They changed it that you can't get the a photo if the item sell value is less than 2500 bells. Fruits and shells are the only two items that keeps a villager 100% original. Any furniture, clothing, rugs, wallpapers, and floors they will store in their inventory and is invisible to players. The friendship points you give for wrapped fruit should still be the same plus a +1 point bonus because they will always give you an item back

has anyone tried with a wrapped stacked fruit? lol because if you think about it the sell value of that is more than 2500 (let's say 6 non-native fruits) that's a lot of fruit though just for a single gift that i feel like i'm better of just doing the stacked fruit trick.

This is why I miss the April Fools event. You didn't have to bother with friendship grind. Just do the event and they gift you their pictures if you guess the right doppleganger.

They got rid of that event and gave us Stamp Day or something I think lol. That event was so forgettable, I forgot about it until I went to make this post. Having to hear Blathers tell me about it going on every day and getting kick out of his dialogue options when I wanted to access fossils was so frustrating.

I have done this on accident before. They take the whole stack.

Is the game able to register that it's a stack and add up the total value of it?

Don't think so. I think did this pre 1.3 and it just gave me bells. I don't care enough to have 100 fruit trees around to test this.

I can try the wrapped fruit stack later today and report back, if no one beats me to it.

 

[Underneath The Stars]

it's probably possible to test it with the exit without saving trick but tedious.

You'll have to do this a while cause you will always get an item back now for nonnative fruit. If your friendship is high enough to change their catchphrase, it'll random when you get the picture.

I’ve been on level 6 with Fauna for a couple months now and still no picture, so she seems like as good a target as any. I’ve waited this long, so if it doesn’t work nothing has really changed for me!

It does work the same way but with the bank I don't have to divide it to 100 bells and then have to put each one away.

See, I find that easier than running to the bank

EDIT: Oh! Speaking of which, I noticed something weird with it. While I was gifting coconuts, I ran into someone crafting in their house. Right after I asked for the recipe I thought "Oh, dang, I'll have to clear my inventory first..." but, surprisingly, I got the recipe. I checked my inventory and it seemed all the stacks had been stuffed back in my wallet instead of my inventory. Weird!

Also, I got Dobie and Ursala's pics this morning That way, if they want to move now, I can say okay... because I can just bring them back with Amiibos! But I didn't want to do that until I had their pics since I didn't want to have to worry about maxing their friendship again (not that it's hard, I've had villagers I wasn't even trying with ask for a secret greeting)

Thanks for the heads up! I thought the last three villagers to not give me a pic yet were just being really, really stubborn. What a bizarre and unwelcome change, out of all the actually useful updates that could have been made.

I know right! I even found it bothersome to wrap each fruit. Now I don't think I'll bother to get their pics anymore.

so just to clarify, they can still give you their picture by pinging you and giving it to you? is that the only way now aside from this weird full pockets method? i like to try and earn my villagers’ photos naturally so i just play normally and give them cute clothing every now and then. not sure how long it will take now that they’ve changed this.

thanks!

I think the pinging thing has been theorized but no one has evidence of it happening yet. There are other ways listed in the original post, most are related to quests or things where villagers reward you with an item.

Since the gift has to be greater than $2500 in sell value to get a photo back, it sounds like it will no longer be possible to get a photo back from most clothing gifts.

Update! Finally got 2 photos on the same day using the full inventory method. So glad I learned that the wrapped fruit didn’t work anymore

There's only a small number of the clothing that has a sell value of 2500+. You can sort by sell value here https://nook.exchange/?c=clothing

I have yet to see or hear about a villager run up to do and give you their photo. I think it's very unlikely but I'm not dismissing the possibility of it completely. You can always do their requests and they might give a photo.

Is that why I’ve only been getting clothes now instead of the 650 or 750 bells and no photo? I was able to get Raymond and Sherb’s photos by gifting them the wrapped fruit. But recently I noticed that none of them would give me money or photos. This explains it.

 

[Serabee]

Using the full pocket method I've now gotten pics from:

-Julian
-Chevre
-Merry
-Dobie
-Ursala

Seriously, if anyone's debating using it, DO IT. It really works and it's not as hard as it first seems

 

[xSuperMario64x]

So they actually changed it so you can't get money by giving them fruit anymore? That's interesting

I noticed this as well -- interesting line of logic that the developers added.

As for my using the full inventory method for the past two days, I've gotten one villager photo per day.
