I was asked to give some recommendations for a first modded playthrough! While picking out the mods I wanted to use, I realized that Stardew has such a wide range of players that there’s no universal set of mods, so I decided to make three! Each set will change the game to a different extent. Of course, if there’s something you want to add or remove from any of these sets, feel free to! These are just recommendations, nothing is set in stone!

I know this video is old but I just got into modding. I am so grateful that you added a “Required Mods” section. This has saved me a lot of time to make sure everything runs smoothly
when I go to the altar, the magic selection menu is moved so I cant see it very well. is there a way to fix that?
how do give yourself the tractor? cuz i downloaded the mod and i have to get iridium and 150,000g. do i have to give myself money and the items to get it or is there a thing where i can get it automatically
not me just watching people recommended mods to use and me over here playing on console 🥲
Fun fact, as a vegetarian, I did not realise that all of the cooking in the vanilla game is vegetarian, up until now when I discovered the magic-meat-cleaver-wand-mod. :'-)
Ui info suite is also a great one
no homo but i clicked the video for the woman on the thumbnail 😳 where is she
10:24 Who else thought be was about the butcher the cat?
Can East scarp and grampleton field be in expanded?
My first Stardew Valley playthrough was on the PS4 and on the switch. Now I have a pc and I am so curious about modding 😍 this is such a great video for beginners, to have a clue of what you can do with mods. Thank you for this kind of content 🎉
Those Junimo look a little…. sus …
I like that they never say anything about the crewmate Junimos in any of their videos
Fantastic format, really enjoyable to watch. I have 1700+ hours in SDV and I like looking for new mods.
All these mods make Stardew Valley looks a lot like Rune Factory.
If you guys never played Rune Factory, give it a go, it's amazing!
I tried downloading the Stardew valley expansion mod but some of the required mods don't work, which is probably the reason why the mod itself doesn't do anything. What should I do now? If I open the game Smapi lists all of your mods right? some of the required mods turn yellow and it sais that they'll break after the next Smapi update. help pls TvT
This really helped me. Your mod playlist has the most helpful information period on mods for beginners. I really appreciate the way you thought this through and organized it for this vid. Applause!
definitely not yet interested in expanded or really any visual mods (yet, at least) but having fun with the basically cheating chests anywhere/ convenient chests mods as well as UI suit 2, upgrades for things that aren't upgradable (pan, bucket, sheers) and a few bits and pieces I've picked up from this video and elsewhere… It's actually so great.
Better ranching, spring in the bat/mushroom cave…
Choosing stuff that helps you with annoying challenges… while making sure not to trivialise too much (at least, not quickly) at the same time.
I have my switch for non-mods. But I freely admit to going crazy with them!
15:47 that's sus
Meat cleaver wand People upset cause it was "too violent" even though it has zero gore??? yall dont deserve to be on games if this really bothers you lmao
Mobile players be like: I'd love to but I'd rather wait for Zane and his first stable SMAPI for 1.5
Does seasonal outfit work with anime mod?
What about the progress bar for light modding.
I'm surprised you didn't include CJB Show Item Sell Price. Such a wonderful, unintrusive mod. Mouse over an item or stack, and it shows you what it sells for, both for an individual item, and the whole stack. Really useful when you're trying to figure out just how much you need to fish up to be able to afford the upgrade/building/etc that you need.
Question: Can I use a mod to a previous save I have? Like can I just continue my previous save but with a mod or do I have to start all over again?
they crash htoo much .
I wish they had modded for switch
crying while playing with 1008 mods
Hey Sal,
Thank you for all the detailed and lovely tutorials on so many SDV topics! I finally got SDV on PC and am looking forward to try out my first ever modded game.
But one question still remains:
If I start right of with all mods from the light AND the medium package (and add a couple more from your other videos) will my laptop survive that? How many mods can you add into one save file before it crashes?
i like the among us junimos
Do you guys know any way to fix lag problems ?
Does the tractor use energy or supplies, it looks like it took a lot of the later game stuff purposes away, like how the upgraded watering can and hoe can work on a big plot of land at once.
these are such great choices!
CAN U ADD A MOD TO ALREADY CREATED SAVES
Does anyone know if Ridgeside village and stardew valley expanded work together?
Can you add a mod while playing or can you only a new mod for a new farm?
For the tractor mod you can change what the tractor can die ex cutdown trees in the mod settings area
Me who nodded my first nodded playtrhough with Male seb expansion, earthly recolor, remember my marriage, dcburger portrait, visible fish, medieval building and crafting :
For my "First" playthrough I just want to enjoy the game vanilla. Then we can talk about the mods. I don't want to overtune the game, I don't want it to be overpowered. I want to keep the challenge, I rather want to make the game more interesting and give it some quality of life, but I don't want to make it become a crutchfest with complicated options making the game butter lightweight easy because of benefitting from the mods too much.
