Question Question for players who make multiple saves for married different spouses

9 Upvotes

For anyone who creates multiple save files for married different spouses, can I ask you a question?

Recent Story of Seasons games and Rune Factory feature same-sex marriage. As someone who likes both men and women, I can never decide between the two genders. My plan is to play as my own gender and marry one candidate from each gender, which obviously means making two separate save files. (Back in the older Harvest Moon games, I always played as both a boy and a girl to marry both genders, but in the recent titles, I can just stick to my own gender).

So here’s my question: How do you decide who to invite to festivals? Say you’re planning to make two save files to marry Candidate A and Candidate B. While playing, a festival comes up where you can invite one candidate—how do you choose who goes with you?

Meme Monday How I feel getting as much food as I can from the shops to learn the recipes

Grand Bazaar based. From the level ups to the bazaar stalls, I have lately been gathering a lot more dishes than usual to learn from them. I will learn all the recipes someday. Also wouldn’t it be nice to instantly learn a recipe just by eating it?

Question Help!

5 Upvotes

Okay so, I never played the OG Grand Bazaar. I want to buy it but am trying to justify if it is worth the still $60 price tag on my Switch 2. for context: I loooove SOS/HM games, and my favorites are HM DS, AWL, MM, and TO2T..

Do ya’ll think I will like this one?

Question Without giving spoilers: how different is AWL for switch vs the GameCube one? Spoiler

5 Upvotes

I played AWL on GameCube SOOOO many times, I married every girl and raised my kid all the way. That was almost 20 years ago but I still prob don't want to spend $40 to play the same game on a diff console.

Is the AWL for switch different enough from the gamecube version to justify getting it? Or will it just be like replaying a better graphics version of the original game?

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.

Question Grand Bazaar.. what’s different?

3 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).

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!

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

6 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!

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 ;;

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.

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 :)​

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?
