📋 About This Mod
This mod is a replacement for my Sound Effect Replacement mod that provides much more flexibility over sound effect and music replacement in Stardew Valley.
An example of a mod using this framework (actually the reason this framework came into existence) is Softer Snow Footstep Sound.
Basic Usage
To use this mod, you will need to create a Content Patcher mod that targets this mod's dictionary.
Cue Paths
A simple content.json file is something like this:
"Format": "1. 23. 0",
"Changes": [
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "aedenthorn. SoundTweaker/dictionary",
"Entries": {
"snowyStep": {
"sounds": [
"cuePaths": [
This simply replaces the snowyStep sound with the thudStep sound, preserving all parameters of the thudStep sound.
The following page has the names of all the sound cues in the game:

File Paths
Instead of cuePaths, you can direct the mod to play your own list of sound files using filePaths, e.g.:
"Format": "1. 23. 0",
"Changes": [
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "aedenthorn. SoundTweaker/dictionary",
"Entries": {
"snowyStep": {
"sounds": [
"filePaths": [
"{{InternalAssetKey: sounds/Snowystep_Soft_01.wav}}",
"{{InternalAssetKey: sounds/Snowystep_Soft_02.wav}}",
"{{InternalAssetKey: sounds/Snowystep_Soft_03.wav}}"
These files have to be placed your Content Patcher mod's folder. The sound files above should be in a sounds subfolder.
This method does not automatically preserve any sound parameters (in this case, the snowyStep sound's random pitch). You must add your own sound parameters, as explained below.
Sound Indexes
Finally, you can target specific sound indexes in the sound bank using sound
