#nexus mods and stardew valley

[not-poignant]

Do you have any stardew mods that you absolute *must* have (for any reason) or any QoL mods you'd like to recommend?

Hi anon!

I'm not really going to do a 'must have' mod list because you don't need any mods to play Stardew Valley at all, and actually many of my farms I never played with any mods at all. So instead I'm just going to list the mods I enjoy using the most, that make my time more enjoyable within the game.

They're not must haves, and I don't actually think just about anyone should use mods before they've played the vanilla farm/style of the game a few times (because that's also the best way to see if you'll need mods in the first place. I don't need them. I just enjoy them). The one exception is people who can't handle the fishing mini game. But I find that dead easy (except the octopus, fuck the octopus), so... I don't need mods for that anyway x.x

My main mods are the following that I use pretty much in every game no matter what (for these to work you will need another mod called SMAPI, and sometimes a mod called Content Patcher, each mod will tell you what it needs to run in the Requirements section):

Cosmetic:

Mini Obelisks - The standard obelisks look cool but are just too damned tall. This changes the size lol.

Hudson Valley Buildings - Look, there are a ton of reskins for the buildings in the game, I just like these ones.

Vanilla Tweaks - A texture pack that re-skins pretty much all of the objects in the game (fish / vegetables / fruit / nodes / minerals etc.), it's pretty!

Simple Foliage - One of the nicest tree/bush reskins, it's just pretty.

Quality of Life:

UI Info Suite - is one of my favourite QoL mods, because it just comes with so many different things that are so useful, and my favourite are that you can access the calendar and fetch quests from your standard menu, as well as the little pop ups under the day/time which tell you if the Travelling Cart is there, who's birthday it is, if it will storm the next day, and whether or not there's a new recipe. It also tells you which of your pets need petting etc. It pretty much made my Better Ranching QoL mod redundant lol.

Gift Taste Helper - Despite having like 1800 hours in this game, I never remember loved gifts, and in the heart menu, this allows you to hover over a username and see someone's most loved gifts automatically. So useful. Saves me visiting the Wiki 400 times in a playthrough.

NPC Map Locations - Tired of looking at the Wiki for their schedules? Just use this and you'll see all the people / where they are on the map. Great for gift-giving.

No Kids Ever - Your mileage may vary on this one but I don't want children in SDV ever with any of my spouses and I don't even want to be asked. This eliminates all questions around parenthood and means you can also turn the nursery into whatever kind of room you want. You'll never have to worry about kids. This is definitely a must have for me ;)

Ship Anything - It pisses me off that I can only sell weapons etc. through Marlon's because they open from 4pm and it's just inconvenient. Ship Anything allows you to ship swords etc. from your shipping bin, and also use your recycling bin. SO useful. Can also use it for furniture / wallpaper etc.

Other:

DeepWoods - One of my favourite 'end game' places and so enjoyable (and a good source of wood and hardwood), this is very much like the Skull Caverns, but instead it's the Deep Woods and 'what if there were levels of the Secret Woods and they were easy-to-really-fucking-hard.' The levels change, there's all these cool little secrets, but a warning, some of the monsters can oneshot you even if you're late game (have all the stardrops / Galaxy Sword in the Forge etc.). There are monsters here that are absolutely way more dangerous than *anything* you will ever find in the Skull Caverns.

This is kind of a cheat because wood and hardwood become so important in the mid to late game, so ymmv on how comfortable you are with something like that. But I love the DeepWoods. Just a warning, take a warp, because once you're past level 1, you'll need to warp home.

-

I've also started playing Stardew Valley Expanded but that's like 10-11 mods in total and tbh anon I only recommend going down that rabbit hole once you've played the vanilla farm a few times.

These days I will also occasionally play with CJB Cheats, just because I've played like 15+ farms now the 'hard way' and sometimes I want life to be a little easier, lmao.

If I needed to go without all these mods tomorrow, I could and I'd still enjoy the game, so none of them are 'musts.'

Stardew Valley update is all fun and games until you look at your 100+ mods and realise the horror of what you're about to go through.

what my farmer has done to harvey is insane. his DILF ass came to pelican town like a bisexual grenade and turned a shy but sophisticated career man with a doctorate into a shivering and whimpering anime girl who looks at him like hes a fat elderly zebra and harveys a malnourished lion who hasnt eaten in 5 months. my playthrough should be a PSA against the dangers of long haired fat bicurious men with big freckled arms and the way gay yearning can turn anyones brain to soup

Wizard / Rasmodius Portrait Mod

[orangeblossoms7]

so i hid my mods...

... and I'm most likely leaving nexus (for good) because i feel very targeted in that website. i thank every one who has supported me there until now but i feel like it's time to leave.

i'm still going to be making mods but i will no longer upload them in that site when i feel like i'm being ignored and treated unfairly. favoritism and cliques are rampant in the sdv community there (not everyone, i know) and i feel like it became a very toxic environment for me.

(some people might gossip and even speak over me about my experiences but i ask you to shut up because you don't know the whole story)

thanks for all the memories and the sweet messages i received there! <3

Think I might be a little obsessed with these mini medieval sheds and greenhouses. The shed has an upgrade feature called TARDIS 🤭

[scourgiez]

Something funny and ridiculous I do is that after marrying Elliott I go to his cabin every once in a while to look at everything longingly and pretend it's changed at all. My unmodded game doesn't provide much for roleplay but with a good imagination you can conjure up anything
