I just started playing this game for the first time and I'm in year 3 now. I married Sam and I'm glad. He's sweet and his 14 heart event was very cute.

I've been playing a ton of Elden Ring, but I should get back into Stardew Valley to relax. My current save is on year 3. I have no plans of marrying (but I'm partial to Abigail or Elliot) and instead just want to get max hearts with the villagers and run my farm as a bachelorette.
I have a flock of chickens IRL, and a potted plant garden. One day I kinda want to have my own little cottage and farm in an idyllic little town surrounded by nature. One can only hope, though.

>>193682I married Maru my first playthrough. Though she seems like an unpopular choice in the fandom. It does kinda suck after you marry them they seem to not have as much personality or ambition anymore. I HC she likes to invent new farming equipment.
It's better to marry a neet like Shane or Leah because if you marry them or not they still do the same shit everyday kek.
>>193693Whenever I start a new farm I am always racing to get the greenhouse before winter so I can still make income. I kinda loose interest in growing crops at that point though, I much prefer to go in the mines. There still is a lot of cool shit to get on the island, you just have to collect the golden walnuts to unlock more stuff. I recommend looking up a guide for these, I would have never found some if I didn't
cheat I think unfortunately ConceredApe is pretty much done with Stardew, he wants to work on other games now
I'm currently trying to 100% my switch file, I think I'm like 89%?
The most tedious part of 100%ing the game is having ALL the recipes and ingredients to make them. Some cooking recipes only show up once every rotating year on the tv, if you end missing it you have to wait another 2 years to catch it.
No. 193716
>>193682It would have been better if the dev cared more about about the romance aspect of it… I tried a few spouses with different saves, but it's so sad how they only ever have like three lines and barely leave the house. When you're unmarried you can give them gifts and talk to them every day and hear something new, this feels so boring. Doesn't help that most spouses share certain lines as well, they really lose so much personality after marriage. Luckily there are some mods for that
>>193705God, I only managed to get those recipes because of a mod called Ui Info Suite that lets you know if there's a new one. Right now I'm mostly done with my farm, just missing a few artifacts that I can't seem to get my hands on no matter what, such a pain

Yeesss I wanted to make a Stardew thread but wasn’t sure if there’d be enough interest. Plus I’ve never made a thread before so I was also being a bit of a coward lol. When I first started playing, I was dead set on marrying Shane (I can save him…) but now I’m not sure. Part of me wants to experience all the heart events with everyone but another part of me thinks it’s sad how empty their lives seem to become once you marry them.

No. 194480
>>194246>What kind of interactions do you have in mind?I would love to be able to do things like actually "play" with the pets. We have a friendship feature, but what's the point of it (other than Grandpa's evaluation) if we can only pet them? I think stuff like being able to play fetch with the dogs would be a more immersive way to build our relationship with them. I would also love to be able to craft furniture (like cat trees), train them to do certain commands and give them treats.
I was also the anon who asked about the mushrooms! I now know that you can make life elixirs and stirfry (>>193980) but I am kind of wishing that I chose the fruit cave since I'm at a point where I'm making money off of my fruit and veggie preserves. I just heard the mushroom cave was better so that's why I picked it.
>>194247I agree with the pet following! It could be considered walking them and another way to build relationships. This could be a dumb idea, but perhaps pets could help hunt and find forageables while out with the player (just so they feel more useful).

Mine still looks pretty bad, but I plan on making it look cute in the future. Makes me wish I picked fruit bats, since I don't have a use for shrooms anymore and it would be much easier to decorate. Maybe a little cafe table date spot?

"Famer should know better, tomatoes AKSHUALLY fruits!!!" >Treats his stepson Sebastian differently than Maru (throwing him in a basement and not giving a fuck while giving Maru a cutesy room and spend time with her), who is just a kid from wife's previous marriage.>One of the new missions require you to give hardwood to Robin, his wife. She creates an unique and beautiful bed with it. He starts spregging that her art was a waste of wood, mocks her and storms out once you comment that her bed is actually beautiful.>"Stay away from my daughter because I don't want anyone to be in the way in her bright future">Completely ignores the existence of Sebastian to a point where Sebastian purposely leaves the house only when Demetrius leaves the lab >There is also some cutscene where it's shown how much of a passive-agressive dick he is towards Sebastian but I forgot which oneI am not even married to Sebastian in-game, I just enjoyed getting as many cutscenes with the characters as I can, but goddamn Demetrius…is something else.

>>198212Nonna are you playing on some console? idk how it feels on other platforms but try to do small fast taps of the button instead of holding and letting it go, and if you have a fish that wiggles up and down really fast try to keep the bar in the middle of it's path instead of trying to chase it, and when it gets slower then start following again. Also if you don't want the bar to bounce when you drop it to the bottom, you can tap the button just when it hits the ground so it doesn't hop. It requires some timing though
It also gets easier once you level up, so if you're really struggling you can always play the long game, and get a training rod (25g) which limits the fish you catch to few easy ones and grind the levels out.
Seems to me it's best to grind that way in mountain lake since it has 3 of the few fish with highest xp gains for training rod (18 base)You can do it! Don't let the fish bully you!

I just found out the most big brained way to make money in the first year without too much effort. I was watching a run of 100 days in Stardew valley, and this person made friends with the villagers that would send you the most useful stuff first. If you reach 2 hearts with Caroline and go to the room in her kitchen she will show you how to make tea bushes. Once you learn the recipe you can craft them out of wood,fiber & wild seeds, which aren't that hard to make in the early game if you've been picking up as many foragbles as possible.
Instead of planting them for the tea you can just sell the saplings as is for 500 gold each. It might take a bit of effort to make the wild seeds and get the two hearts with Caroline (she likes daffodils which grow in spring so spam her with any gold quality ones) but if you can do that you can make a lot of money in Spring Y1 easily. I am always struggling to make enough for the coop and chickens early game so if this could help you even afford that then you'll be set.

If I've already played Stardew Valley, is keeping up with Story of Seasons (formerly Harvest Moon) worth it? I was a fan of HM for years but SV felt like it had everything that HM should have had. The last HM game I played was such a let down compared to the previous HM games that I never touched the new games. But I'm curious to know if any SV fans can honestly say that more recent SoS/HM games are even nearly as good as SV
