Install
Install the latest version of SMAPI.
Download this mod and unzip it into Stardew Valley/Mods.
Download any optional files to add support for other mods you are using.
Use SMAPI to run the game.
How to use
By default, you don't actually have a yearbook. You need to wait and Pierre should give you one. (However, if the event is bugged or you're just impatient, you can also force it on in the settings!
Once you have the Almanac, open it from the inventory menu or press the hotkey (default is F7) to open it. Then just select a page and browse.
This is an early version.
I still don't know how well this mod will work with other mods that add content, and I'm hoping to get lots of user reports to help me expand this into a truly amazing in-game tool. Let's build something really neat!
On that note, if anyone is interested in helping with the translation, or making some more interesting activities for the mod, I'd be interested in helping. I'm a UX programmer, not a designer...

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.
