neither. If you gift a wrapped stack of 2 foreign fruits or 3 coconuts you can get their photos and it will not affect the villagers’ inventories.
(Wall furniture like the iron wall lamps that used to be popular will not be displayed, but will effect their houses eventually by filling up their inventories)
So the fruit stack trick still works? I was having trouble with it where the villager would just take the fruit from the stack and then not say anything about sending me a gift I thought something may have changed in the update.. Does having flowers in your inventory cause them not to reciprocate the gift?

Fruit stack only works with non native and coconuts. Native fruit are too low in value to give you anything back

Have you been given wreathes to villagers with wall hanging items in their house? You have to be gifting them wreaths for a little over a month to see if items disappears. None of my cycling villagers have wall hanging items right now so I can't test it.
That I'm not sure. I gifted them to Tasha (had a wall mount TV) every day for a month, and didn't notice her inventory change. They do have a different dialogue when given a wreath as compared to something they can hang inside.

Thank goodness nothing was changed, I am burning through fruit like crazy with the two pet gift requirement. But I just got Lily’s photo with two pieces of fruit today, hooray!

Does anyone know if it was possible before certain updates to get villager photos at a friendship level below 5? I could swear that I once got a photo after only about a week of giving gifts (directly after unlocking the ability to give them gifts), but it is possible that I just was mistaken about how long I had had the villager for.
Is there any reason to believe a stack of 3 pumpkins wouldn't work for getting photos? I've rotated between foreign fruit, iron wall hangers, coconuts, and fossils in the past to keep my villagers mostly original but curious whether I could keep my pumpkin garden going as a steady source of photo-eligible gifts.
Thanks.
Thanks.

You could have done a lot of requests for them and gotten their friendship high within a week if you got lucky and got a lot of requests from the same villagers. When the wrapped bells trick work you could have gotten them within a week theorical and save scum the gift you received back

Pumpkins should be fine. Iron wall hangers aren't a safe gifts for villagers with items hanging on the walls of their homes.

I've frikin' LEFT the forum :D bye!! won't miss ya
hi, i have been trying to get Vivian's, gala's, and Lucy's photo for about a month - 2 months now - no luck yet. I've used the wrapped fruit method in the past and it's worked but for whatever reason these 3 villagers absolutely refuse to give me their photos (frikin jerks.) and i've literally had gala since april 13th. >:C

Is there a difference between having the villagers give you a gift immediately after giving them wrapped fruit or if they mail something with a full inventory?

Yes it still works. You can save scum for the photo if you want it badly enough. I know some people here have done but I never cared enough to try.

If they mailed the return gift, it's a slightly higher chance of it being a photo compared to recieving the gift in person. See main post for the actual numbers.
Hello! I'm not sure if this detail was reported yet, since I can't find it in the first post. But I've been giving Cyd wrapped stacks of two non-native fruit, and he flat out gave me his photo. I didn't have to do the mail-in trick; my inventory wasn't full, and he didn't send me a letter. He gave me his photo on the spot.
So it looks like the fruit trick works no matter how full your inventory is!
If you already elaborated on this detail in the replies or in the main post, please disregard this. Either way, this is news to me!

A wrapped stack with a sell value greater than 750 bells can result in a photo in person since version 1.4.
The fruit stack trick is when you force the villager to send you a gift through the mail with a full inventory. is just a slightly higher chance of getting a photo in return when the villager sends the return gift.
It's too different methods and I realize the naming can be confusing. Unfortunately it's too late for me to really change it without making half of my replies in this thread confusing.
I've tried every method and only 2 of my residents have given me their photos. Ankha gave me hers in the mail the day after her birthday & Flip (who was one of my starters) gave me his after I gave him a random gift I thought he'd like. Ankha actually gave me hers first and she isn't my other starter. Out of the 8 I'm still trying to get 5 of the residents are part of my "original" group of 10. The remaining 3 I've all had for over a month and am able to do all the "best friend" things with. I'm getting so frustrated trying to gets these photos. I feel like I wasted resources making iron wall lamps, wasted fruit, wasted Bells on wrapping paper and have definitely wasted a TON of time.
