📋 About This Mod

Marigold the Crop Fairy

Introducing Marigold! You've seen her flying around in the night growing your crops but did you know she has a mushroom house in the woods? Find Marigold and all her friends (the butterflies and the frogs) out in the woods.

She has a full story line which progresses as you befriend her, with her dialogue and schedule updating as you get closer to her.

All dialogue was written by myself, the sprites and assets are a combination of ones already in game, Jazzybee's character creator and ones I've made myself.

For an alternative sprite, creamberrychan has made one here

Gift Guide

Loved Gifts - Honey, Fairy Rose, Mead, Pink Cake, Ice cream, sweet gem berry

Liked Gifts - Flowers, Fruits, Sugar, Syrup

How to find her

I've tried to make it so you can easily and organically stumble upon her, but if you're having trouble you can see the spoiler here.

There's a path leading to her house just above Master Cannoli's statue in the deep woods.

Future Updates

I made this mod for the Stardew Valley mod fest, but I want to expand her and deepen her story in meaningful ways, if you have suggestions of things you'd love to see in the mod, please add a comment and I'll endeavour to add anything that fits her story and is possible within the game.

My immediate priority is fixing bugs and other mod conflicts, so please let me know ASAP if you experience any issues.

Current plans:

  • []Seasonal outfits[/]

    []More post marriage schedule changes[/]

    []Add her to festivals after her 6 heart event[/]

    []More dialogue[/]

    []More schedule diversity[/]

    Mod Compatibility:

    CJB Cheats - I've added a warp to Marigolds house for testing purposes. It's currently disabled. To enable go to content.json, and uncomment lines 127-139(Remove the // at the beginning of each line)

    Stardew Valley Expanded - The mod has compatibility with Stardew Valley Expanded. I've updated her schedule, wood event and entrance locations when you have the mod installed, any issues please let me know!
