Hack description

Since Intuitive Ranch Master patch removes the infinite night, this patch is intended to extend day time, and removes the 1 hour increment when transiting to ranch/town/mountain. Now, 1 hour of the game time will be about 80s in real time (depending the emulation speed).

You will need to patch the original rom with:

Harvest Moon - Intuitive Ranch Master With All Fixes And Credits Restoration v2.4.3.ips

After, apply this patch.

It does what it sets out to do even if it costs a bit of the experience.LittleCoin2022-09-05Version 1.0

This is a hard one to recommend. It does what it sets out to do, at the same time, I feel the game has too much day time and it kind of waters down the experience.

The patch is to be used with "Harvest Moon - Intuitive Ranch Master", a patch that already adds a few minutes to the day alongside not skipping an hour on transitions. I'd say stick to only that one for a more balanced experience.

For new players: Play half spring with this hack and keep a patched and a non-patched version of the game. If you feel like you've got too much time on your hands, try playing the second half with the non-patched version to figure out what you prefer.
