About this mod

A few updates relating to indoor lighting, including gradual interior darkness at night.

v2.0.0 has been updated to work with Stardew Valley 1.5.5, I'm not able to test if it works with previous versions anymore.




v2.1.0: Press 'L' (configurable) to open the Dark Interiors menu. Here you can choose if the current indoor location gets dark at night. This includes custom locations added by other mods.

Minor Light Tweaks:
  • Add the standard nighttime darkness effect if night falls while you are inside your farmhouse. (Normally if you are in your farmhouse when night falls the windows change but the darkness effect in the location isn't applied unless you leave and re-enter)
  • Turn on the Saloon fireplace and music at the normal time while you are inside the Saloon. Normally the check to turn these on is only done when entering.
  • (Optional) Add the same farmhouse darkness effect to other indoor locations when night falls.
  • (Optional) Indoor areas get darker gradually. Farmhouse lighting turns on an hour earlier to compensate when this is enabled.
  • (Optional) Add a darkness effect to the Volcano dungeon (regardless of time of day).

Auto Fireplaces:
  • Set the fireplaces in your farmhouses to turn on at a given time. You can set a different time for each season, and for rainy days.
  • Set fireplaces to 'burn out' overnight.




Extract the folder into your Stardew Valley\Mods\ folder.
Requires SMAPI.




Options can be changed in-game if you use Generic Mod Config Menu, otherwise run the game once after installing this mod to create the config.json file, and edit the following values (default values in bold):

Indoor Lighting
  • DarkInteriors: true/false
  • DarkInteriorsMenuKey: L
  • GradualDark: true/false
  • DarkVolcano: true/false

Auto Fireplaces
  • FarmHouseAutoFireplaces: true/false

The following options are the times when your fireplaces will turn on (e.g. use 1930 for 7:30pm). Set to a negative number for them not to turn on automatically.
  • AutoFireplacesSpring: -10
  • AutoFireplacesSummer: -10
  • AutoFireplacesFall: 1800
  • AutoFireplacesWinter: 1500

  • FarmHouseFireplacesOffMorning: true/false

  • AutoFireplacesSpringRain: 1700
  • AutoFireplacesSummerRain: -10
  • AutoFireplacesFallRain: 1700
