Hey, might I ask where your profile picture is from? Is there any reference or such? It looks so cute..it somehow touched my heart, I d love to have it as reference to draw it.
The Animal Husbandry mod makes me laugh a little, because of how much it assures you that you are not butchering the animals, no sir. It's just waving a magic wand!
For anyone who's using the seasonal outfits mod: you CAN give the characters their noses back (it bothered me so much too!), just go into the config file and there will be an option for noses!!
@@yuki_foxsoul8425 yeah the seasonal outfit mod changes the sprites so that the NPCs and the farmer lose their noses essentially lol (not talking about the portraits, but the moving character sprites)
Ye it's on the mod's description and files stuff I do prefer without them tho Also there's that Leo retexture mod, that also has compatibility with SeasOut, which I absolutely love
You can't just show us a Junimo amongus retexture mod and not share it with us. Great video, really like how you broke up the mods into specific categories depending on what you're looking to do.
UI Info Suite 2.0 is a LIFESAVER. That shit is essential, you get so much more out of the UI with this mod, man I'd recommend even first-time players to get it!
The mod I can't live without is the skull cavern elevator. I've driven myself crazy enough times trying to make it to floor 100 in a mad dash that the elevator is so worth it. And then for the rest of the game I can have fun mining on floor 300
Totally agree!!!! I used to never go into the skull cavern until I got that mod. Starting at the beginning where there's nothing every single time just wasn't fun or enjoyable or worth it to me at all. Now that I have the elevator I'm at the skull cavern CONSTANTLY having a blast
While that isn't how the skull cavern was designed to be played, I can only imagine how helpful that is - I wish I had known about this before I poured hours and hours into getting better at SC... too late to turn back now, but I hope other people see your comment (and the mod in general) so they don't have to go down the dark route most of us did :')
@Sarah Hierl why not use the crystalariums you can get from some bundles from the community center? duplicate some jade then on sunday you can trade it with the dessert trader for staircases?
@@TimeLady8 oh no i understood the point of the mod, i'm asking the person why they're collecting stone to make staircases instead of trading jade in the first place.
Tractor Mod can cut trees, you have to go into the mod options from the menu with keybinds. You can also change how big of an area to clear/plant/water
Does anyone know how to configure the tractor mod in 1.6? No payment or quest required - I used to just have to press the backspace bar and it would appear @salmence any help?!
@@TheDontGo have you tried the config/.json file? I haven't used the tractor mod in a while, so it may have changed for the 1.6 patch, but I remember there just being a true/false value you had to switch to make it summon immediately.
Fun fact, as a vegetarian, I did not realise that all of the cooking in the vanilla game is vegetarian, up until now when I discovered the magic-meat-cleaver-wand-mod. :'-)
@@Mrsircuddlesworth You're right. I misread the tone of the question and tried to make a point that fish isn't consistently considered as meat so there's wiggle room. I somehow forgot there was a term for those that eat fish and whatnot instead of land based critters.
@@Mrsircuddlesworth While it doesn't really make sense, the status of fish as meat has absolutely been debatable throughout history. You can label it pescatarian instead of vegetarian but that doesn't change the fact that adherents of multiple religions, when faced with prohibitions against eating meat, proceeded to eat fish "instead". And stardew valley and games like it are examples of how this inclination people have to view killing and eating fish as somehow different from doing the same to terrestrial animals has continued into the modern day. Having killed and eaten both fish and chickens, I don't personally get it. The experiences are pretty similar to me. But it would be silly to ignore that quite a few people, both past and present, do actually see fish meat as somehow not the same as other animals' meat.
I recommend the "Chest Anywhere Mod" as the name says, you can access every chest anywhere, its really great to use when you're grinding in skull cavern
Automate is also a pretty nice QOL mod. If you haven't heard of it, it allows machines to automatically pull from nearby storage blocks and process them. (You might have already gone over this mod, sorry)
This mod is my life, I can just put a machine besides a chest, add coal and ores or bait or fruit and it will process automatically. You can configure it so only some things connect chests (I think you could limit automation to only stone chests, I'm not sure) and it's amazing for playing a second time once you already experienced the grind or picking everything by hand and now want to focus on villagers and exploring and have more time
I am kinda conflicted about this mod, since doing things is what this game is all about,l. But, on the other hand, having only 2 mayo machines that run the whole day instead of 12 that run only for one operation is great. Maybe, this game needs an extractor that can pull out ready products. This could also make trash recycler good.
For anyone wanting to try MAGIC mod, then PLEASE: remember that it is not really updated so expect a few bugs (the buffs spell ruins your day), and there are also some major op spells. (and a way to get infinite mana). But the mod is pretty fun, just dont expect a balanced and perfect mod :)
I know this video is old but I just got into modding. I am so grateful that you added a “Required Mods” section. This has saved me a lot of time to make sure everything runs smoothly
My brother in Christ I installed so many mods and now it’s so much fun exploring the content. Had the goofiest smile for a while there too lol No idea how big the modding scene for stardew valley was. I was playing for hundreds of hours on Switch and didn’t think modding was necessary until I did pretty much everything in the base game. Great video dude
This is the sort of video I've been looking for for a long time. I've always been aware of the existence of Stardew Valley mods, but I've been content with the base game and not really known what I've missed out on or what my options could be to make it better. But this video has given me an excellent introduction. Thanks a lot for making it, I definitely will check out some of these!
Oh my God, that animal husbandry mod sounds amazing. You can tell that they were just snarking off at the people who were outstanding that they added *gasp* butchery! to a farming game.
I just started playing Stardew valley again after a few years and really never got to finish the game. With all these new mods I really am enjoying the game and wanting to complete it thank you
I don't exactly disagree with any of these mod load outs however I would personally suggest adding CJB Cheats to slightly buff up move speed at all times. And Timespeed mod to give yourself a little bit of extra time per in game day. If your adding in mods like Stardew Expanded etc. Your going to need that speed and time to keep up with tons of new content and NPCS. Just my opinion those are quality of life mods I can't do without. Oh and Zoomlevel I think it's called? But I could be wrong. So CJB Cheats for maybe 3-5 move speed buff. Timespeed give yourself at least extra 20% time per day. Zoomlevel so you can zoom out a little further. And then use any of the suggested mod sets in this video. This is my opinion only.
I'm surprised you didn't include CJB Show Item Sell Price. Such a wonderful, unintrusive mod. Mouse over an item or stack, and it shows you what it sells for, both for an individual item, and the whole stack. Really useful when you're trying to figure out just how much you need to fish up to be able to afford the upgrade/building/etc that you need.
This really helped me. Your mod playlist has the most helpful information period on mods for beginners. I really appreciate the way you thought this through and organized it for this vid. Applause!
For moderate modding I recommend cjb cheats in order to just test out things, get an actual overview of what is possible to get and so on Its great for video making when you want to show off something but just don't have that specific item
Amazing lists, and thank you for typing them in the description, too. I just started my first mod playthrough. I'm on day 11 of my first spring, I hope it's not too late to add more mods to my game.
You can actually cut down trees with the tractor mod but it requires you going into the mod file and changing the settings which is pretty easy to do but a bit overwhelming.
This is a great video! I somewhat recently started modding sdv. I think I have sooo many mods installed, but it's really cool seeing that there are some cool ones I've missed!
for my first modded and pc playthrough I got SVE, tractor mod, anime portraits, and a foliage mod and it had a been everything I have ever dreamed of and more.
This game is so beautiful in the sense that you can find a mod for ANY kind of niche love all on the same sort of software so they’re basically entirely different games
Definitely going to love those first mods. And i think i'm gonna stamp it there and save the rest for another time. Thanks for sharing. Very helpful and time saving for the rest of us. 4:38 For further modding for my self.
i never see people mention the magic mod, it's one of my favorite mods, it's so useful and fun to use, plus the rp and story elements of the farmer learning magic are fun to play around with :D
Good guide for people new to modding SV or interested in what others find popular. I just came back to Stardew with a new file and mods for the first time. Expanded mod, NPC locations and automate were my first downloads. Nexus Mods has so many things to choose from and now I’m going back because your highlight of the Cooking and Dialogue expansion seemed to add just what I wanted.
I've had Stardew Valley on ps4 for a while, then got it on the Switch so it was only a matter of time before I got it on pc. I got some mods just yesterday and it has been amazing seeing what people have done with the game! I only wish I had remembered the tractor mod before I had cleared up pretty much my entire farm lol
My first Stardew Valley playthrough was on the PS4 and on the switch. Now I have a pc and I am so curious about modding 😍 this is such a great video for beginners, to have a clue of what you can do with mods. Thank you for this kind of content 🎉
i love the balanced tractor mod. having it off the bat is really op, but it becomes a nice time saver when you're a the point where you can spend the batteries and iridium
One thing I’ve GOT TO make sure y’all get: magic mod can get VERY OP very fast, especially if you have a prestige mod like Walk of Life. Magic Missile being called a “weak, heat-seeking missile” is a joke, because in reality it’s pm a low-cost one-shot for most enemies in the game, and at most a 2-shot for the vast majority of enemies you will ever face at level 10 combat (there are 1 or 2 enemies in expansions like Ridgeside that will take more than this, but that doesn’t include the fact that this & many other spells are extremely spammable). If you’re using Magic Mod, just be aware that you should *probably* do your own balancing beforehand & try to see if you can tweak mana costs on your own before the game essentially gives you a free out to any situation.
Should add that some of those mads require support mods for them to work correctly. Especially the novice users need to know that since some might shy away from adding them out of confusion or fear. Great vid I just added a couple of nice mods I didn't know about. Thanks
for Light Mods i would have added the BetterSort and the WindEffects Mods, on the mid section i would have added an Scythe Mod and the East Scarp Mod, and for the heavy Pack i would have definetly added the Automate Mod. i still like your list, good choices for beginners to get familiar with mods without blowing it out of proportions, though SVE is pretty massive to be honest. :D
You should do another Best mods video now that 1.6 has dropped, and since some cool stuff has come out since this video. Also, mods are good content!!!
half of the mods you showed are combined in the UI Info Suite 2 mod, it willshow people on map, will tell you how long before fruit is ready, if animals need to be petted, the sell price of your items
one mod i honestly can't live without is the accessible shop mod, i dont remember the name of it 100% but it does what it says basically, it lets you buy shit from Marnie without needing her to be there, cause she's never there when you need her
This guide is too late for me. lol A friend dragged me to play Stardew Valley mod with him. He installs: -Stardew Valley Expanded -Ridgeside Village -East Scarp -Stardew Aquarium -Walk to Desert and a lot more I don't remember. So my first impression is I feel overwhelmed. The first quest told me to introduce myself to over a hundred people. I never feel like I have time to get anything done, and the fact time always moves even in situations where it would stop in the single player. Want to read random events with NPC dialogs? Too bad, it's already 2 AM and you'll pass out the moment that cutscene ends. We installed Multiplayer time mod but there was a problem connecting that we spent 3 hours before we could start playing. So we uninstalled it. He didn't stop at 100 mods of his either, occasionally he added a few more. Eventually, it came to the point where I couldn't even play on his server for 5 minutes before lagging out and disconnected. So I stopped playing with him. Nowadays I play Stardew Valley mostly vanilla with only portrait mods. My friend said he can't live without mods. I will probably play modded again after 1.6 comes out and all major mods are updated.
The way I lit up seeing that cooking mod!! Oh my gosh!! How have I never seen that before?!? Edit: AND THE WEATHER MOD?? Clearly I've only been into light modding before and it's time for me to step up. :P
definitely not yet interested in expanded or really any visual mods (yet, at least) but having fun with the basically cheating chests anywhere/ convenient chests mods as well as UI suit 2, upgrades for things that aren't upgradable (pan, bucket, sheers) and a few bits and pieces I've picked up from this video and elsewhere... It's actually so great. Better ranching, spring in the bat/mushroom cave... Choosing stuff that helps you with annoying challenges... while making sure not to trivialise too much (at least, not quickly) at the same time. I have my switch for non-mods. But I freely admit to going crazy with them!
Yeah, 100% agree that Illit sound just like NewJeans. I can definitely see them bought performing and owning this song. Its hypocrisy of some people to denie the similarities, when a few months ago they were throwing BabyMonster under the bus for the similarities with BlackPink on BatterUp
Does the tractor use energy or supplies, it looks like it took a lot of the later game stuff purposes away, like how the upgraded watering can and hoe can work on a big plot of land at once.
I'm waiting for the mod update that's apparently coming our way to try out any of the more elaborate mods, cause I have tried and failed to install things like stardew expanded, cause there's just so many different files needed, I keep messing it up. for now I'm gonna stick to the quality of life mods, but I can't wait to check out all the bigger ones eventually
Hey Sal, Thank you for all the detailed and lovely tutorials on so many SDV topics! I finally got SDV on PC and am looking forward to try out my first ever modded game. But one question still remains: If I start right of with all mods from the light AND the medium package (and add a couple more from your other videos) will my laptop survive that? How many mods can you add into one save file before it crashes?
I was considering getting the the tractor mod even though tractors and medieval aesthetics don't go together at all, just because the tractor seemed useful... then you mentioned the magic mod ❤
"the tractor does not destroy trees unfortunately" generic mod configuration fixes that. lets you configure all your mods- that are compatible with this one- in-game, aka making it so Tractor CAN destroy trees for example.
I wish you would do some more in-depth mod reviews for mods you showed here, I'm super interested in the love for the cooking mod but cannot really play mods since I'm a switch player
I just recently started playing again, I got discouraged missing only 2 items for the museum back in April 2017, and the achievements I was missing were Prairie King, Fector's Challenge, Mystery of the Stardrops, Legend, and A complete collection. Upon return wow a lot has been added, and I managed to finish up both Complete collection and Mystery of the stardrops in a few hours (especially thanks to the addition of secret notes/journal scraps). Being back in the game I've been watching a lot of stardew content while I play. Until I saw the heavy category also included stardew expanded and then several other decent sized mods, I was surprised seeing it listed at only a medium. Once I get those 2 prairie king related achievements I think I'll move on to modded games, and I'll be using some of your suggestions from this video, as well as trying out stuff from your other videos.
I know you JUST did a stardew play through over the last year, but could you see yourself recording a heavy modded play through? Or not even a whole pt series but playing periodically on twitch?
I tried downloading the Stardew valley expansion mod but some of the required mods don't work, which is probably the reason why the mod itself doesn't do anything. What should I do now? If I open the game Smapi lists all of your mods right? some of the required mods turn yellow and it sais that they'll break after the next Smapi update. help pls TvT
Hi! I'm very new to modding and I've only got a million questons lol. I've downloaded all the framework mods and the mods themselves for SVE, Ridge Side Village and a cheat menu and I want a few more. I'm afraid of adding mods even though it seems like a non-issue tbh, it seems like you can switch them pretty freely. So I guess my question is how safe is it to mess with mods and how will it affect my game long-term? I spent years on consoles and have very little computer knowledge outside of web browsing so all this stuff (files, configs etc) is a little daunting to me right now, but the tractor magic and chicken meat wanding other side looks too inviting to ignore.
I always felt that the wizard got left out when it came to his story. the magic mod will at least lessen this. i haven't gotten into modding yet since i want to complete my first play through to completion.
This is lovely but the utter shock i experienced when little amogus left the hut was unparalleled

Magic Missile being called a “weak, heat-seeking missile” is a joke, because in reality it’s pm a low-cost one-shot for most enemies in the game, and at most a 2-shot for the vast majority of enemies you will ever face at level 10 combat (there are 1 or 2 enemies in expansions like Ridgeside that will take more than this, but that doesn’t include the fact that this & many other spells are extremely spammable). If you’re using Magic Mod, just be aware that you should *probably* do your own balancing beforehand & try to see if you can tweak mana costs on your own before the game essentially gives you a free out to any situation.
these are such great choices!
i like how the light modding +medium modding sections is eqaul to heavy modding combined
Getting me closer and closer to actually playing this game.
Ridgeside with Expansion I LIKE OT
Should add that some of those mads require support mods for them to work correctly. Especially the novice users need to know that since some might shy away from adding them out of confusion or fear. Great vid I just added a couple of nice mods I didn't know about. Thanks
he did add them at the bottom left, it says required mods: [list]
All these mods make Stardew Valley looks a lot like Rune Factory.
If you guys never played Rune Factory, give it a go, it's amazing!
thanks for this vid, i've been wanting to start a modded playthrough but really had no idea where to start looking for stuff that i want included!
I like that they never say anything about the crewmate Junimos in any of their videos
for Light Mods i would have added the BetterSort and the WindEffects Mods, on the mid section i would have added an Scythe Mod and the East Scarp Mod, and for the heavy Pack i would have definetly added the Automate Mod. i still like your list, good choices for beginners to get familiar with mods without blowing it out of proportions, though SVE is pretty massive to be honest. :D
For the tractor mod you can change what the tractor can die ex cutdown trees in the mod settings area
Good video
I expected more from the heavy list lul, still learned a lot. Gotta use that visible fish mod
You should do another Best mods video now that 1.6 has dropped, and since some cool stuff has come out since this video. Also, mods are good content!!!
the magic mod seems super cool, also the junimos are looking a little sussy ahaha
thank you so much for this! This is very helpful for me.
The tractor mod actually gets rid of trees with ur axe now hehe with different configurations
Ui info suite is also a great one
i feel like you are trying to sell me drugs in stardew format
half of the mods you showed are combined in the UI Info Suite 2 mod, it willshow people on map, will tell you how long before fruit is ready, if animals need to be petted, the sell price of your items
one mod i honestly can't live without is the accessible shop mod, i dont remember the name of it 100% but it does what it says basically, it lets you buy shit from Marnie without needing her to be there, cause she's never there when you need her
Magic Mod is probably my favourite mod!
There are mods for Stardew Valley??! 😳 Wow... I’m shook. 😆
This guide is too late for me. lol
A friend dragged me to play Stardew Valley mod with him.
He installs:
-Stardew Valley Expanded
-Ridgeside Village
-East Scarp
-Stardew Aquarium
-Walk to Desert
and a lot more I don't remember.
So my first impression is I feel overwhelmed.
The first quest told me to introduce myself to over a hundred people.
I never feel like I have time to get anything done, and the fact time always moves even in situations where it would stop in the single player.
Want to read random events with NPC dialogs? Too bad, it's already 2 AM and you'll pass out the moment that cutscene ends.
We installed Multiplayer time mod but there was a problem connecting that we spent 3 hours before we could start playing. So we uninstalled it.
He didn't stop at 100 mods of his either, occasionally he added a few more.
Eventually, it came to the point where I couldn't even play on his server for 5 minutes before lagging out and disconnected.
So I stopped playing with him.
Nowadays I play Stardew Valley mostly vanilla with only portrait mods. My friend said he can't live without mods.
I will probably play modded again after 1.6 comes out and all major mods are updated.
personally i definitely don't recommend climates of ferngill. the fog can get so dense at parts it's very hard to play the game.
Ppja / artisan valley are some of the best mods for Stardew valley, also lookup anything is an essential mod for a heavily modded run imo
you could easily add diverse stardew valley to the light mod set, especially since im pretty sure its compatible with stardew valley expanded
The way I lit up seeing that cooking mod!! Oh my gosh!! How have I never seen that before?!?
Edit: AND THE WEATHER MOD?? Clearly I've only been into light modding before and it's time for me to step up. :P
Mila already said it, but when I saw the junimo among us I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn't hallucinating oh my hod
definitely not yet interested in expanded or really any visual mods (yet, at least) but having fun with the basically cheating chests anywhere/ convenient chests mods as well as UI suit 2, upgrades for things that aren't upgradable (pan, bucket, sheers) and a few bits and pieces I've picked up from this video and elsewhere... It's actually so great.
Better ranching, spring in the bat/mushroom cave...
Choosing stuff that helps you with annoying challenges... while making sure not to trivialise too much (at least, not quickly) at the same time.
I have my switch for non-mods. But I freely admit to going crazy with them!
The “magic wand” is so magical I’m eating chicken rn🥪
omg the better junimos look like mini amongus crewmates that's so cute~
Yeah, 100% agree that Illit sound just like NewJeans. I can definitely see them bought performing and owning this song. Its hypocrisy of some people to denie the similarities, when a few months ago they were throwing BabyMonster under the bus for the similarities with BlackPink on BatterUp
Does the tractor use energy or supplies, it looks like it took a lot of the later game stuff purposes away, like how the upgraded watering can and hoe can work on a big plot of land at once.
I'm waiting for the mod update that's apparently coming our way to try out any of the more elaborate mods, cause I have tried and failed to install things like stardew expanded, cause there's just so many different files needed, I keep messing it up. for now I'm gonna stick to the quality of life mods, but I can't wait to check out all the bigger ones eventually
"Magic meat wand" when it only says "magic wand". He had no reason to say it but he did. Hmm...
I've got a stardew run i'm doing right now, gonna drop in some of these mods and hope it all comes together in some cohesive way haha!
Hey Sal,
Thank you for all the detailed and lovely tutorials on so many SDV topics! I finally got SDV on PC and am looking forward to try out my first ever modded game.
But one question still remains:
If I start right of with all mods from the light AND the medium package (and add a couple more from your other videos) will my laptop survive that? How many mods can you add into one save file before it crashes?
I was considering getting the the tractor mod even though tractors and medieval aesthetics don't go together at all, just because the tractor seemed useful... then you mentioned the magic mod ❤
"the tractor does not destroy trees unfortunately"
generic mod configuration fixes that. lets you configure all your mods- that are compatible with this one- in-game, aka making it so Tractor CAN destroy trees for example.
I hope they create a mod where you can be the mayor of the town
I wish you would do some more in-depth mod reviews for mods you showed here, I'm super interested in the love for the cooking mod but cannot really play mods since I'm a switch player
I just recently started playing again, I got discouraged missing only 2 items for the museum back in April 2017, and the achievements I was missing were Prairie King, Fector's Challenge, Mystery of the Stardrops, Legend, and A complete collection. Upon return wow a lot has been added, and I managed to finish up both Complete collection and Mystery of the stardrops in a few hours (especially thanks to the addition of secret notes/journal scraps). Being back in the game I've been watching a lot of stardew content while I play.
Until I saw the heavy category also included stardew expanded and then several other decent sized mods, I was surprised seeing it listed at only a medium. Once I get those 2 prairie king related achievements I think I'll move on to modded games, and I'll be using some of your suggestions from this video, as well as trying out stuff from your other videos.
I cannot live without Ridgeside
I know you JUST did a stardew play through over the last year, but could you see yourself recording a heavy modded play through? Or not even a whole pt series but playing periodically on twitch?
I definitely could see myself doing one, maybe not as thorough as the regular playthrough, but something for sure
Another good light mod is ui info sweet
Can you add a mod while playing or can you only a new mod for a new farm?
I tried downloading the Stardew valley expansion mod but some of the required mods don't work, which is probably the reason why the mod itself doesn't do anything. What should I do now? If I open the game Smapi lists all of your mods right? some of the required mods turn yellow and it sais that they'll break after the next Smapi update. help pls TvT
Not the sus Junimos 💀
Just thought to mention the automate mod for those who have a lot of goods to process
Question: Can I use a mod to a previous save I have? Like can I just continue my previous save but with a mod or do I have to start all over again?
You can! Although some more complicated mods, like Stardew Valley Expanded, are intended for new save files, so some things might be a little odd
@@salmence100 I tried using light mods and it worked! Your video was so easy to follow thank you so much!
Bro when the lil amogus guy come out i was shocked
Hi! I'm very new to modding and I've only got a million questons lol. I've downloaded all the framework mods and the mods themselves for SVE, Ridge Side Village and a cheat menu and I want a few more. I'm afraid of adding mods even though it seems like a non-issue tbh, it seems like you can switch them pretty freely. So I guess my question is how safe is it to mess with mods and how will it affect my game long-term? I spent years on consoles and have very little computer knowledge outside of web browsing so all this stuff (files, configs etc) is a little daunting to me right now, but the tractor magic and chicken meat wanding other side looks too inviting to ignore.
As soon as I saw junimos replaced by among us I decided that from now on I’ll choose joja mart.
I always felt that the wizard got left out when it came to his story. the magic mod will at least lessen this. i haven't gotten into modding yet since i want to complete my first play through to completion.
From which mod does the changes of decorations of this house 13:00 come from?
That would be Stardew Valley Expanded, it changes up the decorations of pretty much every place in the game, some slightly, some heavily
