About this mod

Your boss having a crush on you is kind of gross, so let's fix that, this mod tweaks dialogue that implies any romantic feelings or discomfort between Harvey and Maru.

My first mod so pretty rudimentary, just about 3 dialogue edits changing them to have no mention of either of them considering being together/having interest, and another that just rubbed me the wrong way a little. I wanted to just give them friendly coworker vibes as I really wasn't enjoying how Harvey, Maru's boss, has feelings for her, and how she seemed uncomfortable with it, and bringing this up to my friends, they also agreed. If you feel like this mod is detracting an integral part of their dynamic please simply don't install it, my work is primarily for my friends and I, and just posted in case it makes others happy as well.


Note that they may still dance at the flower dance together if neither are asked, this is not something that's within my capabilities to change, however, their dialogue about it is altered.

Dialogue edits

Flower Dance:

Before:
  • Harvey: “I'm working up the courage to ask someone to dance with me.”
  • Harvey (rejection): "Oh! I'm sorry... I, er... have plans to ask someone else."
After:
  • Harvey: It's part of the festival tradition to always have a few sets of dancers. Maru and I will sometimes volunteer if Lewis asks, though I'm not much of a dancer if I'm being honest.
  • Harvey: "Oh! I'm sorry... I, er... would rather not..."
My Reasoning:
  • Seeing that Harvey and Maru dance together if the farmer doesn't ask this implies he was asking her.

Luau:
Before:
  • Harvey: “Good thing I brought my sunscreen, I wonder if Maru could use some sunscreen on her shoulders?”
  • Maru: “Harvey keeps trying to talk to me, but all I want is a piece of this roast.”
After:
  • Harvey: "Please be sure to wear some sunscreen farmer, it's hot out today."
  • Maru: "Harvey keeps trying to talk about work but I think today is a good day for us to just relax."
My Reasoning:
  • The Harvey one is a bit obvious, Maru's is married dialogue and I just wanted to kind of keep their vibe friendly rather than avoidant.

Other dialogue:
Before:
  • Maru: “I'm glad to have a job at the clinic...I feel like I'm helping people in town. Dr. Harvey? He's nice, but not really my type... ”
After:
  •  Maru: "I'm glad to have a job at the clinic... Harvey was so nice for offering me a job."
My Reasoning:
  • I know she's saying he isn't her type but the need for her to mention it felt off to me so I just made a minor edit

Before:
  • Penny: "I wonder if Maru and Dr. Harvey will ever get together? I'm sure Harvey likes her...I think Maru will have to make the first move, though.",”
After:
  • Penny: "I wonder how Maru is doing working with Dr. Harvey at the clinic? I hope she's having fun"
My Reasoning:
  • Just wanted to emphasize Penny/Maru's friendship rather than her shipping her friend with her boss.


Big thanks to mitsux0 for helping me find missing dialogue!
