Resetting trick for PWP's?

[trenchdragon]

I've seen people talk about this resetting trick where you just save and quit and then reload the game, and a villager should ping you. Apparently there's a higher chance of a PWP this way, but I'm not sure. It seems like it saves a lot more time than the diving/idling trick too.

Does this trick work? Have you tried using it?

I've never tried it, so I can't confirm any of this. But the wetsuit trick is quite effective though.

I very much agree that the wetsuit trick is effective from my experience. I obtained my desired PWPs through that trick. Luckily I've obtained all the PWPs I want! Good luck! ^_^

It is, but it's tedious and doesn't always guarantee a PWP.

It was really effective for me too. It only gets tedious when you're trying to get a certain villager...or PWP. What I would do is just dive in, then put my game down for 5 minutes...do something else, then come back, get out and walk around. You don't have to be literally swimming around the whole time.

the diving trick is very tedious for me bc 9/10 times I dont get a pwp ping- with my pockets filled with 100 bells and no bells in my actual wallet, fyi.

idk if the save and quit trick works, but ir seems like it wouldm the point of the 5 min diving in the diving trick is to reset villagers dialog, and saving and quitting does essentially the same thing.

Interesting... well, I think I won't waste my time and I'll stick to the diving trick. It's been working for me, and since this town is new, there's no specific kind of PWP I'm looking for anyway.

I've been trying it all day cause I've nothing else to do (And I'm holding someone's villagers). I've only ever gotten pinged for catchphrases, villager conversations, etc. Basically, everything that's not a PWP.

Your save file is only at risk if you turn off the game while its saving. Simply turning the game off isn't risking anything other than a possible Resetti lecture.

What is the diving trick?

First, you will need to get yourself a wet suit. These can be obtained from the Island at random times.
Secondly, you must get yourself a Timer. This isn't necessary but it helps a lot. The Timer can be bought from a Nooking store that is T&T Mart or higher.
Set the Timer to 5 minutes, and jump into the water. Swim as far out as you can, and wait until the timer stops. After that, go back to shore and find a villager. If done correctly, they should ping you.
Remember that the ping might not always be a PWP. Sometimes it's something like "I need a new catchphrase" or "I need a new greeting" or something similar to that.
The PWP projects given depend on the villager personality. Let's say you want the Bus Stop. The Bus Stop can be requested by Uchi villagers, like Katt, Cherry, Pashmina, etc.
The Police Station can happen on any village. My first town got it from Carmen, a Peppy villager. My new town got it from Rodney, a Smug villager.
It can be a bit annoying but it's worth it for some cool PWPs.

Yeah. My explanations don't really make sense, so I just copied and pasted this.
