Festival Time Setter
🎮 **A small mod that improves the game experience and makes holiday events in Stardew Valley smoother! **
This mod will adjust your in-game time after the festival ends and provide more flexibility when entering buildings.
✨ Main functions
**🚪 Door locks open during festivals**
- Normally many shops and houses are locked during the festival
- With GMCM configuration you can choose to still open these doors when needed
**⏰ Synced to official festival end time**
- When you participate in a festival event and return to the farm, the game time is automatically set to the official end time of the festival
- No more strange situations where the time suddenly becomes much later than expected
**✅ Festival participation check**
- The mod will only adjust the time when you are actually participating in the festival event
- If you skip a holiday → do not adjust the time
- If you enter after the festival is over → no time adjustment
**🔒 Safe and reliable behavior**
- If the festival end time is not defined in the game files, the mod will not run (no errors, no surprises)
- Event handlers will be cleaned after use to ensure there is no residual impact on the next day
🆕 Latest update (v1.1.2)
- **Safe end time parsing** - If a festival has no defined end time, the mod will simply disable its logic instead of crashing
- **Participation Tracking** – Time corrections are only made if you actually attended the festival at the correct time
- **Smarter Time Adjustments** – Coming home late or skipping holidays will no longer trigger time corrections
- **Code Cleanup** – Better event handler management to avoid repeated triggering
⚙️ Configuration (via GMCM)
**🎯 Door locks open during festivals**
- Default value: `false`
- Allows you to enter locked doors during festivals
📋 Summary
This mod makes holiday events less frustrating by:
- Lets you choose whether the door remains open
- Make sure your in-game times correctly match the official schedule of the festival
- Provided you actually attend the festival
🌟 **Make every festival a pleasant experience instead of a time worry! **
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.
