This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

As far as labors of love go, Stardew Valley is probably the most current example. People paid for this thing years ago, but Concerned Ape keeps adding new features anyway. The retro graphics give this thing a timeless quality out of the box, so it already looks "dated" - this hasn't stopped the robust player community around it. We'll probably see this game stay relevant for a long time.

And that's before you start talking about modding the game.

The amount of mods for this game is insane. From simple QoL stuff through to full expansions.

No replay of the game ever has to be the same.

Do people ever do total conversion modifications anymore? Are there any Stardew Valley mods that turn it into something totally different?

I have no idea. Only recently tried an expansion mod for the first time. I never even considered conversion mods might be a thing for this game.

I was just reminiscing on how people used to do stuff like that for the early FPSes. And honestly, since I never really got into Stardew, I thought it might be cool to see a totally different world.

Hope you’re enjoying the expansion!

Yeah it's been great. Stardew Valley Expanded adds areas and characters and stuff to the game that feels like they belong in the original world. The creator did an amazing job.
