Just when I have some decent inventory management going, now my inventory needs to be full. Thanks Nintendo.

The easiet way to fill up your inventory is to have a lot of money. Get a fruit stack in your inventory and go to the ABD and withdraw the max amount. And just deposit it all back in.

It's like they want people to ruin their villager's homes. Ughh...

Thanks so much for posting this, I had no idea this was changed in the latest update. Quite the opposite of a OoL improvement if you ask me.

Guess I'll have to finally clean out the mailbox. I've been using it as extra storage space.

Updated main post with the easiest way to fill up and empty your inventory.

Thank you for sharing this! I used to give my villagers workbenches before switching to non-native fruit. I don’t think I gave my previous Roscoe (i booted him out with an amiibo and reinvited him with amiibo card) that many workbenches, but his skull radio did randomly disappear, so I can’t help wonder if maybe I did.

I’ve been wondering why I haven’t been getting any pictures from villagers I know I had close to max friendship with. Just got two pictures today in the mail by using the money method and stacks of fruit with full inventory.

Wait, so gifting them fruit DOESN'T work? I've been gifting them all coconuts everyday hoping for pics

So, to be clear, with the item stack method you gift them one item from a stack of fruit, but it doesn't need to be wrapped? And they won't take the whole stack?

it only works if it's not wrapped. They'll only take one fruit from the stack. If you give it to them wrap, you will get an item back because there is now an empty slot in your inventory.

THANK YOU! I tried this and while most of my villagers gave me junk (just gotta keep at it!) I got Julian's pic first try

EDIT: Also, you don't need a lot of bells for it. Just have 100 or 1000 bell stacks in your inventory- works exactly the same and no trips to the bank.

 

[John Wick]

That explains why I got nothing after TT'g and gifting over 100 fruit!

I won't bother now.

Thanks nintendo.

 

[John Wick]

I've always given stacked fruit but never with a full inventory.

I just tried it and TT'd to tomorrow and Claude sent me his pic.

I've done it with the others and just waiting to see how many it works with.

 

[Xara]

oh yikes i’ve been giving them fruit for months now lmao. love this for me - looks like i’ll have to go back to completing requests for them lmaoo

 

[_Rainy_]

Why would they change that?

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.

 

[Underneath The Stars]

yikes. so this is why i'm never getting pics anymore. why did they randomly change this lol. i guess i can still rely on wall items if i don't have enough fruit stack (edit: nvm i misunderstood, i thought you'd give the full stack), as i never really gifted that much furniture. thanks for the heads up though!

There’s another instance that can result in receiving a villager photo.

Today, Kiki told me that Lobo is sick. I went over to his house and gave him medicine. Because our friendship level is high, he gave me his photo after he took the medicine.

 

[jasa11]

U can get pics from them pinging u aswell?

 

[Underneath The Stars]

I just don't understand who at the Animal Crossing team thought this needed to be changed and why.

Even with the fruit method it still took really long to get a picture without Time Travel so it's not as if it was ever "too easy".​

honestly i don't see the point either and you're right it's not even as easy to begin with. such a non-issue for them to change this randomly.

I wonder if they're trying to stop people from time traveling, because I have no idea what their issue is with how people play.

tbh i rarely know people who tt for the purpose of getting a pic. aside from it being tedious, i feel like people tt for other reasons mostly. don't understand their issue with this as well. it normally take me months before i get a villager pic.

I’d be fine with way way extended villager picture timelines if they let us have more villagers

ditto.

 

[niconii]

I’ve been gifting Flora daily to no avail, still don’t have her photo yet. :/ going to try the stacked fruit tip! I just want to get her photo and get her to move already. ;;

hold on though. if we can " Gift them wrapped nonnative fruit until you can change their greeting. Then do the fruit stack trick. " then, how many points does it give now? is it still the same and they just deliberately coded that the gift could never be a villager pic? because whew chile

i just checked on mine and as of 1.3.x we truly can't get pics from fruits, because i was thinking why did i get raymond's pic then? i looked through my recent vids, and saw that i got his pic because i gifted him hanging terrarium when i ran out of fruits in pockets. and here i thought my earlier villagers, fauna & jeremiah just refuses to give me their pics smh.

I haven't had it happen it me. Updated that it needs confirmation but doing the fruit stack trick will guarantee a mailed item the next day that can be a photo if the friendship is high enough.

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
