Dotty's Charming Characters
🎨 **A dream come true modding project**
Since 2022, I have dreamed of playing with the characters I created in the game. Until 2024, I decided to turn this dream into reality. For almost the entire year of 2025, I spent my free time drawing sprite sheets for each character. Although this is my first time exploring this skill, it started off slow, but now I’m finally done!

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