Description

🌸 Pretty Valley The Project 🌸
One cozy pastel makeover for the whole valley! 🍃🌷
Welcome to Pretty Valley! ✨ This is a complete pastel recolor of Stardew Valley in a single Content Patcher mod. Sage-mint grass, blush-rose dirt, pink beach sand, cherry-blossom trees, a fluffy cloud shipping bin, a flower-covered hippie bus, and a soft pink interface to match. 💕
Everything is image-only, so it never touches your items, NPCs, maps, events or saves. Don't like a part? Switch it off! 🎀

🌿 What's Inside

🌱 Nature recolor – grass, dirt, beach sand and the seasonal outdoor, beach, island and Pelican Town tilesheets, in all four seasons
🌳 Trees – oak, maple, pine, mystic, palm, mushroom and fruit trees
🌼 Custom-made grass – hand-recolored grass tufts for every season
🌸 Wildflower grass – an optional version dotted with pastel flowers
🍓 Bushes, crops & flowers – berry, tea and decorative bushes, plus every crop and flower growth stage
🪴 Tilled soil – dry, watered and snowy soil
☁️ Cloud shipping bin – a fluffy bunny cloud bin with a matching lid animation (closed and open!), in four seasons
💌 Magic mailbox – a sparkly vine-wrapped mailbox, in four seasons
🚌 Seasonal hippie bus – a flowering, rainbow-striped bus with a door animation, in four seasons
🎀 Meadow Cottage UI – blush-pink menus, buttons, tabs, inventory, toolbar, dialogue boxes, clock and HUD
🌅 Title screen – a flowered logo, matching buttons and a sunset backdrop
📜 Letters & boards – letters, billboard, bundle page, special orders board and the forge
🔨 Custom tools – flower-trimmed hoe, pickaxe, axe, watering can, fishing rods, pans, trash cans and scythes in every upgrade tier
🧁 Add-on for other mods – pastel recolors for Stardew Valley Expanded trees and DaisyNiko's Tilesheets (only active if you have them)

🎨 Three Palette Strengths

🤍 Soft – the gentlest, most muted pastel look
💗 Medium – a balanced middle
💖 Strong – the full Pretty Valley palette (default)

One setting covers the nature recolor and the SVE / DaisyNiko add-on together, so they always match. 💗

⚙️ Options (everything is ON by default)

Set any of these to

false

config.json

📦 Requirements

Stardew Valley 1.6 or newer
SMAPI 4.0 or newer
Content Patcher 2.5.0 or newer

Optional:

Stardew Valley Expanded and DaisyNiko's Tilesheets – for the add-on part (each part only runs if that mod is installed)
Generic Mod Config Menu – to change settings in game

🛠️ Installation

Install the latest SMAPI and Content Patcher.
Extract the download. You should get a folder called [CP] Pretty Valley The Project.
Put that folder inside
```
Stardew Valley/Mods
```
Start the game through SMAPI and enjoy! 🌷

Updating: delete the old folder, then copy in the new one. Please don't merge new files over old ones. Uninstalling: delete the folder. Nothing is written to your save files. 🧺

🤝 Compatibility

This mod only edits images. It never changes game data, items, NPCs, maps or events. 💞

Load order: the nature recolor and the UI run at Early priority, so another mod that edits the same pixels will win. The add-on, bin, mailbox and bus run at Late priority, so they win over other mods.
Inside the pack: none of the parts edit the same pixels, so they never fight each other.
Stardew Valley Expanded: in SVE's Galdoran regions, SVE swaps in its own menu frames, HUD and portrait panel, and those take priority over this UI. To see this mod's UI there too, set
```
DisableGaldoranTheme
```
to
```
true
```
in SVE's config.
Other recolor, UI, tool or portrait mods: they usually win for the same pixels. Turn off the matching option (for example
```
EnableTools
```
) to avoid mixing looks.
Title screen: this mod supplies a sunset backdrop. Remove other title-screen background mods so they don't fight over it.
Languages: art that contains text (menus with words, title buttons) is applied only for English. Everything else applies in all languages.

🩹 Troubleshooting

"FromFile file doesn't exist" in the SMAPI log: the install is incomplete. Delete the mod folder and copy it in again in full.
Nothing changed in game: make sure Content Patcher is installed and that Pretty Valley The Project loaded in the SMAPI log with no errors. In the SMAPI console, type
```
patch summary
```
to see every patch and why any were skipped.
