My villagers dont request any projects???

[natalie]

I want a cafe or police station or something better than a streetlamp and a yellow bench! I know they ask at random, but is there anything I need to do first before they start requesting better things?

To get the cafe, you first need to donate 20 items to the museum. At least one of each four categories: art, fossils, insects/bugs, and fish. After 7 to 14 days, Blathers will have a "..." cloud emotion. He will ask you for the museum renovation PWP, the second floor.

You will then need to donate a total of 50 items to the museum, you can leave one artwork and the rest are fossils, bugs, and fish. After that, you need to wait 7 days after the second floor is built. Blathers will have a "..." cloud emotion again, this time, he ask you for the cafe PWP. Hope this helps to get the cafe.

Try the wetsuit trick.

Empty your pockets, and fill them up with seashells, this makes it go faster, the go in the water for 5 minutes in your wetsuit. A timer really helps with this. When your five minutes is up, go run past your villagers and you should get a ping. Rinse and repeat.

I've gotten tons of PWPS the past couple days, this trick works really well but I find it HAS to be five minutes.

This seems very interesting. Will try this with my cranky to see if I can finally get the PWPs I've been searching for! holy sacred zen bridge.

By the way, does it only works with seashells or the pockets can be filled up with anything?

Okay, you've convinced me. I'm straight up desperate for the Zen Garden, Zen Lamp, Hot Springs and Light up Tree PWPs, after nearly a year of playing. Here I go.

You can use flowers too,anything that your villagers can't buy will work.

While this method does help you aren't guaranteed to get PWP requests,it just lowers down the amount of things your villagers are able to ping you for.

This works too, but if you don't want to run looking for any of your villagers, just dig up holes around them so they can stay put.
I use this template to make them stay:

x - hole
o - open space

o x x o
x o o x
o x x o -This template is for one villager

or

o x o
x o x
o x o

You cannot interact, but you can hit them when you are 1 space away. You can interact with them when you are in one of the corners. If you want to put more than one villager, I would increase the size of the template, but it is a bad idea since the villagers will interact with each other.

doesnt the timer count as a buyable item tho?

The timer is a tool item,villagers can't ask to buy tool items from you.

Also you don't have to wait 5 minutes it can be longer but 5 is the minimum.I've gotten PWP pings from being in the water for from 10 to 20 minutes.No matter how long you wait it's still completely random and it may take some people longer than others to get PWP pings if you get any at all.So really you just have to get lucky.
