📋 About This Mod
This is a fork of Don't Enable Pam (CP) by Jonqora and is fully compatible with Stardew Valley 1. 6. 4+ and Content Patcher 2. 0. 0+.
Pam will still mention pale ale, but says that Penny is trying to get her to drink more juice instead. Pam asks the farmer to bring her some; the quest will be completed with the usual rewards when you deliver the juice to Pam (any type).
This mod works on all new and existing saves, even if you've already received the original quest, deleted the original quest, or completed it! If you already received the original quest version at some point, this mod will replace it by delivering a new quest letter to your mailbox. Opening the mail will add the updated version to your quest log.
If you haven't yet opened your original quest letter, this mod will change its contents to give you the new quest version from the start.
COMPATIBILITY
-
[]Stardew Valley 1. 6. 4 or later[/]
[]Content Patcher 2. 0. 0 or later[/]
If you have not yet read the original quest letter before using this mod, you will get the new version of the letter and quest as soon as you read it. If you have already read the original quest letter, playing a savefile with this mod installed will remove the old quest from your quest log (if it is still there) and immediately add new quest mail to your mailbox. Reading the letter will add the new version of the quest to your log.
