🎮 Game experience
This mod doesn't just make Sandy playable, it also significantly expands her general dialogue, schedule, and heart events. Even if you don't want to develop a romantic relationship with her, you can still enjoy a richer interactive experience!
⚠️ Content Tips
Sandy's backstory and some of the dialogue deal with relatively mature themes like abandonment and depression (no explicit or NSFW content). Much of the dialogue is dominated by humor and romance.
After getting married, Sandy still went to the Oasis every other day, except for Tuesdays when she regularly went for aerobics.

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.
