The next big free upgrade for Stardew Valley now has a release date in March and there's plenty to look forward to. Stardew Valley also just celebrated its 8th anniversary.
On the topic of Stardew Valley do people recommend doing a first playthrough unmodded? I feel like there’s probably some decent quality of life mods out there
With the new update coming out, it may be a while before some mods get updated to be compatible with the new release version.
I’d recommend starting your game unmodded, then look for mods that benefit your play style once you have a feel for the game and how it plays.
Stardew Valley Expanded is a fanmade expansion for ConcernedApe’s Stardew Valley. This mod adds 27 new NPCs, 50 locations, 260 character events, 27 fish, reimagined vanilla areas, two farm maps, a reimagined world map reflecting all changes, new music, questlines, objects, crops, festivals, and many miscellaneous additions!
I definitely mod the hell out of my games. Some of my favorite mods are total conversion ones. I am just wondering if there are any mods that are viewed as pretty much essential by fans.
For example a lot of Bethesda games have unofficial patch mods, Fallout 4 has full dialogue mods, and playing OpenMW versus regular vanilla Morrowind. I’d say those are great for beginners.
Maybe there’s something similar for Stardew Valley? Like a tractor mod.

Honestly I’ve never felt a need for mods in stardew, and I’ve beaten it twice. The game’s pretty polished as is
99% of people do.

TIL Stardew has mods…
Stardew Valley Expanded is a popular one (and a big reason why I asked).
Do what you like. I don’t care what the developer intended, it needs to be fun.

Tractor mod is too powerful imo (still using it). Some others are jump, hoe, weather… sorry, my PC is currently broken, can’t look it up.
I thought it might be. It was just one of the first mods I saw for Stardew Valley on the Nexus
