📋 About This Mod
Config options for NPC Map Locations to hide NPCs when unmet or based on heart level.
This is a small configuration add-on for the NPC Map Locations mod in Stardew Valley, letting players hide NPCs from the map until they meet them or reach a certain heart level. With 766 endorsements and over 21,000 downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life tweak for players who want to reduce map clutter and preserve discovery. Last updated in April 2023, it remains a stable option for those using the base mod.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 766 endorsements and over 21,000 downloads—clearly a go-to for many players.
- Solves a real annoyance: map clutter from NPCs you haven't even met yet.
- Simple config tweak that doesn't alter gameplay, just the map UI.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the base NPC Map Locations mod—won't work standalone.
- No detailed instructions in the description, so you'll need to know how to edit config files.
- Last updated in April 2023—might not be updated for future game versions, though it's likely still functional.
For Stardew Valley players who use NPC Map Locations and want a cleaner map experience, especially those who enjoy the discovery aspect of meeting new characters. Skip if you're fine with seeing all NPCs from day one or don't use the base mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the base NPC Map Locations mod installed and working before adding this config.
- After installing, launch the game once to generate the config file, then edit it with a text editor to set your preferred heart levels.
- If you're using a mod manager like SMAPI, place the mod folder in your Mods directory and ensure SMAPI is up to date.
