📋 About This Mod
Merry Winter Star, everyone!
This mod is a pack of unique dialogues for the characters of Ridgeside Village for giving and receiving gifts at the Winter Star, if they are eligible to do so!
This includes 44 villagers so it would be probably a bit much to list all of them, but 40 baseline villagers along with Bryle, Zayne, Jio, and Daia (who are all not normally eligible) are given new dialogue in this particular expansion. If you believe a character is missing, let me know - however, Winter Star exclusions are unlikely to change without a relevant update from RSV. (Of note, Kiwi and Torts are not a part of this list for lore reasons, so they cannot give you a gift at the Star.)
But enough early descriptions. What actually changes?
GIFTING VILLAGERS GIFTS
As with Unique Winter Star, due to the probability of an override dialogue from other modpacks (or the mod itself!) specifying particular gift reactions and the fact that the key is meant to respond to any gift, dialogue changes are generally small to gifting RSV villagers gifts - mainly, most changes will approximate the villager's personality, with some dynamic tweaks dependent on where you are in their story arc. If you're interested in which dialogues are dynamic, there's a spoiler list below.

[]Ezekiel, Maive, Aguar, and Louie will all have a frosty reception for your gift unless you have 6 hearts or more with them, at which point they'll defrost significantly (at least in terms of attitude toward you - don't expect Louie to suddenly turn nice, even at the Winter Star!)

]Shiro will have a minor dialogue alteration if he is 6 hearts or higher.[]Kiarra will be very unhappy to see you if you went the Joja route, in line with her refusal to marry the player if they went the Joja route. It won't modify your friendship with her any more than usual, but she'll be bummed her gifter was you.
[]Maddie will be unenthused to see you unless you've gained 6+ hearts with her, at which point her response will be significantly warmer to the player.
[]Dating Villagers have their own dialogue variants!
[]Married Villagers have their own dialogue variants!
- If relevant (e.g. the character exists in the Platonic Partners and Friendships beta for Ridgeside), there will be friend and housemate variants for the characters as well, if enabled from the config. As the Platonic Ridgeside beta is not fully updated for 1. 6 yet, the lines will not automatically be applied, and must be specified as platonic from the config.RECEIVING GIFTS FROM VILLAGERS
Like Unique Winter Star, each villager will have a specific reaction to being your gifter. RSV characters actually do have some gifts specific t
