      If a mod replaces sprites, my mod and optional add-ons will not be compatible. This is why I've included configuration options (config not currently supported for SVE add-on)

      Examples of incompatibilities include:

      • []Character replacements

        []Slightly Cuter Characters

        []Diverse Stardew Valley

        []Seasonal Outfits

        []And anything else that replaces sprites

      Over time, I intend to create more add-ons for expansions or sprite overhauls as I receive permission to do so. If you have requests, please let me know in the posts tab. Just know that I create these in my free time and don't have a ton of time to dedicate to these!

      • []Creator of Stardew Valley - ConcernedApe
