niiya's stardew valley mods list

LAST UPDATED: 08/12/2025

i see that you are interested in modding your stardew game!

it isn't very hard, honestly. the stardew valley wiki has a very helpful guide to doing so (linked below). you can mod your game on windows, macos, android, or steam deck.


** CLICK ME TO GAIN ESOTERIC KNOWLEDGE **


please note: if you are having issues with your mods, there is a high chance that it's because the version of the mod is not compatible with the current update- which, as of now, is 1.6. some mods will work despite being outdated, but this is hit-or-miss. mods that interfere with the save file can also cause some problems. some mods will interfere with each other and cause problems- always check compatibility! the sdv wiki/forum has great answers and resources to most troubleshooting.

several mods have required programs that need to also be downloaded and unzipped into your /Mods folder. the individual nexusgame pages for each mod that i will be providing should also have that information present. certain mods will not work if not paired with certain required programs.

mods that i personally use will have a "" next to them.

i will not be comprehensively linking furniture changing/etc. mods because there are just so many of them! maybe they will be added in later.
