that one villager who won't give you their photo

[Stella-Io]

This is ALL OF MY ANIMALS.

Granted I'm not giving them presents of fruit everyday but I have given them gifts they not only like BUT WEAR MULTIPLE TIMES, I talk to them daily, I always do their requests, the good stuff. I feel like I have a more natrural, not forced friendship with my animals, like I genuinely look up gifts they'd like based on their style and fav colours, I don't bard them with coconuts everyday, I even wrap up their gifts in their fav colours (which I read colour doesn't have an impact on Friendship points but oh well). I'm not trying to force my way to get their pic, but they've all been on my island for MONTHS, esp Pierce who was there at the start, and no pic. Another game mechanic that feels like a grind.

I guess the saying applies to digital animals too, the fastest way to an animals heart is throu their stomach

omg. i had one, gala.
i've had gala since april 13th if i'm remembering correctly.
I used the wrapped fruit method for about 2 MONTHS and only recently did I finally get her photo.
Funny thing is, I've had Lucy since late august/early September, and I got her photo a day after I got Gala's.
Now I have all 10.... thankfully...

 

[amyahh]

that was me with cheri & she was my absolute favorite villager ): I eventually gave up but she FINALLY gave me her photo after delivering her a present from another villager which was very surprising lol

Yes this is Phoebe for me, I've had her for 2 months. Even Genji and Melba who moved after her have given me theirs.

Sometimes, I ask myself if I already got his photo and I just couldn't remember. But I always take a screenshot when my villagers give me their photos. I've checked my album and there's none.

I can also search their name in your catalog!

I've been pretty lucky with photos. I believe my home has 12-15 of them. The only thing I gift are wrapped blue rose wreaths. Currently working on Beau and Rory, but Dom and Pashmina are in the process of moving in, so I'll have four villagers to whom I'll gift daily. Thankfully my blue rose count is north of 125.

I checked but photos of villagers are not registered in the catalog, only posters.

oh... there goes my "smart" theory LOL!

 

[Pyoopi]

I switch new villagers in and out like hot potatoes but the bane of my existence was Pecan at one point.

She's long gone now, so it's all good.

Broccolo is holding out on me. I’m ready for him to move on. He even had the moving thought bubble. Villagers that have arrived more recently have given me their photos. But Broccolo is holding out.

While I have all of my villager’s photos now, it took me forever to get Stella’s and Filbert’s! I was not that surprised, since they were both in the second half of my villagers. But my third place winner was Wendy—she’s my starter peppy!

 

[Dunquixote]

I think Punchy’s took me maybe the longest to get even with a lot of tting. I don’t remember how long it took, but I believe I got pictures from some villagers I had for shorter amount of time first before his or Kiki’s .

Right now I am working on Graham and Judy. I haven’t had Judy for long and Graham I had for a couple weeks maybe now, but I haven’t been tting a lot or giving them fruit every day.

Hazel was among the first 2 villagers I started the game with and was one of the last to give me her picture. She knew she would have to move out once she gave me her picture .

 

[Fenix]

Pietro is the one. It's been a while since he is here and there is no way of getting it. I just stopped trying at some point.

 

[Che5hire Cat]

Actually, no one of my villagers gave me their photo so far, even if I give my best to be nice and gifting them tons of stuff. Now while I'm not directly collecting photos and wouldn't mind if I don't get any at all, I expected however to get at least one photo as a respond for my efforts already. I guess the friendship levels are still too low, who knows, I will just continue and see if I get any at the end.

You can check on Harv's island. I actually had a similar situation with Molly. Colton, Reneigh, and Sly all came after her while I had all their photos but not her's. I got curious if I sold it on accident. I checked the catalogue and realized I couldn't see it there. Sydney got the move out thought bubble, and I threw a little party at Harv's island for her cause I got bummed out a little. When there I realized I could see/put out any photos I had obtained and Molly's was absent.

Today Sydney is in boxes and Molly gave me her picture. I guess she just wanted that security to stay on the island for Halloween.

This.

I've never over-gifted villagers just to get their photo...I don't like the idea of having to buy their friendship, so I let mine happen naturally through casual conversation, gift giving and occasional running of errands.

Teddy finally gave me his picture about 2 weeks ago. I've had him since March lol
So for anyone else wanting to go this route, be prepared for a long haul.

 

[Rosch]

Finally. Puck finally gave me his photo.

I will be shuffling villagers again after Halloween and sadly, while I love Puck, he didn't have the same attachment I have with some of my villagers. But alas, my search for my permanent villagers continues.

WOLFGANG- This boi literally refuses to give me his photo. I'm pretty sure our friendship is super high now. I have given him so many gifts and done his favours for him.

I am kind of just laying off for a bit and seeing if he will give it too me when i'm not trying.

 

[hakutaku]

LUCKY!! I've had this boy for months now and gift him wrapped fruits daily, yet Kabuki, Audie, and Tangy all gave me their photos before him despite me obtaining them after I got Lucky.
