How to get villagers to conversate more?

[AidenTheGamer]

I'd like to know how to make villagers face each other and have conversations more often or when I feel like having two villagers conversate.

I also feel like it doesn't happen enough in my village, but I think it's random. Once, I trapped a bunch of them together by shoveling holes around the bridge they were on, and they had a couple conversations because they were stuck together.

by playing wild world

they talk to each other like crazy in that game, even without you doing anything

Having personalities that like each other. My snooties like each other and crankies.

Push them together and play more around your villagers

there's not really anything you can do. they'll talk if they are walking close to each other, and villagers usually walk around their houses (in a certain area of their house at least, i rarely see my villagers who live in the north of my town by the south of my town and vice versa)

so having your villagers living close-ish to each other makes them more likely to walk around in the same places, which makes them more likely to talk to each other :0

I agree with the advice and suggestions above. Wild World had *so much* more villager-to-villager conversation it's ridiculous. New Leaf seems to have gone the other way and it takes more effort or luck to get them talking to each other.

I push/nudge them at each other alot, especially around or on bridges as those are natural bottlenecks. My character's houses are all close together and a lot of villagers have their houses in the midst of all that (through absolutely no intention of mine, I focused purely on practicality of beach access and easy paths to Re-Tail et al). Neighbours are the last of my concerns, I'm not much for them personally, though the game would be dull without them. The best conversations are those I join in between my villagers, so those are one thing I always look out for!

I find that running more errands, talking to them, and fulfilling requests tends to increase their interactions significantly. This maybe just my imagining things, but when I've spent days running around doing my own thing and ignoring them, I really don't see them converse much at all even after I slow down and start talking to them again.. it takes a while to build that .. level? ... back up again to the point where I'm seeing multiple chats between different villagers every time I play.

Hope this helps a bit. Good luck

I must be quite lucky in my town, I'm always catching the villagers having conversations. But I did place the houses quite close together. Fauna and Whitney are right by the bridge so I'm always catching them chatting. 4 of the other houses are placed near the plaza so they all tend to congregate in that area by the tree too

My town has many bushes and paths
So my villagers are always more likely to stay
On my path because the bushes keep them from walking outside it
, and it actually gets kinda cramped, I find many many times like 5 of my
villagers and different ones each time will All be in this area and they will just talk all day there.
They allways hang out up and down this path like its their chill spot and i talk to them everytime i see them talk. I think its just a matter of how close they get they will randomly talk. I dont even interact with any but my dreamies or run errands Cuz im so busy, so it doesnt seem like it matters how much of that you do. But it might help and its always good anyways.

In my old town I did the wet suit trick a lot to force PWP requests. And I've noticed every single time I got out of the water, not only did I get pinged every time, but there was also a villager-to-villager conversation every time, too. Keep in mind, most of my villagers lived extremely close together, which is why at least 5 were always bunched up on screen at the same time. So I'm sure that helped a lot, too.

i actually find my villagers tend to congregate and talk while im doing the diving trick for pwps. almost every time, when walking around looking for a villager after being in the water, i see 2 talking. try it out!

I preferred how in wild world the animals would talk more to eachother because it made things look more realistic imo.

I've listened in on a lot of conversations. It usually after I've done the tasks for them and work on the flowers/bug or fish collecting.
They try to get my attention with the noise. Some days I'll get 4 to 6 conversations with villagers. Other days it's sit on the bench day. Those usually happen the day after a big event.

I personally like to push them on the bridge and trap them together by digging a hole on each end of the bridge until somebody conversates with one another.
