Mistel’s are in a different format than everyone elses’. Kamil’s first events are tagged “Cam” because I’m too lazy to change them. And then I just stuck with “cam event medley” for his yellow event.

HMDS Cute's hidden Bachelor

Before I start, this is going to get rather long and there’s a number of images, but hey, it’s actually harvest moon related as opposed to a number of the text posts in the tag, right? 

So hi there! I’m here to tell you about a bachelor in Harvest Moon DS: Cute that is often overlooked since he has no face.

As he’s a bachelor, I can assume you can’t really do this if you are already married.

For those of you that have played Harvest Moon DS: Cute, you will remember that from the phone you can call May’s Tailoring over in Mineral Town, a tailors set up by the grown up version of the young girl May from (More) Friends from Mineral Town. It’s been almost a hundred years since the events of (M)FOMT, and May is long gone, but the shop is now run by someone else.

What a lot of people don’t seem to know however, is that this person is a boy named Mason, the grandson of May.  (and yeah I just realised Mason sounds like May Son kill me) Every five things you buy from the tailors unlocks a new conversation with Mason, and over about 8 of these, you start to learn more about him. 

(This is pic heavy so please be aware! I’ve numbered them for your convenience,)

The first conversation, as you can see above, doesn’t really go well. You can’t think of anything to say, and he hangs up. Buy 5 more things and call him again, and you unlock a new conversation. Mason can be very quick to woo, I managed it in a single game day, but our boy ain’t cheap.

The second goes a bit more smoothly since you actually have something to talk about this time. (And I have no idea what he means by “why do you hear such things”, I’m guessing it’s another one of Natsume’s infamous mistakes and it’s supposed to be “why do you want to hear about such things” or something) Again, it takes another 5 items from the shop for another conversation. You’ll probably find yourself buying the wallpapers over and over again.

It seems Mason has a thing for cooking, but has been made fun of by the other boys in Mineral Town for it.  (This is the first time so far he’s hinted at his gender. You don’t even find out his name until the proposal scene.) Again, Five items later…

In Japan, people with blood type O are said to be confident, hard-working and optimistic, but can also be cold, unpredictable and workaholics. That’s either what our MC was looking for or she’s a vampire and was scoping out what blood type he was to see how tasty a snack he’d make.

Here we learn a little about Mason’s family and his attitude towards them, Someone’s obviously put out by being left behind to look after the shop by himself.

Again, more information about the tailors and Mason’s family, proving that he is the grandson of May from (More) Friend’s From Mineral Town.

Since he’s probably the only one there now, he can obviously sew and cares a lot about his products. (That and he’s the one that comes up with the cute little names for everything,)

He’s very proud of his wallpapers and his names for them what a cutie

Basically the closer you get to him, the sweeter he gets. This was his last conversation before the proposal, and the penultimate conversation you can have with him.

Saying yes to the Tailor boy will make the credits roll and take you back to the main menu, and back to the last time you saved. 

Say no, and while you’ll still be able to buy things from his shop, you’ll never had another conversation with him. 

So that’s it really. There was a thread about this on Fogu back in 2011, and they made fansprites and fan heart events of him. (Personally, I don’t really like their version of Mason. They made him shy and awkward and more like Cliff, when he always struck me as a bored introvert who was amazed that the MC wanted to talk to him)  http://www.fogu.com/hmforum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=136011 Here is the thread if you want to check it out.

More tips for starting out ( some are repeat)

“I owe many of these to the user BigBangBaby on the fogu forums, as well as from other users who either played the Japanese version or got “Story of Seasons” earlier than the release date.”

Starting A New Game

-Save 5 Turnip Seeds from Spring. It can become hard to get them after Spring. You need these to create the Seed Maker Shed.

-Save 5 Bricks, or at least work on stockpiling some Bricks from Swimming. You need these to create the Seed Maker Shed.

-Save 5 Iron, or at least work on stockpiling some Iron from Swimming. You need these to create the Pitchfork Tool.

-Save 5 Milks for one of Elise’s Rival events.

-Try to create the Seed Maker Shed very early, as it can be hard to win the Harvest Festival on the 30th of each month. Having a Seed Maker Shed means that you can not only use your Fertilized Crops to make Seeds that start at a higher Star Level, but you can also use the Composting Bin to create more Fertilizer. Just chuck weeds in there!

-Save all the Wood and Stones you find.

-Try Swimming and Diving when you see an “!” every day in order to get 5 Bricks and Iron, as well as other useful items.

-You can save before Swimming and reload if you didn’t get the items you were looking for.

-Try Swimming under the bridge to access more “!” Diving events each day.

-Try Jumping in suspicious areas to have a 30% chance of finding useful items.

-Fertilize and save Fertilized crops for Seedstock.

-Only water the crops you’re Fertilizing once per day. This will make the crop grow slower but you will be able to Fertilize it more.****edit** watering crops once per day rather than twice per day is only efficient in single harvest crops. If it’s something like bell peppers and sweet potatoes, watering twice a day is fine because you can harvest it and add fertilizer again. you’ll have more crops faster and they will still go up in quality.*****

-Entering a “Fresh” Crop into the Harvest Festival will increase its chances of winning.

-To get Peaches in the first year, make sure you plant a Peach Seedling on or before Year 1, Spring 10th. This will give the tree time to grow and flower during Year 1, Summer.

-Give gifts and talk to the Villagers. This will let you see events. Try and see all the Rival Farmer events as fast as possible. Light Spoiler: Some of these events are not available past Winter of Year 1, so make sure to befriend your Rivals!

-If you have extra farming space, grow some plain old trees. You can craft various items with the wood you get from chopping them down after they’re fully grown.

-You can see every Villager’s affection level by hitting the “L” shoulder button when you’re standing near them. An icon will then float over their head. This will scale from the patented BokuMono “angry swirl” all the way up to “hearts”.

-Keep your livestock Stress Free, or else it will run away and hide in the town! If you still don’t lower its Stress level, it might get sick and even die!

-Eat at Raeger’s Cafe. Not only can you restore your Stamina, you can also get Cooking Recipes from him once you’ve gotten a Kitchen and all the Basic Recipes. You need to eat there about 130 times to get all of Raeger’s recipes, and the game keeps track of it for you, so the sooner you start, the better!

Story of Seasons:  Bachelor Flower Events

Translated from this Japanese wiki Wording of responses may not match up exactly with the official translation, but order of choices will still be the same.

Other translations:  Bachelorette Flower Events | Presents for Bachelors | Presents for Bachelorettes | Presents for Townspeople

Flower Colors and Affection Points are as follows: Grey:  0-9999 Purple:  10000-19999 Blue:  20000-29999 Green:  30000-39999 Yellow:  40000-49999 Pink:  50000-59999 Red:  60000+

For each bachelor, you can trigger grey and purple events only when you aren’t dating anyone.  Instead of a blue event, you can confess to them or trigger their confession.  If you turn them down, you can confess to them later after meeting the listed conditions.  

Yellow and pink events can only be triggered for the person you’re dating.  Instead of a red event, you can propose to them or trigger their proposal event.  Like with the confessions, if you turn them down, you can propose to them later after meeting certain conditions.  

And now!  How to trigger all the bachelors’ events:
