Best mod. The NPCs seem more like people living in Stardew Valley instead of just being "goals" for the player to unlock. It's not reasonable that they wouldn't know how to fight or do things. Does the mod function once you're married too or after a divorce? It'd be so weird if it worked after a divorce, dragging a bitter angry NPC around who won't talk to you but happily slaughter things would be hilarious but so weird.
There should be post divorce dialogue where all your partner does is complain about you and tell you that you suck and how useless you are while you're with them.
I bet he would want to take quite a bit of mods to put in the official game, the only problem with that is that it won't make it an Indie game anymore and that's what he really wants.
@@josector5421 How so? It would still be a small group of people working together to make a game. An indie game is just a title we give to games made on a low budget that don't have many people working on them. So nothing is going to change. If anything all these people would be one off freelancers at worst.
Let me introduce you to Rimworld, another game made by a single guy (and three or four coders and artists) who has a habit of basicaly lifting every good idea from mods into the base game (smoothing walls, animals tab and bridges come to mind) yet is no less indie for that
Do you know of the game Princess Maker? I think it would be pretty cool if that style of game could be incorporated to your children, where chores, school, and work increase stats, and then when they are old enough, they shoes a life for themselves based on the stats they have at that point.
This is a really cool idea for a mod! The walk animations could use some work, as it's clear the npcs walk cycles weren't built to facilitate moving so quickly, but this looks really awesome. It's nice for your s/o to have practical use in farming/adventuring.
this is a great idea that feels like it could be vanilla if the creator wanted to. i think the buffs should scale with affection levels, and would need some consideration of balancing. With mines being an option, the npc's may need to have a health or fatigue stat that either makes them leave once exhausted, or stop helping temporarily.
What if u bring Pam along? “Thanks to Pam’s hulking mass and terrifying face, she pacifies any nearby weak monster!” “Pam likes to drink to dull pain. When traveling with Pam, all damage taken from tougher monsters is nullified!”
I laughed so loud when I saw Maru running after the bus. That made my entire day. This looks like a pretty solid mod. I kinda hope they flesh it out some more.
It reminds me a lot of the Rune Factory games. You can invite almost all npcs to hang out with you they use diffrent weapons and have different base stats, some even use magic and stuff.
Lol I was just thinking that! I got RF4 a while ago and when I play it I almost always have a villager or monster with me (mostly Dylas and my Silver Wolf since they're both really strong), they're just really useful to have with you.
This would be a cool thing to have in game. Like maybe on your way to an event in town they follow you and instead of leaving your kids to fend for themselves at home your spouse carries them or they follow you. That would be a small touch but it would be nice.
If your wondering, the sword Abigal and Emily have is the Neptune's Glaive. Its a level 7 sword that does 18-35 damage -1 speed +2 defense and +4 weight Dont ask why I know this
@@Zaxlz Yeah I set that up. If you really want to know its because I got that sword in a treasure chest when fishing. I used it for awhile before I got anything better. When I saw her sword it it reminded me of my old sword so I looked it up.
Now that I see this mod working it just makes so much sense! I really wish it was an official thing. Although if it were official I think each NPC should only do specific things, like Abigail for combat makes a ton of sense! But Emily is odd lol maybe since she works at the salon her thing could be cooking and artisan goods idk. Not everyone should be willing to follow you down the mines.
Ikr, I hope 1.5 update will include that feature. It would be really cool to hangout eith the npcs, even small interactive events like leah can teach you to make a sculpture or tile and you make one animal crossing style, haley could do photography sessions with you, abigail can fight with you, elliot can fish with you, penny can help you solve mysteries in the valley (giving hints and telling her suspicious observations) and tell you the history of it, idk. I really just want to do soemthing with the npcs. Tho that would be incredibly ambitious. It would be a really nife DLC tho.
"In my world, it's sink or swim, and I don't really care because either way I'm entertained." -DangerouslyFunny "Wow what a fricccin legend." -Some random idiot on the internet
I’m actually super excited about this mod! It seems really well made! i mean try making npc’s follow you around - and not have duplicates around town, this is super impressive and definitely adds to the feeling of having the npc’s as friends! thank you for covering this mod DF ❤️ great video
It would be nice if they change clothes for a swimsuit whenever they walk with you in the pool area (and/or make them go through the opposite sex change room). I know it might me a little bit too complicated for such a small detail, but it would give the player the chance to have "dates" as well. Like you decide whether to take advantage of the skill boost or go somewhere in the town and pretend to have a date.
I still love all the comebacks and remarks you have towards the NPCs. :P Also, laughed at the edit making it look like Abby was staring in shock that you put out Linus' campfire while you walked away.
this mod is amazing! I would also love to see a mod (Or an update, since this game is still being updated and things added) where your kids grow up and help on the farm. that'd be awesome
Finally I saw something accurate the blogs that I've seen in different websites they all talk about the dialogue which I dont really care as long I get benefits from them.
I actually really like this mod. It doesn’t really change anything about the gameplay, just further encourages befriending the villagers. I do kinda wish you could have anyone as a companion though
You can do this in a few of the rune factory games and I absolutely loved it. You can ask people to go with you and have them help with battling OR take them on dates in special areas. Which is so cool because you learn more about the characters AND get help fighting. Stardew Valley I think would benefit from this and also your children and spouse helping you on the farm (or with other chores) in harvest moon animal parade.
The moment when you realize that you don't need to click on the plant you want to harvest. It only depends on character placement. (AKA you can click anywhere on the screen and it will harvest the surrounding tiles)
This only strengthens my theory that Cattails is SDV but for cats. Why? -You complete a stupid place for a stupid reward(CT-Guardian Pelt, SDV-Trophy) -You can marry/have children -Your kittens can follow you around(foraging, fishing, killing for you) -There's really hard mines - Different items in different seasons -You can divorce/remarry -You can change your appearance -You can grow crops(In Cattails you have to have 5 of a plant and a den upgrade) -You can upgrade your house.
I entered this video cautiously, knowing your dripping sarcasm and lack of connection with any of the NPCs compared to much of the fanbase is kinda a key part of your selling point and humor. I left wanting to download the mod and forgo work today entirely.
I fucking LOST IT when you did the "neat trick" with Linus' fire pit! Other than that, I think the mod is neat! Maybe a bit overpowered for how it is right now, but nice none the less! I feel the perks should increase the more hearts you have, with the current settings being the maximum. And maybe the sword damage be set to what you last used as a melee weapon :P
Cool mod!! but pls add some stuff like make the NPC equip anything u give them (replace with their own) and the higher the relationship between u and the NPC, the better buff u get from them.
This is indeed very interesting mod. I don't like mods, but as soon as i saw this i thought "huh, i want to try that out too!" Would be amazing to add this to the actual game
I posted a topic on Reddit a few months ago that spouses should give you various perks, and this mod seems to be a close enough idea to that! I was thinking that hitting eight hearts would get you a small permanent perk, and marriage would give you a stronger one, but only as long as you're married to them.
At least Penny's farming buff can be combined with any other farming buff. Combined with quality fertilizer gives the player a near-100% chance of getting gold quality crops. For example, of 116 spaces in the greenhouse with ancient fruits and quality fertilizer, 108 were gold quality, 7 silver quality and 1 normal quality. Has anyone already done the proper math for this? Maybe
There are unused items in the code for a weapon owned by each of the marriageable NPCs intended as gifts for the player to use. It would be cool if the mod used them instead of the generic swords. (That said, Shane and Emily don't have weapons because the idea was obviously scrapped by launch and they were made options in a patch. There are other unused items one could probably use for them though)
I actually believe that lvl 12 foraging and higher makes you get 4 salmonberries/blackberries in spring and autumn when harvesting.... nvm, great video as always!
This reminds me of Rune Factory 4, you can pick 2 villagers but the elderly grandma and take them whenever you like, and you can gear them up and they level up and learn new skills and stuff, it was very fun on that game.
This mod would be awesome in the base game. Makes the NPC's more useful. It would also be cool if the children could grow up into adults, and you could bring them along too
Best mod. The NPCs seem more like people living in Stardew Valley instead of just being "goals" for the player to unlock. It's not reasonable that they wouldn't know how to fight or do things.

Wish they add the helping thing in the real game thoo. That will help alot

@Kelik The Edgelord Im not sure Rune Factory 1 did that but yeah 2 and 3 were kinda cool for that alone imo
This is one of the best mods I ve ever seen for stardew. Please ConcernedApe make this an official thing for all game versions!! I need this

Leah’s broken in this mod. Every few seconds she’ll give you an iridium quality foragable, it’s great cash or energy.
When I heard "Companion mod", I thought for sure DF would bring the NPCs to the mountaintop and Fus Ro Dah them to their death.

Based off the color and general look of the weapon they seem to be wielding a Neptune's Glaive. A fairly nice sword to have early game.
