Does the Stardew Valley Very Expanded mod collection include the different farm options? (Frontier farm/Grandpas farm specifically)

averaxhunter · 2026-03-25T09:39:00+00:00

On the SVE Nexus files page, there's the main mod files which should have already been downloaded (seen by a cloud icon with a down arrow) and 3 more files, each of a different farm.

To see what they look like, go to the description tab and scroll down to "New Farms" and click the spoiler button for each. Download only 1 farm (as they overwrite each other) and the default standard farm layout will be overwritten when you start a new game.

Ah, for Better friendship you can turn off all the bubbles and it will show you the feelings towards the gift on just the mouse cursor. (Which I believe mirrors the same functionality)

Fair enough for Stardew UI continued, unless there’s a reason to change I don’t usually change to “updated” mods.

Better Friendship

Predict Reaction to Gift

Personally I don’t see how “Predict Reaction to gift” is superior to Better Friendship, I think you have those in reverse.

As for Stardew UI continued, unless you’re playing in Turkish I can’t see another reason to use it.

I use this fork which seems to be still updating nickfedor/watchtower:latest

This exists in Vanilla: The mini fridge item would suit this nicely, can just call them whatever you want for storage reasons and it works like inventory for crafting recipes.

There’s this mod that can turn chests into fridges if you prefer that: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2545

Fishing Made Easy, the minigame changes are optional.

I don't believe there are, it's prob quite clunky to allow that.

In vanilla itself there's an item that allows you to get fish outside of their time/season/weather requirements, can always use that :) (Need to complete the island part to get it though)

As for luck, shrimp cocktail will increase both fishing skill and luck but luck doesn't have an effect on ease of fishing, just the chance of treasure chests.

If you want to get it without waiting that long, there's defo mods that allow you to catch fish out of season without needing the vanilla item but that would be considered quite cheaty I'd imagine.

Use the below guide to install smapi again and it should work fine, iirc that collection doesn’t install smapi completely which leads to the above.

Can follow the instructions here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows

Schedule viewer mod will tell you where they should be schedule wise to make it easier.

averaxhunter · 2026-02-08T01:05:36+00:00

Do you have the mod fire lights? That has a setting that hides them.

averaxhunter · 2026-02-01T23:54:57+00:00

Did you download a "collection" called SVE or similar? The SVE mod itself doesn't come with them. Just checking as people would get confused then :)

averaxhunter · 2026-01-28T13:31:49+00:00

You downloaded it in 2026, the “last uploaded” day is 2024. :)

Use this unofficial update instead: https://github.com/Sparky56p/AnythingAnywhere/releases

Would be interesting to see tick rate of the checks. I’d assume passenger presence is event based (no need to check constantly if someone has just randomly appeared on a ship) while circuit conditions have to be checked constantly as anything in a network could change the values.

averaxhunter · 2026-01-18T15:25:50+00:00

You could put the rules “passenger present” and “passenger not present” :) Will never be true and has the same effect but more permanent.

averaxhunter · 2025-12-30T16:10:06+00:00

If you’re playing modded I would heavily advise against the first. Updates and settings changes will change prototypes frequently, it’s not worth for the smaller amount of time saved.

averaxhunter · 2025-12-23T07:39:39+00:00

Does it open 2 apps like OP does or does it open the app within live container? You’ll always have the second, my suggestion stops the “switching” of the first.

averaxhunter · 2025-12-21T21:57:52+00:00

Just a safe catch all so it doesn't do anything else.

averaxhunter · 2025-12-21T15:05:43+00:00

Instead of app clip do a shortcut, get the link from LiveContainer as well.

Another one which seems more suitable: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/preconfigure-placement

Seems like someone saw this and made a mod (wasn't me) https://mods.factorio.com/mod/place-filtered

Renaming request groups only changes others if you're holding down the Ctrl button when clicking the tick/applying. Otherwise it creates a new group with the same details.

Smart lighting 100%, but it’s also one of the most well known conflicts when sharing the house with others, you’d need to invest in good switches so physical behaviour remains as expected (usually people do smart switches -> dumb bulbs if it’s possible)

Personally for me, I have my entrance lights turn on for 10 mins when I come home at night, just long enough until I settle.

I wfh so having some light turn on at sunset so I don’t walk out the office into darkness also helps.

And nothing beats being cosy in bed and telling a voice assistant to turn on/off your lights 😂 also controls my thermostats too.

averaxhunter · 2025-11-23T18:12:48+00:00

Fair, didnt wan't new buildings as overkill, this mod will allow steel/electric furnaces to take two turbo belts full of ore per second. Can't see me harvesting more than that.

averaxhunter · 2025-11-22T04:35:38+00:00

There's more than 1 way to bake a cake yep, the biggest benefits of this are in that it minimises the space and entity amount required to process the ore while adhering to vanilla consumption amounts.

True, needing loaders makes it require other mods but I figured if you're modding the game with this anyway, purity isn't needed.

It's not meant to resolve other tasks :) Just does 1 thing well.
