P1.1
Prologue
Your farther always wanted to be a farmer. Years ago he bought a farm with his best
friend Takaru but never lived long enough to fulfil his dreams. Did the same calling
draw you to Forget-Me-Not Valley? Or did you want to escape your dreary urban life?
Maybe the real reason is that you wanted to know your farther. Takaru can teach you
about farming, but its up to you to find your own path.
*thanks to the Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life Booklet for that J

::: *People Of Forget-Me-Not Valley* :::
* * WARNING * *
Some of the descriptions of what the characters do, contain spoilers, read at your
own risk!! I will put a * next to the name of some of the ones that contain spoilers.
Ok here goes, over the years people will come and go in Forget-Me-Not Valley and
here is what I know about them so far.
Muffy Well what isnt there to say about her?? She is 1 of the 3 contestants for
your future wife. She works in The Blue Bar, which Griffin owns. She just
wants to have fun, shes bubbly and really over active. She loves Discounted
Prices, Free stuff from your farm, Flowers, Pretty Ores And Old
Coins, which you dig up from the ruins by the water fall the Carter and
Flora runs. Her Diary is by the flowers in The Blue Bar.
Celia Here is the 2nd future wife, Unlike Muffy Celia is the perfect farmers
Wife. She knows a lot about farms (well she should do seen as she works on
the farm with Vesta and Marlin!!), and the child you get with her is so
CUTE!! She like Stuff that you have grown in your farm, flowers and pretty
Ores. Celia is a traditionalist, she loves farms and family is a big thing
to her.Her Diary is upstairs in the living part of Vestas farm, by her bed.
*Nami - And heres constant number 3, humm lets see now, shes the hardest of the 3
future wifes to WOO. She has travelled far and wide, all around the world
to try and find her soul mate. And well shes ended up here in Forget-Me-Not
Valley, can you fulfil her needs?? Well she likes, flowers, crops that you
have grown and things you dig up from the ruins. She is the smartest out of
the three, and she leaves after one year
so if you dont want her to go
marry her! Her diary is in the left hand room on the second floor in the
Inners Inn, which Ruby and Tim run, along with there odd-ball of a son Rock.
You can only see her diary at certain times of the day though.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*~ Now thats the wifes out of the way, ~*
*~ now heres the rest of them! (it will be in ~*
*~ order of all boys then all the ~*
*~ girls!) ~*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Takakura Takakura was an old friend of your fathers, He and your father were the
original owners of your farm. All the way though the game he helps you
out by telling you what you could do to improve on things, he also take
your dairy products and eggs ect to sell in Mineral Town. He will also
buy things you order for you out of your money. In the trail year (the
first year you do!!) he buys you a horse.
Carter Carter runs the excavation at the ruins by the waterfall, he will let you
help Out and keep anything that is not of any value to him, you can sell
the stuff You dig up to Van the travailing sales man when he comes to
visit. He lives In the tent next to the excavation point with flora. If you
get really good friend with him he will give you a cinchowa (or what how
ever its spelt :p ) as a pet.
Merlin Ok here the low-down on Merlin, He works with his sister ( Vesta ) on her
farm. Hes more of a loner, when he finds out that your marrying (if you
decide to!!) Celia he become cold to you (well more cold lol!) but after you
marry her he becomes alright with you!.
Tim Well I dont know a lot about Tim, but what I do know is this, He and his wife
Ruby and son Rock have travelled the world and finally ended up in Forget-
Me-Not Valley, he runs The Inners Inn and knows a lot about cooking.
Rock Rock is Tims son, he likes to party, he lives with his mum and dad in the
Inners Inn. There is not much really to say about him.
Gustafa One of my favourite characters Gustafa is a poet and a musician, his
house is like a tent, become friends with him and he will give you this
really cool cool sickle which looks like it has blood on it!! ( COOL or
what??) go to his house during summer and you will get a scene where you
and other town folk are singing with him, this is the summer festival!!
Daryl Daryl is the town MAD scientist (empathise on mad!), he conducts lots of
experiments in his house which to me looks like a princess castles meet
Frankensteins house, during year 1 (the first year when you get a wife! if
you are good friends with him and you visit him at 1pm 2 pm there will be
a little movie scene where he is going mad saying people are stealing his
ideas, he will give you a seed maker. (this is a reason why hes a
Favourite character of mine, he saves you 6000g!!) he likes fish that you
catch,
especially snelts!
Cody Cody is an artist, he lives in a caravan near the beach, in year 3,4 and 5
If your good friends with him he will give you works of art he has done
For your house. You can put them up.
Kassy & Patrick these a the towns pyrotechnicians, (really big fancy name for
Firework maker!) these are my least favourite
characters, no real
reasons why, they just are! They make fireworks. They
live in the
house that looks like a rocket! You use the rope to
get in and out of
there!
Wally Married to Chris, dreams his son Hugh will grow up to be an athlete like
him! Lives in the 3rd residential houses.
Hugh Cute, Funny, Sporty, Hot mom, sporty dad what can we say this kids got it
all! Hugh dreams of being like his farther Wally, when your son is
older, if he
works for Hugh he will become an athlete.
*Galen Lived in Forget-Me-Not Valley for most of his wife, sadly though in the 1st
real year, Nina dies. However, if you visit it him during year 1 at
6:30 am in
his new home on top of the hill near Vestas farm he will ask if you
would
like to polish Ninas grave! In the trial year he and Nina live next
to Wally,
Chris and Hughes House, Nina and Galen are grandparents to Hugh. I am
Unsure who they are parents to, I think it is Chris but Im unsure!
*Sebastian Sebastian is Romanas butler, he has been her butler for many years
and enjoys his work. When you first meet him (hes in his
room, its the
second door that you come to, on the side with the piano!) go
up to the
picture on the dressing table, and he will say something and
you can
choose what to say, reply with is that Romana? and he will
reply yes,
and tell you some secrets. He lives in the Villa with Romana.
*Murrey Ok here is the scruff of the valley. I cant help but constantly help
feeling
Sorry for this character, as he has a wife and kids in a place
called Po-Po
Valley, Murrey can found wondering Forget-Me-Not Valley. He also
Begs for money, and picks up dropped food! When you get your son,
Go and show him to Murrey, Murrey will say hes cute and how he
Reminds him of his son. At some part of the game in the trail year he
He stop by your food storage and you will have to make a decision of
Whether to let him eat some of the food (If you do this he becomes
happy,
And returns again and again for more! I think it once a month!) or
to say
NO (he become upset and never returns there again!). Ok thats all I
know
on him, but if any one how is further knows whether or not he
eventually
leaves Forget-Me-Not Valley or not please contact me and I will add
it
a.s.a.p. you will find how to contact me in the COTNACT ME chapter.
Grant - Grant comes in the second chapter, he moves in with his wife Samantha
And daughter Kate. All I know about this character is that he works in
Mineral
Town, and he is a business man.
Van Van the travailing sales man, hum other than being able to sell nearly
absolutely anything to him and buying stuff from him he does nothing else.
In the trail year he sell you some tools, in the first year he sells you
toys for
Your child and a goat. Thats all really.
Hardy Oh I hate this character, I absolutely despise him!! Ok expect from
Being a Dr Evil (out of Austin Powers©) wanna be hes just annoying.
He serves as no purpose what so ever, well not yet anyway so when I
find
Out more about this character I will right more.
OK and here is The Girls. (Apart from Celia, Muffy and Nami as they have already
been mentioned!)
*Flora Other than working with carter at the excavation site I dont know anything
About her. But supposedly if you become really good friends with her she
gives you a puppy dog.
*Vesta Vesta runs the other farm, she is also the mother role to Celia.
Go to Vestas farm to buy seeds ect. If you become great friends with
here she gives you the Weird Hoe.
*Ruby Wife of Tim, Mother to Rock, she is funny bubbly and a brilliant chief. If
you become really good friends with her she gives you here special spice, known as
Ruby Spice.
*Nina Nina, well apart from being my one of my most favourite characters, and
being shortly lived seen as the stupid people at Nintendo ect decided
to kill
her off in the first chapter, she is fun and bubbly for her age, she
is Hugh
grandmother and at least we get to tend to her grave. L
Samantha ok I dont know to much about her apart from she is a good mother, wife
And friend. But she has a rather short temper. She lives with her
husband
Grant and daughter Kate. She appears in Happy Birthday Chapter 1.
And she lives in between Wallys House and Ninas old house,
which is
Now that stupid doctors house.
*Kate She a B****, She a Tomboy, Shes a Bully, Shes a Sinner, Not A SAINT!
Kate is Samanthas and Grants Daughter. I dont personally like here
but
thats all. If your child works for her when he is older she bullys
him.
Romana Romana is coming to the end of her long lived life and well I dont want
her to go, she gets out when she can and trys to help anyone in
anyways
possible. When you get really good friends with her she gives you
the
Watering CanW. This is a pointless tool as it only has enough water
in for
one square, and doesnt change anything (tried and tested!) but
its cool to
have anyways.
Lumina Ok here is what I know about her. Shes sweet, kind and a good on a piano.
Lumina likes nothing better than to please her grandmother Romana. I
dont
Know what happens if your son works for her, so please contact me if
you
do know thanks.
OK well now thats all the people done, know here is four more characters

*this took me hours to do!!
Takakura's House
Takakura lives here, but most of the time he's not home. He's always
wondering around town so don't expect him taking a nap when you walk in.
Food Storage Room
You can store food in here, ship your dairy products, order animals+tools+items+
upgrade buldings, and ship vegetables after getting 2nd generation crops.
Dog House
You never have to put your dog to his house, but you can set food for your
dog here in his food tray.
Home
There is your castle and here you go to sleep, save, cook, watch tv, read
info on game tips, play your music records. Your child and wife will
stay with you in your home once you're married (starting 2nd year).
Chicken Coop
This is where chikens go, you can put chiken feed in there to feed them.
Incubator here too where you can hatch eggs, sometimes even ducks after
you get them ~_^
Well
Fill up water here in your watering can to water your crops.
Tool Shed
All your tools are located here as well as all your other equipment. You
can find a music record in the cabinet here and also your seeds, etc are
in there too. You can enter the Barn from here also.
Barn
All your animals stay here where you basically milk, clip, hug, talk, etc.
A switch in the back allows all the animals to come back inside if you
let them out into the pasture to have some fun in the sun.
Pasture
Unlimited grass can be sickled down here to make fodder and might I add that
finally no more spending 500G a bag to buy grass seeds (HM:FoMT). Also a
switch is located outside on the Barn letting all the animals outside in the
sun keeping them happy.
Water
Bring your animals next to it to wash them with the brush.
Fields
Un-Fertilized - I would use this for the crops
Fertilized Field I would use this for the crops
Very-Fertilized Field I would use this to plant the tree in!

P3.2
..::*Animal Care*::..
(Cows) - Keep all your cows outside when its nice outside & wash them
(makes them happier).
- Bring them back inside when the weather is bad (raining,
snowing, etc...).
- Don't bother your cows if they are sleeping
- Feed them 2 times a day
- you can Milk them 2 times a day
- Cows can be milked for four seasons after giving birth
- Feeding them good fodder (order from Notebook in Food Storage
Room) will make them happier, thus giving you grade S milk (natural
happiness is better).
- You can keep your cow & impregnate it again or you can sell it once
it's done producing milk and buy a better cow.
- Don't Seed more than 1 cow, they must be 10 days or more apart
before seeding another.
- Pregnant cows must be fed accordingly due to their lack of movement
- Once you get the Milk Processing Room, cows will milk themselves
(Calf) - Feed them "Special Milk" twice a day right after it's born
- Feed it regular milk once the "Special Milk" is no longer available
(Additional Info) - You must also pay to have a cow seeded. A heifer will
not give milk until she has a calf, and will only give
milk for about a year after the calf's birth. Then the
cow will have to be seeded again. However, if you have
a heifer mate with one of the bulls on your own farm, then
it will cost nothing to have it seeded.
- Cross breeding is possible between Normal, Brown, Marble
and Star cows.
(Chicken) - In order to incubate eggs you must have a hen and a rooster with
a fertilized egg.
- Before buying a chicken make sure you have enough money to buy
the Chicken Feed
(chicken feed must be ordered from the Food
Storage Room).
- Taking good care of chickens can result in Golden Eggs, which
sell for 300G each.
- Eggs take 5 days to hatch & it takes baby chicks another 5 days
before they can mature.
(Sheep) - They are clipped once a season (be sure to have a pair of
clippers/shears).
- Keeping them in great condition results in Golden Wool (hug it
twice a day).
- Keep in mind that Sheeps cannot be sold.
- Don't bother your sheep if they are sleeping.
- Wash it & Brush it!
(Horse) - Randomly given to you by Takakura anytime of the year.
- Keep it outside when nice out, Ride it, Wash it.
- Be sure to feed it everyday, brush & talk to it.
- Drastically shortens the time getting around town by riding it.
- Don't bother your horse if they are sleeping.
(Goats) - Van sells goats in Chapter 2, Spring (each spring every year)
(costs 4500G), but you can hagle with van to gte it for cheaper, just
reject his prices, i think it 2000 you can get it for so keep me
informed if anyone knows. Thankies
- Gives milk for about one year
- Don't bother your goats if they are sleeping
- Brush & Wash it
(Ducks) - A Pond must be built during Chapter 1 (ordered/bought from
storage room).
- Must be raising less than 6 chickens
- You can choose weather or not to keep them or not
- Placing some of the eggs in the incubator can hatch ducks
instead of chikens.
- Can be sold for 500G.
(Dogs) - Be sure to feed it everyday if you want it to be happier
- Once the dog becomes happy you can hug it
- If you kept your dog really happy he'll follow you, bark,
& maybe even learn tricks.
- Chihuahua can be available after collecting all the Tablets
in the Mines.
- The dog also chases away strangers.
(Cat) - Romana stops by with a cat (Fall, 1st year of Chapter 2).

..::*TOOLS*::..

- Crops can be used more for making home cooked meals.
- Don't buy seeds that belong in a different season, they wont grow.
- You can water your plants more than once a day (watering more makes it
grow faster).
- Fertilizer helps make high grade vegetables (Grade-A, Grade-S)(sells
for more $).
a. (Fertilizer)
- Fertilizing is expensive but it is well worth it because when you use
S-Level vegetables in the seed-maker, you'll get S-Level seeds to grow
S-Level crops.
- Plow->Fertilizer->Plant Seed (A-Grade 4X, S-Grade 8X)
- The more Fertilizer you use the higher the Grade of vegetable (don't
overuse).
- Water as much as you can.
b. (Planting)
XOXOXOX - Plant in Checkered formation (results in faster growth & less
watering).
OXOXOXO - 3rd generation crops + sweet potatoes in checkered formation.
XOXOXOX - Every other crop can be bunched up together.
c. (Trees) - Can be planted any time of the year
- Keep crops 2 spaces away (failing will result in dead crops)
- Plant them in the smaller fields (add fertilizer)
- Trees take 30X of Fertilizer for S-Grade fruits
- Although fruits make ok profit, the seeds go for alot of $money$
so after getting the seed-maker, take the fruits and put them
through the seed-maker resulting in bags of seeds which can be
sold for 1000+ (save fruits for the seed-maker).
d. (Watering)
- You start out with a regular watering-can, but you can buy a
Large Watering can which is definetly helpful so less trips
are taken to the water pump.
- Water twice a day (water more if you can)
*(Wooden Watering Can) - grows trees much faster
- become good friends with Romana for it
e. (Tools)
- Just like every HM game, you can upgrade your tools, but here we
can go ahead and just buy the upgraded ones (example. Heavy Hoe,
Hoe, Light Hoe).
- Pros & Cons. Heavier tools builds up stamina, but makes you tired
faster. Lighter tools lets you work more, but takes longer to
build stamina.
