Stardew Valley Mod reworks vanilla mechanics, and adds tax

A new Stardew Valley mod aims to completely overhaul the farming life game, by reworking almost all of the game’s mechanics and offering a “much more engaging and immersive ‘Vanilla+’ experience”. This mod is similar to The Sims Stardew Valley mod, but it allows you to customize your experience.

The mod for the indie game is called ‘DaLion’s Modular Gameplay Overhaul’ and is developed by the titular DaLion. Stardew Valley mod took over a full year to develop. You have the option of enabling or disabling different aspects of the game while staying true to the core game’s ideas.

“This mod is a compilation of overhaul modules, each targeting a specific gameplay component or mechanic. Together, the modules complement each other to create an enhanced ‘Vanilla+’ experience,” says DaLion.

“The modular nature of this mod allows users to cherry-pick features to their liking, while also preserving the deep native integration required between the individual modules.”

You can modify professions and weapons and tools, as well as the iridium band and even ponds. It also allows for some new ideas. “ Professions is the original and largest module,” says Dalion. “It overhauls all the game’s professions with the goal of supporting more diverse and interesting playstyles. It also introduces all-new Prestige mechanics for very late-game save files, as well as exciting new Super Abilities for combat professions.”

Taxes are also part of the new Conservationist profession, according to DaLion, and they add a tax system that should give you a “simple yet realistic” challenge for the end game gold sink. The Stardew Valley mod can be found on Nexus Mods.
