📋 About This Mod

12/9/2020

THIS MOD IS OUTDATED AND NO LONGER BEING SUPPORTED.

I give permission to anyone that wants to use/alter my modified sprites.

This adds Stardew Valley Expanded NPC's (created by FlashShifter ) to the It's Time to Adventure (NPC Adventures) mod (created by PurrplingCat).

Each NPC was given unique companion dialogue and combat phrases, although the dialogue is very much a WIP and will be expanded upon. I tried to stick to each of their characters and archetypes, but this dialogue was not created by FlashShifter and may not be considered cannon. I also created some new sprites for Andy, Marlon, Olivia, and Susan so that each character would have more than 1 idle animation.

Keep in mind this is a content pack for a mod that is still in BETA.

This uses the sprites from my Slightly Cuter Sprites for Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE) mod.
