10 Best Stardew Valley Mods of November 2018
Location Compass
It can be annoying to constantly try and keep track of where all the NPCs in Stardew Valley are hanging out at any particular day and time. This mod places compass needles on-screen that show you the direction of any one of the villagers, and also has a steps counter so you can know who is closer or farther away. This should make gift giving a much simpler task.

Easy Petting
If you are less focused on crops and tend to make farms with a lot of animals, going around every morning to pet every single critter can be a task that’s hard to keep up on. If you have a huge barn with tons of animals inside or they keep walking inside and outside before you can check on them, it’s frustrating to keep track of who you already pet.
To simplify things, this mod has your animals display a heart over their head until you give them their designated pet for the day. That way, you can know exactly who is still in need of some TLC without having to go back over and check every animal again. This function also works for your pet cat or dog as well.

Reader’s Digest
Instead of watching the cooking show every day to learn all the game’s recipes, this mod sends them right to your mailbox. If you pair this one with the next noteworthy mod on the list, you will be able to eliminate the use of the TV entirely.

Forecaster
A perfect mod to use with the previous Readers Digest mod that negates the usefulness of the cooking channel, this mod displays the weather and daily fortune message as a notification in the corner of your screen every day.
You no longer have to check the weather channel to know what you have in store weather-wise. Once downloaded, you won’t have a use for the TV at all.

Underdark Sewer
If you want a darker and creepier sewer, then this is the mod for you. It provides a total overhaul of the underground maze, covered in vines and mushrooms with a more cave-like color palette of purple and blue. It also adds more map to the sewers, and a few new creatures as well
. This mod was made alongside another one released last month that changes the NPC Krobus into an elf with 11 color options and a bunch of new dialog. We recommend downloading these two mods together, as it also unlocks more areas of the sewers with more spooky experiences to be had.

Looking for Love
This mod is an updated version of Siv’s Marriage Mod, which originally released in May 2016. In it, you can now romance and marry Clint, Gus, Lewis, Linus, Marnie, Pam, Sandy, Willy, and the Wizard. Previously, they were not included in the list of available singles and you had no option to offer them a bouquet to instigate a relationship.
There are special spouse rooms for each when you marry, eight-heart and 10-heart events while romancing, post-marriage dialog and schedules, and visual updates for each character.
The update here ensures there are no errors in heart events, replaces some nonsensical dialog where your wife can be referred to as your husband by certain NPCs, and fixed various bugs such as Lewis not being able to dance with you at the yearly Flower Dance.

Beehive Reskin
This simple but sweet mod changes the appearances of drab old beehouses into adorable beehives for a more realistic look. If you are going for more of a cutesy, small-town farm look, these beehives will definitely add some charm and make your farm look a lot more low-key.
