📋 About This Mod
Need help finding items for the Community Center bundles, but don't want to look it up online every time? This mod adds suggestions of where to find items when you hover over/highlight them in the bundle menu!
Suggestions are generally tailored to your progress in the game. For example, if an item requires an unlearned cooking recipe, it will tell you how to get the recipe; otherwise, it will tell you the ingredients. It tries to make it clear when there are requirements (such as skill levels) that must be met before the item can be obtained.
Most item sources are included, but not every possible one - I prioritized the easiest and most reliable ways to get each item. This notably excludes things like the Traveling Cart, which can randomly provide many of the items required for bundles, but cannot be relied upon. I also don't account for bundle rewards, since they're one-time and are often changed by mods.
Additionally, as of version 1. 6. 0, you can choose to show hints for items in the Collections tab as well, which can help with filling in your Collection or finding more of a particular item. Note that only items from the base game Collections tab are guaranteed to be supported, as supporting every mod item that could be there is infeasible.
