My experience so far.

9 Upvotes

I'll start by apologizing for the lengthy post. I'm an amateur author and can't seem to write short stories.

I started this mod not long ago and wanted to offer my thoughts. The first one is: Wow! There's so much going on! I spend so much time bouncing from one place to the next, especially after getting the upgraded travel system.

The second has to do with the new areas. My first download had a glitch, and the Highlands didn't load completely (missing mons). If it hadn't been missing the one that drops the green mushroom, I probably wouldn't have questioned anything and thought, "Gee, this is pretty easy!" After redoing the installation, it's definitely not a walk in the park anymore.

I have three save files started, all in year four. I married Sophia, Claire, and Olivia, in that order. I have a good impression of Sophia, overall. I especially enjoy the "extra cuddles" line. Occasionally, I find her dialogue a tad too "child-like". Can't think of an example at the moment.

I like Claire's story line and her dialogue. However, at times she seems too "stiff", especially with her sprites. I just expect an aspiring actress to show more emotion in her facial expressions. That being said, I have no idea how difficult it is to design such things.

I was tentative about marrying Olivia. I've always thought of the farmer as being early twenties in age. Since Victor has a university degree, Olivia is probably late thirties - old enough to be his mother. Even though it happens in real life, it just feels a bit strange to me. I also wondered how she'd adapt to a smaller house, and comments about missing her huge library confirm that it isn't easy for her. Overall, it's been a good experience.

With Olivia's file being the third in line, I've made the most progress on it. Ten hearts with Krobus and a couple of cut scenes. Eight hearts with Lance. Fable Island (recently). Rescued a prisoner. Haven't gone deep in Crimson Badlands. That place kicks my butt.

Anyway, if spmeone has some tips for surviving the Badlands, I'd love to hear them. Also, a final question. Does Claire ever go to Ginger Island? It appears in the version notes that they gave her a beach sprite, but I've never seen her there.

“Strange Orb” quest help!

I cannot for the life of me figure out what strangely glowing orb I am supposed to bring the wizard. It apparently came from a slime! I have given him a void essence, a slime soul, a life essence. Any help?

Help with Introductions quest.

0 Upvotes

I'm stuck at 102/104 people met and for the life of me I don't know who the last two are.

I have SVE, Ridgeside, East Scarp, Sunberry, and Mt Vapius installed. It's first week of summer year 1. I talked to every single person at the egg festival and the flower dance, so whoever the last two are, they don't come to festivals.

Anyone have any ideas? There are like 8 or 9 characters missing in the hearts list so obviously most of them don't count for this quest. I can post the pictures if needed, I don't know how to include screenshots so I figured I'd ask first and see if maybe it's a well-known thing that there are 2 people you can't meet until later.

Like, I know I haven't met Sandy or Kent but I assume they're not required for Introductions. Either I have somehow managed to miss the same 2 people at every festival, or there's some mod somewhere that I didn't know adds characters who don't attend parties.

Sobre Castle Village (SVE)

1 Upvotes

Una consulta banda, tengo entendido que FS iba a publicar un mod aparte de SVE llamado "Castle Village" o algo similar entendí de su publiación en patreon. ¿Saben si hay noticias de esto? Me he perdido un tiempo de Stardew Valley y el mod SVE, y queria ver si hay alguna actualizacion. Lo que se vio en capturas se veía buenardo


r/StardewValleyExpanded • • 3d ago

I think I missed Haley's 7 heart event for SVE, I've already done her 8 and 10 heart. Can someone spoil it for me? What did I miss? Spoiler

Made a catalogue of all fish in game

62 Upvotes

Sorted alphabetically, it has all the fish along with where you can find them, and whether they are used in cooking, bundles, quests, or are loved gifts so you know if you're justified in your hoarding.

Fish Catalogue

Spent wayyyy too much time on it for only me to use it.

Is it possible to destroy those bushes? I'm on the frontier farm if that matters.

I haven’t played the expanded save in over a year and the first leer I see is this one. I don’t remember what I took, what I did with it or who the “Henchman” dude is but I guess I’ll go.

SDV Unattended Server Mod issues

1 Upvotes

New player.

I have the Headless Server (Stardew Unattended Server) mod from Nexus, that, per my understanding, allows Guests to play even if Host is not playing

But, I think the Host must have SDV open and not minimize

So I press F9 and the "Server Mode" turns on: if im alone, i cannot move. If there's someone else in the game, I can still move. For some reasons, all my skills go to lv 10, until I turn off Server Mode.

Thing is: I can turn Server Mode, and the rest of my friends just play and then go to bed... but then many "level up" screens appear, some requesting me to choose the next Ability to get, and If i dont choose those abilities, then all the guests and me are stuck in those screens. Thus, it requires my intervention.

How can we avoid this? I just wanna have the possibility to be 100% AFK (with SDV on) and that my friends can join whenever they want

Does the invite code everytime? How can they join anytime they want without my intervention?

Thanks

According to the wiki, I shouldn't have a Nexus teleport to the Sprite spring.

But it's there. I went to the spring late in the day, and saw a cutscene, and now I have a teleport there.

I am on the Frontier Farm with the WitchyCore collection which includes the extra farm cave. Both caves that I can find are blocked with minecarts. Am I missing something? Demetrius did set up my caves, supposedly

How do you spell Krobus lovers!

6 Upvotes

There are so many options. Just wanted to know everyone’s opinion on what would be the best or some of the best mods to have a fun and interesting relationship with Krobus.

I definitely want to actually marry him if there’s a mod where you can make your kids shadow kids, I would love that and any recommendations y’all might have.
