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:
If you're starting a new save and are installing Marnie-Lewis, change the variable for 'Save' from 'old' to 'new'.

Dating version:
- SMAPI and Content Patcher must be installed.
- Download the main file and unzip it.
- Delete from the folder the pairings you do not want (keep the Wedding Arch folder) and install only one pairing per NPC.
- 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:
- SMAPI, Content Patcher and Mail Framework Mod must be installed.
- Make sure you have the folder Life Cycle - Wedding Arch.
- Complete all dating events for the couple you're installing.
- 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.
