I present Tunnelling Ahead to the class, a mod that gives Alex the chance he’s always wanted. Will you be supportive in his gridball endeavours? Or will you shoot his dream out of the sky*? They say never go too ambitious with your first mod, but Alex deserved it!!!
*Disclaimer: don’t download this if you aim to shoot him down, he goes for it anyway.
This mod includes events of his road to (junior) Gridball Stardom, dialogue lines, and an updated schedule to reflect his new profession, once he gets there.
Please let me know of any bugs or issues, and I will do my best (or find someone with more knowledge) to fix them. Suggestions and recommendations are also welcome!
Install instructions:
Install SMAPI and Content Patcher
Extract and place the folder inside in \Stardew Valley\Mods
Mod clashes:
Any mod that adjusts Alex's post-marriage schedule will definitely clash, and any marriage dialogue mods may be overwritten if they're lower in the loading queue.
I’ve given the events a timeline that stretches from the summer to winter to give things a sense of development, but it isn’t overly rigid as one cannot account for where exactly in the game one may want to do things, but I did my best!
Event requirements, in order:
!! Activates from year 3 onwards !!
Event 1: In the summer, visit George and Evelyn’s house with 12 hearts on Alex.
Event 2: In the summer, visit the bus stop between 6am - 9am
Event 3: Visit Pierre’s shop between 3pm - 7pm
Event 4: In the fall, enter the saloon between 6pm - 11pm
Event 5: In the winter, enter the saloon after receiving a letter.
Schedule changes
Alex's schedule updates after event 4 to reflect his new career. The updated schedule is as follows:
Monday: Working in Zuzu
Tuesday: At home
Wednesday, sunny: Goes to the beach to work out
Wednesday, raining: Goes to Pierre's to get groceries
Thursday: Visits grandparents
Friday: At home
Saturday: Goes to bus stop in the morning, leaves for Zuzu at 10am
Sunday: Working in Zuzu
Please note that the days when he's working in Zuzu, you'll see him leave the house at 6:20am because I'm not sure how to make him disappear for a while :'( forgive me!!! I'm not a coder!!!! I did my best!!!!!!
