Picture



A picture is a piece of special furniture, worth around 3,200 HRA points each, given to the player by a villager, most often their best friend. They appear in and. The picture has a portrait of the villager and can be interacted with. Once selected, it reveals a quote either unique to the villager (one example is Tangy's picture, which talks about citrus) or their personalities or species. The majority of players assume pictures originated in Wild World. However, the idea started from the original and its port, where Nook's portrait can be received in the monthly lottery.

There are 150 villager and 6 special character picture furniture items in Wild World, making a total of 156. They do not appear in the catalog, and do not have a color or genre, despite their colored frames. They can be put on top of tables, fireplaces, etc. They all take up one space in the player's house, and cannot be sold. When dropped outside, they appear as the same green leaf that other furniture items do.

These pictures are obtained by befriending the villagers. Once given, a picture is the player's forever, even if the villager moves away. The reverse of a villager's picture has a phrase that matches their personality.

However, in, villager pictures are generally obtained randomly after completing a task for a villager. If the player befriended them, they may also send a picture with their goodbye letter. They can also be obtained on April Fools Day by telling which villager is the imposter. The pictures are considered 'lucky' items (worth 7,777 points) by the Happy Home Academy, but this bonus is only awarded if the villager is a current resident in town.

In, villager pictures can be used to decorate clients' houses. They are typically unlocked by designing a house for the corresponding character, though some pictures can come in sets even if the depicted villagers don't live together. For example, Chrissy and Francine, due to the two being sisters.

In, villager picture can be obtained, when friendship with the player reached level 20.
