As part of my hair and eye texture project for HM: AP, I included most of the gimp files I used to create the customized texture sheets. Those can be found here:
HM: AP Modder Resources
These files include all the hair and eye colors that I included in my texture pack, each on a separate layer of the image. These can be pasted onto other images or hidden/shown to overwrite the texture image files. Anyone is free to use these as a jumping-off point to create more hair and/or eye colors or to make other edits to the character models, such as different facial features or skin color.
At some point, I will try to fully explain my process of making texture mods for Dolphin and Citra emulations for beginners.

my favorite pictures of flug gotta be these collages of flug, it delights me so and also makes me realize "woooooooow... that's alot of little green men doodles ive done..."
a guy shoots at me with a sniper rifle and I catch the bullet in my teeth and eat it, but he saw that coming and put poison in the bullet, but I saw that coming and drank an antidote ahead of time, but all those weird chemicals still give me a really bad kidney stone a few days later and I pass out from pain and crash my car into, by pure coincidence, the sniper

Tale of Two Hearts is here! AAAAAH! I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. Download links are in this post.
With this mod installed, Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns will continue to be the game you know and love... but queer. 🏳️🌈
Date, marry, and start a family with candidates of the same gender
Rewritten pregnancy and childbirth scenes for non-fertile couples
Alternative scenes available for trans-inclusive pregnancy
Various text edits to reflect candidates' new sexualities
Corrections of a couple typos and portrait usage errors found in the base game
Changed "fisherman" achievements to "angler" to be more gender inclusive
Howard is now nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns
Alisa acknowledges that she's asexual
This mod can be installed with Citra or LayeredFS. For both methods, you must already have a copy of the North American English release of the game. (ID: #0004000000047900)
For Computer
Download, install, and set up the Citra 3DS Emulator.
Make sure your game's installed and runs properly.
Unzip the mod. The password is LGBT.
Move the two folders ("exefs" and "romfs") into the appropriate Citra mods location as described in Citra's official mod installation guide.
Tips:
The game runs best at native resolution. Attempting to upscale with Citra will cause ugly gray outlines and broken sprites. Skip the opening video; for some reason, it doesn't play well on emulator. These are known issues with emulating this game and are not caused nor solved by the mod.
When viewing your game library in Citra, right-clicking on the game will give you various shortcuts specific to that game, including a link to the game's mods folder.
For 3DS
Jailbreak your 3DS if you haven't already. Here's the simplest, most straightforward guide I've found.
Install LayeredFS on your 3DS. If you followed the above guide, it'll already be installed.
In your Luma settings, make sure LayeredFS mods are enabled.
Unzip the mod. The password is LGBT.
Move the two folders ("exefs" and "romfs") into the appropriate LayeredFS mod location as described in LayeredFS's patch installation instructions.
Tips:
You're going to need access to an SD card reader. Most laptops have an SD card slot. It looks like a thin rectangle.
Your 3DS comes with a card inside a slot labeled, "SD Card." On my device, it's on the side near the circle pad.
For Both
When installed correctly, you should see two folders in the game's mod directory called "exefs" and "romfs." If the mod directory is the game's ID number, you know you're in the right place. If installed incorrectly, the mod won't do anything.
You'll know it's working when the game's title screen has changed. There's a big rainbow like the one pictured at the top of this post.
If you ever want to uninstall the mod, just delete the files from your mod directory.
Google Drive
Main Mod
MEGA
Alternate Pregnancy
The masc hero will be able to become pregnant and the fem hero will be able to impregnate her wife. To use, first install the main mod and then this file. Let it overwrite files in the main mod.

I found an issue. What do I do?
Let me know. There's bound to be typos and other mistakes in any large project. Dialogue errors found in the unmodded parts of the game are also acceptable submissions. You can shoot me a message via an ask or DM.
Send a screenshot and a brief description of how you got there. If you also send me your save file, I'll be able to deal with it faster.
I don't want to make people download a million new versions of the mod, so once I collect a decent number of fixes and/or a reasonable amount of time has passed, I'll release an update.
Is this compatible with previous saves?
Yep! This mod doesn't affect saves. However, because of the way the mod works, while installed, your character will effectively be swapped with the hero of the opposite binary gender. In other words, if your character is a straight woman before installing, after installing, your character will become a gay man. Upon uninstalling, your character will be a straight woman again.
Is there a way to continue an unmodded save as the same gender?
No, not unless somebody figures out how to safely edit the saves.
How can I show appreciation?
Send me a message! Sweet messages are always appreciated and keep me going. 💙 Feel free to tag me in posts showing how you're enjoying it. If you should feel so inclined, I've also enabled tipping on this post, however tipping is completely voluntary and this mod is and will always be free.
How do I get Citra/Luma/LayeredFS/whatever software to work?
The appropriate guides are linked up in the "Installation" section.
I can't unzip the files! It's asking for a password?
Read the "Installation" section.
Where do I download the game?
From the Nintendo store. While I am in support of ethical piracy where creators aren't hurt, I won't supply another answer.
Can you add X feature to the game?
You can ask, but the answer's probably, "Not without a great deal of work," which I likely won't take on unless I was already planning to.
How do I mod X game?
Every game is so different that I can't tell you, however GBATemp is a great place to start.
I wonder if somewhere out there in the world, there's another person who's wanted a mod for Harvest Moon: A Tale of Two Towns where the player is allowed to be gay.

updated yet again! i’d like to figure out a way of putting a link to this in the blog’s bio but im a disaster at theming and also i dont have full admin privileges and what not >:( i had a co-mod who originally started this blog but they vanished about two years ago unfortunately still listed as the main blog owner! i will sort something though cos i realize how unwieldy it is to have this big nebulous post you have to search for every time you want to find hacks. also i think the blog’s theme is in need of an update anyway!
EDIT YET AGAIN:
a lovely nonbinary / girl skye patch for harvest moon DS cute!
Howdy lgbt farmers! I made this patches for Harvest Moon DS Cute that changes all the dialogue so Skye is a girl. With this patch, everyone will refer to Skye as a woman or girl, using she/her pronouns, your child will call her ‘Mommy’ or ‘Mama’ and after marriage she will be your ‘partner’. (I hope to change this to wife in future but the text is tricky!)
This patch changes the text only, all the character sprites, animations, heart events, and marriage are the same except for gendered terms!
In future I will to release a similar non-binary patch in which everyone will refer to Skye as a person, using they/them pronouns, your child will call them ‘Babby’ or ‘Baba’ and after marriage they will be your ‘partner’. Hopefully I can finish this up in a few days!
How to use this patch:
you will need an emulator to play the patched game, I recommend Desmume
you will also need a ROM of the North American version of the game. I can’t give you this for legal reasons but it shouldn’t be too hard to find one online or use a backup ROM of your own cartridge!
you will need software that can patch the ROM. I use Multipatch (this is for Mac so if you use windows/linux/etc. you will need to find another program capable of patching xdelta files)
download the patch here
Once you have all of the above, simply patch your ROM, load it up in your emulator, and be gay!
N.B. this is the first release of this patch so, although I have tested it, there may be errors, (I edited all the dialogue by hand in a hex editor so there will probably be a few errors for now!) please save your game often and keep backup saves just in case. Use this patch at your own risk, I am not responsible if it corrupts your save. If you find an error please drop me a message so I can try and fix it in future! Also, this patch is only intended for play throughs where you marry Skye, if you choose another spouse, other characters may misgender them.
In the long term, I hope to be able to completely reimplement the best friends system available in the Japanese version of DS Cute. Until then, if you would like me to change the gender/pronouns of any other marriageable character in HMDS or DS Cute, message me and I might be able to try!
