Hey! I know this mod hasn't been updated in a while, but I did find a mod on moddrop that changes Demetrius's dialogue during Maru's 2 heart event (he tells a funny story about Maru as a kid instead of threatening you lmao): https://www.moddrop.com/stardew-valley/mods/734909-de-creepyd-demetrius
Just wanted to drop by with a quick question about compatibility/smooth running because I noticed there haven't been any updates in quite some time, nor have there been any comments surprisingly! Is this still being maintained? I'll throw it into my game and let you know if it doesnt work. if it does, I wont say anything after this unless I get a reply.
So I've been contemplating adding some flavor mods (I'm at about 200 hours on vanilla), but I have to know — if you're not married to Sebastian, is Demetrius still the world's most neglectful stepfather? I wouldn't want to ruin such an integral part of his characterization.
I'm sure you don't care any more, but the answer is yes, never fear! He's super passive aggressive about Sebastian and has a constant undertone of "it's not MY fault we don't get along".
Hey, this is awkward but I just switched from mac to pc & I've never used 7zip (mac has its own version). I'm running 10, I've downloaded 7zip, yet none of the files on my computer with7zip or 7z in them have yielded the ability to read .rar files.
I think I'm just super not used to the newer version of windows and making silly mistakes (I've had this thing 3 days after using mostly macs for 10 years)
Hopefully I can figure it out, your mods are the last piece before my mod folder is finally reconstructed. The game just really isn't complete with this one in particular.
I downloaded this and put it into the Mods folder, but it said it's not a .json file. I changed it to a .json file but then it said that it wasn't a SMAPI mod?
Hmm. So you downloaded the archive file and extracted its contents to the Mods folder? You should end up with a folder named More Personality for Demetrius and inside that there should be two files: manifest.json and content.json. Is that not what you're seeing?
Do you mind if I ask how much dialogue was added? I'm doing a rough quantitative analysis for funsies. I'm comparing and contrasting one big dialogue expander with lots of little ones. Not looking for "best", just want to see what I come up with.
Having a number, rounded or otherwise would help me get a better idea of one of the just how much dialogue could be amassed through the more eccentric 'lots of little ones' method.
I don't mind a bit! Skimming over the file, it looks like I added somewhere around 150 lines. (It's hard to get an exact count, as I repeated a few of them and some others are base game lines that I rewrote slightly or put in different places.) To be honest, I added an unnecessary number of lines. I can't imagine that anyone would ever manage to trigger more than a fraction of those lines on a playthrough. My goal was to minimize repetition, so I hope I achieved that, at least.
I'd be very interested to hear your findings. I've put together dialogue mods for my own private use by compiling various smaller mods, and you can get quite a lot of dialogue that way. The downside is that unless you stitch the mods together by hand, a lot of the lines end up overwriting each other, so maximizing the line count requires a bit of work.
That's an interesting story. For the moment I'm sticking to general dialogue expansion mods. Meaning everyone who has a heart meter with and (at least for now) excluding the romance/marriage dialogue mods. And one thing I've found is: It's incomplete.
Starting with the bachelor/ettes. You'd think that wouldn't be where there's a hole, but three have no working pre-romance dialogue mods. Alex has mods that refocus his dialogue on romance/flirtation. Maru is harder to pin down, one mod that might offer expansion or overhaul or both, its unclear and its post-marriage. Sebastian's sole non-romance dialogue expansion is ancient (as in it may literally be SV's 1st dialogue mod) & seems to be abandoned & broken? As for the other villagers, taking into account your new Robin mod, now only three have no personal dialogue expansion. Pierre's only dialogue mods are by people who wanted to change his personality. Sandy just has few mods period. I found one mod for Caroline that expands her dialogue in a sense, but its centered around marrying her.
Part 2/2 Numbers: It's good I don't care about being precise, because not only do almost all of these round- the George/Evelyn & the Vincent mod describe their amount of dialogue as "dozens" & "nothing crazy" respectively. So they aren't include in the dialogue line count unless they get back to me. Canon-friendly: 2400+ Lines of dialogue, size: 181 KB, Encompasses all 33 characters with heart meters. Combination of one single mod for all characters possible: 3521+ lines of dialogue, 308 KB, only 27 characters with mods fitting current parameters. That's 1121 more lines of dialogue, its nearly double the cumulative file size 127KB more, but it also has 6 characters missing, 3 who are romance-able & 3 who aren't.
I have no idea how any of this runs. Not without "stitching them together" & I also wouldn't know how to try.
Addendum: to make this a little easier, I only picked one mod per character.
I've tried opening the .rar file here multiple times. All it says is "Can not open file 'C:\(my file path)More Personality for Demetrius-4724-1-1-15755660622.rar" as archive?
This mod is expressly compatible with CFDE and in fact I'd recommend they be used together.
I don't really follow SVE, but as far as I can tell it adds events for the base game characters but doesn't do much (if anything) with their dialogue. In the worst case, the dialogue from one mod might overwrite dialogue from another, but it won't break your game or anything.
I really want to try this mod but I have a stupid question. I understand they will be downloaded to the Mods folder but which folder do they go in after that as they are .json files? Sorry, I know this might seem like a stupid question.
It's not a stupid question - it was stupidity on my part for forgetting to package them in a folder in the first place. I've uploaded a new version that does include a folder, but you can also just create a folder within your Mods folder (name it whatever you like) and place the files inside.
