📋 About This Mod

This mod adds a new sheriff's office to Stardew Valley, one which has been closed down for some time but will soon welcome the return of a former Pelican Town resident, and his new deputy. By building trust with the new sheriff's office residents and completing tasks, the farmer will finally be able to put the criminals of Stardew Valley behind bars where they belong! With the current release, potential jail candidates include:

  • []

    Pierre

    ]

    []

    Lewis

    [/]

    []

    Clint

    [/]

    []

    Pam

    [/]

    []

    Morris

    [/]

    []

    [/]

    Have a soft spot for Pam? Think Lewis gets a bad rap? Don't hate Pierre for some reason? All jailable characters can be individually configured in the options to turn off their arrest events. And if you throw someone in jail and feel bad about it later, a new shrine in the Witch's Hut can help the prisoners escape justice. Use of "Generic Mod Config Menu" is recommended for managing configuration options.

    Important: New farmers will initially encounter the sheriff's office as a run-down, abandoned building. This building will become unlocked and inhabited during the first year, after the Summer Luau event. The delay before the building is opened can be modified in the configuration file.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check the mod page for any required frameworks like SMAPI or Content Patcher, as the description is incomplete.
