If you could add one thing

If you could change, add or fix one (or more) thing(s) about harvest moon DS what would it be?
Personally two things:
I wish there was a note-taking system to help remember those weird clues and hints
I also wish that you did need to restart from level one every time you wanted to mine something.
Whats yours?

It would be cool if you could have pigs as well.

Ya it just seems so obvious why didn't they include that?

You can have them in Magical Melody wii.

Buying the clock would upgrade the time display in the bottom right to show each minute pass by... I did read the Telling Time post earlier, but let's be honest, a minute display would make things more convenient, especially when timing for mini-games or staying in the hot spring.

I was thinking the other day how useful that would be.

Because, pihs are the only animals reared purely for meat.
I'd get rid of the sprite/marriage thing. Its so boring...

It takes way too long. It's easier in other games! You should have to get to the last floor of the second mine to get the blue feather or something like that, like in (I think) ANB.

Hey, here's one!
How about....make it NOT SO FRICKIN' GLITCHY TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN LOSE ALMOST A (GAME) YEAR'S WORTH OF WORK?
...Sorry. But on a more light-spirited note:
-Eliminate the need to collect 60 Sprites...or at least make it a smaller, more manageable number before you can get married.
-Have rival marriages (and children would be nice)
-Shortcut to Keria's room so you don't have to go through the floors every time

Rival kids would be awesome! Is it ToT where that happens?

It does happen in ToT.
And a few other games, as well. I think HM64 was the first to do it (all the babies have adorable animal outfits). Animal Parade does it as well.
I think there are more examples, but I can't think of them.
I feel like it wouldn't take so much effort for the developers to add rival children. They could just use the same look of your child, but with the bachelorettes' (or I guess wives'/mothers' in this case) respective palate swaps. So they wouldn't have to design new looks for the children. They'd just need to add dialogue, which would hopefully help distinguish each child. Like, maybe they could take after their parents.
In addition, maybe some of the children could be girls. That would be a nice change. Personally...I can see Muffy and Lumina wanting daughters, though I'm sure they'd be good with boys, as well. Just theorizing.

I think that Griffin would want a daughter, no idea why!

I agree with getting rid of the glitches, that is the main detail I'd want changed DX.
But other than that it would be nice if:
-They removed the "Same" option the the High/Low double up game
-Got rid of the animal killing requirement for the Witch Princess
-Made the Chicken Festival a sumo thing like in the Mineral Town games
-They did something to make the private island more worthwhile
-Added shortcuts to certain levels in the mine

Pigs can be used as truffle hunters or pets as well. So they are not always kept to be eaten.

Thats another thing that would be cool; being able to use your animals and level them up. Though thats alittle like pokémon.
