📋 About This Mod
This mod is a pack of unique dialogues for the characters of Stardew Valley Expanded for giving and receiving gifts at the Winter Star, if they are eligible to do so!
Of note is that this pack only adds unique dialogue for those who are able to give and receive gifts at the Winter Star. SVE only adds seven characters to the pool of gifters and giftees - specifically:
-
[]Marlon is excluded in vanilla by the Stardew Valley code, but SVE changes his internal name so that Marlon is able to give you a gift at the Winter Star.
[
]Andy[]Susan
[]Sophia
[]Claire (once you've seen her 6 heart event)
[]Victor
[]Olivia
If they are not part of the above list (and are SVE-specific), they cannot give you a gift at the Winter Star at any point in the game. If you believe a character is missed, let me know! However, Winter Star exclusions are unlikely to change until Stardew Valley Expanded updates.
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 specifying particular gift reactions and the fact that the key is meant to respond to any gift, dialogue changes are generally small to gifting SVE 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.
-
[]Andy will be neutral toward you until you've seen his 8 heart event, at which point he'll be more friendly and appreciative that you're his particular gift giver.
[]Sophia will be less enthused about interacting with you until you've completed part 2 of her 7 heart event, at which point she'll be far more lively when you are her gift giver in particular.
[]Datable villagers will be modified to show you are dating them, unless engaged. (If engaged, they will use the default or high hearts regular dialogue, since it would be nearly impossible to get them as your gift giver in the engagement timeframe.)
- Married villagers will similarly have dialogue specific to them being married!
RECEIVING GIFTS FROM VILLAGERS
Like Unique Winter Star, each villager will have a specific reaction to being your gifter. All SVE candidates use the same gift pool as most vanilla villagers (e.g. same gift pool as all villagers except children, Robin, Marnie, Evelyn, Clint, and Willy), so there are no dynamic changes based on the gift pool.
This portion also dynamically changes with many characters with story progression and heart levels (mainly the datable characters). I've tried to make sure almost every SVE villager has some dia

[]Andy will be neutral toward you until you've seen his 8 heart event, at which point he'll be more friendly and appreciative that you're his particular gift giver.
