Pls help why are they all doing this

[sunkyung]

It started out innocently enough...I sold Punchy my green zap suit. I don't like disappointing him, and it looked cute on him. It quickly spread to Whitney, Chief, Marshal, Julian, and Merengue. So now 6/10 villagers are wearing it. Rudy is in the awful duck shirt, Zucker is in an unfortunate gray tank that Marina gave him and Bam and Deirdre are in blue and green sno-cone tees. (Or whatever they are called?)

I've tried mailing the majority of them their shirts, twice. I send 2 of the same shirt to them in hopes they'll change but they end up displaying one and then probably throwing the other one is garbage can along with my feelings. Does anyone know of another way to get them to change their shirts other than this? I've mailed Julian his shirt 4 times, Whitney 3 times. I've run out of flan tanks for Zucker, and I can't find Punchy's original shirt. Please help me end this epidemic they can't all be the green kamen rider. ;___;

Ugh, I had the same issue with the frog tee. It looked good on Gayle, not so good on Benjamin, Hugh, Klaus, Peggy, and Savannah. It spread FAST too! I literally saw Gayle talk to Klaus and give him the shirt and almost immediately afterwards Klaus gave Hugh the shirt. Peggy, Jay, and Savannah wound up changing their shirts to one of my custom designs at least, and so did Gayle even though she actually looked good in the frog tee.

I watched Whitney give the shirt to Merengue and they both changed and started singing. Sigh. :<

Everyone wants to be superheroes. You should feel fortunate that your town is so well protected.

That aside, there's not much you can do besides keep sending them stuff. I've heard that people have had success sending multiple shirts at a time (like five or so I think? I'm not sure, though). Change all of the Able Sisters' patterns on display to be umbrellas or dresses so that they won't wear that duck shirt or any of those ever again.

Also, do you still need Punchy's shirt? I can give you one. It's the Gray Tartan Tee, right?

Please don't make rape jokes. It's very distasteful and insulting to victims of rape.

sorry

I changed all the designs to umbrellas immediately after I noticed Rudy had changed his. :< I heard sending two at a time should work but I'll try sending more. Haha, it's so frustrating.

It is the gray tartan tee! I haven't come across it yet. :\ If you have one you could order for me, that would be great! (Start at the root of the problem??)

If you go to town hall and talk to Isabelle about "Problematic Villagers" you can select a villager that has "bad" clothing (offensive, rude, swear words..etc) and they'll go back to their original shirt I'm pretty sure..

 

[FireNinja1]

You need to send them the shirt 5 times, not 2.

They don't go back to their original, but rather, some various of a sports tee, and once they do, if you mail them a shirt you want them to wear, they'll be wearing it by the next day.

Nah, they'll change into a default white and red or white and blue shirt. :\

Really? Haha that's so annoying. Thanks for the advice though! Looks like I'll have to wait awhile before I can get more flan tanks though. :<

 

[tinytaylor]

I can't remember if this was new leaf or city folk but I bought a ton of cute shirts and walked around town. I got pings to buy the shirts then. Well it worked for me

I didn't know this! I just have to send it once??

 

[beemayor]

That's what I've always done and it's always worked.

Thanks! I'll give it a try, it can't hurt. :]

Be glad it's not the stupid ducky shirt from Anytown!

Anyways, try to talk to Isabelle, but in my experience, it won't get them to remove a shirt, only a design.

What I do is a suggestion that was posted here months ago... send them 5 of the same shirt. On the same day. 9 times out of 10, it will make them change into that shirt. Now, their homes will have 1 or 2 of the shirts, so if that bothers you, don't do it. But I can get a villager to change into a shirt I want using this trick most of the time.

I find that when I do the wetsuit trick the shirts tend to spread like wildfire, especially when you leave the game idle and you just standing there. They just run around willy nilly and change their shirts and whatnot. It's honestly not preventable, just don't sell them ugly shirts I guess lol

 

[juicyness]

I mail them shirts that I want them to wear. Sometimes it takes 2-3 times mailing the same shirt (and then they usually end up both wearing it AND having a spare in their house, lol) but eventually they will change if you keep sending them clothes.

I can't stand when my villagers put on ugly clothes. It ruins their whole look.

 

[Saphy]

Yep, Colton is the worst culprit for this in my town, he wears the ugliest shirts, refuses to change out of them and then spreads them to other residents!!

 

[MightyMunchlax]

Sounds like your villagers are starting their own Mafia. I know that certain villagers have certain color/style preferences which might affect what they choose to wear. I had the moldy shirt spread to like 3 of my villagers once cause Caroline got it from someone. And it was sad cause I delivered it to her and she got really excited and loved it and I sat there cringing like dear Arceus, why? Though tbh I sent one to Freckles cause I hate her. She put it right on. >
