In this guide i will be showing how to marry Non-marriageable Npc's. I will be using Kent as my example.

Important Information

Please note that due to the fact that the Npc's are supposed to be unmarriageable there are some issues that I have noticed that i wish to notify you of.

1.Be aware that there is no marriage cut scene for non-marriageable Npc candidates.

2.I have noticed that the kissing animation is missing. and results in two black vertical npc size bars appearing when you kiss them. As of 1.6 the candidate now just turns to face to the camera when you try to kiss them and the bars no longer show up. The Npc (My example is Kent) now just turns to face the camera when kissed.

Also,You no longer encounter the Npc sized bars when doing some event activities with The npc's as well. One such event i used to encounter this was at the Flower Dance.Now (My example is Kent) The Npc Just stands facing the camera while the others dance.










3.I have been married to Kent for more than a year and he has yet to ask me if i want to have a baby so i don't think you can have children with normally unmarriagable Npc's.

4.Another issue i have run into happens during events, for example the "Feast Of the Winter Star" if I try speak to the Ex Npc spouse of the Non-Marriagable Npc I have married the game will crash to desktop.So if you can avoid it don't talk to the Ex Npc Spouse of your chosen Non-marriagable npc.

For example: I am married to Kent so If I try to speak to Jodi at events I will crash
to desktop.

5.When you marry a non-Marriageable candidate they get a room just like the Marriageable Npc's do. However, Since the arrival of 1.6 The empty decoratable room has changed. The room of my chosen spouse Kent has gone from an empty decoratable room to being Abigail's room now. Ugh! LOL!

Getting Started

---------------
DISCLAIMER:I am not responsible if you somehow mess up and render your game file unusable. I recommend you Make backups of your game file before editing them!
---------------
-Create a new game or you can use an existing game file if you like.

-If you create a new game and want to marry Kent you will have to wait until he appears in Year 2.
Most other Non-Marriageable Npc candidates you can do in year one.

-Upgrade your house until you have the room with a crib in it.

-Get atleast 8 friendship hearts with Kent or other non-marriageable Npc of your choosing.

-You will have to edit your Save file a bit for this so You will need some sort of Text editor. Get Notepad++ or something similar to it for editing.. (I don't recommend using regular notepad or wordpad that comes with Windows, they are crappy.)

Editing your game file

---------------
DISCLAIMER:I am not responsible if you somehow mess up and render your game file unusuable. I reccomend you Make backups of your game file before editing them!

First backup your save file!!

Then you want to open your savefile in your text editor.

To locate your save file go to C:\Users\Yourprofilename\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\Saves\yoursavefile

Open your save file in your text editor

Use the search feature to search the name of your chosen Non-Marriagable candidate and search until you find something that looks like this:

<string>Kent</string></key><value><Friendship><Points>0</Points><GiftsThisWeek>0</GiftsThisWeek><GiftsToday>0</GiftsToday><TalkedToToday>false</TalkedToToday><ProposalRejected>false</ProposalRejected><Status>Friendly</Status><Proposer>0</Proposer><RoommateMarriage>false</RoommateMarriage>

Kent here is my example.you can either work on getting 8 hearts in game or you can edit <Points>0</Points> and give the npc 2500 frienship points which will give him/her 8 hearts.

You will also need to edit their <Status>Friendly</Status> from Friendly to Married.

Lastly, go back to the search box of your text editor and search for timesReachedMineBottom.
You will find this: <timesReachedMineBottom>0</timesReachedMineBottom>.
Put <spouse>Kent</spouse> directly after <timesReachedMineBottom>0</timesReachedMineBottom>.
It should look like this:<timesReachedMineBottom>0</timesReachedMineBottom><spouse>Kent</spouse>

Where kent's name is you can put the name of your Non marriageable npc you want to marry.

Save your game file and launch game.you should now be married to your chosen Non-marriageable candidate.

Just married!

Congratulations! If you have done everything right you are now married to your chosen Non-Marriageable candidate!

Enjoy The married life!!











PLEASE NOTE: This is my first guide ever. any input or suggestions for improvement would be appreciated. Thank you!

So, old guide, but I think it's worth mentioning that while normally unmarriable NPCs don't seem interested in raising kids, you can still make it happen by adding the following code under your spouse's "</WeddingDate>" line:

<NextBirthingDate>
<Year>1</Year>
<DayOfMonth>1</DayOfMonth>
<Season>spring</Season>
</NextBirthingDate>

Obviously, you'll want to replace the Year, DayOfMonth, and Season with your target date (generally 14 days from "today"). This works for any gender pairing, by the way — the game is intelligent enough to figure out who's gonna have the baby, if it's at all possible. The only downside is that you don't get the official (somewhat lackluster) prompt asking if you want to have a baby with your spouse. Everything else plays out normally.

Now, get out there and make some weird babies~!

I saw a guy who was really mad because there was a mod where you could marry a grown-up version of Jas, so when I saw how angry he was I decided that I would find a mod to marry Jas and send him a screenshot of my character married to Jas to annoy him. But unfortunately I couldn't find any mod that allowed me to do that, I tried looking for mods that let you marry any NPC but the vast majority of them were either no longer compatible or only allowed you to marry adult characters. Which is a shame since I really wanted to annoy him, but thanks to Yoba I found this tutorial

Yeah,Hopefully most people have some common decency and don't marry the kids.LOL!

[KioKio!]
