Want to change the look of artisan good and animal products to be a little more realistic and toned down? Look no further!
Better Artisan Good's goal is to change the look of all artisan goods and animal products to be more realistic, and thus a little more toned down in color. It should be a little more pleasant on the eyes overall, and goes great with any other toned down map recolors you might be using. All you need is SMAPI and Content Patcher to make things work!
Download Instructions:
1.) Make sure you have both SMAPI and Content Patcher downloaded and ready.
2.) Download this mod from Nexus.
3.) Drag and drop the unzipped file to your mod folder, and presto!
4.) Load up Stardew and enjoy!
5.) Config file will be created upon first loading the mod. Switch any items to 'false' if you would like to avoid using them.
