📋 About This Mod
I used to hate the rain once, and then I married you... Now I long for storms.

Come spend awhile with the growing Cooper Family!
Meet your Daughter, a precocious young girl with a fierce spirit of adventure! Nurture your budding engineer in all
her scientific and mechanical pursuits! ... When she is not terrorizing her brother and daddy, that is.
Meet your Son, a quiet young man with a gentle disposition, and boundless compassion to offer the world. Even its
most small denizens. Nurture his poetic streak, and perhaps one day he'll feel comfortable enough to begin sharing
the deepest contents of his heart with his family too.
ARV Kids is a Little NPCs content pack that turns your toddlers into real, dynamic NPCs for you to experience!
Settle into married life alongside your children, and get to know their curious minds as they grow older alongside you.
This content pack includes years worth of randomized dialogue for your children, over 150+ new marriage dialogue
lines for Sterling, and plenty of fun things for you to discover with your little family, in hopes for adding some much
needed longevity to your playthroughs, post happily ever after with Sterling.
Major Expansions, ARV kids is compatible with all major expansions such as SVE, ES, RSV, DTZ, etc.
The Farmer's Children, is incompatible with ARV Kids, due to both mods having the same purpose of aging up your
children. Please remove ARV Kids if you wish to use Farmer's Children or vice versa. You may only have one of these
mods installed per playthrough.
Unique Children Talk & Immersive Family, for a detailed guide on how to play with both mods installed, read here.
I'd like to offer special thanks to Siliconmodding for his extensive help while working on ARV Kids. The Growing Valley
template is an excellent resource I strongly recommend! And Silicon braced through my endless questions and ridiculous
bugs and errors I encountered along the way. A genuine blessing to the modding community!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 451 endorsements and 37k downloads
- Adds a ton of personality to your kids—150+ lines is no joke
- Keeps the weather untouched, so no surprise rainstorms
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects children with Sterling—if you didn't marry him, this mod does nothing for you
- Last updated in June 2025—check if it's compatible with your current game version
For Stardew Valley players who married Sterling and want their kids to feel like actual characters, not just pixel sprites. If you're all about family roleplay and extra dialogue, this is a must-have. Skip if you didn't romance Sterling or if you're not into character-focused mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest version of SMAPI installed, as most dialogue mods require it.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, let it handle the file placement to avoid conflicts.
- Test the mod in a new save or after your kids are born to see the new dialogue immediately.
