Use Content Patcher to replace the crow sprite in the game

Dom's Hooded Crows

🌍 **A simple yet exquisite visual enhancement module**

✨ Module introduction

This is a small mod using Content Patcher that aims to replace all instances of (presumably American) crows in the game with their European* counterparts, the beautiful hooded crow (*Corvus cornix*).

Since this is purely a visual mod, there will be no issues installing or uninstalling it at any point during gameplay.

🎯 Compatibility information

✅ **Confirmed compatible mods:**

  • They Deserve It Too - Portraits for Vendors
  • Any mod that doesn't specifically replace raven assets (or in some cases the entire atlas in which they appear)

🔮 Future Plans

  • Gradually add more mod support as it is licensed
  • If possible, find a way to lower the pitch or change the sound of the crow in the game

🙏 Special thanks

Thanks to DolphinIsNotaFish and Nyapu for allowing me to edit their portraits and include them in this mod!

*Note: Hooded Jays are also found in parts of Asia and North Africa, not just Europe. While 'Eurasian' is an accepted term, I'm not aware of a term that encompasses all three continents, so for simplicity's sake I've chosen to refer to them as European species, as this is also my continent. *

🐦 Usage suggestions

This mod brings a more diverse birdlife to your Stardew Valley world! If you like European style wildlife, this mod is definitely worth a try. Once installed, you will see elegant hooded jays replacing the original crows in the game, adding a touch of exoticism to farm life.

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.
