[stardew] it has begun, lads

for those who missed it the first go around, you can follow the original saga of linnet here on my sideblog on that tag

first few posts are of another character but then linnie just took over

ilu wren but lin has become way more fun

i'm still in the mod tinkering phase. i had to drop out custom walls and floors because its completely broken :[ so im using vanilla wallpapers and floors for now

i also had to drop my UI mod down to the bottom of the load order since SVE was overriding it

aside from those things and a couple of cosmetics (replacing my lamp retex, etc), i think i can be happy with this mod loadout

i might kill for more get glam packs tho tbh but im sure those are in the works

i only got lin to like... spring 4? before i stopped

i havent had much interaction with the actual like, content of SVE. i'm digging the map changes so far though

SVE also changes the "welcome to the farm" cutscene? and i actually really liked it, despite the awkwardness of "here, pick a dialogue option. btw you only have the one choice"

but the maps! everything is pretty. i've more or less met the new npcs and sophia is definitely already my favorite

any character whose introductory line is "eek! a stranger!" immediately has me hooked

i'm a simple creature, what else can i say

check how big the included (but optional) farm map for SVE is tho

that screenshot actually includes like, three maps. you can see the bus stop, and then the part to the south of that is a separate map too

yellow box is the main farm map

i havent figured out yet how to get to those other spots in the bottom left

i just went to compare linnet's current house to the ones i used before and whoops i forgot she was going to be more on the blue side of things, because pink was so heavily wren's thing and i wanted to give them separate aesthetics

THATS OKAY I CAN FIX THAT LATER

i should also adjust my seasonal buildings i think... at least the house...

ugh she's so cute. i love the hair & that skirt

right???

the skirt is from sailor styles, and the hair is alicedafox's hairstyles (the get glam update)
