Dear Chinese players:
We've received a lot of feedback about the changes made in Stardew Valley version 1.6.4.
Therefore, we decided to revert the translation changes and fonts to version 1.6.3. (The smooth font will still be an option). This change will be made in the coming days.
In the future, we will take a more cautious approach to translation modifications and pay more attention to community feedback. I apologize for any confusion or stress this has caused. Thank you for playing and supporting Stardew Valley.
