Hey guys, if you're like me you probably are struggling to complete your town due to not having all the PWP unlocked. I've made a guide combining my findings with other people's findings to create one big helpful guide. Just follow these steps and you'll have all the PWP before you know it! I recommend doing this when you can just leave your 3DS out to check on it while doing something else.
Step 1. Is your villager a morning or night animal? Check the Wiki of their personality to see what time they to go to bed. For example, Apollo is a night animal and goes to bed at 4 AM. I could fast forward until 2 AM where hardly any villagers are outside. This is important because you want as little villagers out as possible if you want to trigger the event for a specific animal.
Step 2. Surround your specified villager with holes to trap them so you know where they are. It's also a good idea to trap the other villagers away from your specified villager so they don't get in the way.
Step 3. Empty your bells on hand! This is very important as villagers will ask you to buy something. Dump all your bells into the ABD, on the floor, wherever. Next, fill your inventory with flowers. Villagers will not buy your flowers from you or ask you to bring an item to another villager.
Step 4. Once you have done steps 1-3, you can move on to the most important phase for this to work. Put on a wetsuit and swim to the bottom corner of your map. I swim to the bottom left for my map, but others may vary. You must wait here 4-5 minutes and then swim back to the shore and find your villager. Sometimes it will not always ping for your specified villager so see if someone else has the event triggered. Also, do not keep your 3DS closed while waiting! It will not register as you being away and your villagers will not trigger an event.
Step 5. Your villager will trigger an event when you go up to him. Knocking out the other events, the main ones left are usually asking you for a nickname, catchphrase, random question, or PWP idea. If they ask you for a catchphrase or nickname, say yes! Even if you aren't going to actually change it, make sure to say yes. I haven't 100% proved if it helps, but I've noticed they don't ask again if you say yes, but will ask again if you say no. I read you can only earn one PWP a day, but you can actually earn multiple PWPs a day. It's just rare and better to fast forward a day and start again. Just make sure no one moves out doing so.
Step 6. Just additional information to keep aware. If villagers aren't pinging with an event, you've probably been playing too long and they'll want to tell you to take a break. Just go and talk to one of them and after they've said that you can go back in the water and wait.
