Compatibilities

Compatible with Stardew Valley Expanded.

If SVE is installed, Douglas will follow a schedule similar to Morgan's, exploring the maps added or expanded by SVE. All rooms and other content are fully compatible with SVE.

Compatible with East Scarp

Compatible with Diverse Stardew Valley

Now compatible thanks to AirynS!

A little compatibility to avoid issues like NPCs staying in the same place

Compatible with Little Red School.

If the Little Red School House mod is installed and the necessary events are seen, children will now use the school instead of the library. This is a great feature that allows for easier compatibility with bigger mods like Rsv, so I highly recommend the Little Red School House mod.

Compatible with The Farmer's Children

A little compatibility to avoid issues like NPCs staying in the same place

Compatible with Less Ugly Town Interiors

Now compatible thanks to AirynS! This mod changes the interiors in the town from the main game. This compatibility changes the interiors modified with this mod.

Compatible with Community Center Reimagined

"If you are using the Community Center Reimagined mod released by Lemurkat and children are using the Community Center instead of school, you should True. Not compatible with the SVE modified community center. Should remain False if you are using Town School." (Community Center should remain false until it is restored)

Compatible with DaisyNiko's Earthy Interiors
Compatible with Rustic Country Town
