💡 Usage Tips

  • With the Toddlers like parents mod, your kids can look like Sauron!
  • If you use the Stardew Valley expansion at the same time, Sauron is fully compatible, but there may be trees partially blocking the view during the 2-heart event
  • It is recommended to cut down the relevant trees before triggering the event for a better visual experience

🌟 *Experience the gentle heart of this rugged miner and start a special Stardew Valley romance! *

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.
