Character name. When creating a new save, name your character with up to three item IDs in square brackets, e.g. [16][66][72]. Every time a villager mentions your name in dialogue, those items spawn into your inventory. Character names lock to one set per save, so you're stuck with whatever three you pick.

Early-game trigger trick: call Gus by phone (or visit Pierre before noon) — both reliably say your name back to you. Once you unlock the movie theater, inviting Jodi with a Love Concession is the fastest repeatable trigger.

Pet or animal name. Buy an animal from Marnie's Ranch (a chicken is cheapest) or a pet, then name it with the item ID(s) in square brackets. You receive the items right after confirming the name. Repeat with another animal for different items.

If your code is longer than Marnie's name box allows, you can bypass the character limit by inserting line breaks with dialogue commands — handy when stacking many IDs at once.
