Gotts
The local carpenter can build improvements on your farm such as farmhouse upgrades, improving your crop field quality, or even expanding your fodder storage. Gotts lives in the forest area south of your farm.
Gotts is the self-appointed guardian of the mountain. His spouse and young daughter died on the mountain during a snowstorm long ago. Now he patrols the area to ensure nobody else suffers the same fate. That's how Brandon came to live with him; Gotts found the lost sculptor collapsed in the forest.
His name was Gotz in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.
IF GOTTS WILL NOT WORK ("I'm sorry, I don't feel like working anymore..."), then you have triggered the Gotts' Slump random event. Raise his friendship to at least 6 music notes and then walk into his house between 1pm to 10pm during Autumn season to motivate him back into doing his job.
Birthday: Fall 2
Schedule: Though he runs a carpentry shop, Gotts doesn't stay put at his shop every day of the week. In the morning he leaves his house to patrol around Mothers Lake at 8:00 am, returning to his house around 11:30 am. From there his schedule changes depending on the day of the week:
- On Sundays he goes to the Mother's Hill summit at 1:00 pm, returning home at 4:00 pm
- Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays has him inside his house all day long
- Thursdays and Fridays are when he takes a mid-day break in the forest around his house from 1pm to 4pm
- His shop is closed on Saturdays, so after his morning patrol he goes into town and visits Mayor Thomas' house (10 am to 12:30 pm), then the general store (1 pm until 4 pm), and then finally returns home.
