All three will take care of various other addons. To get it to work with Steam, you’ll see a line after the installer launches that says something like: “F:\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%Ĭopy that, and then right-click on the game in Steam, then select Properties and Launch Options and paste it into the box that appears, including the single quotation mark at the start.Īdditional things to install include Content Patcher, Spacecore, and JSON Assets. Just do that for everything you download.
Here’s an incredibly quick video to show you how to get started when you’ve done that. You just click the mods on the linked pages and select the mod manager as a download. Given that all the stuff here and below can be found on the game’s Nexus page, their Vortex Mod Manager is a decent way of installing everything without too much fuss.
Just a couple of the mods below will make your ground more fertile. Stardew’s modders really have made the farming experience a lot more parsable, meaning your work there can be as automated and as sharply focused as you like. I’ve been picking games recently where the modders have expanded tools and mechanics in order to craft an ideal version of the game, so a fair few of the mods here focus on quality of life again.
If you’re not terribly good at farming, don’t worry. This time it’s Stardew Valley, the game where you begin with a run-down farm and simply try and make it work. I’m once again hacking my way through the undergrowth on the hunt for mods.
