💫 Usage suggestions

It is recommended to use GMCM (General Module Configuration Menu) to manage configuration options. After downloading, click "Mod Options" at the bottom of the game options menu and select this mod from the list. Each pet will have a checkbox there.

Make your pet selection interface more lively and interesting! 🐱🐶🐢

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.
