About this mod

A seasonal hairstyle add-on for Penny. This add-on gives Penny cute, seasonally-themed ponytail hairstyles that change with the seasons.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Penny — she’s such a kind and thoughtful character. So, I wanted to give her a bit more visual variety while keeping her original style. Using her canonical summer ponytail, I created this add-on to imagine what it might look like if it were her main style, with her hairstyle naturally changing as her hair grows.
Please note, this is not a stand-alone mod but an add-on for the Seasonal Outfits – Slightly Cuter Aesthetic mod.

Seasonal Changes
  • Spring – The beginning of the year and the first warm month. Penny has short hair and visible freckles due to the sunny weather.
  • Summer – Her hair grows into the canonical ponytail. Freckles become slightly more pronounced under the bright summer sun.
  • Fall – Penny’s hair reaches shoulder length. Freckles fade a bit due to less sunlight.
  • Winter – Her hair is long enough to braid. Freckles are barely visible due to the cold and lack of sun.

Other small portrait fixes were also made
  • Refined lower jawline
  • Adjusted hair outline on the summer hairstyle
  • Removed skin highlights
  • Corrected bluish lips and teeth on open-mouth portraits
  • Slightly refined the hairstyles in sprites for Flower Dance and Winter Star


Canon-friendly

This add-on is canon-friendly. Two hairstyles are reworks of Penny’s existing canonical look, while the other two are logical extensions of those designs, introducing no drastic changes in color or style.

Creation Issues & Legal Details
  • The Spring, Summer, and Fall portraits were created using the Stardew Valley Character Creator by Poltergeister & Jaz — many thanks to them. The Winter hairstyle was initially inspired by a hairstyle from the Childhood Sweetheart Caroline mod by sorkrimp, but was completely redrawn.
  • Spring sprites based on her original summer hairstyle with minor adjustments.
  • Summer sprites – modifications have been made to the summer hairstyle.
  • Fall – The front sprite is the original sprite with buns lowered to shoulder length. The back sprite is based on hairstyle #30 from the in-game character editor, and the side sprite on hairstyle #25 from the in-game character editor.
  • Winter – The front sprite is based on hairstyle #37 from the in-game character editor. The side and back sprites combine hairstyle #18 from the in-game character editor and the original summer hairstyle.
