About this mod
Simple tweaks to tree and grass sprites, preserving ConcernedApe's style while making some small adjustments to enhance visual clarity, consistency, and aesthetics. For vanilla colour schemes only!
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
I love CA's pixel style, I find it wonderfully charming, but there have always been a few things that bugged me here and there. I've had these adjusted on my end for ages--but these have all been private mods up until now! I've finally decided to combine them into one pack and release them into the wild. The changes are as follows:
Trees
- Slight adjustments to colouration for Spring and Fall trees, using palettes sourced from the (much nicer!) tree colour variants seen as decorations outside the playable area on outdoor maps
Grasses
- Hand-edited grass sprites for all grass variants and seasons
Compatibility Notes:
- Will only be compatible with vanilla colour schemes.
- Not compatible (and will not be remade to be compatible) with any overhaul/redraw/recolour mods.
- Will not apply to any new sprites added by other mods.
- Will not play nice with other mods that edit the same files (trees, fruit trees, and grass mods).
Installation:
- Extract .zip into the Mods folder located inside your Stardew Valley install. Done!
Uninstallation:
- Delete the [CP] Vanilla Vegetation Tweaks folder from your Stardew Valley\Mods folder.
Acknowledgements:
- thank you again to JefGrizli for graciously allowing their mod to be used as a free modder's resource; I downloaded your mod pretty much as soon as you dropped it, and being able to fold it into my personal edits was ideal! you're a star 🌟
thanks for visiting! happy farming (:
Trees
- Slight adjustments to colouration for Spring and Fall trees, using palettes sourced from the (much nicer!) tree colour variants seen as decorations outside the playable area on outdoor maps
- Fall maple trees are a warmer, less magenta-looking red
- Fall pine trees are a warmer green and their trunks are a much richer, darker brown
- Fall mahogany trees are less washed-out, with darker shadows to more closely resemble the rest of the original pre-1.5 trees
- Spring cherry trees are no longer electric neon magenta and are instead a gentler, more Spring-y pink
- Minor edits to many other fruit tree varieties to increase/reduce contrast for a more cohesive overall look
- Apricot trees edited to have cleaner, less blocky shading, more in line with the other trees
- the moss on Oak trees in Fall, Spring, and Summer has been made to look less like a mysterious, dripping green ooze *
- a few different mosses are now an earthier, warmer green and blended better with the bark underneath so as to look more naturalistic
- fruit trees switch to an icier palette in Winter, lose their leaves, and get snowed on--just like their non-fruit cousins do
- fruit trees in the greenhouse keep their warm-weather colours year-round
- Spring apricot and peach trees bloom in two different pinkish hues (Jef's original colourways, small edits by me where mentioned above)
Grasses
- Hand-edited grass sprites for all grass variants and seasons
- shorter grass by roughly 50% -- just short enough to let you actually see where your chickens are!
- overall original grass shape preserved; length taken from the middle so as not to break the shadows or alter the look of the individual leaves
- retains the same amount of flowers/decorative additions as vanilla
* (I know that that's a real type of moss that exists, but it just looked really weird to me. The valley isn't a rainforest! temperate or otherwise!)
