I feel like a monster - I'm not a fan of the jock type villager so when Samson asked if he should leave I smiled and waved bye without a second thought. A few days later I checked my mail and it turns out the gift he'd tried to give me (my bag was full at the time) was his photo. It's now on my wall and I feel awful every day.
that's what im probably going to be doing... so like this: Pierce: Hi hawkeye, you're mah best friend, here my picture me: thanks, now i am going to wait until you wanna leave so i can get more pictures of villagers that i don't have a picture of
Jessica Everard they stomp around, have steam coming off their head, and look angry when mad, and have a purple swirl over their head and move around slowly when they are sad.
It really sucks that the best way to up villager friendship is to give them furniture, considering I love my favourite villagers house and don’t want to ruin it too much
Elizabeth Post give them walldecorations! They wont show up in their houses. I always make the hanging terrarium, since it sells for 2500 at nooks. If you give a selfmade diy of 2500, they will always give you a present back. It will also give you the most friendship points (with wrapping paper)
Tbh, I only give furniture if it goes well with their home design. For example, I give Rosie Pink stuff. She likes the items, and it looks nice in her house.
If you don't want your villagers to replace their furniture, you can always send wall/door items. My gift of choice is the crest doorplate because it only costs 4 iron per villager and sells for roughly 3000 bells.
@@chickenwing5720 They will display it on the door. If that's an issue probably give a wall-mounted item like an iron wall lamp or a hanging terrarium. Villagers don't seem to display wall items.
I know receiving the photos as gifts is the subject here, but I just want to say the funniest thing to me is walking into Ed's house and seeing a framed pic of himself on his fireplace. Like he's his own best friend
You can Investigate lost items in your inventory. There are clues to who it belongs to if you know your animals well. If it just says "somebody lost this" then it belongs to your newest or lowest friendship level animal.
I don't think this is accurate, I find like 3 to 5 items a week and it almost always belongs to Beau, who is probably the highest friendship as he was the first to let me change his catchphrase and greeting. When it doesn't belong to him it belongs to pretty random villagers. I assumed Beau gets the most lost items cause of his personality. And to my knowledge, it always says someone lost an item.
demonheart13 how weird, Beau never loses items in my Island and I consider him one of my good friendships too! Graham and Tipper( I want them to leave) are always losing items though
It's pretty much the same for real life friendships. Talk to people and give them presents to make them like you more, wack them with a net repeatedly to make them hate you.
I get that villager pictures are super important and signify that you have formed a strong connection with one of your villagers, but how weird would it be if you made best friends with someone and they gave you a framed picture of themself? Maybe people do do this, but I don't have any friends, so I wouldn't know.
I think its sort of like how you might give your school photos to family members? I remember when i was younger seeing friends give their school photos to each other so they could decorate their locker.
@@hannahx211 keep talking to them 7-8 times a day and you should get favors. They might be thinking of something or run up to you to ask for favors sometimes. Don't talk to them too much or they might get worried about something and will take longer to get their photos
i really wish they changed the way villagers left in the sense that the villager you have the lowest friendship w/ are more likely to leave, kinda feels like they didn't even care abt the personalities of the villagers this time around ;/
Henry Wachs yeah like Marshal is my bestfriend in this game he should be a bit "locked" to leave? Because who leaves town when they have their bestfriend
Lower friendship villagers are more likely to leave. It’s just what’s more important is their friendship levels with other residents. Having multiple best friends really helps lower their chances of being picked, though regardless everyone still has a decent chance of wanting to leave.
ThunderDrummer I don't think this is a thing, and I honestly believe it's entirely random because so far only the ones I interact with the most have asked to leave, and the villagers my cousin ignored stayed over for 2 months+ before asking to leave. XD
This is the type of info that gives us all comfort in knowing there is so much more to this game, and will be continuously playable for years to come! Even for those who time travel. So many seemingly endless goals and achievements and I love it!
Man I used to grind all my villagers hard in New Leaf, not letting them move until I got their picture. I had a basement dedicated to everyone that had come and gone. Cant wait to start up with that again. Not pursuing it actively but I got two pics already. I just keep giving them iron nuggets everyday.
I fell in love with Pierce but I knew I wanted Apollo to replace him eventually regardless. I worked hard to try and earn Pierce's photo as consolation for being the guy who truly got along with everyone and won my heart. He asked to move... and I was ready to take it as a loss. But then I gave him his daily gift, the last I would be able to give him and lo and behold... snagged his photo. The game was kind to me that day. You will be missed, Pierce
It should be noted that the friendship tier bonus points when gifting is only rewarded if you receive an item back (e.g. clothing or furniture). So you can gift items from 250-2499 for a 50% chance of getting this bonus, or guarantee that you get this friendship tier bonus by giving them 2500+ bell items. If you want to track what friendship points you accumulate then you can do so through public projects (bridges and inclines) as the bells donated to these each day by the villagers is equal to the total number of friendship points you've accumulated with everyone.
Just in case anyone doesn't know this, with the lost items there's an option to investigate them so you can better guess who they belong to. it's annoying for me though because I currently have a bunch that are the same personality type so it's a 50/50 if I guess the type right ( Phoebe and Deidre for chi, Marina and Goldie for Normal, Kyle and Lopez for smug, Raddle and Sherb for lazy and then just Dobie for cranky and Blaire for snooty.
omg I'm a dumbass I thought this option meant to like open it and ruin it (like you could when you'd deliver presents for other villagers).... thank you so much lmao
I was just watching your video when I hgave stitches a gift, I then looked down away from the game to watch this and then looked in my inventory to see what, I got in return, it was his photo!
I’ve played since launch and haven’t gotten a picture, but I’m getting requests to change catchphrase, greeting or nickname every now and then. Do I really need to give them gifts every day? Also if I decline to buy when they want to sell me something, will the friendship go down?
I've played daily since release and I have 2 photos. But I don't focus much on my villagers except for Sherb and Beau. The rest of my villagers are villagers I found for my friends or villagers I don't like, so I want to put them in boxes asap. I only just got Beau 2 weeks ago, so I don't have his photo yet.
The Photo is gained randomly through gift exchange as soon as friendship level 5. Gift exchange is what happens when u give them expensive gifts. If somehow you max out your friendship at 255 points you are guaranteed to get the photo. Edit: see below. What I said here was not right.
@@altf4582 I am sorry, what I said before was wrong. Even at max friendship there is only roughly a 10 percent chance to get the framed photo as gift from gift exchange. Keep giving furniture with sales value above 2500 bells to your maxed villagers!
Just to let you all know, villagers can give you there photo more than once. Poppy the squirrel just gave me her photo for the second time. I am a time traveler.
I got Apple's photo first, which I love because she's my favorite! The one thing I find kind of odd is that even though her level was high enough to give me the photo, she's never asked me to do a nickname or greeting. I wish she would do that sometime.
I’m trying so hard to get Marshal to give me his photo, giving him gifts everyday and keep talking to him and I’ve only just got true friends with him. Yet I never talk to Bunnie, but because I’ve been to her birthday party and gave her a gift card she’s now got a nickname for me 😅
Came back here to say I’ve managed to get Raymond’s framed photo instead! He’s my newest villager and whilst time travelling to breed flowers I’ve been giving everyone gifts. Today he randomly gave me his, still want Marshal’s though 😂
Oooooh! I only want to become friends with Marshal because I love him! Hes so loveable but he's so cranky. And I wanna have a good friendship with him.
My thing is, I've been "best friends" with Cookie (who I've had for at least a month) and Reneigh (who was my starter Uchi). And neither of them have given me their photos. But all my other Villagers have. Edit: and Reneigh was the one who hosted my freaking birthday. I just want her picture. ㅠ.ㅠ
I’ve got 6 pictures now (no tt). Give them gifts that can sell for more than 2500 at Nook’s Cranny. Make sure to wrap them. Talk to them a tooooon, multiple times an hour and multiple times a day. Make sure to do favors for them (don’t open the gifts). Easy.
Good to know I'm not doing any harm by talking to Margie like 30 times a day. I love her so much I'm trying to get her photo, these comments and video are so helpful.
Nibbles was my best friend on my island, but she moved away. She said she wanted to be a pop star and needed to move elsewhere to make her dreams come true. It was a hard decision to let her go, but I guess that’s what friendship is all about.
I always give fruits even on their birthdays. Because I don’t want to ruined their interior and their unique clothings. I always refuse any quest they ask me because right now except nicknames can be reset. There is no way to permanently reset their clothings and interior to default.
As someone who has obtained 16 photos during the past week, I would like to point out a potential glitch found in the game. If you are like me and only gift villagers wrapped up 2x2 furnitures in fear of villagers putting random smaller gifts inside their house which in turn destroys their aesthetic permanently. We are in a bit of trouble. One thing I've noticed is that , by the time some of my villagers gave me their photos, the default smaller “table top“ furniture in their house had all vanished. This happened to my Raymond, Merengue and Marina, and I can't quite pinpoint the logic behind it. It looked almost if their house had a breakin, and the robber only stole what they could carry. However all is not lost, I managed to gift back even better small furnitures day after day. Their current interior deco looks better than their default, but one downside is that villagers have the habit of switch up the placement of gifted small furnitures every day. So you might one day walk in to find a laptop on their kitchen counter with its screen facing the wall. That's all, just wanted to share my somewhat unusual experience ;D
I was lucky enough to get my first picture from twiggy. Trying my best to get one from another islander but they make you work for it 😂 another great video
Getting rid of characters is so hard. I had a visitor in the campsite and when he finally asked if he could ask another villager to get out what a shock when I saw my favourite villager was about to move. I talk to him everyday, not too much, give gifts, exchange stuff. I don't understand. Meanwhile there are TWO characters I never talk to and they're here. It's been 1 month and they won't leave. I'm pissed.
@@mrbqkc wow this really has to be dealt with. What's the point of doing anything then? There's plenty of things that could be changed for the best. The game is great but SOOOO tedious and illogical sometimes.
this was very helpful! poppy is my forever favorite villager, and i hope to be best friends level with her soon. i have a new villager, lucky, moving in tomorrow and will be sure to follow these steps
Leonardo the Tiger was the first one and only who gave me his lil' pic and I didn't expect that from him since he's always bore me to death with his workout conversations. I guess I'm kinda love him more. LOL
I got my first villager photo EVER on New Year’s Eve from Julian!!! I started giving my villagers fossils and within a few days received Julian, Twiggy, and Norma’s photos 🥰 I’ve had all of them for a few months. Giving them fossils was really the boost I needed to get those photos though! I totally recommend it. Especially if, like me, you’ve already completed the fossils for the museum. 🦴
I got Poncho's picture the other day, I was so happy! 🥰 He's one of my first villagers in New Horizons, and one of my faves since he was also my first villager in Wild World. Oh, and I also got Candi's picture shortly after and I hate her, so... 😂
Friendship! Also, Bob is my best friend. I've had him in every village or town I've made since the first game on the Gamecube so he's a little extra special to me.
I haven't been seeing this said much, but I had a ton of leftover fossils and my museum is already done with fossils.. so I gift wrapped a ton of them and gave them to villagers instead of furniture. Doing that each time worked just as well, but I time travel, so I imagine maybe it's less effective than expensive furniture without TT? The villagers still gave me bells or items after I gave them wrapped fossils and, eventually, their framed photo. I gave Filbert expensive furniture and his house looks whack now lol.
Almost 2 Months of playing and never got one and then within 2 days both Bones and Ankha gave me theirs 😂 Ankha even asked me if she should move out and I begged her to stay, then I gave her a perfekt gift she would like and next thing she gave to me was her photo, i‘m convinced she just wanted to test my friendship before she gave it to me, lol 😂
Decreasing friendship helps a bit as there is a formula for determining if a villager will prompt to move out in that day. If it’s a day for a villager to prompt to move out, the characters with the highest average friendship with yourself and other residents, plus an extra larger bonus for every best friend that resident has, will be the ones with the lowest percentages to get the prompt. But even residents with maxed out friendships with all other residents have a chance to ask to leave.
Friendship! I am not paying too close attention to this mechanic, just talking to animals as usual and giving fitting gifts. But now I'll start wrapping them.
I have been trying to get Ursala's photo for weeks, watched this video, then less than five minutes later she gave me the photo when I gave her a present!
I remember that I celebrated a villagers birthday and wrapped their gift. The next day, they gifted me their photo. At the time, I thought going to their birthday would always get me their photo. I was so confused when papi didn't give me his photo. Also based on this video, I think me and wolfgang are good friends since he asked me to create a greeting for him
I've been playing since launch and no pictures yet. I asked someone about this a few weeks ago and she said they had changed pics over to posters so this makes me happy :) I loved collecting pictures.
I'm happy and sad to reach my new level of friendship with one of my villagers, Mira, as she now sells me stuff. I'm happy she thinks of me as a good friend, but I'm always afraid she will hate me if I don't keep buying from her, LOL. I'm now scared the other villagers will sell me stuff!
Its a little all over the place for me between Charesles, Piper, Skye, and Agnes. Agnes is the highest, She let me change her catch phrase. Charesles has asked me to go on quests and treasure hunts, Skye asks me for favors and gifted stuff, Piper has asked for favors and gifted me stuff. In a nutshell.
I just got Snake’s photo today by picking up a lost item and giving it to him. He then thanked me and gave me his photo. I cried since he was my starter villager. Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020
Can a villager lose friendship if I talk to them too much? Some villagers seem to be dropping some pretty big hints sometimes if I talk to them a bunch of times throughout the day. Also, if two villagers ask me for my opinion, and I side with one villager, does that affect friendship in any way?
As a new player who has only played animal crossing pocket camp, this was really helpful. I’ve gotten two of my dream characters for my first 5 villagers (Audie and Fauna) and I’ve been trying to be best friends with them but didn’t know how
Raymond was my third villager and I have given him presents every day since I began playing. He recently gave me his photo after a few months of playing. I always made sure to talk to him multiple times and always purchased what he offered to sell me, even if i didnt want it lol. I find that giving them gifts that are a bit more personalized to their personality types really help. For example, for Raymond I gave him clothes like a tuxedo/college sweater that I felt his gentlemanly demeanor would like. I also have Sheldons photo and for him I gave him lots of sport items such as a basketball hoop or bench press. I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I think thats what helped get the photos.
255 is the largest number that can be stored in a single byte of memory. So it is often used as a scale for things like colours, or in this instance values for friendship levels 🙂
This is because it uses binary code, and that's how it translates to our decimal system. In other words, if a binary value has 8 digits, the value range is 00000000 - 11111111, which translates as 0-255.
Tier 5-6. Normal villagers give you daydreaming, peppy ones give you mischief, snooty ones give you love, sisterly villagers give you confident, lazy pride, jock flourish, cranky inspiration, and smug showmanship.
Friendship! I am new to new horizons and casually play for the most part. However, I do have a few favorite villagers I would want to get their pictures eventually :)
Accepting or refusing nicknames has no effect on friendship level, right? I've always hated the nickname system and refuse to let them even suggest something. I have four photos currently. I'm trying to get photos before they move out now but one I don't have yet keeps walking around thinking, so I assume she's trying to escape me. Boo! I put a freaking telescope in your yard, Skye!
When he talks about trash item: boot, i heard book and my heart broke for a second 😂 luckily I listened again, linked the word trash and can, and realized he was talking about boot 😂
My favorite gifts to give are any wrapped wall mounted furniture because it doesn’t get hung up and doesn’t affect the aesthetic of their home and it gives you full points
Thank you for clarifying about the probability of getting a picture, because I swear several of my villagers have asked to buy something from me and I still haven’t gotten any pictures!
I was watching this video to figure out the best/fastest way to get a villager’s photo, and when I walked into my house Melba showed up to visit and gave me her photo as a gift. I hadn’t played the game in 6 months and it was my first interaction with her since turning the game back on. 😂

Happened once
roroplayzz gamezz wow
roroplayzz gamezz OMG THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO. ME WITH THE SAME VILLAGER

You can also get +3 friendship points by showing “encouragement” emotion to angry or sad villager.
Noice
How can you tell if they are mad or sad?
Can the villager give you their photo again if they gave you one already?
Oh wow, thank you! One of my villagers was walking around with a ♨️above her, and I guess I didn’t use the right emotion. So thank you!

“What is friendship”
Coming from an introvert, something I am not super fond of
pretty sure it's an antisocial thing lol not an introvert thing
being an introvert doesnt mean you dont like friendship???
Lol yeah, it’s a joke. I have a few friends, but I don’t like making new friends
Imagine your best friend giving you a photo of themself as a gift to you. That just sounds narcissistic tbh
That’s why it’s so funny that these little animals just have a framed picture of themselves 😂😂😂
Yeah, it would be much more realistic and sound less narcistic if the photo had both the villager *and* the player character in it.
@Kiramekuai Yeah, me too! Maybe in the next animal crossing game.
Very true!

Omg thank you for this information!
2 different pictures??
@@zahraaalhassaan Both photos she gave me are identical.
“Just don’t give them any trash by accident”
Why did that make me laugh 😂
I accidentally did that...
Stupid Joy-con drift.

I got Apple's photo first, which I love because she's my favorite! The one thing I find kind of odd is that even though her level was high enough to give me the photo, she's never asked me to do a nickname or greeting. I wish she would do that sometime.
I’m trying so hard to get Marshal to give me his photo, giving him gifts everyday and keep talking to him and I’ve only just got true friends with him. Yet I never talk to Bunnie, but because I’ve been to her birthday party and gave her a gift card she’s now got a nickname for me 😅
Keep going! You will get it eventually 🤩
Came back here to say I’ve managed to get Raymond’s framed photo instead! He’s my newest villager and whilst time travelling to breed flowers I’ve been giving everyone gifts. Today he randomly gave me his, still want Marshal’s though 😂
Oooooh! I only want to become friends with Marshal because I love him! Hes so loveable but he's so cranky. And I wanna have a good friendship with him.
“What is friendship?”
Only the biggest questions are answered here.
My thing is, I've been "best friends" with Cookie (who I've had for at least a month) and Reneigh (who was my starter Uchi). And neither of them have given me their photos. But all my other Villagers have.
Edit: and Reneigh was the one who hosted my freaking birthday. I just want her picture. ㅠ.ㅠ
One correction though: gifting items that sell for over 2500 bells can still result in getting bells instead of an item, sadly.
I’ve got 6 pictures now (no tt). Give them gifts that can sell for more than 2500 at Nook’s Cranny. Make sure to wrap them. Talk to them a tooooon, multiple times an hour and multiple times a day. Make sure to do favors for them (don’t open the gifts). Easy.
BjHi Bi ni Hugh I Ohio o
Whats a tooooon? Do you mean a ton? Or a tonne?
Good to know I'm not doing any harm by talking to Margie like 30 times a day. I love her so much I'm trying to get her photo, these comments and video are so helpful.
Nibbles was my best friend on my island, but she moved away. She said she wanted to be a pop star and needed to move elsewhere to make her dreams come true. It was a hard decision to let her go, but I guess that’s what friendship is all about.
I always give fruits even on their birthdays. Because I don’t want to ruined their interior and their unique clothings. I always refuse any quest they ask me because right now except nicknames can be reset. There is no way to permanently reset their clothings and interior to default.
Give them wall hanging items. (Such as iron wall lamps, or hanging terrariums) They won't display those.
Gave all my villagers giftwrapped presents today and got my first picture!! I'm so happy!
As someone who has obtained 16 photos during the past week, I would like to point out a potential glitch found in the game. If you are like me and only gift villagers wrapped up 2x2 furnitures in fear of villagers putting random smaller gifts inside their house which in turn destroys their aesthetic permanently. We are in a bit of trouble. One thing I've noticed is that , by the time some of my villagers gave me their photos, the default smaller “table top“ furniture in their house had all vanished. This happened to my Raymond, Merengue and Marina, and I can't quite pinpoint the logic behind it.
It looked almost if their house had a breakin, and the robber only stole what they could carry. However all is not lost, I managed to gift back even better small furnitures day after day. Their current interior deco looks better than their default, but one downside is that villagers have the habit of switch up the placement of gifted small furnitures every day. So you might one day walk in to find a laptop on their kitchen counter with its screen facing the wall. That's all, just wanted to share my somewhat unusual experience ;D
Tachidottv you have Raymond Marina and Merengue?! The best town ever I want to live there! 😃😢😮🤩
-.*ThatOne_ GachaGirl*.- i have Judy, Kiki, Ellie, Eloise, Marina, Diana, Bob, June, Bluebear and Audie lol
I think I’m Best Friends with Peanut. Which is great, I absolutely adore this hot pink squirrel. She’s the only one who has a custom greeting.
Ellie F My whole island has villagers copying catchphrases-
I was lucky enough to get my first picture from twiggy. Trying my best to get one from another islander but they make you work for it 😂 another great video
I also have twiggy
Joshua Caunt such a great islander. Very cute
your islands are trash, please weed them
When you talk to your villagers so much in a row that they ask you to stop 😅😅
Getting rid of characters is so hard. I had a visitor in the campsite and when he finally asked if he could ask another villager to get out what a shock when I saw my favourite villager was about to move. I talk to him everyday, not too much, give gifts, exchange stuff. I don't understand. Meanwhile there are TWO characters I never talk to and they're here. It's been 1 month and they won't leave. I'm pissed.
Same here man
The latest data mine suggests it's completely random when villagers leave. So neglect/low friendship score won't help you 😕
@@mrbqkc wow this really has to be dealt with. What's the point of doing anything then? There's plenty of things that could be changed for the best. The game is great but SOOOO tedious and illogical sometimes.
It’s random. Reload and it’ll change to a different one.
Maybe try hitting them with net continuously
this was very helpful! poppy is my forever favorite villager, and i hope to be best friends level with her soon. i have a new villager, lucky, moving in tomorrow and will be sure to follow these steps
I just received two of my villagers picture! Very exciting when you get it. Muffy and Aurora!
Leonardo the Tiger was the first one and only who gave me his lil' pic and I didn't expect that from him since he's always bore me to death with his workout conversations. I guess I'm kinda love him more. LOL
I want Snake's photo. I already have his poster but, *I also want his photo*
He’s the only one of my villagers that mailed the photo instead of giving it in person lol
@@lizzjohnston6960 lol
I also have Snake and I’m trying to get his photo, but already have his photo.
I have Snake.. He is my favourite villager bunyip! I want his photo 😔
Ooh, I love snake!
I got my first villager photo EVER on New Year’s Eve from Julian!!! I started giving my villagers fossils and within a few days received Julian, Twiggy, and Norma’s photos 🥰 I’ve had all of them for a few months. Giving them fossils was really the boost I needed to get those photos though! I totally recommend it. Especially if, like me, you’ve already completed the fossils for the museum. 🦴
I have all my villagers photos except Cranston 😭 he’s been level 5+ for as long or longer than most of the others but still won’t give it!
cranston is my fav and im having the same prob T-T
Cranston really does play hard to get
Can you share the type of gifts you give your villagers?
Cranston likes sports clothing
I have seven of my villagers photos in three days thanks to you! your videos are always so helpful🥰
I got Poncho's picture the other day, I was so happy! 🥰 He's one of my first villagers in New Horizons, and one of my faves since he was also my first villager in Wild World.
Oh, and I also got Candi's picture shortly after and I hate her, so... 😂
I love poncho he baby ❤️
I swear if Candi throws her stuff all over my island again....
I've always wondered the interaction at different friendship levels, thank you
Thank you! This is so helpful! I really want Joey’s framed photo.
Joey is my favourite 😭
I love Joey he is the first one to give me a photo
Awesomeness my first photo was Ankha now working on Agnes.
I just wanna say while i was watching this i gave Tad a wrapped fossil and he gave me his photo. Im so happy, ive been wanting it forever.
Quest... I love your videos. You're accent is so soothing. 🥰
Friendship!
Also, Bob is my best friend. I've had him in every village or town I've made since the first game on the Gamecube so he's a little extra special to me.
I haven't been seeing this said much, but I had a ton of leftover fossils and my museum is already done with fossils.. so I gift wrapped a ton of them and gave them to villagers instead of furniture. Doing that each time worked just as well, but I time travel, so I imagine maybe it's less effective than expensive furniture without TT? The villagers still gave me bells or items after I gave them wrapped fossils and, eventually, their framed photo. I gave Filbert expensive furniture and his house looks whack now lol.
Gifting crafted food works great to up friendship points. I always revive an item in return.
Almost 2 Months of playing and never got one and then within 2 days both Bones and Ankha gave me theirs 😂 Ankha even asked me if she should move out and I begged her to stay, then I gave her a perfekt gift she would like and next thing she gave to me was her photo, i‘m convinced she just wanted to test my friendship before she gave it to me, lol 😂
If for some reason you ever wanna get rid of Ankha, slide her my way 😂
Lameashellcosplay Naaaah sorry, i love her 😍 in german she has the same name like my sister 😊
I actually started trying to clap before giving them a gift until they blush and it has increased my chances of getting a photo
14 minute video interrupted 5 times by 2 ads at a time. Dang.
The idea of completionists needing to get 400 villagers photos is mind boggling
Decreasing friendship helps a bit as there is a formula for determining if a villager will prompt to move out in that day. If it’s a day for a villager to prompt to move out, the characters with the highest average friendship with yourself and other residents, plus an extra larger bonus for every best friend that resident has, will be the ones with the lowest percentages to get the prompt. But even residents with maxed out friendships with all other residents have a chance to ask to leave.
Does anyone else always start off by hating a new villager that randomly moves in then after a while the villager grows on them and they love em?
That happened to me with O’Hare 😭 I was so motivated to have him leave my island, but he grew on me. He wanted to move and I said no 😂
That happened to me with Alfonso I did not know I miss him so bad that I cry
Friendship! I am not paying too close attention to this mechanic, just talking to animals as usual and giving fitting gifts. But now I'll start wrapping them.
I have been trying to get Ursala's photo for weeks, watched this video, then less than five minutes later she gave me the photo when I gave her a present!
I remember that I celebrated a villagers birthday and wrapped their gift. The next day, they gifted me their photo. At the time, I thought going to their birthday would always get me their photo. I was so confused when papi didn't give me his photo.
Also based on this video, I think me and wolfgang are good friends since he asked me to create a greeting for him
Are we not going to talk about tangys house / dress she is so gorg
like rosie
I've been playing since launch and no pictures yet. I asked someone about this a few weeks ago and she said they had changed pics over to posters so this makes me happy :) I loved collecting pictures.
I'm happy and sad to reach my new level of friendship with one of my villagers, Mira, as she now sells me stuff. I'm happy she thinks of me as a good friend, but I'm always afraid she will hate me if I don't keep buying from her, LOL. I'm now scared the other villagers will sell me stuff!
Its a little all over the place for me between Charesles, Piper, Skye, and Agnes. Agnes is the highest, She let me change her catch phrase. Charesles has asked me to go on quests and treasure hunts, Skye asks me for favors and gifted stuff, Piper has asked for favors and gifted me stuff. In a nutshell.
Thanks. This really helps. I think I have a pretty high friendship level with my villagers, but still no pictures yet. I am hoping soon. :-)
I just got Snake’s photo today by picking up a lost item and giving it to him. He then thanked me and gave me his photo. I cried since he was my starter villager.

0:58 me when my friend ruins my island and steals my stuff
Thank you so much. I am trying to become friends with Marshal, and everyone knows that that cute guy is a cranky one 😭😂😂🥺🤧💞
I tried to give 99000 bells and they refunded me, looks like money really can't buy friendship even in AC
Katt was my sisterly starter and I immediately fell in love. She's still on my island
3:18 my villagers offer to buy things from my inventory but still no picture :(
i gave renee a bag of trash for her bday and she was sooo stoked, even sent me a thank you gift the next day
I’m best friends with coach! He says you’re gay everytime he talks to me and he sold me a T-shirt
The other day, after watching this, Poppy just off-handley gave me her picture after a gift. I was like WOW ITS HAPPENINGGGG.
So the nook miles task "true friends" is getting them to tier 3 or 4? I've got 3 as "true friends" and none have offered a photo or greeting change.
I got Muffy's pic in New Leaf and now that she's on my island I can't wait to get her pic in Horizons as well
Can a villager lose friendship if I talk to them too much? Some villagers seem to be dropping some pretty big hints sometimes if I talk to them a bunch of times throughout the day.
Also, if two villagers ask me for my opinion, and I side with one villager, does that affect friendship in any way?
As a new player who has only played animal crossing pocket camp, this was really helpful. I’ve gotten two of my dream characters for my first 5 villagers (Audie and Fauna) and I’ve been trying to be best friends with them but didn’t know how
What does it mean if my villagers are running around like Naruto ninjas? 😭😂 I saw at least 3 of them doing it today and it was the cutest thing ever
Raymond was my third villager and I have given him presents every day since I began playing. He recently gave me his photo after a few months of playing. I always made sure to talk to him multiple times and always purchased what he offered to sell me, even if i didnt want it lol. I find that giving them gifts that are a bit more personalized to their personality types really help. For example, for Raymond I gave him clothes like a tuxedo/college sweater that I felt his gentlemanly demeanor would like. I also have Sheldons photo and for him I gave him lots of sport items such as a basketball hoop or bench press. I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I think thats what helped get the photos.
2:13 Oh would you look at that, 255 again. What is it with games and the number 255?
255 is the largest number that can be stored in a single byte of memory. So it is often used as a scale for things like colours, or in this instance values for friendship levels 🙂
This is because it uses binary code, and that's how it translates to our decimal system. In other words, if a binary value has 8 digits, the value range is 00000000 - 11111111, which translates as 0-255.
Harvest Moon all over Again xD
Lol! As you were talking about them asking to change their catchphrase, Pinky just asked me to do it!! Thank you!
Question: At what friendship tier will villagers teach you certain reactions? Some reactions require "high friendship", but what tier is that?
Tier 5-6. Normal villagers give you daydreaming, peppy ones give you mischief, snooty ones give you love, sisterly villagers give you confident, lazy pride, jock flourish, cranky inspiration, and smug showmanship.
Friendship! I am new to new horizons and casually play for the most part. However, I do have a few favorite villagers I would want to get their pictures eventually :)
im working for midge’s pic and judy
I've watched and rewatched this several times and I"ve shared it with discord friends. This is like the best I've ever seen.
Accepting or refusing nicknames has no effect on friendship level, right? I've always hated the nickname system and refuse to let them even suggest something.
I have four photos currently. I'm trying to get photos before they move out now but one I don't have yet keeps walking around thinking, so I assume she's trying to escape me. Boo! I put a freaking telescope in your yard, Skye!
After watching this I finally got Marshal's picture! Yay!
The complexity. My goodness.
Friends are hard.
I’m an INFJ.
When he talks about trash item: boot, i heard book and my heart broke for a second 😂 luckily I listened again, linked the word trash and can, and realized he was talking about boot 😂
"#1 what is friendship?"
Me: Magic?
Lol
My favorite gifts to give are any wrapped wall mounted furniture because it doesn’t get hung up and doesn’t affect the aesthetic of their home and it gives you full points
8:09 are we just going to ignore this poor fish he killed
I got my boii Billy's photo lol I was like "thanks Billy....(really confused)" but now I'm really happy :3
Thanks! 12:35 did u mean change their greeting? I’ve got some gifting to do :P
Thank you for clarifying about the probability of getting a picture, because I swear several of my villagers have asked to buy something from me and I still haven’t gotten any pictures!
How much points do shells offers in wrapping paper
I was watching this video to figure out the best/fastest way to get a villager’s photo, and when I walked into my house Melba showed up to visit and gave me her photo as a gift. I hadn’t played the game in 6 months and it was my first interaction with her since turning the game back on. 😂
