It SUCKS that your kid-ness is so limited in MFoMT! ARRGH!!! I did not spend a LOT of my time wooing Cliff for a decoration on my bed! I have a secret set of improvements I made up, and if anyone wants to see it, respond to this thread in the next two days. Please let me know if any of these were added in HM:DS. Thanks!

Please forgive me, I'm slow today, reeeeaaaal bad.

Soooo sorry, Neosuki, let me explain. By improvements, I meant ways to make the child system better (i.e: Have a child that does not remain a toddler forever.) You may be confused by "decoration". I am currently at the point before your baby learns to crawl, and she just sits in the bed all day long. This makes me VERY annoyed. By the way, here are the first two items on the list. (I will probably post two a day, unless I don't get through them all before the long weekend ends or you beg me for more. I will provide "translations" just for you, Neosuki!)
I. Birth and pregnancy
There is a certain probability of different births as follows:
Boy: 25%
Girl: 25%
Twins: Boy & Girl: 25%
Twin Girls: 12.5%
Twin Boys: 12.5%
In other words, if you give birth 8 times, the most probable configuration is as follows; 2 of those will be girls, 2 boys, 2 twin boys and girls, one girl set of twins, and one boy set of twins. Pregnancy occurs if your husband has 10 hearts for one entire season, and you will give birth 2 seasons later.
Translation: The child you get will be random (likliness stated above), and now you may have twins. You can get pregnant if your husband has max affection for 1 season, and like before will give birth 2 seasons later.
II. Child Development
At first, development will be similar to the current dynamic; two seasons of infancy, two seasons of crawling, and then it (or they, as it may be) learns to walk. But, here are my additions; Two seasons after that, the child learns to talk. Then, two seasons after it learns to talk, the child gains the ability to do chores; first one day a week, then increasing one day every year. (As you probably know, all development is related to taking care of your children. This is covered in more detail in the next section.) In this way, the children will take on a role similar to that of the Harvest Sprites; their capacity for chores depends on their experience and affection for you. P.S. You'll need to buy minature watering cans and wheelbarrows for the children to use. Also, the children will get taller as the years pass by.
Translation: In the beginning, it's the same: 2 seasons after it's born, it learns to crawl, etc. But then it learns to talk 2 seasons after it can walk, and then it can do chores. Chores work like the harvest sprites; they do better chores if they have experience and affection. The number of days a week that chores are done will increase one day a year. You will need to buy miniature tools so that they can do the chores. Older children will also get taller.
I hope that you enjoyed that, Neosuki! Please respond, or else no more!

Yeah, I think Marvelous should have put a bit more thought into the child designing during the process of the game...
Off Topic: Thanks HM<3Angel for the List. It's cool! I wish the children were like that.(lazy child)Thanks for the translations also.

You agree with me, Nekosuki! Yay! Here's some more.
III. Child-care
Children of all ages can be hugged. If you plan on having children, an extention to your house will be needed where they sleep and such. There will be different beds; some cribs, normal beds and bunk-beds for the twins. Babies should be hugged every day, and infants should be hugged as well, and it is a good rule to give gifts at least once every two weeks. After that age, hugging is not nessecary, but will cause the children to love you more. All the older children should definitely be talked to and regularly gifted.
Translation: Finally, you can hug your kids! There'll be a house extension where the kids sleep. Babies and infants (the ones that crawl) should be picked up every day, and the older children should be talked to every day, but you can hug them too if you want. Children should be given gifts every few weeks.
IV.Child sickness
If children are ignored (i.e, not given the hug/greeting they should have every day) they will be unhappy, and unhappy children don't do chores. (Children younger will be traumatized, and never do as many chores as they should.) If they are ignored for two whole weeks, they will get sick, and you must buy child's medicine. If you ignore them for one more week while they are sick, you will have to pay for surgery, which is VERY expensive. If you ignore them for one more week while they need surgery, they will die. If any of your children die, the townspeople will dislike you for TWENTY YEARS.
Translation: If you ingore your child one day, they will become unhappy, and won't do chores. Younger children will be traumatized, and do less days of chores than their age says. If you completly ignore your child for two weeks, they are sick (buy medicine: reasonable price). If you ignore them for a week after, they become very sick (pay for surgery: VERY expensive). If you ignore them one more week, they die. Townspeople will dislike you for a VERY long time if this happens.
Say, Nekosuki, did they add any of this kind of thing to HM: DS? Tell me if they did, please!

Wow...I don't think I could live with myself if my child died. Imagine what the husband would say! 
On HM:DS I don't think that they had all of that stuff. I just know that your child can grow up. I'm not sure if you can interact with it like on AWL.
I know you can talk to it and give it gifts.

Yeah, but they already had that part in MFoMT. Besides, child death would probably never happen. BTW: by "talk" I mean more than "goo-goo-ga-ga" Here's some more things to cheer you up.Nekosuki wrote:I know you can talk to it and give it gifts.
V. Rival Children
If rivals get married, they will reliably have a child every 5 seasons, alternating between boys and girls. You can choose to let them play with your kids once they are old enough to talk, which will make the children and rivals both happy (purple hearts all around). The rival children will matter even more in section X...
Translation: None needed (I hope)
VI. Birthdays
If you give a child a gift on their birthday, they will of course love you more. Children may, if you let the rival children play with them, have birthday parties once they are old enough to talk. The rival children will come with gifts. Birthday parties must have some kind of dessert, made by you. Children will also be invited to rival birthday parties, and you must let them go and give them a gift to give to the rivals. If you both have and go to birthday parties, the children will all have blue hearts for eachother.
Translation: Only confusing part is "dessert". You must cook something that qualifys as sweet; ex: cake, ice cream, etc.
More coming soon.

Yeah well if you put child death in the game it might make the player a little more responsible.(I hope)
That would be cool to have your child play with the other children. But what about May and Stu....?
I wish the rivals could have children, but sadly only your farmergirl.

Woah, the rivals are very fertile. A kid every 5 seasons?
Posted: Nov 09, 2006 1:44 pm
I know, isn't it awesome! Of course there are some negative affects to it also... Too many kids for poor Popuri.Lilangel wrote:Woah, the rivals are very fertile. A kid every 5 seasons?
The Kappa and the Goddess must have released the fertility they were holding from the townspeople.

I can totally imagine Popuri as the white trash barefoot and pregnant stereotype, with babies popping out more often than necessary.

Oh, thanks Lilangel for that scene. Ugh.Lilangel wrote:I can totally imagine Popuri as the white trash barefoot and pregnant stereotype, with babies popping out more often than necessary.
Well right now I feel real sorry for Kai. Poor Kai. Then again he probably loves it.
Posted: Nov 09, 2006 2:22 pm
Maybe I'll change it to 6 or 7 seasons or something...It hadn't occured to me how much that was. Or maybe it could be different for each couple? E.G. The couples that got married b/c they are in love (like Popuri/Kai) would have children as often as I said, as opposed to the couples that are really just good friends that like eachother and married so they could be closer (such as Gray/Mary) might have one like every three years!
Posted: Nov 09, 2006 2:36 pm
Oh yeah, that sounds like a good idea. For Ann/Cliff though I think it should be at least 6 years before they have there first child because, Cliff just doesn't seem like the type to go for it. He might want to wait awhile.HM<3Angel wrote:Maybe I'll change it to 6 or 7 seasons or something...It hadn't occured to me how much that was. Or maybe it could be different for each couple? E.G.

The Farmergirl just doesn't know when to wait. It's like 60 days!(i think)
