Fishing is one of the ways to increase Pete's Happiness Rating

Happiness is a hidden statistic in Harvest Moon 64 that plays an important role in collecting one of the photographs and contributes to Pete's overall completion percentage. It starts at 0 and can increase to 255. Many things can affect happiness, such as triggering village events, animal health, and other activities.

The simplest ways to increase happiness are as follows:

  • Using the bathroom in house (+1 Happiness)
  • Catch a fish (+1 Happiness)
  • Chase the birds in front of Pete's house/pond (+1 Happiness)

There are multiple ways to decrease Pete's happiness, but the most common one is throwing away an edible item and destroying it upon the ground.
