I hope there will be mods for Story of Seasons: FoMT

[Aki]

Hi guys! I'm so excited for the Friends of Mineral Town remake to come out. I was originally going to buy the physical copy for the Switch, but since there's the possibility of mods coming out for the PC version, I bought it for Steam instead. It was a really tough decision to make since I prefer having physical copies of things, so I hope I don't regret it. :p

I was doing some reading around and there's a possibility there might not be mods because of this thing called "Denuvo". That's some sort of program to stop people from modding games, right? Never heard of it before until recently, but it makes me a little worried. (Edit: Actually, I was told it's to prevent piracy.)

If people are able to mod this game, I'd really like to see some portrait mods. To be honest, I always thought the noses on some of the characters like Brandon, Doctor, and Rick looked kind of weird. If modding can be done, I'd probably make slight adjustments to the portrait art myself to fit my preference!

What kind of mods are you guys hoping for (if mods will be a thing at all)? I know a lot of people miss rival events. I have no idea how modding events works, but it seems kind of difficult.

Wonder if they'll expand the game further. Imagine making a mountain path which links to Forget-Me-Not Valley and meeting characters from "A Wonderful Life" etc

That would be awesome! A Wonderful Life is one of my favorite games.

Aside from portrait and recolor mods, I'd really like to see a mod that lets your toddler grow. However, I'm not so sure if a mod like this would be possible to create. :c

A la Fable/Kynseed?

I've never played either of those. Had to search Kynseed and it sorta looks like Stardew Valley.

I bought Kynseed (because in my region it is very cheap), but have not played yet, so I find it difficult to talk about the similarities. This is a long project.

Well it looks like a really pretty to look at game. I think I'm actually going to take a closer look at this.

The description for Kynseed says that you can build a family, and when your character dies, you can play as your child. tbh I don't know how I feel about this. When I played A Wonderful Life, I would always restart the game as soon as my character started growing white hairs. ;_;

out of curriosity.. which exactly?

Cause I find most of them pretty good.. I dont like the harvest goddess and hate the karen one... karen looks like a moviestar planet avatar.. besides those two.. kinda top notch (on girls end).. popuru is unusual but i can see it - they are at very least as good as the old ones which were already great
Ann and the new girl got a huge upgrade (well.. the new one didnt exist so yea no comparison but she looks rly good) in my opinion

but i didnt look at all the male ones.. Kappa is 10/10 though

not to defend the artstyle overal.. its weird in some ways
But i'd like to know which are especially bad for you and are totaly unfitting

The files of Story of Season Doreamon were HEAVILY encrypted... there was no way to extract them onto unity..
It is highly likely the same will be with this game..

meaning... modding is barely possible if at all...
It will take months if not years to crack the encryption and make sth out of it

maybe cheatengine mods like in Darksouls are a possibility... adding new stuff etc.. is highly unlikely

While there have been attempts of modding Doraemon SoS... nothing came out of it.
Same with the harvest moon game.. though I gues that one would have been possible, just noone cared to invest long enough time into it.. as its not the real deal (still good, but way weaker)

Wasn't doraemon done by bandai namco and brownies, xseed is usually more open to mods as far as i know.

[nonamen]

There's denuvo anti-tamper (the drm) and denuvo anti-cheat (the cheat deterent) modding can be done on both except if the developers locked everything or did not allow for proper modding.

if it modable i hope someone would mods the graphics or some texture maybe

Though to be fair, the character art is done by the same artist who's done a lot of the series' art.

I just now checked out the H.G.'s new look.
It's definitely different, though I can go with that (I suppose the tube top was a bit shabby-looking for a goddess)

I suppose Karen does make more sense as she's nothing like she was in 64.
I guess Popuri's is more modernized now. (although, it does kinda look like Nina (from SNES), who was originally her grandmother)
I'm not a fan of Mary's new look (her old look was cuter), but I can easily live with it.

With Ann (well, I guess it's "Ran" now?) I can totally understand her new look. Her old outfit really did not look like it was for a waitress/innkeeper.
(Considering those overalls were from 64, where she was a ranch hand, it made sense to change it)

On that note, a lot of the changes seem to be because the character's no longer have the jobs they did at first.
Like Gray isn't a ranch hand anymore, so it doesn't make sense for him to still be dressed like one.
And Cliff isn't a traveling hunter with a pet falcon anymore.
And while Kai still has his bandana, he's now dressed like a sailor, rather than a vineyard worker (which was in 64).
-------

As for the villagers, they look--oh my gosh, Duke what did they do to you?!!

Manna I could live with (though she looked better with longer hair).
Saibara actually looks kinda cool, now.
Mugi (Barley) looks like he did in 64, actually.
Mei (May) is even more adorable, now.
Yu (Stu) looks a LOT better. I like that new look.
Lillia...um, wow. (Rod: "No, honey, you don't look fat in that dress." *wince*)

Sasha... () ("Karen's mom has got it goin' on." )
Jeff looks about like you'd expect. Hard to believe he originally was paired with Elli, huh?
Harris... *pfft* PWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Ellen looks adorable! You can see she still has some of that charm from when she was a bachelorette in SNES
Dudley-- wait, hold it! They're calling Doug... "Dudley"?!! HAHAHAHA! Oh, let the Dudley Do-Right joke flow! (He looks okay, though)

And apparently, Carter is the only villager that's ever heard of Weight Watchers.
I like Basil's new look. That bow-tie rocks!
And Anna... ....Basil's one lucky you-know-what.
And finally, Zack looks like he's fresh from the Legend of Zelda.

Fingers crossed for modding. The font is so ugly and idk what's on the mind of the developer. The dubstep beat drop summer music in the trailer is putting me off.

[Kai]

I'm hoping against hope there will be at least a little modding, so we can tweak relationships to spoof the I Choose You achievement.

[The Royal Tiger]

I'd rather have Mild Mods. Still use effort to build up your In-Game Life, but things like Marriage & random NPCs visiting would be . . . eh . . .
No need to overhaul the game & such . . .

[TyranntX]

I just want a mod that will slow down the clock. MAN that thing is fast!
