    2)Differences from old Harvest Moon game

Marriage - There's no more marriage in this game so don't waste your time  
           giving out presents to girls
Dog - You will not get a dog easily in this game, you would have to catch one 
later. You also have to put a food 
       (I.e. Very Berry) in the Dog Bowl everyday
Farm - You don't have to clean up the farm, it's already cleaned
Bell - There's no more bell in this game, so that means you would have to herd 
       the cows by yourself, or use the Dog to herd the cows   
Fish - You can no longer feed your fish or keep it in a pond, you would have 
       to either sell it, eat it, cook it, or put it in a refrigerator                  
Add Up - You can only add a Kitchen and a Dog House ( See 9.Add Up)
Sickness - There's no more Clinic in this game. If you work too hard, you 
           would get sick, you would have to sleep for the whole day.
Mayor - No More Mayor in this game
Tools - The Hammer and the Axe is out of order (no more)
Horse - It's not easy to get a horse (See 6.Animals)
TV. Channels - There's only three channels now
Time - Time Flow a lot faster in this game than the old Harvest Moon

       5)Animal
A) Horse
Getting a horse is pretty easy. As you've seen above, look at the picture of 
Bob. When you go to Brownie Farm, you can buy things, do the Time-attack, or 
do part-time job. If you are a beginner, you would of course pick "do part-
time job", by doing so, you get to go to this Brownie Ranch and do things such 
as brushing the cows and horses, milking the cow, and feed them. To get a 
horse, simply do part time job everyday, and be friends with Bob by giving him 
gifts such as eggs (hint, hint). Actually, you don't have to feed them (you 
never have to) but this is optional. Remember $50/hr (another hint, hint). If 
you're a newbie, stay as long as you want and you might make buck buck bucks. 
There are 5 choices of Horses you want, there's the light brown horse, the gray 
horse, the dark brown horse, another medium brown horse and a cream-colored 
horse. You can have a chance of getting one of them but only one, you can't 
get more than one after getting one already. To get the one you want, simply 
talk to one of them and brush him (don't talk or brush other horses you don't 
want). When you first talk to the horse you want, you would say something like 
"I hope he doesn't bite." Now in a few days, you should notice that the FIRST 
horse you say something positive to, like "You are looking nice today" or "You 
are actually really cute" is the horse you will get! (Third hint, hint) After 
a few days, Bob would take the horse you want or like to your farm first thing 
morning and you get to take care of it. Remember (fourth hint, hint) Brush 
your horse everyday (most important), talk to it, if you get to the fourth 
heart try to call it to you, and Ride it often!!!!!  You can ride it outside 
of your farm if you want, run around the town and REMEMBER THE MOST IMPORTANT 
THING!!!! NEVER LET YOUR HORSE STAY OUTSIDE OF RAIN!!!! That could lower your 
relationship with your horse!!!!! But instead, if you check the TV channel to 
see tomorrow's weather, if it's a sunny day, just let him stay outside without 
pushing him back to the barn. Last Thing to remember is to FEED IT EVERYDAY!!! 
You won't get to ride it at first, unless your relationship is high enough, 
you get to ride it
Heart Rates 
1 Heart-We are getting along better. 
2 Hearts-He can run now. 
3 Hearts-He is running faster now. 
4 Hearts-Top Speed. He runs like the wind. 
5 Hearts-He is confident he won't lose to anyone.




	B)Dog
Now all of you might be curious about how to get a dog. For my personal 
experience, it had almost taken me about 2 weeks to get a dog. I was really 
surprised because I saw a dog running around the forest, then I thought I 
would be able to pick it up. I pressed X and I didn't know I could get a dog 
by doing this. I named him Doggy and fed him everyday. Everyone would think 
that dog is just useless, but on the other hand, it can be a great help to 
you. The only useful way of keeping a dog is to herd the cow. You would have 
to get a flute first to get the dog to herd the cow (for more information on 
how to get a flute See 6.Flute Notes). Pretend that it's a sunny day today, 
and its going to rain tomorrow, you would have to push all the cows back in to 
their barn. That would take like FOREVER!!! So in order to make your life more 
easier, just play the flute note: Run-Right,Left,Right on the D-pad. Then your 
dog would start running to the cows and tell them to get back to their barn. 
You would need to have about 4-5 hearts in order for your dog to herd the cow. 
There's two kind of dog, one is the original red one and the second one is the 
new blue dog. Until you've reached about 5 hearts to your dog, it would listen 
to every command you say. 
Heart Rates 
1 Heart-He is starting to like me. 
2 Hearts-He comes to me when I whistle. 
3 Hearts-I think he's starting to run faster now. 
4 Hearts-He is getting smarter and he listens to what I say. 
5 Hearts-A man's best friend. He is my buddy.
See 6.Flute notes for more detail about flute notes to your dog

	C)Chicken
Chickens are usually the first animal you buy. They are easy to take care of 
and cheap! They can be bought at Brownie Farm(Farmer's Shop) for 500G each, and 
then the rest you can get for free by incubating the egg! You have to buy feed 
for your chicken (10bucks only). When you remember to feed your chicken and 
take care of it, it will lay eggs for you! You can then sell the eggs for 50G 
each. You can always check its stat by picking it up and pressing the SELECT 
key. 
Price-500G
Sell Price-300G
Produces: Egg, Golden Egg(Sunny Days)
You can sell your egg for 50G at the Food Shop or the Bar/Cafe
Grow Up
Egg hatch-3 days
Chick turn into a Chiken-6days
First Saying-I'll take good care of you. 
Second Saying-Are you getting stronger?

	D)Cows
Cows are the best animal in this game. For my own personal experience, almost 
all of my money comes from the cow's milk. They can be bought at Brownie Farm 
(Farmer's Shop) for 2500. First of all, before you even buy a cow, you MUST 
buy a milker and a brush. Now, after you've bought one, brush it everyday, 
talk to it, feed them, and put them outside when it's a sunny day. After it's 
gone up to about 2 hearts, you can start milking them.
Buy-2,500G 
Sell Price-3,000G 
Produces: Small Milk-150G, Medium Milk-200G, Large Milk-300G, Grand Milk-400G
Grow Up
Calf turns into adult- 7 days
Adult Cow give birth- 12 days (including first day, last day)
Small Milk Cow turns into a Medium Milk Cow- 11 days
Medium Milk Cow turns into a Large Milk Cow- 11 days

	6) Flute Notes
Try teaching your Dog by playing the flute. To get the flute, simply be 
friends with Louis. The next day you approach Maple Lake, you would go to a 
scene where Louis would give you his flute. Now you can being to do some 
teaching. Your dog might not listen to you at first but it will later after 
you've got a pretty good relationship with your dog. Here are some flute 
notes.
Lay- Up, Down, Down 
Sit- Up, Left, Down  
Run- Right, Left, Right 
Heel- Left, Right, Right 
Jump- Left, Up, Right 
Bark- Left, Right, Left, Right
You can also use the Run button to "herd the cow"

	7)Fishing
To get a fishing rod, be friends with Joe, and the next day you approach Maple 
Lake, you will go to a scene where Joe gives you his old fishing rod. For more 
information on fishing controls, See. 1.Controls
To fish, press Square, the throw your line. After waiting for a while or 
reeling it in, you might see a D-pad directional button on the hook. Now 
follow it's direction using the D-pad directional button or Analog until you 
catches something. You wouldn't get a lot of things with this fishing rod, but 
try fishing on rainy days, you can get a better chance of fishing for large 
fishes. 

	8)Add Up
There's only two add up in this game

A)Kitchen-  $10,000 - includes utilities(pot, oven, refrigerator, frying pan), 
bathroom and toilet. You can cook now with your new things, once you got up 
from bed, you would see a new door to your right, that's the kitchen room. You 
can cook with different food.(for more information on cooking recipes, See 
9.Recipes)
Although the bathroom and the toilet is useless(won't heal your stamina nor 
your energy, I've tried it before), cooking is the only thing you can use. 

B)Dog House- $5,000 - it's useless, only for better relationship with your 
dog. On a rainy day, you would still have to bring him inside or else your 
relationship drops. You would still have to put a dog food everyday on its dog 
bowl.
