📋 About This Mod
Diverse Stardew Valley Additional Packs - Romanceables
These individual character packs adapt various other character designs to Diverse Stardew Valley's seasonal and festival outfits, as well as enabling full compatibility with DSV's additional options, dialogue, and content. This page contains additional character packs for the vanilla marriage candidates - for character packs involving non-romanceable characters, see Diverse Stardew Valley Additional Packs - Townspeople.
Each additional character pack requires Content Patcher and the SMAPI modding framework; if you have not installed SMAPI before, see the Stardew Valley Wiki's guide for instructions. They also require Diverse Stardew Valley - Seasonal Outfits. Most character packs based on an existing individual character mod also require the original mod to be installed; these will be noted in the Features descriptions.
Each character pack can be used individually without requiring any other character pack.
To use a character pack, you will need to select the add-on pack in the corresponding character variant config in Diverse Stardew Valley's configuration options, then save your config and reload the game once.
The easiest way to do this is with the Generic Mod Config Menu (GMCM) mod. GMCM adds a small cog-shaped button to the lower-left corner of the Stardew Valley title screen, which allows you to edit config options in-game via an easy-to-use interface with either check boxes or scrollable drop-down menus. Once GMCM is downloaded and installed, DSV will automatically detect it and become available for configuration from the title screen.
The majority of character packs can make use of DSV's configuration options, e.g. if PennyFreckles is enabled in DSV, Brunette Penny will also have freckles. For more information and detailed explanations of DSV's configuration options, see the Diverse Stardew Valley website. DSV's dialogue and other content is also compatible depending on whether it is appropriate for the character pack, e.g. Native Leah's dialogue will also apply if using Butch Native Leah, but not if using Ashbrass's Leah.
Several character packs have additional options that are not available through DSV's standard options. These can be found in the Additional Packs section of DSV's configuration page.
Unless otherwise noted, all additional character packs are also compatible with any mods that Diverse Stardew Valley is compatible with (as of DSV 5. 0. 4).
