How to unlock the The Nice Things in Life achievement in Alan Wake 2 - Definitive Guide

This is a collectibles based achievement for grabbing the 6 Campaign Slogans, and then visiting the watery hall/cafe to pet the mayor. The earliest this can be done is during Saga's chapter named Old Gods, and must be done before the point of no return at the end of the game. You can keep track of your slogan progress inside of Saga's Mind Place, using a board on the wall.
The locations are as follows:
Bright Falls: On one of the roads touching the lodge where you start in this area
Bright Falls: Across the street from the diner
Bright Falls: Near the Wellness Center which is revealed as you make Saga story progress
Watery: Across the street from where your car arrives
Watery: Near the well in Coffee World
Watery: In front of the gate to the trailer park

Once all 6 are found, head to the Watery Hall/Cafe, up to the stage, and find a dog there. Pet them. They will also give you a charm that allows all collectibles (stashes, lunchboxes, nursery rhymes, etc) to be shown on your map when near them.

Alternatively, the dog will show up without the slogans in open free roam before the point of no return.

I didn't do any of the collectibles afaik, and mopped this up at the end just by petting the dog, without any of the slogans, so I guess I did the alternative path on accident. Side note: I pet the mayor with a full inventory. There is a shoebox right next to it, and the charm was automatically placed in the shoebox.

For this one you must find 6 Mayor Setter Placards in Alan Wake 2.
You can get the last one in Chapter 5 of The Return and once you get back from Valhalla Nursing Home don't go to the Police Station but get to your car and drive to Watery.
There you will find Mayor Setter in a bar.
He will reward you with Mayor Setter Charm which is great for finding missing collectibles.

Here's the video

I got this towards the end of the game, before the point of no return for Saga. The game explicitly tells you when the point of no return is and forces you to save. At that point I had all the relics, except for the one that Mayor Setter gives you. Fast travel to Watery (if you need to see where your car is in Bright Falls hold the cn_back button) and go across the street to Suomi Hall. Mayor Setter is on the stage in the first room.

.

I don't know if there are conditions for him to spawn, so I will update the solution as I hear from other people

Do you know if you got all of the mayor setter "collectibles"? When you interact with all the displays and what not, they get added to a board in Saga's Mind Place. Thought this might only open up when you have all of them.

I know I got some of them, but I don't think I got all of them. I did get all of the charms before visiting Watery to see if Mayor Setter was there. I believe it is a story timing collectible as visiting Watery previous times had other things on the stage

I'm almost certain you need the slogans. At some point after Local Girl, Ilmo disappears from the cafe, and the cafe stays empty until you grab the 6 slogans. The earliest you can do this is with Saga during "Old Gods".

Ok, if that is the case I will take my solution down after more feedback. I know that I did not get all of the slogans. I will look around the internet and see if there is any other feedback

I was able to find a few mentions of the Mayor slogan locations. Power pyx says on his website that collecting all 6 of the slogans make the Mayor show up early in the Old Gods chapter. I know that didn’t happen to me and they mention if you don’t collect the slogans the mayor will show up in Watery in the following chapter when you have free roam with Saga.

Credit to PowerPyx for that understanding. It was consistent with what I saw as I know I got a few of the slogans, but not all
