RICH FARM SUCCESS AND PROGRESS

[Queen Droxxanna]

With such interest shown in Snowy's poverty run, and at his suggestion, I decide to create a discussion on my RICH FARM run, seeing how much could be accomplished during the early years of a LARGE and WEALTHY farm.

This wont be a day to day post, as I've already finished the first year, but rather on how and what I accomplished and all the mods that I found compatible, and some that didn't work.

To begin with, I spent a few months testing out over 100 mods, finding those I liked, and those that I didn't like, switching out ones that created errors or game crashing, and figuring which ones worked best together.
I finally had so many mods that my game wouldn't save due to memory shortage, and I at last was forced to switch to the new BETA versions of almost everything. This meant a lot more errors popping up, and I became well acquainted with the SMAPI PARS LOG, I have updated, and updated more time then I can count.

I must make very clear, I am NOT a coding expert and have no idea how to make mods myself, so its been a learn as I go progress.

Once I had tested out everything, and had almost everything working the way I wanted, I created a brand new farm on the largest map I could set up: SVE IMMERSIVE FARM REMASTERED.
My world map also includes: RIDGESIDE VALLEY, GRAMPLETON FIELDS, and DEEP WOODS, as well at the AQUARIUM mod. This gives me lots of room to explore.

For the farm house, I kept the original size, but added to the cellar with POOKACHUS CELLAR, which gives 4 large rooms to fill with casks how ever you like. For the outside looks, I went with ELLE'S SEASONAL BUIDINGS, which gives you a choice of several looks for all your buildings,, and you can customize each differently or make them all look the same. I painted all my farm buildings with the same color scheme.

I like a lot of ELLE'S mods, as they are well designed, uncluttered and compatible with just about every thing else.
Which is why I went with ELLIE'S SPACIOUS IDEAL GREENHOUSE, which not only increases your planting room X4, but has a second room dedicated to trees with room for 48 trees. AWESOME, fruit all year long. A great place to make full use of BONSTER'S TREES, FRUITS & VEGGIES.

To get around this big new farm/world of mine, I definitely needed the TRACTOR mod and ELLE'S NEW HORSES, so I could ride my UNICORN.

Well that's the basic layout to start the farm, but of course there are lots of smaller detail mods included, Will go into more later.
Feel free to ask if you have any questions about any of the mods I mention. I will also post lots of pictures so you can see the results.

I love Gweniaczek's medieval buildings and pretty much every mod they have created :> I also noticed they released a alternative texture mod which allows you to use different types (designs) of the same buildings at once on the farm which is great. And yes, I agree with your changes Soaring! Looks really good :D Olivia sure is missing out ;D Should have cooked you some eggies and bacon ^.^ lol

[Queen Droxxanna]

LOL, Yes and all my chickens lay large top quality eggs.

[ChrillBill]

And not to mention the pagan bunnies who leave eggies in the cave :>

I wonder if they stole them from Marnie o.o

well my pegan bunnies are not very active, I only get one egg a week. That mod needs some tweeking.

Magnus says he has a surprise for me and asks me to meet him on the beach/
Then he says he was disappointed that I proposed to him before he could propose to me.
And he has a gift he wants to give me.

Next thing I know he's dragging me down to the bottom of the Ocean.

That is so cool! I haven't played through that particular heart event, but I did find the assets for that area when I was doing some snooping in the folderas a while back :> This is why I like mods so much, the creativity and the end result is simply stunning

The only time I recall that happening in the vanilla game is when you take the submarine trip during the night market, and even then, it's not quite the same.

That's because that particular screenie is part of the Stardew Valley Expanded mod and the 14 heart event with the Wizard (he is a marriage candidate with that mod) :> The submarine trip during the night market is cool but you don't really get to see much down there. But it is where you catch those blobbies, one of my fav fish species in this game ^.^

[Queen Droxxanna]

yes, Magnus is spouse #13 for me, and I have him at 14 hearts. I thought it would be cool to share the picture. I have no idea what the 'gift' does, it seems to be useless, cant even wear it.

[ChrillBill]

Did you actually get something or was it just a trip to the bottom of the ocean? o.o

[Queen Droxxanna]

yes there is a small gift that you get.

FINALLY found a mod that allows me to build in Grampleton Fields. is a MORE GLASS mod, and gives a few different buildings.

I now have a nice little village with a greenhouse, a large pool, and some houses. The road thru Grampleton Field I have lined with all kinds of trees, and I added several different flowers and bee hives for more honey production.
I may add another large building for making jellies, juice and maybe wines from all the fruit trees.

[ChrillBill]

Those glass buildings are cool, I have seen them before but haven't used them yet :> Same with Grampleton Fields really. On my current playthrough I have three farms lol. The main one, the one on Ginger Island and also one up in Ridgeside Village :D

[Queen Droxxanna]

I have managed to open both the greenhouses in Ridgeside as well, and have planted extra fruit trees in the village, so I make my rounds there every few days to gather crops. Still more secrets in RV for me to figure out.

[ChrillBill]

Okay, hope I didn't spoil too much :> The additional greenhouses are nice, though I must admit I haven't put them to use :p RV has really become a great expansion mod. I have finished the "main" story so to speak, and it's actually quite good!
