Hello everyone! I really appreciate all the love and support for this mod!
I made these 6 years oago as of writting this update and I currently have no intention of updating it anymore due to time constrains/ not being able to convert the files anymore. As much as I would love to continue working on these, I draw and pixel them from scratch and they take up a lot of time!
Previously I did this for myself and simply decided to share them.
I do not have the resources to fix any issues currently so the files are as they are.
If enough people are interested, I might return to update them in the future, who knows!
You can follow me @ Bunnixhime on other social media sites :)

Looking forward to updating the last few characters and marriage candidates in my style.
But at least the whole main village is anime now. Haha

Villagers Anime Portrait is a portrait mod for Stardew Valley that replaces the default character portraits with original anime-style artwork created by Bunnerz (bunnihime). With over 10,000 endorsements and 339,000 downloads, it's a popular choice for players who want a fresh, anime-inspired look for the villagers. Last updated in 2017, it remains a classic cosmetic overhaul.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust – 10k endorsements and 339k downloads show it's a go-to portrait mod.
- Original art, not just a filter – Bunnerz drew these from scratch, so it stands out from generic edits.
- One-and-done install – drop it in and your villagers get a full anime makeover.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017 – may not be compatible with the latest Stardew Valley updates or other portrait mods.
- Anime style isn't for everyone – if you prefer vanilla or realistic portraits, this will clash.
- Only covers portraits, not sprites – your in-game characters will still look vanilla, which can be jarring.
For Stardew Valley players who want a cute, anime-inspired look for the villagers without overhauling the whole game. If you're into Japanese art styles and don't mind a bit of inconsistency between portraits and sprites, this is a solid pick. Skip if you want a cohesive visual overhaul or prefer keeping the original art style.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest version of SMAPI installed, as most portrait mods require it to load properly.
- If you're using other portrait mods, load order matters – place this one last to ensure it takes priority.
- Back up your original portraits folder before replacing, so you can revert if you don't like the anime look.
