How to unlock the Bringin' Home the Bacon achievement in The Good Life - Definitive Guide

If youre able to play the PC version, there is an exploit that can allow you to craft items without having the necessary resources available.

This method was found by Pikenshiro on the Steam discussion boards (link at the bottom of the solution if anyone is interested) so I can't take credit, but in using this method, I was able to unlock
The Good LifeBringin' Home the BaconThe Bringin' Home the Bacon achievement in The Good Life worth 153 pointsEarned a total of £500,000.
and
The Good LifeFashionistaThe Fashionista achievement in The Good Life worth 633 pointsAcquired 48 different equippable items.


The method:
1. Make sure you have several small animal furs in your inventory and go to MacAvery's (patchwork fur is the quickest method).
2. Click on "buy materials".
3. Click on "patchwork fur".
3. When the shopkeep says "how many?", DO NOT CONFIRM PURCHASE. Scroll down to the gold nugget. Note that you may have to click the screen to activate the mouse.
4. When you have the yellow border around the gold nugget, hold right to select the max amount of nuggets. If done correctly, you should have been able to purchase nuggets equal to the amount of small animal furs you have. You can repeat this process in the menu several times.
5. Take a couple showers for max sell rate and sell the gold nuggets at the post office if you have high cat, or at the butcher if you have high dog (shoutout to Haclio for pointing this out).
6. Repeat until pop.

This achievement is cumulative, so if you get bored of doing this and want to tackle any of the other achievements, such as the ones that require you to buy a ton of stuff, feel free to do so.

Also, keep in mind that the more small animal furs you have, the more nuggets you can buy in one trip, so grind for furs if you want the process to go faster. The hedgehogs and rats that are close to the main village respawn every 3 days to help boost them up.

This will work with any merchant with craftable supplies. You can also do this to create attires WITHOUT needing crafting supplies, cutting the grind significantly. I'll post a solution for that achievement there.

Note that although the method still works as of 11/01/21, this may be patched out in a future update, so get it while you can.

Lastly, here's the link to the original post I found the exploit on: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1452500/discussions/0/4809273...

Happy grinding.

Well I got my 1st 100k legit and after the stupid nerf on the sheep race I got another 300k from this method. I usually don't like methods like this but the idiot developers need to take a zero off this achievement because 500k is absolutely ridiculous.

I think the selling price, apart from your hygiene, depends on where you are with your DC gauge. I sold all my gold nuggets to the butcher shop because he would buy them for 93.60£, while the post office lady was buying them for something like 75£ (My DC gauge was 100% dog, the butcher is a dog and the lady is a cat).

I think it's a combination of the two. I had low prices at the post office at one point even with a maxed out DC gauge for cat because my hygiene was low. After a couple showers, the prices went back up. But it also does make sense for how you got better prices with maxed dog at the butcher shop.

I'll update the solution though to reflect DC gauge. Thanks for the tip!
