For 1.9 there has been some changes after looking at the data mine chat very briefly. Fruit stack trick doesn't work with items under 750 sell value. Best use giant clams for now. I'll update this guide in a few days.

Does the Iron Wall Lamp (wrapped up in gift) still work?

Updated March 19 for version 1.9.X

• Fruit stack trick doesn't work with any fruits. I'm calling this stack trick now to avoid the confusion.
• Stack does work if you use a stackable item sells for 750+ like giant clams (900), gold nugget (10000), pearl (10000), elegant mushroom (10000) or rare mushroom (16000).
• Removed some sections
• Fixed typos

If you gave them a clam would they display it in their house?

I believe they would display a clam. Ugh.

I'll stick with wrapped stacks of fruit and iron wall lamps. I just received two photos today using those items and the villagers' houses still look cute.

I believe like other crafting materials they will not display shells - the stack method with giant clams is referring to the seashell not the sea creature. And not will crafting materials and seashells be counted in their inventories.

the wall lamps will not be displayed, but if their furniture inventories become full furniture items will start to disappear - fwiw I have primarily heard of people noticing this in villagers with a lot of furniture and it usually seems to start with wall furniture disappearing, particularly in like Julian and Judy’s houses for example, people were upset because the star garlands started disappearing. So the wall lamps will not mess up the houses initially, but do fill the inventory behind the scenes and could cause issues once the inventory fills up. The original post lists the number of inventory spots, I think it is is like 32?

I think wrapped non-native fruit is really the best method to get photos. The 1.5% higher chance isn’t really that much better especially now that you need at minimum to look for a giant clam and then have to fill your inventory with coins. Too many extra steps to be worth it.

The giant clam is the crafting item that you just find on the beach not the one you have to dive for.

thanks for the useful info! i'll definitely be trying this once i get all my dreamies to get their photos!

I meant the shell not that huge gigas clam.

 

[Livia]

I can confirm that they don’t display giant clams. I’ve been gifting giant clams to my villagers for months and their houses haven’t changed.

They don't display crafting items. I've been giving them the crafting seashells for months now.

well, looks like it’s time for me to start stockpiling giant clams again. >_< ty for the info!

I thought I put my beach combing days behind me!

I can also confirm villagers don't display clams in their house. I've been gifting 2 wrapped giant clams over the last few weeks, and I've yet to see one show up as a decoration.

Just to clarify - it sounds like you can still give them a stack of wrapped fruit and get a photo back.

The thing that has changed is giving them fruit from a stack when your inventory is full (and then they mail you a gift).

At least that's how I'm understanding it?

Don't forget pumpkins are fruit! I like pumpkins more because they grow faster, take less space and when it rains you don't have to water them to get more.

The only downside is you have to water them if you want more than 1 fruit per plant if it doesn't rain.

ah yeah, i should've clarified! I always give them fruit from a stack to get gifts in the mail. maybe I've gotta up my fruit harvesting game and start doing the alternative method lol

I've had amazing luck just gifting 2x wrapped foreign fruit.

I wouldn't worry about finding other stacked items or resorting to the time consuming and resource-heavy iron-wall lamps, which I believe potentially ruin villagers' houses.
