About this mod Machine translation

This is a simple cute sprite edit that turns the horses in Stardew Valley into donkeys.

Donkey replaces horse

🐴➡️🐴 This is a mod I made a long time ago but never uploaded publicly. I figured, why not quickly update to the latest version of Stardew Valley and upload it?

Version compatibility

I've included two versions of the download:

  • **ORIGINAL VERSION**: Works with Content Patcher format 1.14.0
  • **Latest version**: Works with Content Patcher format 2.7.0

Function description

✨ This mod replaces the game’s horse sprites with cute donkeys!

  • The original version works on all versions before the carrot animation was added to the game
  • Latest version for horse spritesheets that currently contain carrot-chewing animations
  • As long as there are no major updates to the horse sprite sheet, this mod should continue to work in all versions

Usage suggestions

🎮 Choose the download file that suits your version of the game and enjoy riding donkeys in Stardew Valley! This simple sprite replacement adds a lovely twist to the game.

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.
