Update Idea: Learn Gift Likes and Dislikes from Chatting with People

[Tommy Gray x Land Raider]

I was hoping of this in an update: Sometimes, when talking to NPCs, the will mention what gifts another person likes or hates. This will cause the item to be listed in the social gift log for that person.

That is already the case.

not the part about adding it to gifts menu - you still have to try for it to appear

According to the wiki it works like that: "You can review the villager's gift preferences by clicking on their row in the Social Tab to open the "Gift Log". This log keeps track of gifts given, and gift preferences learned via Secret Notes and dialogues with their family and friends."

My gift preferences on pc and xbox have never been updated by an npc hinting about another npc's likes/dislikes.

Maybe it didn't apply to basic resources for me.

I just tested it and Haley's hate for a fish appeared in the list after Emily mentioned it. And Abigail told me about Pierre's love for fried calamari, which I now have in his log - a reload confirms that this entry did not exist at the start of the day. Yes, it works.

In my current game, Shane told me not to give Marnie clay. I've never given her clay and if I look at her disliked gifts screen, it shows she dislikes clay. If a towny says it, you read it in a letter or a secret note, it most definitely does populate in that NPCs profile.

This applies to vanilla, all bets are off with mods and overhauls.
