For all Stardew Valley fans who play the game with mods, you’re in luck, because most mods should work with the 1.6 update on launch. ConcernedApe confirmed this himself on Twitter/X.
Stardew Valley 1.6 on launch will work with many mods
On the day before Stardew Valley has its long-awaited 1.6 update, ConcernedApe announced that most of your mods should work with the game on launch. This was just revealed in a post on Twitter/X with a link to a large list of mods and their compatibility with 1.6.
While most modders have to wait until a new patch releases to update their mod and make it work, ConcernedApe seems to have a great relationship with the modding community. It’s nice to see a developer care about players who like to play with mods since they would’ve otherwise not been able to touch 1.6 until all their mods got an update.
Although he recommends players try out 1.6 without mods, the list of compatible mods is quite expansive. It includes a list of what looks to be a few 100 mods, a ton of them confirming to work with 1.6. If you play with mods, check out the SMAPI.io mod compatibility list and see if your mods will work with 1.6.
Just keep in mind that if the mod has “SDV 1.6 only” written on it, this means that it’s for the beta version and not the stable version most players have. Make sure to read everything under the “compatibility” column to fully understand if your mods will work with 1.6.
ConcernedApe has also been using his Twitter/X account to post one sneak peek of the update every day, so take a look at his latest posts for hints about what’s to come. For example, he has already confirmed a new farm type called the “Meadowlands Farm” and the ability to drink mayonnaise. This may make you inclined to start a new world for 1.6.
