SDV pet peeves

[Yogurt_The_Cow]

Hi everyone! If you're looking for a place to share your Stardew Valley pet peeves, you've found the right spot! It can be anything from marketers on the forums to Marnie and her seemingly more important microwave! This whole idea is for a laugh and not meant to offend anyone… Have fun!

My pet peeve is that there are only 8 friendship hearts with the bachelors and bachelorette. It should be 10 hearts like anyone else, and then unlock a further 2 hearts for dating.
Why can I be better friends with people I can’t date?
It looks so unsymmetrical.

Robin and Clint raising prices after Year 1. Which totally makes sense as the Farmer has been flooding the market with Crops and Artisan Goods and Forage and Minerals, so inflation should be bonkers. But apparently it only hits wood and stone, not Ancient Fruit Wine somehow.
The Henchman should at least be a friendship candidate and of course IMO should be more but that's just a me thing.

When I try to get out of a building and a villager tries to enter... of course the will not move -_-
Same for the pets blocking my way on rainy days inside the house

There are no bathrooms. I'm pretty sure Linus is the only one who ever relieves himself. It drives me crazy for some reason. XD

Abby marries the farmer, becomes a mother of two, and still, winning the egg hunt is the most important thing to her.

It's the empty after-marriage spousal interaction that pushed me to write more to fill that gap. However I find talking to Emily at the "right" times in the day to be pretty interactive. There are a few "hot" times to get different dialog throughout the day from Emily (and I assume all other spouses):

6am - 11am: morning dialog, sometimes with a gift
11am - maybe 1pm: late morning dialog
maybe 7pm - 9:50pm: evening dialog

I try to find Emily every day during those hot times to get all the daily dialog and you know what? Just putting the effort into finding her (especially in our huge, cluttered house with many hiding places) kinda makes getting all the dialog it's own minigame. And when I miss the dialog because reasons, I'm disappointed kinda like IRL. It makes game marriage more interactive.

And it feels more alive. IMO it works to keep married life a bit more interesting.

I hate that no one comments on your children. Why is no one saying “Awww I saw Tommo Anne and Alex walking today and they are so cute

Yeah, I feel that way with Leah on my PC save. But on mobile my wife is Penny, and because she's most of the time outside working, spending time with her friends or herself; and I'm basically out all day, it works for me; I have things to do, Penny has things to do, two birds, one stone.
Of course a relationship it's more complex IRL, but for a game I can't be that picky... except for the lack of bathrooms (I think a shower could be nice as a way to recover some energy)
