So I tried this mod. Upgraded to the Super Backpack and played a few days. I couldn't get use to having to scroll the backpack to see everything, so I emptied my inventory into a chest and removed the mod. Now I've still got 4 rows in my backpack and still have to scroll. What do I have to do to get my 3 row backpack back? Edit: The save files are just xml files, so I was able to remove the extra row - just had to change the <maxItems> entry back to 36 and remove 12 items (empty slots) from the <items> collection. You have to make the same change to both files.
I generally stick with Bigger Backpack. https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1845 It only adds 1 extra row (for a four row backpack), so no scrolling. And to be honest, i feel 48 slots is the sweet spot. The only time you fill the 48 slots is in the skull cavern and even then its not a big deal.
Thank you!! This has been bugging me too for the longest time! I was able to put <maxitems> back to 36 but where do you remove the 12 items(empty slots)?
Any chance, that you could make this mod compatible with Bigger Backpack by spacechase0? I know it might sound redundant, but I really like having the 4th inventory row from that mod displayed before I have to start scrolling.
Suggestion. Ways to upgrade the backpack from places other than Pierre.
Such as: Jumino/Forest Creature/Hat Mouse which requests progressively harder bundles. Joja Mart Desert Merchant, in exchange for jewels Wizard with "Bags of Holding" Adventurer Guild in exchange for killing enough monsters ... General merchants added by other mods, like Ridgeside Village
And so on.
It would allow people to boycott Pierre. Even better if the other backpacks could have their own display sprites. Joja would definitely plaster their brand on it. Jumino would look natural.
Once the first row of my backpack is full, I can't hold any more items. It is possible to use the original capacity only if I manually keep the first row empty. As mentioned in several past posts, I am also using Better Chest. But even after removing it, the problem was not resolved.
I'm currently using spacechase0's Bigger Backpack mod but want to swap it out for this one. Is there built in compatibility for the 48 slot backpack it adds or will it conflict unless I uninstall that mod first? I'm assuming the latter but hoping for the former.
I'm actually using both right now with no problems, so I have Bigger Backpack's four-row UI with this mod's little plus sign to expand the visible slots once I bought the fifth and sixth row upgrades 👍🏻
ETA: sometimes when I go to ship items the hitbox bugs a little bit and clicking on row 1 tries to ship items from row 2 (or whatever) BUT all I have to do is scroll down and then scroll back up to fix it, so not really a problem.
Hey Pasha, just wondering if there was any editing or configuring you had to do make Bigger Backpacks four-row UI also work with these upgrades or did that happen naturally with the two installed? And thanks for sharing this tip to begin with! 😊
CawCroche I didn't do any editing or anything, just ran them both at the same time to see what would happen lol. I did buy the fourth row upgrade before I installed this mod though so IDK if that would have any impact on things

broken in 1.6.9 :(it seems to have an incompatibility with better chestsSuch as:
Jumino/Forest Creature/Hat Mouse which requests progressively harder bundles.
Joja Mart
Desert Merchant, in exchange for jewels
Wizard with "Bags of Holding"
Adventurer Guild in exchange for killing enough monsters

Feel free to use it if you like them, or to ask if you want any other tweaks for them.
