Dao - Mulberry Village Custom NPC

✨ **Cheerful, easygoing and adventurous Dao** (she/her) has spent most of her life traveling the world and trying new things. She decided to slow down for a few years (maybe!) since the plane tickets weren't going to be paid for herself, and she now works as a translator and volunteer firefighter. But no matter what, she won't let age or her body stop her from doing what she wants to do. Dao is used to constant change with himself as the only fixed point, so an extended stay in a place like Mulberry proved to be a novel experience.

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)

  1. Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
  2. Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
  3. Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
  4. 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.
