How to make a mod for this cute little game?

Hey I'm into programming and I want to modify Recettear. I know a bit of python but I'm not sure if that will help me lol. If this game was made with RPG maker that would make my life 1000 times easier. I could use the RPG maker character creator and make my own creation.

This game is a lot like Rune Factory 4 in which you can spend your whole life playing this game. But there is so much potential for this game as well.

I want to add a spiritual multiplayer to the game but not real time it's more like bidding on item of the day. There is a scoreboard to whom is the richest person. Real life incentives would be to get real life money. Housing and leasing seems interesting to develop for. Banking could be a cool addition. Adding demographics to the NPCs would be a nice change of pace and then you could market to those demographics. I also want to add a beach resort and retcon the story a bit to be revolved around digital currency. This game could also use more minigames.

If any of you could tell me what you would like the most out of a sequel, then let me know. I am studying computer science and feel like this is a good way to break into the game industry.

One thing I've always thought of is a stock market simulator.

your store needs competitors, her monopoly on the town is the evil in this game!

Anything extra is peachy, but I'd be happy even with more of the same. New shop, dialogue, items, goals, a more fleshed out competitor. I like the ideas you've listed.

1. Big Bash - Alouette's Story. She has an interesting story that unfolds throughout the game and postgame (no wanna spoiler), and it might be fun to play this sad tale. Sure, she's unlikable and foolish. But she's also got a few layers of depth that Recette doesn't have.

2. Eula's Shop - At the Day 41 mark, have her set up a shop instead of leaving, where you can buy any of her items (at the same price she would sell it to you in your own shop, you don't get better deals here, you just get the items you want without RNG of her offering it).

These are two options many would probably either like to see, or wouldn't find a bother.

You could also add Big Bash Events where based on some of your recent sales (or number of items in your inventory) the other store will cause Booms and Busts and Market Crashes.
