(WIP PAGE) STARDEW VALLEY MODS
This list contains PC mods, and descriptions of what each contain/do. This was curated with a focus on compatibility with Diverse Stardew Valley, and should have most (hopefully all) of the framework mods toward the top! This list was also not tested for multi-player farms, so please proceed with caution if you're wanting a multi-player experience!
| SMAPI | [VIEW HERE] | The baseline modding framework for Stardew Valley. You cannot mod the game without it! |
|---|---|
| Content Patcher | [VIEW HERE] | Loads content packs that change the game’s data, images, and maps without replacing the XNB files, which basically makes things much more compatible and easier to update in the long run. |
| Cross-Mod Compatibility Tokens (CMCT) | [VIEW HERE] | Does a bunch of behind the scenes stuff to make accessing Content Patcher stuff more accessible; essentially builds upon the frameworks SMPAI & Content Patcher make for modding. |
| Generic Mod Config Menu | [VIEW HERE] | Another vital one! Creates a menu on the game's title screen for you to configure all of your mod options (if the mod allows for value changes and such). |
| Sprites in Detail | [VIEW HERE] | Allows for the use of HD sprites, and effectively helps with doubling the size of sprites for that higher resolution. |
| Gender Neutrality Mod Tokens | [VIEW HERE] | Allows mods to utilize custom language tokens; made to be implemented into the Gender Neutrality mod, but still a useful framework for other dialog mods! |
| MixedBag's Tilesheets | [VIEW HERE] | Adds and allows for the use of custom tilesheets, which are more focused on game pathways but can be used for other visual edits. |
| Anti-Social NPCs | [VIEW HERE] | Creates a framework for mods that add NPCs the player can't befriend. |
| Custom NPC Exclusions | [VIEW HERE] | Adds a framework for mods to alter and, primarily, exclude NPCs from events. |
| Fashion Sense | [VIEW HERE] | A massive fashion framework; vital for many clothing or player-alteration mods. |
| Custom Fixed Dialog | [VIEW HERE] | Allows Content Patcher to create custom extra dialog and such. |
| SpaceCore | [VIEW HERE] | Generic framework mod that provides a lot of ground for various mods. |
| Producer Framework Mod | [VIEW HERE] | Framework for mods to create custom rules and limitations for creating objects. |
| Mail Framework Mod | [VIEW HERE] | Framework for altering the in-game mail system. |
| Expanded Preconditions Utility | [VIEW HERE] | Framework for mods to alter and create pre-existing conditions. |
| Json Assets | [VIEW HERE] | Framework for allowing content packs to add custom items to the game. |
| Better Artisan Good Icons | [VIEW HERE] | Changes artisan icons to match the product; makes it easier to tell what type of wine or jelly you have! |
| Misc introduction fixes | [VIEW HERE] | Alters some content in the introduction sequence such as making Grandpa's skin color match the player's and correcting some other coloring issues. |
| Project Populate JsonAssets Content Pack Collection | [VIEW HERE] | A giant collection of framework mods that help with implementing custom crops, custom trees, custom food, and much more. |
| Content Patcher Animations | [VIEW HERE] | Allows for animated textures on items! |
| Multi Yield Crops | [VIEW HERE] | Lets mods that add crops create those that can be harvested multiple times, or produce multiple items. |
| Bonster's Rare Crops and Oddi-trees | [VIEW HERE] | Adds a huge number of crops and trees to the game (Make sure to download both main files!) |
| Bonster's Crops | [VIEW HERE] | Adds new crops and trees to the game, such as blackcurrant, blue corn, taro, and more! |
| Bonster's Recipies | [VIEW HERE] | Adds new recipes to the game using BG items and stuff from Bonster's Crops. |
| Paritee's Better Farm Animal Variety (BFAV) | [VIEW HERE] | Allows for farm animals to be added without automatically replacing their default variants. |

Make sure to check out their website for more detailed information, and scroll to the bottom of this list for my personal customization options! |
| Canon-Friendly Dialogue Expansion | [VIEW HERE] | Massively expands on character dialog to include new events, reactions to events, and much more. There are over 4200 unique lines of dialog written for the mod. |
| Fall 28 Snow Day | [VIEW HERE] | Turns Fall 28 into a snow day to bring about the winter season in a more immersive manner. |
| Immersive Festival Dialogue | [VIEW HERE] | Adds relevant dialog to NPCs based on what your relationship is with them! NPCs will no longer repeat the same few lines of dialog every festival. |
| Marnie Deserves Better | [VIEW HERE] | Alters the main event between Marnie and Lewis so that they actually talk about their relationship. Intoduces a two-part addition to the event that allows the player to support Marnie. |
| SFG's No More War - Kent as Journalist (Content Patcher) | [VIEW HERE] | Replaces Kent's background so that he is not a soldier, but instead a war journalist covering the events of the world. If paired with Diverse SDV, toggling Kent to be Omani, this will automatically take precedent even if not installed (in addition to no bombs being sent in the mail). |
