There are geysers that shoot you through the ceiling yet you don't care.
You can drink as much wine or beer as you want and not act drunk.
Every building is within walking range of your house, so cars aren't necessary.

Hah. You do too get sick. :P

I like how you have eternal youth in most of the games.

i love that you can have your husband call you anything. i had him call me '« Baaaa *glomp* »' in one game

also, while you're pregnant, he still doesn't help with the farm work.

How is that better than real life? Unless you mean that you can still do hard work and it dosn't affect you while your preggers.

LOL. I agree. Nice JM.
Also. I know spouses who do call their wifes/husbands « Baaaa *glomp* ». That's not really better either. lol.

I like how easy it is to cook good food. And you don't gain weight from eating too much of it.

=D These are funny. You can get drunk in Harvest Moon for N64... you go red and flop over. I don't remember if you actually faint from that, though...

I love petting wild animals in ToT and picking them up in other games, since in real life animals all hate me after 2 seconds. And I can't cook in real life but I can actually make edible food in HM. =3

I like that you can give birth and be back working in the fields an hour later, like in Feudal times or pre-revolutionary China (The Good Earth, anyone?).

I had Marlin call me "Master".

I had Rock call me Master when I married him I also name our son Bolder. Rock - Bolder I thought it was funny.

You can throw grass, curry powder and rice into a pot and something edible comes out. Nothing edible every comes out of a kitchen I'm cooking in, in real life.

Nobody could actually tell that you're pregant.
Food never spoils.
Everybody is a nice person
Bombard people with food they like and they fall in love
You always get something rare when you mine
You never get hurt
You never grow old
You don't need to eat
You don't need to bathe or other hygene filled tasks to look pretty
You can to talk to a « Harvest Goddess »
Elves sometimes help you with your work
Everyone can cook!
Time doesn't pass in certain areas.

But what I don't like about HM is that you don't get a break, no honeymoon, maternity leave, nothing!
