Better Pigs
✨ **Starting from version 2.0, this mod has been renamed from "Winter Piggy" to "Better Piggy"! ** If you only want the pigs to be outside during the winter, the new feature can be easily disabled in the configuration.
🐷 Pig behavior improvement
This mod makes several key improvements to pig behavior:
- **Golden Animal Crackers** 🍪: Pigs can now eat golden animal crackers. Pigs who have eaten the cookies will have an increased chance of finding truffles.
- **Truffle quantity limit lifted**: The game defaults to a limit on the number of truffles each pig can find (1-2 on average). This limit can now be disabled.
- **Animation Break Fix**: When the pig is doing the truffle digging animation, if the farmer comes to pet it, the animation will be canceled and no truffle will be found. Added option to prevent stroking during this animation
🌦️ Weather system extension
In addition to the original "Pigs can go out in rainy days and winter" function, all animals can now be configured to go out in more weather types:
**Severe Weather:**
- ⚡ Lightning
- ❄️ It’s snowing
- 🌧️ Green Rain
**Adverse Weather:**
- 🌧️ Rainy day
- ❄️ Winter
🏠 Indoor feeding options
Added option to keep animals indoors regardless of weather or season (villagers don’t need to know I’m recreating Jurassic Park in their backyard 🦖)
🔗 Recommended combination
**Better Truffles** - Works even better with better truffle mods!

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)
- Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
- Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
- Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.
Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
