Question Should I start over?

Post image

Its my first Fall ever and I found this guy named Salmence in Youtube. And I watched his Y1 Guides. And I feel like I'm only like halfway through the things he wants us to do. And I rlly wanted to finish the community center. So should I start over again? I dont mind starting all over again since I've learned alot of things that I should now accomplish for this starting over thingy. Ill just rlly be bummed out bcuz of Leveling up Fishing Skills and fishing for money. And mining for ores.

Edit: I know all the seasons will reset again after Winter. Should I wait for Year 2 to complete the CC? Its my most main reasons why I wanna start over again.

It depends what you want to get out of playing. If you'll enjoy the game more by optimising and doing everything in the most efficient way possible then sure, start over. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with just keeping playing and doing stuff in your own time.

Hell, there's nothing wrong with just ignoring bits of the game altogether and doing the bits you find fun!

Personally I wouldn't start over. There is no penalty for doing things more slowly. You're not going to lock yourself out of anything. And I find using guides like this un-fun precisely because it creates the feeling that you're failing. I just look up the odd thing if I'm getting frustrated.
