A new portrait for Shane, inspired by Spike Spiegel and consistent with the game's worldview! In Nyapu style!

Shane Reimagined as Spike Spiegel Cowboy Bebop

🎨 **NEW PORTRAIT MOD** - Redesign Shane from Stardew Valley into Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop!

✨ Module Features

  • 🖼️ **Seasons Portraits** - Complete portrait set with all 4 seasons
  • 👕 **Original Costume** - Maintain Shane’s original clothing style and perfectly match the in-game sprites
  • 🎭 **Character Resonance** - Both characters share similar struggles: addiction and depression.
  • 📐 **Standard Size** - All portraits are 128×384 pixels for easy custom editing

🎨Art style

Created in the beloved **Nyapu style**, bringing a unique anime flavor to Stardew Valley! The author is creating sprites and costumes to match the animation style, and even plans to replace Shane's chicken with Ein (a corgi)!

💡 Creative inspiration

Spiegel was chosen as the inspiration because of the striking similarities in personality and experience between the two characters - both complex male characters struggling with inner demons.

🤝 Acknowledgments

Special thanks to Nyapu Mod for inspiring the art style!

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.
