Pet Interaction Redux
🐾Mod background
This module is based on jahangmar's original Pet Interaction module. The original module has not been updated since 2021 and cannot be used in version 1.6. Since the mod is open source on GitHub, I made modifications to make it compatible with version 1.6.
✨ Main functions
**🐕 Pet following system**
- Pets can follow you almost anywhere outdoors
- When you enter the building, your pet will be waiting at the door
- Right click on the pet to start/stop following it
**🐦 Interesting interactive behavior**
- Pets especially like to chase birds (luckily the birds always escape)
- Left-click when holding a stick to throw it, and your pet will pick it up
- Playing the catch game has a chance to increase the friendship value with your pet
**💔 Be careful with pets**
- Hitting a pet with a tool or getting wet with a watering can will reduce the friendship value
- Can apologize and repair the relationship by touching again
⚙️ Installation instructions
- **Install the latest version of SMAPI**
- Download this module and extract it to the Stardew Valley/Mods folder

**💡 Tips for use**: Pets are actually wider than they look and cannot pass through a single-wide vertical space. There is also an interesting little easter egg - pets will randomly greet the residents of the town. This is the NPC interactive function of the original game. Although it is a little buggy, it is very cute!
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.
