Dating and Marriage Guide
Check profiles in Inventory, choose an eligible NPC and build the bond through daily conversation.
Quick answer
Progress from friendship to dating, then marriage. Children, married NPCs and uninterested NPCs are not candidates.
Open Inventory and check the villager profile for the current relationship objective and schedule before making another trip. Follow the active request; after marriage, the v1.2 update moves your spouse into the home.
What to prepare
Use the profile and current relationship mission, rather than an assumed gift threshold.
| Start with | Required items | Where to go | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inventory profile: eligible single adult → conversation with that NPC | Profile, schedule and current mission | Inventory relationship profiles | Dating, then marriage |
Step-by-step walkthrough
- Open Inventory and read the character's profile and eligibility.
- Check the schedule before planning a visit.
- Talk daily to develop the bond.
- When the NPC invites you on a date, follow that invitation's place and objective. Afterwards check the relationship stage in Inventory; talking or gifting alone is not proof of dating.
- Once dating, follow the current proposal/marriage mission. Complete its wedding step before calling the relationship married; a date is not a wedding.
When to start
Attach conversation to a nearby errand so a missed visit does not consume your day.
Materials and bag space
Read any requested gift before spending rare quest materials. Daily gifts are not established as a requirement.
Route landmarks
Inventory → profile → schedule → NPC conversation → current relationship mission.
What you get
Marriage brings your spouse home. v1.2 also fixes spouse gifts and rare spouse-related crashes.
If you get stuck
Cannot find the NPC? Use their Inventory schedule rather than waiting at home. Conversation but no date? Check eligibility and the current relationship objective before buying more gifts; chatting is not completing an invitation. Married but the spouse returns to the old home? Confirm the wedding step, then check your version: v1.2 moves spouses directly into your home.
Version notes
Since June 26, schedules and relationship missions are in Inventory. September 25 v1.2 makes a spouse move home immediately.
Completion check
Check Inventory after each relationship mission. After the wedding, confirm the married stage and visit home; in v1.2 the spouse moves in directly. If they keep returning to their former house, check your game version first.
Read the current request
If the next invitation is missing, check eligibility and the current relationship mission before buying gifts. Follow this NPC's prompts, not a fixed affection number or another character's gift list.
