✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community trust — 42,858 endorsements and 1.7M downloads prove it's a must-have for UI tweakers.
- Simple, clean addition: no clutter, just the info you need to see how close you are to leveling.
- Actively updated (October 2025), so it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is bare-bones — no screenshots or detailed feature list, so you're flying blind on visuals.
- No mention of compatibility with other UI mods, which could cause overlap or conflicts.
- Requires SMAPI (likely, but not stated) — if you're new to modding, you'll need to set that up first.
For Stardew Valley players who want to track skill progression without opening the menu constantly. If you're a completionist aiming for max level in every skill, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you prefer a minimalist UI or don't care about leveling progress.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a Stardew Valley mod, make sure you have SMAPI installed and launch the game through it.
- If you use other UI mods, test them together to ensure no overlapping elements.
- Check the mod's page for any optional config files to adjust bar position or appearance.
