Villager Photos

[MelodyRivers]

I have had tank on my island from the beginning. He is my starter jock. I have all reactions from him, have gotten nicknames from him, made a secret greeting and even been asked to change his catchphrase ( I said no because I like his catchphrase and I don’t want my villagers sharing them) I have not however managed to get his photo. This is one spoiled rhino. I have given him so many shirts, jackets, workout equipment etc but still no photo. I will admit that I don’t always give him something everyday.
are there any tricks to getting photos? Something new I could try? Do I need to just make sure I gift something everyday?

I have had good luck getting photos by gifting 2 wrapped, non-native fruit each day. 3 wrapped coconuts is equivalent.

have u got 3 other photos?
i think i read somewhere (maybe reddit) u can only have 3 best friends at a time but idk if it's true or not

I second the fruit trick! I had trouble getting photos before, but the fruit trick works. I have no problems now. I usually just wrap up 3 non native fruits (1 more than needed, but its easy) to give them.

I’m started giving them 5 wrapped non native fruits , it’s my 3 rd day by now. Oh I did not know that we can give them to coconuts as well , good to know that

The fruit trick definitely works. I have photos from Lucky, Merengue, Tangy, Audie, and Zucker by doing the fruit method everyday!

@Jam86 no that's not the case.

Yes, there are some tricks! This thread is dedicated to it:

I have only recently started and so far have three photos. I got two of them yesterday started off with the fruit trick then moved onto pumpkins as I had so many and no use for them

I had this problem because Tammy, my starter never gave me her photo, so what I did was order like 10 antique beds, wrap them all, and give them to her every day

I havent gotten any photos from any of my villagers yet. I’m also close to Whitney and Melba too

I swear by the stack method! Give them a piece of exotic fruit (coconuts count) from a stack with a full inventory (note- the stack MUST be unwrapped)- they'll take one piece of fruit (as long as it's not wrapped) and then mail you a gift the next day. You have a higher chance of getting a picture that way. I've gotten all but one of my pictures (and I have more then I know what to do with at this point) this way!

I recently got Kody and Daisy to cough up their photo, both times it was in exchange for wrapped fruit.

Can you tell how many days does take to get their photos by gifting them?

Argh RNG eh? I definitely do recommend the fruit trick, two non-native fruits in gift paper plus, the best thing is it doesn't mess up their houses! Which was a big problem I encountered when I first started playing the game

It depends. The shortest amount of time it took me to get a photo was 17 days, and that was from them being new and unpacking to receipt. For whatever reason, Daisy took her sweet time, while Audie was in a hurry.

I second whoever suggested the fruit stack method! I think about half of my pictures have actually been from the fruit stack method. it means you have to wait a bit of extra time to actually receive anything in return but I think it does increase the chances you get a photo!

I just stacked unwrapped non native fruit, with a full inventory, and got their pics in the mail.

 

[UglyMonsterFace]

I always give a 2 stack non native fruit wrapped. The gift has to be a certain value amount to actually be able to receive the photo in return. I forget the exact value but 2 non native fruits stacked up do the trick!

I just gave tank a wrapped stack of coconuts will a full inventory but he just gave me some stupid peice of clothing after I handed him the gift. Is there some trick to it? Because as soon as I give him the gift there’s a space in my pockets
