Abigail was tailor made to bait me into playing the game, to be honest
By now, I feel weird going for those that feel barely out if their teens. I like Leah and Elliot. I love creative types and those who work hard to pursue their passions, even in the face of adversity. I also like that they still pursue their passions when they live with me. Others have felt kind of empty after moving to my farm. One time I chose Krobus over marriage, no regrets there either.
I’m an Emily kind of guy. Abby’s a close second.
I usually romance Leah because I like her vibe, and I appreciate how easy it is to just give her foraged items
Leah for the difficulty, Abigail is my usual
Leah is so easy! Driftwood every day. I get that shit for free.
I just gave her salads
look at Mx. Moneybags over here affording salads in year one
2 salads a week isn’t hard I’ll use wood next time thanks for the tip
I think I’ve romanced Maru and Abigail the most often
Penny. She seems sad about her situation with her mom, and then becomes happy after moving to the farm.
Shane - I really like him, even his messy room. He resonates with me overcoming his issues, and I like what he says. He’s very sweet and kind!
Plus he moves his chicken to your farm and sometimes he hugs it - I’m a sucker to NPCs that love animals.
Also you can fix him
In my first playthrough I choose Leah and I still think that was a solid choice. But I never setteled on one partner.
Currently I try or rather plan to romance Penny.
Abigail or Krobus
Alex.
I’m a trans woman with a problematic attraction to any man who would’ve bullied me in high school.
Before you ask—yes, I am aware this is the only reason anybody ever marries Alex.
Nah, I’m pretty sure some people romance him as a man to see a dude come out of the closet and his grandpa change his mind on homophobia.
Yooo is that actually a storyline in the game? Cutee
If you check the wiki or just trust the random stranger on the internet you’ll find it is indeed a storyline in game!
Alex’s page, forget where it is tbh
George’s page, check Quotes
I think https://tvtropes.org/ will also back me up on this.
That’s so wholesome 🥺 thanks!
No idea but I somehow feel like it would be on brand for SDV. The Shane progression surprized me.
Penny. I appreciate that she is a good person from the get-go, even if her attempts to be nice can sometimes put others out (we’ve all made mistakes with the best intentions). I feel like her romance plot improves her life the most if any of the villagers, though I do wish she had more to do after marriage. She wants to get out of Pam’s trailer, only to hang around the farmhouse all day instead?
Polygamy mod with abi and Leah. Can’t split them up.
If going the mod route probably Sophia too
I’ve put quite some hours into the game but haven’t pursued anyone romantically yet. Do they help on the farm if you partner up?
Spouses do end up doing chores sometimes, but if I recall correctly (maybe this was updated away) sometimes they end up “watering the crops” when you have sprinklers do it all or something like that… it is unintentional but usually by the time the farmer is ready to propose marriage they are also far enough in the game the chores they do around the farm will not always be helpful.
Leah or Penny. Both have personalities that match my current partner.
