So I’ve seen a few threads about needing more events past year 2 which I completely agree the world just kind of stops which can feel like going 30mph then slamming on the breaks so here’s some ideas I have :D
(I’m going to use alex as an example for most of this as hes the most recent townie that I’ve married so it’s the freshest on my mind) (also my spelling and grammar is bad so uh sorry in advance)
most of these could be something that starts with a triggered cutscene with dialogue where the person asks for advice and the farmer gives it and then the situation talked about could change or stay the same (dusty gets to free roam or dusty stays in his box)
•An actual way to help Willy would be cool like maybe convincing him to hold occasionally randomly timed fishing events so random npcs will gather on the beach and fish or something that would help him grow his business
•Alex taking the time to train dusty so he can walk around the town allowing him to do things like go and interact with other npcs that hang around the area or if the farmer marries Alex dusty could go on the farm and leave with Alex when he goes to town
•the wizard reveals that he’s discovered a weird time curse has been put over the town which is why no one seems to age with few exceptions like a newborn isn’t effected by the curse because of how rapid growth is in that stage but once they hit a certain age they seem to stop aging but no one seems to notice which he thinks is also due to the curse (would explain why no one ages except for farm animals and the farmers children to a certain extent)
•it would be cool if certain NPCs that lost their jobs due to joja leaving were able to find some with the farmers help like getting Shane’s blue chicken business going maybe it would start a farmers market type of thing where people bring some of their cool exotic animals or plants to show off in a event that can randomly be put in a year (could end up allowing for more cool plants or potential pets or even pets that are simply decorative like a bird on a perch)
•actually meeting the wizards ex wife randomly when you go to her hut maybe she’s nice maybe she’s not who really knows her side of the divorce could give more info on the wizards affair and child
•finding people in-trouble needing help like maybe Abby in the mines where you save her from some slimes and offer to teach her some combat skills so then you some times see her practicing or inside the mines
Maybe you find Pam and she’s passed out near the bus due to health issues related to her drinking and that’s what it took to get her to quit drinking and only go to the bar to visit with Gus
•use events to give more of a backstory to some characters that don’t have much of one shown in their heart events like Gus or Willy
•a reaction from a relative or friend of who ever you end up marrying like if you Marry Alex you get a small cutscene with George and Evelyn their reactions depending on how many hearts you have with them (I know this isn’t really a past the 2 year mark thing but it’s weird that people don’t really talk about it)
same goes for having a kid no one acknowledges that they are now great grandparents or grandparents or aunts or uncles it’s like the kids don’t exist outside of the house I could see Vincent and jaz getting some funny dialogue
•it would be nice if your spouse was able to have a job still like Alex being able to still play grid ball he would just be away for a little bits at a time during grid ball season and some times come back and they won the game so he bring home a certain amount of g etc etc because the moment the spouse gets married they kinda just stop doing much of anything and sometimes make comments about how they gave up what they wanted to do but I feel like they shouldn’t have to
