This is a collection of my own mods for Stardew Valley that you can pick-and-choose from to suit your needs. All mods require the ubiquitous SMAPI (Modding API) to work, so make sure you install that first and follow its instructions. That’s really all there is to it.
Better Weapon Stats
- Example 1
- Example 2
- Guide to weapon stats
This mod shows more useful weapon stats on the weapon tooltips. It overrides the existing tooltips to show the new stats.
I always felt like the vanilla tooltips were especially confusing, perhaps even intentionally so as to contribute to the overall mystical feel of the game. For example, you could have a sword with -4 Speed be somehow faster than a club with +4 Speed. And also, the critical chance and power values didn’t convey at all how they affected your damage. +2 Critical Chance? +25 Critical Power? What do those values even mean?? So, I just always used whatever sword had the most damage since they felt the most powerful. But are they?
This mod will demystify all those ambiguous weapon stat values by showing critical chance as a percent, critical power as a multiplier, and speed in attacks per second. It will also calculate out the average damage per hit, taking into account buffs, critical hits, professions, and enchantments; and it will calculate the DPS (damage per second) by multiplying the average damage by the attack speed. Finally, it will show the knockback value for all weapons (and call it “Knockback” instead of “Weight”), taking buffs into account.
Cleaner Shipping Sounds
This mod removes the hissing from the sounds that play when you put items into the shipping bin. The hissing might not bother most people, but for those experienced with audio editing or creation, it will be all you can hear. Requires the Content Patcher mod framework.
One caveat for this mod: pitch variations don’t work currently with replaced sounds. It seems like an issue with Content Patcher or the game itself.
More Ladder Sounds
This mod makes is so that uncovering ladders (and holes) by breaking rocks produces the same sound effect as uncovering ladders via monster death. This gives a consistent audio cue whenever ladders (and holes) are found, which I find more pleasing and helpful.
