Desaturate all Stardew Valley expansion assets.

Desaturated SVE

🎨 **Bringing a soft visual experience to the Stardew Valley expansion**

✨ Core Functions

This mod uniformly desaturates all Stardew Valley expansion assets, creating a softer visual effect and better compatibility with popular recolor mods.

From character portraits to items, from maps to various resources, everything has been desaturated!

---

🔧 Compatibility Notes

  • Compatible with all mods, including large expansion packs
  • Other modules that edit SVE resources will take precedence over this module
  • You can mix and match freely

Think of this mod as a complement to what other recoloring mods don't cover!

---

⚙️ Configuration options

Version 1.0.3 is compatible with the general module configuration menu. You can:

  • Turn desaturation on/off for individual character sprites or portraits
  • Separate settings for broad categories such as furniture, crops/gatherings, etc.
  • All options are turned on by default

---

🎯 Design Concept

This mod was made specifically to match Herbivoor's universal recoloring (an important preset), and it is highly recommended to use both mods at the same time!

  • **FlashShifter** - Created the Stardew Valley expansion
  • **Krobus Discord Server** - great resource community
  • **ConcernedApe** - Of course, thanks to the original author of the game!

🌟 Enjoy a softer, more harmonious Stardew Valley 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.
