Q: How to install this mod?
A: 1. Download this file and make sure to have the requirements also installed.
2. Unzip the downloaded zip file.
3. Just drop the extracted folder into the mods folder provided when you have Smapi installed. _(:3 」∠)_
Q: How does this mod work?
A: This mod will apply retextures and edit some Object Data (the items' descriptions in-game) during festivals and some days that surround that date, depending on the festival. Monsters have a chance to spawn during several festivals, but most are rather harmless (aside from the Spirit's Eve monsters).
Q: Does this mod add new items that are not available in the vanilla game?
A: This mod does not add new items to the game, but may look like they're new because of how I edited their textures, in-game description, and how you acquire them. They are really just retextures of the same items you'd normally have while playing the game, but I try to have them make sense. For example, my mod turns regular eggs into eggs with colored foil wrapped around them during the Egg Festival. These "new" items are just for fun and will hopefully reduce the risk of the mod breaking because of that.
Q: Will this mod conflict with other mods that change the same items?
A: From my experience, no. Your other mods will still show up on any other day and this one will also show up only during their festival dates. However, if this mod is having trouble showing up during a festival, then you can rename this mod to make it load after your other mods because Smapi loads mods alphabetically (for example, renaming this mod from "Festive Valley" to "z Festive Valley").
Q: Does this have support for custom items/crops?
A: Well, these can definitely work with custom items/crops in the game, but this mod will not spawn them even if they match the criteria for each festival. This is because of how the mod is coded. It looks for the specific Object IDs that belong to certain vanilla items, such as "107" for the dinosaur egg and "591" for the grown tulip. Since I'm quite new to modding in general, I don't really know how to add custom items support as of now.
+ Gameplay
Q: I'm not seeing anything spawn. What could be wrong?
A: There are several things that could cause this and these are the following possibilities:
a. The mod has been incorrectly installed. Please refer to the first Q and A above.
b. You're waiting on the wrong date. Please refer to my mod guide in the "Articles" tab here and open the "Mod Guide" or click this [LINK] to know when exactly do they start spawning.
c. They will not spawn when it's raining or if there's a storm.
d. The mod has a set minimum and maximum number that determines how many can spawn per map. The minimum usually ranges from 3-0 and it differs per festival, day, and map. You might just be unlucky and nothing has spawned (in-game luck has no role in this mod).
e. The spawns don't usually appear in the morning immediately unless they're stated/programmed to. They usually take their time and gradually show up.
Q: Do you think you can add ___________, change ___________, etc?
A: Feel free to share them because ideas and suggestions would be highly appreciated! It really depends on whether or not the idea matches up with the mod and if I even know how to implement it.
+ Known Issues
Q: The items are spawning outside of the accessible areas of the map. Is this a bug?
A: It is not a bug. It's kind of something we cannot control as of the latest release, but the good news is that majority of the objects will still spawn in areas where you can actually get them. The items spawning outside of these areas are more of a rare occurrence (in my experience at least).
