I am getting overwhelmed now... I will be back in a minute. I'm obviously talking to master race hackers and the like while I'm just a disabled ex S/O with basic computer skills... If I can figure out how to get a clearer picture I will do it, but I obviously am using a laptop and web cameras are not for looking at phone and game screens. Now please excuse me while I try to figure this out from the good advice I've been given before I get confused by all of this xD
Just try to relax, you don't need a clearer picture, I know exactly the problem you're having. Basically it boils down to something you changed in your town layout is causing the game to crash, likely due to invalid town layout data. (the game tries to understand your layout and something you changed makes the game halt catastrophically)
To clarify, your game isn't broken, and your 3DS is fine, the problem you are having is JUST broken town save crashing the game.
There's ways to fix it:
- Restore a backup from before you edited the save file (this may involve secure value crap, below I mentioned a solution for mitigating that)
- Delete the save file (obviously this one is a horrible last resort option)
- Figure out what edit you made broke the save file (and change it so it's not broken anymore)
ok I'll try that too. also I'm ust using the thing that came with it save_manager
e_e that's a pretty outdated tool, you should probably using JKSM instead, if you'd like I could explain how to set that up and how it works. (It's basically a more powerful, more fancy save manager, like you have, except it lets you name your backups, have multiple of them at a time, handles the secure value stuff for ya)
