Kept wondering why I was getting the same clothing over and over again from my villagers whenever I gifted them non-native fruit. I wish they hadn't change the money reward and it's even more disappointing they made it harder to get villager photos. Guess I'll try the stacked fruit method

Just want to say thank you for this! I hadn’t realized the mechanics had changed and was getting very frustrated with three weeks of trying to get photos and no luck. But I started giving the villagers with high enough friendship iron wall lamps (not worried about keeping them original) and hanging terrariums (which I conveniently got the recipe for this week) and right away I started getting photos - 4 in the first two days. It took a week (with no time traveling) to get the 7 photos I had been trying to get. The hold out, Bangle, my original peppy, handed her photo over yesterday.
So hang in there everybody!! I don‘t know if I just had extra good luck, but even if you feel like you will never get all the photos, it will happen!

Hello everyone, with the new 1.4 update, this guide is no longer 100% accurate. I'll be updating it as soon as possible once I'm able to confirm a few things. I'm also looking for time traveler testers with villagers they are willing to make unoriginal.

I knew they'd make it even harder. I am never getting Fauna's ******* picture

That's good to hear! The post before yours seemed to suggest it was on the way out

The fruit stack still works. But other friendship stuff changed like the bell trick doesn't work anymore

I've gotten all photos from my villagers who've lived with me for a month or more with the stacked fruit trick pre-1.4 update. I like to believe that Goldie just doesn't want to leave me.

I'm having the same prob with stitches. I'm getting dup photos at this point.
Do the fruits have to be wrapped ? Best friends with Audie and Bianca but no pic
you cant do with a wrapped fruit. your inv have to be full and then give em a foreign fruit from a stack of fruits They will dialogue to you that they will mail you the item since your inv is full. The next day there is a random chance for it to be photo.

will give it a try

Thank GOODNESS! I was super nervous since this method has been working great for me so far. I have pics from everyone on my island besides Shep, but he literally just moved in a few hours ago
The bell trick not working doesn't bother me much. I've never had an issue getting a villager's friendships maxed- I usually do it accidentally.
If they've maxed friendship they actually CAN'T be wrapped if you wanna do stack method. You need to have a full inventory for it to work, and if they're wrapped and you gift them, it frees up a space. Gift them the top item from a stack and keep your inventory stuffed and there's a chance they'll send the pic via mail.Do the fruits have to be wrapped ? Best friends with Audie and Bianca but no pic
And, like I said, I have all my villager's pics do to stack method. It can take awhile (Rex and Coach were STUBBORN AS HECK) but it WORKS.

Thank goodness the fruit stack trick still works.
It's really annoying that they are spending so much time making it difficult to get photos without ruining villager houses, but they aren't fixing it so that you can raise your friendship by sending letters. Their priorities are so odd.

It is truly odd that they haven’t fixed the zero friendship points awarded by letters / mailed gifts. Like, clearly it is supposed to work differently by design. Who knows why they nixed it

The Nook Miles achievement for sending letters even implies (and has implied since launch) that you would raise your friendship by sending letters. It says something to the effect of 'letters are a great way to deepen friendships' Like I said, fixing that should be their priority instead of finding new and exciting ways to annoy the people who are trying to get items the proper way.

Updated photo and friendship guide for 1.4.X
If I’m reading it correctly, could I get a photo back if I gifted a two stack of foreign fruits that were gift wrapped?

Yes but you still get a higher chance of a photo in the mail vs getting it in person from the villager via gifting

I have managed to get some photos quite quickly from villagers using the fruit stack technique.... but Zucker is proving to be very difficult to get one from. I changed his greeting and he is mailing me random stuff all the time from this technique. So I bought something expensive that I thought would suit him since he isn't original anymore anyway... and he gave me another random item! It was worth over 4,000 bells as well.
