Stardew Valley has a thriving modding scene, with ways to tweak, tinker with, and add to the farming game in abundant supply. Some of the best Stardew Valley mods are those that add entire new places to visit, people to meet, and things to do – and one impressive new creation has all of those, and more.
Rafseazz’s Ridgeside Village mod adds a “small town located on the west side of Stardew Valley”, as its creator explains. “Meet new interesting people with immersive backstories, engaging dialogue, and exciting events! Discover new forage, stories, secrets, maybe even fall in love? Who knows? A lot can happen in Ridgeside Village!” Looking at the breakdown of what the mod includes, this certainly seems to be the case.
There’s a whole new – and very pretty map – peppered with features like cherry blossom trees, waterfalls, and windmills among the scattered houses, farms, and the mod’s new shops. Plus, there are new festivals included complete with dialogue, and “over 200 locational messages” in the mod overall.
