Happiness is another score you receive at the end of the game, and it has been
mentioned throughout this document extensively. The maximum happiness score is
999. In general, happiness reflects Jack's overall well-being and
contentedness. It is closely related to his work on the ranch, but it also
takes into account the effects of nature, family, and people that don't
directly result in money or a tangible reward. Happiness is tracked throughout
the game and cannot normally be viewed (although you can see it by using the
ending cheat mentioned in the Tips and Tricks section).

There are many possible ways to reach a maximum score. The list below shows
all the items that affect happiness. I have classified these items into
general categories to make it easier to follow. All the values listed below
show the effect on happiness EACH TIME the event occurs. For example, if you
visit the mountain and catch a fish, you will receive 2 points of additional
happiness for each one.

Thanh you very much, but the answer you posted is about Harvest Moon (SNES) I am looking for an answer for Harvest Moon for Game Boy

It's been a while since I played.
But if I remember correctly these are the factors you should aim for:
-Clearing and plowing your entire field(and I mean every possible square)
-Breeding animals(meaning get all but your first chicken through egg incubation, and use a Miracle Potion on at least one cow)
-Have a full barn and coop.
-Participating in events(including attending annual events and fulfilling character requests)
-Have your food maxed out
-Find all the power berries(there are 10 total)

I don't believe harvest sprite and animal happiness are factors.
And I don't now the statistical value of how each factor affects you.
Just that you need a total of 250 out of a 255 maximum happiness points.
