How to use this mod:

The settings are all in the configuration file. There are two ways to change these settings.

The first way is to install Generic Mod Config Menu (GMCM for short). GMCM is an EXCELLENT mod that lets you control the configuration of almost any other mod in-game. This is very useful, because you can see changes live just a few seconds after you save them. (It usually takes a tick of the in-game clock for changes to show up.) GMCM isn't just useful for my mod, it's useful for any mod that uses a config file. https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5098

The other way is to edit the config file directly. Find a file called "config.json" in the Animal Aging folder and open it with Notepad or any program that can read text. You will see a list of options, such as:

"WhiteChickenAge": "3",
"BrownChickenAge": "3",
"BlueChickenAge": "3",

Simply change the number inside the quotes to the number of days you want it to take for your animals to grow up. The defaults will be the vanilla game numbers (chickens take 3 days, cows take 5 days, etc). You can make this number anywhere between 0 and 255. If you make it 0, all animals of that type you have on your farm will become adults immediately. If set it to 255, it will take 255 days for all animals of that type to become adults from the time of their purchase. So if you've had a white chicken for 120 days and you change the setting to 255 days, from that point on it will take 135 days for that chicken to finish growing up. This counter starts from when each animal was purchased, regardless of when you change the number in the config. Do not make the number higher than 255 or lower than 0, or it will crash your game. WITH THIS METHOD YOU WILL NOT SEE ANY CHANGES UNTIL YOU START YOUR GAME AFTER SAVING THE UPDATED CONFIG FILE.

If you have any problems with the mod, you can delete the config.json file. It will be re-generated upon the next start up with all the numbers set back to default. You should also be able to safely delete the mod, and all animals will go back to their proper growth stage for their age in the game.

Please let me know if you have any questions or issues with the mod.
