Vanilla Tweaks is a massive texture pack, reimagining Stardew Valley's artwork into my funky and controversial artstyle. This collection is a gathering of my view and interpretation of your known items and some small features, giving them brand new cool visuals to enhance your gameplay, and add diversity to your walkthroughs!

Vanilla Tweaks - Aquarium Edition features Fishes, Beach Forage, Tackles and Baits, Trash, and Treasure sprites. For other packs, check the links at the bottom of the page!
