I'm glad to hear that! I made this to spec with PathosChild's excellent ContentPatcher, but it's been a while, so I'm very glad it still works! Thanks for letting me know! ?
Hey there, I don't check Nexus a lot (and don't seem to get notifications about comments to my email), and I haven't played Stardew in a while; can you tell me what needs to be updated? In general, I didn't think there'd be breaking changes to Content Patcher packs.
Oh my, they're SO CUTE. I also have a weak spot fot he harvest moon animals, since it was the first farming game I played. To be sincere, the SNES one was my first, so SUPER DUPER WEAK SPOT!!!!!! I really hope that you do custom sprites for the other animals, these are gorgeous!
Yay, I'm glad you like it! I haven't played this game in quite a while, but I may do some others if I ever go back to it! I probably need to update the pack to match latest specs at this rate anyhow; I'm sure Pathos has made a lot of updates. :P
Ooh, are you gonna make an HM version of the new 'Rose Cow' mod?? I was just about to mess around in Aseprite using your HM models, but I didn't know if that wouldn't be a bit cheatish haha. Thank you for this mod, btw, it is one of my ~essentials~.
I don't have any plans to do that; that is a pretty small mod. It would just be a color shift though, pretty easy to add yourself, provided the mod uses its own assets. I'm glad you like it!
You're most welcome! I love when people are excited by stuff like this! And the dog was a huge pain in the ass, a lot of custom work on my part, lol. Glad you like it! <3
Are you having an issue getting this to work on 1.4? Please report the error you're getting. This is a ContentPatcher mod, so as long as you have the latest SMAPI and ContentPatcher, it should be working fine.
Sorry for my op. I was multitasking like crazy. I was under the impression at the time that mods had to be on moddrop to work now. I know this isn't the case now but on that note, could you add to moddrop? Its just nice to stay auto updated.
I'd never heard of it before, and looking at it, most of the mods on there are outdated. Unless adoption increases, I'm not interested. I just use Vortex to auto-update from this website. In any case, this should work with 1.4, but you have to pick the original dog. Next update will include options for replacing specific/all dogs.
Please make all of the rest of the animals too (geese, bunnies, goats, pigs)! I love these.
Also if your mod is Content Patcher compatible, can you make it more clear? My other mods say [CP] before the file name to indicate this, and also indicate the compatibility in the title of the listing. It makes the mod more desirable for people to download when it's drop-and-go.
I'm also a little confused about who created these cows because there's two other listings for these exact cows on this website, and they are not as complete as this mod, so are those people who copied this mod? You can probably petition to have them removed if this is your original work.
These animals are the taken from the original Harvest Moon for the SNES from 1996. That's why they appear in more than one mod, and that's also why we probably won't see any skins for bunnies or pigs - they don't exist in that game. So the author would have to create them from scratch.
It will likely be a while before I do that. A lot of those animals in Harvest Moon were 3D or drawn, so I'd have to do some custom pixel work, which can take a lot of time. So, it's a potentially far-future goal.
What do you mean? Content Patcher is listed/linked to in the requirements section for this mod, which is a field provided by Nexus. I'm not sure if I'll change the title, but I'll consider it. If there's some other field I can edit to make compatibility more clear and include them in a list, I can do that, especially if another mod is provided as an example.
As blablasuelz said, these are from Harvest Moon. However, I've modified mine in a few ways, and other mods may not be as complete because I edited work from a few games/sources (and the dog especially required a lot of finessing to get right). So this should be the most complete. If it has any of my *exact* sprites, then they stole them from this. Link me?
Also I read back what I wrote and I think I meant that in the mod list, the Content Patcher compatible mods usually have [CP] written in front of the file name. Like the file folder would be named "[CP] Mopsys Harvest Moon Animals"
Hey, thanks for the links! Yeah, those appear to just be pulled from the HM games; mine are different. :)
I'm working on getting my SDV instance updated today, and while I was under the impression ContentPatcher mods wouldn't need to be updated, I'll update this if it's necessary. The other modders in the Discord agreed with the [CP] header -- this is a convention that hadn't yet formed when I was around, but I'm down to change to it. That said, is it actually the *folder* name in the mod's folder, or just the mod's reported name? I've seen most mod folder names avoid special characters and spaces.
I think it's just the name of the folder. I don't see the [CP] in SMAPI when I load up my game.
You could also change the title of the mod on this page to say Mopsy's Harvest Moon Animals (Content Patcher Compatible) or something like it, if you wanted to. It might make the mod more appealing to people who are looking for easy-to-use Content Patcher mods instead of the ones you have to locate and swap files for.

Here's a screenshot: (Mine looks slightly different because I'm working on an update, but I think it should just be called "Dog"
