Backwoods and BusStop
About this image
To make this project easier on myself and, potentially, smoother for testing purposes, I have broken up my process into three (3) phases! Phase One (1) is just to remake the maps! Focusing mostly on vanilla SDV, I will make the maps the way I envision them, with suggestions from others. Phase Two (2) will be mod compatibility edits! This phase will be where I make changes to maps to accommodate well-known expansion mods (NOT SVE). Please DO NOT FREAK OUT if you notice there is an edit in these previews that would potentially clash with your favourite NPC mod, I will absolutely be making patches and changes during this phase, do not worry about it! Phase Three (3) will be the mobile compatibility phase, the last phase before this mod is ready to roll out! I will need mobile testers (as many as possible would be grand), so hopefully between then and now I will get/find more volunteers!
As such, I'll just track the progress of the current phase! ((Also, to make it look like I am making progress, rather than staring at all the stuff I've yet to do)).
Anyway, enjoy the pic, issa double! The Backwoods and the BusStop are both very small maps, but a lot of action goes on here cause you're constantly running through them to get to places! Taking a note out of DaisyNiko's Reimagined 2, I opened up access in the Backwoods to a lot of spots! I, personally, use the backwoods for Tapping trees, as it is the only map I normally don't ride my Tractor through, but the cool thing about this set-up is you can always cover the floor with something (furniture, craftables, paths) and trees won't grow! Have fun with that! As for the bus stop, I thought it needed more pizzazz. Also was annoyed that the Bus just... drives in from the right when, according to the map, it just ends, so now there is a tunnel it comes out of.

Finally, what should I call this mod? Hippo's Landscape Overhaul? Terraformed Valley? Stardew Valley Refresh? New Stardew Valley?? Other??? Please post in the comments below what you think.

I loved SDV Reimagined 1 and 2 and was super sad when the updates broke them with the new map edits they included. The world maps felt so empty when I had to revert to vanilla, and it made me contemplate making my own map edits to spruce things up again! I'm really happy that SDVR seems to be carried on in spirit, haha!
I'll be looking forward to seeing more of this mod in the future! It will definitely be one of the mods I'll be looking for once I can play again :)
