📋 About This Mod

This mod is exactly what it says on the tin - a redux (continuation) of the mod Date Night for Stardew Valley 1. 6. 4+!

In case you need a refresher, this mod adds dates with your spouse that you can have after marriage. You can set a configurable chance of your spouse asking you out on a random, generic date (or in the case of Alex, Haley, Emily, and Maru, a spouse specific one!), which you can then attend at the specified time.

Since most information on Date Night is on its original page, this page may be a bit lighter on the details than the original page - you can either refer back to the original mod page or let me know that I should add something to the description. But for now, let's dive into the important information.

From a user facing perspective, not much! This is essentially (at present) a straight port of the original mod - several typos were corrected and a very select few (less than five, I believe) dialogues were altered. What this mod does for the user is fixes several bugs that are present in the current version of Date Night - a few inherent bugs in the Free Love version, the broken Alex and Haley dates at the bus stop due to the changes to the 1. 6 bus stop, fixes all kissing so you're not facing away from your spouse, a broken item in the Library date, wallpaper gifts, and more, and makes the config a little clearer by giving it sections, spaced out config titles, and more. It also drops the requirement for Event Repeater, so you'll have one less required mod for downloading (just SMAPI and Content Patcher now!)

Under the hood, however, the mod has been transformed - both out of preference and out of necessity. The mod is fully in i18n, lending it to easier translations and allowing much easier ways to program the dates - previously for Gendered and Gender Neutral dates the dates were completely in two separate folders, but with i18n I could compress them to a single "Dates" folder with gendered lines determined by tokens. Speaking of tokens, those were simplified and a few bugs were removed - the Library date, for example, would never trigger in winter due to be overridden by a later definition of it, and the Free Love date token would prevent you from ever going on dates if your current 'spouse' was a roommate. All of those were fixed and should now be working as expected. The Event Repeater dependency was replaced by a series of trigger actions firing on day end - if you've seen an event or obtained a mail flag, the trigger actions will fire and remove it from your seen list, allowing you to experience the date again. Finally, with Stardew Valley 1. 6. 4, a particular bug due to how the events were coded (in the original, your spouse was either the {{Spouse}} (original) or {{Date}} (Free Love) token, which meant that the display name would always render whatever the internal name is - so if your NPC was HatMouseLacey in the
