This is very helpful! Thank you for sharing.

I just got my first suggestion since December using this trick *o* Thank you!

I get so tired of trying this as it seems I always get asked for a catchphrase or a nickname. I got back to the water and get another catchprase or nickname request. Rinse, Repeat. I haven't had a PWP request in ages. I however, had not tried trapping a villager with holes, so that will be my next attempt. Thanks for the guide.

You don't actually have to go swimming. You can just hang around the beach/dock, away from villagers -- the point is, they can't SEE you. You can't be in your house, and you can't be on main street, because for some reason those don't work. So, as long as you stay out of sight down on the beach for five minutes, all you have to do is go up and run around for a ping. Also, make sure you don't get locked out of pings with the one hour "STOP PLAYING YOULL RUIN YOUR EYES" crap by talking to someone once or so then running back down.

I've been far too lazy to try this method, but I really need to. I've gotten maybe 2 PWPs since... God, who knows. An inexcusable amount of time.

But thank you, I didn't know moneybags and unassessed fossils worked too <3333 That's great news~

As neat as this method is, it doesn't really work that well.

It worked for the first 3 days, but after that it never did again. I could wonder around town as much as I want after swimming out, and no one will even try to ping me. It doesn't matter if I've talked to them recently, doesn't matter the time of day, and doesn't matter if I'm really good friends. It was cool for the first few days, but I generally find the best method is just to TT in the mornings and I generally get PWP pings.

And yeah I actually spent an hour straight without getting a single ping via this method... swimming out, coming back onto the beach, , staying in my house away from everyone, hiding on main street, just hiding anywhere etc, no pings, so I gave up. :3 I think I tried it for about 6 more days after it quit working and I was SOL.

ahh this is so great I was just thinking how wonderful it'd be to get one of those weather instruments but nobody will request it!

1. this thread is old.
2. This method is the only method i know of to get PwPs fastER. It's a slow and not very efficient method but tbh it's the only way I've ever gotten requests. It'll probably drive you insane trying to do it but you should get on eventually.

Also, it's a good idea to do this trick EVERY DAY because that increases your chances of getting a PwP. Ex: I want the wisteria trellis from Pashmina. She pings me and asks for a catchphrase. Later, she pings again and asks for a greeting.

The next day, she wont ask for a catchphrase or greeting because she just did that yesterday, so that narrows down your chances to either a stupid question or a PwP request.

Thank you for this guide! It was really helpful and cleared up a lot of confusion I had on this issue but now it all makes sense

It's too bad about the 1 pwp a day thing tho =/

 

[Autumnia]

found this today and I'm so so happy! thank you I am currently trying it and will continue doing so until I get a pwp suggestion.

 

[MayorAlex]

Can you get more than one pwp suggested in a day?

Answered already, nvm!>\\<

 

[Kennedy-kins]

I'm using Tammy as a temporary b/c I like Uchi PWPs, but she never requests anything! I will be using this everyday!

I kept doing this today to Hamlet, but he will just NOT suggest the instrument shelter!

This is a great post.I have been doing exactly this and it does work.I have three games and have been playing for over a year.Another thing I find that helps, is to try to get the same villager to ping you when you return from the sea.This can help get a request faster.

Tip! Find all your villagers, and dig holes all around them so they don't go anywhere. Then, if there is a certain villager you want to request a PWP, you will know where the others are and won't accidentally run into them and waste your "ping."

this is really old guide though, it's from 2013 when the game was still new...

i've been using this with octavian and have been having the hardest time getting him to request the wooden bridge, he keeps asking me if i like spaghetti or mac & cheese, it's so annoying

You've confused Snoozit by bumping this old thread, lol.

My first PWP suggested in MONTHS in game thanks to this guide - finally!
Too bad it was just a yield sign >:'3

 

[StarUrchin]

My villagers usually just talk about stuff and not about pwps, ctachphrases, and nicknames ._.
