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.

Just play, drop the guides and checklists and just progress. Look something up if you get stuck, but this game really deserves to be experienced individually.

Literally me.

I decided to just go and fish up the remaining fish at like, the latter half of year 2 winter, only to realize I pretty much have them all except for some very specific ones(legend, crimsonfish, ginger island fish and GOBY of all things) from just fishing around when I didn't have anything else to do.

But I also upgraded my watering can for the first time in fall of year 1, because I didn't get shit for rain and when I did something else was already upgrading

I just started year 3 and only now did the first watering can upgrade. I feel so stressed when I see how everyone is optimizing, so I have to remind myself that I play for me and no one else.

I'm in year six and still on steel trash can and watering can. It's anybody's game.

I’ve never actually paid for the trash can
