My next big city

Same person who made Heron Bay, if anyone remembers that place :)
I am back again with a new location I've been working on. I don't have a name yet, but it's basically a tropical/vacation-like town. Lore stuff isn't 100% worked out yet, but I'll get to it eventually.

I will need to credit all the mods when I wake up tomorrow; I can't find them in my search history which I think is really bizarre.

I would have tagged this under ginger island, but I used mods to make it have buildable buildings and didn't want to mislead anyone.

Can removing the free love mod make my spouses unable to have kids with me?

So I was having some compatibility mods with Free love so I removed it and just opted out of having the spouses. Right before I removed the mod, my spouse asked for a child and I said no, because the mod was causing issues for me and I was about to remove it ( the question was getting in the way of my save data ). After that incident and removing the mod, I had to re-marry my spouse because the game decided that I was married to someone else whom I divorced. but now, it's been over half an in game year ( 3 seasons out of 4 ), and my spouse has not asked for kids. I am starting to wonder if my game is bugged because I've never had it be this long a wait.

Mouse visible by default on Friend's account?

So my friend plays on both my acount and his account sometimes because my computer is starting to decline. One of the things I notice is on his account, he has the mouse curser without having to press the alt key, but on my account he has to press it. Is there a reason for this? Is his game bugged? Mine? A setting? I don't really know, but I would love to not have to strain my hand pressing alt anymore if this isn't a bug but a setting.

Moving the spouse rooms, need help understanding.

Edit: well, it seems that having added this mod has caused issues for my house where if I leave the house and re-enter it, it crashes. This was before doing anything with the mod files. Not sure why this happens.

I will feel kind of silly for needing help with this, but I have poor comprehension skills with what I am supposed to do and it sounds to me like I have to edit game files and not just something in my game's settings, which makes me a bit worried about messing up.

Basically, I need to move two rooms ( I have 3 ). I want to move one here:

or here if the previous is impossible

and one over here:

the stairs are sadly blocked, because, going up those stairs now crashes my game and it's annoying :'(

The house type I am using is called Kisaa's cozy rustic home: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/30038

Again I am really sorry if it's like an obvious thing or something, but I am just really not good with this kind of stuff and get worried about corrupting my games and stuff like that. Thank you for the assistance!

City furniture mods?

Hi, me again, and sorry I've been coming around so much like this. I have a hard time searching and finding things and I find that it is easiest for me to ask these questions WHILE searching because I know that the modding community is big(ish? if it's not big my bad but I always got the impression it was).

I can't seem to find any on nexus mods but maybe I searched for the wrong stuff. I am trying to build my next location through SDV farm layouts, and the next one I want to create is my city. But alas, this means I need city styled buildings and such. Alt texture or content patcher (?) is fine, both are good. I don't need to be able to interact with anything, because I only customize the farms, and then I don't play them ever again xP Anything that will help make my farm look like a busy city like zuzu is most helpful. I have ideas already with certain items, but mainly need help with buildings and if there's anything that lets you have cars as an AT...

Introducing: Heron Bay ( and my SDV farms as a whole I guess )

I put modded because my SDV stuff uses mods... like, mods are a very centric part of it as I repurpose various mods to create my lore and story. I don't really know what subreddit would be most appropriate for this, but since this post is showcasing all of my farm work for it, I think It will be most appreciated here.

Please bare in mind that I am NOT A MAP MAKER and I struggled really bad with making the map. It makes things look less compressed than I think they should be. Also some seasons aren't aligned because I wasn't gonna change the seasons for the screenshots.

Also we're gonna need to use our imaginations on the islands because I did my best with the mods to make it look like the town sits mainly on planks and stuff (stone probably would've made more sense but planks looked better), but it's really not perfect. Like, it was a rough process.

---

Heron Bay, or referred to as Heron Town by the people in Pelican Town, is a town built mostly on small islands, with their biggest island (the mainland ) a little ways away. The people of Heron Town were very closed off from outsiders up until Grandpa Ray's daughter Angie would come to his farm to take care of him in his final years. During her years there, Angie saw the struggles of the dying town. Everyone knew each other, and everyone seemed a bit miserable. So she decided to venture out, and came upon Pelican Town, and unified the two towns. Things got more lively over time as the two towns began sharing their resources. Heron Town has a school, so the kids of Pelican Town attend school there, and Pelican Town has a doctor, so when people get sick or need medical assistance, they go to Harvey or he comes to them (yeah crazy that the town doesn't have a hospital 😭 )

This map is a GENERAL IDEA of what I imagine, made by me in Paint Tool SAI and MSPaint. But I forgot to state that Ridgeside Village is also part of my universe in the sense that it exists as a location and the people live there (IDK any npc storylines or anything so those don't really apply at this time )

The islands in full glory, though technically they should be mirrored. I forgot to flip the images. Also the daytime version I forgot to put the lamps in the town, but they're in the night time version.

Night version.

The hangoout spot. It's supposed to be an outdoor-ish venue supported on planks, with the upstairs being the owner's house. I don't know if that would actually make sense, but my friend whom I made this for really liked the idea so that's what I went with.

Fishing store -- this is probably the only thing that Pelican Town and heron Bay have in common that isn't having a Joja mart.

Jojamart Mini --- because Joja is everywhere 🌈✨

Now that I've shared all of the small island areas ( because the barn and coop are literally just a barn and coop with the beds of the npc characters who would own them ), we can move onto the mainland!

The main island. Not really sure what to say about it. I know in this image it doesn't look like an island, but, I imagine that it has a lot of forest around it, kind of like how Deltarune's Hometown has a lot of forest around it.

The sportsbar. We can pretend the flat screen TVs are like mounted on the walls.

Movie Theatre! Though, I imagine it being way more compact since this game is a case of \"bigger on the inside\". x_ x ;;

Aquarium. In this universe of SDV, Kittyfish are native to Heron Bay, instead of being magical fish that are summoned. It is the same with puppyfish, though they are less common in Heron Bay.

School. From left to right: Kinder-first, Second to 5th, Middleschool ( 6 - 8th where I live ), and then high school.

Library + Cafe

Daycare. The owner of the daycare lives on the second floor.

Restaurant -- the owner of the restaurant lives in his store. The stone wall represents an actual wall, and the opening is where the door would be. The restaurant should be a fair bit smaller.

EDIT: I FORGOT THE CHURCH!!! WHICH IS FUNNY BECAUSE THE CHURCH WAS THE FIRST ONE I MADE AND THE REASON I HUNTED FOR A MUSIC ADDING MOD................

The church. Just pretend that the catalog is directly next to the plaque (?) and there's a jukebox so that custom music can play. I unfortunately don't have a more updated image of the church, but nothing really changed.

I just want to say thank you to all the people who've helped me out with finding some mods for these places. I think that might've been more common on StardewValleyMods subreddit, but I also got some suggestions on here with what to do with the layout to make it look lived in and like a real town. I get a bit overwhelmed with lots of space, so when I saw 4 corners farm I absolutely loved the idea of making a town. I tried making Xanadu City on it years ago, but it didn't really work out. If I can find more city-adjacent looking mods ( cars and stuff ), I'll definitely try my hand at making it, since it is a major location in my SDV lore.

Mod credits:

To be honest, I have no idea what mods I actually used for this whole thing. So I'm just crediting the mods that I use.

Stardew Valley Expanded, Ridgeside Village, Mirren the Florist, HxW Content packs (custom buildings and furniture), water ripple, community pack decor, Hearthtunes (for the deltarune and undertale music I use for the buildings), medieval sheds, and I don't know what it's called, but there's a plushie pack with like tons of plushies of various npcs and content creators for the game.

Play set mods?

Are there any mods that allow you to make a playground on your farm? I am building a small town on the 4 corners farm and I want the playground I am making to have more than just the two horse swinging things ( IDK what they're actually called but you sit on them and rock back and forth ). I feel like it is a bit lack luster without swings and a slide - or even just one or the other.

My almost complete Town ( farm )

I finally completed the town I created on my four corners farm. I will also be extending this town into another save file as it is actually a town in my SDV universe called Heron Bay or "Heron Town" ( yeah I am sticking with the bird theme for the towns ).

This is the "mainland" of the town, though, there are other parts of it in the outskirts (riverland farm layout), since this town is actually made up of several islandish land masses south of the forest.

The only part I am really stuck on now is that I don't know what to do with the land right near my house. Any suggestions, I am open to hearing them! After that, I will work on the interiors that I haven't completed.

Mods I use for this I believe are Stardew Valley expanded, Ridgeside Village, East Scrap, Community Park Decorations, HxW Custom Buildings + HxW furniture packs, Mirren the Florist, ... there are probably some other mods that I have used, but I do not know the rest just by looking at the image.

Would love to see drawings of my OC >w<

I don't really know how this sub works and when I tried to post twice I got knocked with the "your post might break rules" but checking both rules that it said I might break it looked fine? So if I messed up here let me know how.

Anyways, than kyou to anyone who draws her, I look forward to whatever is created ; w ;

Trying to build a new town on my farm.

I marked in the image what all the buildings are. However I don't know what buildings I should use to make other places? It feels bare to me right now, like I could make the town look more lived in. It's supposed to be like a small town sort of vibe, think like Deltarune's small town. I basically just feel like there is too much open space, but I don't know what else to add or what mods to use to add those things. Any suggestions are appreciated, and if there are mods to other buildings I can build, please let me know.

[For Hire] Commissions are open again!

Hello everyone! I am posting my commissions here again after a while of having not posted here. I am trying again though to see if I can get some income as I continue my job hunting experience.

I am primarily a character designer and have designed OCs for my friends a number of times for commission work, with a unique style that blends cartoon and anime as my biggest inspirations. I personally avoid complex designs like heavy armor and extensive detail ( final fantasy levels of detail ). I only do SFW content.

My Commission rates and ToS: https://esmeloveskriscomms.carrd.co/

My Commission Portfolio: https://esmeloveskrisartgallery.carrd.co/
( prices on these are the prices I charge current day ).

Please either email me at the email provided in the ToS or leave a comment below and I will get back to you ( commenting is the best for me to be notified, but email would be most practical. I do not share my discord (which many have asked for which is why I state this here)).

I am unsure if this is allowed to be stated, but the best way to pay is Ko-fi.

Artwork provided on this reddit post is both commission work and personal work.

More Valentine Farm and Elly's SDV lore stuff!

Hello hello! I posted on here a few days ago when I first made my house; since then I've added nearly all the major sdv mods ( ridgeside village, expanded, etc. ) and had to completely restart my farms because of plants growing on people's houses and what-not in the modded areas. So I am sharing now my new and improved houses, AS WELL AS their warp-door rooms, and my church. I am currently trying to do a music mod to replace some songs with songs that I feel would be playing in the various locations.

Here is the Valentine House again, with the explanation of each rooms over on this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/FarmsofStardewValley/comments/1v5ym2j/the_interiors_ive_created_so_far/

I also include:

  • my Wizard's daughter character's house
  • a town I am working on as
  • the interior of a church I built out of a tea sanctuary mod.

If there are any other mods for new buildings to build on your farms, I'd love to know what they are. I am not too sure how to fill up the rest of my town, since it's not meant to be a farm necessarily. While not shown, I did plant a flowerbed area in the mid-lower-right area Near the pet bowl. The green house has also been moved, and the golden clock has been placed. This is a pretty primitive screenshot of my town, and I will post a more updated version soon.

The Interiors I've created so far !

I wanted to share my interiors since that's something I really value sharing, but I don't really get comments or likes on the regular sdv subreddit. So I found this one and decided to press my luck.

These houses have lore to them as I write stardew valley fiction in my head and hope to some day write it for real and post like on wattpad or something.

If people like this, then I'll share the town I am making afterwards.

In order:

  1. The Valentine house ( Attic - Noelle's room. Upper floor: reading room, children's bedroom, Haley and Farmer Haru's bedroom. First floor: Esme's room, kitchen, dining room, living room (ignore the spouse room, I didn't want to divorce just to get rid of it ) Nook: bathroom. Bottom floor: bathroom and laundry room.
  2. Noelle's sanctuary of sorts I guess. I just didn't want her room looking like this officially - it's basically a recreation of what her bedroom originally looked like.
  3. The goodwin family house. ( Attic: leads to the balcony, used as storage space up top. Second floor: hallway to personal rooms, children's room ( angie and Harvey ), transitional room (IDK what else to call it ?? ) Harvey and Angie's bedroom. First floor: Kitchen, Dining room, living room, bottom floor: Kids bedroom ( Elliot and Angie's kids, as Elliot and Angie are divorced ).
  4. Mikhail's room ( which he later shares when Shane moves in )
  5. Desire's room
  6. Penelope's room
  7. Grandpa Ray's personal suite.

Now for the credits --- which, I am crediting more than just the furniture and interior settings because all the mods credited do appear in some way and I just think it's wrong to not credit them.

Credits:

  • First off, Mirren is from the "Mirren the Florist" Mod and belongs to SpecialAgentJonson.
  • Many of these mod packs come from HimeTarts and Wildflourmods. I don't know every single pack that I have downloaded or all the furniture I've used, but I know that TONS of these houses used mods from them.
  • Some of the flowers are by Orangeblossom, as well as the wide windows
  • Some of the additional "dimensional rooms" were made by crystalinerose and Sharogg
  • Bathroom furniture not by HxW is by Pixeltica
  • Alternate telephone is by Molamole
  • Rattan furniture is by PlatinumCats
  • Artist Debris is by SmallCopper
  • Blue and Pink furniture by Th3Fishhh
  • New hairstyles mod was created by Speremint

Can I download more than one hair pack without messing things up?

I want to download lots of different hairs that I find, but I don't know how the game numbers them. Will it mess up my previous downloads?

A few sustains

I just have a couple questions.

1.) what are people’s stances on yumeing characters from mods? Like for example stardew valley has lots of mods, and some of those mods add in new characters. But these aren’t official — is this like the equivalent to yumeing someone’s oc? It feels different since it’s a public mod meant to be played and consumed by others, but I don’t really know where I stand there. I strictly don’t yume people’s ocs, but mod characters to me is a grey area since the characters are made for others to enjoy.

2.) I made a yume intro a while ago but I didn’t introduce all my yumeships. Should I remake my intro and delete the old one, or just make a new intro? I don’t want to be seen as spamming the subreddit or anything, but I also tend to upload as I go. What’s the best thing for me to do here?

u/EsmeValentine — 4 months ago

Yume introduction !!

Hello! I’m a little shy about this, as I don’t think I’ve ever posted here. Or maybe I posted once. I cannot remember. But I’ve never done a yume introduction because it is a vulnerable thing for me to do. But I finally finished my yume template and wanted to share and introduce myself.

Update: I forgot to state this but I am strictly non sharing with him. Like sharing NG.

(( credits are all in the image itself but if necessary I’ll update this and add them in ))

You guys can call me Noelle. This is my yumeship for Persona 5: the phantom x. However I write mine like an AU, in the sense that I write p5x’s events like a continuation of persona 5 Royal. I won’t go too much into writing an entire college essay about all of that.

I’m very reserved for some personal reasons, especially in the persona fandom space. But this is my favorite series and Shoki is wonderful, to me.

I also have familial FOs:
Yoshizawa ( persona 5 Royal )
Mitsuru Kirijo ( persona 3 )
Lala Escargot ( persona 5 )
Maruki ( persona 5 Royal )

Update:
Other yumes from persona series include
Yosuke (p4 — sharing)
Makoto (p3 — selective sharing (mainly NS))
Ai Ebihara (p4 — platonic/best friendship)
Nagisa/wonder (p5x — selective sharing (mainly NS))

These characters have a version of Sayaka that is catered to them, as she is my persona yume oc overall and I make a new version of her per installment to better fit with the cast.

I also have yumes in different fandoms but I’m not ready to branch out and share those right now. Shoki is my primary FO and I consider myself a shoki Ikenami Riako.

My “yume sona” is more of an oc. I’ve developed her, she is the ex girlfriend to my ex-FO in this fandom, and I have focused on developing her story independent from me. She’s not just me inserted into the world of persona.

Final note: I don’t do orientation headcanons for canon characters. I’m asexual and don’t think much about what the canon character is attracted to. In my head they’re attracted to my oc and that’s it really. I don’t ship cc x cc so I don’t really have reference. I respect other people’s ships.

Would anyone be interested in drawing either of my stardew girls?

I haven’t posted on here in a while so I figured I would now. I have made these two ocs for my stardew valley story, left is the farmer character and right is an oc I made that is her sister and is a city girl (not a farmer but gets along with the animals really well). I wanted to share their designs to see if anyone would be interested in drawing them. Thank you to those who decide to. ♡ it is an honor :)

I usually crop this image so it’s just the characters but decided to keep all the information in case it brings some inspiration.
