HARVEST MOON: PRIDE PARADE RELEASE V0.2b (update)

Finally! A mod to let you marry your favorite same-sexed Bachelors and Bachelorettes in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade for the Nintendo Wii!

This mod replaces the Male playable character models with the Female ones and vice-versa.

FEATURES:

Play as a ‘guy’ and marry the Man of Your Dreams, or play as a ‘girl‘ and marry your one and only Best Girl.

All outfits have been swapped, so changing out of the default outfit shouldn’t break anything.

Graphics for stamina bar and map screen have also been replaced.

Dialog for bachelor and bachelorette heart events, marriage, and childbirth have been re-tooled to fit.

Game Title ID changed from RBIEE9 to CBIEE9 to be compatible with GameTDB integrations. (Thanks, @sgibbz​!)

Dolphin replacement texture pack to fix Logo and Load Screen Character Portraits. (Temporary solution until I can edit those TPL files reliably)

WHAT’S NEW:

Nothing has changed other than the inclusion of Patch v0.2b. This alternative patch should correct the issue that many people have run into when attempting to install the mod. Please try version B if the original patch did not work for you.

DOWNLOAD:

Fresh Install: (Recommended)

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

(mac) multipatch

the patch (see above)

An .iso of Harvest Moon: Animal Parade for Wii (I can’t provide a download link.)

HOW TO INSTALL:

Run multipatch(mac) or xdelta UI(windows) (the screen both give you should basically be the same)

Select your patch file that you downloaded where it asks for a patch file

For “source file” or “file to patch”, select your Animal Parade .iso file

Choose the location/filename to save it as. Anything is fine as long as it ends in .iso

Run the patcher!

The file that it spits out is playable immediately!

For the dolphin pack:

Unzip the folder you downloaded to your Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Load\Textures\CBIEE9 folder

In Dolphin’s “Graphic” settings window, click on the “Advanced” tab

Check “Load Custom Textures”

(hopefully this link will no longer be needed. please let me know if the v0.2b patch works or not before you try this old “fix”)

SCREENSHOTS:

TO DO:

Any screenshots of dialog you find while playing that needs to be changed would be a huge help! Send ‘em my way if you find any!

KNOWN ISSUES:

I’ve gotten reports that the mod may not work on an actual modded Wii. I will look into this, but finishing the mod first is my main objective.

All animations are still tied to the ‘original’ gender.

Some of the dialogue/text has not been changed, such as some events and the names and descriptions of the outfits.

Children may still refer to you by the wrong name (i.e. “mom” for the male character). I think I’ve figured out how to fix it, but haven’t implemented it yet.

This version still contains the awkward, unfinished version of Julius’s rival heart event. I apologize for this.
