I Got Curious About Next Gen Stardew Valley, What Would That Look Like?

[PLEASE COMMENT AND TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS]

Above you can see what I imagine the shipped Stardew Bachelor‘s and Bachelorette‘s offspring might look like.

———————————————————————

More about my Head Cannon Future Stardew Valley:

-Caroline will have found out what Pierre was hiding and decide to divorce him right after Abagail moves out. She will then marry Rasmodius and live with him in a cottage next to his tower.

-Abagail and Sebastian running the Shop: not only will they sell vegetables, now they sell records, books, Salorian Chronicals stuff, stones, and even weapons and money equipment.

- Jas and Leo have gotten married and Jas is now mayor of Pelican Town, living in Lewy‘s old House.

- Lewy and Marnie are now retired and living at the farm together.

-Gus and Pam are in a relationship.

-George has passed, this far into the future I think he kind of has too. If I make this into a mod, that will be the start, a letter or something he wrote explaining how much Stardew valley has changed since he’s been there, not in the same gruff tone he used to have, in a much more sweet and gentle tone, in a way that explains how he’s satisfied with how everything turned out even if he hated change.

-Book club with all the moms every Friday an Bqq night with all the dads on Sunday, with Gus cooking.

-Pierre has moved out

-Vincent has a new girlfriend, he's currently living in Jodi’s house still, if I make this a mod he would move out to Zuzu city with his girlfriend at the end of summer and move back every summer after that, sort of mirroring his dads entrance to pelican town.

-Caroline and Rasmodius have an infant daughter

-Really far out there but Leo is Emily and Haley’s brother who was stranded on ginger island after his parents ship wrecked, I think I’d be really cool if Emily felt a connection to him and when visiting ginger island found the shipwreck and an unsent letter inside saying something along the lines of their parents being pregnant and almost due to have baby Leo.

————————————-

I know not all of this is cannon and some of yall are gonna be pissed but I’m gonna be completely honest, I think this is a really natural look into 15-20 years of Pelican Towns future. I know the ships are iffy for some of you guys but I like them all and think they fit really well.

I really enjoyed putting this together and in my earlier post some of these ideas were from people in there, I don’t know how you @ people but hopefully you know who you are.

Tell me what you do and DON’T like about this?

Wrong mod linked in SMAPI

Hi, I tried searching in my browser and the subreddit but there was only 1 visible thread from 5yrs ago no answer.

Is there a way to correct SMAPI linking the incorrect mod in the updates section?

It says my AT Mason Jars mod is out of date, but it's given me the link to a mod (Gwen's Craftables for AT) I have not downloaded.

Obviously I can try searching for the mod manually, but that doesn't resolve the issue in SMAPI.

Any resources on dialogue mod making?

I’m looking to try and make a dialogue mod for stardew valley but I was looking at the wiki page for it and it makes no sense to me as I don’t have any programming/coding knowledge whatsoever. Are there any like step by step guides out there? Something that lays everything out for you? There was one I saw that was what I was looking for but it was made in 2018 so I wasn’t sure if it would still work with SDV 1.6.

Stardrop as a Linux Noob

hi all!

sorry if this has already been asked, but i didn't have the patience to go through every help post about stardrop. i just switched my pc from windows to linux and found stardrop while making a new mods folder. i am completely inexperienced when it comes to linux/coding and am really struggling to try and figure out stardrop.

my main questions are whether there is a reccomended location i should put my extracted stardrop folder, whether its okay to open the "stardrop.sh" file in a text editor (that's how its opening by default), and what commands i should write to set up stardrop

also, please explain like i'm a child because i am so confused right now

Game lagging despite my pc having a LOT of ram

Ok so my pc has 64 gb of ram and it uses about 20 for sdv when i play modded bc i have an absurd amount of mods, but it still lags. Does this mean my graphics card isn’t good enough? Or is sdv just not meant for this so there’s no way to fix it, lol?

The game runs slowly and freezes from time to time

https://smapi.io/log/a308f34fee714b90818d59546d210b04

Hi, this is my first time on this site, and I'm having a problem with the modded game. Every so often, the game lags and freezes for a while; after a few seconds, I can keep playing. The glitch happens at random times, and I'm not doing anything specific to cause it. I understand this is normal with a modded game, but it's strange that it happens so often and without any pattern.

I've already tried reinstalling all the mods from scratch and restarting my laptop, but none of that works.

Is it possible to player the oldest versions of Stardew Valley?

I have the switch version, but wanted to play the original just to see how things have changed after watching a few youtubers do it and just see all the features that were added. Is it something that you can do, or is it only the most recent version?

Hello, I need help please

I play on Android; I managed to install SMAPI and SV Expanded using tutorials and made some progress in my save file, but now, when I try to get back in, I get a strange error and the game won't load at all—it just shows a black screen and crashes. Here is the link to the error, but I don't understand what's happening. Could someone help me? Sorry if anything is misspelled, English is not my native language

SMAPI won't launch

Hi everyone, I need some help!
I've been playing Stardew Valley with mods using SMAPI through Steam, and everything was working perfectly. Today, I wanted to play a vanilla co-op session with my friends, so I followed some advice on Reddit and launched the game directly via the ⁠StardewValley.exe⁠ file in the game folder. It worked great and we played normally.
However, after finishing the co-op session, I tried to go back to my modded single-player game. Now, SMAPI refuses to open. When I launch the game through Steam, it just opens the Vanilla version directly.

Here is what I've checked so far:
— My ⁠Mods⁠ folder is still intact inside the game directory.
— The SMAPI files (including ⁠StardewModdingAPI.exe⁠) are still in the main folder.
— My Steam Launch Options still have the correct path with ⁠%command%⁠ at the end, but Steam seems to be completely ignoring it now.

Does anyone know why running the vanilla ⁠.exe⁠ once would break the Steam/SMAPI link like this, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance!

HELP I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY SAVE🥲

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone has run into this before because I'm completely stuck.

**My setup:**

* Phone: Honor Magic V3 (Android 16)

* Stardew Valley: 1.6.15.3

* SMAPI Launcher: 1.1.6

* SMAPI: 4.3.2.5

Everything was working perfectly yesterday. I had several mods installed and was actively playing my save with no issues.

Today I downloaded a few more mods (Button's Expanded, Marry Me, PyTK Lite, Mobile Phone, Event Repeater, Hugs and Kisses). After adding them, SMAPI suddenly started crashing as soon as I pressed **Start Game**.

At first I thought it was one of the new mods, so I:

* Removed every new mod.

* Removed **all** mods entirely (empty Mods folder).

* Reinstalled SMAPI.

* Confirmed vanilla Stardew Valley still launches normally.

The problem is that SMAPI still crashes before it even loads any mods.

My log shows:

```

System.MissingMethodException:

Method not found:

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GameWindow.add_TextInput(System.EventHandler<TextInputEventArgs>)

at StardewValley.Game1.Initialize()

```

There are **no mod loading messages** before the crash, which makes me think it isn't actually caused by a specific mod.

Has anyone seen this exact error on Android 16 or Honor devices?

Is this a known issue with SMAPI 4.3.2.5, or is there another fix besides reinstalling? Since vanilla Stardew still works, I'm assuming the issue is somewhere in the SMAPI runtime or patched assemblies.

I've already copied my save file over somewhere and uninstalled and reinstalled but it still doesn't work:(

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Machine Progression System Balanced Configuration?

I've started using the machine progression system and I feel like the current settings are a bit overpowered. I was wondering if anyone has any particular config changes that they recommend to make it more balanced?

I searched on the mod page and saw that there was discussions of a balanced and hard mode, but that was mentioned for a quite a few versions back, so I'm not sure if it is still a thing.

Anyways, any recommendations for machine upgrades that I should turn off or values that should be changed to be more balanced?

Thank you!

What do yall think about cheat mods

I occasionally install CJB on my saves and just use it to do wild stuff like decorating my farm, going to 'illegal' areas of the map and just vibe. Idk if some of yall have played with it and if you have, what are your thoughts?

Mod Creator- Having Issues Consistently Showing Quest Dialogue

I'm currently creating a custom character mod, and at one point I have a quest that prompts you to find and talk to a character, then completes it when you talk to them. I'm currently using include in my content file and edit data in the json to add a custom dialogue option to said NPC, but it wasn't showing up consistently with conversation topics due to how the game handles dialogue priority. I instead pivoted to directly editing the dialogue just for when the quest is active, using when 'HasActiveQuest' to check. But this data doesn't load until you save with that quest active- so you have to wait a day before actually being able to talk to the NPC, activate the dialogue and complete the quest. Is there a way to get this dialogue to the highest possible priority using conversation topics so that I don't have to do the HasActiveQuest condition, or is there a way for me to maybe get SMAPI to check this data again upon loading a new map or something? Or another simpler option I'm missing? Thanks!

Edit: Worth noting that I'm using Content Patcher for this.

Terminal not automatically running when I open Stardew

I know virtually nothing about coding or how any of this stuff works, I just followed youtube tutorials the first time I installed mods for Stardew Valley but a few days ago SMAPI stopped automatically running when I open the game through steam and I can’t figure out a solution. I uninstalled and reinstalled SMAPI multiple times but the problem hasn’t resolved itself. Stardew keeps crashing whenever I try to load one of my saves because the mods aren’t loading. I have absolutely no idea what to do!! Please help!

Trying to install SMAPI the first time.

I've tried to install SMAPI to play Stardew Valley expanded, I extracted the files and moved it to Stardew Valley game files and in Command Prompt this shows up. I hope the problem isn't that my Steam isn't downloaded to Local Disk. What should I do?

The installer failed with an unexpected exception.

Child mod(s) for 4+ children? (PolyamorySweet)

Hi! I've been looking for mods to make children feel more like characters than pets, and I'm using PolyamorySweet with no upper limit for child numbers. I've seen that Immersive Family is not compatible for more than 2 children, but haven't been able to find a lot of info on whether other/similar mods are also incompatible.

Does anyone have recommendations of mods that work with many children?

(I am also using SVE so ideally I'm looking for a mod that's also SVE compatible)
