I know it's not as rich or developed as the Fallout or Skyrim franchise, but my fun little time waste Stardew Valley is greatly enhanced by mods.
The base game is incredibly fun and simple, but even the most basic mods enhance the "quality of life", making some of the more surface time eating elements easier. But then you have entire new world maps, NPC's, quests and full DLC-esque mods such as STV Expanded almost a must-have for long term players.
As an FYI, I'd highly recommend the game to even the most hardcore gaming aficionados. It's refreshingly amusing and low-key, so when Elden Ring has you ready to throw your controller at the TV, it's a nice mental break.
Plus the guy that created it learned how from scratch and coded the whole thing solo- the source, the sprites, even the music. And every upgrade and addition he's made over the years, easily 2-3 DLC's themselves, he's given away for free. Support indie devs!
I completely agreed. Stardew Valley always hit that sweetspot of looking for something hard but not TOO hard.
I am looking forward to update 1.6 since CA has said the update is more about making modding ever easier which will 100% keep this game alive for a long time through community support.
Oh my god I never knew Stardew Valley mods existed 0.o but that makes so much sense! I'll have to try these next time I inevitably return to that game.
He's making a game called, iirc, Haunted Chocolatier now. Who knows when that'll come out, but I want it. :)
Edit: for people who like Stardew, I recommend Sun Haven and both Portia games (My Time at Portia and My Time at Sandrock). They're all three a little rough around the edges, but I've had a great time with all of them, without their being clones of Stardew at all.
