Villagers send paintings in the mail?

[Trevorjs97]

I've seen several players on reddit showing that a neighbor sent them a painting is there a way to make this happen? So far I don't think any of my villagers have sent me anything despite my friendship with them being very high.

Raymond sent me a fake statue. It was valiant statue and I actually like it so I didn't mind.

 

[Believe]

the chances probably increase the more times you've had redd visit

Sherb mailed me a painting but it was fake. Had to trash it away

I mean if we can't sell the fakes to the Nook's, I guess the villagers have to figure out some way to get rid of it when Redd scams them Fang sent me a Beautiful Statue.... It was fake :v

So do i have to send them letters with gifts attached multiple times before they send me gifts back? I always get letters without presents

I got a fake statue of David from my Beau after Redd's first visit. It greets visitors as they exit my airport.

Billy sent me a genuine Informative Statue after a day or two of Redd's visit. I was like "where did you get that lol"

I thought it was a Smug villager thing, but it sounds like all the villagers do this from the other replies in this thread! Marshal sent me a fake Robust statue, but it's still pretty cool and I have it by my museum, lol.

Zucker mailed a real Valiant statue to me the day after Redd visited.

Beau gave me a genuine rock head statue via mail. I was so convinced that it couldn't be real so I had Blathers assess it, but surprise, it really was genuine so it's now displayed in my museum lol

Filbert sent me a fake statue of david which I love and it's going to be the centerpiece of my library. And Poncho sent me a real painting! I think it was one half of the wild painting?

Eugene sent me a fake Gallant Statue and it was hilarious.

Al mailed me a fake gallant statue. I don't know what to do with it now. I purposely tried to give it to Blathers just so I got the fake out Nook thing.

i’m not certain but maybe it has something to do with your friendship level? i had dobie send me a great statue the other day and my friendship with him is pretty good ;u;

Antonio mailed me a quaint painting this morning. I took it to Blathers and it was the real deal!

I received a genuine statue from Julian. Julian also has maxed out friendship, not sure if that affects it.

 

[Believe]

Funny enough the day I read this thread, Fang sent me a genuine informative statue lol

 

[jokk]

i got a real painting from a villager! i didn't know this could happen until i received it

I've only had Redd visit once other than his original visit, and Sterling sent me a fake statue in the mail. Cool statue though! I put it out in my town

For those wondering, I don't think I have max friendship with him. I talk to him maybe twice a day and I don't think I've done/had any quests from him
