It will not stop raining and my villagers won't work unless prompted. Does anyone know how to get it to stop.

I don't think you can stop the rain. It's intermittent and should stop after a short while. Is yours constantly raining without stopping? Or do you just mean that it rains often? I think that's a part of the game.

Needless spoiler removed.

It was raining nonstop, but i stopped the statue puzzle and then it finally stopped raining and after I resumed the statue puzzle it has not rained again :). Thanks
