📋 About This Mod

Ripley is, in every sense of the word, Larger-Than-Life. Sunflowers turn to face her wherever she goes. She's easy conversation, her laugh takes over a room, her shoulder's always available, should you need it.

She's always around. In fact, if you stop to think about it, it's a little odd. Does she ever take time for herself? Does she even need it?

DISCLAIMER: Ripley is romanceable, but is NOT able to be married, and will not move in with the farmer if given the Mermaid Pendant. This is intentional and an important part of her storyline. She has custom dialogue for this, and the relationship can still progress past 10 Hearts without a wedding.

This means she is INCOMPATIBLE with any Polyamory mod, especially PolyamorySweet. Dating her while married to another NPC should be fine, but proposing to her with any item created by alternative romance mods will Break Her Brain!

Gift Tastes:

Loved: Fried mushroom, rhubarb pie, chanterelle, morel, purple mushroom, fiddlehead fern

Liked: Common mushroom, hazelnut, blackberry, red mushroom, maple syrup, snail

Disliked: Coleslaw, glazed yams

Hated: Default hated items

Birthday: Spring 17
