📋 About This Mod
IMPORTANT UPDATE: As of RSV 2. 3, June is now an official part of Ridgeside Village itself! You do not need this mod for June to appear in the village. If you download the 2. 0 version of the mod on this page, the art for June will be replaced with the original art for his portraits and sprites. You can choose whether to replace just the portraits or sprites in the config options. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
========================================================================================================
June is a traveling pianist who starts working at the Log Cabin Hotel after the farmer moves to the valley. He's very polite, but he also seems very private... Combined with the fact that he's only there for half the year, will you be able to put in the time to see who he really is?
Hello! I'm very happy to introduce my first custom NPC mod. June is a new marriage candidate who lives in Ridgeside Village, an expansion area created by Rafseazz. He's inspired by Mikhail from Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns - Mikhail is a violinist who is only in town for fall and winter; June is a pianist who is only in town during fall and winter. If you marry him, he will live with you year-round.
(Note: I'm currently on the dev team for Ridgeside, but I made this mod back before I joined the team. I'm currently working on both mods, and I make sure to update June at the same time as every RSV update.)
You must have Ridgeside Village and all its dependencies installed to use this mod. If you don't, your game might crash. Also, this mod has specifically been designed for RSV's recent 2. 0 update, so please make sure you have the latest version. June is also compatible with Miss Coriel's Unique Courtship Response mod.
There are three versions of this file: "some music", "full music", and a "no music" version that are all listed under the main files section. You only need to download ONE of these files: if you have multiple in your mods folder, SMAPI will not run either of them. Similarly, if you are switching from one version to another, be sure to delete the version you no longer want. Personally, I recommend the one of the versions with music for an immerisve experience, but it's worth noting that the "full music" version is significantly large for a mod because of the six music tracks it contains. This is why I think the "some music" version is ideal - it has only one music track so that it takes up minimal memory while still allowing you to hear music in the lobby. If you're worried about game lag or memory space or anything else, the no music version is much smaller and still has every bit of June that the main mod does. For more details on what this music contains, see the custom music section below. (Also, please note that even the no music version still contains an SAAT aspect - this is to add in o
