Wendy has sold almost all of her furniture at Re-Tail and her house is absolutely trashed right now does anyone know how I can at least kind of fix this?
As you can see in the screenshot, the state of her house is really bad. I have stopped the issue from becoming any worse by taking up every flea market spot with red roses prices at 999,999 bells apiece.
yeah.. i've stopped it from becoming worse (overpriced items at re-tail) but i'm not sure if it can be done. the shirt is there now, and that's especially a concern. i wish i would have paid attention to this being an issue; wendy was one of my original villagers, and back then, i hardly new anything about animal crossing.
My Pompom's house was worse than your Wendy's house(must be a peppy thing).I managed to get it decent looking by stocking up on lovely and minimalist/white furniture and every time she would ask for furniture that's what I'd give her.I also bought any ugly,non-matching furniture she had when she would invite me over for a visit then immediately send her something from from my lovely-minimalist stockpile.Her current interior(as seen above)isn't great but it's 100% better than before.
I'm also in the process of renovating Beau's house.I've been giving him cabin series furniture and it's coming along slowly but surely.
I'm pretty sure you can gift her one of her original items, then reset in order to get it in the right place. It'll be incredibly tedious but I think it can be done. You'll have to decide whether it's worth it.
I'm still trying to get Norma to replace her fridges and air conditioner, but no matter what I send her, or give her when she asks for furniture, she never changes a thing.
You just have to wait for them to ask you to replace a specific piece.
Until then, send her items the same size and function of what you want to replace in her house.
So I've had a few people ask me how I managed to decorate my villagers' houses like these:
Marina:
Beau:
Flurry:
Rudy:
so here's a guide that hopefully?? will help!
1) First, stop running errands for your villagers. Don't accept any requests for bugs/fish, and when one villager wants you to deliver a gift to another villager, either decline, or accept and don't deliver the present.
2) Put up junk (or in my case art) in all the slots in retail. This will prevent your villagers from trying to pawn off their furniture!
3) Ok so now that you should have prevented them from selling their own furniture and receiving new furniture, identify the items you want to switch up. It's easiest if the villager has a lot of different sized items, since they'll only replace, i.e. a 2x2 item (such as a bed) with another one of the same size. Send the item you want them to replace it with in the mail; I don't think the length of the letter matters much, mine were usually just "Hi" lol.
However, from my experience they'll only replace one item you send them a day. If you want them to replace, for example, 4 different items, and you send them 4 different items in the mail, they won't put them all up in their house!! Instead, you could send them different items on alternate characters to try and get them to replace more than one a day. Try and send them different sized items if you're going to send them using different characters, i.e. send a 2x2 item on character, a 1x2 item on another, etc.
4) Try to replace as many items as you can using step 2. This might take a couple days, so you'll either have to TT or be patient. I find that after a while, there's some items they just refuse to replace, so now it's time for, in my opinion, the hardest step, which is to get yourself invited over to their house as much as possible. This basically just takes luck and time... When you're at their house, keep talking to them until they ask you if there's something that catches your eye. Then buy the thing you want out of their house!
After you bought something from their house, if you send them something the same size the same day in the mail I find that 95% of the time they'll put the item in the spot where the item you bought used to be.
and then just rinse and repeat!
I find it easiest to focus on redecorating one villager's house at a time, and if you want to be really hardcore you could try and get yourself invited over everyday on 4 different characters to buy out the villagers' furniture that you want replaced.
also, since you can't buy furniture that have things on them, and you can't buy things on top of other furniture, I suggest you try and replace those first via presents in letters.
there's a few items that villagers simply refuse to sell; I'm not sure if it's possible to completely replace all the furniture in a villager's house, so keep that in mind.
A special thank you to everyone who gave me advice!! I managed to get extremely lucky while sending items to Wendy, and now her house is almost like how it was originally!
