What happens when...

[radioloves]

What happens when you send shirts to villagers through the mail? Do they end up putting it in their house and replacing their furniture? I haven't sent any clothing items yet~ I just got most of my villagers houses themed and all-scared it might ruin my master piece! xD

Thanks!

They may put it in their homes. They also may wear it.

I agree but when I send them shirts, they either put it in their homes and then it goes MIA or when I give it to them they probably just say I don't like it and sell it to Reese, because I never see it on them or in their house. and not once have I seen a villager of mine put on a shirt I requested, NOT ONCE

They also may wear it and display the old one in their house.
-talking with experience-
But if you're lucky enough they'll just wear it and won't display neither the new nor the old one in their home.
I would recommend to save before and then try to check their house right after they wear the shirt.
In case they display it, reset -.-
Or, in the next visit to their house, buy the displayed shirt and send them the item you want there again.

If they stick it in their house it'll take the place of a furniture item that also takes only one square. If I really want someone to wear a certain shirt I TT *back* in time to their last birthday and give it to them as a present. I quit without saving until they put it on right then and there. They still may or may not display the one they were wearing in their house but at least you don't completely destroy their house sending them ten shirts til they change. =)

I've had a lot of trouble with sending my villagers furniture I'd like them to have. They seem to display it in awful places or they're constantly trying to sell it to me. Then if I don't buy it, they will come back at some point and literally give it me for free, even if I say I don't want it.
Anyway, I've noticed mostly that if it's a shirt from their list of preferred gifts (on thonky) they tend to wear it. They are guarenteed to wear it if you send 5 of the same shirts.
But yes, the others they don't wear they seem to place in their house to replace a piece of furniture. I've had all mine do that at some point

they would display it in their house or wear it. but in my experience, my villagers always display the clothes i send the in their damn houses and it ruins the theme of their houses.

if you're lucky they will wear it, if you're not they will put it in their homes smh. i remember when i tried to make my villagers wear cute clothes and i ended up either being given the clothes i sent them or having to buy them from their houses ):<

 

[mermaidshelf]

It's pretty common for them to put it up in their homes. That's why I like to "dress" my villagers first by sending the clothing I want them to wear, then send furniture items I want them to put up in their houses. Hopefully they replace the shirts but if they don't, you can always wait for them to invite you over and ask to buy it.

Thank you everyone!~

Imo, I think the easiest way to make your villagers wear cute clothes without possibly ruining their houses is to fill up all of the clothing displays in the Able Sisters. I'm pretty sure almost all of my villagers are wearing my designs now. I didn't do anything fancy, just a bunch of random/neutral gradients, but I like it anyways.
