How to unlock important places
------------------------------
Ok!This may of happened to you:You hear about these cool places you get on the 
island!But nobody tells you how to unlock them!HOW FRUSTRATING!Lucky me!I had 
to learn from experience.It wasn`t that fun.So i`m not gonna put you through 
that.If you don`t see the place you are trying to figure out how to get, then 
that probly means I don`t have it in my town yet.

Island Shop:
It opens automatically.It opens a day after you start a new 
game.

Ganon`s Shop:
It also opens automatically.It opens on Spring 11

Upgrading your house:
If you wanna get married and have a kid, you need to 
upgrade your house.
This makes your house bigger so more people can move in.
(Husband,Wife,Kids)
Pay Ganon at his shop to upgrade your house.you can upgrade 
your house 4 times.

Buying a chicken coop:
You can buy this at Ganon`s shop.If you want pet chickens 
you have to have this.Taro presents you with a free chicken when you get the 
chicken coop.

Buying an Animal Barn:
You can`t have cows or sheep until you buy 
this.
Get it at Ganon`s shop.
Taro will present you with a free pet cow when you buy this.

Building Bridges:
This cost alot of money, but it`s well worth the price.
Go to Ganon`s Shop to build the bridges.
The first bridge you will unlock leads to a big open feild.
This is where you hold festivals and contests.
The second one you unlock leads to a forest where you will meet the Witch 
Princess.
This also leads to the mountain trail where you can find mines and dig in them 
for gems and money.
The third and last bridge you unlock leads to a wild forest where you 
meat Shea and Wada.

Upgrading the Roads:I
f you really want to make your town fancy and popular, you 
might want to upgrade the roads.You can do this by paying Ganon at his Shop.It 
turns the main roads from dirt roads, to stone roads.Tourist will move in once 
you start upgrading the roads.

Getting a Kitchen:
Getting a Kitchen is important if you want to make meals for 
your family.
Go to the island shop and pay Chen the price for it.
It will be in your house.

Getting a church:
You`re supposed to get any flower, and give it to the Harvest Goddess for two 
days.(Give it to her by throwing it in her pond.)
The next day two people come and build a church next to the pond. 
You will need this church if you want to get married.

A maker shed is used to turn one food into another food.
With the maker shed you can turn eggs into Mayonnaise,Milk into butter and 
yogurt and cheese,wool into yarn, and crops into seeds.
You can get a thrasher when you upgrade your maker shed.
Thrasher is used to turn rice,wheat,buckwheat and soybeans into flour for 
ingredients.
You can also get a ranker wich turns low rank things into high rank things.
(Like level D to level S)

Getting a Supply shed:
A supply shed holds lumber and rock.It can store alot so 
you don`t have to hold it in your pockets.You upgrade this at Ganon`s Shop.

Getting a Greenhouse:
A green house is used to plant crops.
I know what your thinking......Isn`t that what my feild is for?
You can use the greenhouse for planting out of season crops.
Like a spring crop in winter.You can buy this at Ganon`s, but it cost ALOT.




Money Tips
----------

When you first start out your pretty much poor.
Picking the weeds and putting them in the shipping bins will get you enough 
money until you get a fishing pole.
To get a fishing pole you need to become friends with Taro.
(the old man you meet at the beginning of the game)
If you give him some of that colored Grass everyday 
(you know that stuff on the ground that looks like hearts)
You can become friends with him

You also need to talk to him at least once a day.
It won`t take to long when he gives you a fishing pole.
He`ll knock on the door one day and give you the fishing pole.
Fish is about the best way to get money.
Sell your fish by putting them in the shipping bin.
You can sell just about anything.
Selling the rocks and logs you find on the ground is a good idea too.
Once you get Ganon to build the Bridge to the forest, you can find the 
digging mines.
This is also a good idea to get money.
The gems you find in the ground are worth quite a bit.
Also, you might want to give the gems to your future husband or wife!
(If they like that stuff xD)


Getting Food
------------
Getting food is probly a good idea. xD
I don`t think you want to starve.
Now, the main thing you eat is the colored grass.
(Yah the heart shaped things on the ground.You`ve heard me talk about it 
before.)
You can also eat fish.
(But i would sell those instead)
You can also eat mushrooms  in the Fall, but not the white ones!
They`ll make you sick.
You can also eat your crops, but you probly need to save those.
You can sell these, Make recipes with them, and you can enter them in 
Contests.

DON'T EAT YOUR CROPS YO.


About fishing
-------------
After you get the fishing pole, you will be busy fishing alot.
Fishing can sometimes be frustrating.
Alot of times you`1l pull your fishing pole in and it`ll say "It got away." 
It takes awhile to get the technique right.
You have to pull it up at a certain time.
Pull it up when your person pulls the pole about 1 
and a half times.If this doesn`t help, I`m sorry.
You`ll eventually get it.
Some things are realy rare and some things are just average.Here`s all the fish 
I have caught.

About Mines
-----------
Mines are important to learn about.
Here you can dig up Gems, Stairs, Pitfalls,and Money.
First of all, Pitfalls are very dangerouse!
If you fall in one you will lose almost all your Stamina and will have to go to 
sleep for the day.
Don`t walk in a place where you haven`t dug.
There could be a pitfall there.
Stairs are a good thing to find.
When you find them, go down them and you`ll be in another room.
This is where you can find the gems.The big gray rocks are the gems.
You need to take your hammer and break them.
You`ll get the gems out of the grey rocks. (duh xD)
There`s not much to learn about this part.
But you can unlock Sabrina and 
her dad by digging up and shipping 20 items from the mines.
You can also use the gems for machines parts if you have the maker shed.


How to Care for Animals
-----------------------
Cows-
They need to be fed once a day.
You don`t have to feed them if your in the feild.
But you have to of planted grass seeds in the feild.
They can`t eat dirt!
Make sure you brush and milk them once a day.
You can buy cows at the Animal Shop Once you have a Barn.

Chickens-
They need to be fed once a day.
They like it when you pick them up.
If you put them in the feild, TAKE THEM BACK IN AT NIGHT!
If you leave them outside at night, wild dogs will attack them!
So be careful.
Buy these at the Animal shop after you have gotten the Chicken Coop.

Sheep-
The sheep do not appear in Mirabelle's shop until after you have unlocked 
2 or more boy farmer sub-villagers. 
The sheep you purchase from her will be child-size, and you must wait 15 days

What Garbage does
-----------------
Garbage is the fish bones and the cans and stuff you find in the river and 
oceans.
You can also find garbage in the mines.
Weeds count as garbage.
When you catch garbage in the rivers and 
ocean, it`s realy good.
It cleans out the watyer and brings in more fish.
I bet you didn`t know that, eh?
Never throw garbage on the ground, it will lower everyone's friendship points.


Surviving the Winter
--------------------
Thw winter is the hardest season to go through.
All the food on the ground dies, So you don't have to sell all fish! XD
From spring-fall you need to harvest as much food as possible.
It`s also hard if your trying to marry someone.
All the flowers are dead so you will have to harvest all the flowers before the 
winter.
Once you run out of flowers trying giving your sweetheart some 
chocolate.
That is also hard to get.
If you stop selling your fish to eat them, you won`t have as much money as 
before.
Trying digging up gems instead of selling fish.
The only food you can find is on the very top of the mountain.
It is white grass.


Storms
------
Sometimes when you talk to Taro, he`ll say that there is going to be a huge 
storm the next day.
And he`s not kidding!
To prepare for the storm, just make sure you have enough food in your pockets 
for the next day.
The next day, you can`t go outside because of the storm.
(Beware, it will destroy your crops! O_O)
Eat as much food as you need, and then go to sleep.
(There`s no need to stand their all day!Besides the time doesn`t change when 
your in the house)

Your animals may get sick the next day.


Your Birthday
-------------
When you first make a file, someone will ask you when your Birthday is.
yes your Birthday will be on the Calender, but don`t get all excited!
I was so excited when my birthday came around on Harvest Moon....
But guess what?Nothing happens!
Yep that`s right.
No party, no presents, and no happy birthdays from your friends!
So just ignore your birthday until you are married.

After your married, walk into your at 6:00 pm.
Then you can celebrate!



Getting Married
---------------
To get married, you need to have a Husbands/Wifes bed in your house.
You have to upgrade your house at least 2 times.
(Do this at Ganon`s Shop)
After you have had 3 scenes with them, wait until you get a Red Heart with, them 
and then ask them to marry you.
Do this buy giving them a blue feather.
(Get this at Chen`s shop when you have someone at a Orange heart.)

To make someone like you, you need to talk to them at least 2 times a day.
And make sure you give them a present everyday.
Also, on their B-days give them presents to realy make them like you.
There are holidays where boys give presents to girls and girls give presents to 
boys....
Make sure you give a special present to them on those days as well!
When you talk to someone you can marry, there will be a heart next to their 
picture.
As they grow to like you more, that heart changes colors.
Here are what some of the colors mean:

Grey Heart:Just Friends
Purple Heart:Hmm...looks like someones got a crush on you!
Blue Heart:Wo, they realy like you!
Green Heart:They LOVE you!!!
Yellow Heart:I think it`s getting serious!
Orange Heart:Almost ready for marriage!
Red Heart:Time to get married!


Having Kids
-----------
After you get married you can have a kid.
To have a kid, you need to upgrade your house for the final time.
(You can only do this after you get married.Pay for it at Ganon`s shop)
Then you need to but a kid`s bed at Chen`s Shop.
After you have been married for 30 days and you have those two things done, it 
will cut into a scene.
You are your wife, 
(If your a boy or a girl) 
Will feel sick and Dr, Trent will come.
(He doesn`t have to be in your town at the moment.He`ll travel from Mineral 
Town)
After that scene, wait two seasons to cut into another scene.
This time you will have the baby.It has to stay in it`s bed for two whole 
years!!!!!!
You can`t pick it up or give it gifts.
But you can talk to it.
After the two years pass, You`r kid will start crawling.
Talk to it for 3 days and then you can start giving it gifts.
To celebrate it`s B-day, walk into your house at 6:00pm.

                               -Q & A-
Q: I have a question about Shea: In the diary where hearts appear, he has 
little red hearts like he is supposed to, but when i talk to him, he does not 
have a beating heart next to him. Is that a problem or just a glitch?
 
-Dialga4 (Marie)
    
A: Yes, Shea is a "special" Bachelore, so his heart color is invisible. His 
heart will become visible after marriage.

Q:Do you have any other Harvest Moon games?

-Tracy Swink 

A:YES!I have AnWL, N64, ToT, and DS Cute.

Q:I have 10 red hearts in the diary with Shea, but when i try to propose, he 
says he can't eat a feather. What do i do?

-Unknown

A:Before you can marry, you need to have your house upgraded at least 2 
times.You need to have three scenes with him before you can marry.Even though 
you have a red heart, it`s not to late to have the scenes.If you don`t know 
what the scenes are, keep watching for my soon to be made How to Marry Shea 
guide!

Q: i have harvest moon:island of hapiness for the nintindo ds. i just have 1 
question as of right now. i'm trying to marry the witch princess but she dosent 
have a heart icon next to her picture. i was just wondering if you can still 
marry her? i ask this because i also have harvest moon ds. and in that one you 
can only marry her in the japanese version. i would appreaciate it if you could 
write me back and let me know what's going on with that. my e-mail address is 

-crimsonrok

A: The Witch Princess is considered a `Special` Bachelorette.
She does not have A heart icon next to her just like Shea if your playing as a 
girl.This doesn`t mean you can`t marry her.
It`ll be harder to predict when you have the heart scenes.
But you can still marry her.
She has a heart icon next to her after you marry her
