r/StardewValleyMods

A couple weeks ago I asked the community about replacing Ridgeside with East Scarp because I was feeling too overwhelmed/bored with the amount of NPCs and long cutscenes in Ridgeside.

I ended up installing ES on a new playthrough with the NPCs Eli & Dylan, Sen, Sword & Sorcery, and Nora. Also playing with SVE and Alchemistry mods for a magical/combat focused playthrough.

Wanted to say thank you to everyone who recommended these mods and to their creators for making them so lively. The add-on NPCs are so well-done and interesting and for the most part feel integrated into vanilla. I really like the map of East Scarp and it was a pleasure to discover all the ways to arrive there from Pelican town.

Eli and Dylan are soooo cute and well-written. I like how easy they are to find around the map and how initially kind and welcoming they are to the farmer. They also gave me winter star gifts 🥲 and Sen is so precious. I maxed him out ASAP. So far I have only met Mateo from Sword and Sorcery but they have me rethinking marrying the wizard. Their integration with Marlon and Gunther, especially paired with their roles in SVE, has made the guild feel so much more alive. Already I can tell I will love the rest of this mod. And Nora is a girl after my own heart.

I really like the base NPCs of ES too so far. Beatrice is probably my favorite but I tend to like older NPCs.

I feel like I have a lot to do but have been enjoying this playthrough sooooo much more. Thanks everyone for your recommendations! If you were to add one more NPC expansion to ES, what would it be?

I want this mod because it'll make the basement easier to decorate, but I also like this mod (specifically the LeAlmightyPanda's version) for the forge area it adds for furnace stuff, PLUS it reminds of the Hearthfire basements from Skyrim. But I worry that because they both modify the cellar, even though they both technically aren't modifying the same thing, it might cause some problems. Does anyone have these mods and can help?

EDIT: Both mods are incompatible with 1.6 from what I've been told, but it's fine cause I found this mod that honestly is better anyways. So thanks for the help y'all

I just entered Discord to discover that the creator of the After dark series basically dropped everything:

their server was gone, their nexus profile blocked everything, their Twitter and Patreon got deleted, and I just want to know what happened!?

As the title says, I've shipped 15 of all the required crops (according to the SDV wiki), and I haven't received the achievement after several days. I've triple checked that they've all had at least 15 shipped. I ran that little thing that tells you what you are missing and it all checked out.

The big mods I'm using are SVE, East Scarp, Sword & Sorcery, Mt. Vapius, Wildflour, and Cornucopia. I've looked at various other crops from the expansions with Lookup Anything, and they don't say anything about Polyculture like the vanilla crops did before I shipped them, so I'm assuming I don't need to ship any expansion crops for it.

I've Googled and read various past posts about this, but nothing seems to apply. Any ideas?

Also, does anyone know if there is a way to get a portrait of Zinnia?

Many thanks!

Hope I'm describing what I mean correctly. I want to try this mod but I personally don't want animals in the tab with all the villagers that show their heart level progress. It doesn't seem like it does, but neither did RSV and I'm pretty sure the tortoise/turtle(?) shows up there. Thanks guys, :)

so i was trying to find the After Dark mods (all of em basically) and they have all been hidden on Nexus by the creator of the mods so like does anyone have the files??

So if you fill a chest with strawberries for example, would the strawberries go to the keg first and if there’s no kegs go to the jar? Or is it random?

And then how would that work with modded machines?

Hey - I'm looking for a mod, and I don't believe I removed it from my mods, but I'm not seeing it in game anymore.

Basically in the mod, when you go into the caves, on some of the elevator floors instead of the regular chest, they'll be something like a shrine? Sometimes it you need to step on the Roman numerals or Japanese letters in order. When you get it right, you get the treasure, but if it's wrong, it explodes. There's other "puzzles" or shrines, like sometimes you a need to bring an offering to match another one like an ore to get the cheat. Sometimes the "shrines" will show up on random floors.

Help me out please, I can't find it anywhere! Thank you.

I'm on year 8 of my save file and I'm 77% perfection on my current save file. I'm feeling bored since I feel I've just seen almost everything in the game.

I would like to add some mods that'll not add too much stuff in the game but enough for like a year or two ingame if possible. Preferably character mods since I love storylines and rework or skill tree mods, preferably to fighting.

Any suggestions please?

I just downloaded Poly Sweet for the first time, but now i’m getting romantic dialogue from everyone! Emily just kissed me in the town square after saying no one would be suspicious, and last night Penny was flirting with me! I’m wondering if there might be a conflict between Poly Sweet and Star Crossed, which I also have. Because star crossed gives me the ability to get more than 8 hearts with bachelor/ettes, i’m wondering if Poly Sweet is reading those relationships as dating. If so, is there a setting I can change to fix this?

I've never modded a game before outside of one that lets you add players in Lethal Company lol, so I am hoping for some recommendations!

I love Stardew and the only thing I want to change is to have more heart events, more character dialogue, that kind of thing. More characters could be okay, but I'd prefer not to have new locations or items. Is there a mod like that? If there are multiple what are your faves?

Pros/Cons or preferences for expansion mods? I'm on my first play-through with SVE, and people talking about Sunberry has me curious! I know different ones can stack.
