📋 About This Mod



Another add-on of my Fancy Grub series which simply retextures cooked dishes, this one is made for the cooked dishes from FlashShifter's Stardew Valley Expanded. I wanted to make something that fit along with Tai's Vanilla Tweaks mods or DSHi's Retexture mods but I didn't want to make something that just copied their style, so I tried my best to create something that could work alongside their work.



This mod, like my others, is completely configurable. Anything you don't like or want, you can simply disable.



1. Install SMAPI

2. Install Content Patcher and Stardew Valley Expanded.

3. Install Generic Mod Config Menu for easy configurations

4. Download the main .zip file from this mod and install it

5. When starting the game for the first time since installing, use Generic Mod Config Menu to configure the mod to your liking

You're all done and ready to play
