welcome to peachmoon, a smol peach fairy's personal website. this is a place for me, [mana](/about), to shout my thoughts into the void in a much more aesthetically-pleasing way than your traditional social media account. I grew up with the [small web](/webcore), and these sorts of more personal websites are a source of nostalgia and joy for me, so of course I had to get started making one again as soon as I could. ![tehe](/img/cuteyay.gif)
![hoi](/img/emoji/korihi.gif) hoi i'm [mana](/about), a smol fairy that lives inside of your computer, or at least, your perception of me does. I'm just some lil guy currently residing in the united states. I love [music](/music) and Japanese & Korean idols. I wanna be one of those floral tea aesthetic girlies but if I'm honest I prefer my coffee. I'm a [gaymer](/games) who loves farming sims and visual novels. I'm too creative for my own good, my head is flooded with ideas for new projects all the time.
you'll find lots of information about whatever [silly](/games) [hyperfixations](/music) I'm [currently into](/now) here, along with [stuff people have made for me](/fridge), [art I've created](/rkgk), my [blog](/blog), and how to [contact me](/contact), if you're interested in doing that. I hope you'll enjoy visiting my little corner of the web. Thanks for stopping by!
<div class="aside">
I dabble in [drawing](/rkgk) and journaling, which I [blog](/blog) about (because of course I do). I've experimented in blender making mods for ffxiv (none of which I've released publicly -- just trust me, I've suffered in the blender mines) and have made mods for [stardew valley](/games/sdv).

like anyone who grew up in the 90's, I've had a personal website off and on [since 1997](/webcore) or so and always end up coming back to them bc I love the all-rounder nature of being a [fucking webmaster](https://justinjackson.ca/webmaster/). It's the perfect intersection of so many of my interests: graphic design, coding, computers, the internet, etc. I grew up with a personal computer me and my dad built out of literal garbage in 1996, so computers have been an interest of mine for most of my life.

## about this website { #website }
## this website
peachmoon.moe is built with [zola](https://www.getzola.org/) (a static site generator built in rust) and hosted by [gitlab pages](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/). I write everything in [VSCodium](https://vscodium.com/). The site was first uploaded on 21 February 2024. The current layout was heavily inspired by [lost letters](https://lostletters.neocities.org/) with responsive css generated by [this css layout generator](https://layout.bradwoods.io/). [lucidiot](https://tilde.town/~lucidiot/) helped me a lot with coding, troubleshooting, and proofreading (thanks!). The strawberry border is from [fool lovers](https://foollovers.com/). Much of the pixel art is snagged from [various](https://lostsozai.tumblr.com/) [oldweb](https://cutewebgraphics.tumblr.com/) [uploaders](https://pixel-soup.tumblr.com/) on [tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/dashboard/hubs?filtered_tags=decome). The icons across the footer are from [phosphor icons](https://phosphoricons.com/), and my counter is from [fc2](https://counter.fc2.com/). The last.fm now playing svg on my [now](/now) page is by [mono](https://dev.to/monochromish/expose-your-currently-listening-song-on-your-profile-with-lastfm-profile-readme-21oa). Current mood on the same page is powered by [imood](https://www.imood.com/), and status at the top of the [now](/now) page is powered by [status.cafe](https://status.cafe) The fonts used on this website are [Baby Doll](https://www.dafont.com/babydoll.font) by [Denne](http://deathmunkey.deviantart.com/), [Binchotan](https://rvklein.neocities.org/proj/binchotan/) by [R.V.

Most image editing is done in [paint.NET](https://getpaint.net/), but some photo editing (brushes, blurring, filters) are done on my phone with either [Line Camera](http://linecamera.snow.me/en) or [Bestie Camera](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bestie-portrait-selfie-editor/id953511734) (also available [on android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.pinguo.selfie&pli=1)).

The current layout is heavily inspired by the 2-column iframe layouts of the 90's/early 00's, but done with responsive css thanks to [this tutorial](https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_sidebar_responsive.asp) from [W3Schools](https://www.w3schools.com/).
My good friends [lucidiot](https://tilde.town/~lucidiot/) and egg helped me a lot with coding, troubleshooting, and proofreading (thanks!).
The background grid for both themes were made by me in [paint.NET](https://getpaint.net/) to match the sidebar graphic's color scheme, as are the site buttons. The sidebar tile backgrounds I found in an image search for tiled bgs (which I then edited heavily) and I unfortunately do not know who originally made them; if you do, please [contact me](/contact) so I can give credit!

tomorrow is my birthday~! I'm planning on having a pastel mermaid-themed cake with buttercream icing ^w^ and ordering pizza out for the occasion, in addition to heading to my local starbucks to get a free birthday drink uwu (it's dumb that it can only be redeemed on my birthday, but whatever \>w< it's fine...)
a friend got me a watercolor set, a GORGEOUS pink ink from sailor for my fountain pens, and a VERY cute smol doggo plush. ![cute yay](/img/cuteyay.gif) I haven't painted anything just yet with my new watercolor set; I need to order some watercolor paper and get to sketching!

I've had some mixed emotions going into this birthday, since I'm beginning to feel kind of embarrassed about telling people my age (mostly because they seem so surprised that I'm in my 30's?). I suppose I could get very negative and introspective about it, wistfully mourning that people must find me very immature or something, but I have chosen to take this as a compliment that I have not yet succumbed to boomer-dom.
@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ my kitchen is still a mess, and we're still working on getting completely moved
I found a [pretty good recipe](https://sugarspunrun.com/flourless-peanut-butter-cookies/#recipe) that is flourless (carbs are something he also has to watch bc of how they are converted into glucose; his doctor & nutritionist have warned him to be cautious of them). the cookies taste great, but the texture is very crumbly, almost like a pecan [sandie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandie_(cookie)), which he loves. the problem is trying to remove them from the cookie sheet when they're done, as they are VERY unstable & crumbly until they cool and harden. I tried adding a tiny bit of keto flour (1/3c if you're curious), but it changed the flavor entirely too much, so I'm planning on trying to add xanthan gum next time instead (albeit a LOT less, probably a tablespoon, as I've heard it's VERY powerful stuff).
I haven't made any tiramisu lately because I ran out of savoiardi and had made it for like...four or five weeks in a row. ![cute yay](/img/cuteyay.gif) i thought it might be best to take a small break from it so I don't get too burnt out. \>w<

I've been playing [Baldur's Gate 3](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1086940/Baldurs_Gate_3/) with a group of friends from my free company in ffxiv (I decided to take a break from the game once dawntrail was released), and it's been SO much fun that I've started a solo playthrough as well. \>w< with another group of friends, I'm also playing [Divinity: Original Sin 2](https://store.steampowered.com/app/435150/Divinity_Original_Sin_2__Definitive_Edition/). Neither of these games are the type of game I would've bought and played on my own, but I'm having a lot of fun with them! It's similar to playing a dungeons & dragons module, so if you're a tabletop enjoyer who can't get a group together, these games might scratch that itch for you.

in honor of reaching the 1000 answer milestone on my retrospring before its [shutdown](https://blog.retrospring.net/retrospring-is-shutting-down-on-1st-march-2025) next year, I will now be answering ***all*** of the [retrospring default questions](https://github.com/Retrospring/retrospring/blob/main/config/questions/en.yml)! Prepare yourself to know entirely too much useless information about me!!
<div class="QandA"><br>
1. Are you afraid of going outside at night?
- I am a woman, so yes.
2. Are you afraid of the dark?
- not as much anymore, but I used to be *terrified* of the dark.

11. Can you play the saxophone?
- I've never tried it.
12. Can you play the trumpet?

- I am always singing when I'm alone.
25. Do you prefer to browse the internet on your phone, computer, or another device?
- computer is what I've used the longest, so it's the most comfortable imo. my phone's touchscreen likes to go insane and randomly register a bunch of clicks/taps all at once and that makes using my phone an infuriating experience. (hey apple: fix your dogshit touchscreens please for the love of fuck, your products are too expensive to be getting away with this).

- I hate stairs, but I much prefer the privacy of a house to an apartment (I assume that is what is meant by flat).

- Yes.
31. Do you want more friends?

32. Do you want more money?
- As long as I am forced to exist under capitalism I will always want more money bc more money means more freedom under this system.
33. Do you want more things than you need?
- If I had them I'd give them away, so no, I don't have a desire to have more than I need. Enough would be great.
34. Do you want old times back?
- There are some things that I am nostalgic for (old friends I've lost touch with, for example), but as a rule I would rather focus on the present & future than to live in the past. Also most of my old experiences are bad, so no, I'm good with staying in the right now.
35. Do you want to know more about history?
- I know enough to be severely disappointed in humanity, but I'm not opposed to knowing more. We cannot learn from our mistakes if we are unaware of them.
36. Do you want to know more about new inventions?
- Unless they're widely available and are going to benefit people directly, then I'm good. Let the billionaires waste their time on this earth with their silly inventions.
37. Do you want to know more about your future?
- Kind of? I mean, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious, but like...I don't think knowing my future would be good for me. So I'll say no, with the understanding that I am curious.
38. Do you want to know more about your relatives?
- No, I'm not concerned with their lives.
39. Do your friends know much/too much about you?

- My closest friends do, but most people I meet aren't into them so I don't talk about my hobbies much.
43. Do your friends know much/too much about your life?
- Again, I think I'm an open book on this. I tend to take "how are you" type questions literally and will talk about almost anything if asked.
44. Do your friends like muffins?
- I can't think of any who dislike them.
45. Do your friends like social networks?
- Most of them have traditional sns accounts, so I'll go with yes?
46. Do your friends like video games?
- Most of my friends I made from playing video games so I'll say yes.

143. What do you think about the Internet?
- I miss when you had to know how to use a computer to be able to access the internet. Dumbing it down for the average user has made the internet worse. I used to be able to find information on it, now it's all bloated with fucking ads. I hate this. I want web 1.0 back.

154. What is the best/worst thing about your favourite movie?

155. What's the best/worst thing about your favourite series?
- best: it's a surrealist masterpiece
- worst: it doesn't spoon-feed you so most people don't bother looking at it closer and just write it off as "weird and confusing."

165. What is your favourite book series?
- before the show ended I might have said *A Song of Ice and Fire* (aka Game of Thrones) but I really fucking hate how it ended and am no longer looking forward to the (supposedly) forthcoming books, so I guess that means it's Laurell K. Hamilton's *Anita Blake* series? even though I stopped reading around *Incubus Dreams* because the smut had become the main focus of the books and I wasn't interested in that as much as the world she'd built up until this point. Honestly, if I'm being real, the series peaked at *Obsidian Butterfly* and it's been downhill ever since imo.

- asiago: it's flavourful, delicious, not too sharp, not too mild, and is interesting. it's good hot, melted, baked into stuff...it's the perfect cheese. a close second is champignon brie, the kind with mushrooms in it, but it's not versatile enough imo.

- I don't remember how most of it went, I think I had a bad day up until this point, but my (at the time) boyfriend that I lived with asked me to walk with him to the beach near our house. It was close to Christmastime and his mom was visiting us and it was really stressing me out, not to mention the tension of having to go to family gatherings, and I was really not feeling very well. It was late afternoon, the golden hour, and it was low tide, so the water had receded and the beach was muddy. The sky was a hazy shade of winter, and the leaves and grass were all brown and dead. I remember thinking about how beautiful it was, and walking with him quietly hand-in-hand, feeling like I was gonna cry. When we arrived at the beach, he took my hand and said some words to me, and as he was talking, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.

214. Would you rather be the best player on a horrible team or the worst player on a great team?
- best player on a horrible team; I cannot handle the pressure of knowing I am a massive let-down to my teammates. also if I'm the best, I can teach others to be better and possibly turn the team into a good one!
215. Would you rather live in a city or in the countryside?
- I love how walkable and accessible cities are, and for that reason alone I'd say city. Even though at heart I long for the countryside. Assuming I could have access to everything I needed, countryside tbh. but realistically? city.
216. Would you rather lose an arm or a leg?
- leg. I use my hands for basically everything I enjoy and if I lost one of them I'd really struggle with that.

I finally made my good friend Matteo's tiramisu recipe! It went really well, surprisingly! ![korilakkuma dance](../../img/koriarmsdance.gif)
I finally made my friend's tiramisu recipe! It went really well, surprisingly! ![korilakkuma dance](../../img/emoji/koriarmsdance.gif)
I really expected it to be a lot more difficult than it was, but it was actually really easy thanks to owning an electric hand mixer.

<figcaption>didn't it turn out lovely?</figcaption></figure>
It didn't turn out *perfectly* but that's quite alright; everyone's first try on any recipe hardly ever goes as planned, or at least that's been my experience...\>w<
I learned that you should **not** leave the savoiardi in the espresso; in retrospect I knew this, I think I was just *so* excited to make it that this detail escaped me, so once it was cut into, there is a small puddle of espresso at the bottom of the pan x3 ehehe...woops!
so for next time, we know to dip the cookies into the coffee mixture then place them into the pan, and *not* to let them sit in the mixture for too long lest they crumble apart ;w;
mistakes were made, albeit delicious ones ehehe~♡ \>w<
another thing I made today was a BLT! I hadn't made one of these maybe ever? I know I've eaten them before but I think every time I've had them they've been prepared by someone else :O
I was feeling hungry at lunchtime and I wanted something warm, hearty, but also light, because I've been trying to eat a little lighter lately. x3 I took a look in the fridge and remembered I have a pound of bacon (that's about 450g for my SI unit-using homies) in there and two heads of baby romaine lettuce. I checked the cabinet, sure enough, we had a single roma tomato left :D so I knew what I must do >:D

<figcaption>the satisfying cronch of romaine cannot be understated.</figcaption></figure>
so, we heated up two slices of bacon, and once that was done, we got the excellent idea of toasting the bread in the bacon grease (certainly not the *most* healthy, but it did let me avoid using mayonnaise, for whatever that is worth!). This sandwich...was very likely the best BLT I've ever had, including from in a restaurant. there wasn't too much bacon (a common complaint of mine, it should be enough to be hearty, but not oily/greasy), the tomatoes weren't those ultra-thicc American beefsteak tomatoes that are all water and no flavor (roma tomatoes are superior in every way, change my mind: you cannot), and the lettuce was crisp and perfect :D not the flavorless shredded iceberg one so commonly encounters in restaurants, but instead crisp, velvety, flavorfully earthy romaine :3 just a delight all-around, I heartily recommend making a sandwich in this way if you desire to try it! alternatively, arugula or butter lettuce would likely be very good as well!

so, first thing's first: I currently have shingles. for those of you too young to know what shingles is: congratulations, sincerely. I mean that. I had chicken pox in 1991 and the first varicella vaccine wasn't available widely in the USA until 1995, so needless to say, I've had chicken pox before (when I was very young). Shingles is what we call the re-emergence of the same virus that causes chicken pox later on in life (since it can live in your nerve cells, usually dormant). Since we don't fully understand what causes the virus to re-emerge, I don't know why it chose now to do so, but I am lucky in that my partner had a bout of it a few years ago, so I knew what was happening (and how serious it was) as soon as the rash formed.

I'm almost done watching the K-pop survival program "R U Next?" which the group Illit was formed from.

I kind of fell off the habit of bullet journaling recently; it's a little difficult to maintain bc I'm still deciding how I want to track my days, so I'm a little sporadic about maintaining it, but I'm trying to get back into it. What better time to pick it back up than [bujo day](https://www.instagram.com/p/CguRV4er75L/) (8/8)?
lately, this is how my daily logs are looking, pretty minimal and a big change from how they began:<div align=center><div style="aside">

lately, my daily logs are looking pretty minimal and a big change from how they began.
as a disabled person, an entire page for each day feels a little wasteful, since I don't really do enough to take up a whole page (which isn't really true, but I'm not in the habit of filling it out every day and *that* ***does*** feel wasteful). I have a bad habit of getting very focused on whatever thing I am working on and forgetting to eat, and keeping a food diary helped me make sure I was eating enough every day, same with the water drop stencil; I was using it to track my water intake (each row is one water bottle's worth).
Speaking of bujo: I've been buying some new inks, and even received one for my birthday~!

as I've stated before, I have pretty severe rheumatoid arthritis, having been diagnosed when I was 23, and writing easily makes my hands cramp up and my wrist hurt and all other sorts of nasty painful side effects, so finding a comfortable-to-use pen has been paramount.
as of right now, my go-to pen is a pink and white [Zebra Sarasa dry airfit grip 0.5mm](https://www.auraestelle.com/products/zebra-sarasa-dry-airfit-grip-gel-pen-black-ink-0-5mm) (this link is for educational purposes only, I highly recommend if you're interested in this pen checking your local stationery shop or aliexpress/some other cheap retailer based on your needs/availability; I don't get any kind of commission from linking them.) I love it so much, it's VERY gummy on the grip which makes me reflexively loosen my deathgrip on my pen (trust me this is very good). It writes INCREDIBLY smoothly (always a plus). My only gripe so far is that the letters it forms are a little large for my taste, so I find myself writing larger which isn't as comfortable for me. I much prefer smaller lettering, it's just always how I've written, so I have ordered the same pen in a 0.4mm to see if that helps, but it won't be here for another week or two...;w;
before I settled on the zebra I've been using, my go-to pen was a [Pilot Precise V5 RT 0.5mm](https://www.jetpens.com/Pilot-Precise-V5-RT-Retractable-Rollerball-Pen-0.5-mm-Black-Pack-of-2/pd/17976), which is still a *very* nice pen, and lets me write smaller, but doesn't have the gummy cushion the airfit does, and so my hand tends to get fatigued writing with it for any amount of time. I've kept it and plan to continue using it but for now, I prefer the sarasa airfit. ![mamegoma heart](../../img/mamegomaheart.gif)

I'm really thankful to my friend [lucidiot](https://tilde.town/~lucidiot/) for infodumping to me about pens and taking the time to help me understand what features I should be looking for in a pen to accommodate my arthritis; thanks to him I'm writing more than ever! (thanks, homie!)
anyway! the airfit has enabled me to write more and for longer, so my daily journaling has been happening more often, and since the bullet journaling/habit tracking stuff is still kind of new to me and I haven't formed the habit just yet, I've been slacking in that regard. ![oAo face](../../img/oAo.gif)
I'm also still kind of experimenting with bullet journaling and different methods of tracking stuff to determine what exactly I *need* to keep track of, as in, what I would *benefit* from keeping track of, so that aspect of my journaling is very much a work-in-progress. ![purin leggies](../../img/purinleggies.gif)

### simulations {#sims}
## simulations
these games are arguably role-playing games, but don't focus on the traditional battle mechanics of classic JRPGs or the western-style adventure RPGs and instead focus on some kind of simulation gameplay; whether that's running a farm, a restaurant, or taking care of tenants, there's some kind of management going on, and usually some amount of crafting & gathering as well. this is easily my favorite genre of game. no point bolding anything here as they're all favorites.

you quit your dead-end job at jojacorp after inheriting your grandpa's farmhouse in stardew valley and have to restore it to its former glory. a love letter to the SNES harvest moon - perfectly enjoyable on its own but also has a robust modding community giving this cozy lil farming sim infinite replay value.

### visual novels {#vn}
## visual novels
[visual and kinetic novels](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_novel) are electronic media very often compared to video games for obvious reasons, but are more akin to digital "choose your own adventure" novels. they are largely text-driven, but may contain drawings, rendered characters, voice acting, and even gameplay elements. I'm also on [vndb](https://vndb.org/u47780), so a more complete list of what I've played is there. What follows is a selection of some of my favorites. **Bolded entries** are highly recommended.

## modlist
this is a list of mods I'm using in my current modded playthrough.
### quality of life
- [Automate](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1063)
been debating getting rid of this one since they introduced [hoppers](https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Hopper) in 1.5.
- [Automatic Gates](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3109)
you can probably guess that this auto-opens and closes gates behind you so you don't end up getting off your horse by accident (a massive source of frustration in late-game).
- [Better Crafting](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11115)
a must-have for any mods that add craftables, it just tidies up the crafting menu & divides craftable items into categories.
- [Better Sort](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1992)
I am lazy and absolutely ***loathe*** having to manually sort my weapons/items/tools in my toolbar; this lets me set an order & forget about it; not compatible with GMCM.
- [Better Truffles](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/23228)
adds a bubble above truffles that have been dug up so you can see them through tall grass ;w;
- [Chests Anywhere](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/518)
I am disorganized and don't know where anything is, this prevents me from wandering from building to building trying to organize my inventory (an actual nightmare).
- [CJB Cheats Menu](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4)
I only use this for freezing time indoors and very rarely warping back to my house when I've stayed out too late...>.>;;
- [Crop Watering Bubbles Continued](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/21428)
adds a bubble above crops that have yet to be watered; useful for trellis crops/thicker crops that you may not be able to see the color of the dirt through. never re-water the same area 20 times bc of your ADHD again!
- [Furniture Adjustment](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10213)
do you hate the furniture grid system and wish you could adjust where your decor sits better? me too, so did the creator of this mod, enough to program this.
- [Happy Home Designer](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/19675)
a makeover of the in-game catalogue interface (and also adds some more complete catalogues) that has alternative texture integration (so you can select and view alternative textures as well when picking out an item from the catalogue).
- [Item Extensions](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20357)
a framework allowing modders to add custom resources, clumps, drops (from the train, treasures, panning), custom eating animations, and more.
- [Let Me Shop](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/16738)
allows you to still process geodes and buy things from Clint when getting your tools upgraded.
- [Noclip Mode](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3900)
great for modded maps (for example, mods that change the farmhouse); sometimes your furniture becomes lost in the void when upgrading your house, or an item spawns out of bounds: go get that rogue peach! If you're not familiar with the concept of noclipping, it allows you to pass through areas that are out of bounds.
- [Non-Destructive NPCs](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5176)
makes npcs react to objects in their path the same way they would to a player character being in their path (stopping, getting a ? above their head, then passing through quickly) rather than destroying it.
- [PNG Retex Helper](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6340)
great for any loose assets you have that you'd like patched into the game; saves you from having to write individually-tailored mods for each thing. instead, you can just drop any .pngs you have into the subfolders and they will be magically patched into the game! very nifty. :3
- [Skip Intro](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/533)
I love your vibe SDV and forcing me to chill out and wait for the game to load all the way but I am an impatient bitch sometimes, forgive me.
- [Spouse Room Renovation](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/23529)
allows you to completely redecorate your partner's room, including changing the flooring/wallpaper.
- [Tree Transplant (fix)](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20852)
Allows you to move any trees you've planted (modded or otherwise) from Robin's shop. Useful for remodeling/deciding where you want your orchard to be. Sometimes you just plant something and it grows way differently than you imagined; this is for that. >w<
- [UI Info Suite 2](https://github.com/Annosz/UIInfoSuite2/releases)
shows your luck, tomorrow's weather (if it's not sunny), reminds you to visit the traveling merchant & watch the Queen of Sauce; shows villagers' locations on the map, render heart levels with npcs more accurately, displays icons over animals that need petting, shows crop type and days until harvest on mouseover, shows a bubble over animals with item yields (ready to be milked/shorn), displays an icon reminding you your tool is done being upgraded, displays an icon letting you know how long robin will be working on a building, shows an icon by items which haven't been shipped yet, and much more! (also allows you to skip the intro using escape key...guess that's one more mod I can get rid of @w@;)
- [World Maps Anywhere](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/24210)
allows you to check modded areas' maps from anywhere (a prerequisite for mount vapius).
#### mental health QoL
- [No More Flies](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20780)
for my fellow entomophobes out there, this replaces that *awful* buzzing sound the cave flies make with a short list of provided alternatives and also changes the sprites for flies and grubs to be fairy slimes. also removes the buzzing ambient sound from summer leaving only birdsongs. there are plans to implement arachnophobia-friendly retextures as well.
- [Ilucie's Spider Replacement](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/21336)
for my fellow arachnopobes, this replaces the icky arachnids with cute angery junimos.
- [Pumpkin Junimos Replace Spirit's Eve Maze Spiders](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10300)
replaces the spirit's eve spiders inside the maze with pumpkins carved into junimos.
### prerequisites
- [Alternative Textures](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9246)
allows you to install texture packs for just about anything in-game (pets, children, buildings, craftables, etc.)
- [Bush Bloom Mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/15792)
enables modders to add custom bush harvestables (similar to salmonberries and blackberries in base game).
- [Calcifer](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20628)
supports custom object categories among other things, a requirement for many modded crops.
- [Cauldron](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/22926)
This mod does nothing on its own, but makes managing Wildflour's mod suite much easier! You can ignore this if you don't end up using her mods.
- [Content Patcher](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1915)
if you install anything, you'll probably want to install this; allows the game code to be patched easily using .json files. Nearly everything uses this as a prerequisite these days.
- [DaisyNiko's Tilesheets](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4736)
a requirement for many custom maps.
- [Esca's Modding Plugins](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9296)
mostly a tool for modders, but also allows players to place mini-fridges and beds anywhere and allow yourself to pass out from staying up too late without receiving any fines.
- [Event Repeater](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3642)
often an unlisted requirement for mods that alter events.
- [Extra Animal Config](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/25328)
a framework allowing mods to allow for animals that can be sheared and also milked, and changing custom animals' diets (this is a requirement for [Chicken Feed](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/26443))
- [Farm Type Manager](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3231)
allows modders to set custom spawnable items in any location, not just the farm!
- [Fashion Sense](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9969)
if you remember Kisekae or Get Dressed from back in the day (pre-1.5), this is the modern successor. allows for installable packs containing nearly any kind of wearable (hats, sleeves, shirts, bottoms, shoes, etc.).
- [Furniture Framework](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/23458)
a framework allowing modders to make furniture with custom descriptions, sizes, collisions, rotations, layers, seats, table slots, etc.
- [Generic Mod Configuration Menu](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5098)
an in-game UI that allows for the edit of compatible mods on the fly.
- [GMCM Options](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10505)
allows for more complex options to be available within generic mod configuration menu.
- [HxW Tilesheets](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20139)
a requirement for many of the maps by Wildflour.
- [Lumisteria Tilesheets Indoor](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9599)
another commonly required tileset for modded maps; this one is for indoors.
- [Lumisteria Tilesheets Outdoor](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10448)
same as above but for outdoor maps.
- [Mail Framework Mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1536)
allows modders to send custom mail to the player
- [SpaceCore](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1348)
a framework for modders enabling more npc interactions, adding colored lights, new tile/touch/trigger actions, custom event commands, and more.
- [Unlockable Bundles](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/17265)
allows modders to add their own custom bundles.
### immersion
- [Chicken Feed](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/26443)
a complete rework of how chickens are fed, they now eat chicken feed, which is craftable or purchaseable from marnie (since birds don't eat hay).
- [Fall 28 Snow Day](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/486)
makes it snow on the last day of fall, explaining why on winter 1 it is always covered in snow. x3
- [Folk Music Pack](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/17877)
a really nice music pack of folk instrument covers of stardew valley game songs.
- [Golden Hour](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/26426)
changes the window lighting indoors throughout the day
- [Pregnancy & Birth Events](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6578)
when applicable, enables either the player or their partner to have an event/cutscene in which they find out they're pregnant and another for the birth of their child (the way this is handled in vanilla is weird imo so this is a minor immersion fix). The author has plans to add in adoption events as well.
- [Romantic Love Letters](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/15497)
adds more in-depth letters for each npc in town based on your friendship (or romantic involvement) with them.
### map changes
- [Aimon's More Lively Farm Cave](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/23190)
- [Aimon's More Lively Sewer Overhaul](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/19405)
- [Comfortable Slime Hutch](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20430)
- [Cozy Hut House](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7872)
- [Cute and Tidy Coops & Barns](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/21563)
- [Ginger Island Beach House](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10341)
- [Lnh's Stardew Shed](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/17883)
- [Sea Breeze Cellar](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/26340)
- [Sea Breeze Farmhouse](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/13752)
- [Wildflour's Romantic Garden Farm Map](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20974)
- [Wildflour's Witchy Greenhouse](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/15536)
### added content
- [Lumisteria's Serene Meadow](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20598)
This adds crops & giant crops, a tree, and some new gift lines (for when you gift the items from this mod to npcs). It integrates with Visit Mount Vapius, and it features mostly flowers - what's not to love?
- [Lnh's Community Center Expanded](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/17381)
This adds some post-finishing the vanilla community center bundles and expands the community center further to include a greenhouse and some other rooms. There are custom rewards for the added bundles as well! Not compatible with a Joja playthrough.
- [Quaint Living - Artisan Goods](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/24808)
Adds a bunch of artisan goods you can make from the Flower Garden 2 items: candied flowers, extracts, floral wine, and bouquets. There's versions for each added flower and adds npc gift tastes as well!
- [Quaint Living - Flower Garden 2](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/16999)
Adds about 18 crops (all flowers) and 4 flower trees to the game. It's a remake of the modder's previous Flower Garden mod for Stardew 1.6.
- [Visit Mount Vapius](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9600)
As a rule I am not super fond of mods adding new areas to the game, since there are usually a ton of dependencies, but I already follow Lumisteria, the author of this mod, pretty closely, and the dependency list isn't too convoluted (and requires a lot of dependencies I already use). The story/characters from this area in interests me. This adds not only an entirely new area to explore with NPCs and all, there's a forest, it has its own bundles to complete, there's new constructed items, recipes, forage, and even special orders! I'm really enjoying it so far, so it's the one area-extension mod I recommend currently. It even has its own warp totem!
#### [Wildflour](https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Wildflourmods/)
Wildflour is a very prolific Stardew Valley Modder who has an entire suite of mods she's released that I *very* much enjoy playing with. I had begun to lose interest in Stardew but her sudden arrival on the scene beginning in 2022 or so really rekindled my interest in the game! Her mods are heavily inspired by the [Atelier](https://atelier.wiki.gg/wiki/Atelier_Wiki) series of games and feature witchy/alchemy-themed items and concoctions and add a lot of foraging and hidden areas to the game. If I were to recommend one modder to you ever it'd be her. These are her mods I'm using in my current playthrough!
- [Atelier Bundles - Boutique Edition](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/23344)
this alters the community center bundles to require items from Wildflour's Atelier Goods - Cosmetologist and Florist. I don't super love the cosmetologist stuff, so I may edit this myself to include some stuff from gourmand instead, but right now I am too lazy... >w<
- [Atelier Goods - Barista (cold)](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/22731)
