Video game modders add longevity and life to a game. Titles like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim<\/em> and\u00a0Garry’s Mod<\/em> would not have seen the lasting success they have if it weren’t for the dedicated community expanding and improving their favorite titles.<\/p>\n

While Stardew Valley<\/em><\/a> is an indie game, it’s become more popular than ever with the release of the expansion-sized 1.5 update, and the\u00a0modding scene has taken off<\/a>. From complete overhauls to small quality-of-life improvements,\u00a0Stardew Valley<\/em>‘s community mods have made the indie gem more replayable and exciting than ever before.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Stardew Valley Expanded<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

When it comes to mods that change the way\u00a0Stardew Valley<\/em> is played,\u00a0Stardew Valley Expanded<\/a> stands above the rest as a true overhaul of the game. This mod changes NPC behavior and map locations, adds countless new areas and NPC characters, and roughly doubles the size of the in-game map to include new foraging and natural areas.<\/p>\n

Stardew Valley Expanded could be called an unofficial expansion, but that doesn’t really do the mod justice. Stardew Valley Expanded\u00a0could easily be its own game\u00a0due to the sheer amount of new content added to the base title.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>NPC Map Locations<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In the base game, players hoping to finish a quest with a specific NPC need to track them down based on their normal routine.\u00a0There isn’t anything that tells the player\u00a0exactly<\/em> where to find them at any given time.<\/p>\n

The NPC Map Locations<\/a> mod adds simple sprites to the in-game map that shows the current location of every NPC. This is especially useful for finding wandering villagers on their birthday to reap those extra friendship point<\/a>s.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Lookup Anything<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Lookup Anything<\/a> is a quality of life mod that displays detailed information about, well, anything in the game. Some uses of this mod include seeing how degraded the farm’s fences are, when a crop will be ready for harvest, and what an NPC likes and dislikes in terms of gifts. If the game has hidden data for an item or tile, this mod\u00a0displays\u00a0it.<\/p>\n

Lookup Anything\u00a0is a must-have for the data-driven player. While the Farm Computer added in 1.5<\/a>\u00a0displays a lot of details about the farm as a whole, this mod shows\u00a0all<\/em> the details<\/em> about\u00a0everything<\/em>.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Skull Cavern Elevator<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Players heading into the Skull Cavern for the first time are in for a bit of a surprise. Whereas the mines save the player’s progress every five levels, the Skull Cavern has no elevator, meaning they must start from level 1 every time they delve into the dungeon in the desert.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0Stardew Valley: Skull Cavern Tips<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

This\u00a0mod<\/a>\u00a0adds an elevator to the cavern, allowing players to jump back to floors they’ve already explored. It might seem simple, but it’s a quality of life mod that makes this intermediate part of the game much more manageable.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Automate<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Automate<\/a> mod\u00a0turns regular storage chests into industrial-era factory equipment.\u00a0A chest\u00a0with the Automate mod installed pulls and pushes items out of\u00a0adjacent machines (crystalariums, casks, furnaces, etc)\u00a0 and makes the production of artisan goods a far less complicated task.<\/p>\n

This mod also allows\u00a0multiple<\/em> machines or artisan equipment to be chained together and work as a unit. As long as one of the machines is adjacent to the chest, and all others are touching too, the chest will automatically populate every single one.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Wear More Rings<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It’s an important and popular fact that humans have\u00a08 fingers…yet\u00a0Stardew Valley<\/em> characters can only equip two rings at a time. While this makes sense from a game design perspective, players have wanted the option to equip more rings since the game launched.<\/p>\n

Wear More Rings<\/a> gives the player eight slots for rings instead of the usual two. While this makes the game far easier for someone who can afford many rings, it doesn’t break the game completely and adds another sense of progression<\/a> to the character’s equipment.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Gift Taste Helper<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In the friendship menu, players can see their current relationship level with each NPC. While this screen shows how many gifts have been given to each NPC in a given week, it doesn’t show what NPCs like to receive and what they hate.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a010 Best Gifts In Stardew Valley And Where To Find Them<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Gift Taste Helper<\/a>\u00a0mod shows the loved goods of every NPC. Instead of forcing the player to open a new tab and refer to the wiki every time, this mod seamlessly integrates NPC preferences into the game’s interface.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Part of the Community<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Part of the Community<\/a> is a lightweight mod that improves the rate and methods by which the player increases their friendship level with NPCs. In the base\u00a0Stardew Valley<\/em> game, the main ways to improve relationships\u00a0are to give gifts and complete quests.<\/p>\n

This mod adds a variety of smaller systems that improve the player’s rate of gaining friendship. The Witness Bonus, for example, gives a small friendship bonus to every NPC who sees the player give a gift. Taking part in festivals<\/a>, completing bundles, and shipping new items are also new ways to improve friendship introduced with this mod.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Yet Another Harvest With Scythe Mod<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Despite its name, the\u00a0Yet Another Harvest With Scythe Mod<\/a> is the most well-known scythe mod available with over 100k downloads. It does exactly what the label says \u2013 makes every crop in the game harvestable with a scythe \u2013 but that’s much more helpful than it might suggest.<\/p>\n

This mod makes short work of even the biggest fields of crops and reduces the time spent harvesting significantly, allowing the player to explore the many other facets<\/a> of\u00a0Stardew Valley<\/em>.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>CJB Cheats Menu\/Item Spawner<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While CJB’s Cheats Menu<\/a> and Item Spawner<\/a> aren’t necessarily mods that improve the game’s experience, they\u00a0allow a user to be creative. Without the restraints of gold, relationships, or tools, players can design beautiful farms, make plans for future layouts in their cheat-less games, and really dig into the aesthetic elements of the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In certain situations, this mod can be used to supplement a normal playthrough too. Imagine spending the night supplying kegs\u00a0and then, out of nowhere, you accidentally set off a bomb in the middle of the aging process. This mod can save a player from restarting, but one must be strict with the use of this mod in a cheat-less playthrough.<\/p>\n
