Ditch the menus! See real-time gift suggestions based on the items in your inventory!

Are you tired of constantly having to dig through multiple wiki pages or mod menus every time you want to give a villager a gift? Wouldn't it be easier if there was just a visual indicator of who can receive a gift and who you can talk to? You deserve Better Friendship!

Update 1.1.2 (2024/04/27): Added customizable bubble ranges and Japanese language translation. Bubble range can now be set in the configuration menu and villager icons will only show when they within the specified range. HUGE shout-out to to SaltSouls for coding this feature!

Compatible with Stardew Valley 1.6+ on Linux, Mac, and Windows
. Requires SMAPI 4.0.0 or later.



Features
  • Each villager shows an at-a-glance display of whether they can receive gifts or want to be talked to!
  • Simple gift suggestions based on what you are currently carrying!
  • Customizable preferences with built-in config menu (requires Generic Mod Config Menu)

    • Toggle for the prompts to speak with villagers
    • Set minimum level of gift suggestions to display (e.g. Only show "loved" gifts)
    • Customize the number of suggestions to cycle through and time in between cycling
    • Ability to disable prompts when friendships are maxed and can't decay
    • Preference to only display the highest quality available for each item
