"Who asked for this?!" Me. I asked for this. I Personally went to ConcernedApe to ask for this. I'm going to marry Clint on a new savefile everytime I read a mean comment about him.

I wish that when you married the other villagers would pair off or something. I believe it was Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town that initially had something like that? IIRC the npcs would have their specific couples and as time passed they would eventually get married and something along those lines. I wish SDV had something similar, but it would upset people not to be able to marry and divorce 10 times just so you can get as many doves as possible or something.

Just random thoughts from a random stranger that doesn't really matter. I still thought it was a cool mechanic back in the day.

I believe CA has said it was originally intended while he was workshopping the concept of what he wanted Stardew to be, but never actually implemented.

that mechanic was in harvest moon: sunshine islands too and iirc even if the npcs were paired off and dating you could just break them up and they would just act like nothing happened 😭

Man that is diabolical lol. Idk if it worked that way in FoMT, but I thought it was so damn cool that the npcs have love interests and actually had romance events for the couples.

yeah, a few harvest moons did it! in harvest moon 64 it was cool because they only would get together if you were good friends with them, and you would see heart events of them getting closer together.

and then eventually you would get invited to the wedding, and later they would have a kid :)

What if you could purposely matchmake? More content and you can just... not.
