Animal Crossing New Leaf :: How To Get More Public Works Project Requests!

[@Flaminstarwarsguy851]

I do admit that the idea of villagers suggesting public works projects is a good idea. It gets them more involved in the designing of your town. However, the developer who felt like the police station should be a random suggestion is a complete idiot. That particular public works project should have had a quest or something to unlock it instead as it has an actual effect on the gameplay. Maybe buying x amount of forged paintings could get a villager or two talking about how the town should have better security to force out conanimals and then they get a lightbulb and come up with the idea of a police station. Voila! Much better way of unlocking it.

[@derpyliciousmiku]

PREACH

[@becklundberg870]

Yeah. Or it could be blathers who suggests it after you’ve donated a lot of counterfeit paintings.

[@mo-gw8sl]

:c big sad, I'm trying to get the police station right now and it takes soooo long because it's like this. Whoever made the police station like this is my new enemy... 😒

[@kagamine96]

[@crushcircuit]

Ainsley Karevicius Every town is the same size, however, the ground layout for everything may make your town feel small, for example, I have a huge perfect fruit farm that I don't use. I also have a tiny part of town separated by the river, and that makes the town feel small, and I never know where to put anything.

[@Ak-dr9lb]

Yes! thats exactly my problem. that and the way all the buildings are i cant make anything symmetrical and it drives me crazy but ive come too far to restart so im screwed.

[@crushcircuit]

Ainsley Karevicius Me too. However, in my opinion, everything else in my town is perfect to me. Besides, today's my one year anniversary for the town. I've dug too deep, haha.

Hi there! I see you have this super rare item that you intend on keeping. Instead of doing something useful, I'll insist on trading it for my weathered paper. COME ON, please trade with me! You get 4 sheets!

[@avocadotoastispeng3388]

a quick explanation 1. Get a swimsuit 2. Fill ur inventory with flowers or coins anything villagers can’t buy or ask from you 3. Jump into the ocean after wearing ur swim suit 4. Go to the corner of the ocean 5. Wait there for 5-10 minuites 6. Go to ur town 7. Walk infront of your villagers 8. And see if they ping and you might get a pwp

[@antonioalbul00]

they could’ve just put all of the projects when you got them

[@Lightningboy_]

But the game will be easy, and some players might feel like it takes no effort, just my opinion

[@residentsleeper5678]

I think the best way to do this is to do the wetsuit thing, and also just fill your inventory with bell bags. No one can ask you for things, and no one can give you things or buy stuff off you if you only have bells in your inventory.

[@cleliaoconnell3705]

One of the videos I watched did it with flowers, since no one wants them and you can't carry anything more

[@mistydoll5898]

"gonna fill my pockets with flowers, pockets full of posies, THEN JUMP INTO THE OCEAN"

[@Riedymon]

I just trap my villagers in hole and then go to the beach and chill there out of sight. It saves you the wet suit. Not trapping them causes too many conversations, so you should do that either way. You can only get one ping at once.

[@bradfilms5479]

Hahaha! Sound quite evil

[@GoobergirlieLPS]

[@Mrvideosandgames]

Oh man I did... Could have missed it though. Did he actually mention filling your inventory? :P

[@ohmanright6331]

[@AAG_Vanitas]

Whenever I do this they always talk about nothing. Like going on vacation, and hanging out. What the heck...

[@Bamyasi00]

AAG Ventus mine do that too, i think it’s because of the types of villagers that are pinging you, they will suggest certain things based on their type so you may have already unlocked everything for that type of villager

[@a_bear]

Yeah same. Mine just asked me how long I want to cut my hair wtf. And Lucha asked me if he was cool.

[@rairaimrsfullbuster4698]

all my villagers just ask to visit my house and for me to get something for them

[@sweetluna1118]

Fill your inventory with 100 bells but have no money in your actual money area in your pockets. Then the villager can only either give you a PWP, give you a nickname or ask for a catchphrase/greeting. When I did it that way I got a PWP request first time :)

[@farley128]

[@xHarleyy1910]

I'm not even getting any pings I've been in the water like 5 times now for 8 minutes each and no one will even ping, not a single time.

[@Riedymon]

+Kassidy McLain Talk to them, if you spent too much time trying they'll tell you to take a break.

[@dem2349]

You also only get one ping per try. Once one villager pings that's all you get for that time.

[@rosedefknows]

not true! different villagers can ping you

[@ItsYaBoiV]

This is super-duper helpful for me, as I tend to play AC during commercials or between other tasks. Very helpful!

[@Jeddeff]

Best way to do this is to fill your pockets with money bags. That way they can't GIVE you items and they cant BUY items that you don't have. That leaves, 'New Greeting/Catchphrase' 'Moving away' or 'PWP.'

[@bunni3577]

This is how I get villagers to leave

[@DivaDusty]

Im having so much trouble getting a fairy tale bridge... i have a peppy villager but she hasn't requested anything yet... grrr so frustrating :(

[@strekorodriguez9619]

3:39 Omg his town hall pavement is so small! mine is HUGE

[@ribbie5362]

Literally every town hall has the same size ☠️💀

[@perelpeck5387]

It helps if you completely fill your pockets with flowers, so then villagers can't try to give or trade items with you when you get pinged, since villagers won't want to take flowers from you. Also, note that you can only get one PWP request per day, and you also can only get one specific request per day (as in the request you will get is decided at 6 am like all the other day values). Once you get a request you can move onto the next day and hope you get what you're looking for.

[@villevn]

Thanks! Hope this works, still haven't got a perfect town despite quite a few completed projects (plus a million flowers)...

[@NicholasL]

Actually this method works better for me when I fill my pockets with bells instead of keeping them empty because villagers can't buy bells OR sell you their things because your pockets are full of bells. Thanks for the tutorial though!

[@dem2349]

He does say in the video that you should fill your pockets with flowers because villigers can't buy them. Bells work too I suppose.

[@xmrmeow]

did not know you cant get bridges recommended if you have 3 already, thanks, whether its a myth or not i havent gotten any recommended since i built 3

[@VampireQueenMinami]

The flower trick helped me get a PWP I was wanting! Thank you so much! :D

[@ansel3551]

3 years late but I had a thought: if you were to fill your pockets with items villagers wouldn't ask for, this would certainly increase your chance of getting a PWP request, since they can no longer give you items? However, I'm not sure a) which items villagers won't ask for (I'm thinking tools obv, but what about stationary? wrapping paper? flowers?) and b) if having a full inventory will even stop them from trying to throw their junk at you. Hmmm.

[@nonononononononononononono182]

[@gabrielnuzzi7161]

Nice

[@_hope_murphy1170]

*Thank you so much!* For me personally I tried this trick one time and it worked first try!

[@happypills3490]

TIPS: make sure your inventory is filled with nothing but flowers. Villagers won’t buy those of of you, and there is no room to receive items. Also make sure you have no money on you. No money, no request to sell you stuff. Hope this helped!

[@Wra8h]

make your pocket full with flowers or fossils they can't give you something or trade that way.but they'd still ask you a question OR simply request a pwp!

[@basstion4146]

My ocean is so long and not far from the land

[@tedearroz]

[@AlexDewloft]

in case anyone is wondering, you actually can get 1 request per day. I once got a request for 3 days in a row without even doing this .

It's 2024 im doing this method and it's taking me DAYS!!! I've been getting PWP from them by this method, but not the one's I'm looking for. :(

[@iluvutube22222]

A better method is to just fill your inventory up with something that can't be bought or asked to be traded by a villager like bags of money. It also prevents villagers from giving away stuff when they ping you.

[@korinakorinakorina]

Villagers won't request to buy flowers from you, so just stuff your inventory with flowers and you'll increase the odds even more of getting a pwp

[@PrincessBlueRose12]

I love your town. Its so beautiful. I'll give this a try and see if it works. I'm trying to get fairytale theme projects but I can only get it from normal villagers and I only have one which sucks. Hopefully I can get some and make my town more pretty. :)
