The Warmth of Winter
A Themed Mod list to empathize the times we celebrate with one's community by staying warm during the harsh winter season!
I'll be including mods to get into the spirit of community, staying warm and having tasty food with the ones you love :3
Please note: Mods that edit the same thing may not be compatible such as ! This Mod list is made with the latest version in mind, which is 1.6.15! this may work with previous 1.5 update and the future 1.7 update but i'd definitely test on your end!
Farm Layouts:
Gameplay Mechanics:
Farmerchip's Custom Winter Star Gifts
Allows you to customize their winter star gifts based on villager's friendship levels. it likely isn't compatible with any of the unique winter star mods nor is this compatible with mods that do the same thing like Better winter Star gifts.
Better Winter Star Gifts by Bennoloth
Causes Npcs to give out better gifts to you during the winter star festival. this mod likely isn't compatible with any of the unique winter star mods nor mods that do the same thing like farmerchip's custom winter star gifts.
Dialogue Mods:
Unique Winter Star , Unique Winter Star - Ridgeside Village and Unique Winter Star SVE by Agent Lyoko
Adds more unique dialogue to make the winter star feel more unique! Changes to dialogue will go based on heart level (ex. Vincent's first line in Years 2+ will reference Kent and Penny's Line can be changed based on an event that can occur after the joja run or community center run. no spoilers but if ya know ya know ;) ), if the npc is datable or not and if you're married to an npc that is your gift giver. This mod also adds new gifters such as the wizard, sandy, krobus and the dwarf if certain conditions are met and the config for them to show up is enabled. Gifters can have the option enabled to have a custom list of gifts they'll give you plus a chance to recieve an ultimate gift from your gift giver once you are at the highest available heart level (ex. gus can have the chance to obtain 50 Qi Seasoning as his ultimate gift) though the chances of receiving their ultimate isn't very high you have a slight chance of getting some valuable items from them. you can add all 3 packs or just one of them to suit what mods ya got :3
Misc Mods:
Adds a festive music track to Pierre's and Joja during the fall and winter seasons! If ya don't want it on during fall there's a config option to turn it of :3
Portrait Mods:
UI Recolor/Edits Mods:
Recipe Mods:
Expansion Mods:
Additional Festival Mods:
Adds a brand new festival that takes place during the 6th of winter. Datable Npcs will give you love letters that can contain various items such as money, crops, food and more based on your heart level. the higher your friendship with single npcs the more likely you're to receive a love letter. Spouses will always you their love letter. this mod also has an optional pack to add dates. this mod should be compatible with multiplayer, the mobile version of stardew valley, and modded npcs (though according to the description modded npcs may not appear unless the author of the npc in question adds compatibility. currently SVE and Aspen is fully supported according to testing by the mod author of this mod) should be compatible with recolor mods and map edits but i'd definitely test on your end
Festival of the mundane (1.6 version added to the "Better Things" mod by Maatsuk/ 1.6.9 unofficial update posted on the stardewvalley.net forums by Dasorik in the unofficial mod update forum/the original version made for 1.5 made by MouseyPounds and MrPodunkian)
Adds a brand new festival that occurs in the sewers held by the shadow people! you can play some minigames, interact with the attendees, go for a bit of swimming and purchase special hats that have special effects outside the festival and allow you to enter at all!
(Note: the original version of the mod and the 1.6.9 unofficial update holds this event on the same day as spirit's eve but the current working version that is part of the "better things" mod holds this event on the 18th of winter. all versions have the same start time of 7:10 pm.)
Festival Edit Mods:
Emyn's Alternate Festivals by yishaqeni
Significantly changes the design and lore of the vanilla festivals. Currently is compatible with East Scarp (idk if it's compatible with the latest version but i'd test it),Diverse Stardew Valley, and Immersive Festival Dialogue. Should be compatible with recolor mods and map edits but you might need to toggle the config option "UsingOwnBuildings" to true to allow it to look consistent.
Not compatible with Stardew Valley Expanded nor Ridgeside Valley. the npcs from both mods may still show up but they'll likely still call the festivals by the original festival name. i'd try to edit the i18n in your respective language to change the names of the vanilla festivals to the ones in this mod.
(Do note that this mod was made with the 1.5 update in mind but this mod does work currently with the 1.6 update just check what mods are replacing the town's tilesheets and possibly enable the config option "UsingOwnBuildings" to disable edits if they interfer with your custom tilesheets. this mod only includes)
A mod that changes many elements to be a more unique and lore friendly winter star festival to be centered around the elusive stardrop. this festival changes the customs of giving friends and people in the community food instead of presents, adds gift tastes that make spice berries,cooked food items and fruits be a universally loved gift while making other items universally disliked, adds brand new art to replace the vanilla art to better fit the festival, new dialogue to have npcs reference the new customs of the winter star and new letters sent to you a week before the event that reference the custom surrounding the spice berry once a year. compatible various mods outside of SVE (as the author stated they haven't tested compatibility and won't offer compatibility if it's not), Emyn's Alternative Festivals and Xiddav's Festivals Recolor and Animations (due to their mods changing the same assets you must turn off edits to the winter star if you want to use them alongside this mod) include but aren't limited to:

- Unique Winter Star by AgentLyoko
- Immersive Festival Dialogue by tangeriney
- Immersive Characters - Shane by tenthousandcats
- Farmerjack's Dialogue Expansions by farmerjack

- Juna by Elhrvy
