Hint: Easy Money

In the beginning of the game, there’s a great technique you can use to make cash. Head to the empty fields all around you to gather bamboo, leaves and flowers. Collect as many as you can each day for a week (you should be able to collect ten of each per day if you’re quick enough). Especially good places to look are to the left of Cody’s studio, around the dig site, around Galen’s house, or in the area where the Harvest Sprite Tree and Spring are.

Once a week has gone by, head to the shipment box before 5:00 and put everything you found during your expeditions. You can make 10,000 or more if you do things properly!

Hint: Weather Manipulation

If you need to change the weather for an important festival or for another event, try the following. Save your game before going to bed in the game. When you wake up in the game, if the weather isn’t as you wanted it, reload your game, go to sleep again, wake up in the morning and see if the weather is what you wanted it to be. Since the weather is randomly determined, you can repeat this as many times as you want until you get the weather conditions desired.

Hint: Kai's Birthday

Kai’s birthday falls on Summer 22. Give him a pineapple as a present for his birthday and his admiration for your character will rise considerably.
