Hi! These are some mods that I find pretty interesting for quality of life and minor flavor.

Currently only cover Quality of Life and game mechanics.

Mod Name	Key Feature(s)	Reason(s) to use	Reason(s) not to use	Category
Better Hay	Hay drops when cutting grass with the scythe before having silo Farmer can pull hay from hoppers even if all animal feed locations are full	You can clear grass before building silo without feeling you wasted all those hays You can directly purchase animals building instead of silo	You enjoy a slower progression	QoL
Water Bot	Farmer can be commanded to water the crops on their own.	You can avoid all those clicks	You want to maximize time efficiency after upgrading the watering can (The bot can't use wider area "power-up", yet?) You get bothered with slightly incorrect animation	QoL
Stack Split Redux	Shift+right click can split the item stack into a specified amount instead of half.	You can quickly get the right amount of item		QoL
Forage Pointers	Blinking arrow appears on nearby forages and or digging spot (Range scales based on forage skill)	You have difficulty spotting the forages You hate missing the forages behind trees, buildings, or grass (Yes, I'm talking about you truffles!) You tend to forget digging spot exists You like nighttime foraging	You don't want the arrow to appear during cutscenes (I have commented on the mod page to have this behavior configurable, finger-crossed)	QoL
Show Birthdays	Calendar shows when there are multiple NPCs' birthday	You hate missing the birthdays of too many custom NPCs you have		QoL
Daily Screenshot	Screenshot of the farm map taken automatically each day (or another configuration as you like)	You love seeing how far you've made it You want to make time-lapse of some kind or complement your farmer diary		Utility
Data layers	Overlay for various purposes. Go check the mod description	You want to check the range of items like bee house, sprinkler, scarecrows, and junimo huts You want to know the range of auto water for paddy crops You hate when there's something in the map that blocked you from purchasing that building from Robin		QoLDebugging
Zoom Level	Keyboard shortcut to zoom in and out Zoom past the game limit	You like playing it zoomed it or zoomed out past the vanilla limit You just zoom a lot		QoL
Social Page Order Button	Button in social page to order your relations alphabetically or by hearts, ascending or descending	You have too many custom NPCs You think this feature might be handy	You barely look at the social page	QoL
Happy Birthday	Pop-up after the mod installed to select farmer's birthday and favorite thing Parents, spouse, and villagers give you gifts and wish you a happy birthday Spouse specifically give you your favorite thing	You find it cute and immersive You like to get a prismatic shard or a magic rock candy once a year or more with multiple spouses	You don't believe in a happy birthday!	Immersion
Hoe and Water Direction	Allow changing direction when using hoe and watering can	You hate wasting energy and time on wrong area of land (Especially after charging)		QoL
