Sam is such a trap, and it's realistic as hell so it hits harder. I married him on my first run, since I felt like my character was also a young adult who got out of the rat race early, and because he has the most interesting family dynamics in the town. Turns out marrying you is a Bad Call for him, and he doesn't seem to like being stuck on the farm - he'd rather be back in town hanging out with his friends, and who can blame him? It's a real downer, but also completely accurate to how that relationship would actually go.

These days I go for Elliot. Byronic Fabio is great! He's a grown-rear end adult who knows what he wants, and although he's struggling at it, he's passionate about what he's doing and is going to try to make it work with all his heart. Your coming into his life makes his dreams a reality, as opposed to Sam and Sebastian who basically give up their dreams to be with you, and lose something important about themselves in the process. Elliot is also completely happy to be on the farm, which is lovely.

Elliott is pro marriage choice, imo. My last farm I did beach farm and married him. I made him a nice study/writing room overlooking the water.

Leah also seems similarly to be a lady with her poo poo together, and she could work on her art just as easily living on your farm as she could in her cabin. Maybe even easier! I'm sure the food is better on your farm.

:hai:

Leah is my choice for when I’m feeling like marrying a non-dude, for exactly the reasons you describe. Her lifestyle and what she wants out of life are a perfect complement to the farmer’s, and vice versa. Two people who know what they want, are passionate about it, and love the land.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

One mod I really like although I haven't had a chance to interact with it yet is Recatch Legendary Fish.

I've even gotten some iridium level legendary fish that way!

It is a bit broken though when you spend all day catching the legendary mutant carp. And sometimes you just want to fish in the lake without The Legend biting every 5 seconds.

I've got my few function mods back, but I'm uncertain about all those Elle's Animals packs I like. None of them have been updated yet, so I guess I'm stuck with vanilla horse and ugly hogs.

I married in one save, chose Elliot, never did the kids thing. I'm thinking about doing it again, will probably be Elliot or Leah. They both have a grip on where they are and what they want, and go ahead and do it. The rest of them just seem like kids, or are Shane.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.


Leah is not vegan she loves goat cheese

The only confirmed vegetarian character is actually Evelyn I think

EDIT: Evelyn and Emily

Both have all fish stuff as either hated or disliked which is unique to them. Only Evelyn has a quote about it though where she says she wishes Gus would have something for vegetarian at his cookout though. Emily is just “yeah that tracks.”

If you’re ever going out to a bar and it has a fried cauliflower appetizer, it’s almost always going to be one of the best things you can get there. Sadly many vegetarian things are not always so good.

Gus is definitely one of my favorite villagers. He's just a really good guy.

I'm thinking of marrying Elliot in this run. I've got a beach farm, I'm gonna grow Pomegranates, it's perfect.
Alex is more my type, and I like Sebastian's personality, and Sam is a sweetheart.... and then I end up never marrying anyone.

This patch is sooooo good. Loving it on my PC, will love it even more on Switch. At this point, all I would want to see in a hypothetical 1.7:

-Gus is now marriageable
-Wizard is now marriageable
-Clint has been replaced by Hat Mouse. Hat Mouse has no strong feelings either way towards Emily.

Is there any way to get rid of decorations you don't want? Like, can I sell the spooky boarded-up window and string o'bats from the Monster Farm to Robin? Right now I just keep a trunk of junk. Same question for clothes that drop.

Not new. Still very cool. Rings/boots too.

Also, you can transmog boots with the sewing machine in case you like other styles better. Something I learned about the same time.

Yeah, Sandy is cool.

Leah and Elliot are almost gender swaps of the same character and marrying either one is cool. They get a local winery millionaire to support them while they pursue their art.

If I play Stardew again I might go for an animal heavy new map. Does the blue grass make raising animals for slaughter competitive?

Trout Derby is good, I'm glad they set aside two days to be like "Hey. Drop your Pickaxe at Clint's and go level up your Fishing Skill." Deluxe Bait gives you more than a level's worth of bar size, so that really helps you punch above your current level when catching the more difficult fish.

Enemies seem to drop A Lot of clothing items now. Was that a change? Is it just the having read the book that increases monster drop rate that's doing it?

It adds nothing of interest to me. I still have a number of options in the base game that I haven't done yet that I can explore.

Yes. Clothing and Hats can now randomly drop from lots of random things. IE shaking trees, digging, and in your case killing enemies.

The base stuff for Expanded is really good, I like there being other farmers, I like Claire being a character, I like that there are new scenes with old characters. I do think all the Wizard and Lance associated stuff really spirals out of control.

I restarted on the standard farm and as I do in first spring, I cut all the grass to let the weeds and trees proliferate, so I can start my fiber stockpile and live on field snacks from all the dropped tree seeds. Then I just got to my first green rain. My whole farm turned into a moss heap. I got 399 moss, six of those weird green seeds and 23 of the mixed flower seeds. And four or five hundred fiber.

That was after redoing to day, because I got all caught up in moss gathering and missed checking what the villagers were up to at the saloon, so I had to do over, lol.
