📋 About This Mod

This is the CHALLENGING VERSION of this mod. If you're looking for vanilla style bundles, you can find them here:

Custom Community Center Bundles

This overhaul attempts to create a challenging but not frustrating experience fulfilling the community center bundles while also providing more variety to these.

Included are special rewards for fulfilling the bundles and even bundle variants for the remixed bundle versions! 'Challenging' is interpreted as needing crops/fruits/artisan products only available after year 2 or later, utilizing more artisan machines, the necessity for buying and saving products for cooking recipes or trying your luck in the mines.

Maybe you should save some of these precious artifacts you discover around town, too~
