[Smoreslickgores]

I see a save button then replace the Garden.dat file with the edited one then I load up the town then the edits I made were not there anymore, please help me.

Hello. This is really very late, but if you are still experiencing this issue, you may just make sure you have replaced the garden_plus.dat file in sdmc:/3ds/Checkpoint/saves/. Then make sure to restore the save with Checkpoint. (ACNL 1.5 uses garden_plus.dat, not gardent.dat, make sure you have the correct file name.)
