Recommendations: Selling Out to Joja

From Stardew Modding Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Selling out to Joja is a lot more fun than most people make it out to be, and definitely not the soul death some redditors would have you believe. After all, is it really better to exploit junimos to fix up the town in ways that benefit you personally in exchange for resources they don't seem to have a use for? And when you go blue, you don't have to worry about finding that elusive red cabbage. What's not to like?

Well, for one there's not a lot of content original to Joja in the Vanilla game. In fact, the NPCs don't even notice Joja fixing up the town. Fortunately, there are mods that make selling out both fun and profitable. :D

Story and dialog

Joja Immersion - NPCs now notice and comment on Joja making improvements to the town. An absolute must for any Joja run, and compatible with SVE (as of SVE 1.13).

Stardew Valley Expanded - Adds multiple new NPCs who work at Joja, complete with heart events, and even a Joja-specific storyline with a very different path from the usual story.

Juliet and Jessie the Joja Clerks - Adds two new NPCs who work at Joja, both of whom are not only very well written but seamlessly fit into the town while being distinct personalities.

Abigail and Juliet Prank the JojaMart - Adds a fun storyline in which Abigail teams up with Juliet to torment Morris.

Crops and animals

Joja Seeds - Joja sells bio-engineered seeds that are improvements on the originals in various ways, such as having shorter growth times, more chances of extra crops at harvest, or can be grown in multiple seasons. Also adds some new heirloom crops for Pierre.
