The Harvest Moon Wiki

Catching critters in Story of Seasons is similar to Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns and Harvest Moon 3DS: A New Beginning. To catch a critter, you don't need to be in a specific year of the game, and you can find them in any season and even in the Safari. Some critters can only be found during specific hours, seasons and weather conditions.
