About this mod Machine translation

Just like you can throw your babies (lovingly), this mod allows you to throw older children, farm animals, pets, and spouses.

Tater Toss - Toss your lover

🎯 **A throwing mod filled with love**

In Stardew Valley, you can pick your baby up from their crib (when they're old enough to wake up) and toss them in the air. It's fun for them, and hopefully for you too, but once they outgrow the crib, you can't do it anymore. Luckily, this mod is here to help!

✨ Features

Once installed, this mod will add the ability to throw the following objects:

  • 👶 **Crawling and toddler age kids**
  • 🐮 **Farm Animals (Any Type)**
  • 🐱 **Pets (any type)**
  • 💑 **Spouse**

More throwable "lovers" may be added in the future, if I can think of more.

🎮 How to Throw

After interacting normally with your lover, interact with them again to throw. It's like throwing a child from their crib, you pause and throw them, then put them down (time passes during the throw).

**Throwing conditions:**

  • The lover cannot be asleep
  • Different types of lovers have specific restrictions:
  • **Children**: If "UseKeyForChildren" is set to true in the configuration, the throw key needs to be held down
  • **Pets**: If "UseKeyForPets" is set to true in the configuration, you need to hold down the throw key
  • **Farm Animals**: Must use throw key
  • **Spouse**: You must use the throw button, and you can only throw your own spouse

💕 **Friendly Tip**: Throwing any type of lover will increase a small amount of friendship points (once per day)

💫 **Make life in Stardew Valley more interesting! ** Now you can interact with your family and animals in a loving way!

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.
