The latest update from Overgrown Flowery Interface has removed the Kitty Channels feature. Therefore, you will need to download Kitty Channels and this mod instead.
For those who use Stardew Valley Expanded, please check the optional files for compatibility
If you encounter any issues with this mod, feel free to let me know in the comments here. I'll do my best to fix them or provide an explanation for any problems you encounter. If needed, I can also create additional compatibility files to address specific issues. <3
Hi! I'm so sorry for the late update to the compatibility patch (I've been busy with real-life problems TT). After checking the mod, I can confirm that Weather Wonders works perfectly fine with this mod. You can see our adorable kitty weather without any problems.
Are you perhaps asking for the same aesthetic for the new icon in Weather Wonders? Because, as you know, in this mod, the icon on the TV is without a background, while the one in Weather Wonders has a background like the vanilla style. If you are asking for the same aesthetic icon for Weather Wonders, then I'll try to make one.
Oh, yes, that's what I meant. For when the TV channel goes to the desert, it was a man instead of a kitty. Only if that feels fun for you! I know that's a lot of work.
Thanks for letting me know about the TV on Ginger Island reverting back to a man instead of a kitty. I hadn't checked the TV on Ginger Island before. I'll investigate the issue and try to create an icon with the same aesthetic, although I can't promise it will be done soon. Thank you for your understanding.
Oh, it wasn't the island, they added a second channel for weather at the desert. Sometimes when you look at the TV, it'll give you a menu and you can choose to watch the desert weather.
Stardew Valley Expanded updated and replaced the television pics. The file is called VanillaCursors.png in *\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods\Stardew Valley Expanded\[CP] Stardew Valley Expanded\assets\Tilesheets
And just to let you know, the cursors.png you put up for the DWI compatibility files is still vanilla tv screens
Oops, my mistake! I mistakenly added the wrong file for the 'cursors.png' in the Natural Dark Wood Interface compatibility files. I'll upload the correct files shortly.
Also, thank you for informing me about the SVE update that replaces the 'cursors.png'. I'll create compatibility files as soon as possible.
You're welcome! I am able to modify the files myself, but I know some people aren't as savvy with image manipulation. If you would like, I am happy to share my copy for SVE compatibility
Sorry for the late upload, I've been busy preparing for job application's test. Thank you for offering the edits you made, I regret that I had already finalized my version before seeing your comment here. Again, thank you for enjoying my mod here^^
No, not all interfaces will be incompatible with this mod. This mod works perfectly fine on the Earthy Interface and the Overgrown Flowery Interface. It's just that the Natural Dark Wood Interface includes changes to the whole things. I'll create compatibility files, similar to the ones for Seasonal Outfits.
Hi, thanks for making this and for including clear instructions! I use seasonal outfits and I was confused for a minute until I actually read the information provided and everything was super easy, haha.
Would it be possible to get compatibility for UI info suite? The weather info displayed now looks like this:
Disabling this mod fixes it. It's not a huge deal if not though and thanks again for making this fix/update!
Hey there! I'm happy to hear that the information I shared was clear for you. Those features you pointed out are actually intentional; it's the way Mara (the original creator of Kitty Channels) designed the mod, with a transparent background. But, if you'd like, I could create a version with a background instead ^^
Hi! I'm sorry, but I can't create the version with background because after I tried it, it didn't fit well with the background in the weather kitty.
Still, I can confirm that it is not a bug and not UI Info Suite 2's fault. It's just how the icon in UI Info Suite 2 works; it takes the icon from the tile sheet that is the same one being used in the weather kitty channels. So, if I make the background version, it will affect the overall weather kitty channels too, and it won't fit the aesthetic. Therefore, sadly, we need to keep it as it is. I hope you understand.
Hi there! Just wanted to confirm, are you referring to this Cute Valley mod? Because upon downloading and checking its content.json file, I couldn't find any changes related to the TV channels, nor any assets specifically for TV channels. Are you sure you're not mistaking Kitty Channels for Kitty Scarecrow? Because those are completely different from each other. And for Cute Valley it is has Kitty Scarecrow includes, not Kitty Channels includes.
If you're not referring to this Cute Valley mod, please provide me with the link to the mod that you mean. ^^
Hi! Well I thought it was 'Cute Valley' giving me the kitty channels but I can see now like you said that it isn't that. I don't have the 'Kitty Channels' mod so I am confused now as to what mod is giving me the kitty channels lol.
EDIT: I just realised its 'Overgrown Flowery Interface' that's Giving me the Kitty channels! So do I just install the fix file only as I have kitty channels included with this mod?
As I suspected, it's indeed the Overgrown Flowery Interface mod that provides Kitty Channels XD.
However, as stated in the description, I've added Kitty Channels as a requirement in the content.json of this mod, which I did as a symbol of gratitude to the original author of Kitty Channels (who also created Overgrown Flowery Interface). So, yes, you still need to have Kitty Channels installed, and remember to turn off the toggle for Kitty Channels in Overgrown Flowery Interface.
Ah ok! So just to clarify I need to download the Kitty Channels mod separately and turn off the setting for it in the version that's included in Overgrown flowery interface for this to work, correct?
I remember for Kitty Channels to work originally, you needed to delete the "cursor" files from "Seasonal Outfits" (posts p3, comment 4). Is this still needed? Or do I need to disable the ExtraNPCs (posts p1, comment 8)? Or has this issue been resolved?
First of all, I just want to clarify a little misunderstanding here. The issues you're mentioning are not caused by Kitty Channels. It's actually due to the Seasonal Outfits mod, which doesn't make specific changes and instead replaces the entire cursor tilesheet. I can understand why the author of Seasonal Outfits did that, as it simplifies the process given the numerous changes it contains.
I can offer you some solutions. The first solution is to follow the steps you mentioned, but it comes with side effects: some extra NPCs won't have the same aesthetic.
The second solution is to merge the image from Kitty Channels with the one from Seasonal Outfits. I can provide you with the image. This means replacing the one that Seasonal Outfits currently has. Please wait a little bit, and once it's done, I'll put it in the optional file. ^^
Ah sorry, I hadn't meant to imply this (or that) mod was the issue, just that the issue existed ^^' I just wasn't sure if you had somehow found a way around that was all. I love the kitty channels, and I can't wait to see the new event (whenever the game decides to show it to me T_T)
No worries at all! I didn't mean to sound rude either. You probably noticed that the Kitty Channel also changes the entire tilesheet. Unfortunately, since I can't update the entire mod without permission, we'll have to leave it as it is. I've uploaded the compatibility file and included an instruction.png for guidance on how to replace it. Once again, my apologies for any inconvenience caused!

Your way is definitely easier
