hi, downloader of my little mod!
it's timmy :]

if you're reading this or having this read to you,
you have my gratitude and my blessings :D

here's the instructions as said on the forum from the
comfort of your desktop!

Instructions in

3,
2,
1.

here we go!

1. navigate to your Stardew Valley Contents folder.

( e.g. for PC - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\
common\Stardew Valley\Content )
( im sorry mac or linux users, idk :[ )

2. search for the .xnb files :
( as shown : "folder name" > "file name".xnb )

Portraits > Shane.xnb
Character > Shane.xnb
Character > Shane_JojaMart.xnb

3. back them up in a separate content backups folder, if you
wanna, you do you.

tips : - model your backups folder similar to that of the
Content folder, so you don't confuse or replace
anything in the future.
- don't forget to copy ! hold the "ctrl" key while
dragging the file. you really don't want missing
assets that crash your game.

4. now replace these specific .xnb files with your newly
downloaded .xnb files from your's truly :]

tip : it's nice to have a separate mod folder too to store
your downloaded files, so you know what's what running
in your game.

5. you're all set to run the game and enjoy your husbandos
or waifus or mutuals !

note : you can revert back by simply replacing the current
.xnb files in the Content folder with your backed-up
ones. Remember to copy !! CTRL CTRL CTRLLLLLL !

( and yeah it sucks when you have low storage data, keep a
notepad checklist in that case and manage !!! )

end of instructions.
