Easy money
Note: This trick requires two memory cards and a file
which has some type of animal (preferably cows or sheep). Copy
the file to memory card two, then play the game on either file.
Go to your diary and choose to exchange animals. Have an animal
come in from the other memory card. When this is done, sell the
animal repeat as many times as needed.
At the start of the game, go to the Super Market and buy the most
Potato Seeds. For each Potato, you will get about 100 to 300 G.
For the first Spring, only get Potatoes and Grass.
Every day in Fall, there is a truffle by the lake with the island
in it. Go to the stump. Go up and you will see an odd looking
plant, Pick it up and take it to your bin. Do this everyday through
the Fall and you will have a lot of money at the end (about 30,000
G if you do not spend anything). In the Spring, go to the horse
race. Bet on the horse with the lowest odds and win medals. If
two have the same odds, bet the same for both. When you win a
lot of medals, buy the Truffles until you run out of medals.
Go to the mine almost every day. When you enter, dig with the
hoe. First, start out by collecting Silver Ore. When you go deeper,
get Gold Ore and the blue things. If you run out of room in your
rucksack, throw away the Silver Ore and replace it with Gold Ore
or the blue things. Then, start to throw away the Gold Ore and
replace it with the blue things. Do this until your rucksack is
full and you have one of the blue things in your hand. Then, go
to the bin back at your farm and put it all inside. Next, go to
the hot springs and sit there until your character starts to fall
asleep. Next, go back into the mine and repeat the process. Note:
If you uncover a hole, before going inside, dig in the area around
it. There should be some good items there. If you automatically
put something in the rucksack, do not worry; it is extra money.
If your character passes out, you will still have anything that
you put in the rucksack. If your character passes out while holding
something, after it shows the scene where you eat breakfast, the
item will appear in your hand.
Bring your chicken eggs to the Hot Springs. Throw them in one
at a time and you will get boiled eggs eggs. They sell for 80G,
instead of the 50G price for a normal egg. Also, spa-boiled eggs
are great gifts for most and are disliked by none.
Saving money
Do not get any upgrades. Just use your tools until
they are all at 400%, then get a Blue Minstrel for each of them.
You only pay 5000G instead of a total of 11,000G for each individual
upgrade.
Do not get the fourth and last upgrade for the watering can. The
third upgrade reaches the same amount of squares as does the fourth.
More ore while mining
The following trick requires the Harvest Basket and
the Final Rucksack. Bring the Harvest Basket with you to the mine.
Set it down and start mining. You should be able to deposit ore
into the Harvest Basket. The basket can get full after a while.
Empty it out by facing a bin and pressing [Square]. When
you are tired, just heal at the Hot Spring Pool. This also works
well in winter.
Easy heart increase for your girl
On Winter 24th, buy a present for the girl you like
and wrap it. Then, on the next day go to her house and give her
that present. Make sure that it is something that she loves. Her
heart level for you will increase by one.
One day before the Goddess festival after the first year, you
can invite a girl to go there with you. You have to meet her before
6:00 p.m., or she will be mad with you. After the festival, she
will invite you to take a walk with her, and her heart level will
increase by one.
Other seeds
There are seeds you can plant that are not located
at the Supermarket. During any weekday, after 8:00 a.m., go to
the Inn (this is also the bar). The peddler will be to the right
of the stairs. Talk to him, and he will sell you seeds not available
at the Supermarket (Pinneapple, Cabbage, Green Pepper, and assorted
flower and fruit).
Power Berry locations
Get 1001 medals in horse races.
Give an egg to the water fall and everyday the Harvest Goddess
will appear. One day she will give you the Power Berry.
Win the swim festival.
In Winter, go to the cave in the lake. Press [X] to the left
of it and you will find it.
In the cave behind the waterfall.
In the cave in the middle of the lake.
Buy one from the home shopping channel.
Fish in the ocean and find one.
Attempt to chop down the cedar tree. It will ask " Are you
really going to chop me down?". Answer "No" and
you will get a berry.
Plant lots of flowers and Ann will appear and give you one.

Milk: If you buy and take good care of your cows, they will give
you milk every day. You cannot milk a pregnant cow. All sizes
are considered the same for cooking, but the larger the size of
milk that you use, the better it tastes.
Honey: Once you attract some bees to your farm with Flowers (bought

and the fisherman will give it to you. To get the fishing pole,
which catches fish more easily, get fifty fish in your fish pond

fisherman will show up in the morning and will give you the fishing
pole. You can use the medium and large sized fish to cook.

church any sunny, non-Festival day in Spring, between 3 p.m. and
4 p.m. Talk to one of the Sprites, and he will say that you must
have presents to join the tea party. Give one gift to each Sprite.
You will then have a Tea Party with them. At the end they will
give you a bag of Relaxation Tea Leaves. Note: You must use gift
wrap (at the supermarket), and must use your tea leaves before
they will give you more.
Chocolate: This is by far, the most difficult ingredient to get.
You must have some girls (Ann, Karen, Elli, Popuri, Mary) on a
Blue or Purple colored heart. You must not be married. On the
14th day of Winter, stay on your farm all day and the girls will
each arrive one-by-one and give you gifts. Only girls with Blue
or Purple colored hearts will give you chocolate. If no girls
arrive, try going in and out of your house, or restart your game
from a saved file. You will need at least two pieces of chocolate
to create all 64 recipes. Note: It is possible to get chocolate
after you are married. On the 13th of Winter, give your wife presents
that she hates (such as weeds) until her heart turns blue. The
next day, she will give you chocolate. Be very doing this; if
your wife's heart drops too low, she will move out.
Small Stone: Find this on the ground at your farm. If you want
all your land to be clear, save some in your cabinet.
Winter Stone: The same as a Small Stone, only found on the ground
at your farm during Winter.

Mystery girl
That girl that you meet in the intermission sequence
when you first start can be met again. Marry any desired girl
before the end of Year 3. After you become a success and can stay
on the farm just at the beginning of Year 4, she will say "Remember
the promise you made to me all that time ago?" or something
similar. The intermission sequence of two children (you and your
wife) singing on the mountain will start. This is because your
wife becomes that girl you met. Before you marry, the girl you
met will be any one of the five girls, provided you marry before
the end of Year 3.
Barley does not take back the horse
When you get the horse (Barley from Yodel Ranch asks
you to take care of him), brush and talk to it every day to increase
its heart. Plant a lot of grass (about 30 bags). If the horse's
heart gets full and the grass grows, when Yodel returns to take
back the horse, he will give it to you as a gift. You can ride
him and participate in Horse Race earlier.
Bugs
When you go up to Mother's hill, go to the Cheddar
Tree. When you look around on that part you may see a bug or two.
Pick it up, then show them to people. They will give you something
in return on certain days such as Saturdays and Sundays.
