Penny's New Style - Ponytails

💖 I've always had a special fondness for Penny - she's such a kind and caring character. So, I wanted to add more visual variety to her while keeping her original style. I created this extension based on her classic summer ponytail, imagining what it would look like if this was her main hairstyle, allowing her style to evolve with her natural hair growth.

🌸 Seasonal changes

  • **Spring** - The first warm month of the year. Penny has short hair and freckles visible on her face due to the sunny weather
  • **Summer** - Her hair grew into a classic ponytail. Freckles become more visible in the bright summer sun
  • **Fall** - Penny's hair grew to shoulder length. Freckles fade slightly due to less sunlight
  • **Winter** - Her hair is long enough to be braided. Freckles are almost invisible due to cold and lack of sunlight

✨ Other portrait restorations

  • Optimized the jaw line
  • Adjusted hair outline for summer hairstyles
  • Removed skin highlights
  • Fixed blue lips and teeth in open mouth portraits
  • Slightly optimized the elf hairstyles for Flower Dance Festival and Winter Star Festival

📖 In line with the original settings

This expansion pack fully conforms to the original setting. Two of the hairstyles are redesigns of Penny's existing classic looks, while the other two are logical extensions of those designs without introducing drastic changes in color or style.

🎨 Creation Instructions

  • Spring, Summer and Autumn portraits created using Poltergeister and Jaz's Stardew Valley character creator
  • Winter hairstyles were originally inspired by the hairstyles in sorkrimp's childhood sweetheart Caroline mod, but have been completely redrawn
  • Spring Elf is based on her original summer hairstyle with minor adjustments
  • The fall front pixie is the original pixie, with the bun lowered to shoulder length
  • Winter front elf hairstyle based on in-game character editor #37

💫 Let Penny show a different charm in each season, adding more warm moments to your Stardew Valley life!

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.
