Mr. Resetti may not lecture you like in the old days, but his reset service still packs a punch. Here’s how to use it to give your island a fresh start-without losing everything you love.
How to use Resetti’s Reset Service in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Locate Resetti wandering your island after the 3.0 update and speak to him to unlock his service, with the first use free. Afterward, request it from Isabelle at Resident Services for 60,000 Bells per day, which covers multiple resets until midnight. Select to reset the whole island, beaches only, or a 7×7 area using the Transceiver he provides; items like furniture, fences, and dropped objects go to storage, while trees, rocks, and paths stay unless specified, and a preview shows changes before confirming.
To use the Reset Service, players need to speak to Isabelle at Resident Services, then select the option to call the service. The first time players use the service, it’s free, but after that it will cost 60,000 bells per use. However, this payment entitles players to use Resetti’s service as much as they want to on their island for an entire day.
Once Isabelle has gotten in contact with Resetti, he’ll once again be wandering around somewhere on the island. Speak to him, and he will give three different resetting options: the entire island, just the beach, or a specific area selected by the player. If the player selects the third option, Resetti will give them a transceiver to summon him once they’ve chosen an area. The actual dimensions of the custom reset area – which measures 10×10 squares – can’t be adjusted, only its placement can. Everything reset during use of the service will be sent to players’ storage, except for flowers, which they can opt to destroy instead.
Can Resetti restore villager placements or only terrain
Resetti’s Reset Service in Animal Crossing: New Horizons focuses on clearing placed items and terrain modifications, not villager placements. It cannot restore or alter villager house positions, which remain fixed once established.
Eligible Items
Resetti resets furniture, fencing, ladders, dropped items, custom paths (optional), flowers (optional deletion), and cockroaches, sending most to storage. Terrain like paths and clutter gets undone, but buried or planted elements such as trees, bushes, crops, weeds, and rocks stay intact.
Exclusions
Villager homes, plots, buildings, and natural features like cliffs or ponds lie outside Resetti’s scope. Player-made terrain changes (e.g., paths) can revert, but villager-related structures require manual island design tools or other methods.
Which specific items Resetti does not move during a reset
Resetti’s Reset Service in Animal Crossing: New Horizons skips several specific items during resets, focusing only on surface-placed or optional elements.
Items Not Moved
Resetti does not touch trees, bushes, vegetables, crops, weeds, or rocks, as these count as buried or planted features. Villager houses, plots, buildings, cliffs, ponds, and other natural terrain remain unaffected.
Other Limits
Fences in protected areas, resident structures, and items inside homes stay put. He handles only eligible surface clutter like furniture and ladders, sending them to storage.
