#acnl plot resetting

So, do you know the first villagers that move in your town, after your initial five ones? Yeah, you can “choose” them. Actually, you choose if you want them or not.

By this method, I was able to get Tammy and Gaston into my new town 😍 (so worth it!!).

Here’s how to do it (plot resetting):

Log in a new character, on that day, without entering your own character.

Walk around town and see if there is any house being built. If so, check to whom it belongs.

Do you like or dislike the villager? If you dislike, you can repeat the steps above until you find one you like.

However, if you (finally) like the villager, you have to register your character as a citizen (go to town hall + build home + go back to town hall + save game).

When the game saves, you successfuly have your villager! You are free to delete the character by demolishing their house, or keep them if you want to! Don’t worry, your villager will move to your town regardless, since you saved the game.

OBS:

Make sure you log into a new character (New Save File). DON’T log in your character/mayor, or the game will save before it starts, and you won’t be able to change the villager;

The process may take long, since the game chooses the villagers randomly (don’t give up!!).

So because I screwed up Eunice’s plot resetting I’ve had to go through this whole shebang to redo it. I accidentally didn’t TT and sealed the town layout so she blew up several trees and some of my pink cosmos.. RIP. Today I’m plotting in a villager someone else wants so I could boot out Eunice and they legitimately plotted in the same spot.. except 1 spot to the left which tried to destroy more flowers.

Heey ! So, you wanna plot reset but don’t know how ? I got you covered ! Here’s my little tutorial, mainly created for myself when people ask me how to do it, but feel free to use !

A) you know someone’s gonna move in aka you fetched someone/just started/scanned a card.. etc B) create a new villager ** C) when done talking to rover, take a tour of your town (with the WA update, they don’t go on paths.. so you can just paths some areas you don’t want them into - but be careful !! as they will go on it anyway if there’s no place for them) D) if you like the area they’re in, great! talk to isabelle & place the house. you can delete that villager after you saved & quit. D-2) if not… quit without saving. press main menu & exit game. rinse & repeat   B & C. Note that after about 10 times, you’ll need to completely shut the 3ds since the villager will had gain a “pattern”.
