About this mod
Translation to English and 1.6 Update patch for reque's Custom NPC Nari. Config options for minor immersion tweaks beyond the scope of translation.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Nari is a fun, helpful, and mysterious character whose story I would describe as a metafictional romantic tragedy. The original mod is available on Nexus in both Korean and Chinese versions (and on Naver Café in the original Korean), but hasn't yet been updated to 1.6.
This mod does a number of things:
I have also drawn a vanilla-style portrait that I recommend if you don't want to or can't use the original HD portrait. The optional immersion tweaks in particular are designed to use my version of portraits, and the impact will be lessened by using a portrait with less emotional variance. There are however some very pretty HD portraits linked on the mod's Naver Café page. Please try not to look closely at the portrait files before using the mod, as the last few portraits contain spoilers. I have excluded those portraits from the mod preview images!
There is a CP version and two .JSON replacement versions of this mod.
Please pay attention to the requirements and installation instructions for each, as they are different.
1.6 Update + Bug-Fix
❗️There was one bug that I was unable to fix in the CP version of this mod, and was only able to fix in the JSON replacement versions. I still recommend the CP version for its' immersion tweaks, so I offer the following suggestions / options:
I only updated what was necessary for the mod to function fully in its current state. I understand that Requeksm does have intentions to update and possibly expand the original mod, with a completely unknown-to-me timeline, but I have no desire to step on their toes.
Specifically, I updated CP format versions, converted character info from the old dispositions system, resolved some conflicting Load patches, and troubleshot some broken dialogue. I specifically did not convert to i18n or replace deprecated event preconditions that were still functional.
Immersion Options
My optional immersion tweaks can be configured in the Generic Mod Config Menu, or you can edit the 'config.json' file that is created the first time you run the mod. All options are 'true' by default but can be set to 'false' to turn that immersion feature off.
All immersion tweaks are based on my personal perceptions of Nari and her story, and are not necessarily reflective of the original author's intent. That said, I aimed to make as few assumptions as possible, and rather than adding anything new to her story I have tried to apply her story to fill a few gaps that may have been overlooked, or created by game updates.
There are four features that you can turn on or off. Details of the changes made by each option are under spoilers.
SocialFeatures
How Nari is unlocked, and which social features are enabled.
DialogueTweaks
Additional dialogue to avoid generic responses.
EventTweaks
Minor event edits, such as making use of a wider range of portraits.
ScheduleTweaks
Add a light schedule so Nari moves around a bit.
Requirements
For the CP version + JSON replacement (1.6 version):
For the JSON replacement (legacy version):
the JSON replacement (legacy version) is a translation and bug-fix only, provided for users not yet on 1.6. I cannot attest to compatibility.
Installation Instructions
CP version:
JSON replacement versions:
Portraits for all versions:
The original mod uses HD portraits which require additional steps:
If you don't want to use portraiture and the original portrait, I recommend my Vanilla Nari Portrait mod.
Event Guide
‼️ Please be aware that this mod contains some noise, glitch, and error effects, forced dialogue choices, a birthday event that becomes unviewable after a certain point, and a final event that . For this reason it's recommended to view event information.
~~ if you have the SocialFeatures immersion tweak enabled, Nari is unlocked by the 0❤️ event ~~
~~ if you wish to see the Birthday event you must view it before the 8❤️ events ~~
~~ be prepared - the player character is forced to be mean to Nari in the 8❤️ events ~~
~~ after the 10❤️ event, Nari's dialogue becomes fixed and she is no longer giftable ~~

Translation FAQ
What makes you qualified to translate this mod?
Did you use AI?
Why make a new translation?
What is the difference between this and the other translation?
What if I notice something wrong?
Please let me know if something is buggy or some dialogue looks wrong. While I have tried to use American English spelling and word choice to fit in with the game, my spellchecker and I use New Zealand English spelling, so something may have slipped through. I was also unable to test every scenario. If you are reporting a bug, please include a SMAPI log.

1.6 Update + Bug-Fix
❗️There was one bug that I was unable to fix in the CP version of this mod, and was only able to fix in the JSON replacement versions. I still recommend the CP version for its' immersion tweaks, so I offer the following suggestions / options:
Spoiler:
OR
OR
Show
- Beginner way:
- Download and use the CP version, but additionally apply one of the replacement versions (1.6 is best but either one will do). The file you specifically want to replace is the 'content.json' file.
OR
- Advanced way:
- Open the content.json file of the original mod (Notepad or TextEdit is fine), find the following patch (block of code):
{
"LogName": "Dialogue 1",
"Action": "Load",
"Target": "Characters/Dialogue/Nari",
"FromFile": "dialogue/Nari1.json",
"When": {"HasSeenEvent": "9654906"},
},
- Make sure it matches exactly - it must be the "Dialogue 1" block, not another dialogue block.
- Copy the following line of code, and paste it so it replaces the "When" line in the content.json file (use ctrl-c and ctrl-v).
"When": {"HasSeenEvent |contains=9654906": true,"HasSeenEvent |contains=9654908": false},
- Make sure you didn't change anything other than that one line, then save the content.json.
OR
- Lazy way:
- Just use the CP mod and don't worry about it. There is one dialogue file that will fail to load and you will see errors in your SMAPI console after the 10❤️, but the overall experience of a missing dialogue file will be similar to the limited interactions caused by the event (see the event guide below). If you want to read the dialogue lines or see the portraits, open the "dialogue/NariEnd.json" file, and refer to the last two pictures on the portrait sheet. Please wait until AFTER you have seen the 10 heart event before doing this.
I only updated what was necessary for the mod to function fully in its current state. I understand that Requeksm does have intentions to update and possibly expand the original mod, with a completely unknown-to-me timeline, but I have no desire to step on their toes.

SocialFeatures
How Nari is unlocked, and which social features are enabled.
Spoiler:
Nari will be hidden from the calendar and social tab until you have met her.
You will not meet her until you have viewed the 0❤️ event. (This event is very easy to trigger, and sets the scene well).
Nari can no longer visit the island, but I have shifted the single line of dialogue used in that case to the Green Rain Day.
Friendship with Nari will not be a requirement for perfection, and she will not appear in the end credits slide show.

DialogueTweaks
Additional dialogue to avoid generic responses.
Spoiler:
Added dialogue for a handful of keys which could otherwise trigger generic responses, such as being hit by a slingshot, dumpster diving, accepting birthday gifts or rejecting bouquets, mermaid pendants, and movie tickets. Nari will not be able to go to the movies.

EventTweaks
Minor event edits, such as making use of a wider range of portraits.
Spoiler:
Nari will show slightly greater variation in facial expressions in events, which are particularly calibrated to my Vanilla-style Nari Portraits.
Mr.Qi will show more appropriate facial expressions in the events he appears in, rather than grinning through everything.
Built in compatibility with extended MrQi portrait sheets from Friendable Mr.Qi and Mister Qi is a Real NPC.

ScheduleTweaks
Add a light schedule so Nari moves around a bit.
Spoiler:
Nari will mostly stay close to her spawn location in the mountains, but she will now move between a few different spots randomly throughout the day.
When it rains, she will shelter by the Adventurer's Guild, if the way there is clear..
After her 8❤️ events she will spend Fridays in the Forest, or, in Summer, on the Beach.

Translation FAQ
What makes you qualified to translate this mod?
Spoiler:
Literally nothing. I do not speak Korean. I know I'm not the ideal candidate for this job. However - I have studied linguistics and multiple languages formally and informally. I'm deeply interested in languages and aware of the complexities of translation. I'm a well educated and well travelled native English speaker. I'm extremely meticulous and thorough. I use triangulation methods such as multiple translation sources, backwards translations, translating text at multiple levels (paragraph, sentence, word, morphemes + graphemes as required!), reference to other translated versions, web searches, forum posts and websites linking native speakers to language learners, and anything else I can think of to make sure that the translation is as accurate as it can be. If I get even a whiff of a cultural reference or strange phrase I'll be looking up idioms or reading folklore. I cross reference with Stardew's official translations and make sure I understand the in-game context of dialogue. I go back on translations I've already marked as done and revise them as I've seen repeating motifs or achieve a greater understanding of the characters. I'm proficient enough in CP to not break a mod in the course of translation.
I do my due diligence, and then some.

Did you use AI?
Spoiler:
Short answer: yes. I used a triangulation of Naver Papago (excellent for Korean), DeepL, and Google Translate. I did NOT just throw the whole file in a translator, give it a cursory glance, and say good to go. I understand the reluctance to use AI in translation (and as an Artist, I'm firmly against AI in Art), but I find careful use of AI as one of the few acceptable uses of AI. Please also read my answer to the above question for more context.

Why make a new translation?
Spoiler:
There is another English translation of this mod on Nexus. I looked at it. I considered using it. But it didn't meet my standards. It's true I have high standards, but there were errors and comprehension issues in the other translation that I could not overlook, and some places where AI output has clearly been used without correction.

What is the difference between this and the other translation?
Spoiler:
I can say with confidence that my translation is more thoroughly edited, and less buggy. My mod is more up to date. There are some differences arising from the fact that they translated the Chinese version of the mod, while I translated the original Korean. They have also made some more comprehensive changes, including a schedule that I believe conflicts with some of the dialogue, and a couple of completely re-written events (I don't know if these were written by the translator or translated from a version no longer available). The re-written events are fine, but they deviate further from the original mod than I was willing to go with my translation and immersion tweaks.
