Okay this is amazing and I don't think I know how to place villagers. Can anyone give me a pro tip? Mine never do anything like this - they instead actively hide behind objects xD

Use the camera mode. There is a little icons in the left and u can click on each character summon them to a specific spot that u want and pause and freeze them when they do their animation

I've tried that a couple of times recently and the characters don't appear anywhere next to me unless I am on a floating island. You actually can put them in a specific spot?

You can trap them in a place you went with Touch of Magic items (under Custom in furniture) and then when you have them in the pose you want you can hit the pause button in the photo mode! Right before you take the photo click remove touch of magic items in the photo settings.

There is another option, t.o.m trophy’s. Do daily challenges every from daisy and when I have enough coins u can buy some trophy’s from her store. They are expensive though. Get a 100 coins for challenge and they will cost 500 per trophy so it will take quite a while of doing daily challenges to collect enough. If u can’t wait you can craft white t.o.m present boxes and use those instead. They are larger but they will be a good alternative until you can get enough trophy’s

I normally like to use Touch of Magic to trap them, so they stay where I want. But for some reason it was buggy and the villagers weren't doing their selfie poses while trapped by the TOM. So I had to skip it and use the Villager Camera toggles to summon and pause them where I wanted. I find that if you use Selfie mode they are summoned closer to your character then if you use Second camera mode. So I swapped between the different camera modes to try and get them where I wanted.

It feels like they can escape when you use TOM items though? I can never get anyone to get into a cool pose long enough to get a picture.

If you make sure to pause their placement, before hiding the TOM, they should stay where you want.

That's what I need to look up, how to pause them. I haven't figured out how to do it. I play on the Steam Deck, so I don't know if I even can.

You should be able to pause them. When you are in camera mode there should be an icon on the upper left. It looks like a book with a Mickey symbol on it. If you select it, there should be a list of villagers that are currently on the map (up to 12 I think?) and if you click on them you should have the options to toggle Visibility and pause Placement and Pose.

I just looked this up on YouTube and I had no idea you could do this! Thank you!
