Download and extract the Farmer 2..0 Folder you would like to use.
Inside of the assets folder is where you will put your player folder;
There are now multiple player 1 folder options located in Misc in the Files on nexus. If you are having any issues with where to place your emotions files please take a look at these!
- Player 1 - the default portrait options
- Player 1 - Empty - has all of the folders but no png files
- Player 1 - More Emotions - has the "More Player Emotions" png file examples
- Player 1 - No Emotions- has no emotion examples, if you just want to start of nice and easy!
- Player 1 - No Indoor - has no indoor options for the different seasons
- Player 1 - No Weather - has no weather options only "sun" options
- I highly recommend making a duplicate Player 1 folder and just replacing the files in that
- name this folder after your farmer, not your farm, your farmer
- Inside this folder there will be your default png files please keep these or replace them with whatever you want but keep the names the same!!
- these need to be here in order for your portraits to change!!!
- portrait.png
- portrait_angry.png
- portrait_happy.png
- portrait_sad.png
- portrait_blush.png
- this is also where any new emotions you want would go!!
- (see images if you are confused)
- If you used the folder Player 1 - More Emotions you will also see these
- portrait_scared.png
- portrait_surprised.png
- portrait_disgust.png
- portrait_awkward.png
- these will also need to be in your folder if you wish to use "More Player Emotions"
- these can literally be anything including the png files that come in the folder they just need to be in there
- Salty
- Dubs
- Momo
- please use the player 1 folder as an example on what portraits you need
- there will be an additional download folder in the mics. files on nexus, this has example folders on what portraits to make depending on what you want to use in game. I highly recommend looking at this if you get confused.
- inside of each of the folders replace the portrait_emotion.png with your own portraits
- Be sure to name your portraits with with what is already in the folders
- SUN is the default portrait so if you don't want to use any of the other weathers just place portraits in the SUN folders
- delete any png files you are not using besides the portrait.pngs that are just inside of the character folder, DO NOT DELETE FOLDERS just the .png please it will mess with the coding and has made people's portraits not work!
- if you are using one of the files that has indoor options the png should look like this portrait_emotion_indoor.png and they will be next to the regular portrait options
There are a couple of ways to make your own portraits
- Draw them :3
- Use a website such asStardew Valley Character Creator by Jazzybee (itch.io) or a picrew one (listed at the bottom) :)
- Commission an artist to draw one for you! Find them on the Stardew Valley discord! <3
The first option is probably the easiest for people new to my mod that like me lack art skills :D, it lays out a super easy to use framework with lots of options:
Don't forget to toggle your background if you want to use a custom background <3
A quick way to check and see if your portraits are working or not is to load in and walk up to the TV with “show otherwise” turned on in Farmer Portraits for 1.6:
