Modding:Player Guide
Do you want to play Stardew Valley with mods? This guide is for you!
Intro
What are mods?
A mod is just a package of files which changes Stardew Valley in some way. Mods can add features (like showing NPCs on the map), change game mechanics (like making fences decay more slowly), make cosmetic changes (like making your house look like a hobbit home), and more.
Are mods complicated to use?
Using mods is easy! You just need to...
- Install SMAPI. This is the mod loader for Stardew Valley — it launches the game with mod support and lets mods interact directly with the game code. It's safely installed alongside your normal game, and you can uninstall it anytime.
- Unzip mods into your Mods folder.
That's about it!
