Stardew Valley mod: Seasonal NPCs

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10999

This mod was started because I had conflicts between various Portrait/Sprite mods and Stardew Valley expansions like SVE and RSV.

Sometimes I don’t know why I still put hours into such an old game (1000+ hours now, haha), but it’s definitely something that I keep coming back for comfort.

During these plays, I found myself increasingly wanting to customize various aspect of the game, especially the NPCs. A big part of it is stylish preference (I tend to like certain styles that are more common in older anime manga). It’s also nice to see variety after playing for so long.

I used to have lots of portraits and character sprites mods. However, because the load order and different programming styles, they ended up conflict with each other. So at first I started a mod where I can program these changes correctly.

In the midst of that, I got interested in pixel art. So the thought became: how about actually customizing the game assets myself. This led me down to learn a completely new skillset in drawing, which turned out to be a fun hobby, too. Thus, I attempted to create extra outfits that each NPCs that matches the seasons.

The mod is incomplete, as other priorities in work, life and recently my own work for “Have a sip” have picked up. However, it’s here if you still play Stardew Valley:

Credits: I just based my edits on Ohodavi’s incredible work for the Stardew Valley’s anime portraits. He’s a talented artist and produce much better quality work than my shabby things.

Here are some samples:

The base characters are from Ohodavi’s mod, with the (shabby, lol) extra outfits are made by me :P
