All of the 10 heart scenes are essentially 1 on 1 dates with the NPC.

They're pretty hard to miss.

In Shane's case... >!He sends you an invitation and you have to meet him at the bus stop!<

You may need to do his 7 and 8 heart events first.

I'm not exactly sure how you haven't had his 10 heart event. But I do know, that unless you actually hit the skip button during a cutscene, you can not officially miss it entirely. You will likely stumble upon some from several NPCs that way. Some events require you to trigger them, by entering an area within a specific time/season/weather etc. And some may require you to see the previous cutscene before the next one. Or sometimes you can get other cutscenes out of order.

Just know that it hasn't been lost forever. You will still get a chance to experience the cutscene.

He’s the best husband. I love his backstory.

His cutscene are so interesting to watch. You're in for a ride

Beer and hot peppers, he falls in love fast. My first husband ��

They're usually called 'Hearts' or friendship points

If you wanna marry Shane, you’re gonna have a sad time.

It's a problem a lot of people have with Shane in the game (myself included) - you go through his heart events and he makes progress, but then when you marry him it seems like a lot of that goes away. There's mods that change it, but if you're playing on Switch you can't mod the game unfortunately.

Also keep catching him at the bar your in for a surprise (assuming your at 14 hearts)

"Did I marry an ass?"...Yes.

I don't know if you're on Switch. (It seems like so many players are) I play on PC and there is a great mod called "Date Night." Your spouse will randomly ask you on dates. There are (i think) about 5 different dates and some spouses have distinctive dates like Haley. She will invite you on a date to the desert and Emily goes with to visit Sandy. They are cute dates and very well done. Gives you a nice feeling of actually doing something together. Just sayin'...

I think he is, to me I’m helping him be his best self, and I like to think that if the story were to continue so would his progress, but the game kinda flatlines on all the characters development

Shane has a really good story arc, but I do think he’s better off with the farmer as a friend than a spouse. My guy needs some time to work through his mental health stuff, not a relationship.

Even out of the sub its one of the most talked about character growths in the game

I feel like it's talked about ALL the time honestly, so much that it makes me want to avoid this sub sometimes because people really don't understand depression and are really cruel about it. (Yes, Shane is not a real person but those of us with depression reading your posts are)

It's one of the most frequent 'lore' discussions I see on this sub, though

His storyline is talked about to death lol

I wanna say yes but if you marry him he still doesn’t clean up and his side is pretty dirty. Also his eating habits don’t change so I had to wonder if he really learned 

No one beats Sebastian in my heart, but Shane is very cool too

Yes. We can fix him. And in this case, we actually can!

haha. Alex must be really resourceful. I think I'm going for him in a next gameplay.

My trophy husband that eventually fix some fence

There is a certain picture of Shane with a chicken smiling and it was that moment I knew. My first play through, I went for Harvey but after seeing him with his chickens. I found it so cute.

Shane is complicated. What I don't like is that you go to all of this trouble helping him quit drinking, get into therapy, give his life meaning but he's still in the saloon every day, and getting married to him there's no change in his growth. He's kinda gross but at least he's happier. I don't like having him as a spouse, as I think he needs to do some healing, but he's a well written character.

His story is one that hits home for me, the depression, the drinking, the darkness, I've had it all. And I love that he has the chickens that give his life some meaning and that he still cares about Jas a lot. There's some hope there. And his character progression is great until eight hearts (I've never had a relationship with him). Doesn't mean I'd consider marrying him, even if my farmer is a happy-go-lucky, healthy little guy. I'd find his condition hard to deal with as a player. That just means he's written really well, props to CA

He’s the best written character in the game, and it’s obvious that ConcernedApe put a lot of thought and care into developing his character arc. It’s worth getting him to 8 hearts, at least.

I’ve never married him and never will because I don’t like him at all as a person. 🤬

hes a good person to befriend in the game i like receiving peppers poppers in the mail

take this with a grain of salt as i do have the "I can fix him" mod for some of his dialogue but I think Shane's one of my favorites of the bachelors. I just married him in game and I love that he's just trying his best because at the end of the day, that's what matters. He's turning his life around and that is HARD. so i do have to applaud him for that.

I'm not even fully bothered by his rude dialogue at the beginning, especially remembering he works a shitty retail job for a shitty mega corp. I'd hate talking to people too (in fact i did when i worked mine)

He's my go to spouse. Recently got the Immersive Shane mod and I'm loving it so far!

My fave!! ❤️ (although I do think mods are needed to make marriage with him less depressing since he forgets his entire journey and starts drinking again). But he was my first ever and always fave spouse.

Also - I know recovery is complicated and dynamic. But we don't get that either - it's just like a sudden regression. I think it would be fine for him to have good and bad days, more bad days the worse your relationship is. But almost every day talking about beer is too much 😭 also why does beer remain a loved gift??

And for his 14 heart event, I wish there was more of an opportunity to defend him and trust him, the game kinda forces you to say you doubt him. 😭 Oh well

You get the blue chicken from him right?

He is wonderful!! I love his growth throughout his heart events. Kinda hits close to him ya know? ☺️😊☺️

I’m marrying him (I need it to rain goddamnit lol) and I love him so much.

I loved his character once I realized I could help him with his alcoholism by solely giving him beer. Best Character Ever.

I really loved his character and wanted to marry him and give him nothing but happiness and opportunity to leave his old life behind but i read that his alchocolism becomes worse after marriage and it breaks my heart

Nexus makes a mod to clean up his room! It looks great!

Yeah, at first i hated him like pretty much everyone. But as you get to know him... Shane just hits too close to home you know. Thats why he is one of my favorites. Shane and penny are the the ones who feel most human to me

I have the same feeling every time I play.

Hi all! It looks like this post involves a controversial NPC. While discussion is always welcome, threads with these characters sometimes devolve into hurtful comments and/or hostility. A few reminders:

• You may discuss characters freely, but you may not abuse other people for their point of view or personal preferences.
  • This includes any sort of name-calling, insults, condescension, and unkind framing of another person.
• No character or human is black-and-white. Allow for nuance!

If you see a comment that you think doesn't belong on the sub, please do not retaliate. Hit the report button so mods can help! Thanks!

I got turned off by hearing about his spouse room but all of the other male npc drive me nuts he seems like the most loyal even with his issues and now I feel guilty he doesn’t have a job 🫠 I’m still not ready to commit though lol

i love him so much like i have an unhealthy obsessive relationship with him, my shaylaaa
