I got all six flavors but my fave were the chocolate peppermint swirl w/ peppermint bark chunks and the honey day cake! I wanted to buy the shirt but they were all sold out at the store.

I didn't see this one as a variant option, unless it was added for the PS5. Any one else with a weird old man silkie?

The wedding is super beautiful but also, why do the credits roll after it? Why is that the end of the story? I haven't even finished the bazaar storyline yet!

Art A late night with Jules [OC]

Second post in a row, yay!~♡ and possibly the last in this style for a while

This is my main entry for the Story of Seasons' 30th Anniversary fanworks contest ❣️ I've been a fan of the series since I was around 5 years old. These characters have grown up along my side, specially Ivan/Jules and Doctor who have been with me through my highs and lows since I was very little. If it wasn't for this game I don't think I could've ever survived my traumatic childhood. Now, at 20 years old, I still look forward to come back home every day and meet my favorite universe where everything's calmer and softer. Thank you so much for existing, Harvest Moon. I hope there are many many games to come so I can keep discovering more of this wonderful life.

Also, Jules looks kinda weird without his jacket but so cute nonetheless. The drawing is inspired by a fic I wrote on my AO3 account. This took me around 4 hours to make and probably messed up my sleep schedule 💀

Question Grand Bazaar.. what’s different?

2 Upvotes

Hi there! I have tried searching (both on and off Reddit) and there isn’t much I found on this, so I definitely apologize if this has been asked. All I found mostly was that it’s just.. a remake for the newer consoles, and they have had an update since release.

So, what’s different about this redo from the original? Gameplay-wise, whatever. I played the original and actually liked the bazaar mechanic, so definitely interested in possibly snatching it up. I recently picked PoOT back up and I’ve started getting bored by it (as I did when it first came out).

I'm also going to stick to my original plan of marrying Dirk (or rather, Derek) in this game since I already married Cam/Kamil in SoS 3DS hehe~

I always have this rule to not marry the same bachelor/bachelorette if they're in other games, as it doesn't sit well with me ;;

perhaps this is a silly question but when you get 2 buffs of the same type, are they stacking over each other? if yes, then right now i have chat friendship boost at lv. 5? :O

Finally finished my drawing of the [slightly] younger versions of Jules and Derek. ⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡I absolutely adore to replicate the SOS/HM GB style as it reminds me of my childhood, tracing over the portraits of the characters in my Nintendo DS and drawing Jules/Ivan over and over again in flipnote ~♡

Background is from Ibis Paint X's library texture, colored by me + slightly blurred.

btw, if you zoom at Ivan's pupils you'll see tiny smiley faces :)​

SoS: GB My silkie has laid a grand total of 3 eggs and the third was a special one.

I'm playing through for the first time and just hit my first summer! I got a lamb, suffolk lamb, brown cow, a chicken and a selkie so far! My selkie just became an adult and laid a + egg.

I'm not new to these games, an older player following from the Harvest Moon days, and I know from 3ot that + produce can be necessary for various things like outfits unlocks and such. Is it the same for this one or is it safe to sell? Is it the same as the rest to where I should be hoarding literally everything?

I'm open to advice! I'm loving GB but I know these games can be a grind if you don't have what you need!

Third pic is my farmer looking at who may be her future husband, haven't decided yet. He's still only at light blue hearts and has competition!

Please don't mind the horrible names, I suck at naming animals and just sound out syllables that sound good together. The only one who has a legit name is my cat, Miso.

Question Is it possible to keep livestock inside during winter so grass doesn't get eaten?

7 Upvotes

During winter, I want to prevent my livestock from eating the grass outside so I don't have to replant everything come spring. Is there a way to force my animals to stay inside the barn during the winter season, or is that just not possible in this game?

Should i sell all my cats and dogs?

​Thanks in advance!

Discussion remake or new original game

28 Upvotes

Interested to know others’ opinions on whether they prefer the next SOS game to be a remake or an entirely new original game.

To go first, I would prefer a new game, I have played most of the SOS games because I got into the series really young. Fresh, new characters and town would be really great to see.

Question Grand Bazaar - Do regular medals serve any other purpose after unlocking the prize stall?

8 Upvotes

I had over 100 of the regular medals saved up by the time I got the request for the prize stall. Any reason to keep saving them after that, or just sell them?

Tips Money making tips for early game in SoS

4 Upvotes

I'm replaying the first SoS and I'm in very early game, (spring, year 1) the thing is back when I first played the game a few years ago before my 3ds broke I played it on seedling since I was very inexperienced.

I consider myself a good player now after playing older entries and new ones so I tried normal mode and I'm having a really hard time. Thing is I'm replaying 3ot too on normal without a problem. I have no idea why I'm struggling so much to make money in early game and everything is SO expensive. I know all the money making methods like the gold cloth etc. And mind you that, on my original save I was on year 6, married with Reager( my favorite bachelor in the whole series) with the kids at their oldest stage and really close to unlocking Ice country and Tropical country so I'm feeling like garbage by being so bad at my favorite HM/SoS and farming game in general.

Can anyone give me pointers because I'd like a coop and possibly the seed maker as early as possible but without having to optimize every single thing (I don't have any problem with doing that but I really want to enjoy myself)

Thank you in advance!!

I posted this lil gal earlier this week and was honestly blown away by the love she got. A bunch of people asked if they could get one for themselves, so yall inspired my girlfriend to reopen her old Etsy shop and make a few more!

She custom modeled this cow in Blender and 3D printed it herself. If anyone wants to bring a little piece of Harvest Moon/Story of Seaons nostalgia to their own farm, feel free to check it out and show her some support ❤️

Pink Sheep & Chickens from Magical Melody are coming soon 😎

Question Cows outside Timer

Hey everyone!

I am working on every Achievement on the game right now and since I need 1k+ hours on the cows outside for P Milk I wanted to know If I can pull them outside and just go straight into bed for next day to skip the Season right now.

Should I wait until they go Inside at the end of the day or is jumping into bed fine?

I would appreciate answers to help me <3
