It seems a lot like the “not like the other girls” sort of trope. Notice how she has no friends. And I have a feeling the creator just put her model gig in so the player can say they’re dating a model. But beyond that, they don’t want to actually see the modeling because that would be “basic” and “vain”. She also didn’t have any goals or aspirations… very one-sided character tbh, like her whole purpose is just to be someone’s gf.
@@mickarivera8793 The person could definitely take a page out of Persona 5's Ann Takamaki. A character arc like hers but with Shiko's more distant personality and inferiority complex could be really good (this is assuming anyone actually expands her personality to be this way).

@@sofiac1814 ehh the “not like other girls” thing is literally cus she’s got foreigner genes in Japan. Other than that she likes video games, but besides racism, sexism, and victim blaming i can’t see her as “not like other girls”. She even has a best friend who is a girl.
She's so..... Bland. She looks great, but what are her passions? What makes her tick? Her only personality is to make the player feel like they're the only person in the world who understands her and triggers the same 'I can fix her' emotions, apart from that she is just has plain as her spouse room.
@@heba8179 I don't think Shiko even does enough to be considered a "manic" pixie dream girl. Based on the download count she's definitely someone's dream girl, but she has some amount of interiority (as shallowly written as she is, she does reflect on herself and she does have some kind of life outside of the main character), she's not particularly whimsical or adventurous towards the player character, and she doesn't really teach the player character about living life to the fullest or whatever, which is the entire narrative purpose attached to the trope. I think that the player character is more of a manic pixie dream girl to Shiko, given how they're the one who ends up getting Shiko out of her funk and igniting in her some passion for living in the valley. It all feels very "Hallmark movie about a big city woman settling down in Nebraska or wherever."
Most people install NPCs they won't ever use. I don't think is fair the treatment you are given to the author when the Mod never pretend to be something else, also many other more fleshed out modded NPC has similar problems defining friendship and dating. Of course I speak from the ignorance, I didn't even know she existed, but all this "what a boring bland mod..." is kinda rude.
she's been downloaded by 56,000 unique users. the rest are people downloading her again because updates or new computers or whatever. And it's because she's been out for 4 years and absolutely not because of how developed she is. Although she's kinda sexy, I guess? Always Raining in the Valley has 58,000 unique downloads and has also only been out a year and a half - it's far more popular.
@@lulululu28383 she has one of his events and he has all of his events… she’s not got an arc that’s ‘fleshed’ out like him and has few motivations and anything at all going on for her :/ she’s a watered down Sebastian if anything
Shiko basically only exists to marry. She hits the same way Sophia does to me, where she seems to exist primarily to fulfill a fantasy. Shiko is the goth gf you can fix and Sophia is the nerdy e-girl gf you can fix. Of course, Sophia is better written by virtue of actually having identifiable problems and a decent friendship arc instead of exclusively being waifu bait. But if you really want to marry the best girl, you need to marry Claire. Love watching my girl work towards her dreams.
I never got past like 4 or 6 hearts with Sophia but she just seems so like fictitious and childish that it always took me out of the idea of her even being romanceable
i hated the way sophia's depression was written. it felt childish, and was honestly just uncomfortable to sit through as someone with depression. it felt like a caricature, like whoever wrote her story views people with depression as childish crybabies who just need to watch some anime with friends, pet a dog, fix their parent's bedroom, and make a fairy garden to feel better. shane and pam's depression are far more believable, and i actually really enjoy their stories. and as for other expanded characters, the best girl is definitely claire, and the best bachelor (who i usually go for) is lance
@@shyguy2656 Yeah, I didn't really like the weird hybrid of depression and manic pixie dream girl traits. In a vacuum she makes me cringe so hard I've fractured six vertebrae, but compared to mod characters like Shiko she at least has SOMETHING to her character. Even if that's a bit of "damning by faint praise". The writer was *trying* to do something. God, Shiko is making me defend Sophia. I feel so ashamed.
I think her popularity comes from the fact that she was one of the earliest custom NPC mods not connected to a bigger expansion (thus all the commentary/feedback on this mod is about her specifically) and her sprite art is pretty close to the game’s art style. I remember back in the day finding an NPC with sprite art that could integrate so well into the rest of the game wasn’t as common. She’s a classic in that sort of way 😂 plus the edgy cool girl gf will always have appeal.
I think this is true. And yeah, she's kind of simple, but sometimes that results in wide appeal, sort of like how you're going to find more people who like cheese pizza than more complicated pizzas.
She's too predictable idk. From what I could gather from this video, her heart events don't leave room for you to just be friends or meet her as a person. Some npcs show that they might have a crush on the player, like Harvey does, but you get to see their past, their cute niche interests, and even their hardest times. But most of her heart events are all related to dating the player, her likes are way too superficial and none of her past affects how she acts in game. She just doesn't feel real. She's written just like a princess the hero get as a "reward" in a bad fantasy novel.
@@SeymourDisapproves that’s not what I was referring to, I meant the way she thought she was selfish and didn’t deserve you, don’t get me wrong I don’t like her either but there is more to the story…
she's so bland. she's an insecure model with no interests that does nothing but compliment you and apologize for "rambling"... we all know who she's for lmao
@@gabyyyyyyyyyfunnily enough those kind of guys ARE the ones that mostly download this mod. Sucks she’s so bland and is practically just meant to be a basic goth gf
I imagine Shiko's popularity is a combination of A. her having a nice design, B. she's standalone so it's not a big mental commitment to download her and you can easily combo her in with other mods, and C. feedback effect where her preexisting popularity makes newcomers more likely to see her and assume she's worth downloading.
um... being connected to other mods actually results in MORE downloads. I just pulled the numbers, of the top 10 custom NPCs, 50% are linked to expansions.
@@lemurkat 50% is a pretty meaningless number by itself. Without further context that just means that there are equal odds of people downloading and thus standalone vs expansion is irrelevant. Regardless, Shiki being standalone certainly doesn't hurt her popularity even if it doesn't actively help her.
@@corvidaeae well that is true. It's too hard to pull the numbers though since custom NPCs are spread across Characters and New Characters and the former is filled with sprite edits etc. But there aren't that many expansion-adjucent NPCs comparatively speaking (maybe 10%? as a guestimate). Also, Beatrice is in the top 5 and she is not especially well developed, nor conventionally attractive, not datable - yet she is linked to an expansion.
I don't like how "flirtatious" she is SO quickly. The model compliment thing is fine, but she saying the farmer changed her perspective on things and stuff feels like a lie. Of course NOBODY in the world has ever been capable of making her feel like that, BUT the farmer. The mod is obviously a romance mod but it feels like it's trying to please the player too much XD
Plus one thing, you can’t even tell what her type is! I feel like that’s a huge part of a character, what qualities are they attracted to? It’s easy to tell for the bass game characters; Leah honesty & kindness, Harvey wants someone who supports him, Elliott wants me obviously (kidding kidding he wants someone who can match his hopeless romantic vibe) etc etc
Her uncomfortably relentless compliments kind of give me the impression that she's designed for a player that (just going to leave a note here, I paused for several minutes and couldn't think of a nice way to phrase this) has absolutely no friends or supportive family members in their lives
@@vsptylore3639 it feels like the yandere mod for haley, its just so weird, but then again yandere's are obsessive and possessive, so it make sense for the yandere haley mod
She's stuck on Sebastian because he's goth too plus he loves Zuzu City. He was probably way into her too until he found out she borrowed his bike without asking to take another dude out on a date--maybe she even knew about that lookout spot because Seb took her there first. Then Seb was done with her, and probably warning the farmer about her too. Honestly the whole thing with her "borrowing" his motorcycle then taking the farmer on a date to the place Sebastian must've poured his heart out to her is to me the most interesting thing about her by far. The spouse rooms are meant to reflect their personality: hers is spot on.
I can see this backstory happening very easily! Sometimes I think Abigail's a little overrated, but I can see her warning Sebastian about Shiko repeatedly while he spends month trying to talk to Shiko. Every Friday night Seb, Sam and Abigail kinda just hang out by her wall I guess lol.
Imagine if that was really Shiko's storyline and later you do Sebastian route being a female farmer and he says "I never took girls here", that would be so funny.
She's,,, not even goth,,, having black hair doesn't make you goth. And like, where's the flavor??? What makes her selfish?? What's her real story?? I don't understand
@@silly-skelatoninthe truth of it is that a lot of people just don’t bother to understand certain people or their style a lot of styles are really based off music ect but people don’t bother to learn that not their fault but uno they just assume stuff about goths ect half my friends are punks and people tend to confuse them with goths to it’s all very annoying (I’m not goth nor punk btw do correct me if I’m wrong)
@@thepencie yes I know that, but within her dialogue there is no indication of her having goth or Gothic related interests. There's no music references in any of her dialogue and her spousal room is very normal. So, my point still stands: having black hair doesn't make you goth.
Honestly, to me she just feels like a female Sebastion with less character development. Atleast Seb has some passions and stuff, but she just feels like.. bland. Boring. Only meant to be married. I cant help but wonder, why is she here at SD? Why not someplace else? Why does she feel so out of place, and why does she feel like she isnt worth the player? What does she like, why does she like/dislike that? What are her relationships with the other characters? Give us something other than "Hey I love you so much for no reason!!!" cuz that gets boring quick.
exactly what I thought. Shiko's still hot though. Just not a good character, but to be fair not a lot of the regular SV characters are that great either because they do very little at all once you marry them. They sorta just become blank npcs that sometimes fix your fence or water crops that are already watered by your sprinkler system.
Honestly i find her kinda bland. My (personal) favourite NPC is Sterling from Always raining in the valley just because he does right all the things Shiko gets wrong Sterling is also a flirt but it goes little by little and he has so many hearts event that shows his personality outside of his relationship with the farmer. Also he has an amazing character development. I find shiko kinda meh in that aspect like when i see her i think of that one meme of "Hi im a supermodel i just moved in next door" and im the guy saying "i dont care who the IRS sends im not paying taxes."
She’s literally just Sebastian if he was the most boring possible option to date 💀 I don’t get why a literal Sebastian remake is so popular when Sebastian’s story and whole personality are so much better than anything this girl could offer LMAO
The thing about a female Sebastian, too, is like... Aren't there genderswap mods for that? If you wanted to date Sebastian and didn't like men, you could fix that, and still have the depth of character. Shiko is pretty, but that's it.
"Have you ever learned a new language? I could teach you if you like. Some people call me 'Duo Lingo'." *Rips off rubber face mask to reveal a green Owl*
Honestly, her weird npc schedule and behavior is more interesting than anything she says. I would love to see what the creator's outline for the character was, because it feels like he wrote about 3 bullet points and ran with it.
okay i do have a thought. all the romancable npcs kinda lose their life after you marry them and i know a lot of people do dislike that. like sebastian gives up on his dreams of leaving the valley. i married abigail (the best goth gf) and she became so lifeless afterwards i never married her in my other games. so it must be nice to have a romancable character that youre not actively ruining by marrying. also she hot
With Elliot he actually leaves the farm for a bit after you’re married to promote his book. It’s pretty nice to get letters though out the time he’s gone.
I thought she would turn out to have a husband and kids that she left, or have a character flaw or just give the player a dilemma or something. Interesting story beats. Stardew slice of life vs drama. But she's just... boring and has no personality and falls in love for no reason. And is she even goth? Ain't she just a model who likes black?
I find a lot of the moded characters feel kinda, off. Like they aren’t as fleshed out as the base game characters. Usually their pixel art doesn’t quite match the SDV style either, but Shiko’s looked pretty close. All in all I’m not really a fan either.
Aren't as fleshed out? Lol, I don't know what mods you're playing, but many modded NPCs are far better fleshed out. Have you seen FellowClown's range, or Alecto, or... well, I have a list somewhere... I can link if if anyone wants. Also, a lot of the art is pretty close, although even vanilla isn't consistent.
As an Asian American woman, I'm all for representation in gaming, but not like this. It's obvious to see who the target audience is for this mod. Shiko is the stereotypical badass Japanese model who is unapproachable irl. Not so much a relatable character as much as a male fetish used to fill the lack of Asian representation in SDV. I'm confident that CA is working on wholesome Asian characters for Haunted Chocolatier!
God I hope so. My biggest issue with Stardew Valley is the complete lack of poc. Maru is the only date able poc and she just so happens to be the most boring imo. I don't think CA did it on purpose or anything, but it does kinda bother me.
Japanese Latino here! Completely agree! It's hard to find good asian representation in npcs :/ some use the culture as a type of aesthetic without properly researching it.
@@nnxxfyz For me, the name gives it away. Only in Japan do female names consistently end with -Ko. I can also pretend she wears contacts, but she can be any race you'd like her to be!
@Transit Dog Says the "I can teach you other languages" gave it away for me honestly. Idk if other asian ppl experience this, but I've been constantly asked to teach people Japanese even though it's not my first language :/
Yea ... people just wanted a waifu basically. I can't stand how they made her so classy just to give her an "uwu please validate me you magnificent 4chan user" personality
Im not big on her "move to the big city with her" scene. Literally the premise of stardew is your character got sick of the city and wanted a small town farm life to get away from it.
I can kinda see the appeal, but it's mostly because I like her sprites and portraits. I tried to make a portrait mod for SDV but I ended up bailing less than half way through because I couldn't get everything to look how it did in my head. I have a lot of respect for mod creators, so even if Shiko is a half-baked npc mod, it's still pretty impressive.
I think Aspen [stand alone NPC] and Sterling from Always Raining have to be my favourite NPCs Stardew feels empty without all the expansions and all the extra NPCs ;w;
8:17 Love that me saying that was not a pirate voice has been immortalized in a Seaniedew video 😂 I legit felt bad when he read it out loud because the voice starts out strong then goes Leprechaun lol love you Seanie keep practicing
That moment when "Improved Clint" mod of the most hated (unfairly) person in Stardew impressed me more than Shiko's. She lacks the character and it's hard to understand the hype. The art in the mod is remarkable, though, really gorgeous.
She just feels like Stardew SSSniperwolf tbh. Pretty on the outside, shallow on the inside. She probably bullies Abigail off camera for copying her when Abigail is just minding her own business and was there before Shiko even moved in
Please play the Lucikiel mod, it's a really well polished and super interesting custom NPC mod that also gives more personality and motivations for pre-established NPCs
At least with Leah, her intentions for moving the the valley makes SENSE. She’s an artist who was already kind of outdoorsy, who got out of a toxic relationship, and hit a sort of Artist block in her stifled environment. Shiko never explaining why she moved to the valley is so confusing.
@@h4ppyp3an4buter6 I don't see the hubba about her tbh, I have expanded installed and I dont see her unless its her birthday and I don't really watch her heart events (I don't watch anyones anymore tbh except for the newer ones for me)
@@Ilivepuppys yeah, shes just fine. but what annoys me its the ''perfect girl'' personality ppl says she has like ''OmGG ShE wAcThes aNiME AND dOeS cOspLay?? BEsT gIrL'' besides that shes fine, i would marry her only to get cute pink haired babys(i have a mod that does that) and to get the wine multiplier bonus she gives at one of her heart events LOL
This is how it should’ve ended: Shiko charms you, gets you to marry her, then robs you blind. That’s why she’s so bland, it’s mysterious! She then steals the family farm and leaves you penniless! 💸 Then Shiko and Sebastian run away together to Zuzu City on his bike 🤪 The farmer must go back to working their desk job at Joja, and the screen fades to black 😭 If it ended like that, I’d be team Shiko!
My understanding is that she's one of the oldest standalone NPC mods out there that 1) is still working with the current version of Stardew Valley 2) hasn't disappeared off the internet like a lot of other NPCs that used to be out there, and 3) doesn't require getting one of the many expansions out there to work like others do. Lots of people suggesting Sterling, who I love, but you need East Scarp for him to be in the game. His popularity is tied up with ES's popularity. Shiko, especially for those new to modding, doesn't require anything else and quite possibly just seems less intimidating to a first time modder. Also yes, she's hot, that has a lot to do with it. Lots of people in the discord are predicting that she might stop working in the 1.6 update, though, since she's no longer maintained and doesn't seem to have permissions for others to update her though. (There just seems to be a more robust community now with people helping with character writing for NPCs and the like.)
Woah. Somebody who really doesn't "get" women, in any sense of the word, made this lol. How many hearts did you have with this chick before she was throwing herself at you and lovebombing you? Also love how she is constantly trashing herself in ways that are trite and inaccurate.
@@D0MiN0ChAn My point was that Shiko as a standalone NPC, by logic should have more attention and focus put unto her, than those mods which the author has to spread their focus to 10+ characters. But still, any side characters from those mods beats Shiko to a pulp.
15:23 isn’t this basically one of Sebastian’s cutscenes lol is she just lady Sebastian I mean they both like sushi, smoking, motorcycles, and the city and wear all black LMAOO
If you would cover sterling from always raining than I think you would love it his character events are so well fleshed out :) he’s my favorite add on npc
I love always raining in the valley! One of the best expansion mods imo All the characters having developing gift tastes and unique dialogue for each gift is such a cool touch as well
Newer NPCs have become far more complex (The gift taste dialogue is thanks to Purppling's utility) and story-focused than the early ones. Seanie should focus on that rather than... make fun of one of the classics?
She feels incomplete? Like she should have a depression/low self-esteem thing going on, but it isn't implemented? Very weird vibes, I assume it's not just 'cause of the compressed timescale or anything? Though I guess maybe you would be expected to see her at like, events. Still, that doesn't seem like enough to fill the gaps, here.
I mean, she very obviously have self-esteem issues, even if it's really badly written "I'm so egoist !" For no reason and how incredible the white knight that is the player save her from her miserable life.
Literally never heard of this Wouldn't install it either Installing a single NPC mod just for the sake of romancing means any save that you don't romance them the mod won't do much
So I'm dumb and I don't know how to mod, once you use a mod do you have to use it on all of your saves or is it still possible to play the game with no mods or different mods?
Y'know that Kim Possible episode where Shego was brainwashed into being not-evil by whoever that blue doofenshmirz lookin' guy was? I'm convinced that Shiko is just nice Shego. She even matches the aesthetic of a cool pretty person who crashes on couches and doesn't really worry about life long plans or anything. She even has the mole. So . . . appearance, personality, and habits of nice Shego from Kim Possible. Shiko is Shego.
She kinda reminds me of one of my characters I plan to turn into a mod with her constant flirting. My character is a bit of a flirt and has commitment issues, but the more you interact with him the more genuine he becomes and opens up about him self.
I kind of like the slick celeb vibe, but yeah I'm not into goth girls. Though I wasn't too off put by the "I'm selfish" and "I've ran away" I took it to me, that well she liked the molding career she realized that she was moso doing it for everybody else, and didn't like the lifestyle that it put, and so she ran away, but was also dealing with low self esteem hunch she thought it was selfish, if I try to think about it, it might be because she did it for her, and felt conflicted, the lifestyle she felt ashamed off and didn't want the farmer to get close to her. But yes compared to the canon marriage characters, she's watered down.
I was in the live chat, and i was so hoping the video would include when he read my comment, so i could unreasonably fangirl all over again! Love you, Seanie!
me thinks the only reason she's that popular is cause she was one of the first semi well fleshed out new NPC's you could add to your game, people were foaming at the mouth for new waifus
My theory; people misread her name as 'Shego' and thought they were gonna get some Green eggs and Ham if you catch my cold. In all seriousness I think part of her popularity spawns from the relative simplicity of her; she doesn't need fifty other mods to work, she doesn't have a billion outfits that you only see two of, and she was released pretty much in full compared to a number of custom NPCs that have been stuck as w.i.ps for years or just straight up abandoned. Granted she is also kind of abandonware but she's so simple she still mostly works even in the most recent versions of the game, she's kinda like Elliot but instead of a himbo with nothing going on she's a goth gf with like half a thing going on which is why more people remember her over Elliot
@@lianai.9795 right I got 'himbo' mixed with whatever you call the Fabio lookalikes who are shirtless on the cover of romance novels. also I was kinda joking about more people knowing a mod then Elliot cause he and Penny are like the least popular marriage candidates apparently

I think her popularity comes from the fact that she was one of the earliest custom NPC mods not connected to a bigger expansion (thus all the commentary/feedback on this mod is about her specifically) and her sprite art is pretty close to the game’s art style. I remember back in the day finding an NPC with sprite art that could integrate so well into the rest of the game wasn’t as common. She’s a classic in that sort of way 😂 plus the edgy cool girl gf will always have appeal.
I think this is true. And yeah, she's kind of simple, but sometimes that results in wide appeal, sort of like how you're going to find more people who like cheese pizza than more complicated pizzas.
Yep, it's just too bad that she's such a blank slate of a character.
the girls who girl, girl. the girls who girln’t, gorn’t.
exactly
What
literally preach
AMEN!!!!
true
She's too predictable idk. From what I could gather from this video, her heart events don't leave room for you to just be friends or meet her as a person.
Some npcs show that they might have a crush on the player, like Harvey does, but you get to see their past, their cute niche interests, and even their hardest times.
But most of her heart events are all related to dating the player, her likes are way too superficial and none of her past affects how she acts in game.
She just doesn't feel real. She's written just like a princess the hero get as a "reward" in a bad fantasy novel.
Yea people that live in the city and especially a throat cutting industry lost alot of their humanity with it they don't like to show their weak side

clint would be the type of guy to enjoy this mod
@@gabyyyyyyyyyfunnily enough those kind of guys ARE the ones that mostly download this mod. Sucks she’s so bland and is practically just meant to be a basic goth gf
I imagine Shiko's popularity is a combination of A. her having a nice design, B. she's standalone so it's not a big mental commitment to download her and you can easily combo her in with other mods, and C. feedback effect where her preexisting popularity makes newcomers more likely to see her and assume she's worth downloading.
Yeah, I gotta figure this is the reason
um... being connected to other mods actually results in MORE downloads. I just pulled the numbers, of the top 10 custom NPCs, 50% are linked to expansions.
@@lemurkat 50% is a pretty meaningless number by itself. Without further context that just means that there are equal odds of people downloading and thus standalone vs expansion is irrelevant. Regardless, Shiki being standalone certainly doesn't hurt her popularity even if it doesn't actively help her.
@@corvidaeae well that is true. It's too hard to pull the numbers though since custom NPCs are spread across Characters and New Characters and the former is filled with sprite edits etc. But there aren't that many expansion-adjucent NPCs comparatively speaking (maybe 10%? as a guestimate). Also, Beatrice is in the top 5 and she is not especially well developed, nor conventionally attractive, not datable - yet she is linked to an expansion.

I don't like how "flirtatious" she is SO quickly. The model compliment thing is fine, but she saying the farmer changed her perspective on things and stuff feels like a lie. Of course NOBODY in the world has ever been capable of making her feel like that, BUT the farmer. The mod is obviously a romance mod but it feels like it's trying to please the player too much XD
Plus one thing, you can’t even tell what her type is! I feel like that’s a huge part of a character, what qualities are they attracted to? It’s easy to tell for the bass game characters; Leah honesty & kindness, Harvey wants someone who supports him, Elliott wants me obviously (kidding kidding he wants someone who can match his hopeless romantic vibe) etc etc
Her uncomfortably relentless compliments kind of give me the impression that she's designed for a player that (just going to leave a note here, I paused for several minutes and couldn't think of a nice way to phrase this) has absolutely no friends or supportive family members in their lives

@@ShokyoLeaf THERE IS A WHAT????
She's stuck on Sebastian because he's goth too plus he loves Zuzu City. He was probably way into her too until he found out she borrowed his bike without asking to take another dude out on a date--maybe she even knew about that lookout spot because Seb took her there first. Then Seb was done with her, and probably warning the farmer about her too. Honestly the whole thing with her "borrowing" his motorcycle then taking the farmer on a date to the place Sebastian must've poured his heart out to her is to me the most interesting thing about her by far.
The spouse rooms are meant to reflect their personality: hers is spot on.
I can see this backstory happening very easily! Sometimes I think Abigail's a little overrated, but I can see her warning Sebastian about Shiko repeatedly while he spends month trying to talk to Shiko. Every Friday night Seb, Sam and Abigail kinda just hang out by her wall I guess lol.
Imagine if that was really Shiko's storyline and later you do Sebastian route being a female farmer and he says "I never took girls here", that would be so funny.
Seb isn’t goth just because he wears black doesn’t mean he’s goth 💀💀💀
"feels like 2016 tumblr fanfiction" - that actually explains so much
She's,,, not even goth,,, having black hair doesn't make you goth.
And like, where's the flavor??? What makes her selfish?? What's her real story?? I don't understand
Literally!! If she was a ‘goth gf’ wouldn’t she be more interested in music and such since goth is a music based subculture?
@@silly-skelatoninthe truth of it is that a lot of people just don’t bother to understand certain people or their style a lot of styles are really based off music ect but people don’t bother to learn that not their fault but uno they just assume stuff about goths ect half my friends are punks and people tend to confuse them with goths to it’s all very annoying (I’m not goth nor punk btw do correct me if I’m wrong)
The "is this a pigeon" meme but it's "is this a goth?" and the butterfly is labeled as "pale person wearing all black"
goth is based on what music you listen too,, we dont know if shes goth she very well could be, you dont need to dress goth to be goth
@@thepencie yes I know that, but within her dialogue there is no indication of her having goth or Gothic related interests. There's no music references in any of her dialogue and her spousal room is very normal. So, my point still stands: having black hair doesn't make you goth.
Honestly, to me she just feels like a female Sebastion with less character development. Atleast Seb has some passions and stuff, but she just feels like.. bland. Boring. Only meant to be married.
I cant help but wonder, why is she here at SD? Why not someplace else? Why does she feel so out of place, and why does she feel like she isnt worth the player? What does she like, why does she like/dislike that? What are her relationships with the other characters?
Give us something other than "Hey I love you so much for no reason!!!" cuz that gets boring quick.
exactly what I thought. Shiko's still hot though. Just not a good character, but to be fair not a lot of the regular SV characters are that great either because they do very little at all once you marry them. They sorta just become blank npcs that sometimes fix your fence or water crops that are already watered by your sprinkler system.
Honestly i find her kinda bland. My (personal) favourite NPC is Sterling from Always raining in the valley just because he does right all the things Shiko gets wrong
Sterling is also a flirt but it goes little by little and he has so many hearts event that shows his personality outside of his relationship with the farmer. Also he has an amazing character development.
I find shiko kinda meh in that aspect like when i see her i think of that one meme of "Hi im a supermodel i just moved in next door" and im the guy saying "i dont care who the IRS sends im not paying taxes."
He also becomes friends with a ghost girl if she is installed which makes him even better than nromal
well, Sterling IS the actual most popular custom NPC. Lol.

The thing about a female Sebastian, too, is like... Aren't there genderswap mods for that? If you wanted to date Sebastian and didn't like men, you could fix that, and still have the depth of character. Shiko is pretty, but that's it.
@@justasleebylilguylittlesle1496I had no idea that there were gender swap mods, thanks for the info!!

Sebastian is at least mildly interesting
"she looks like my mom" 😭
"Have you ever learned a new language? I could teach you if you like. Some people call me 'Duo Lingo'."
*Rips off rubber face mask to reveal a green Owl*
Honestly, her weird npc schedule and behavior is more interesting than anything she says. I would love to see what the creator's outline for the character was, because it feels like he wrote about 3 bullet points and ran with it.
okay i do have a thought. all the romancable npcs kinda lose their life after you marry them and i know a lot of people do dislike that. like sebastian gives up on his dreams of leaving the valley. i married abigail (the best goth gf) and she became so lifeless afterwards i never married her in my other games. so it must be nice to have a romancable character that youre not actively ruining by marrying.
also she hot
Abigail isn't goth
@@Geku-gs8fg dont you dare talk about my goth gf like that

@@_____________a_a aw thats cute, maybe i could marry him on my current run ☺️
I thought she would turn out to have a husband and kids that she left, or have a character flaw or just give the player a dilemma or something. Interesting story beats. Stardew slice of life vs drama. But she's just... boring and has no personality and falls in love for no reason. And is she even goth? Ain't she just a model who likes black?
Shiko is the Harley for bland people lol
Although instead of being rude to you early in the game she's way too into you way too soon
Good
Better to be bland than have mental instability
I find a lot of the moded characters feel kinda, off. Like they aren’t as fleshed out as the base game characters. Usually their pixel art doesn’t quite match the SDV style either, but Shiko’s looked pretty close. All in all I’m not really a fan either.
It's because especially if it is a singular character others won't mention them or be close to em or whatever. They don't acknowledge their existence.
In my opinion, Stardew Valley Expanded was successful in having art similar to the vanilla style
@@dutchik5107 So they're like your farmer's imaginary friend then?
@@Takayama-sama Nah, the modder just has to do more work which some choose not to do which shiko's modder chose not too. No one even talks about her.
Aren't as fleshed out? Lol, I don't know what mods you're playing, but many modded NPCs are far better fleshed out. Have you seen FellowClown's range, or Alecto, or... well, I have a list somewhere... I can link if if anyone wants. Also, a lot of the art is pretty close, although even vanilla isn't consistent.
I thought you were going to name the cat,

As an Asian American woman, I'm all for representation in gaming, but not like this. It's obvious to see who the target audience is for this mod. Shiko is the stereotypical badass Japanese model who is unapproachable irl. Not so much a relatable character as much as a male fetish used to fill the lack of Asian representation in SDV. I'm confident that CA is working on wholesome Asian characters for Haunted Chocolatier!
God I hope so. My biggest issue with Stardew Valley is the complete lack of poc. Maru is the only date able poc and she just so happens to be the most boring imo. I don't think CA did it on purpose or anything, but it does kinda bother me.
Japanese Latino here! Completely agree! It's hard to find good asian representation in npcs :/ some use the culture as a type of aesthetic without properly researching it.
She has blue-grey eyes, I don't get how she is meant to represent an asian woman
@@nnxxfyz For me, the name gives it away. Only in Japan do female names consistently end with -Ko. I can also pretend she wears contacts, but she can be any race you'd like her to be!
@Transit Dog Says the "I can teach you other languages" gave it away for me honestly. Idk if other asian ppl experience this, but I've been constantly asked to teach people Japanese even though it's not my first language :/
Yea ... people just wanted a waifu basically. I can't stand how they made her so classy just to give her an "uwu please validate me you magnificent 4chan user" personality
she's the girl who's within 5 IQ points(preferably lower) of the guy who would show her his Rick and Morty tattoo
Im not big on her "move to the big city with her" scene. Literally the premise of stardew is your character got sick of the city and wanted a small town farm life to get away from it.
I can kinda see the appeal, but it's mostly because I like her sprites and portraits. I tried to make a portrait mod for SDV but I ended up bailing less than half way through because I couldn't get everything to look how it did in my head. I have a lot of respect for mod creators, so even if Shiko is a half-baked npc mod, it's still pretty impressive.
I think Aspen [stand alone NPC] and Sterling from Always Raining have to be my favourite NPCs
Stardew feels empty without all the expansions and all the extra NPCs ;w;
Wait, Aspen is from It's Always Raining? I just focused so much in Sterling that i litterally have no ideia who Aspen is, lol
Omg yes i love Sterling i was just thinking this!! Definetly my favourite NPC from a mod. I wished the mod was more popular, it really deserves it :(

That moment when "Improved Clint" mod of the most hated (unfairly) person in Stardew impressed me more than Shiko's. She lacks the character and it's hard to understand the hype.
The art in the mod is remarkable, though, really gorgeous.

She just feels like Stardew SSSniperwolf tbh. Pretty on the outside, shallow on the inside. She probably bullies Abigail off camera for copying her when Abigail is just minding her own business and was there before Shiko even moved in
Shiko even looks like her
Hi, Pinkie!!!!!!! I’m a H U G E fan… 🥺
Please play the Lucikiel mod, it's a really well polished and super interesting custom NPC mod that also gives more personality and motivations for pre-established NPCs

“Man gives goth GF several rubies in order to have a conversation with her.”
The reason she's so popular is because when she first came out, she was one of very few solo characters that tried to be in Stardew's style
I love the idea that shiko is a freeloader with an Instagram and not an actual model.
At least with Leah, her intentions for moving the the valley makes SENSE. She’s an artist who was already kind of outdoorsy, who got out of a toxic relationship, and hit a sort of Artist block in her stifled environment. Shiko never explaining why she moved to the valley is so confusing.

This is how it should’ve ended: Shiko charms you, gets you to marry her, then robs you blind. That’s why she’s so bland, it’s mysterious! She then steals the family farm and leaves you penniless! 💸 Then Shiko and Sebastian run away together to Zuzu City on his bike 🤪 The farmer must go back to working their desk job at Joja, and the screen fades to black 😭 If it ended like that, I’d be team Shiko!
My understanding is that she's one of the oldest standalone NPC mods out there that 1) is still working with the current version of Stardew Valley 2) hasn't disappeared off the internet like a lot of other NPCs that used to be out there, and 3) doesn't require getting one of the many expansions out there to work like others do. Lots of people suggesting Sterling, who I love, but you need East Scarp for him to be in the game. His popularity is tied up with ES's popularity. Shiko, especially for those new to modding, doesn't require anything else and quite possibly just seems less intimidating to a first time modder. Also yes, she's hot, that has a lot to do with it. Lots of people in the discord are predicting that she might stop working in the 1.6 update, though, since she's no longer maintained and doesn't seem to have permissions for others to update her though. (There just seems to be a more robust community now with people helping with character writing for NPCs and the like.)
Bruh seanies city voice is like those people that makes stories for the newspapers
It makes sense that the community is so down bad for her. She herself is down bad for the farmer. Lol
Woah. Somebody who really doesn't "get" women, in any sense of the word, made this lol. How many hearts did you have with this chick before she was throwing herself at you and lovebombing you? Also love how she is constantly trashing herself in ways that are trite and inaccurate.
She's cute, but her character needs improvement.
Literally any NPC from SVE, Ridgeside Village, or East Scarpe is more interesting than her.
Yeah, but these are very intricate mods, whereas Shiko was basically just the first standalone romanceable NPC with a SV aesthetic.
@@D0MiN0ChAn My point was that Shiko as a standalone NPC, by logic should have more attention and focus put unto her, than those mods which the author has to spread their focus to 10+ characters. But still, any side characters from those mods beats Shiko to a pulp.

All the characters having developing gift tastes and unique dialogue for each gift is such a cool touch as well
Newer NPCs have become far more complex (The gift taste dialogue is thanks to Purppling's utility) and story-focused than the early ones. Seanie should focus on that rather than... make fun of one of the classics?
Oh, I remember this stream. I like how many different voices you tried.
Your shiko voice when you switch it sounds like Jake’s mom from adventure. Time, either that or a really mild Alistair from hotel hazbin
I’m very aware that the punctuation is terrible text to speech is not my friend
She feels incomplete?
Like she should have a depression/low self-esteem thing going on, but it isn't implemented?
Very weird vibes, I assume it's not just 'cause of the compressed timescale or anything?
Though I guess maybe you would be expected to see her at like, events. Still, that doesn't seem like enough to fill the gaps, here.
I mean, she very obviously have self-esteem issues, even if it's really badly written "I'm so egoist !" For no reason and how incredible the white knight that is the player save her from her miserable life.

But yes compared to the canon marriage characters, she's watered down.

My theory;
people misread her name as 'Shego' and thought they were gonna get some Green eggs and Ham if you catch my cold.
In all seriousness I think part of her popularity spawns from the relative simplicity of her; she doesn't need fifty other mods to work, she doesn't have a billion outfits that you only see two of, and she was released pretty much in full compared to a number of custom NPCs that have been stuck as w.i.ps for years or just straight up abandoned.
Granted she is also kind of abandonware but she's so simple she still mostly works even in the most recent versions of the game, she's kinda like Elliot but instead of a himbo with nothing going on she's a goth gf with like half a thing going on which is why more people remember her over Elliot
