Prevent Animation reset in animation player

Hello,

I was doing a forest installation with quill, and I ran into couple of problems and I hope someone may know how to prevent this.

First thing what I needed is to virtual environment stay in place when the quest turns off after putting it down which makes the forest not fit or fit unproperly in the space. Is it possible somehow to prevent this from happening?

and the second thing if it would be possible to prevent quest from turning off after putting it down ( rather slee) then I wouldn't run into the first problem.

Thanks. Hopefully someone can help.
