About this mod
"Pam and Gus Get a Happy Ending" adds 7 unique heart events for Pam and Gus, showing their romance progressing from friendship to marriage and moving in. The heart event progression depends on your heart level with both Pam and Gus, and each event can only be triggered if the previous event has been viewed (so everything is shown to you in order and you won't miss anything). I focused on keeping everything canon-compliant and lore-friendly in both the events and the dialogue.

🌟 UPDATE 1.6: Currently enjoying the new update without mods; will start testing soon!

Why Pam and Gus?
I made this for myself because I wanted to see more of their relationship and how it could have been. I'm sharing it here because there might be other players who feel the same way. (I'm looking at you, authors of the four fics where this pairing is tagged on AO3!)

I also hope this is the beginning of a "Rare Hearts" event series for some of the less appreciated residents and pairings of Pelican Town.

Events
Information about how to trigger each of the events in this mod, including day, time, location, and requirements.

  • Event 1
    Spoiler:  
    Show
    Enter the Stardrop Saloon any day between 6pm and midnight. Requires 1 heart with both Pam and Gus.
  • Event 2 
    Spoiler:  
    Show
    Enter town between 9pm and 2am on any sunny day except Wednesday or Sunday. This event won't trigger until you've seen Pam and Gus's 1-heart event and have 2 hearts with both Pam and Gus.
  • Event 3 
    Spoiler:  
    Show
    Enter the Stardrop Saloon between 8am and 5pm on any weekday (not Friday, Saturday, or Sunday). The saloon doesn't open until noon, so you may not be able to enter until then. This event won't trigger until you've seen Pam and Gus's 2-heart event and have 5 hearts with both Pam and Gus.
  • Event 4
    Spoiler:  
    Show
    Enter the Stardrop Saloon any day between 6pm and midnight. This event won't trigger until you've seen Pam and Gus's 5-heart event and have 6 hearts with both Pam and Gus.
  • Event 5
    Spoiler:  
    Show
    Enter the Stardrop Saloon between 10am and 5pm on any weekday (not Friday, Saturday, or Sunday). This event won't trigger until you've seen Pam and Gus's 6-heart event and have 7 hearts with both Pam and Gus.
  • Event 6
    Spoiler:  
    Show
    Enter town between 10pm and 2am on any sunny weekday (not Friday, Saturday, or Sunday). This event won't trigger until you've seen Pam and Gus's 7-heart event and have 8 hearts with both Pam and Gus.
  • Event 7
    Spoiler:  
    Show
    Enter the Stardrop Saloon between 8am and 5pm any day of the week. This event won't trigger until you've seen Pam and Gus's 8-heart event and Pam's official 9-heart event, have 10 hearts with both Pam and Gus, and have completed Pam's Community Upgrade. Important: You must also select "married" using GMCM or manually change "unmarried" to "married" in the mod's config file. If you don't do this, the event won't trigger. Note: 1-2 days after this event, Pam and Gus's schedules will be altered, Gus will move into with Pam, and new dialog will start showing up.


Config Options
The configuration options currently available for this mod. They can be changed using GMCM (optional) or by manually editing the values in the mod config file.
  • Version: Use "Version: unmarried" initially. When you're ready for them to get married and live together, switch to "married" some time after seeing Event 6, whenever it feels appropriate for you in-game. They won't immediately move in together; there are some other conditions that must be met, which are listed in the Event 7 spoiler above.
  • SVE: Default is "no," which means Stardew Valley Expanded is not installed. If you do have SVE installed, select "yes" to use the SVE-compatible versions of Pam and Gus's schedules.

Note: A config file will be generated after you open Stardew Valley via SMAPI for the first time after installing this mod.

Compatibility
  • Compatible with Stardew Valley Expanded, Ridgeside Village, and East Scarp
  • Probably not be compatible with mods that allow you to romance Pam or Gus, especially if they change their dialogue or schedules.
  • Not tested in a late game save, so please let me know if you find any issues.

Future Plans
  • Internationalization
  • More dialog updates
  • More family-oriented heart events for Pam, Penny, and Gus (+ the player if married to Penny)
  • More content around Pam's recovery from substance/alcohol use disorder and Pam and Penny working on their relationship
  • Mocktails

Acknowledgements
This mod was inspired in part by zoedoll's excellent Ridgeside Rival Hearts - Jeric and Alex mod, as well as the excellent community of mod makers on the Stardew Valley discord server.

Trigger warnings
Drinking, being drunk and disoriented, alcohol use disorder (alcoholism)

Note: This is a work of fiction. Fiction and reality are very different. It isn't meant to be an in-depth examination of alcohol use disorder or recovery/sobriety. It's focused on the relationship between Pam and Gus with some lightly recovery-related heart events that are more like glimpses into the process. It shouldn't be looked to for any kind of guidance around recovery or even as a good example of what that might look like in the real world.

If you or someone you love needs help with alcohol use disorder, you can call the SAMHSA National Helpline for free, confidential help at 1-800-662-4357.
