I like this farming/life simulation a lot. It is not as deep as for example “Graveyard Keeper” but I didn’t mind that at all. I didn’t have to write everything I needed down to complete the task, just wrote down a few things, but it is less than an A5 paper. This game has the achievements you expect in a farming/life simulation game: Find X items, Plant X items, Date X people, Make X money… stuff like that. There is no good guide available but most of the achievements are really straightforward. I’ll note below some of the things I used to get this game to 100%:

Making X money with trading: I made an expensive mountain seed with the trait that you can plant it everywhere. When I got the auto sprinklers I made some plots with those, started all the sprinklers around 7:30 am (they water the plant every in-game hour, but only if you’re outside your house. To set them all around that time it took some in-game days. After I had that setup, every summer morning I woke up and run outside my house. Opened my map to watch when all the plots I used had been watered and go back inside to go back to bed. I planted all my seeds on the same day so once in a few days, I had to run to my plots to harvest the crops and plant new ones. Watch out not to reset a sprinkler’s time when harvesting the crops.

Making an animal/plant with X traits: Wait till you have the option to combine seeds or animals. After that start at the last part of the DNA to find combinations to give it the trades you want and keep making new seeds till you’re at the start of the DNA string.

Dating 7 people at the same time: I didn’t go above 8 hearts with anybody before I had unlocked this achievement. Keep talking to everybody who doesn’t have enough hearts yet. Not every person in the game is okay with you dating other people.

Getting married and make a baby: I did this one after getting the achievement for dating 7 people at the same time. After I got that I broke up with 6 of them and married with one. To be able to get a baby you have to be married and sleeping at your partners’ house. After some days (I think it took around 10-15 in-game days for me) your partner will tell you he/she has some special plans and want to see you at 6 PM. That is when I got the option to make a baby. I had a female character and married a male. Not sure if it works with 2-woman/2-man relationships.
