📋 About This Mod
Welcome to the Linus Narrative Overhaul! 2. 0 out now!
You asked, you voted, and now here is the Linus Narrative Overhaul!
Linus is truly one with nature, and full of wisdom to impart on those who wish to know it.
In this Narrative Overhaul, I've designed Linus to have an engaging relationship, if you're willing to put in the time.
With dialogues for every day of every season and every heart level, you'll have a reason to talk to Linus!
1. 3 And Beyond
With 1. 3, the way .xnb files are found has been changed! In order to use my mods, you must
use the versatile and friendly Content Patcher.
How to install Content Patcher and the Mods:
-
[]Install the latest version of SMAPI.
[
]Download Content Patcher[]Unzip the contents of Content Patcher into Stardew Valley/Mods.
[]Install any content packs (Narrative Overhauls) you want by unzipping them into Stardew Valley/Mods.
- Run the game using SMAPI.
A bit more complicated versus what it was before, but at least it will be possible!
For the Content Patcher version of this mod, download the 1. 3 Multiplayer Patch Version of this mod!
(The latest versions of the mod files, uploaded 6/6/18, are the official versions, with the most up to date patches.)

VALLEY. See the "1. 3 and Beyond" section above if you have the most
recent patch (1. 3 Multiplayer)
