About this mod

Allows you to customize the pet names your spouse may call you to whatever you'd like! Also allows optional customization for the Stardrop dialogue.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Have you ever been called a pet name by your spouse that just made you stop and think "they wouldn't say that"? You can't convince me Sebastian would ever call his s/o "ducky", same as how Elliott would never say "hot stuff". If you're like me and Stardew's default pet names have become more of a pet peeve, then this is the mod for you! 

Without any editing, this mod will not have any changes on it's own, keeping to the default pet names; that's because it's intended to be completely customizable! In the content.json file, this is what you'll find: 

"Changes": [
{
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Strings/StringsFromCSFiles",
"Entries": {
"NPC.cs.4507": "Pookie",
"NPC.cs.4508": "Love",
"NPC.cs.4509": "Hot Stuff",
"NPC.cs.4510": "Cuddlebug",
"NPC.cs.4511": "Hunky",
"NPC.cs.4512": "Peach", 
"NPC.cs.4513": "Cutie",
"NPC.cs.4514": "Ducky",
"NPC.cs.4515": "Handsome",
"NPC.cs.4516": "Darling",
"NPC.cs.4517": "Honey",
"NPC.cs.4518": "Dear",
"NPC.cs.4519": "Sweetie",
"NPC.cs.4522": "Hun",
"NPC.cs.4523": "Sweetheart",
},
},

This is every default pet name in the game that spouses may randomly pull from in instances of expecting a child and randomly buying houseplants, among others. You don't mind Alex calling you "hot stuff", but absolutely loathe "peach"? You only have to edit the pet names you want to change. 

If you have a pet name that you really love and you want to increase the odds of that one getting chosen, you can use it for multiple slots! I'll include my personal edit as an example - these are the pet names I've set for my spouse, Shane:

"Changes": [
{
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Strings/StringsFromCSFiles",
"Entries": {
"NPC.cs.4507": "Sunshine",
"NPC.cs.4508": "Bud",
"NPC.cs.4509": "Honey",
"NPC.cs.4510": "Chickpea",
"NPC.cs.4511": "Bugaboo",
"NPC.cs.4512": "Peach", 
"NPC.cs.4513": "Sunshine",
"NPC.cs.4514": "Bud",
"NPC.cs.4515": "Honey",
"NPC.cs.4516": "Chickpea",
"NPC.cs.4517": "Honey",
"NPC.cs.4518": "Sunshine",
"NPC.cs.4519": "Bugaboo",
"NPC.cs.4522": "Bud",
"NPC.cs.4523": "Chickpea",
},
},

As you can see, I basically just looped the same few pet names, leaving a couple defaults that I felt still fit for him. Feel free to edit your file according to your spouse and your personal headcanons. And yes, this works for modded spouses too!
