Tips to unlock/have Public Works suggested more often?

[D i a]

I've only had a few requests so far (none of them appealing), hoping I'll get a police station soon...
This is exactly why I came here today, too. To see if anyone knew anything about this. xD

I've built... around 10 community projects if you include the campsite and bridges (but not including cafe, dream mansion, etc) and I've only gotten 2 suggestions from neighbors, ever! I'm going insane!! @_@

I've only been asked to build an instrument shelter

 

[Rue]

I have built 3 public works so far, and it seems to me that every time I complete a project I get a suggestion. I finished paying off my Park Lamp this morning.

Today Sylvia suggested a Windmill!

 

[Bambi]

I still haven't been asked to build anything

 

[LemyLekySama]

I've built about 6 crazy public works my villagers suggested. But none of them have suggested the Police Station, which is what I really want, now!

 

[Nooblord]

The police station was the first project requested.
Not sure of the order of the other projects that were requested, but there was a drinking fountain, illuminated heart, flower bed, wind turbine, and something else but I don't remember.
I think Chevere was about to request something, but I was listening into a conversation two of my villagers were having and by the time they finished Chevere walked away >n<

I dunno why, but I put up a stone tablet today, after my campsite and cobblestone bridge...

Day 11 and not a single villager request!

Sparro requested an "instrument shed." Has anyone seen this project? I don't recall seeing it on any of the AC blogs I follow.

EDIT: Ohhh, instrument shelter! The weather dealie. Nevermind.

 

[whereiskellie]

i've gotten requests for

yield sign
garbage can
lighthouse
police station
and some sign thing i wont be getting


I find that every time i complete a project, someone asks for a new one.

I've had three or four suggested to me. I was happy one was the Zen Bench (will replace with the fairy-tale bench whenever that happens). I've just wandered around a lot and I always make sure to walk in front of my villagers often.

 

[Princess]

I've gotten no requests

Except for the dream suite, but don't think that counts.

That's what I do, but today all my villagers jsut wanted to call me muffin. I just say yes because in the case of Gaston, he just kept asking me until I finally said yes. Silly Gaston. Luckily, after today, I believe all my neighbors are now calling me muffin, so I should have a better chance of getting requests.

Well it's definately not time, I've had the game for more than 20 animal crossing weeks, (yeah, I time travelled). I talk to my neighbors occasionally but get no requests for new Public Works Projects . .

Should start interacting more with the villagers I guess . .

 

[Olivitess]

Its seems that every time I have sat down in the mayors chair without building anything a villager soon comes up to me within the hour. Could be pure coincidence though!

random is random

I talk to my villagers 24/7, all 10 of them and have only had 3 requests (including the police station) so i really dont think there is anything you can do

 

[Marceline]

I usually just hang around town until someone is 'surprised' to see me.

I've had the game since day one and only have museum second floor, dream suite and reset center unlocked. Only reset center is unbuilt because I'm trying to think of a place for it. Other than that, I just have the defaults. I've had to resort to using the default projects to stand in for those I want to build.

Supposedly the trick is to go swim for a few minutes and then go about until you see an exclamation point above a villager's head.

Three requests is way more than the zero I've gotten and I've had the game since day one. -_-
