Hello im new here i was wondering if anyone knows a way to add a cheat code to reset your child or fix
the "missing child" glitch with a cheat code? i have it on both save files now Sad and it's a game killer for
me, if you have played it you will know what i mean.
Or if anyone knows how i can look it up and add it myself, i thought it was a long shot using this tool
but hey you never know, thanks in advance hope its ok to ask here.
Did you try goggling it. Sorry if this sounds like a dumb answer but it's good to learn how to google search for a quick answer.
Yes i did google it lol, i have been looking into this issue for weeks now there is no fix normally and they wont patch it.
So that lead me to a save editor, but could not edit wii saves so then it lead me to homebrew.
I seen a cheat code app thing and it works great i just dont know to make my own code with it, so i thought i would ask a pro on here for help, i was told to reset her location to default "home map" but idk how..
can you give more details I want to do some hunting for answers also and a little bit more about your sitch will help.
The glitch affect both US and JP version of the game, when you have your first child a cretin event/glitch occurs that makes him/her vanish from the map. it will even affect your second child i hear. natsume says it's not a 100% occurrence so they wont fix it but it's happened to me on both save files now and im not alone like 600 other people as well!
When the child vanishes he/she is in a location called "None map area" basically know-where as in values.
he/she is suppose to appear in your house each morning, people keep talking back and forth but no one seems to know what causes it. It's a really nasty glitch to because you can no longer interact with him/her to raise there heart lvl's or get the new game + goal at the end of your game :(
As i said i looked into it a lot and followed all the tips, i [reset] re-loaded my save over and over (15 times) did
not re-set her. I went to the top of the mine to see if she was there nope, i tried using a friends save file to reset it still glitched. Finally the only info i ever found was a mail i got from a guy saying "edit the save file to reset her" but i cant do that no tool to open it.
More info:
My first game was on save file #3, i was at Year 2 Winter 10. I had two daughters one was a child and one was a baby.
the child vanished on the 10'th but the baby was still there.
Then i looked into this glitch and was told to start a new save file it only affect one [bullshit] i know now.
I started a new game on save file #2 and it glitched on Year 2, Fall 4 this time only 1 child she vanished!
^ And when you search don't confuse this with the event with your "child missing" event, its not that i completed those events with her.
She just vanishes, but still appears in all the cinematics like she is still there but is not...
It takes you a long time to date a girl get married, buy the required upgrades, i did that all normal before i had cheat codes lol so you can see why it frustrates me, i should not to have to deal with this bs but i hope to find a solution soon.
Alright that's good.
If you can't get the save use this http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Savegame_Extractor (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Savegame_Extractor)
One of the posts here http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/960313-harvest-moon-animal-parade/62129525 (http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/960313-harvest-moon-animal-parade/62129525) said two people swapped disks and the child still disappeared. This leads me to believe that it's a issue in the wii's saving not the game.
As for the editing the save I believe that you need to open the extracted save file into a hex editor (I recommend HxD because it's simple and easy to use) and find the missing child's data segment. Or easier compare an unglitched save to yours in the editor and make the changes needed. Don't know where the section is in the file though so it'sup to you to find it.
Then load it back into the wii with this http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Savegame_Installer (http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Savegame_Installer)
Helpful??
I already planed ahead on that part lol, i have a backup save when she was a child the month before so i can compare that data to the glitched file. And yeah its not my game disk i agree it has to be a save bug i have read that before also but others say its a birth error glitch. But it sucks in general.
I will go download that thank for the link, yeah i know where it is i have been researching it as well how to edit the save data the guy mailed me the info on the value to search so i think i will be fine thanks.
Alright good luck. I find that stuff fun even if it rally pisses me off at the same time.

Lmao i know how you feel, it took me over an hour to fin the location she was stored on.
Damn game encrypted it to ë.s.h.l.y.n`idk why but i compared the 2 saves it looks like it
might be a save glitch after all, he location is null and so is her actions.
^ They say its not viable lol, my ass it's a glitch and they should stop making excuses and patch
the damn thing before it drives more customers away.
What was the girl's name originally? It sounds like it could possibly be half-width or full-width unicode. So it's not really "encrypted". This topic discusses the unicode in a little more detail, unfortunately Bully's pictures disappeared. http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.php/topic,9162.0.html
So, were you able to unglitch your save?
Yeah after like 4 hours i finally got her restored, and i have been doing testing on it.
It seems the glitch appears when ever i save more that once within a sew seconds.
I made a backup copy of my save repaired, and have been testing it out and it glitches
like 90% of the time when i double save, which makes sense i used to do that once in
a while because i forgot "did i save?" then did it again and it would appear on my save glitched.
But i am at year 3 now "repaid save" and i only save once a day in the morning no glitch yet.
That's great that it worked. Now if you want to you can make a tutorial on how to fix it so people won't have to go through what you did. Just a susguestion.
