I got the detailed painting in the mail from Jolly Redd today. As expected, Blathers told me it was a fake.
Label was in town, and yet again, she wanted me to wear a “vacation” outfit. She gave me a top coat to use as an example. So I checked my storage. I decided to add a top hat to go with the top coat, and I also changed into some hi-tech sneakers and denim pants. But Label was not impressed.
She didn’t give me another item, but she will be sending me a tailors ticket in the mail.
Wisp was in town tonight, and I collected his spirits for him. For my reward, he gave me a pennant.
I gave wrapped gifts to Agent S, Midge, Louie, and Bones. I had no luck getting any of their photos yet. But hey, at least I got a cool apron. 🙄
I even gave Rizzo a mushroom for being such a fun guy, and he seemed to like it. 😛
I hate to break it to ya Jeff, but you have a 5% chance in getting a villager’s photo, even when you’re at the highest friendship level with them.
That’s okay, I’ll keep trying! 🙂
Do you have the Nook or Bug Aloha Shirt (no particular color thereof)? Those and whatever pants and shoes should work.
To avoid buying a fake painting, go to either of these sites for a Forgery Guide:
https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/animal-crossing-new-horizons-art-how-to-spot-redds-fake-painting-and-statues
or
https://acnl.fandom.com/wiki/Forgery_Guide
I avoid using guides for that, although I do take my own screenshots to compare. But the only real work of art this week was one I already had in the museum.
The incriminating differences between real and fake did not carry over from New Leaf to New Horizons, but the real art still looks like the real art (as seen in NL and real life).
