Nope that is exactly right. Nope that is exactly right.

Are the only other happiness influences event-related? e.g. person comes to farm, talk to them, get happiness.

The only other happiness influences I have noted as of this moment are through events and then all of the animal related happiness increases noted in kirbyarms animal mechanics guide.

I haven't played this game for many years and felt like checking into my old stomping grounds. Seeing all these new discoveries about the game is... quite extraordinary Stuff happens. Don't be discouraged. Wait a minute... What does this happiness meter even do?I haven't played this game for many years and felt like checking into my old stomping grounds.

User Info: HM64Purist HM64Purist 4 years ago #8 Having 250+ (max is 255 as with affection) happiness is one of the requirements of the party photo that must be met during the evaluation event. Also there's a minor bit of dialogue with your father in that event that requires 220+ happiness. AFAIK that is all it does. It is not hard to max, you'll probably max it without even trying. The only way I can think that someone would not have it maxed is if they bought a ton of bakery goods for lottery points and instead of gifting or eating them they threw it all on the ground.

That is actually how I discovered that the Happiness Meter even existed, by dropping a fish.



Luckily it was stumbled upon, as that could have been a hidden value that mysteriously ruined some party picture runs.
