🌟 About Shig

**Shigemori "Shig" Ohshiro** is a male businessman from the Yamato region in the far east. He lost all his possessions during his journey and now lives a wandering life. Can you help him regain his life and integrate him into the community?

📍 Appearance location

  • **Initial Location**: Beach after bridge restoration
  • **Recovery period**: Recuperate in the hospital until recovery (wake up when the heart level exceeds level 2)
  • **STORE LOCATION**: In the open space in front of the community center on sunny days on Sundays, at the entrance to the hot springs on rainy days

🌱 Crops provided by Shig

Shig will give you 4 (+1) Yamato crop seeds over the course of the game:

  • **Perilla**: Spring ~ Summer
  • **Sugar Cane**: Summer
  • **Soybeans**: Autumn
  • **Winter Radish**: Winter
  • **Yamato Nishiki** (rice variety): Spring ~ Autumn

🛒 How to get it

  • First time seed: Obtained from heart level 4 event
  • Subsequent purchases: After completing any Shig mission, you can purchase it in the store

🗓️ Daily itinerary

Shig will appear at the following locations at specific times:

  • **Hospital**: Living in a hospital bed during recovery
  • **TOWN**: Shop in front of the community center on a sunny Sunday
  • **Hot Spring**: Rest in the men's locker room on rainy days, open shop at the entrance

  • **Forest**: Cutting wood in the northwest corner on Tuesday and Thursday
  • **Festival**: Open shops on each festival map

⚙️ Configuration Settings

After getting married, events will be triggered in the spouse's room and courtyard. If you use a module that modifies these locations, you need to configure it manually:

  • Select "Default", "Within the same map" or "Other maps"
  • Non-default settings require input of upper left corner coordinates
  • Other map settings require entering a map name that can be recognized by SMAPI

🔧 Compatible Modules

  • **The Love Of Cooking**: Support cooking perilla items
  • **Polyamory Sweet** or **Free Love**: Bigamy symbol reset item
  • **Item Bags**: Add Yamato bag custom files

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.
