Dynamic portrait background
🎨 ** Give your Stardew Valley portraits a new look! **
I've always wanted to make this mod because the original character background always looked drab and boring, like an old, yellowed piece of parchment.
✨ Core Functions
This mod is very simple, it replaces the original scroll background with a dynamic background that changes based on your location!
🎯 Smart background switching
- **Location Aware**: The background automatically changes based on your current location
- **Seasonal changes**: Some portrait backgrounds are seasonal and will change with the seasons.

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.
