In the very beginning of the game, it asks you a few questions (name, dog's name). When you are tired, just heal at the Hot Spring Pool. Empty it out by facing a bin and pressing Square. You should be able to deposit ore into the Harvest Basket. Bring the Harvest Basket with you to the mine.
The following trick requires the Harvest Basket and the Final Rucksack. The next day the game will state that your wife is gone and you will shake your head. Give your wife many things that she hates (preferably weeds) until her heart turns black, and she has no hears on the start menu screen. Sell the animal, then repeat this process over and over. When you go to sleep, choose the "Exchange Animals" option and have an animal come to your farm from your other copied one. Copy your game on to the other memory card, and go into the game you want to make money. Make sure you have a cow or sheep on your game(adult). To make "quick money", you have to have one game file(And I think 2 Memory cards). You catch this fish at the river that is on your farm, or the small river near the hot springs. 6.Char- To catch the char, you have to have the recipes for Sashimi, Grilled Fish and Sushi. You have to have caught the other 5 fish, and once you have you can catch this fish in Mother's Lake. 5.Carp- To catch the carp, it can be any season but winter. Fish in the ocean and you should eventually get this fish. 4.Angler- To get the angler, go to the beach in the Winter between 11pm and 8 am. You have to have shipped 200 fish, then if you have you can catch this in the ocean. The small fish will be "bait" for one day, so if you don't catch the Squid the first day, you have to throw another small fish in the next day! 3.Sea Bream- To get the sea bream, it can be any season but winter. 2.Squid- To get the squid, take a small fish to the ocean and throw it in.
Then go into the cavern that has a tunnel leading to it and fish with your pole in the pond.
1.Catfish- To get the catfish, dig in the Winter Mine to the very bottom. To view your fish prints go to the start menu. You need the Fishing Pole to get them(you have to have 50 fish in your pond and Greg the Fisherman will stop by and give you the Fishing Pole) You can't keep the fish, but you get fish prints. The Legendary Fish probably help your percentage score. The honey will sell for 50G but if you give some honey to louis the honey will be worth 60G. You can get honey from the nest every day even winter. when they blossem a nest a bees will be in your apple tree. In any season planet some flowers in your garden. If you lose your horse and have a good pasture, you can get another one. Take the basket and leave the cave and bring it back to your farm and put all your minerals in the shipping bin this will give you over 2,000 dollars a day for the winter! To earn money really fast when winter comes every day take your basket and bring it to the mine cave that only opens in the winter and dig for minerals and when ever you get one put it in your basket (do not pick up the junk minerals and put them in the basket because you will not get any money from it) keep doing it until your basket is full. When this is done, sell the animal repeat as many times as needed. Have an animal come in from the other memory card. Go to your diary and choose to exchange animals. Copy the file to memory card two, then play the game on either file. This trick requires two memory cards and a file which has some type of animal (preferably cows or sheep). This will increase your relationship with them. You automatically take him home and talk to Manna. He will say something and then throw up in the jar. Talk to the people there and then pick up the jar on the table and go talk to Duke. Go to the bar one night and Duke will be passed out. If you want Cliff to stay wait until Fall, Duke will come one of those days and ask if you will help him with the orchard say yes and go to the church if not to late and Cliff will be there talk to him and invite him to help with the orchard. Throw them in the water and the water imp will come out and give you the power berry that gives you fatigue -50!This gives you a LOT more energy to work. To get the blue power berry you have to grow cucumbers and save 3.Take them to the lake and stand near 2 lined up trees.
