Welcome to Leilukins {% cite "Stardew Valley" %} Mod Build!
Here Im compiling a list of all the modifications, or mods in short, that I use for {% cite "Stardew Valley" %}, the independent farming simulator video game developed by ConcernedApe, for the best experience with the game. This document is made for my reference and to share with others.
The format of this mod list is inspired by [KOTOR Community Portal's mod lists](https://kotor.neocities.org/modding/).
(This mod list was last updated on <time datetime="{{ updated }}">{{ updated | formatDate }}</time>)
{% endcontainer %}
{% container "article", "content__section" %}
## Mod Categories
The mods I included in my mod build are divided into the following categories, which clarifies the types of changes the mod makes:
Appearance Change
: Appearance change is not inherently graphics improvement, but rather a modification to the default appearance of a character, item, location, interface, etc.
Immersion
: These mods are not inherently bugfixes, but changes done to improve the internal consistency of the games content.
Interface Change
: As the name implies, this type of mod modifies the games interface.
Mechanics Change
: This type of mod makes changes to the games system which directly impacts the way you play the game, varying from changing the camera angle of a location to altering the core stats of a class.
Immersion
: These mods are not inherently bugfixes, but changes done to improve the internal consistency of the games content.
{% endcontainer %}
{% container "article", "content__section" %}
## Mod Tiers
The tiers for each mod included in my mod build are not necessary a judgement on the quality of the mods themselves. In my mod builds, mod tiers are ranked on a scale of 1-4, based on how important the individual mods are for my experience with {% cite "Stardew Valley" %}.
Tier 1 - Essential
: This tier indicates mods that I cannot play {% cite "Stardew Valley" %} without. Usually this is because I find those mods make very crucial changes to the game, typically by fixing things that bother me the most in the vanilla game. Similarly, mods of the Patch category that belong to this tier make critical changes to other mods. I consider excluding Tier 1 mods will negatively affect my experience with {% cite "Stardew Valley" %}.
Tier 2 - Very Important
: This tier indicates mods that vastly improve my experience with the game. Mods belong to this tier are the bread and butter of my mod build. That said, unlike Tier 1 mods, excluding Tier 2 mods from my playthrough does not actively make my {% cite "Stardew Valley" %} experience worse either.
Tier 3 - Somewhat Important
: This tier indicates mods that make changes that are in smaller scope or more subjective compared to Tier 1 and Tier 2 mods. Usually this is because the changes made by Tier 3 mods are less noticeable or more of a matter of personal taste.
Tier 4 - Optional
: This tier indicates mods that makes even smaller or more subjective changes than Tier 3 mods, to the point that using these mods are optional. I include Tier 4 mods in my build for the purpose of maximizing my immersion, or because I use these mods for customization purposes for my characters.
