I read somewhere that it takes like 500+ hours, is that in the right ball park, I know playstyle will effect playtime but as an approximation..? Also to unlock the tropical country within like 4 years would you need to have 100's of fields growing constantly to meet all the reqs?
Well in my very first file, I didn't really know all the requirements, how to spend my days or how to make easy money early on so I actually didn't unlock tropical country until year 5. Once I knew everything to do my second file, how to make a fast profit, and knowing I can buy and sell back items from merchants and merchant request, I went into Spartan mode. I spent my first year growing tons of flax (and cotton once I made my outfits for tropical) and I had every leased land crops, crops in my green houses and on my farm, and just went full on farm maniac xD (making sure to take advantage of what merchants and Otmar sold that was beneficial towards tropical and ice) I unlocked tropical country in year 3 (I want to say spring or early summer) on that file. It really depends on what you are growing and spending your time on also. Um but I really have no idea what that would be real time. I'd say depending on when you go to bed, an in game day will be around 14-18 minutes real time.
