the theme of being part of a community, learning about the people, and connecting with them never got advertised to me. I found it too easy to automate the animals and crops and I'm giga profitable. Therefore all I have left is to finish 4 items in the community center and collect 35 of each villager's loved items if I were so compelled.

Great game, but the ratio was more people-centric than farming-centric for what I expected/hoped for.
