With this free mod, you will get 27 new NPCs, 50 locations, 260 character events, 27 fish, reimagined vanilla areas, two farm maps, a reimagined world map reflecting all changes, new music, questlines, objects, crops, festivals, and a ton of other add ons. It is incredible to think this massive expansion is available for free here.

Memorizing all the locations of the NPCs in Stardew Valley can become a real chore. However, with this handy little mod, you can use the minimap provided to locate all the NPCs around the world. No longer will you have to spend ages searching for this person or that, simply look them up and head over.

With this Stardew Valley mod, you can open your own restaurant, Flower Shop, Fishery, and many other shops. You can now cook, harvest, and sell to the various villagers in Stardew Valley. It’s time to start your own capitalist empire!
Lumisteria Serene Meadow
If you feel Stardew Valley needs a little more beauty in its nature, grab this mod. It adds a whole array of new flora to the game, including trees, flowers, giant and regular crops, and a ton more giftlines. It is an easy way to add a great selection of new crops to the game for you to grow and harvest.
Buildable Ginger Island Farm
Have you ever gazed wistfully over at Ginger Island Farm and wished you could build there? Now, with this Stardew Valley mod, you can. No land is safe from your ever-marching tirade of land acquisition and development. The beautiful island is yours to farm and grow.
Cornucopia – More Flowers
Add a little more color to the already beautiful world of Stardew Valley with this simple mod. You can easily brighten up your farm with the wide range of flowers, flow bushes, and flower trees that come packed into this tiny file. This is perfect for anyone looking to really delve into the world of digital flower arranging.
Tractor Mod
Industrialization is the driving force behind the modernization of the agricultural world, so why not introduce it to your farm in Stardew Valley, too? This mod allows you to go out and buy yourself a Tractor. Now, harvesting, planting, and clearing things like twigs and rocks is much more efficient. Nobody wants to do that kind of thing by hand, and I’m sure your neighbors won’t mind the noise…
Immersive Family- A Children’s Events Expansion
This mod creates all-new levels of immersion for your children in Stardew Valley. It adds a huge number of new voice lines and events, all centered around your spouse and your children in the game. Your children are now fully immersed in the game’s goings-on, making them feel much more real. Other NPCs will also respond much more to children and their daily lives.
Friend Forever mod
This mod is a little creepy from some angles, but in others, it’s perfect. Once you’re friends in Stardew Valley, you’re friends forever and ever, and ever and ever. This mod stops the decay of friendships over time, meaning you don’t have to constantly upkeep the friendships the same way you do your crops. This is an especially helpful mod if you have installed some of the others on this list that add so many new NPCs.
