How's the Cottage Living so far?

Update. My Groom-to-be brought his intended Bride to the festival, where he entered a chocolate egg of Excellent quality. She suggested that he help out, due to his nature, so he decided to accept a Challenge, two, in all. Suddenly, after watching her parents acting as two of the judges, I presumed, the festival came to a close. Nobody was declared the winner. I'm disappointed. Did I miss something? I will take them to the next festival, just in case. But he lost a perfectly excellent egg with nothing to show for it. Not even an honorable mention. Sheesh. What's up with that?

As for the challenges he accepted, he's running into all kinds of problems reaching the goals. Can't find the spicy mushrooms, the food store booth is closed, and apparently the river he fished in wasn't the correct one. :open_mouth: After he caught three fish, the goal wasn't fulfilled. Is this borked? Or did I have him fishing in the wrong location?

Still enjoying the game, but being patched again just yesterday has me a tad leery. I use mods. I'm taking a chance continuing to play with them in place, but it's not as if I've never had to restart before. Yikes.
