Just give Gotz flowers (or other presents) everyday and he'll start working again (you don't have to wrap them).

he is on a quite mode, anyway give him honey,crops,milk,cheese,eggs,mayo,wool,or yarn for about 1-2 seasons and check up on him in his house each day its a event, when he goes bck 2 workin

it doesnt happen by affection, it happens to everyone. it could happen on ur 1st year, it could come on ur 100th year. its just that gotz is "not in the mood" for working. just give him stuff like flowers, honey, maybe some sweets like cookies or cake, visit him some times, and he should get over it in a few seasons.

ive been through that 2...he wouldnt do work 4EVER!!! the only way 2 make him work again is 2 give him a peice of lumber on his b-day...trust me, it works

you stopped buying from him.
just give him gifts everyday.
