V.1.0.2 - 05.19.2025
There's a new face up at the Adventurer's Guild—a young man with a bright pink ponytail. His name's Tea, and he's a family friend of Marlon's from Zuzu city. He's a polite young man, for sure... but he's been having some trouble fitting in. Perhaps you can help him find his place in the valley?
Tea's a self-insert OC that slowly developed a life of his own... I hope you enjoy him. He likes reading, baking, cute things, and the spooks and scares that come with his favorite holiday, Spirit's Eve.
This mod was created as a gift for my wonderful girlfriend, and it's my first time making a full-fledged Stardew mod. Report any bugs you find, and please be patient with me as I stumble my way through making a functional NPC. Thank you!
A wiki page for Tea will be available soon!
FAQ:
> Tea stays at the Adventurer's Guild with Marlon. He can't access town until the rubble blocking the mines is cleared on Spring 5 Y1. Don't worry, he isn't required for the Introductions quest!
Q: Is Tea compatible with SVE / Ridgeside Village / other content-adding mods?
> Tea is compatible with the following mods: SVE, Adventurer's Guild Expanded
> Tea is not compatible with the following mods, but I plan on adding compatibility soon: Ridgeside Village
If you encounter any issues with compatibility, let me know and I'll try to help!
Q: Can I translate your mod?
> Yes! Feel free to translate Tea into any language. (Be aware that more dialogue will be added soon with heart events). Thank you for your interest in my silly little guy :)
Q: I have experience in modding and noticed a way to improve your code / fix a bug!
> Please send me a DM! This is my first time doing anything Stardew or modding-related, and I'm very much stumbling my way through this as I go. I'll appreciate any help I can get.

// There are two portrait sets for Tea: the standard 64x64 sprites included in the base mod and an alternate hi-res set that uses portraiture. I highly recommend using the portraiture sprites, as I'm most proud of them. They are designed to be used with Gigi's Hi-Res Portraits, as my art style matches them, but you can merge them with any set you choose.
INSTALLATION (BASE MOD) :
1. Extract "[CP] Tea.rar"
2. Place the entire "[CP] Tea" folder in your mods folder
> There is a Readme file inside with schedule and other information!
INSTALLATION (CHILD RETEXTURE) :
1. Extract "[CP] Tea NPC Child Retexture.rar"
2. Place the entire "[CP] Tea NPC Child Retexture" folder in your mods folder
INSTALLATION (PORTRAITURE) :
1. Extract "Tea NPC - Portraiture.rar" and open the folder
2. Place all three png files in "Portraiture > Portraits > [folder (ex. Gigi)]"
> You can merge Tea's portraits with a pre-existing set or use them alone (again, I recommend Gigi's portraits for cohesiveness)
