How To Install
-
[]Install the latest version of SMAPI.[/]
[]Unzip the mod folder into Stardew Valley/Mods.[/]
[]Run the game using SMAPI.
How To Use
To use just click on the TV as you normally would and select your channel. The dialogue action will still play when you interact with it as normal, but when it finishes the TV stays on for a bit of background aesthetic, looping to make it feel as if the TV is on for a cozy aesthetic.
Additionally when you go to sleep and wake up the channel is still playing and it is updated showing the icon that plays for tomorrows weather, or todays fortune. So at a glance you can get this information without needing to interact with it.
If you want to turn it off just walk up to it and right click to use it as normal and select (leave) or just your inventory button.
Settings
You don't need GMCM for this mod to work as there are only non-essential values for the config file 'Performance Mode', which was only added as good practice considering much lower end PC's, and EnableDebugLog for debugging. If you don't have GMCM you can still change the value between 'Compatibility', or 'Performance' via the config file. But in 99% of cases you shouldn't need to touch this.
Compatibility
I have made a huge attempt at compatibility focusing mainly on the following mods to ensure the logic works:
-
[]Weather Wonders[/]
[]Public Access TV[/]
[]Cloudy Skies[/]
[]Budget TV[/]
Any Custom Channel TV's are fully compatible if they use Custom TV, or if they use the standard game methods for TV channels.
If something seems off please let me know!
How To Remove
Simply remove the folder from within Stardew Valley/Mods. Safe to add or remove mid playthrough.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Popular with the community (205 endorsements, 55k downloads) — clearly hits the cozy vibe for many players.
- Simple, focused concept: no bloat, just a nice ambient touch for your in-game home.
- Recently updated (June 2025) — likely compatible with current game version.
⚠️ Cons

For players who love cozy, immersive details in their base — if you enjoy having a TV on in the background while you sort loot or plan your next move, this is for you. Skip if you want gameplay mechanics or visual overhauls; this is a tiny quality-of-life touch.
