Last edit, I swear: So it did take that long, but as of July 12th 2025, I finally uploaded my unofficial update of this amazing cuter fatter series, you can find it here. Everything added is explained in the description, but for anyone finding this for the first time, it's basically a compilation of all the original cuter fatter animals with new ones that weren't covered before, Marnie's shop icons, and too many config options. Big thanks again to IdentityPollution for these mods and everyone that was interested in my unofficial update here! (Also what I said before still applies, so if he wants me to take down the mod I will as he's the author.)
Old comment + edits bc deleting them feels wrong lol:

Hi! I made a Content Patcher version for 1.6 with all the animals (chickens, ducks, rabbits, dinos, cows, sheep, goats and pigs) + the objects. The ducks are edited from the Bill Cipher Void Chicken mod, I've also added golden chickens and all the baby sprites that were missing + edited the ones that were the same as the adult sprites (so everything except the ostriches has their own sprites). It's fully configurable too, and enabled animals will replace their icons in Marnie's shop menu! I sent you a PM with the file, if you're interested ^^
Edit: I'm commenting here in case IdentityPollution or someone who knows him sees this first, I'm not comfortable posting it as a mod myself until IdentityPollution replies, because these are his assets - but if anyone wants it PM me and I'll send it to you!
Edit 2: It's been a few months since I messaged him, so I'm sharing the link to my file - hopefully it doesn't go against IdentityPollution's permissions, seeing the open permissions on his cuter fatter cows. I'll still delete it if the author sees this and dislikes it!
Edit 3: I contacted IdentityPollution and he said it was okay to share it as long as he was credited, so all's well! I'm currently working on a full update with the ostriches and some retouches to the edits I made before, which, now knowing I have his permission, I'll post here on Nexus as its own mod. Hopefully it won't take too long!
It seems its been a while since the mod author has done anything with this, so I did a golden chonkin for my file. You can find it here. Just unzip into your mod folder as usual and let it replace the content and config files, and it should just add the sprite assets to your asset folder - modify the config folder from there to your liking! Hopefully it got the dropbox link and such all correct!
Shiloh - just wanted to update you I am trying to add your golden Chonkins, and so far they haven't worked, but I am DESPERATELY trying to make them work. There is no error popping up for me, just no fat lil golden chicken. I am doing what I can to see if there is something I am missing, Will update as I go/if I can figure it out. So far I have added it initially, did not work. Deleted, readded, still not working. Deleted it and cuter fatter animals, readding them both to see if it will work with a fresh install of both mods. Am double checking to make sure I did not miss an error log somewhere.
ETA: No error log - not sure where I am going wrong, but dang it, I am sad I am not getting the cute golden Chonkins you made. Will keep attempting til I get it right. If anyone knows what I might be doing wrong, please let me know!
ETA 2: tried it again for a few hours more, still no change to the chickens, even with altering files and whatnot. It did take a few steps back and changed them all to being default style rather than fat chickens, as per the original mod, so I'm not sure what happened there. I'll just make due without fat gold chickens for now, but I do still have the mod saved for later, should I be able to figure out what to do, or have someone come up with more advice. Thanks!
I figured it out - Shiloh missed a line in the content file. Open it with notepad and add a new line at the end of the file. Put a single } and it will work. Thanks for the golden chonkins Shiloh!
Aaah I'm so sorry I didn't see this! I didn't mean to leave you hanging :( Nexus doesn't give me notifications for comment replies and I've been super busy irl with my daughter. I'm Hoping you saw bluethunder's comment about the missing bracket -- I may have missed it when I copy pasted it into a new file for uploading to dropbox -- Either way, I'm hoping you got it all sorted! I'm hearing that someone has gotten permission to pick up the cuter fatter series and they will keep them updated so keep a look out for a new update on Chonkins that will include my golden chicken sprites!
Hi, can i ask where have you heard about it changing ownership? I can't seem to find anything, on the chuckle fish forums he's hasn't been online in almost 4 years, cant find anything else
also i just cant seem to get your golden chonk to work, it doesn't show up as a zip file and when i open it up there are just a bunch of random symbols
Is there a way to get this to work with Elle's Coop Animals? I tried to remove the config lines where it would replace the chicken but I think there's a lot more to it.
Wondering if anyone got a way to do it successfully :)
Im also looking for a way to do this. It's less of "I want these instead of Elle's" and more "I want these in tandem with Elle's". I know it's possible because I have the Desert Chickens mod which adds two new colors of chickens to buy.. It just looks like a lot of coding that I dont understand yet. If anyone has any tips or could point to the right direction, I'd be very grateful!!
Hello! I love the chonkins, but I have a problem. I installed it, replaced the files as instructed. The chonkins themselves are fine, but other items, such as my glowstone ring, cinder shards, caviar, fish roe, pineapple, tree fertiliser and many more dissapiered. I checked everything and it seems that from all the mods I have installed (fatter cows, bunnies, goats, pigs, sheep - I don´t have the full set) that the only problem are chonkins. And I´m not the only one experiencing this and I didn´t find any fix here, so I (with my boyfriend´s help) made one!
What helped me: 1) Go to your steam client - library - stardew valley. 2) Right click the game and a table should appier. 3) Click Properties... and then another table should appier. 4) On the left side of the table should be a collumn of General, Actualizations, Files, Beta versions and Driver (I dont have it in english so the names may vary). 5) Click on Files (third from the top) and click Check integration of files (last of the possibilities). 6) Then wait. The game checks for any potentional bugs and it should be fixed!
I had to do this 2 times, but it worked. Unfortunatelly, the chonkins are gone :( But my game runs just fine. Cows, pigs, bunnies and sheep returned to original, so I just replaced the xnb files and it runs just fine!
The cp version of the chonkins doesn´t work for me either. :(
I love the mod for my chickens but is there any way to get it to apply to my cows pigs and goats as well? I tried the extra file and idk if I just wasn't doing it right but it never applied to anything other than the chickens
