Talk daily before gifting; the conversation tick is free progress.
If romance is available, stop at 8 hearts before the bouquet unless you intend to date.

Common mistakes

Hated and disliked gifts for Penny can wipe a week of talking. When unsure, open the villager card and confirm the exact item name. Use the on-page links to jump straight into the matching JunimoSphere tool instead of retyping names from memory.

Do not gift from a stack without reading the tooltip name.
Universal loves still fail for a few villagers — verify per person.
Festival days can move schedules; if they are unreachable, save the gift.

Verify with live tools after every patch

Stardew patches can rename objects, retune prices, or change gift rows. JunimoSphere rebuilds catalogs from the game Content extract, so the linked hubs above are safer than memorizing a static article table.

If a number on this page disagrees with the live card, trust the catalog, then send a correction with the game version and the exact item or villager name. That keeps Sphere Signals aligned with the extract revision shown on /methodology.

Open the linked catalog card and confirm the ID/name.
Check /news for patch notes that mention the system.
Report mismatches via /corrections with your game version.
