Most of her heart events occur at 9:00 am at the Clinic Thursday-Tuesday. On Wenesdays at Ellens House at 9:00 am. If you dont marry Elli she will marry Doctor. Once you marry her she will not quit working at the clinic.

When your wife is pregnaught, the day before the baby will be born she will say "The people at the Clinic says the baby will be due tommorow. If the next day is a holiday, the birth will be postponed a day.

If you ignore Gotz for a while he won't make anything for you. To get him to build for you again give him a lot of his favorite items. His favorites are miso soup and farm products.

Some people wonder if anm orangish heart is elli's red heart. It is not.You have to wait till year five (to get married) and in year five, in the spring and summer, on a wednesday, Elli will be at the beach. She will talk to you and ask a question and you need to answer that she is a good big sister. Then her heart will turn dark red. The orange only means that you can buy the blue feather.

To get socks, you must be REALLY friends with Ellen. You will know that you are really friends if she talks about the rare flower that could only be found on summer. Give Ellen any size of WOOL on WINTER and she'll tell you "Oh, thanks! Do you want me to make this a sock ya know. Just come back any time ya hear!?"

Ever wondered what is through the second door in the church? If you give Carter mushrooms every day for a month - fall then you should be able to go through it.

If you drop garbage on the ground, the AP level of villagers will drop. To avoid this, you must discard of it properly. There is a trash can in the Square. You can also burn the trash in your fireplace.

After 8 pm, if you leave your animals outside, wild dogs will sometimes come. If your dog is trained he will attempt to chase it away. Another way to drive it away is to hit it with a tool...like an axe! If a wild dog gets to an animal, the next day it will be unhappy. I have tried this before! Do not try to catcha wild dog in your fence! The next day it will be gone.

After you befriend Harris, he will tell you who he likes. Walk out of your house at 11pm and Harris will be there. He says that he doesn't know if he should tell Aja(Duke and Manah's daughter)that he likes her. Give him good advice and he will like you more. The next night go out at the same time and he will be there. He will say that he told her and that Aja already has a boyfriend.

If you befriend Ann you will learn that her mother died when she was very young. If you go to the Inn on Autmn 5th it will be closed. Go to Mother's Hill and you will see Doug. Talk to him and he will say that today was the day her mother died. Ann gives him a day off every Autmn 5th.

If you befreind Barley you can go to his upstairs. There is another way to go up there without befreinding him though. When the store is still open, go to their backyrd. Stay there untill nightime. This is when you can walk back in and upstairs.

After you have asked Gotz to build everything he can do he will allow you to redecorate. This does not include the Vacation House. You can change the color/shape of the windows, mailbox, or your dogs house.
