i discovered stardew valley mods pretty early on playing (but i think i already finished the community center by then) and it irreversibly changed my experience and i still can't tell if it was for the worse or not. like i used the cjb item spawner to get so much gold and got endgame items with it... a few years later i would use the same cheat commands on the same save to have. less gold. to actually have to work towards goals

#spud.txt #idk if this is terribly interesting #the recent update broke a lot of mods and i took the chance to cut down on mods. if not counting content packs like reskinning stuff i only #have 25 mods #counting everything i now have 85 when it used to be 200+#when 1.5 happened i actually used cjb to spawn in all the clothing items. and then json assets broke all the custom clothing i had in 1.6 #so i threw away the whole closet and turns out actually tailoring the clothes is so much more enjoyable...#it's so easy and tempting to bypass game challenges using mods like you can freeze time in caves and clear 100 desert floors that way #this isn't a dig against modding though i just wish i got into it later in my sdv career so i would leave some challenges for myself #mods can add new content like locations and characters and dungeons it's really neat #the update also got me thinking about. all the modding drama that went down. and turns out it was at least 3 whole years ago #idk the minute details but i think it started with sdv expanded who got caught including other people's mod content in paywalled files #this spread to nexusmods and partially sdv discord mods who defended the sdve author #and then nexusmods did the whole mod collection thing that threatened to zombify people's mods even if they took their stuff down #this led to a mass exodus from nexusmods and to moddrop #i think a lot of people have gone back to nexus though i wonder what happened #i feel so old...
