Hey there, got a question! i was just wondering, was it hard to code everything? I think you did a very nice job, and just wanted to ask. :3 i also want to make a custom npc, and got no clue how i should start or if its hard or not.
Thanks a lot! i love the way tea looks, especially the different emotions
Hello, thank you for asking! To be honest, I did find it pretty hard, especially because I had no idea where to start! But once I figured out what the basic building blocks were, I started to figure it out.
If you're wanting to make a custom NPC, I'd highly encourage it! It's been a lot of work, but it's a labor of love. Very fun! Miss Coriel's NPC Creator helped me figure out where to start, but it's not updated for 1.6 and is just the bare minimum for what you can accomplish. Like a skeleton you can add on to! From there, I'd recommend looking at other people's custom NPCs (like the ones I have linked on the details page)! Seeing working examples helped me learn how json syntax works a bit better. There's also, you know, the modding information directly on the wiki! Super helpful and I can't recommend it enough.
If you have any specific questions, I can try to help! But I am by no means an expert. Best of luck, and I'd love to see if you end up creating an NPC!
Im sure it was quite the work, i imagined it already x). i just wanted to ask how you felt, and i can tell we're defo in the ame boat as not knowing how to start. i gen have no idea, but now with your recommendations i have a new strike of hope!
if ill have further questions, ill make sure to reach out.
Hello ;) I just wanted to thank you once again for giving me permission to translate your amazing mod. I’ve finally released it! I was planning to release it a bit earlier, but I got sick, unfortunately. Still, I was able to finish this wonderful project. So thank you very much for the permission, Mr. teanopi <3
Thank you so much! I hope you're feeling better... The translation looks beautiful! Under the "Mod Details" page, make sure to select "Translation" and link Tea's mod so that your wonderful translation will show up here too! I'd love for everyone to see it. Thank you again, friend! Both for the translation and for enjoying Tea :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm feeling much better, and it truly means a lot to hear that you liked the translation. I'll make sure to update the "Mod Details" page and link Tea's mod as you suggested—I'm so happy to contribute and help more people enjoy it. Thanks again for the support and encouragement! :)
Funny visual bugs: 1. If you approach Tea from the left and kiss him, then Tea's sprite will turn to the right, and vice versa - it turns out that the farmer always kisses him on the back of the head. 2. Follows from point 1. I have a mod for polyamory, Tea is the second spouse, and under the arch he stood to the left of the farmer, not to the right, and it turned out that the marriage ceremony took place again for another character up to the first phrase about a wonderful wedding on the porch of the house (Tea was found in the house, on the social tab he is also marked as a husband).
Hello, do these glitches occur when the polyamory mod is not installed? Mods like polyamory/free love change the marriage AI and can confuse custom NPCs like Tea.
I'm unfamiliar with how polyamory mods work, but if you share the mod with me I can take a look!
Hmm. Most likely, yes, this mod is to blame - I can't check without it, because the first husband is from vanilla, removing the mod won't help, Tea won't become the main spouse. Polyamory Sweet mod - https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20599
Just downloaded the new update to check things out. Apparently I had two events available at the farm, but I guess both instantly ended, since there were no cutscenes.
Retried getting the 7 heart event just to test if it really was just the overlapping that did it or whatever, but it still broke.
The 7 heart event at the farm you're seeing is just the flag for Tea's letter in the mail! Content Patcher makes you send letters as events just like heart events. It will load like an event, but there's nothing there. Nothing is wrong, just sleep and you'll get a letter with a recipe in the mail tomorrow!
Okay, I went through the rest of the actual events, and aside from the weird little fade in and out that happened when I entered the farm after the 8th heart event, it was all smooth sailing. Thanks for the clarification regardless! You've been more than patient with me in these replies so far, lol.
[Content Patcher] Two content packs want to load the 'Data/Events/AdventureGuild' asset with the 'Exclusive' priority (Defense Division Essencial and Tea). Neither will be applied. You should remove one of the content packs, or ask the authors about compatibility.
thank you for the feedback on the heart events! i'm sorry the silly guy got stuck in the void... this is a different type of issue than the other out of bounds tea map oddities that were recently fixed.
i've tried for about an hour to recreate this glitch (with and without SVE, married w/ 1 house upgrade, the same season, day, and furniture layout) but he keeps showing up correctly on my end.
> does he appear out of bounds always? or is it only some of the time/a specific day? > does closing the game/reloading the save help? > do you have any other mods installed like free love/romanceable rasmodius/custom furniture that change the farmhouse or the marriage AI?
would you mind sending me a DM with your smapi log? i'll try my best to fix the issue for you! thank you again for your continued support and i hope your marriage with tea is an otherwise happy one ><
It only happened once, but I thought of posting it anyway just in case. Since you couldn't recreate it, then I think he'll be fine.
> Like I said, he only did this once, but I haven't played too much since I sent that, so sample size was limited. > See ^ > Don't think so?? Tbh I don't read much about the mods I download XD. But from looking in my mods folder, none really stand out as contributors to the possible issue.
Sorry for a later reply, but I apprectiate the effort you put in every time I find the boy in a weird place. Even if I may have been a little bit hasty this time.
Hello, thank you for enjoying Tea! Compatibility with RSV is planned to come soon, probably in the next update! I just have to test around a bit and look for any glitches in his schedule / events / festival appearances.

And the character is very cute ❤
Thank you!
Hi again. You know the deal. The boyo is stuck somewhere again. This is after marrying him, and after one upgrade to the house.
The heart events are cool, by the way. Interested to see where his story goes.
i've tried for about an hour to recreate this glitch (with and without SVE, married w/ 1 house upgrade, the same season, day, and furniture layout) but he keeps showing up correctly on my end.
