## Possible Conflict

If you receive an error about a possible conflict, just have Generic Mod Configuration load before the Vintage UI version.

***

## Configuration

Access the configuration menu from the button on the title menu, to make these recommended configuration adjustments for best results.

- **Boogies Tidy Crafting** Used to sort the crafting menu by size. Turn off Rare Seed/Burglar Ring and keep all other settings to OFF.
- **Cottagecore Fences** - Set "Recolor Overwrite" to DNEarthyRecolor
- **Configurable Cute Hit Marker** color: pink, shape: heartthick, no checks (though you can really play with this!)
- **Medieval\_buildings** RecolourOverwrite DNEarthyRecolor (you will need to scroll down), plus you may want to swap all "more" to "less" to reduce the flowers on buildings. Also recommended ShipBin option 2, steel and moss.
- **Medieval\_Craftables** RecolorOverwrite: DNEarthyRecolor
- **MSVE** DNEarthyRecolor
- **Obelisks** DNEarthyRecolor
- **Simple Foliage** Manual Recolor: DNEarthyRecolor
- **Way Back PT** RecolorOverwrite: DNEarthyRecolor, BusChanged OFF

Select your choice of skins in Elle's New Horses, Elle's Town Animals, Farm Animal Facelift, Pet Facelift, Rustic Country Town Interior, and Warm Cozy Fireplaces!

Navigate to your installed mods and make this adjustment to enable replacing the Mariner with a Mermaid!  Within the \[CP] Seasonal Cute Characters > assets > Characters, change the name or just delete Mariner.png and then the mermaids should show up!

### Compatibility

Please note that while the contents of this expansion should be largely compatible with any of my other collections, some aesthetic effects may not effect that content.&#x20;

If installing with [Stardew Valley Very Expanded](https://next.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/collections/tckf0m) it is recommended you also install [Earthy Ridgeside Village](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/17980). If you don't want to sort through enabling/disabling, simply do not install the optional mods for Aesthetic Valley.

If instead you want to tweak your experience, consider the following changes for a more consistent play experience and to avoid conflicts:

- Select between **Elle's Barn/Coop Animal Replacements** or **Farm Animal Facelift**&#x20;
- Select between **Lumisteria Short Flowery Grass** or **Wildflower Grass Field**&#x20;
- Select between **East Scarp** or **Stardew Valley Expanded - Grampleton Fields**
- Select between **Immersive Farm 2 Remastered** or **Grandpa's Farm**

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q:** Can I use this expansion if its my first time playing Stardew Valley?

> A: Yes, you can use the expansion, even if it's your first time playing Stardew Valley. However, be aware that the expansion adds a lot of content and features to the game, so it may be overwhelming for first-time players. There are over 70 introductions to make in your original quest by default.

**Q:** Do all players need the collection for co-op?

> **A:** Yes, all players in the co-op game need to have the collection installed in order for it to work correctly. To ensure that everyone has the latest version of the collection and that all mods are installed properly, you can use Vortex and also double-check the number of mods running in SMAPI is the same for all players.

**Q:** Something isn't working right! What do?

> **A:** If you're encountering issues with the collection, try filtering "Enabled" mods inside Vortex and select them all. Then click on "Reinstall" in the bottom menu. This should resolve most issues. Note that right-clicking in Vortex, even when all mods are selected, will only affect one mod at a time.

**Q:** How can I get direct help?

> **A:** Check out the [Nexus forums for this collection](https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/10889083-stardew-valley-very-expanded/page-1) and leave a message there, or hop into Stardew Valley channel of the [SuperFriends Discord](https://discord.gg/de2NrHXuty) for help from the community!

**Q:** How do I play through Steam?

> **A:** If this is your first time using SMAPI, you may need to configure it in your Steam client if you want to track Steam Achievements. In the steam client, right click on Stardew Valley and chose *Properties...*. At the bottom of the General tab is Launch Options, click into the textbox in that section. You will need to paste the path to SMAPI, in quotes, followed by `%command%`\
> This will be the path for most Steam users, but feel free to modify this if necessary to match your installation:\
> `"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%`
