Ending

The game will end after two and a half years. Your parents will come on summer 30th of year 3.

There are 20 possible endings. You cannot get all of them in one playthrough as some of them have conflicting requirements. If an ending has multiple requirements, all of them must be met. After the game ends, you cannot continue with that same save file.

There is a button combination you can do that will let you see the ending right away (no matter where you are in the game). Immediately after writing in your diary to go to bed, press and hold L + R + Select.

Ending Evaluation

After the credits, the game will evaluate your progress. It will tell you:

  • The amount of money you have
  • The number of cows and chickens you own
  • Your maximum stamina
  • The number of tomatoes you have shipped
  • The number of corn you have shipped
  • The number of potatoes you have shipped
  • The number of turnips you have shipped
  • Which cow has the highest affection rate and how much
  • Maria's affection rate
  • Ann's affection rate
  • Nina's affection rate
  • Ellen's affection rate
  • Eve's affection rate
  • The type of house you own
  • Your ranch's developing rate (aka how much of your ranch you have covered)
  • Your happiness rate
  • Your Ranch master rate (your overall score based on the above criteria)

Requirements to get a 100% Ranch master score

  • Have 99,840+ G
  • Own 12 cows
  • Own 12 chickens
  • Have 200 stamina (find all 10 Power Berries)
  • Ship a certain number of tomatoes, corn, potatoes, and turnips. This is bugged. If you can sell 496 - 511 OR 1008 - 1023 OR 1520 - 1535 of each crop, you'll get the best ending text. You receive 1 point for every 16 crops sold, with a maximum score of 31. Once you reach 512 or more of a crop, the game resets your score to zero and begins the count again at every 512 crop interval. Thus, if you sell the 512th or 1024th or 1536th crop, you won't get credit for this one.
  • Have 200+ affection for all cows
  • Have 496 - 511 affection for all 5 girls. This part is also bugged as you would need to actually lower the affection of your wife.
  • Have the largest house upgrade
  • Have the clock
  • Have the turtle shell
  • Get married
  • Have two children (the second child does not have to be born)
  • Cover the entire ranch with grass, crops, or fence pieces
  • Have 900+ Happiness
