Hi there! Thank you for your report and I'm sorry for the delay in response.
May I ask did the "It's a Date!" achievement didn't appear in the in-game achievement list as well?
Can you let us know which NPC that you've been dating and married? Thank you!

[normal nexus]

It did not give me it in the in game badge list, either. I dated/married only Yuri

[modern panther]

I see. Do you still remember the in-game date and time when you date and married to Yuri?

[normal nexus]

I'm not sure on when we started dating, marriage was definitely winter year 1 maybe the 25th?

so it looks like it also took a long time to proc the "got married" achievement

[modern panther]

Alright, I'll add that to the note and relay this to our team for checking. Thank you!

Game Version: v1.1-1198 on PS5
In-game date and time: Spring 18th on year 3 around 15:40

I wanted to give Mark the locket on his birthday, he accepted and i gave him 2 Shiitake in osmium quality as gift afterwards to push the relationship a bit.

Then the "The Best Of Friends" trophy triggered, ingame and on the PS. I was suprised because i did not expect to get to 10 hearts with him THIS fast.

However, the "I'ts a Date!" trophy did not trigger, i thougth it might pop after sleeping but nope.

I will replay the backup from the day before and try to unlock it again, maybe i can share some more infos afterwards, i could try make a video too, if that helps.

Edit: here's the video, same day but earlier and another place, hope it might help. I went to sleep after this, the trophy did not pop after the review.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your report along with the video and screenshot! I’ll make sure to pass this on to our team. Oh, and congratulations on your relationship with Mark!

Hi Rachma,
i made another test in the morning and i thought i will give him a present he 'just' likes after my proposal because i wanted to avoid to trigger the The Best of Friends achievement again and it worked!
I went to bed directly after i gave him a Green Smoothie and unlocked It's a Date at the end of the day.

So maybe there's a problem when you trigger both achievements on the same day?

Oh, and congratulations on your relationship with Mark!
Thank you! I was so sure i will go for Rafael when i first met him, then i met this rude guy and his heart events made me want him pretty badly in the end 😍

Update: I replayed that day multiple times now. I was not able to trigger the badge 3 times in a row, I don't know why. I did what I normally do, care for the animals, look for the underwater crops, propose to Mark without hitting 10 hearts, watch multiple heart events (i had about 4-5 on the last unsuccessful try), go fishing and go to sleep at 23:50.

I did a last try on this and went nearly straight to Mark, I just let the animals out before. Made my proposal, gave him 2 Shiitake (normal quality) and went to bed again at about 8:50, maybe even earlier and the badge was unlocked the next morning. So it looks like there is something on my daily routine that causes the problem.

I'm finally able to reproduce it.

1. Wake up and buy the Locket in the Online-Shop
2. Get 2 osmium Shiitake from a chest in a shed.
3. Fast travel to the underwater farm.
4. Search for Mark on the map and catch him near the Pufferfish building.
5. Propose and gift him the 2 Shiitake
6. Fast travel home and go to bed
7. Unlock "The Best Of Friends", "It's a Date" does NOT trigger

If I do the same but don't travel to the underwater farm, both badges are unlocked the next day.

Hi hi! Thank you so much for retesting this issue multiple times for us and keeping us updated. That's really helpful ✨
Do you happen to have a video of your step from point 5-7 by any chance?

[acoustic latch]

Not now but I will make one for you when I'm back from work! Do you need a vid from the "working" version as well?

[modern panther]

Oh, did you mean like farming, mining or fishing activities? If you think that Fast Traveling to the underwater farm is causing the issue, you can send a video of it without working activities recorded. Thank you!

[acoustic latch]

Ah, no i meant if you need a video of the version where the badge is unlocked after sleeping.
I did no fishing or other time consuming things on those 2 last tests, i realy just did what i described, so it took just some minutes and i was in bed again even before 07:00 i think.

[modern panther]

Ah! Yes yes! You can send the version when it's working too. Thank you so much.

Unlocking only "The Best Of Friends"

Unlocking "The Best Of Friends" and "It's a Date!", made the videos as short as I could 🙂

[modern panther]

That's really helpful! I'll bring this to the team to replicate your steps here. Thank you so much, Achduschreck!
