Hint: Get ducks: Buy the pond for 2,500 G. Then, wait until you get married.

Make sure you have room in your chicken coop. Use your sickle and make a two square long path going in a plus side pattern from the fence to the pond. Make sure it remains cut. Eventually your wife will wake you up, telling you that there are ducks in the pond.
Alectricboy.

Go to Takakura and purchase a pond for 2,500 G sometime during the Summer in Chapter 2. Then, wake up later than your wife in the morning. Ducks will go into your pond sometime in the Summer of any year, but you must have room in your Chicken Coop.
Lilpiggy44.

Note: Do not purchase a duck pond in Year 2 or above. You must buy it in Year 1.
Bunniecuz.

Once you buy a pond and get ducks, you may be wondering when you will get ducklings. Eggs will not appear under your female duck(s), but instead be under the chickens. If you incubate a chicken egg, you might be surprised to find that it has hatched to be a duck. Hint: Get a cat: Befriend Romona. Somewhere in Chapter 2 and up, Romona will come to your house and let you name and have it.
AirSoft21491.

You can get a cat sometime in the second year in the second chapter (Happy Birthday). You will get the cat from Romana, the lady that lives in the mansion. Note: You do not need to be friends with her.
Parrotguy719.

Hint: Get a dog: Befriend Carter, the man who works at the dig site. He likes food. Sometimes if you go up there, you will see a yellow thing. Go up to it and zoom in with Z . He will give it to you, but you must give him food almost everyday.
Goat Girl 51094.

Hint: Punish your dog: Note: Do not do this if you put your chickens in the pasture. A mad dog may eat chickens and other pets. Put the dog in the pasture for one season. This works better in the summer because of the heat. The dog may bite you, chase your toddler down to the ocean and bite him, eat your chickens, and/or eat your other pets. Your son will have to go to Dr. Hardy if he gets bitten. If you are friends with Hardy, it is free. If not, it will cost 6,000 G. If you do not have enough you will have to pay off the dept. This may not work on the first attempt.
Saul Hayden.

Hint: Keep dog from being bad: In Year 2 when you get the cat it will eat out of the dog bowl. Make sure your dog also eats

or he will eat your animals, bite your son, and bite you.
AC1D3ARTH.

Hint: Get a goat: Starting in the second year, you can buy a goat from Van. It will give milk once per day for a full season, then it will stop. You can sell the goat milk for 115 G or make goat cheese and butter. The goat cheese and butter sell for 155 G and 150 G. However, you cannot sell the goat.

Hint: Get a horse: During the first summer of The Beginning, somewhere around Summer 8 Takura will give you the horse. He says that you ordered it, then finds out that you did not order it.
Parrotguy719.

Do not order or ship anything through spring and summer and you will get your horse on summer first.
Saul Hayden.

Hint: Calling horse: Press R(2) to calls you horse from anywhere outside to you. TLG888. Hint: Calm angry horse: You can tell if your horse is angry by hugging it. If a heart appears above its head, it is happy. If it snorts, it is angry. Give it an apple a day for several days and its mood will improve.

Hint: Animal deaths: Your animals will die if you keep them in the rain or do not feed them. Soon, your animal will need the "Animal Medicine". If you do not give it the Animal Medicine, it will die.
Ashley Atkinson.

Hint: Wake animals: To wake up your animals whenever you want, just push them from their head until they turn around. The animal should awaken after it turns.
Tom Diamond.

Hint: Cow pregnancy: You should get your cow pregnant when it has been producing B type milk, or when it stops giving milk. If it is the first year, do not buy a bull. Use a different bull. In Year 2 or later, buy a bull.
Legomaniac1000.

Hint: Getting your cows to give you milk: After a year, your cow will stop giving milk. If this happens, impregnate your cow using the "Miracle Potion". It will take thirty days, but after this is done you will get Mama's Milk and she will start giving milk again.

Hint: Tartan: Walk into Takakura's house 5:00 to 10:00. You must be friends with him and he must be in there. Tartan is a talking plant.
Gokujrgoten.

Once you get to Chapter 2 Happy Birthday, you go through two years instead of one. When you get to this chapter, then play the year until Spring 1. Then in the fall on the third day, find Takakura at 5:00 a.m. Befriend him by giving him foods you made. Note: Do not give him any crops because he will not accept them. Befriend him, then on the fifth day in the Fall make sure he does not live. When it is 5:30 p.m. he will walk into his house. Follow him and the intermission sequence with Tartan will start. Make sure do it on your first attempt or you will not be able to get him.

Hint: Golden Eggs: Let out your chickens or ducks every day that the weather is nice. Press A to pick them up then press Y to love them. You must love them every day. Eventually (less than one season), you will start to get golden eggs. Do not put your golden eggs in the Dairy Shipping Bin for Takakura to buy. He will only give you 300G. Instead, wait for Van to come to town and sell them to him. He to will offer you 300G and ask if that price is okay. Answer "No" and he will offer you a larger sum of 360G then ask if that is okay. Tell him "I'll take it".

Hint: Golden Wool or White Wool: To get Golden Wool or White Wool, let your sheep outside then push them by the water trough. Use the brush you can buy from Van and press Y to wash them. Then, cut their wool with the clippers.
AirSoft21491.

Use the following trick to get Golden Wool and eggs more often. Love your sheep, chickens and ducks every day. Press Y when in front of the animal and the heart symbol appears in the top right corner. When it is time to sheer the sheep, give it some extra head rubs and wash it before you cut the wool off. It is possible to get Golden Wool every season from your sheep and at least one golden egg per season.
Smeagol.

If you want Golden Wool, every time you sheer your sheep wash it two times quickly. Then, take the wool sheers or electric clippers you ordered from Takukura and sheer it very

quickly. If it does not work you may not have done it fast enough.

Hint: Easy money: Buy a Seed Mixer and put in any of the fruit from tree crops. Sell the seeds instead of the fruit to make lots more money. For example, grapes sell for about 35 G each but the seeds are worth 450 G each. Get a Seed Mixer from the order sheet or befriend Daryl the scientist. Get one of each tree from Vesta and plant it. When the tree is giving fruit, put all of it in the Seed Mixer. When the fruit turns to seeds sell them to Van. After all the fruit is gone from all five trees and you have turned them into seeds and have sold them you will have enough money to buy a food processing room and a milking room. Note: Daryl likes coins from the dig.
johnandholly7550.

Around the middle of Chapters 1, 2 or 3 you can buy a Seed Maker. Get at least one tree seed from Vesta Farm and plant it in your fields. The most fertile place would be a good location. After the tree has grown, flowers, and makes fruit, take the grown fruit and put it in the Seed Maker. Leave it for three games days. When you return, the Seed Maker will have seeds. Sell the seeds to Van to get a large amount of money. You can also do this to other vegetables and fruits and not have to buy seeds from the farm, which will cut back on the seeds that you buy every season. The Seed Maker will give you two seeds for every vegetable or fruit you put in. For example, if you put one peach in the Seed Maker you will get two peach seeds. Note: You can put a total of twelve vegetables or fruit in the Seed Maker.

This trick requires the Ruby Spice from Ruby. Go to your kitchen and choose any type of food (salad, soup, desserts) and use only one Ruby Spice. You will get another Ruby Spice. Repeat this process until you have 99 of them. Remember to keep one somewhere so you can keep doing this. Each Ruby Spice can be sold for 100 G.
Sepiria Higarashi.

Sell your Fodder to Van when he comes to town for 10 G.

Colt LeRoy.

Sell all of your Milk to Van and reject his first price. He should greatly increase his price. You can also do this with Golden Wool and Golden Eggs.
Dragonball Z.

If you make a mistake on a recipe and get a failed or unknown food, do not throw it away. Van will buy it for 5 G.

Feed your cow good fodder and the milk will eventually upgrade to Grade S.
AEROKEELE.

To make pure profit from your crops, go to Vesta's Farm as usual and purchase the crops you desire. Pay special attention to the price she charges you. For example, if you buy 17

seeds of Crop "X" which equals 50 G a seed, the combined cost of all the crops you want is 850 G. Go back to your farm, harvest the crops, and wait. Once they turn ripe they can be bought for 935 G, for example. You have now already made a profit of 85 G. To totally cover the cost of the crops and pull in an even larger profit, cut your grass outside to make fodder until you have cut 94 of them. Each piece can be bought for 10 G. Sell them to Van, the overweight, red clad peddler that visits every so often. Sell the grass for 940 G. In conclusion, the combined price of the crops and the fodder you sold equals a combined selling value of 1875 G, for a 940 G profit.

First, buy some trees (Bananas sell for the most, then Peaches, Grapes, Apples and Oranges). Plant them in your most fertile field and water them everyday. Next, buy the Seed Maker, then get it, etc. Next, harvest the fruit from the trees (summer: Bananas, Peaches, and Oranges; fall: Grapes and Apples. Then, make them into seeds, etc. and sell to them Van. Orange seeds sell for 410 G, Peach seeds for 560 G, Gape seeds for 450 G, Banana seeds for 750 G, and Apple seeds for 410 G. Note: Only buy one seed of each kind of tree, plant them, and when it is time to harvest, keep about two or three seeds. One fruit equals two seeds.

Once you get the spice from Ruby, you can sell it for 100 G. Go in your kitchen and place the spice in the first spot, then cook it. Make sure that the spice is the only thing that you are cooking. Once you get 99 spices, go to your cabinet in your tool shed. Place 98 of them in there, so you can go back to your kitchen and get more. By doing this, when Van comes to town you can sell more of them and make more of a profit then 9800 G. This is one of the easiest ways to make money. Remember to always keep one spice so that you can repeat the trick.

At the start of game, buy a sheep and a wool shear. Get money by going to the excavation or collecting and selling flowers. After you get a high amount of money (2,000 G or more), buy at least one grape seed and ten fertilizer. Cultivate then get more money (6,000 G or more). If Daryl has not given you a seed maker, build one. Cultivate grapes then place them in the seed maker. Sell them to Van. You will receive 2,800 G or more, depending on the amount that you cultivate. Then, buy more trees. If your money is low, simply cultivate the grape seeds. Then, buy a light hoe and a big watering can. After that, get more money (selling seeds, wool, flowers, wild plants, and things from the excavation). Get 30,000 G and buy a food processing room. Continue selling until you get 40,000 G or more and buy a cow. Buy it good fodder (between 10 and 20). Give it one fodder and one good fodder two times every day. Brush, hug, and talk to them everyday until you get Grade S milk. Then, make butter and cheese to get a money (3,000 G or more). Plantt more trees and when you get the crop, place it in the seed maker. With this you can buy easy the other buildings.

At the beginning of the first year, buy a banana tree. Then, wait till the banana tree grows .Note: You a must have Seed Maker. Collect bananas and put them in the Seed Maker. If you sell them to Van, you will get 750 G per seed. Keep one and grow another

one.
Patrick.

If you wake up at about 2:00 a.m. with nothing to do, collect flowers, mugworts, and anything else you can find. Sell them to Van when he arrives, but keep some for your crush. Do this until you can milk the cow. Then, put away the milk unless you want to open a stand and sell it. Then, go to whoever you want to marry and give flowers, crops, big huchep, and whatever they like. Then, go fishing until about four. Then, go home and milk the cow. If you have chickens, do not get any roosters unless you want chicks. The hens will then lay many eggs and you can sell them.
Jimborre.

Note: Use a sickle to cut your grass if you do not have much Fodder. Go to your barn and get some Fodder out. Put it in your bag. Repeat this until you have 99 in your bag. You do not have to get all 99 at the same time. After you have 99 Fodder with you and cannot get more, put all of it on the shelf inside the tool house. Then, fill your bag again. Once you have 99 pieces of Fodder on your shelf and in your bag, wait for Van to come out. Sell him all the Fodder with you. Afterwards, get the Fodder on your shelf and sell that to him as well. You will make a profit of 1980 G.
hayden camp.

Go to your fodder bin located inside the barn. When it is full (read the clipboard next to the bin to make sure it is at 999), take out 99 Fodder. Sell them to Van. He will buy them for 10 G each.
Austin G.

Collect 120 flowers and give them all to Van the salesman. He will give you 1,000 G.
hippohugs45.

Keep 99 Fodder in your cabinet and 99 Fodder in your bag. When Van arrives in town, grab another Fodder from your bin and carry it with you all the way to Van. Sell all 100 Fodders for 10 G each to get 1000 G, then go home and take the 99 Fodder out of your cabinet to do the trick again. It requires about 2.5 game hours to get each 99 Fodders, but in the long run it is worth it. Also, Fodder is free.

This trick requires Tartan and a Seed Maker. One of the quickest ways to make money is through trees. If you have a little bit of gold at your disposal, start by buying banana seeds (although any tree seed will work). Take any crop to Tartan and hybrid it with an Upseed, then a Gemsoil, and finally a Happy Lamp. The result should be an S-ranked crop that can be planted in any soil and in any season. Take the banana tree seed and hybrid it with the "Super Crop" (banana must be on the left). You now have a "Super Tree". After that tree is planted and you have the fruit from it, put them into the Seed Maker and sell the "Super Seeds" that are produced.

Hint: Easy items: To get free items like a Strange Sickle and a Tumtum, go to the hippy/song writer's house

at night. This will only work slightly after midnight.

Bob Fife Jr.

Hint: More tools: If you become good friends with Vesta (give her flowers everyday) then look for her in her storage room, she will eventually give you the weird hoe. Also, if you become good friends with Dr. Hardy (he likes coins from the dig site) and enter his house when he moves to town, he will give you the weird sickle. Give flowers to Gustafa everyday and when you can enter his house, if he is friends with you he will give you a strange sickle. Also become friends with Sabrina, Kate, and/or Grant (your friendship with one will eventually rub off onto the rest of the family). Grant will give you an alarm clock to help get you up in the morning. Kate and Sabrina both like flowers. Finally if you become friends with Romona, Subastian and Lumina, (Romona and Lumina like flowers and Subastian likes old coins, gold ones only and eggs), Romona will eventually give you a wooden watering can. You can use the tools or just collect them. They are a symbol of friendship with these people.

Hint: Free Seed Maker: Befriend Daryl (the scientist) and wait until you see his trap #2 for catching the monster. When it fails, go to his house. When you enter his house you will see an intermission sequence with him talking about the Seed Maker. He will give you one when he is done talking.
lil zee.

Befriend Daryl, the crazy scientist. To become friends with him, give him Eggs, Light Pickles, Tomamelo Salad, or fish. His favorites are Big Snelt and Nyamame. Then on Year 2, Summer 7, at 7:40, walk into his house. This will trigger an intermission sequence in which he is mad because someone is stealing his inventions like the Seed Maker. This does not work if you order the Seed Maker from Takakura's order form. To prove to you that his is the best and original, Daryl will give you a free one. If the first time you enter the intermission sequence not trigger, leave and reenter immediately. If it has not worked by 8:00, then try again the next day.
Gamer Slinky.

After befriending Daryl, go into his house any day from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. The first intermission sequence will start about using lightning to power the city. Note: This scene might only work if it is raining. Do this again the next day or any day afterwards. Another scene will start about powering the city with solar power. The next day, go to his house at the same time and he will give you the Seedmaker.

Hint: Level S seeds: This trick requires almost a year of patience, depending on where you are in the game. Wait until you have the Talking, Hybridizing plant Tartan. Once you have him, find the seed you want to be "super". It can be a hybrid or normal crop). Then, gather the vast quantities of the following flowers in the corresponding seasons: Happy Lamp (Summer), Gemsoil (Fall), and Upseed (Winter). Once you have all of them, go to Tartan with the

"super" seed to be. One at a time, combine the seed with one of each flower. Once each flower is combined, stop hybridizing and press Start. Highlight the
