Gotts' Slump
- Walk into Gotts' house
- 1:00 pm to 10:00 pm
- Any day of the week
- Sunny weather
- Summer season
- Year 3 or later
- Gotts has 3 Friendship Notes (99 FP) or less
Walk into the carpenter's shop and you'll see Gotts acting rather frustrated. He explains that he has lost his mojo; he's stuck in a rut that he can't seem to get out of! Gotts asks that you leave him be while he works on recovering from this slump.
While Gotts is depressed, you won't be able to order construction projects from his shop. You'll need to work on improving Gotts' mood by giving him gifts. Gotts loves Honey (+9 FP), Apples (+9), Oranges (+9), and Lumber (+9 FP). Soon enough, his friendship (and mood) will improve.
Gotts' Recovery
After you have reached at least 6 Friendship Notes (150 FP), return to Gotts' house between 1:00 pm and 10:00 pm on a sunny day in Autumn ONLY. Gotts will tell you he finally got the pep back in his step and apologizes for worrying you. You can then order carpentry projects from his shop again.
When Gotts has less than 4 friendship notes, he locks the front door to his workshop at 7pm. Once you have at least 4 friendship notes, he'll keep the door unlocked until 8pm. You can enter Gotts' workshop from 8pm to 10pm once you have at least 8 friendship notes with him.
