Now updated for 1.6!

Have you ever wanted to marry Stardew Valley's resident capitalist? Marry Morris adds Morris as a marriageable NPC, giving him a full backstory, redemption arc (if the Community Center is completed), heart events, a modified Community Center event where he stays in town, his own house, and more. Built from the ground up for SVE compatibility, this mod uses SVE's version of Morris when SVE is installed and adds Morris as an NPC when SVE isn't installed.

If you don't have SVE, don't want to marry Morris, and want to complete the Community Center, you should also check out Morris Redeemed!

Marry Morris was featured in the news!

Features:

• Marriageable Morris
• Morris has a full backstory and redemption arc
• 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 14-heart events, with different events for the Joja or Community Center route
• Morris has a house above the bus stop (assets used with permission of FlashShifter)
• Fully compatible with SVE and all SVE added events (such as Morris's Joja arc) -- uses the same version of Morris that SVE does with the same gift tastes/movie tastes/birthday, but works independently of SVE
  

Gift Tastes/Movie Tastes/Concession Tastes/Birthday:
These are all identical to SVE's Morris, so check his Wiki page for all the information you need. If there's anything you need that's not on there, let me know and I'll add it to this description. Morris has his annual checkup on Spring 19.

Compatibility Issues:

• This mod may have compatibility issues with mods that edit the top of the bus stop, as this is where Morris's house goes (Boarding House and RSV have been tested and they work, but this may not be the case for all mods).
• Currently working on mod compatibility with Morris Redeemed.
• Recolor mods shouldn't cause any gameplay issues but may cause the custom maps to look odd.
• Portrait mods will have some compatibility issues, as they'll either load before this mod (causing my added sprites/portraits to look out of place) or after it (causing Morris to be invisible during his wedding/certain scenes). They won't cause any crashes, though.
• Incompatible with Auto Forager if SVE isn't installed after the 1.6 update.
• No other known compatibility issues at present (report them to me if you notice any issues though!).
  

Required/Recommended Mods:

The following mods are required to run this mod:

• Extra Map Layers (Needed so the custom maps display correctly)
• Shop Tile Framework (Needed so Morris can help run a shop)
• Custom Kissing Mod (Needed to allow Morris to kiss the farmer pre-marriage -- this may be removed as a requirement soon)
• Custom NPC Exclusions (Needed to keep Morris from doing certain NPC activities)
• Content Patcher (Needed to install almost every single aspect of the mod)
• SMAPI (Needed to install the mod)
  

The following mods are strongly recommended for use with this mod:

• Stardew Valley Expanded (Adds significant amount of content to game, including expanding on the Joja route)
• Reset Terrain Features (Highly recommended if installing mid play through - can remove anything blocking path to Morris's house)
• NPC Map Locations (Necessary for the map tooltips to work and useful if you want to see where NPCs are)
  

Credits:

• FlashShifter for SVE, Morris's house (used and modified with permission), and for creating the version of Morris that this mod uses
• All other mod authors who created mods this mod is dependent on (Pathoschild, aedenthorn, Digus, Esca-MMC, Cherry)
• Owlsear and Herienseo for the Mandarin translation
• Ocxin for the German translation
• Ghjhjr for the Russian translation
• Izziesanti for the Portuguese translation
  

Future Plans:

• 2, 4, and 6 heart CC route events (not added initially as most players will be past 6 hearts by the time the Community Center is completed, but this won't be the case when the mod is installed mid playthrough)
• More translations
  

Questions:

How will this work with SVE?
This mod uses the same identifier to refer to Morris as SVE does, so for all intents and purposes he's the exact same. While Morris would have left the town after completing the Community Center with SVE installed, in this mod he instead stays. Your heart level and history with him will remain, and if you install this mod after Morris has left town he'll come back.

Can I install this mid playthrough?
Yes, but you'll want to install Reset Terrain Features to remove any stray bushes/grass/trees. If Morris has already left Pelican Town, he'll suddenly show up in a house above the bus stop. There won't be an event for this. Any hearts you've already gained with him from SVE will be retained, and you can continue to befriend/romance him.

Is this worth installing if I don't want to marry Morris?
I'd say so (but who wouldn't want to marry Morris?). It adds him as a befriendable character regardless of what route you take and gives him a redemption arc if you choose the Community Center route. If you don't have SVE and don't want to marry Morris,  Morris Redeemed is also a great mod to try.

How does Morris stay in Pelican Town after getting kicked out? What happens?
