So, I have been milling over the idea of restarting my original copy of New Leaf for a long time, yet every time I put the cartridge in and start it up, I just can't let go of my town. However, I haven't been able to play my town in about 4 months, which is part of the reason I haven't picked it back up-- I know as soon as I do all of my villagers will be gone and my town will look terrible.

So, to those of you who have struggled with this, what should I do? For those of you that have held on to old towns, why did you? To those of you that restarted, was it easier to let go than you thought? Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
