Certain villagers not requesting pwps

[hemming1996]

Only fang, beau and marshal have ever requested pwps. The rest suggest catchphrases or just randomly talk about stuff (never try and sell me stuff though)

What am I doing wrong? There are a lot of pwps I can't get because villager types won't request them

Some people have suggested high friendship can affect it, and I tend to concur--Snake only ever requested a PWP after I actually bothered to befriend him. This may just be coincidence.

It's really honestly just luck, though, as far as who actually requests things.

How do I befriend them? That's weird since I all talk to them like once every 2 days. Never set a letter or done anything for them :/

Letters and favours would turn the trick, I think, since those are how friendship gets significantly raised.

it is definitely random as to which villagers will suggest. I've gotten many suggestions from Tex and Clay/Egbert, while getting very few from Alice, a starting villager. I'm pretty sure friendship does in fact affect it, but it's still pretty random.

I think I read somewhere that certain types of villagers are more prone to requesting PWP's as well.
