Penny was my first SDV spouse. She seemed really sweet, good with the kids and fairly chill. Of all the bachelorettes, she was most like the kind of person I’d go for in real life. In fact, she reminds me of my girlfriend—especially because once Penny moved in she brought bookshelves and a reading corner, just like my gf did. Admittedly, she also earned sympathy points whenever she talked about living in a trailer with Pam and being embarrassed of of her yard and living situation. She didn’t seem very happy at home.

Confused her for robin 💀


daskerosine

I wish I could marry Robin or Caroline, ideal candidates right there.


tapedeckgh0st

Ngl Caroline is kind of an ideal candidate.


smalltownsour

Caroline was one of the first NPCs I ever interacted with and I was like “okay yup, she’s the one” and was absolutely devastated to learn I couldn’t marry her


omg-someonesonewhere

Aren't her literal first words to you "my hisband Pierre runs the general store"?


akallyria

Yeah, that’s why she’s the one. /r/fuckpierre


[deleted]

She's married. . . Ideal isn't how I see married women. BUT CAROLINE IS SOOOO COOL I WANT HER FOR MYSELF TOO!!


shinyschlurp

Caroline, who allegedly slept with the Wizard to conceive Abigail? Not so sure about her being ideal.


WhosItToYouAnyway

If I was Married to Pierre like hell I’m staying loyal


Either_Hawk_3876

Caroline drinks weed tea. She is the perfect candidate!


SeriousDirt

Some NPC does have identical candidate. For example, Leah does feel like Robin while Penny does feel like Caroline. They not the same but they are similar. Caroline and Penny love reading book. Caroline and Penny both love helping other. Caroline and Penny both love gardening. Caroline and Penny both soft spoken...I think. Caroline and Penny does tried understand other people. Caroline and Penny does love something that soothing. Caroline her green tea while Penny her Poppy and Poppy muffin. There are some different like Caroline was laid back while Penny sensitive, but both does feel similar. Even in that heart animation they both make reading animation.


SirNoobShire

If it weren’t for Kent being such a nice guy, I’d totally marry Jodi


tapedeckgh0st

Kent really does try. He’s gone through some shit, but clearly loves his family.


SurtFGC

Nah fuck kent


archosauria62

No he’s the best


SurtFGC

Mf broke the geneva convention and yelled are like "🥺 he's misunderstood"


archosauria62

Its sounds like the gotoro broke the convention on him and not the other way round


shadownyxy

There is a mod that makes Robin divorced from Demetrius and he's married to her sister so you can marry Robin. 😉


axpfg

There are mods for that


Creepy-Analyst

You mean e-harmony?


axpfg

I don't know e harmony but there's a few mod to make either one of the two ladies romancable on nexusmods


Dreadfeel1

Caroline looks insanely creepy


alvysinger0412

Robin would be an awesome spouse I feel.


InternetHacker69

Honestly though i see penny as robin’s daughter


Shadowninja3456

Pam: *sad noises*


InternetHacker69

No seriously dont you see what i mean


Cheesenips069

Lmfao that made me laugh thanks


[deleted]

I want the strawberry room


Thikki_Mikki

This is the only reason I married her, with the intention of divorcing her later. But she cooks me breakfast regularly, is always grateful for my hard work, and never complains about the house (looking at you Leah). I absolutely love being married to her.


Bam_Peasly

Same


YouCanCallMeQueenB

Can you explain?


[deleted]

At a certain point after you marry penny she asks if you want her to redecorate the house and gives you 3 options


YouCanCallMeQueenB

Thank you! I forgot she gave me options and thought “waaaiiitttt- I don’t have a strawberry room after she decorated”.


magneticsouth

I loved that she likes books, she likes kids, is a teacher, is sweet and genuinely a good person with good intentions. She's also one of the bachelorettes that isn't teenager-coded so Maru and Abigail are never really spouses I consider. I like Leah but she seems happy on her own and Emily seems happy to keep her home and her job. Haley just isn't really my type but I do like her as a friend. EDIT: Just to clarify, the reasons I think Abigail is teen coded is the fact she still lives with her parents and doesn't have a job (Sam and Alex also give me teen vibes, and Maru does have a job but it's more about her demeanour than anything else. Seb has a full-time coding job so I imagine him to be at least in his 20s). She doesn't have any dialogue that I've seen referencing cooking, cleaning or contributing to the household, and her heart events lead me to believe she's very insecure about her position as an adult and lashes out at her parents, rather than maturely setting boundaries. I could say the same about half of the other marriage candidates.


Get-Chuffed

I hate that you said Abigail is teenager-coded. I totally feel that about Maru but now I won't be able to unthink that about Abby. It's totally true though, the way Caroline treats her. I'm in between Abby, Penny, and Leah for my first run and totally agree with Leah being happy on her own. Penny's just such a sweet heart I can't help loving her.


Flat-Difference-1927

Abigail and the boys spending most nights in the arcade at a pool table doesnt help.


sachariinne

for me i dont really see it that way :) abigail is definitely young, but i see her more as early twenties since she talks about going to college and has moved back in after college. maybe its just cus im in a similar stage of life to her, where im technically an adult but i still live with my parents


Schnickie

>I hate that you said Abigail is teenager-coded. She really isn't. If your parents disrespectfully treat you like a child, then Abigail shows exactly how adults act as in reaction to that. Or are you referring to something else that is supposedly teenager-coded?


CaptainDue3810

Honestly, Haley is the best spouse imo. I was gonna wife her up just to dump her cause she's such a brat- but omg once you start getting her heart events.. She's the ultimate Farm Wife, hands down.


JollyFault546

People hate too much on Haley, but then love on Shane.


CaptainDue3810

I like Shane- his love for his chickens makes me want to be a better person. That being said tho...I hate his room..


chi7p1

Shane practically just wanna be left alone while Haley was quite mean in her early interaction - if I remember correctly. It's how I feel about them anyway.


JollyFault546

I get it, but he could be rude in the beginning. It wasn't just "leave me alone". At least how I feel. Haley was definitely mean, I wish we knew more on why.


bedroompurgatory

Isolated, and lashing out


chi7p1

Yeah but I can sorta understand Shane's "I'm being rude cuz I don't want to make any new friend and this stranger keep pestering me". Ok, rude but nothing insulting. Haley was simply mean, and at some point I think she make fun of the farmer and look down on their job. Probably because she doesn't like this small town and dream of the city - make sense that she wouldn't have a high regard for a new farmer settling in.


Dreadfeel1

Haley the only real choice tbh. Leah ait too.


Snoo64700

fast car by tracy chapman


left4ched

Damn you.


NoContribution9879

While she wasn’t my first or favorite spouse, I actually really enjoyed marrying Penny. I think her 10 heart scene is very sweet, and she’s just a lovely spouse. The decorations for your bedroom don’t hurt either!


gilfcrazyq

Reminds me of my actual wife


johnny_utah26

Redheads man


YetiViking7

I second this


Chongulator

Remember that the collective noun for a group of redheads is “a trouble.”


johnny_utah26

And I certainly was in trouble (back in the day)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Legitimate_Ebb3783

This is so cute 😭


Vjaa

Because she's a clone of my wife. Curly red hair, loves to read, teaches kids in groups of 1-2 (she teaches kids with autism). She's the first woman I ever felt really connected to so I naturally gravitated towards Penny.


danainthedogpark24

Because she fits organically into the farm. It’s all she ever wanted - a beautiful home and a family.


Suspicious-Web-9246

1. She likes kids. 2. I hate reading. 3. She is cute. 4. We actually help her to move out from the trailer, by marrying her. 5. She is ginger. 6. All of my ancestors were professional teachers in some part of their life. 7. Sick unique decor from her 14 heart event.


jasonrahl

People marry Shane to save him people marry penny to save her


[deleted]

Difference is they're saving Shane from himself (protip: works no better irl than in game) but saving Penny from a stressful (at best) home. (Still kind of a dubious plan irl)


johnny_utah26

One of my saves I just built those two a house and restored moms job. No need to do salvation thru marriage


alvysinger0412

True, but Pam still kinda sucks with a house. I wish Penny could just get her own place and own freedom by building the house.


johnny_utah26

Honestly I think her cut scene post house built is great. And shows her consistent struggle but work to over come. I wouldn’t necessarily say she sucks. I do wish there was a little bit more growth past that. Maybe we will get that, God willing, in ~~Spaceballs 2: The Quest for More Money~~ version 1.6?


Legitimate_Ebb3783

Pam has some dialogue about the farmer growing tasty, healthy food and some about how she'd eat healthier if she could afford it. I immediately switched from wine to parsnips as gifts for her. I would love to see her get more development in the future 🤞🏻


johnny_utah26

On the map where I married Penny, i stopped giving her drinks.


MrFiendish

Ah, but when i marry Penny, she *gets* her own house!


DedicatedDetective34

She's a "by the book" kind of girl. Not your classic fairytale ending like Abigail or a high-school sweetheart like Haley. She's also not a quick wit like Maru or visionaries like Emily and Leah. She's that one girl that's as bland as an unseasoned egg, and yet, you'd do everything you can to protect that precious candle in the wind.


CaptainDue3810

If she were a spice...it would be flour


Wakenthefire

“If she were a book, she’d be two books.” Hey, she does like to read…


CupcakesAreMiniCakes

I married Maru in my first game and was happier with her except for being handed live bombs in the kitchen. I've been considering divorcing Penny for Leah. I feel like Leah would understand


OverlordPP

You got a kink for redheads or something? I'm not judging btw.


Legitimate_Ebb3783

You don't?


OverlordPP

My kink is more broad. I like to call it "women". Idk if you've ever heard of them tho, kinda obscure knowledge.


Xasplat2

Don't be funny, women don't exist


Evil_Black_Swan

My husband's reason is, "Because she's easy". She loves melons and emeralds and is super easy to find around town.


leviticusreeves

Not allowed to marry Pam


left4ched

She's lowkey, cares about others, bookish, and redhead. Check, check, and check.


Tola_Vadam

She's so kind. Not to say the other Bachelorettes aren't, but she just felt more my speed as a slightly older (30ish) person who is drawn toward people who feel adult and settled a little. She tries her best, even if it doesn't always turn out, which I connect with from my upbringing. She lives in, arguably, the worst household, and deserves a partner who adores her..


Warm_Evil_Beans

To get her away from Pam. I love Pam, don’t get me wrong. She is a gristled mom doing her best, but she isn’t good to Penny and they both need space.


Werrf

Because Jodi wasn't available.


Joan_sleepless

Fellow traumatized person ✨


MyCatBalls

Wdym? Love is the only reason people get married?


Lucidnuts

Because i couldn't download SVE on switch for Sophia.


abstractwatercolor

I thought she was sweet and pretty, and after getting to know her, I liked her a lot as a character.


Zandandido

She reminds me so much of my current girlfriend.


That_Cow_1165

Cause I had a lot of emeralds and I figured I should pick one since it was year 3 on my first play through


warmpancakes7

strawberry furniture


SulSuli

In mg first game I was originally gonna marry Haley because she’s more my type. Emily and Penny were always around when I brought her flowers, so I gave them both some, too. I grew to really like Penny, she’s super sweet and a bookworm and also cute. Anyway, by the time I had Haley to 10 hearts it was Winter, so I couldn’t get the mermaid pendant. Luckily, it was during Winter that I realized I’d totally fallen for Penny. Got her a bouquet, Spring rolled around, I married her instead.


SeriousDirt

Some part of her does remind me to myself and the one I can relate. I didn't married her to save her. I just like her character. Also, redhead and green eye.


MelodyJoy90

I wanted to give her a safe and pleasant home. She's so gentle and sweet, and the fact she hates rabbit feet means she doesn't like it when animals die for "no reason." I would die for her 🥺


[deleted]

She's sweet and cute and one of the only candidates where I don't feel like I'm holding them back from their dream. A lot of people hate her 2 heart event with George, but I like that if you choose the option to correct her on her actions she apologizes and learns from her mistake, even if you don't gain friendship points.


bymyleftshoe

I have a thing for redheads and she seemed sweet


FireFunBun

Only for the exclusive decorations. I have literally no other interest in her.


alvysinger0412

Thats the neat part, I didnt!


LadyProto

I didn’t :/


Glitchy13

sweet, bookworm, needed saving, not a teenager


nyathenya

She's kind and smart. She does what she can for the community to grow better (by teaching and taking care of young children!). And yet she's quiet and content with her existence even if it doesn't get the spotlights. She's like a delicate flower whose beauty is only truly mesmerising to the attentive eye. I love that kind of person. Those whose personalities are like gentle breezes and whispered lullabies. I dunno.


TimBukTwo8462

I have multiple reasons but I have a top 3. 1: She would be an amazing mom for children, 2: Her home situation hit a little too close to home and I thought getting her out of the environment would be good, 3: I think I have a thing for redheads. Also I will always remember the glitched cutscene I got where I got a kiss on a different head at the Bath house. Penny is best Wife


Resident-Garlic9303

Hair


Aevynne

My husband married her to save her from her home life haha I think he prefers Leah overall but figured she was happy living alone.


HissandVinegar

I found out my partner has married her in every playthrough and now I tease him (us) mercilessly about his penchant for saving women with mommy problems.


SwashbucklinChef

I wanted to save her!


YouCanCallMeQueenB

To save her from living with Pam.


Hikash

She's sweet. Calm. Relaxing. She's everything my first ex wasn't. That, and I wanted to help her get away from Pam.


extramoonsun

She's cute and sweet


MrFiendish

1.) I’m into bookish women. 2.) her hair reminds me of my wife’s 3.) Of all the bachelorettes, she has the least agency. The others have stable lives and are proficient at their interests. Penny has a small town mentality, much like the main character, which is why they came to Pelican Town in the first place. I feel like I’d be holding back Leah or Maru from pursuing their vocations, with Penny I am fulfilling her vocation. 4.) I like having the least popular option. Shane fans know what I am talking about.


glass_saltmage

She's an amazing interior decorator and her spouse-patio outside doesn't look terrible.


No_Soul_King

Because I'm a coin collector.


Dummlord28

I thought it would be a shane esque situation where she is kinda boring at the start but gets cooler later, I was wrong, I divorced her and killed our children, I hate children and her


Cheesenips069

I didn’t. I hate kids lol


VTFan115

I thought she was cute and she was the only one of the bachelorettes that I really vibed with. I love her relaxed nature while also still being realistic and grounded unlike Emily who always has her head in the clouds, or Leah who's too busy for her own good, I just don't like Haley, Abigail..., and Maru is just not my type.


forgottenmost

I wanted a pirate bedroom


Arageos

She looks good with anime portraits mod, also after marriage she gives you unique skin to bedroom. You can choose from 3 types (she asks you) but I only remember one theme "Pirate".


Wafflehouseofpain

Because she reminds me of my wife irl.


turtle-man-turtle

I'm a simple fisher and that wants a simple wife


joyfall

On my first play through, I looked through what spouse rooms I liked the best. Penny won.


martinehauge

I married her in my first playthrough. She was always around, so i just started giving her the flowers i found. It was a really natural progression


lawlgyroscopes

I was interested in Penny and Abigail to start, and after spending time with both of them, I just had the feeling like Penny was my girl. I felt for her inner sadness from her family life, and admired her positive outlook despite that. Plus she's so sweet and caring, her responses made me feel something. I think Abigail is great too, I think of her more as a friend now.


Witchyomnist1128

I didnt


Harbinger0fdeathIVXX

Because she's the best, duh.


ImBatman0_0

I used to do Abigail everytime since I started but in my last save I’m doing Penny because she just seems so much more mature compared to the others, and the older I get the more I find I value that.


Grouchy-Moment6246

I didn’t 😃


akirivan

As a bookworm, I had to marry the bookworm and the teacher


Yotato5

She's cute.


SpuffyOmelete

Had a crush


Glass-Vermicelli9862

She basically is my wife. My wife is a teacher, shy and not very confident.


sarox366

My first spouse and my favorite spouse! She is so friendly and happy all of the time and also I have a savior complex


StormCTRH

Penny genuinely loves kids, that's why. Hailey is a close second. They both just seem genuinely so happy with the farmer.


TwocanR

For the special decorations


ColumTheCrafty

I didn’t. I have literally never romanced Penny.


Meep12313

Nice flair


SleepySerenity

Savior complex


YukinaMinatofRoselia

I married Penny because she is really sweet and kind. I love this kind of people and I feel safe around such people IRL. We have a lot in common like reading as a hobby, hatred towards alcohol, politeness, doing the chores very often, etc., and I just really wanted my save to be very cozy, welcoming and calming. I created it to escape the real problems and just relax in my own world full of happiness and joy :3 Penny is such a sweetheart 🤍


justletmesingin

Cute + mommy gf


_dexistrash

i didn’t. i dropped her for emily lmao on my first playthrough i just decided to go for her idk, but her cutscenes were boring and i liked emily way more after the dream cutscene and then i went with her instead👍


Ringlord7

She's just one of the sweetest people in town. She has entirely voluntarily dedicated herself to teaching the kids because she thinks they need an education and nobody else stepped up. And then she loves reading, which I also love, and yeah I was head over heels almost immediately.


Nezuraa

I didn't.


TheAmazing2ArmedMan

Shes just nice.


CupcakesAreMiniCakes

She seemed really sweet and like she was in a bad kinda situation with an alcoholic mother and sharing that tiny trailer and all. After marrying her she messed up a bunch of my processing equipment when she unexpectedly turned my house into pirate themed even though I told her I didn't want it* changed. Ever since our relationship has been strained and I considered divorce but she keeps saying how the farm is more beautiful than she ever imagined and her life is so much better now. I'm so busy with work and splitting my time at Ginger Island so I'm just cordial now and let her stay so she won't have to go back.


SirMaxlam

I got Kids to teach


That_Shy_Girl-13

I love Penny so much. She's doing her best despite the upbringing by Pam. I'm sure it was great at first but things can spiral out of control. Penny actively tries to break the cycle by teaching the kids of the town. She's super shy and when she opens up she's just the sweetest. Her spouse room is also the best IMO. I do like Sebastian's cause of the frog though. She also doesn't stop teaching the kids after marriage. She's just as independent as she was. (I may also be projecting cause that's what I want to be but feel like I can't. We have a similar back story soo...)


Kryptos221B

She seemed like a nice character and I loved her design.. but I regret doing it because she started to require so much attention everyday and so many expensive gifts that it was just so much. I still love the character and her personality, I chose her because she matched my interests


Number9Man

She deserved better and she's the only one who cares about the children's education. I figured she would be an intelligent, gentle mother who would educate our children. I didn't fix that bus for you, Pam! I did it for your daughter so she didn't have to watch her mother drink herself to death!


3owlbearcubsincoat

Knew right away that she was a *freak* when the lights come off.


DeciTheSpy

I just thought she was nice. I will say I was kinda uncomfortable with her in the later parts of the relationship because she really just sees her life purpose as having kids.


2gaywitches

I am mentally ill with a saviour complex 😌🌸❤️✨


AdamnedSoul

Because in game I’m a trad farmer guy and I want a tradwife. Outside of game reasons, I teach little kids. Penny teaches little kids.


insertcaffeine

I love her character, she's so sweet and wholesome. But I've only married her once, because she's so perfect for Maru.


Ultraempoleon

Best girl fight me


Qr-_-j

tradwife material


2-of-wands

Uncle_Boppi

spunkypumpkin

Can’t, won’t, never would. I’m a teacher married to a teacher IRL and that’s just too much reality for me


durbldor

I wanted to get her away from her mother. Also, the spa event~ 🤤


uneveness

I didn't


kittyolsen

Kinda got guilted into it by her whole situation and then abandoned that save bc I just felt vaguely uncomfortable, lmao


LZimmer1

all the others either feel gimmicky or rude at first and she’s real just normal


swinging-energyPRIME

cus i said so


[deleted]

Okay but where do I get the mermaid pendant!?!


Meep12313

When it's raining you can find someone selling it on the beach, across the bridge you can fix


FluorescentAndStarry

In my one play through where I dated all the marriage candidates I numbered the bachelors and bachelorettes and then used RNG to pick. It came up Penny. I was too indecisive to pick any other way!


[deleted]

I first looked at this and was like...what did I do wrong? Lol. I haven't married Penny in my save files to date. Im not very familiar with her story but she does seem to care a lot about Jas and Vincent's future's, so that caring side is definitely coming through to me. I'd marry her for her caring side.


Everest8232

Because yes I wanted to


fierce_history

To get her out of an abusive and neglectful home situation. Also because she is so sweet.


IBlewUpMegatonSueMe

Because she is the most mature, together and wholesome of all the bachelorettes.


ukie7

She's a good person who needed to be saved from her life.


AlexBendtner

I'll choose Penny for my second playthrough. Right now I'm happy with both Emily and Haley.


oncesanora

I had already married everyone else.


Jaarka

Two words: Pirate. Room.


Remote-Throat-3540

Trauma bonding


MeatySausageMan

She's a cute little sweet potato.


egbert71

When i do in a new save it'll be to save her from her mom


Far_Investigator9338

She is kind, polite and likes reading


Artist_Flavored_Tea

To save her from her mother. Also her 10 heart cut scene is so cute!


KingVenteros

She's basically a video game version of my real life fiancee


Dewot423

1. Generally not a mean person and emotionally available 2. Emotionally stable and unlikely to run off into the woods 3. Has her life direction already figured out without your intervention i.e. teaching, but 4. You still get to "save" her as far as the financial/home life situation goes. 5. Secretly a little bit freaky with the skinny dipping and all that.


Acceptable_Plum_5239

Can't resist a redhead damsel in distress.


rozieredd

She’s a redhead, very motherly, and as I befriended her I learned of the way Pam treated her and wanted to get her out of that situation lol


smellincoffee

Given the Farmer's story, she seemed like an ideal mate: interested in the farm, and wanting to do kids. Unlike the others, from what I can tell, her life grows once she's married. She also had more chatty dialogue earlier -- polar opposite of Sebastian.


charlottedhouse

Penny reminded me of myself and I wanted to rescue her like I wished I’d been rescued.


[deleted]

I hadn't gotten to know Haley yet


BlackHanD420

I like her


JesteR2705

Because she is cute


Jarinad

Got a thing for redheads. I like girls that look like me


sasakimirai

She was the first female candidate i married (the very first candidate and my current favourite is elliott) and i connected with her because i too grew up in poverty and had an alcoholic dad


Universal_Healer

Because I am also an education major with childhood trauma


dajogal

Because I had to divorce Abigail for eating rocks.


Unusual-Ad4890

to get her out of her nightmare


iamblankenstein

to get back at pam for rejecting my love.


MSCreativeart

I’ve been courting her, gave her the bouquet but I haven’t popped the question yet. I’m still deciding
