How to have children in Fields of Mistria
Fields of Mistria’s 1.0 update allows players to have children after marrying an eligible non-player character. The feature expands the game’s family-life options and awards the Parent achievement once a child is born.
Players can choose from 12 romance options, raising a character’s relationship level by giving them favourite gifts until reaching eight Hearts, when dating becomes available. At 10 Hearts, players can craft and give an engagement ring to marry; after several in-game weeks, they receive a Mystical Feather to discuss starting a family, which the partner may accept or decline.
In short
- Marriage is required before players can have children.
- Dating begins at eight Hearts; marriage requires 10.
- A Mystical Feather triggers family planning after marriage.
Explained simply
Fields of Mistria is a farming and life-simulation game in which players build relationships with characters in the town. These characters are non-player characters, meaning they are part of the game rather than controlled by another player.
Players can romance one of 12 eligible characters by getting to know them and giving gifts they like. A relationship can progress from dating to marriage, with family life as another part of the game’s social features.
The option to have children adds to the ways players can shape a character’s life in Mistria. The game also recognises the milestone with an achievement, a reward recorded in the player’s progress.
