You can redesign your character at the mirror in Jel's shop. Doesn't address the rest, I know.


iamgob_bluth

I messed up my face too when I first started playing and I haven't been able to fix my face through the wardrobe or Jel's shop. Am I missing something?


bam_uk1981

Looking forward to the plastic surgery update


iamgob_bluth

Thanks šŸ—暟˜‚


nightmare_silhouette

Are you going to the wardrobe door on the left, or the mirror on the right?


iamgob_bluth

I think I've gone to both, but it's been so long that I honestly can't remember. Is the mirror where I can fix my face?


Banaanisade

Yep! You can change face, voice, body type in there. The stuff that isn't available in wardrobes! But it does have a small cooldown (four or five days?) after you use it, so if you accidentally accept before you're done, well...


YellowPumpkin

Thereā€™s a mirror in Joelā€™s shop across from the wardrobes. It lets you change your appearance like once a week or something


Lady0905

Itā€™s not a wardrobe where you fix it. You have to fix it in the large mirror he has in the shop. Or was it one of the changing rooms? šŸ¤” It is possible to fix either way. Iā€™ve done it many, many times because of the bug the market in Feb had.


[deleted]

Good to know! I just wanted a clean slate though for everything else.


asplashofsweetcream

When I started, I clicked through things really fast because I didn't care much and didn't expect to enjoy the game as much as I do. I have put in something like 650 hours though (and more money on cute outfits than I care to admit) so I'm reluctant to start all over! My compromise with myself is that I want to start a new account to go through the quests I've already completed so I can actually pay attention to them then go back to my OG account when I've caught up.


AkariFae

If you just want to read through dialog you missed, the Palia Wiki has most of it, I've gone back and read a lot of stuff just to freshen up my memory.


Nebet

The wiki also collects the dialogueĀ for the prompts you didn't choose, which is just my favorite thing :D


bam_uk1981

The story could be a book


Banaanisade

I may or may not have three accounts at this point. Hrmfp.


bam_uk1981

Iā€™m spent a long time on the villagers, really trying to get them to like me, collecting items and taking time ton talk to them. It made me a bit bored of the game until I found out it was not main point of the game and things opened up to me. My point being I donā€™t think you can waste anytime in Palia, it all pays off.


echuda

I rushed through all the dialog without reading any of it and I regret that the most! They do say some interesting things and I wish I paid attention to it. I have SOOO many quests backed up! I started when the market was up and just focused on game play. I've been catching up to the quests lately (at least once or twice a week I'll solely focus on the quests- finally finished getting the masks! Lol)


elizabeastttt

The only dialogue I really rush(ed) through, thankfully, is just the daily mumbo jumbo with each villager. I took my time of the quests (save for trying to get through one or two right before I had to make dinner or something like that) however some of them were so long now I donā€™t really remember everything until a villager or someone on discord or Reddit brings something up and then Iā€™m like ā€œoh shit! I remember that! And then these ā€˜2-5 other related and non related thingsā€™!ā€ šŸ˜‚


SRglitterpoofs

I really, really want to restart, but I bought outfits and don't know if I want to have to repurchase those items, and I dont want to lose the cute stuff i got from the Market. I wish we had the ability to start fresh. I may just say the hell with it and do it anyway. Not like I'll lose my current account.


AppointmentAny6045

I play on switch and you can have multiple profiles so the game progress isn't the same on each profile so I have another one I can start, if that makes sense


SRglitterpoofs

Same, but I'd still lose my outfits and cute market stuff. Buy you are right. It would be super easy to jump back into the original account that way.


AppointmentAny6045

Yea true, I dont have any outfits so it wouldn't make a difference for mešŸ˜­


HonestEmploy6036

I'll lose my pet but honestly it puts me off when iam cooking its always on my chopping board lol


elizabeastttt

Nothing quite like palcat ass on the prep surfaceā€¦. Kinda reminds me of my brother and his wifeā€™s house. They have 2 cats and a golden retriever puppy. Puppy likes to eat the cat food and anything it can get itā€™s mouth on, so they put the automatic cat feeders on the kitchen countersā€¦. Which I guess would be fine, except one of the cats INSISTS on sitting (with butthole directly on) or lying (with all his fur directly on) the mat that you use to put wet dishes on. Iā€™ve mentioned this to my brother (Iā€™m honestly a little scared of his wife getting upset, so I havenā€™t brought it up to her directly, but I assume heā€™s mentioned it by now to her) yet it clearly doesnā€™t bother EITHER of them because they continue to allow it to happen. So whenever Iā€™m over there, I insist on hand washing any dishes I use beforehand, and drying them with fresh paper towels that hang where no cat or dog can reach themā€¦ cause Iā€™ve witness their puppy firsthand; snatching the towels that hang off the drawers around the kitchen and chew on them and drag them across the floor šŸ˜‚ šŸ¤¢šŸ¤¢šŸ¤® šŸ„²šŸ˜…


1984vintage

Wait, you can have multiple profiles on the switch?


AppointmentAny6045

Yes!


1984vintage

Holy crap! I am today years old.


AppointmentAny6045

Loll


HonestEmploy6036

How can you have other accounts in switch? I need this too

Downtown_Barnacle175

I am not the only one with 4 accounts šŸ˜‡


AppointmentAny6045

Lol, we have a family one, then one for me, my sister and my mom, but I'm literally the only one who uses it anymore


[deleted]

Thatā€™s true you can always restart and still keep your old account! I mean if I remember my login and want to use my old one, one day It is always available to me, itā€™s just Iā€™ll be focusing on my new account more.


sxkuba

you could try messaging support & ask if they could reset your account. not sure if it's possible, but so far they've been really helpful & very quick with any account problems/questions I had :)


echuda

Restart why? If you don't mind me asking


SRglitterpoofs

I feel like I rushed through some things in my extreme excitement to really dive into the game. I zipped through a lot, and I feel like I skipped some things like dialog in quests. I wish I did the relationship progression with the villagers different, I wasted renown on writs instead of upping my focus, I wiped out all of the trees and rocks on my plot thinking the trees would grow back .. just to name a few things lol. I want to take my time and really appreciate the game.


echuda

Oh the dialog! I regret that so much!! I skipped through all of it, I feel like I missed so much information. Just little bits about the village and its history. I feel you, I wiped all my trees too. I wish I kept the big ones. I also "wasted" my seeds replanting them. (I was told you can move these but sadly alas you cannot) I've held off doing the quest (thankfully) do I've been trying to take it slow with that and appreciate what little I can now.


SRglitterpoofs

I love the cute little trees, and I mistakenly thought that if i planted a seed, it would start as a sapling. I totally wish we could move trees around. I'd love to be able to keep more of the baby trees and move them to better spots.


echuda

Ahh! Not sure if you've seen the patch notes but we are getting stages of trees and we can move them !! šŸ’–


lkeels

All that dialog is in the wiki.


Plenty-Salamander-87

I understand where you're coming from but other than clearing the plot (something I regret myself, too!) there is no way to waste things like renown, you'll max everything anyway by the time you've done all quests and achievements and so on. I personally got my max focus up to 300, then spent all renown on exp boost to 100%, then buy all writs and then all wallpapers etc and now I'm just upping my max focus. If you did things in a different order it's basically a bit less efficient but it"ll never be "bad" long term. The only long term thing that's irreversible is the plot clearing, so I'd think about whether it's worth to restart just for that, no? šŸ¤”


SRglitterpoofs

I actually created a new account and have been bouncing back and forth between the 2. I'm really enjoying starting from scratch with the knowledge I now have since I have been playing since the day it dropped on the switch. I have more patience and haven't accidentally sold or cooked items I should hold, don't have to trash 20 tents I crafted on accident because I Mashed buttons too fast, have a name I like a lot better. Maybe one day we will be able to gift other items to friends, and I can move my Maji Market stuff I have dups of to my new account, but I'm loving it!!


Banaanisade

Remember to use your friend recruitment code for a reward...


SRglitterpoofs

I totally forgot about that!! Thanks for the reminder. I got a girl at work to play and forgot to give her that šŸ™ƒ


SRglitterpoofs

I used it and got the cute beanie with Chappa ears šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜


Banaanisade

Yesss! It's adorbs.


SirClipper

it would be awesome if they would add the ability to have multiple characters, could even be limited to 2 or 3 max edit: i spamclicked most of the dialogues and regret it sometimes. missed a lot of the story because of that and wish i could have a second character to go through the story again


[deleted]

Yes I feel like that would help me and my situation a lot lol.


intensethrowaway

Iā€™ve been thinking about this too. Hit level 4 friendship with most NPCs and, outside of the (goddamn) Wind Temple tasks, I think Iā€™m done with most of the quests too. Iā€™m too anxious let go of my progress though. I just need to catch that unicorn fish and the void ray to finish my bundles!!!


chisquared03

The Wind Temple should be fixed now! I was stuck on it for months because of the bug, but with the last patch they were able to fix it for most folks :)


intensethrowaway

I heard! I think the frustration of the overall puzzle mechanics has left me put off from entering that temple againšŸ„¹


Hopelessgirl2

I just went to check and mine is still bugged šŸ˜­


[deleted]

You donā€™t need to let go of your progress! You just can make new account to start again! Your old account will always be available to you!


Djonesy1212

You can always go to the big mirror in Jelā€™s shop to fix the character appearance & voice one a week i believe otherwise yeah, i get where youā€™re coming from!


bam_uk1981

Voice too!?


Djonesy1212

yep! face,voice, basically a re-character customization from the beginning.


bam_uk1981

Changed last night, looking like the best me


SolidPublic3766

I am a serial restarter of almost every game I play. I learn a bunch of new things that change how I want to play. Nothing wrong with it if youā€™re having fun! Canā€™t show off your high levels to your friends, but who plays games just for that anyways?


mizyin

My biggest regret is that I chopped all the nice trees on my plot early on because I had no idea all planted trees will be identical. Now there's no way to get them back!


Odd_sommerdream

Thats so relatable šŸ˜¶ i replanted like 20000 trees and still have so much space left


Gilmoristic

I didn't restart, per say, but I made a second character. I still play my first character the most, but sometimes it's nice to pop on the second to take things slower again and enjoy the beginning.


h39000

I would merely caution that the overwhelming amount of quests is going to happen again. I started in Jan and was playing pretty chill, not worrying about investigator furniture quests etc but even as I ran around giving random gifts, exploring nooks and crannies for fun, I couldn't help stack up the friendship quests, zillion found object quests, all the vault quests (which can somehow land are simultaneouy and don't seem to have any level gating), quests from fishing up an object, quests from rummage piles, etc etc if you want to restart it does seem many folks here have had positive experiences. but if you think you can play "slower" without acquiring a backlog of 30-40 quests I'd advise you to think again.


[deleted]

I understand this! most games get overwhelming with quests. The issue I am having is that some of the quest I have require items only obtainable once you reach a friendship with a character. Instead of trying to increase all my friendships equally I have focused on a few characters meaning I will be stuck for ages leveling the other characters up just to finish some quests. And Iā€™ll get more guests whole leveling them up. I donā€™t know it just overwhelmed me. So Iā€™m going to try to level everyone up together for the most part.


LoraLegend

I started a 2nd account because of this myself and I have had a much better experience this time around. I would level all the friendship levels together, because it did help alot this time around


Plenty-Salamander-87

If you just keep playing then your friendships will even out... I befriended Nai'o first, and only him, to get apple seeds before lvl 10 farming, and by now I'm lvl 4 with most villagers. I found once I started paying a bit of attention it takes about two weeks (if that) to reach lvl 4 with a villager. I'd recommend just focusing on relationships for 2, 3 evenings of playing and you'll save a lot of time compared to starting all over. And then you can just do the quests quickly, the vast majority of them don't take long.


Fannie_Smith_Apple

I have been contemplating this for some time but I have achieved so much I'm afraid to lose it all and start over


[deleted]

I get that like for me my house was what was stopping for a while. but youā€™ll always have your first account if you decide you want to go back to it!


Macaron-or-Macaroon

I restarted. I use both accounts because I bought clothes. It had been working on my new character. I have almost every skill leveled to 10 or higher.


No-Antelope-17

I have three accounts, and am debating a fourth. I want to romance Hodari all over again. šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ I really love my 3rd account so much, but at least I can go back to it.


TheEven1ngStar

I have already created another accound to play on when I get used to everything and on there I plan on playing everything "right", but I'll probably keep my first my main accound.


zerooze

I restarted too! I played about 2 weeks before I did it, so I didn't lose much progress. I was happy I did it. I kind of want to restart again because I messed up my Shepp ceremony. I had it during the first Maji Market, and I rushed through it so I could get to the market. I thought it was just the first part of having a Shepp and didn't realize that it was the whole thing. I have so much more progress now that it would be killer to restart now. Maybe I'll go back to the first save that I abandoned and do the Shepp quest there.


Sweaty-Razzmatazz948

I want to do this so bad but Im on switch. Do I just create a new email?


tallestgiraffkin

I think youā€™d need a new Nintendo account


sassadoo1

A new Nintendo account... which you'd need a new email for anyway! I promise it isn't all too daunting.


KaalaMizhu

Hi, you can change the way your character looks in Jel's shop if you interact with the big mirror in there However, I totally understand wanting a clean slate to mitigate the chaos and take things more slowly.


randomredditguy94

I understand the reasoning though. But yeah after hundreds of hours into the game and completed all the starred fish and bug I would never think of restarting hehe.


RoboCoupe_943

I'm just playing it as a cozy distraction, so if you want to add friends to help you along and share resources and stuff feel free to shoot me a message here! I can add you in game. More than happy to make new digital friends.


apatheticwondering

I belatedly realized my female character has a booming male voice. Donā€™t know how I missed voice selection when creating my toon, lol. I usually play with the volume low or off with my audiobook playing or something ~~while~~ in between working; it wasnā€™t until just the other day I had the volume loud enough to notice my voiceā€¦ and that there are audio cues for various events. šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø


12bnseattle

I think you can change that at Jel's! Or is voice something you can't change? You can submit a ticket to change your name, maybe you can ask for that.


NeitherTouch951

Funny I left the male voice on mine and when the fairgrounds travel reset my appearance I was unfortunately defaulted to a female voice. I'm so glad this topic came up - now I know I just need to use the mirror at Jel's so I stop having that giggle!


Elustra

I was thinking about doing it too. Seeing this post helped me decide to go for it! Thanks!!


Elustra

I was thinking about doing it too. Seeing this post helped me decide to go for it! Thanks!!


[deleted]

Iā€™m glad I was able to help! Iā€™ve been playing all day and loving it! So happy I decided to finally do it.


slvermoonsparkle

I have been thinking about this for days actually. And I opened Reddit to make a post just like this and this is the first one in my feed. I have been playing for some time, but only in small intervals as ā€¦ life. But, Iā€™ve made some progress that I really donā€™t want to lose. I also donā€™t want to create a second account. I donā€™t play games, this was my first attempt at getting into them. So because of that I messed up a lot of things. I built my house weird because I wasnā€™t aware of how it worked. Just many things that I wish I had done differently. Some quests I did too soon or out of order and they donā€™t make sense. Everything is a mess and so disorganized I donā€™t even want to play anymore.


[deleted]

Sometimes you need to reset that way you can enjoy the game more. Iā€™ve had several games Iā€™ve done a reset for and Iā€™ve enjoyed playing them more because of that. Loosing progress always sucks but you get the progress back again knowing what youā€™re doing. You get to experience the game again but be able to rewrite the mistakes you made the first time. Sometimes you just need to reset to enjoy the game to its fullest.


slvermoonsparkle

Can you delete and start again without creating a new account? ETA, I am a switch user, and like I said I have no experience with any gaming.


[deleted]

Iā€™m not really sure how the switch version works. Iā€™m on PC. sorry.


slvermoonsparkle

thanks anyways!


thickthighs_oddvibes

I have thought about making another account JUST to get the rocks, bushes, and smaller trees back on my plot now that I know what I know. But I want to keep my current account and just make another one for the do over lol. I worked hard for the progress Iā€™ve made lol


kaw91110

I rushed through quests and Iā€™m stuck on some because I havenā€™t built my friendship high enough.


AmbitionThin2175

Iā€™ve been thinking of doing the same, is there a way to like gift yourself resources you have in your original game?


Mighty-Tiny

Same. I didnā€™t create a login at first because I didnā€™t expect to love the game so much. So now I cannot get any login prizes and that bums me out


kangsvn

i uninstalled it bc the quests i have will take some leveling up in the cooking skill, finding rare bugs and fulfilling other usersā€™ requests (which i have no way of getting resources as well). also the mask quest where it says to figure out the meaning of the masks but donā€™t i have to go into jinaā€™s temple for that (and i can only go in there once i level up my relationship w herā€¦???) anywaysā€¦ i havenā€™t been getting any other quests so i was like whatā€™s the point yk šŸ˜­


PackageDry9183

I was on like level 1 with jina when I got that quest, sheā€™s easy to level up, just give her mushroomsĀ 


sassadoo1

You should absolutely do this if you want to! Your choice is valid and 100% yours, good luck doing it all your way one more time, friend!


sassadoo1

Oh but also, **don't delete your old account!** It's fun to have two when you want to experiment... AND they might fix the problems sometime in the future for you anyway!


[deleted]

I won't be deleting my old account just in case! Thank you for your kind words!


SirenSingsOfDoom

Iā€™ve considered it, but ultimately decided I didnā€™t want to redo the work. Listen, itā€™s a game. You can play the game in the way that works best for you, and it is supposed to be fun. So if you are not having fun, do what you gotta to make it fun again.
