Hey, yea this mod does allow you to buy from Pierre on Wednesday's. However, this mod doesn't change what times you're allow to enter buildings at, meaning unless you have a way of getting inside of his store on a Wednesday, you effectively cannot buy from.
I could look into adding an option to remove shop opening times entirely as well, meaning you could then enter those buildings at any time. Though I don't know when I'll continue working on mods, so it may take some time.
oooh, okay so essentially if you can't get in, it really doesn't work for him? i just wanted to be sure i wasn't missing something really dumb and obvious, like a place to click on the outside! no worries, though, if you ever do decide to add that option it'd be nice but i can wait on it <3 just being able to buy from marnie and robin when they're not at their counters is a godsend itself already LOL
Hey, this mod is great but is there a way to make it so it only works if they are in the building? Like the old mod used to? It feels a little over powered to just always have access to their shop even if they are in town. But being able to access it if they are just standing somewhere else in the building makes sense, like they will still serve you if they are around.
Hi, that's not possible and it's very unlikely I'll ever add it as an option. If you want to restrict yourself to only accessing the shops when they're nearby, you can just quickly check if they're around and in case they're not, don't open the shop. I just don't see any reason to adding an extra option for it, as well as changing a big part of the code for an option that barely anyone would use, and is already possible by just not opening the shop menu when you don't see the owner nearby. For most of the shops it doesn't even make sense, because the owner leaves the area when they close the shop.
This is such a funny reply, you were basically like "idk dude use some self control? why would i add that feature when they usually leave the shop when they close???" in a really nice way, lmaoooo
Hey, Robin's store should work just like vanilla (besides being able to open the store 24/7). If you're encountering issues trying to access her store please elaborate further. Do note that, just like in vanilla, you'll have to wait the few days Robin's working on the house to build something else.
Hey, thanks for the quick response! I'm able to open her "store" and buy things like wood or stone. What I'd like to be able to do is make house upgrades or buy new farm buildings. Maybe it is out of scope.
Are you currently upgrading your house or building something already? If not, you should be able to using the mod. Are you able to build while robin is behind the counter? Could you send your SMAPI log?
Im adding another comment!! idk if anyone else is like me and fully exploited the bug at clints to upgrade all of my tools faster bc im impatient, but if there was a way to have that as an option i would really like that. I totally get it if you cant since it was a bug and definitely not the most immerisve form of gameplay :)
ETA: I guess i should specify it was the bug where you could buy tools while he was upgrading one of yours, I would always have him upgrade my trashcan and then go ahead and buy all of the tool upgrades and store the lower tier in a chest in my house lmao
Yeah! it may have just been a bug for me in the original Self Serve mod, but whenever he was upgrading one of my tools (I would always use the trash can) , I would be able to go back into the upgrade tools menu. Rather than Clint being like "your stuff isnt ready yet go away" As long as I had the $$ and the bars for it I would be able to "upgrade" the new tools instantly (basically just buying them from him). It would leave you with the previous version as well as the new one but I would always just stash the old version in a chest I didn't use.
If this makes absolutely no sense please just ignore me lmao!! I really am so grateful for this mod I just hate that Clint takes so long to upgrade stuff lol
Ah, referring to aedenthorn's version, I assume. I did notice a bug report on her page about it but didn't look too deeply into her code and mostly used the same logic the game uses. The only thing I changed was being able to access Clint's shop and geode breaking services while upgrading your tool (this is being added to vanilla soon anyway).
I'll think about adding an option to upgrade things at Clint's yourself without having to wait. I feel like it does fit the mod.
Absolutely no pressure!! I know modding is way more complex than my little pea brain could understand. I just liked being able to get tools faster without just using item spawners lol. Thank you for the work you do!
i have been checking daily for a mod that does this for 1.6, i dont know how i didnt see this immediately. thank you so much for rewriting it, you are an absolute legend!
It's understandable if they just wanted vanilla included. They may not have been playing on expansion mods and adding, as well as maintaining support for it, would just be extra work.
I personally don't mind looking into it and trying to add support for it, but it entirely depends on the mod author.
This is literally one of the most useful mods out there and i have been WAITING for it to start my 1.6 playthrough. The game is literally not playable when half NPCs leave their shop counters unattended 5 out of the 7 hours their store is open(looking at you Marnie).
And then also being closed on Mondays and Tuesdays! For whatever reason, my coop/barn upgrades are always done on Sunday, I go to Marnie slightly too late, then have to wait till Wednesday 😂.

When I updated SMAPI it cleared the log it seems, but also it started working for me now. If it happens again I'll send that.
Appreciate your mod!
Mod is inspired from California, NY, and Chicago.
