Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life is a farming simulation game where you inherit a run-down farm and must make it profitable, start a family, and develop relationships with your neighbors. The main difference is that the player character is now female, allowing you to choose a husband and have a child. You can also change outfits and use a mirror in the house to track your hunger and sleep needs.
The game is divided into six chapters, but it will end after the first chapter if you don't get married. This game is similar to Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life , with the main difference being the female protagonist. If you own Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town for the Game Boy Advance, you can connect it to this game to unlock extra bonuses.

Inventory
Your rucksack has ample space for all your tools, produce, and other items. It can hold up to 350 different items across fourteen pages.
•
Use the L and R Buttons to scroll through inventory pages.
•
To quickly access your rucksack without opening the full inventory screen, press the X Button. Then, use the Control Stick to spin through your items.
Button Guide
The button guide in the upper right corner of the screen shows the current time and a button diagram. Your command options change based on your location and actions.
Consider Your Options
Button options are dynamic and can change depending on the tool or item selected in your inventory, or your location on the farm or in the village.

Changing Button Choices
Observe the button guide as you approach objects like doors or animals; specific words will appear over the buttons. You can also change these choices by equipping tools or items from your inventory.
The button guide helps you discover new uses for items. The "show" option is particularly useful for learning the likes and dislikes of boyfriends and neighbors.
If you're stuck, the red B Button generally cancels out of button guide commands. Some activities, like dog training, may take a moment longer to cancel.
Farm Buildings
Your Barn
The barn provides shelter for your sheep, horse, and cattle on rainy days.
•
Gather food from the fodder chute on the left wall and fill all feeding bins.
•
Check your animals' health on the chalkboard at the back of the barn.
•
A sign next to the fodder chute indicates how many fodder servings are left in your silo.
•
The isolation fence and other important equipment are along the back wall for raising livestock.
The Toolshed
Takahura stores his tools along the left wall of the toolshed. You can borrow his heavy tools until you can afford your own. There is also space for future fishing rods.
Your Food Storage Room
The center storage bin is for dairy products. The basket on the right is for produce. You can also store cooking ingredients in the freezer at the back of the room.
To the left of the dairy shipping bin is a ledger and tool order form. Point at Takakura's head to order feed, tools, fodder, or livestock, or to sell livestock.
To sell crops and other produce, place them in the basket on the right. Remember to save some seasonal produce for new recipes.
Along the right wall, you'll find a cabinet for storing seeds and musical records. This is also where the special seed making machine will be located later in the game.
Your Chicken Coop
Keep your chickens fed and dry in the chicken coop for valuable golden eggs. You'll need to buy one hen and one rooster to start. One serving of bird seed lasts several days for most flocks.
Hoof, Fluff & Feather
Cows
Healthy adult cows can be milked twice daily. Milk quality and value depend on attention, brushing, and good fodder.
Sheep
Sheep require less work than cows. You can't trim and sell their wool as often as you sell milk. Equip your brush near the trough to wash your sheep for better wool.
Chickens
You need one rooster and one hen to start a flock. More hens are needed to produce eggs. Selling extra roosters for profit may make the entire flock sad and unproductive.
Keep Your Livestock Happy
•
Talk to and hug your animals each day.
•
Place fodder in every food bin each day.
•
Purchase a brush and brush your cows and sheep daily.
•
Press the barn bell to call animals outside on sunny days.
•
Keep your animals inside on rainy days.
•
Don't disturb your animals while they're sleeping.
Planting for Profit
Cultivating your fields carefully leads to big profits. Most crops grow through two seasons and wilt after harvest. Trees grow year after year, but other crops must be cut down.

Plan and Plant Big, Water Often
Check the soil in your fields and sow seeds in the most fertile areas. Expensive crop seeds can yield valuable produce but may grow slower.
Before planting, till your field soil with a hoe. For quality produce, use fertilizer on your crops for several days after planting.
Crop Circles
Young sprouts are prone to wilting in dry soil. Summer is the most challenging time to keep the ground damp, but two waterings per day should suffice on warm days.
Shortly after sprouting, most crops will grow flowers. This happens faster in fertile soil. Continue watering any light dry patches.
Plan to water after planting new seeds. Dark ground indicates damp soil, while light brown soil can cause small sprouts to wilt. Watering is not necessary on rainy days.
After flowering, most crops grow green, unripe fruit. Stand close to the plants and use the "look" command to examine them to determine when they are ready for harvest.

Tips & Maps
BEYOND YOUR FENCE
Before you explore, feed the animals and water your crops. If you get lost the map below will help you find your way.
FORGET-ME-NOT-VALLEY
This is a list of places in Forget-Me-Not Valley: Your Farm, Romana's Villa, Spring, Carter's Dig, Wally and Chris' place, Pyrotechnical Twins, Blue Bar, Vesta's Farm, Cody's Studio, Daryl's Lab, The Inner Inn, Turtle Swamp, Gustafa's Yurt.
YOUR FARM
Compare your farm with the other digs in Forget-Me-Not Valley and you'll quickly realize that your place is almost palatial, but with your wide open spaces comes plenty of responsibility.
THE FARM
This is a list of places on your farm: Pasture, Barn, Tool Shed, Food Storage, Takakura's House, Chicken Coop, Your House.
INSIDE YOUR HOUSE
This is a list of items inside your house: Bedside Table (Sleep/Save Game/Memo/Assets Book), Television (Weather/News/Horoscope/Variety Shows), Cooking (You begin with soups and salads), Calendar, Bookshelf.
Notes and configuration options!
If you can't shake the game tunes from your head, consider changing the record on the phonograph in your room. You can find records in the Tool Shed and you'll find another one later in the game.
SEASONAL BOUNTY
Crops are everything when you're starting out your farm. Certain produce only grows in specific seasons and all depend on fertile soil.
SEEDS, SEASONS AND REASONS
This is a list of seeds, their seasons, and cost: Tomato (Spring-Fall, 30G), Watermelon (Spring-Summer, 60G), Strawberry (Fall-Spring, 30G), Melon (Summer-Fall, 50G), Turnip (Summer-Winter, 20G), Potato (Winter-Spring, 40G), Carrot (Fall-Winter, 30G), Yam (Fall Only, 40G).
MAKING MOOLA
How you develop your farm is up to you, but most successful operations focus on a combination of the best tools, highest grade seeds and the happiest livestock.
SELL YOUR ANIMALS?!
Unless you're flat broke and need a dozen animal medicines to save your herd or flock, don't even think about selling animals to raise money.
FERTILE FIELDS
If you examine the soil in your fields you'll find that some plots are more fertile than others. Crops grow faster in rich soil, so focus on raising your seasonal produce in the fertile spots, then use fertilizer and plant trees in the poor soil.
SELL OUT OFTEN
Check your calendar to see when Van is in town. Van buys practically anything, including those fish you stacked in your freezer.
Enemies & Characters
MARLIN
Marlin seems like a grump at first but talk to him enough and you'll find that he's shy-until you talk to him about anything agricultural. Win his heart with prepared meals like curries and soups, or medicine to revive his stamina, but don't serve him anything with tempura.
ROCK
Rock makes it clear that his idea of fun doesn't involve farm work. Win his heart with old coins, statue relics, delicious quality cheese and butter (as long as it's not churned from goat's milk), but don't scare him away with creepy looking fossils.
GUSTAFA
Hitting the right chord with Gustafa is tough because he always seems aloof with everyone but Nami. Win his heart with ores, flowers, or unusual old statues, but he's not into anything related to fish or fishing.
