Changing Seasons recolor
🌿 **Make the seasonal changes in Stardew Valley more natural and smooth! **
Inspired by Soft Slow Seasons, this mod is my unique take on the 12 seasons recoloring. Each season now has three stages: early, true, and late, each with slight color changes to make seasonal transitions more natural and smooth.
✨ Module Features
- 🌱 **12 SEASONAL VARIANTS**: Grass, trees, shrubs and snow have all been recolored to create 12 different seasonal looks
- 🎨 **Keep the original style**: only seasonal elements are affected, other buildings and non-seasonal areas remain unchanged
- 📅 **Three-stage system**: Early and late stages last one week each, and the real season lasts two weeks
- 🌈 **Natural color transition**:
- Spring: blue-green tones
- Summer: Pure green tones
- Autumn: less saturated green grass, yellow-red tones of trees and shrubs
- Winter: blue tones
- ❄️ **Extended Snow Season**: There is also snow in early spring and late autumn
- 🌾 **Dynamic Grass**: Shorter grass in winter and spring, longer grass in summer and autumn
- 🍃 **Optional Foliage Style**: You can choose the original leaf recolored version or the Simple Foliage version

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.
