    I have everyone's pop way above 30 as well, but still no ceremony invest. :mad: I think it's some kind of bug.

    Hm maybe it requires a large number of/all/a specific few targets at a certain popularity.

    @ Duss321 and elpocholo7: Do you have every other target unlocked already?

    Ok it got unlocked after i leveled up a target which i can't remember precisely to 40+, maybe it's a coincidence, but i think ceremony needs everyone's pop to be at 40+ ^^ Hope it helps :)

    I unlocked the CEO after getting the Comedian (and all other people) to lvl 30.
    And after getting the Rich heir to lvl 30 i unlocked the Rich couple
    i'm currently raising everyones pop to 100.

    So my guess is to raise everyones pop. to 30, or 50 to be sure, before the ceremony unlocks.

    wee, i'm kinda new to this website and forum. bought an Ipod touch 4G this week.

    anyway. Your layout gave me Nichelin guide and top 100 springs 1st place, and Chimpan Z pass

    I added Forever Young to the Men's Bath, full plot size. added pond, fortune tellers and 2 plum trees.

    You can check equivocal's layout a few pages back for large baths. The first few pages has a layout from the Japanese wiki site for normal baths.

    You should be able to unlock Bamboo by building 20 Tatami Rooms.

    Ceremony

    I kept watch...on Yr 30 Month 8...

    At the same time Rich Missus and First Lady went past 40 popularity...and the Mayor popped up to give the proposal for Ceremony! So not sure which one it is, but definitely one of those 2 has to be above 40 pop.

    Bamboo unlock

    So I've been following this thread while playing, just started my 3 play through but I think the requirement to unlock bamboo is to build 10 tatami rooms not 20, I don't even have 20 facilities in my new game and bamboo is already unlocked

    I've been playing HSS for a while and now I am in year 27, but I don't know why I can't build the facilities/stores like Tea Room or Ping Pong Tbls? I wish to have all the facilities in my inn.

    You only need 10, I've confirmed this in my recent new game.

    For Tea Room, you need Tea Master at 50 Popularity or so. For Ping Pong Tbls, well, I can't really remember. But do ensure that you are advertising to all the people. Get those with low popularity up, and you'll definitely unlock everything. Good luck!

    I've gotten Bamboo at 20 myself, as did another user, I suppose it differs somehow or other.

    For Ping Pong, you need Young Family at 50.

    I'm playing for the secnd time. And I got all of trophies in year 11.

    After I read thrgh all of the discussion, I think its uncessry to push urself getting +3 in jacuzzi,spa and silk smooth? Why, coz u can use seed which is improve them automatically and use milk (bath w).

    It means, u guys just focus on springerade, in crwd, fst frnd dll. And why don't u try to use larger bath?

    I didn't have Tea Master yet. How to improve the profit of reading room? I have 4 and it's profit is negative.

    Place it in accessible locations so more people can visit it, and as with every facility you can increase the prices by use of items, which makes it more profitable. I'm not sure if the popularity affects the number of guests but I don't think so.
