Named after the Harvest Moon: Friend of Mineral Town - True Love Edition romhack









This is a patch for Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns that allows the player to romance any bachelor or bachelorette regardless of their gender! It's NOT a sprite swap!

​

Features

Gender restrictions for dating characters has been removed

Most of the game's dialogue has been edited to ensure the player is referred to and treated as their proper gender

Various love events have been revised to suit a same-gender player Ex: Kasumi's dark blue and yellow events

You can choose any bachelor/bachelorette at romantic festivals

Some events have completely new original dialogue added for same-gender relationships Ex: DLC event "Chatting With Friends"

A rainbow in the main title screen!

Compatibility with Trio of Town's free v1.1 update, and compatibility/edits for DLC-only events

Compatible with the 3ds emulator Citra

Optional patches: Recolors for the player's wedding attire A gender switch for Inari to make them the same gender as the player Compatibility for the Hamtaro & Cheburashka Restoration Patch (only available on that ISO site due to copyright)



Installation Guides ​

LayeredFS:

LayeredFS is no longer supported as an installation method as of v5.0 of TLE. Instead, this patch has been merged with Trio of Town's free 1.1 update CIA (USA only).



If you're updating from v4.2.1 or below you'll have to remove the old patch files from LayeredFS for Trio of Towns.

HANS:

Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns isn't compatible with Hans and there is no working method to get this patch on your 3ds without CFW. I highly recommend installing CFW using this guide



If you don't want to install CFW, you can use the 3ds emulator Citra on your PC.

TLE CIA:

Go to "that ISO site" and create an account if you haven't already; you'll need an account to view and search threads If you don't know what that site is, google it. Please don't ask or link to the site here, it's against the rules to share it. Search for "Trio of Towns True Love Edition" and go to the thread I've started Download the patch from the second link I posted below the OP If you're using the Hamtaro & Cheburashka Restoration Patch go into the "Hamtaro Compatibility Patch" folder and apply the base xDelta patch to the TLE update CIA If you want to use any of the optional patches apply ONE xDelta patch to your TLE update CIA If you're using the Restoration Patch, use the optional patches in the "Hamtaro Compatibility Patch" folder When you're done applying any xDelta patches, put the CIA in your SD card and install it via FBI If you're using citra navigate to file -> Install cia and install the update. You'll have to get the base game on your own. You're done! Enjoy!



xDelta Patch:

If for whatever reason the above guide did not work for you, you can use this installation method instead.​

Spoiler: xDelta Patch Guide Download RainThunder's upload of Trio of Town's 1.1 update on "that ISO site" (not the dlc just the free update) If you don't know what that site is, google it. Please don't ask or link to the site here, it's against the rules to share it.

The xDelta patch will only work on this specific CIA, it won't work on your own dumps or any other uploads of the update Download the TLE patch if you haven't already and extract the contents inside the "xDelta Patch" folder to the same location of your CIA Before applying any patches run WinMD5 and select your CIA file Verify that the checksum value of your cia is the same as the following value, if it's not you have the wrong CIA file and the xDelta patch will corrupt it MD5 Checksum Value: 52e1505367d5b0dadb78eee64254a30c

If you're using a Mac or Linux you don't need WinMD5, you can use the command "md5sum <File Name>" in a terminal If your CIA's the right file you can move on and open DeltaPatcherLite.exe If you're using a mac you can use MultiPatch instead of DeltaPatcher Enter your CIA as the original file and enter the "TLE Base Patch.xdelta" file as the patch Apply the patch and you're done! If you would like any of the optional patches open the "Optional xDelta Patches" folder and apply one patch to your CIA with TLE, not your original CIA Read the "README.txt" file for a list of features in every optional patch and screenshots of the recolors are in the "Previews" folder Now you can either install the CIA to your 3ds with FBI or, if you're using Citra, you can navigate to File -> Install CIA and install your update Since this is only a CIA of the update for Trio of Towns, you'll have to get the base game on your own

Building the CIA:

This guide details how I rebuilt the 1.1 update CIA with TLE merged in it. If you were able to use one of the installation methods above then you do NOT have to do any of this.​

Spoiler: Building CIA Guide 1. Get a CIA of Trio of Town's 1.1 update by either dumping your own copy with GodMode9 or other means

2. Decrypt your CIA with GodMode9 or Batch CIA 3DS Decryptor

3. Download Ctrtools and Makerom as well as and , place all files in the same place as your CIA

4. Use whatever terminal you'd like to use Ctrtools and Makerom, I recommend using a copy of cmd.exe that's placed in the same folder as your CIA

5. Open up your terminal and enter these commands one by one: Romfs Builder and Exinjector

Code: ctrtool --contents=contents "<Name of CIA>".cia ctrtool -p --exefs=exefs.bin "<Name of biggest contents file>" ctrtool -t exefs --exefsdir=exefs --decompresscode exefs.bin ctrtool -p --romfs=romfs.bin "<Name of biggest contents file>" ctrtool -t romfs --romfsdir=romfs romfs.bin ctrtool -p --exheader=exheader.bin "<Name of biggest contents file>" ctrtool -p --logo=logo.bin "<Name of biggest contents file>"

6. if you haven't already download TLE's patch files and extract the contents inside the "Patch Files" folder to the location of your romfs and CIA and overwrite

7. If you are using or planning to use the Hamtaro & Cheburashka Restoration Patch go into the "Optional Patches" folder and move the files from the

"Hamtaro Compatibility Patch" to your romfs folder and overwrite.

** If you haven't already also take the files from the restoration patch and move them into your romfs folder and overwrite. ​ 8. If you want to use one of the optional patches, read the "README.txt" in your romfs folder and follow its instructions for whichever patch you want

9. Open Romfs Builder, choose your romfs folder, and rebuild your romfs naming it "romfs.bin"

10. Open your terminal again and enter these commands one by one:

Code: makerom -f cxi -o tle_update.cxi -rsf SoSToT_update.rsf -target t -desc ecapp:3 -exheader exheader.bin -logo logo.bin -exefslogo -code exefs/code.bin -romfs romfs.bin -icon exefs/icon.bin exinjector -rom tle_update.cxi -exheader exheader.bin makerom -f cia -target t -content tle_update.cxi:0:0 -o tle_update.cia -minor 2

11. You now have a CIA of Trio of Town's 1.1 update with TLE!

12. Install your TLE CIA into your 3ds with FBI or if you're using Citra navigate to File -> Install CIA and install your CIA (You'll have to get the base game on your own)





How To Know The Patch Is Installed:

If installed correctly, the title screen should now have a rainbow in the background, and all of the bachelors and bachelorettes should have the flower showing their FP by their names.

Talk to a candidate of the same gender of your farmer to check if the patch is working.
