About this mod

Yet another mailbox event edit! I tried to make it really in-character with George being a grumpy but not mean old man who is 100% in the right in this situation, and Penny being a somewhat ignorant but fully well-meaning young woman. And the farmer understanding this dynamic :)

The summary:

Spoiler:  
Show
- George isn't tragically asking how he's going to get the letter out of there, he's just grumbling about it being stuck in the back (and at the end of the event notes that he should stop forgetting his reach extender) (the implication is that as Penny approaches he's stuck trying to fish it out, making Penny think she should help);

- George is initially more baffled than mad about what Penny did, and heats up as he keeps talking (and is even more offended by the implication that he can't do things on his own than the physical rudeness, though he doesn't say that);

- It takes Penny some time to understand what exactly went wrong, at first she's just upset that her efforts aren't appreciated for what they're meant to be;

- As the farmer, you have a choice between being nice to Penny in a way that makes her feel better even as you take George's side overall, being mean to Penny in a way that makes her more upset but cheers George up a bit, and choosing to stay out of it. Penny's responses ultimately converge in a way that hopefully naturally segues into the rest of the dialogue;

- After Penny apologizes, George finally cools off and acknowledges that she was just trying to help, although he doesn't either apologize to her (because he was right) or thank her (because he's grumpy and bitter and doesn't like to be reminded of his limitations and how other people perceive him, as well as because he didn't want the help);

- Penny continues to feel bad about what happened, because she's ultimately an empathetic and nice young woman who took this whole situation very personally.

The "we should respect our elders" dialogue plays out the same way as in vanilla.


Unlike my Robin/Demetrius mod, screenshots feature just highlights, not every single thing that happens in the event.

Should be compatible with other mods that edit Penny's dialogue by overwriting them for this specific instance. Not currently including any map changes compatibility - maybe I'll do it on request.

Screenshots feature:
- Diverse Stardew Valley;
- Vintage Interface v2 with its 1.6 fix;
- Font Settings;
- Vibrant Pastoral Recolor with its 1.6 fix;
- Elle's Town Buildings;
- Simple Foliage;
- Portraited Changing Skies;
- Portrait Frame Variations;
- Yellog's Flower Dialogue UI (needs some modifications to work with the above correctly).

Check out my other dialogue mods:
- Demetrius's Tomato Aesthetics (change to the two Robin/Demetrius arguments that allows the farmer to help them reconcile);
- Haley Reads Magazines (change to one specific line Haley says when she decides to try reading books to make her less of a caricature);
- Not In Here By Yourself (small marriage dialogue tweaks that go with polyamory mods);
- Liliet's Multiple Spouses Dialogue Pack (content pack for Multiple Spouse Dialogs: it wasn't updated for 1.6 but still works ok)

Using i18n; maybe someday I'll translate it into Ukrainian and/or Russian, no translations other than English for now.
