🌟Mod Overview
Have you ever wondered how your relationships develop day by day?
**NPC Diary** automatically records your interactions with villagers—conversations, gift giving, and small daily details—turning your social life into a personal in-game diary. This is not just a calendar, but a living diary that grows with every conversation, every gift, and every shared moment.

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.
