Hat Mouse Lacey - NPC

Hat Mouse Lacey

Introducing Lacey, a new take on the hat mouse in Cindersap Forest. She's a newcomer to the valley, just like you, and recently bought and renovated the abandoned cabin. She's eager to open her new business making and selling hats!

She's cheerful and polite, but somewhat introverted, so she often keeps to herself. She is passionate about hats, and full of opinions about them. She loves good food and therefore admires Gus. Autumn is her favorite time of year, and she likes to spend time outside. But, sometimes it's hard being the only four-foot talking mouse.

Unlike the vanilla hat mouse (a map sprite), Lacey is a full-fledged friendable NPC with plenty of dialogue — including unique commentary on every vanilla hat and some modded ones — and a full set of heart events. She is also eligible for marriage; almost no one will comment on that, because it's not weird unless you make it weird.

If this is your first time playing with Lacey, I recommend a new save for the best experience, since she has some Year 1 dialogue.

I also recommend not snooping around in the mod files, since you may find spoilers in there, and I think it's fun to discover things and be surprised. Of course, if you like spoilers, be my guest; I can't stop you.

Also available on GitHub: releases, source code, and a (spoiler-filled!) help file.
