Guide: How to get Villager Pics
We all know that Villager pictures are not easy-to get, but here's a few tips that can help you along your way!
-Talk to them
Talk to your villagers daily, so you do favors for them, and deliveries. This helps increase friendship ^^
Also as you may know, if you don't talk to them for a week they'll most likely ask you to move.
Talk to them at least 5-10 times a day
-Doing favors
Doing favors & deliveries is a big part of getting their pictures! Especially hard-to do ones, such as getting a gold stag, or a shark. :3
NOTE:
Failing an errand for a villager decreases friendship. (It's better to say no than to accept and ignore).
-Visits
Villagers love having guests and visiting your house!! When a villager pops up unexpectedly at your home, it means that you are close friends, and they don't mind showing up on short notice.
Always leave nice comments on their house when you visit!!
-Mail
Sending a lot of mail with gifts also helps, {Most villagers like furniture the most, not really clothing.
and they don't use the wallpaper/floor.}
From personal experience, DON'T EVER MAIL FRUIT TO THEM!!
I mailed fruit to everybody in my town and they ended up giving it back to me!
-April fools day
As you all know, on april fools day Blanca {White cat with no face} will be around your town tree area, and when you talk to her she will disappear into one of your villager's houses. When you find her, she'll be a copy of your villager and you must find the real version of the villager. They'll give you hints such as their birthday, their favorite saying, their dreams, etc. Blanca will give you false info about the villager such as their birthday. If you don't know which is the real version and you need more information, select the option: "I don't know" and talk to them again to get more information. If you find the real version of the villager, he/she will give you their picture and be happy. If you don't guess correctly, the villager will be sad/depressed, and you will get Blanca's picture instead in the mail the following day.
-This is recurring, you can get all your villager's pictures on that day as for she goes to all of your villagers houses one by one.-
{Guessing incorrectly lowers friendship D:}
-Birthdays
When a villager has a birthday, He/she will send a letter to you 2-3 days before inviting you to their birthday party. Make sure you bring a gift that he/she likes {List can be found here}
And wrap it up! This helps increase friendship!
-Leaving Villagers
Sometimes villagers that are moving out the town give you their pictures if your friendship with them is very high.
-Petitions
Villagers love petitions! It shows that you tried hard to get signatures for them, and it increases your chances of getting their picture.
Also, try resetting when you give them the fully signed petition.
{Saving and quitting before giving it to them, then going back and giving it to them. If you get their picture save and continue, if you don't quit to home without saving and go back into the game.}
-Sick Villagers
We all get sick sometime during our life! So do our villagers! When one of your villagers is sick, check up on them daily, for a duration for about 4 days until they get better after giving medicine to them every day. Medicine can be purchased starting from the second upgrade of nookling junction. They might even give their picture to you on the 4th day if you are good friends!
Time Capsules
After a few weeks of burying a villager's time capsule, they might ping you and tell you to dig up their time capsule, or you will find it in a "star" digspot.
When you give them their time capsule, they thank you and almost always give you what's inside of their time capsule. Sometimes you will get a prize that is not what's inside the capsule which may be their picture.
HOW TO CHECK YOUR FRIENDSHIP LEVEL WITH A VILLAGER:
F.A.Q.
{Frequently asked questions}
What is resetting?
Resetting is when before you give a villager their desired item/petition, you save and quit.
Afterwards, you enter the game again, and give the item to them. Depending on the reward they give you, you can either continue playing, or quit to the home screen and close the application without saving. When you do so, you can keep giving the villager their desired item until you get a good prize, or even, their pic!!
I reset so many times! Why haven't I gotten a pic?!
This is because your friendship level is not high enough. No matter how many times you reset, you'll only get a rare item prize, or a normal reward from the nook brother's shop.
I suggest you stop after resetting 30 times {Personal experience}.
*A suggestion for when to do resetting, or to reset is when you are about to finish a petition, or a hard-to-do task such as getting a shark, or a rare specimen.
Does my friendship with a villager have to be at maximum for them to give me their pic?7
No, it does not have to be at maximum. You just have to be very good friends for them to give you their pic. However, if you get friendship at maximum, they will give you their picture very often as to only getting their pic once after completing a task when your friendship with them is very high.
I heard there was an HHA bonus for pictures?
This is true, you get extra points for pictures if you remain good friends with a villager, {Having friendship not at default level}.
You can also get a bonus of 7777 points for ONE of the villager pictures in your house during April, however you can only get the bonus if the villager that's in the picture still lives in your town.
{Blanca's picture also counts for a bonus during april.}

HOW TO CHECK YOUR FRIENDSHIP LEVEL WITH A VILLAGER:
- #1
A villager will come to your house without you inviting them
This means your friendship level is high.
#2
Find the villager you want to check, then make sure they are at the corner of your screen and use your mega phone to call out their name. If they just look around, it means your friendship level is at default, or low. If they wave to you, it means you're good friends. If they wave to you and "sing", then this means your friendship level is extremely high {Or at maximum}
WARNING
If you are too close to the villager you are testing. You might surprise/scare them and lower your friendship level with them.
#3
If a villager is sitting down on a two-person bench, you can check your friendship level by sitting next to them. If they don't look at you, then your friendship level is at default, or at a "low" level.If they turn to look at you, then you have are good friends. If they turn to you and they smile, then it means your friendship is at a very high level.
