    Koi-lect Them All!
    Make the fish appear in the pond.

    Originally posted by Prof. Avalanche:
    Collecting all ponds did not work for me.
    It's not about collecting the ponds.
    The crafting recipe for the Koi Serenity Statue is tied to Ema. After completing her fish statue, she gets the idea for a koi statue and plans to talk to her boss about creating it. The crafting recipe became available for me a few days later (1st day of next season). I placed the crafted statue and one simple pond in the community garden and unlocked the achievement the next day. Not sure if the pond is necessary. Hope this helps.
    ⚠️ (unfortunately I am unable to test this further as I already have the achievement unlocked; any information would be truly appreciated)

    Stack a snail on top of another snail.

    Unlock this achievement by stacking three decorative snails.

    Collection

    Tools But Better
    Collect all tool variants.

    (for advice and emotional support, scroll down a bit)

    https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3197475857
    💡 Advice.

    If you have completed all statues and feel hopeless doing the postcard requests, don't give up. This achievement is very 'grindey,' keep completing the requests and eventually you will collect all tools.

    Not sure if this is a game feature or just an unbelievable coincidence,
    but in my gameplay I've noticed that items from each set were all received from the same people.
    For example, all Rainbow-Mermaid-themed tools were received either from completing Frank's statues or from Frank's requests.
    Same applies to Easter-themed tools, which seem to be Ema's.
    Halloween - Leslie's, Christmas - Laurie's, Valentine's - Jasmine's and Marcus'.

    I've also noticed that it is wise to accept and complete requests from characters that have tool variants you require (e.g. I had all 6x Ema's Easter-themed variants unlocked, therefore I opted out from doing her requests to save time and resources; and since I had 4x Rainbow-Mermaid-themed tool variants, I focused on doing Frank's requests with hopes of receiving the remaining two tool variants from the set, and that indeed happened a few in-game days later).

    Well, that is all.
    Shared my findings and observations.
    Hope this helps you on the path of getting all tool designs.
    Please do consider dropping an award or a kind word, this encourages me to create content for the community. Thank you!

    does the watering hose count as a watering tool for the acievement
    Arienlys 14 May @ 7:00am 
    Thank you for this guide!

    i just finished the 'tool but better' and it seems that the requests from the mailbox are little subquests themselves. the last i needed was from marcus and i couldn't make it pop until i realized that one request from Laurie involved helping marcus. Doing it and passing the day unlocked the last tool so... yeah, no choice but doing every requests...

    For the pests, it seems that the more flower we have in the garden, the more high are the chances that they will pop.
    I'm not sure the bug hotel affect them, i still don't know that it suppose to do (but i believe it's for the seeds)

    (and sorry for any mistakes, english isn't my first langage)
    Iqra 22 Apr @ 10:24pm 
    so all my pests disappeared before i got to make the "Pest Control" achievement. I don't have any weeds in the garden and the bug hotel is turned off... not sure how to get them to come back so I can spray them :/
    HuntMaiden 19 Apr @ 4:28pm 
    On Moisturize Me! does the hose/sprayer not count as a watering tool? I've gone nearly 300 days, using the sprayer or can nearly exclusively, and still don't have this achievement.
    Does it count each plant, or each day/time you 'activate' the tool? Other than counting manually, is there any way to track your progress?
    Lyana 9 Feb @ 9:09am 
    For the tool quest, it's not that random. Quest do need a specifique type of plant/variant. If you are stuck, try discovering new plant/variant and a quest will eventually appear the next morning in your mail box with the new discovered plant. You can only accept 5 quests at a time. New mails won't appear if you reached that limit.
    GreyFox 24 Nov, 2024 @ 9:50am 
    You can buy them in the shop. I bought them in autumn.
    Tsukuyuuki7 7 Sep, 2024 @ 12:27pm 
    Does anyone know where to find the toadstool chairs and tables? Leslie doesn't seem to be selling them and I can't craft them. I'm done with Robin's list and they want to host a party.
    Morning Marie 14 Apr, 2024 @ 10:51am 
    Having troubles getting pink rose seeds, any tips?
    omgkitteh 13 Apr, 2024 @ 9:13am 
    To add to the fish achievement, you need to unlock "Pale Pink Lily" variant as well, as one of the materials you need to craft the statue is pale pink lily cuttings. After I made a flowery fish statue and unlocked pale pink lily variant, I unlocked a plan for Koi statue itself. Pond is not needed.
    omgkitteh 12 Apr, 2024 @ 8:34am 
    @Hex: Mommy, you need to plant X amount of flowers they want in your garden
