📋 About This Mod
This is an example of what you can do with this mod. You can customize the quality and size. By taking a daily screenshot, eventually you'll have enough images to create a GIF that shows a time-lapse of your farm as you progress through the game!
-
[]One screenshot is automatically taken of your entire farm every day as soon as you leave your house.[/]
[]Easy to gather screenshots to create a GIF that shows how your farm changes over time! GIF makers can be found online, such as ezgif GIF maker. Here is an example.[/]
[]Customizable! Change any number of default settings based on your preferences. Examples:
[]What time of day to take screenshot.[/]
[]How often to take screenshot (e.g. daily, weekly, or monthly).[/]
[]Keyboard shortcut that takes screenshot when pressed (set to "None" by default).[/]
[]What weather conditions are allowed. It is common to allow all except rainy/stormy days, but default option allows all weather.[/]
[]Add multiple sets of rules (common example: 1 set for daily automatic screenshots, 1 for manual key-press screenshots).[/]
[]Compatible with the "Generic Mod Config Menu" mod, which adds an in-game UI for easily updating the config (no need to edit the JSON manually).[/]
[]Screenshots are sent to your StardewValley/Screenshots folder, with each save file getting its own "FarmName-Screenshots" folder. Screenshots between multiple save files will not get mixed up.[/]
[]Easily access the screenshots in-game by scrolling to the bottom of the "Options" tab in the menu and clicking the "Open Destination Folder" button.[/]
[]Keeps the screenshots in the correct order to make creating the GIF easier. This is achieved by naming each screenshot with a "year-season-day.png" numerical format. For example, on Year 1, Winter, Day 3, the screenshot would be named "01-04-03.png".[/]
[]Translations available for the following languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Chinese. Korean coming soon. All text will be translated if your in-game language is set to any of those listed.[/]
