Life Cycle
Even though I love playing Stardew Valley, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one progressing in town. This made me decide to make a mod that allows NPCs to date each other and much more.

Installation:
Each couple has a config.json located in Life Cycle - {Pairing name}/[CP] Life Cycle - {Pairing name}. You'll be able to change the fields 'Version' (allowed values 'dating', 'married'). Please, check first what versions are available for the pairing you're installing.

I recommend downloading the mod Generic Mod Config Menu to switch between versions more easily.

Dating version:
  1. SMAPI and Content Patcher must be installed.
  2. Download the main file and unzip it.
  3. Delete from the folder the pairings you do not want (keep the Craftables folder) and install only one pairing per NPC.
  4. Place the main folder Life Cycle in your Mods folder.

If you're starting a new save and are installing Marnie-Lewis, change the variable for 'Save' from 'old' to 'new'.
If you're installing Emily-Clint and you have seen Emily's 8 hearts event and therefore can't see Clint's 6 hearts event, change the variable for 'Save' from 'old' to 'new'.

Married version:
  1. SMAPIContent Patcher and Mail Framework Mod must be installed.
  2. Make sure you have the folder [CP] Life Cycle - Craftables.
  3. Complete all dating events for the couple you're installing.
  4. Open the config.json and change the variable for 'Version' from 'dating' to 'married'. 

Features:

  • New heart events (canon pairings are all finally done :) ).
  • New dialogue lines after every event for the couple.
  • After the 8 heart event is triggered, the couple's schedules change and they will occasionally meet up.
  • Also, after the 8 heart event, new dialogue lines are added to their family, that depends on your heart level with them.
  • Optional wedding event.

Thanks to petriatnexus for helping me check the dialogues, to Lucypandyleo for helping me create Athanaeri Corner and being my pixel art helper, to Lemurkat for answering my doubts about modding and to richardtrle for helping me writing some dialogues! :)

If you enjoy playing with my mods, please consider buying me a coffee 


This is the first mod that I've ever made and English is not my first language, so if there's any bug or some dialogues are not well written, please let me know. I hope you enjoy even more your experience in Stardew Valley with this mod!
