📋 About This Mod
Welcome to Back to the Valley!
This mod is an overhaul of my previous mod, To the Valley.
Back to the Valley features 12 songs that replace the existing exploration music over the various seasons with Custom Music!
All music was composed and recorded faithfully in the style of the Stardew Valley OST using the same samples and plugins.

All music is free to use for modders and content creators!
It can be difficult to find music for mods, especially if you're making custom areas for the game. That's why I'm making all music available for your projects to help make your worlds feel more alive.
You can download high quality .wav files of all the music here!
My music is available to stream on Spotify
You can stream the music from To the Valley, Back to the Valley, as well as all my other mods on Spotify.
All revenue goes directly to the NAACP. I do not make a profit from any of this, I just enjoy writing music and making mods.
Follow me on Twitter to keep up with my music (and my shenanigans)
Back to the Valley is a Stardew Valley audio mod that adds 12 original, lore-friendly music tracks via Custom Music. Each season gets three songs that play while exploring Pelican Town, recorded with the same samples for consistency. With 242 endorsements and 9,568 downloads, it's a modestly popular choice for players seeking fresh but fitting tunes.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lore-friendly tracks that fit the game's vibe without breaking immersion
- Decent community traction with 242 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads
- Seasonal variety keeps the soundtrack fresh as you play through the year
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the Custom Music mod, so it's not a standalone drop-in
- Only affects Pelican Town, so other areas keep the original music
- Last updated in 2022, so it may not be tested with the latest Stardew Valley patches
For Stardew Valley players who've heard the default soundtrack a thousand times and want a subtle change without modding the whole game. If you're a completionist who loves seasonal variety, this is a nice touch. Skip if you want music mods that cover the entire map or add non-lore-friendly tracks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Custom Music mod installed first, as this mod won't work without it.
- Use a mod manager like SMAPI's mod folder to keep things organized; just drop the mod folder into your Mods directory.
- If you're not hearing the new tracks, double-check that Custom Music is up to date and that the mod is enabled in your SMAPI console.
