Stardew Valley Intro
CA: I've been a fan of Stardew Valley for a few years now.
CA: I started after the 1.5 Ginger Island update had been released, but before the 1.6 Mastery update was created.
CA: I'm now waiting on the 1.7 release, but I've also been modding the game for a while now!
CA: Below, I'm including a list of the mods that I've been using recently along with links to the mods on Nexus Mods and some helpful Wikis, if applicable.
CA: In alphabetacal order, those applicable mods are East Scarp, Ridgeside Village, Sunberry Village, Stardew Valley Expanded, and Visit Mount Vapius.
CA: I broke down each of the mods that I use in this list to allow for picking and choosing mods that seem interesting to others, but there are plenty of currently available Modpacks with a lot of overlap with my list!
