THIS MOD IS NOT FULLY SVE COMPATIBLE
It will load but there is no added content, I haven't fully tested it and there are going to be pathing issues with shedules and heart events. I only fixed the two Gunther glich and made the library load properly. (It's the SVE one with some nessesary tweaks since some of the tiles were missing.)

21.03 update 

I finally fixed his dialogue. I haven't added him into the new festivals, since I didn't play through them yet. 
If you play on older versions of Stardew Valley and want to update the mod, just download the old and new versions and change the older versions manifest.json file with the one in the newer version, should work fine.



I  recommend playing with him since day one, on a new playthrough because he has a pretty important line on spring 2 year 1.

Warning: There is a pretty strong possibility that some of his dialogue questions might not work correctly since I didn't have the time to check all of it in game. Please notify me when you see anything out of the ordinany.
About the character:
  • Isaiah is a museum worker/librarian who moved into town couple years before you. He is passionate about history and in his free time listens to metal music to wind down. 
  • He is very akward at the begining, although he warms up to the player over the course of his heart events. 
  • Isaiah has a lot of dialouge about the history and lore of the Valley. Most of it is revealed if he is gifted an artifact. He has a unique response for all artifacts. (Except the Dwarf Scrolls, which share the same one, and the Island Field Office ones, since they're not technically artifacts.) He will refuse them as a gift and tell you a couple lines about them. 
  • He has one delivery quest at 3 hearts, but the letter will only show up two days after reaching enough FP.
  • His story and dialouge are pretty light hearted to fit in with the game's theme. Although there is one sort of mature joke in his room.
Heart events:
  • 2 heart- Enter the library between 8:00 and 16:00.
  • 4 heart- Enter the mines between 18:00 and 24:00. Must have seen the 2 heart event.
  • 6 heart- Enter the library between 8:00 and 16:00. Must have seen the 4 heart event.
  • 6 heart Isaiah, 4 heart Penny- Enter the library between 9 and 11 on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday.
  • 8 heart- Enter the library between 8:00 and 16:00. Must have seen the normal 6 heart event.
  • 10 heart- Enter the mountains between 20:00 and 24:00, after receving a letter (which will show up 2 days after reaching 10 hearts). Must have seen the 8 heart event.
  • 13 heart- Enter the railroad between 18:00 and 24:00, on a rainy day.
  • 14 heart- Exit the farmhouse between 6:10 and 24:00. Must have seen the 13 heart event.

Gift Tastes:
  • Loved: fried mushroom, sunflower, green tea, roasted hazelnut, morel, parsnip soup, chanterelle,
  • Liked: honey, quartz, tea leaves, red mushroom, common mushroom, purple mushroom,
  • Disliked: mango, coffee, triple shot espresso, all milk, all eggs,
  • Hate: caviar, aged roe, all fish, all fish recipies,

Things to  fix or add in the future:
  • I need to add him to the new festivals.
  • He still has no door to his bedroom.
  • You can walk through walls in his room. (SVE version only)
  • Shelves not interactable in his spouse room, and his room in the library. (SVE version) 

Possible mod conflicts:
  • Will conflict with any other mod that changes the layout of the library.
  • Might conflict with other custom NPC.
  • There is one dialouge line for Penny in this Content Pack, so a mod that changes Penny's dialouge might override it. It's not a huge issue though, since it's not very important.

Other info:
  • Sorry if there are going to be gramatical and spelling errors, I'm not an native english speaker and the dialouge was kind of a challange to write. I think I fixed them but there are probably more errors left over. 
  • If you're looking to copy the code from this content pack, feel free to do so. It's all over the place, though. Sorry about that, but I don't really know what I was doing.
  • I used Pixel Studio for the pixel art, you can get in for free on steam. Microsoft Visual Studio for making the .json files, it's also free. Tiled to edit map files (free). And XNB Converter Demo for unpacking XNB files.(https://lybell-art.github.io/xnb-js/).
  • If you have any questions you can message me on Nexus Mods or the Stardew Valley Forums, where I'm active under the same username.
