Does anyone have any tricks or tips on how to get your villagers to request public work projects. I have tried the whole go swimming for five minutes and someone will ping you thing. Which works, but they never ask for public work projects. Do I need to talk to the more? Or is it just to random. I feel like rarely ask me. I?ve had the game for years and I still don?t have them all requested.

Yeahhh I'm in the same boat as you. The only solution I have is the diving trick. What I tend to do is to just go around to everyone, even if I'm trying to get one specific public works project (I really want the wooden bridge
!), have them ping me, then try again. Also, make sure you talk to them if it's been about an hour, because they'll talk about how you look tired and whatnot, and when you're in that state, no one will ping you. I mean, you probably already know this, but I thought I would share anyway just in case.If anyone does have any other good method of getting public works projects, I reaaaally need to know it because I'm dying for that bridge!!
I’ve never had to use the diving trick and I’ve got nearly all the pwps minus the Uchi ones, as I don’t have a uchi villager.
I think the best advice is to play a lot. I do trades throughout the day, so I have my game up a lot of the time—-villagers who live near my house ping me pretty quickly for pwps.
You can alternatively just reload over and over until the person you want pings you for a pwp. Again, if villagers live near your home, this is really easy. They usually ping me in general, not always for pwps, as soon as I load into the game.
If you want to stick with the diving trick, remember to have 0 money (so they don’t make you purchase something), and your inventory full of flowers (so they can’t request one of your items). They’ll only ping for pwps, errands, and random personality specific games (the normals making you play a quiz).

I've found that the best way to get pwps is to be good friends with your villagers. I get reccomended pwps by the villagers I'm closest to all the time- the diving trick was tedious, and never worked for me.
Definitely the diving trick.. Has helped me get more than a few requests!
It can still take a long while though before anyone requests anything.. I usually do this while I'm watching something else so I don't get all impatient while being stung by jellyfish

I’ve been doing the diving trick the past few days and getting a pwp request everyday! Usually I just transfer all my tools, items, and money to my letters so my inventory is completely empty and they won’t ask for other favours. I’ve heard of people trapping certain villagers by digging holes around them too so it’s easier to find them and get pinged. (Also controls which villager type pings you if you’re after a specific pwp) I don’t do this tho bc it seems tedious so I just run around till I find someone haha
Thank you for answering everyone.
I do make sure my inventory/money is empty. But when I do the diving trick, they always just ask me things like changing their catchphrase or getting signatures from other towns. It's so annoying. Maybe I will just try to play more and become better friend. I just don't play as much now because I have gotten pretty far into the game.

The diving trick is the best way to do it for me, and it also really helps to have good friendships with your villagers. I find the higher the friendship is with a villager, the more they will likely ping and ping for a pwp. In my mom's three towns, her villagers are always pinging her constantly and she has all of their pictures, which proves great friendship with the villagers.
