Stardew Mods for Chronic Chill Hangout
Dec. 24th, 2021 01:13 pmLearn to mod with SMAPI
Check if mods are updated or have patches/replacement mods
Recommendations lists from Stardew modding community (by modder, play type, etc)
Quality of Life / Gameplay
UI Infosuite 2 - icons added under calendar for reminders of birthdays, tool upgrades, Queen of Sauce reminder, etc. Calendar & help wanted quest board added to player menu. Icons over animals for if they have not been milked/sheared/petted. How many days to harvest when hovering over crops.
Joys of Efficiency - Saves a ton of clicks with auto harvests (crops, machines, berry bushes), auto waters, auto pets, auto barn doors & gates. Many config options (I usually have flowers set to one color per type). Holding an item and hovering over an NPC should tell you gift reaction info.
LookUp Anything - hover over any item/NPC (even a non-filled in item on the collections tabs) and press F1 for an information screen. Great for fishing information, what you're missing, and works from the calendar for NPC gifting information. Owned loved & liked gifts are highlighted when you pull up an NPC.
Event Lookup - go to menu social tab, click an NPC, and then "events" to see what's needed for viewing their event (time, location). You can also "forget" an event to repeat it (great for if you accidentally skipped). Especially helpful when you have custom NPCs downloaded.
Pacifist Valley - killing monsters becomes cuddling. Weapons turned into hearts and teddy bears. Config file allows you to set to no damage from monsters, that they ignore player unless approached, etc.
TimeSpeed - options for freezing or controlling the flow of time in the Stardew day.
To-Dew - to-do feature, can set an item to only appear when time/etc is met (example: fishing when it rains in fall).
Recolor/Reshade - there are a lot of mods that change the overall world colors.
DaisyNiko's Earthy Recolor - dig spot is a bright green clover and very visible.
Vibrant Pastoral Recolor - features a green fall option, lots of flowers.
Misc Helpful Additions:
Better Junimo - junimo huts can harvest a larger area and do more tasks (work in rain/winter, plant, fertilize, clear dead crops). Configure it to pay your junimo in fruit, flowers, forage, and/or wine for their work. Optional early junimo hut availability and lower hut price. Pair with Junimo Dialog for maximum cuteness.
Silo Size - silos will now default to 1000 hay storage or change the config so you only need one. Notifies you each morning of amount in silo.
CatGifts - cats will leave occasional gifts on your doorstep, dogs will dig things up around the farm (can be anything from trash to gems).
Horse Overhaul - pet, water, & feed your horse daily to increase friendship (and speed!). Horse has saddlebags and can be used as a mobile chest. Compatible with most commonly used horse and stable replacing mods.
Festival End Time Tweaks - unofficial update here on the forums - if festival says it's over at 2pm, you spawn at farmhouse at that time instead of 10pm. Where were you for 8 hours? For the rest of the day businesses will be closed, spouses will usually be in bed, and if you run into an NPC they give festival dialog.
Better Shop Menu - can sort and filter in shops, very helpful if you've added a lot of crop mods especially.
Mods Cedars Just Really Likes - I get mod crazy
Animals Need Water - fill the water bucket in your coops & barns daily (until the largest upgrade with auto-feeder) or your animals will complain.
Love of Cooking - Overhaul - Adds a cooking skill, ingredients, recipes. Must upgrade your skillet at Clint's to cook with more ingredients, and oils increase quality of cooked items. Pair with Community Kitchen (add a cooking bundle to community center) and any mod that forces you to eat cooked meals daily.
Coop & Barn Facelift - no junk sitting around & broken boards (seriously Robin just built it!), can also pick a wall color in config.
More Fish - since I always mod out the fishing mini game, having more fish makes it harder to obtain what you're looking for. Also some funny ones that can only be caught one day, etc
Visible Fish
George and Evelyn Developed - though I had to modify some of the recipes from this mod to make them compatible with Love of Cooking, some had too many ingredients for the new interface.
East Scarp expansion, related NPCs, and really anything Lemurkat does.
FellowClown's custom NPCs (check out Magical Family)
