Part of a Saloon Breakfast

This mod adds a series of five events to the Saloon to open the Saloon earlier in a lore-friendly way - by opening it up for breakfast! There are also a few supplementary events to account for scheduling issues, a Wizard sidequest, special orders with variable difficulty (you can make one incredibly hard, if you'd prefer!), schedules including extra marriage schedules designed to be vanilla friendly and incredibly customizable, and some useful rewards for finishing the events, with mod compatiblity designed for all of them.

Interested in any of these? Read on!

Sometime at or after the Winter of your first year in a Valley, Gus has found himself in a bit of a pickle.

By his own admission (in his Thursday vanilla dialogue at no hearts), Pam and Clint provide most of the business to the Saloon - with Shane most likely helping out with that in his early hearts. Without them, the Saloon would be in danger of going out of business. Outside of Fridays, they're some of his only regulars, and the ones keeping the Saloon afloat.

Yet as the player can see, Shane can seek help and stop drinking with help. Clint might eventually get over Emily (or not have any romantic intentions toward her at all). And Pam's already in financial trouble, so Gus can see the writing on the wall - without the alcohol sales, the Saloon's in trouble. So he's starting to plan for a future without the Saloon.

That's where you come in! In a series of five events and two special orders, one with customizable difficulty, you can help open the Saloon earlier and open a bustling breakfast business! And to take the pressure off Gus, once it opens in full, a few extra events can open up which can allow Gus to get some extra help running Stardrop Breakfast. Opening it up may also allow you to go on a date - or just hangout, if you have Platonic Partners and Friendships installed - with your spouse or housemate to the new offering!

In an optional sidequest you can enable as well, the magic of the Valley that allows you to keep resources without them rotting or spoiling is starting to decay. The Wizard (or Witch, if you have Rasmodia) needs your help to help the Junimo restore the protection of your resources before it's too late! (As a miniquest, it involves only two events and one special order, although it requires fairly difficult to get resources! Keep this in mind when going through this optional sidequest.)

That's it for the overview. If you'd like specifics, a mostly non-spoilery overview of the quests and their rewards are contained in the spoiler text below. Please do not enable the "serious" Event Dialogue configuration option without reading the sum up of the first event.
