📋 About This Mod

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So... I love the Ridgeside Village mod. Just Keahi and his little post about wanting a bomb alone guaranteed that mod's permanent placement on my mod list.

But it definitely isn't perfect.

My main qualm is that once you get enough Hearts with the villagers, the same 7 lines of dialogue get repeated over and over again. And some of them can become really annoying the more you see them, like the "Ian getting through the Table of Contents" dialogue line. It's only alleviated a bit if you romance one of the mod's NPCs, but only for a short while till you get to 10 Hearts and don't rush the marriage.

There's also the issue of the repetetive festival dialogue and Lorenzo+Anton not having an alternate Flower Dance dialogue when you romance Anton (despite Paula having one).

And, in my honest opinion, there are characters that don't feel very fleshed out compared to the others.

So I have now made my own mod to (gradually) remedy that!

Happy Valentines Day! <3

Huge thanks to Rafseazz and Mamaesh, as well as everyone else that worked on creating Ridgeside Village. You guys worked hard, and I really love your creation <3

This is, in no way, meant to be a dig at the creators of Ridgeside Village. They worked very hard to create such a vast mod, they put their heart into it since the very beginning, and I truly do love the experience despite it's flaws (because nothing in this world is perfect). My mod is what it is, because I want Ridgeside to be even better than it already is.
