Wedding Outfits

Show details

The wedding outfits add-on pack adds a number of alternate wedding outfits for your spouse-to-be. In the config.json, select the character variants that match your DSV config.json options, and then select which wedding style you prefer. If you don’t want the wedding outfits add-on to affect a character, set that character to “off”.

Option 0 is the default wedding style included in Diverse Stardew Valley, created by DesertDove. If you like this style, you don’t need to use the Wedding Add-Ons pack for that character and should set them to “off”.

Option 1 is the vanilla wedding style created by Concerned Ape, seen in the vanilla game. Butch Leah’s vanilla option was edited by Airyn.

Option 2 is the wedding outfits from Slightly Cuter Character Sprites by Poltergeister, adapted to DSV’s vanilla-style character sprites.

Option 3 is the wedding outfits from Visual Crossing Sprite Overhaul by Ksync, adapted to DSV’s vanilla-style character sprites.

Options 4 and 5 are assorted single outfits for certain characters - if you select 4 or 5 for a character that does not have an option 4 or 5, the mod will show the default wedding outfit from DSV.

  • Option 4 for Emily is from Emily Edit by daftpatience.
  • Option 4 for Haley is by notsnufffie.
  • Option 4 for Vanilla and Native Leah is by Tanpoponoko.
  • Option 4 for Butch Leah is from Lumberjack Leah by Rubyquester.
  • Option 5 for Butch Leah is by Jo. [Note: Butch Leah does not have an Option 2 or 3 choice due to the style being unfitting for Butch Leah.]

Option 6 is the default option for any character configured to be platonic in DSV’s compatibility with Platonic Partners and Friendships by Amaranthacyan, made by Airyn for that mod’s commitment ceremony. It is included here as an option for people who would like a more casual or colourful wedding outfit.

Add-On Packs

Welcome to Diverse Stardew Valley! This readme is a visual guide to all of the add-on character packs available. Some of these packs are alternate character variants from previous versions of Diverse Stardew Valley, while others are mods by other creators whose designs have been made compatible with DSV's seasonal outfits. Add-on character packs are standalone and do not require Diverse Stardew Valley; however, if you are also using DSV, they will be able to access DSV's Random Flower Queen feature and work correctly without needing configuration.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Download an add-on character pack you like the look of.
  2. Unzip the file. Inside, there will be a folder with [CP] at the beginning and the name of the character add-on; take this folder and drop it into your Mods folder. Please see the SMAPI beginner guide if you are unsure what a Mods folder is or where it is located.
  3. Edit the DSV config.json, either manually or through Generic Mod Config Menu, so that the appropriate character variant is set to "off". For example, if you wish to use Jo's Butch Native Leah add-on, make sure that Leah is set to "off" in DSV's config.json.
  4. Edit the add-on pack's config.json to configure any options you may like. For the majority of add-on packs, these options will be the same as the main pack: please see Configuring the Mod for more information. [Note: some add-on packs do not have configuration options.]
  5. Play and enjoy! If you need any help, please feel free to ask in the comments of DSV's ModDrop page or on our Discord server.

[Note: Add-on character packs are up-to-date with DSV 2.6.0 but main mod variant updates will take priority over add-on character packs and so add-on packs may not stay up-to-date. They will be updated as time permits or upon request.]

Compatibility

This section describes Diverse Stardew Valley's compatibility with other mods. Some mods conflict with DSV, and these conflicts will not be fixed. However, many other conflicting mods have compatibility patches that allow them to work well with DSV. These compatibility patches are only for the main mod. Some of these patches are built into the main mod, but others will require you to download additional files from ModDrop.

If you discover a mod which conflicts with Diverse Stardew Valley, feel free to let us know, and we might be able to put together a patch for it!

Show compatibility details

Known Conflicts

Some mods are known to conflict with some of Diverse Stardew Valley's features. These conflicts have not, will not, or cannot be fixed, so please follow the instructions below to avoid errors.


Stardew Valley Expanded

Authors: FlashShifter & Poltergeister

Show details

Stardew Valley Expanded makes changes to five characters: Sandy, Marlon, Morris, Gunther, and the Wizard. These changes conflict with or disrupt Diverse Stardew Valley's changes to these characters. SVE has a configuration option to disable SVE's portraits for Sandy if you would rather use DSV's modded or vanilla Sandy, but Marlon, Morris, and Gunther must be set to "off" in DSV’s configuration options.

SVE also makes changes to Linus’s schedule. These changes interfere with the schedule data for Marigold, Linus’s service dog who is added to his modded variant. To avoid issues, set Linus to "off" or "vanilla" in DSV.

The rest of DSV's features should work fine with SVE.

Due to a conflict of values, we will not make a compatibility patch for SVE. Please do not ask.

Seasonal Villager Outfits

Authors: Tanpoponoko, ParadigmNomad, and SVO art contributors

Show details

Seasonal Villager Outfits functions similarly to Diverse Stardew Valley: it also offers seasonal and location-dependent outfit changes for villagers, but it only has characters' vanilla versions and their cosmetic/aesthetic alternates (e.g., brunette Penny or front-facing Elliott). Because of the overlap between the two mods' functions, they should not be used together. By default, DSV will load the vanilla versions of all characters; this is the equivalent of using SVO, so you can use DSV as a replacement for SVO.

Back to top


Author: Poltergeister

Show details

Much like Seasonal Villager Outfits, Seasonal Outfits - Slightly Cuter Aesthetic also offers a lightweight selection of seasonal and location-dependent outfit changes for its touched-up versions of the vanilla characters. Because of the overlap between the two mods' functions, they should not be used together. Slightly Cuter Aesthetic's non-seasonal precursor mods, Slightly Edited Portraits and Slightly Cuter Character Sprites, are also incompatible with DSV as they edit all characters.

Back to top


Author: Candidus42

Show details

Random Flower Queen allows villagers aside from Haley to be crowned Flower Queen. Candidus42 has generously allowed us to replicate the features of RFQ in Diverse Stardew Valley using our own Flower Dance assets. Because of the overlap between Candidus42's RFQ and DSV's built-in RFQ feature, they should not be used together. However, we do encourage you to download, endorse, and comment on the original mod to show support.

If you would prefer to use Candidus42's RFQ, be sure to set the RandomFlowerQueen option to false in DSV's config.json.

Author: Leadenbrain

Show details

Seasonal Treehouse for Linus replaces Linus's tent with a treehouse and updates his dialogue to be appropriate. Linus's house changes with the season. This mod adds new locations to the game that interfere with schedule data for Marigold, Linus's service dog who is added to his modded variant. To avoid issues, set Linus to off or vanilla in DSV.

We currently have no plans to create new schedules for Marigold to accommodate Seasonal Treehouse for Linus, but we are open to submissions. If you'd like to create Marigold's schedules to match Seasonal Treehouse for Linus, feel free to submit them to DSV's Discord server, and we'll incorporate them into DSV.

Shane’s New Job gives Shane a new job working at the Stardrop Saloon after JojaMart has been shut down, with custom sprites while at work. Compatibility with Shane's New Job is built into Diverse Stardew Valley and doesn’t require a separate patch; if Shane’s New Job is installed, DSV will automatically detect it and patch the new custom sprites to reflect Shane’s vanilla or modded variant and his seasonal outfits.

No More War - Kent as Journalist changes dialogue so that the Ferngill Republic is not involved in the Gotoro Empire’s war and Kent is a war journalist covering the conflict instead of a soldier participating in it. Compatibility with No More War is built into Diverse Stardew Valley and doesn’t require a separate patch; if No More War is installed, DSV will automatically detect it and disable Kent’s military uniform Flower Dance outfit so that he will only wear his navy suit.

Show details

Marnie Deserves Better expands on Marnie and Lewis’s relationship by giving the player the option to encourage the pair to take things public and adds several events regarding the result of this decision, with added custom sprites. Compatibility with Marnie Deserves Better is built into Diverse Stardew Valley and doesn’t require a separate patch; if Marnie Deserves Better is installed, DSV will automatically detect it and patch the new custom sprites to reflect Marnie and Lewis’s vanilla or modded variants and their seasonal outfits.

Authors: Omegasis (Fall 28 Snow Day)

Show details

Fall 28 Snow Day makes the weather snowy on the last day of fall to explain the sudden blanket of snow on Winter 1. Diverse Stardew Valley will automatically enable rain outfits if Fall 28 Snow Day is enabled and it is snowing in fall.

Authors: Rafseazz and the RSV Team

Show details

Ridgeside Village adds a new location (the eponymous Ridgeside Village), 24 new NPCs, custom festivals, and much more. Two of these festivals are attended by Pelican Town's residents; Diverse Stardew Valley will automatically detect if Ridgeside Village is installed and give Stardew Valley's NPCs festival outfits to wear at Ridgeside Village's festivals and formalwear at Ridgeside's wedding event. No configuration is needed.

Author: Amaranthacyan

Show details

Platonic Partners and Friendships allows the player to set their relationship with Pelican Town’s bachelors and bachelorettes as being non-romantic, editing the selected vanilla 10-heart events to be platonic in nature and enabling the player to enter into a platonic life-partner relationship instead of a romantic marriage, among other things.

Compatibility with Platonic Partners and Friendships is built into Diverse Stardew Valley and doesn’t require a separate patch; to enable this feature, edit the “PlatonicNPCs” config option in the Diverse Stardew Valley configuration file to match your configuration options in PPAF by adding the names of any marriage candidates you have set as platonic with commas separating each name.

For example:

PlatonicNPCs: Abigail, Alex, Leah, Sam, Shane

would limit Abigail, Alex, Leah, Sam, and Shane to platonic interactions with the player, but leave Elliott, Emily, Harvey, Haley, Penny, Maru, and Sebastian as potential romantic options. By enabling the option in DSV's config as well as PPAF's, DSV will remove blushes from the "love" portrait expression for platonic NPCs and give them a unique outfit for PPAF's commitment ceremony.

If you would like certain NPCs to be non-romantic but do not want to remove the blush from the "love" portrait expression, leave the PlatonicNPCs option blank.

Downloadable Compatibility Patches

This section describes mods that require you to download additional files to make them work properly with Diverse Stardew Valley. Here, we'll explain the changes made by each non-DSV mod, how the DSV compatibility patch adapts to fit, and which options to select in DSV, the parent mod, and the downloadable compat patch. Generally, any characters affected by a downloaded compatibility patch must be set to "off" in the main Diverse Stardew Valley’s config.json - if you encounter any issues, please check that your options are set correctly before submitting a bug report!

The downloadable compatibility patches can be found on DSV's ModDrop page, and more detailed instructions can be found below.


Authors: Rafseazz and the RSV Team

Show details

Ridgeside Village adds a new location (the eponymous Ridgeside Village), 24 new NPCs, custom festivals, and much more. Several of Ridgeside's new NPCs are related to Pelican Town residents: Lenny is Lewis's older sister, Bert is Caroline's cousin, and Trinnie is Caroline's niece. DSV's compatibility patch adds new portraits and sprites for these characters to match DSV's racial variants of Lewis and Caroline, along with either a black or green hair colour option for Trinnie.

Choices in "DSV for Ridgeside Village":

  • LennyVariant: "modded", "off"

Make Gunther Real turns Gunther into a full, marriageable NPC and expands on his character. DSV’s compatibility patch enables seasonal outfits for Make Gunther Real’s version of Gunther and adds a new portrait and sprite for his daughter Cecily; either modded or vanilla Gunther can be selected in the configuration options.

Make Gunther Real is incompatible with Gunther to NPC and Museum Expansion, so the DSV patches for these three mods cannot be used together.

To use Make Gunther Real, download the compatibility patch and set Gunther to "off" in Diverse Stardew Valley’s config.json. In Make Gunther Real’s config.json, set "Sprite" to "vanilla" and "Cecily Portrait Style" to "vanilla".

Museum Expansion turns Gunther into a full non-marriageable NPC as well as adding a new character, Gunther’s nephew Charlie. DSV’s compatibility patch enables seasonal outfits for Gunther; currently there is no matching version of Charlie, although this may be available in the future. Both modded and vanilla versions of Gunther are available.

Museum Expansion is incompatible with Gunther to NPC and Make Gunther Real and the DSV patches for these two mods cannot be used together.

To use Museum Expansion, set Gunther to "off" in Diverse Stardew Valley’s config.json.

Choices in "DSV for Museum Expansion":

  • GuntherVariant: "modded", "vanilla"
