Troubleshooting

Users updating to or past revision 9 from previous versions may need to do a FULL reinstall of this collection due to extreme file structure changes in several mods. I apologize for any frustration this may cause, but it is sadly out of my hands. To avoid a complete reinstall, you may instead review your mods list AND folder to remove duplicates manually, but a full removal and reinstall is highly recommended.

Crash when starting a new game? Watch the intro! There is a known bug that causes a crash if you skip the intro when loading mods into a new game.

Due to the number of mods, initial menus and game loading may be slow, but gameplay should be smooth. If the game hangs (not responding) please be patient and do not press any buttons or click out of the window, it will most likely resolve itself. This behavior has been observed during the intro, opening the load screen, during loading, very briefly between days.

Expansions

• Stardew Valley Expanded is a fanmade expansion for ConcernedApe's Stardew Valley. This mod adds 26 new NPCs, 33 locations, 230 character events, 18 fish, reimagined vanilla areas, two farm maps, a reimagined world map reflecting all changes, new music, questlines, festivals, and many miscellaneous additions!
• East Scarp is a picturesque neighborhood by the sea, and a direct extension of Pelican Town located at the west of it. This mod comes with many new locations, NPCs, items and additions, however, it is also a home for Custom NPCs to inhabit without creating extra map patches.
• Lunna is a girl with a secret past and claims to not come originally from our land but instead from a place called Umuwi. She is also under the care and supervision of M. Rasmodius the Wizard!
• Ridgeside Village is a village rests on the ridge overlooking Stardew Valley, accessed by a cable car near the bus stop. This mod is not canon but tries to retain the feel of the vanilla game while it adds adds over 50 new NPCs, a new location, new items, new shops, new festivals, custom music, custom quests, and more!

Optional NPCs

• Sterling, Mia and Henry from Always Raining in the Valley are a delightful trio who will steal your heart!
• Beatrice is the Lighthouse Keeper, a lovely older woman with a sad story.
• Leilani is from Ember Island in the Fern Islands archipelago (like her husband!) and works away from the valley for most of the year, but every summer she comes back to spend time with her family, Pika and Keahi.
• June is a traveling pianist who starts working at the Ridgeside Village Log Cabin Hotel after the farmer moves to the valley. He's very polite, but he also seems very private... Combined with the fact that he's only there for half the year, will you be able to put in the time to see who he really is?

Please review optional mods and their requirements when downloading! All requirements ARE included in this collection.

Aesthetic Valley Compatibility

Please note that while the contents of this expansion should be largely compatible with any of my other collections, some Aesthetic Valley will require some tweaks for a more consistent play experience:

• Only enable Grandpa's Farm or Immersive Farm 2 (only one of these mods can be active.)
• Disable Ana's Toned Down Sprites
• Disable Lumisteria Short Flowery Grass or Wildflower Grass Field
• Select between Elle's Barn/Coop animals or Farm Animal Facelift

Please note that not all of the Aesthetic Valley tweaks will impact the visuals in Ridgeside Valley and East Scarp.
