Tips to unlock/have Public Works suggested more often?

I think it might be helpful if you didn't already have a public works project in the process of being built!
 
I don't know how true this is- but I've tried it, and it has worked for me every time except 1 or 2. By worked, I mean it has caused my villagers to get the exclamation and run to talk to me. I haven't had public works requested due to this.. YET)

Put on the wet suit and go into the water. Purposely get stung by a jellyfish, and swim around for a few minutes, staying out of site from your villagers and diving for deep sea creatures. Then slowly approach each villager from the angle they are facing. Usually at least 1 of them will say *something*.

I have no idea why that works but eh.

I have had three requests so far:
1) Yield sign
2) Caution sign
3) Traffic signal

WHY VILLAGERS? WHY DO YOU WANT THESE AWFUL THINGS?

PLEASE REQUEST A FAIRY TALE BRIDGE INSTEAD OR A POLICE STATION OR INSTRUMENT CENTER OR SOMETHING GOOD

I am also quite anxious to do the train station remodel, unlocking that will take forever :(

Also, does anyone know if there is a limit you can have in your "request queue" at one time?
 
Olaf requested the Police Station the day before he moved out. Otherwise, I got the caution sign and yield sign -.- All I want is a hot spring!!
 
Those conversations tend to be trigged when you're outside, but far enough away for the villager to be unloaded. So I guess swimming far away from the town would do the trick.

Anyway, I can confirm that it does trigger a conversation, without fail. But not necessarily a request. Even so, it's an incredibly useful trick to know. I'm guessing you can only have three villager requests at a time, since they're not giving me anymore :(
 
Good news. I finally got my first request. It was a statue fountain from Diana. Not only that, but goes with the feel for the village.
 
Hmmm I think you just need to be really friendly with your villagers. I get one to two requests a day now. None that I want so far though T_T
 
I've only had a request from Mira to build a caution sign and one from Curt requesting a stone tablet, and just opened the dream suite the other day... Now working on the 2nd floor of the museum.
 
I have unlocked
- The Dark Cube
- The Pyramid
- Wisteria Trellis
- Flower Arch
- Yield Sign
- Zen Streetlight
- Drinking Fountain

Beardo also suggested the Pyramid (if I remember correctly)
Paula suggested the Trellis
Deena suggested the Flower Arch
Walt suggested the Yield sign
Walt suggested the Zen Streetlight
Deena suggested the Drinking Fountain
Walt suggested the Wind Turbine
Peck suggested the Solar Panel

I've only had 2 requests, and Bam asked for both. A police station and a bonfire. I don't really want to build either at the moment. Do you HAVE to build the ones they've requested to get them to ask about new ones?
 
I want to know what Swimmergirl asked. Can you get 1+ requests a day? Is there a limit? :X

Also, Coco just requested a wind turbine. I decided to build it, because I found a really cool spot for it by the cliff.

IT WORKED O.O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a caution sign but at least it's something new, dude thanks!
 
No problem, I am glad it worked out for you! I have yet to do this today, but Coco suggested a wind turbine anyway. :D
 
I have unlocked
-Wisteria Trellis
-yeild sign or some type of sign
-and I think they requested one of the bridges
 
Sorry if this was mentioned already but has anyone gotten 2 requests in one day before? I want to know if it's possible. x.x
 
So far all I've had suggested is a zen bell. I have Gruff (Cranky) so I'm really hoping he suggests the Japanese style bridge. He was the one who suggested the bell
 
I've gotten:

-Modern Bench
-Pyramid
-Reset Center (doesn't count as a villager suggested project, though)
-Police Station (yeah, I was pretty happy about this)

For those wondering, the Police Station isn't much. Booker/Cooper perform the same functions that they did in previous installments (save for Wi-Fi, of course) - lost & found and telling you about special visitors.
