📋 About This Mod

NATURAL COLOR

UPDATE 9

Works with last update of Stardew Valley!

A HUGE thank you to all those who downloaded my mod and offered me the 3600 Endorsements, you give me the motivation to keep improving Natural Color!

DESCRIPTION

This mod changes the colors of the game to make them more natural. It uses a system that changes colors directly on the screen, which allows a HUGE compatibility with all mods and versions of Stardew Valley, it's simple I don't know any mod that is in conflict with it (except another ReShade).

The improvements are:

- The paths are less yellow

- Cherry trees are more pink

- Deeper blue water

- The night is darker

- More uniform contrast

- More vivid light

- And many other improvements...

And as a bonus a small Tilt-Shift and Chromatic Aberration effect to give a little depth!

INSTALLATION

1. Uninstall the old version of Natural Color if you already have it installed (Go to the "Options menu" and choose "Delete Natural Color").

2. Place the contents of "Natural Color.zip" in the root of the game (not in the Mods folder!):

- GOG: C:\GOG Games\Stardew Valley

- Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley

3. Start Stardew Valley with Natural Color by clicking on "Natural Color - Launcher", on first use, you will be asked for setting options, select the option " Install Natural Color" and follow the steps smoothly, once finished the game will start automatically and you should see the new colours on your game screen.

If there is no change, it means that the injection of Natural Color in Stardew Valley has failed, in this case you have to change the injection method by starting "Natural Color - Launcher", press , and Install Natural Color again.

INJECTION

The Stardew Valley 1. 5. 5 update and higher allows Natural Color to be injected automatically at game startup without having to start "Natural Color - Launcher" ! If you don't have this update, the old injection methods are still available for Stardew Valley 64 and 32 bits with " Install Natural Color" option.

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust – 12k endorsements and over half a million downloads show it's a go-to for many.
  • Simple concept: just changes colors to look more natural, so it's easy to understand what you're getting.
  • Last updated in March 2024, so it's still maintained and likely compatible with current Skyrim versions.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires ReShade to be installed separately, which adds an extra step for setup.
  • Since it's a ReShade preset, it may affect performance on lower-end systems, though the impact is usually minimal.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have ReShade installed and set up for Skyrim before adding this preset – the mod page doesn't provide instructions.
  • After installing, use the in-game ReShade menu to toggle the preset on and off to see the difference and adjust intensity if needed.
  • If you're using an ENB, this preset might conflict – test it with your ENB disabled first to see if they work together.
