We all need to relax sometimes, and for some of us, that means indulging in cute farming simulators. The internet's favourite of these games is Stardew Valley, which was handed down to us from on high by Eric Barone, AKA ConcernedApe, in 2016.
Stardew Valley is an adorable, pixelated life sim in which you have inherited your grandfather's homestead just outside of the idyllic village of Pelican Town. When you arrive, you discover that you have a whole farm to run, and a whole village of quirky, loveable characters to get to know, befriend, and even marry.
While the game is available for pretty much everything under the sun - PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, and several PC operating systems - hardcore fans of the game will argue that playing the game on a PC is the most rewarding. That's because Stardew Valley has a huge community of modders behind it who work tirelessly to add content, quality of life improvements, and aesthetics to the game. Even though it lacks an official Steam Workshop, Stardew Valley has thousands of mods available - if you've ever wanted something for the game, chances are there's a mod that can give it to you.
But that huge selection of mods presents a problem - which ones are worth the effort of installing? Today, we're here to help you pick out mods to add content to the game - these mods add new areas, new recipes, and even new character interactions. How to Install Mods in Stardew Valley? If you're unfamiliar with modding PC games, then Stardew Valley is actually a pretty good place to start. The community makes it really easy to download and install your mods with a few simple pieces of software.
Almost all of the mods available for Stardew Valley are hosted on Nexus Mods, so that's the website we're going to reference throughout this article. If you're getting your mods from another website, you should check their download instructions before implementing your mods.
