SH’s Domestic Animals

🏡 **Make your Stardew Valley full of life and vitality! **

This mod used to be a little easter egg for my previous mod Wild Animals, but now I've decided to split them into two separate mods. As long as you can enter the area where they spawn, you are bound to see these cute animals! They like to hang out, so sometimes you may not see them for a while, especially when they are hiding behind buildings and bushes.

🎯 Module Features

These animals don't do much, and are more like little beings that add ambiance to your valley - they make occasional noises and have some fun interactions! Some animals may not be too fond of players early in the game... who knows? If you marry certain spouses, you might even be able to adopt some of these little ones!

🐾Animal list

  • **Willy's brown cat**
  • **Witch Hut/Black Slime Cat in the Swamp**
  • **Wizard's Little Green Dragon**
  • **Charlie Chicken**
  • **Abigail's Guinea Pig David** + Change the cage appearance depending on where it is inside and outside the cage

  • **Leah's Rabbit**
  • **Rooster** + more Marnie's barn animals
  • **Shadow Cubs in the Sewers**

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.
