Welcome to Ridgeside Village!
"The village at the side of the ridge!" - Lenny

Just up the stairs northeast of the bus stop and hop in the cable car to the village!

Ridgeside Village is a massive expansion mod for the game Stardew Valley that spices things up without being too intrusive to the base game.

Offering quality AND quantity in a bunch of features and content which includes a number of new NPCs that you can befriend and some even romance, new items, fishes, weapons, events, stories, and quests that blend well with the base game's aesthetic and lore, and even late game challenges and rewards. Furthermore, you will be welcomed with the village’s custom-made musical theme, along with original musical scores unique for every marriageable NPC.

Come and visit Ridgeside Village! Meet new interesting people with immersive backstories, engaging dialogue, and exciting events! Maybe even fall in love? Who knows!? A lot can happen in Ridgeside Village!

This mod was made by Rafseazz and Mamaesh
Assisted by the Ridgeside Council that formed right after Rafseazz released it as a solo project.

Disclaimer:
The stories in Ridgeside Village are NOT canon to the real story of Stardew Valley.
Though, the mod aims to fit the vanilla aesthetic, lore, and feel in almost every aspect.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):
Is this compatible with Stardew Valley Expanded?
Yes, yes it is.

Is this compatible with (insert mod here)?
Ridgeside Village barely touches any vanilla/base game assets besides a small portion of the Bus Stop, and so, is fairly compatible with any other mod out there!

Do I need to start a new game to play this mod?
Nope! On the contrary, this mod is safe to install in an existing save. Though it is still BEST installed for a new playthrough for the best experience.

What will happen if I install this mod mid-save?
Nothing game breaking! Just the new NPCs acting like they already know the farmer/lack of introductions, sudden influx of events, and maybe random bushes or two in altered maps.

My quests and special order boards are blank!
Type in rsvrefresh in the console.
