Hello! Read in the description that you made this mod as practice for C#. Amazing!! Not sure if you made the durian sprite or someone else did but in the spirit of practicing hobbies, could I practice sprite making with you? I whipped up a durian object sprite of my own if ya wanna see >_> Unless you are ALSO trying to practice sprites. In which case, nice!! Art!! The more art the better!!
Hi, don't want to take away the attention from a fellow newbie-modder, though I would be happy to help turning your pixelart into in-game crops and items. I just started modding and added carrots and plantable coconut trees as well. Message me if you would like to collaborate.
Hi I'm excited to see what you've done ! I've been dying to find someone to help with the sprites to be honest because I'm not good with it but thanks for your supportive comment ! You can find dm me on discord Alacrity#2508 If it looks good, then, with your permission, I'd love to use them in the mod and credit you in as artist.
Ah! I'm happy to see people interested in all this modding and sprite making!! Of course, I'll be talking to platinumhobo first. I did see your carrot and coconut mods though. If you wanna collab on that or any future ideas let me know! I don't have ~Premium~ so i can't use the IM system for nexus, boo. So. Uh. Just reply to the post i guess lol
Your mod is great. Even I understood how to add new trees. But I saw such entries in the SMAPI log. [10:11:38 DEBUG ExtraContentMod] NNNNNNN pressed A. [10:11:39 DEBUG ExtraContentMod] NNNNNNN pressed D. [10:11:41 DEBUG ExtraContentMod] NNNNNNN pressed A. [10:11:42 DEBUG ExtraContentMod] NNNNNNN pressed D.

Hey, this looks promising. I got a couple suggestions:
-Add carrots: we have cave carrots, but no normal carrots. It could go along creating a carrot cake recipe and a way to obtain it, and it sounds like good practice for C++since there would be seeds, a crop, a recipe and a dish to be added
-Add a new animal, and something to do with it. Maybe turkeys? this could mean turkey egg mayo, so another new item to mess around
-Adding some sort of clothing that actually has defense stats. Always found weird armor was not part of the game. Maybe a Chainmail you gain from Marlon and could even be upgradeable through copper to iridium tiers, like your other tools. This would prove to be something to tinker about
-New quests! it would be interesting if sometimes villagers requested specific clothing items like certain hats or shirts. Maybe some of these could even be added as like/dislike for some characters
-Expanding dialogues for some characters would not hurt anyone. Gunther has zero interactions with you besides one cutscene, so he could use at least some conversations and a birthday, to be on the same level as Sandy. I'm sure you can think of other examples of characters that could use some flavour text
ohhh ! Yes, I like some of these ideas. I do have a sort of roadmap in my head ( kind of vaguely planned right now ) that covers these contents. I'm very excited to add new quests, but right now I'll very likely be adding more crops/trees/items first as I expand my knowledge to more advanced things. Thanks for your suggestions ~
I find using frameworks helpful. For Animals you might want to look at BFAV (Paritee's better farm animal variety) ;) though you might need to use the unofficial update. I won't take away the ideas then :D Happy modding :3 I tracked so I can see what you are up to.
@Kjay9558 I think just go ahead and develop on those ideas if you like them anyway, from my perspective I think they're quite general and open concept (with examples like maybe turkeys) but given how broad the ideas are I'm sure its fair to implement them into your own mod. That's my opinion at least
Note that some of these ideas already exist as mods specifically making Gunther an NPC and adding carrots. Not saying you cant do it ofc! Just suggesting you search Nexus before spending time on something that's already been done. Unless you want to do it in which case it's up to you! Not sure you can gift clothing.
Hi, good luck on your project. Just so you know, there are already mods adding some crops/fruit trees, including Durian. Depending of the name you used, this may create conflict.
These two pages reference most of the existing JA fruits trees and crops so you can see the existing stuff and the name used. Of course, this isn't to prevent you to do what you want but to ensure that your mod is compatible with the existing ones, for people who may use both.
Hi, I also started modding for the learning experience a few days ago. I suggest you take a look at Producer Framework Mod (PFM) for custom seed-maker recipes to add to your new crops and fruits.
If you have trouble with something send me a pm , I will try to help with Json assets or PFM.

I already made some carrots a few days ago. And some coconut palms, so we can actually plant coconuts now.
