Stardew valley mods for download

There are only two small steps you need to make before directly downloading mods to ensure the mods work correctly with the game files and are supported.

SMAPI does the work for you once you install it from here. This is a small program that allows mods to be loaded and managed into Stardew Valley. First you must extract the downloaded SMAPI file into any location you want that isn't the game's main folder. Once you do that, double-click the file name for the operating system you use. From there a small, black square window will pop up doing the rest for you. It will point you in the direction of where to put your future mods inside the game's folder.

You can either directly click this within the game folder to load up modded Stardew Valley or you can redirect Steam's game launch to that file so that when you press play in Steam it opens the modded version. This is the thing that will allow your mods to actually work within the game and not break anything.

Despite being fairly new, Stardew Valley gets the support of both its developer and the incredibly active modding community. A big chunk of the Stardew Valley mods are custom map mods, which introduce new maps that you can use to create and manage a new farm. Check Out This Mod. But it is definitely a good one if you can find some use for it. Which you surely will. You should try it out though.

It certainly makes the game look prettier, overhauling pretty much all parts of the map and introducing over custom objects and even new sprites. Welcome to Starblue Valley, your final destination on the journey to find the best-looking farm in the world. The recoloring job I aimed to make everything look less saturated, and it fully succeeds in doing so.

More Accessible Wilderness provides quick access to the hilltop and valley in the Wilderness map, allowing you to plant you own trees, grow your own flowers, and even attempt to place buildings.

White Water Farm replaces the Riverland Farm map with a beautiful custom map featuring fully animated waters, three waterfalls, and relaxing water sounds. This custom map, which can be installed over both a Riverland and a normal farm, will provide your farm with a lake. Marriage is all about compromise, apparently, but the sanctity of my decor isn't an area where I'm willing to meet in the middle.

Speaking of decor, modder Coldazrael's Modern Gothic Interior reskins a bunch of interior furniture with dark wood and stark white fabrics. If you've worn out the possibilities of Stardew's vanilla furniture, the Gothic furniture brings a whole new vibe. When it comes to building retextures, Flower Valley is one of the prettiest. This mod redesigns all your farm buildings, Pelican Town, and trees all over the valley with seasonal flowers. I should not be shocked by the number of mods that specifically turn various elements of Stardew Valley into cotton-candy pink.

To start with, turn all of Stardew's dialogue boxes and inventory screens pink with The Pink Interface. Follow that up with Cute Valley Pink and More Buildings for Cute Valley which together pink-ify all of your farms buildings, interiors, tools, and machines.

Do you want pink sheep? Of course you do. Why have scarecrows when you can have a bunch of adorable catcrows instead? Cuter Fatter Cows turns Stardew Valley's bovines into plumper versions with rosy cheeks meant to look like the cows of Harvest Moon. A number of modders have created new animal sprites but these are by far my favorite.

Modder Identitypollution has recently released an update to Cuter Fatter Cows which includes all of their cuter and fatter animal retextures. The Mod Update Menu is a handy tool accessible from the start menu that lets you know if you need to update any of your mods or SMAPI that required tool for modding Stardew you've installed.

If you'll be installing more than a couple mods, the update menu is a great way to keep your ducks in a row. There's a lot to keep track of on the farm and sometimes you just can't remember when you planted your cauliflower or whether or not you pet your sheep this morning. The UI Info Suite contains a lot of useful game information that doesn't quite cross into cheating territory. Animals that need to be milked or pet have icons over their head.

On mouse over, plants will display their name and days until they can be harvested. The Info Suite has a number of other useful features perfect if you're a forgetful farmer.

Do you place gates for your fences based on what looks nice instead of what's actually practical? You can stop walking all the way around your fenced in fields and make life a whole lot easier with Jump Over.

Does precisely what it says on the tin. This mod adds a tooltip with a villager's favorite items when you mouse over them in the relationships menu or their birthday on the calendar. If suddenly becoming omniscient in the ways of gifts feels a little too cheaty for you, modder Tstaples has added a progression version of the mod where you'll only know a villager's preferred gifts if you've successfully discovered them yourself through trial and error.

By year two of any Stardew farm, I've typically got an entire fleet of chests housing all of my excess fruits, building materials, and rarecrows. Each one has a specific spread of items known only to me from an inventory list that exists only in my head.

Categorize Chests allows you to make sense of the madness by dictating exactly which items go in which chests and putting only those items in it with just one button press each time you open it. I've never felt so organized. This is a very far complex and impressive mod that adds an extensive cheat menu inside the game. You can teleport anywhere, adjust your skill levels on the fly, change the weather, freeze time, give yourself money, increase movement speed, turn on god mode, adjust fishing difficulty, make your watering can never run out, and a whole heck of a lot more—all from within the game.

The cheat menu actually has some features of other mods on this list built in, so if you liked the look of some of the mods on the previous page, they may be covered here. This mod—potentially combined with the cheat menu above from the same modder—might be the closest Stardew Valley gets to having a "creative mode" for a while. You can spawn any items you may want directly into your inventory, allowing you to build your dream farm immediately.

Flick on the cheat menu's infinite stamina option and freeze time, and you could build the entire thing before the first day even passes. Item spawners are a powerful tool, and hopefully this will lead to some amazing looking farms that would otherwise taking hundreds of hours to create. Sometimes you get to year five of a farm and have achieved just about everything aside from amassing a fortune. When you've got nothing to do but watch your crops grow, BJS Time Skipper lets you use an Elder Scrolls-esque time waiting function where you choose the number of days you'd like to skip and then watch the days fly by.

If you need more time in your day to farm, the one surefire way to get it is just not sleeping! Stardew Valley forces your farmer to pass out at 2am if they haven't gone to bed yet. With the Night Owl mod, you can stay up forever and never sleep. The game will save at 6am by making it look like you're passing out, but unlike the main game you won't lose items or be forced back home again.

Custom Warps adds a menu to Stardew Valley where you can set and travel to any tile on the game map. It's a cheesy solution to the problem of walking or riding around town, but a cool mod nevertheless!

After ridding Pelican Town of the evil that is Joja Mart, you can instead introduce it to the evils of the internet! Pelican Fiber lets you shop online at any of the valley's stores "even on Wednesday, even on Tuesdays, even at midnight or 6am" says modder Jwdred. Since Marnie is never in her shop when I need her and Wednesday always seems to be the day I need seeds from Pierre, shopping online is a lifesaver that lets me get what I need while still saving those local businesses I fought to protect.

Do you ever remember to shut the doors to your barns and coops at night? I don't. No matter what I do, I always seem to leave my poor animals out in the cold on rainy days. AutoAnimalDoors does the remembering for you by automatically opening and shutting all barns and coops each day. It's a small but life-saving change. This save editor is a seperate tool, not technically a mod, that allows you to adjust certain variables about your save file without having to dig around in a text editor.

Sure, you could use it to cheat money and power into your game, but it also lets you do more difficult things than that. The save editor can be used to cheat your way through the game, but it can also be used to subtly adjust variables that you couldn't control any other way, making it a valuable tool even for those of us using no mods at all.
