I had a problem where only the default portrait would load, even with the recommended seasonal mod installed, but changing the priority from -120 to -100 seems to have fixed it and allowed the seasonal mod through!
I also messed with the seasonal outfit mod to make Alex use his outdoor Mustacular sprite and indoor Seasonal sprite at all times so they match better, since the lack of coat/additional beanie mismatch was kind of odd.
Hey, just wanted to say I love your mod for Alex since its release, but I've noticed that Alex's dance sprite during the Spring Flower Dance does not work properly. As he has the transparent layer from his body.png sprite-sheet without the festival clothes on when dancing. Unsure if this is an issue on the mod's side, though just letting you know about the issue. -Yes, I do have the Seasonal Cute Outfits Mod(if you're wondering) Image of Issue with Flower Dance Alex when partnered with him in the dance
Edit: I found what worked for me, if I applied the "normal_[whatever season]" flower dance suit over the original body.png. His Flower Dancing sprite works with clothes on after. No more transparent layers when dancing.
I have this installed now and I love it. Please consider doing this mod with some of the other men in Stardew Valley and possibly other NPCs too. I think it is compatible with Diverse Stardew Valley from what I have seen.
You're welcome and I did want to ask, is there any way I can use your mod and use this one at the same time? I like what xxxx1981 did with Alex flexing in the portrait.
Hmm. So the Alex Mustacular Mod should work as expected! I've tested my mod together with this Alex mod. And ... The Real Alex won't work. So in your case the "The Real Alex" Mod is working?
alex keep breaking almost all the time in festival days and sometimes random like when i speak to him his portrait show the default, i am using the seasonal outfits mod the one u recommended but yet it show the default portrait for no reason also that the sprites works fine but it somehow make the portraits break cuz i was trying to find out what was happening and i delete the muscular mod and it fixed idk what is going on
Well... I don't experience this bug. So, I need your log file to see which mods you have installed. It may be an incompatibility between Alex and some other mod you have. Please send me your log file!
Yay, update! But this mod is the only resion I still use Sesonal Cute Characters, otherwise I've basicly compleately switched over to Diverse Stardew Valley so I was wondering if I could make a Compatibility Patch for this mod?
Well... simbainspace! You have been following this project for a long time, I know, but... it is hard to make this mod compatible because the DSV project seems to be very complex! I have to ask a lot of people for their permission! And... at the end of the day, this mod is created by my personal need! So... and I am not using DSV right now...
But I also don't like to make people sad, so... heres the deal: You create a mod for my mod! You ask for permission and then you make your own styles! You can ask me for technical help via Nexus DMs!
In that case I can implement to not load the outfits of my Alex when your mod is installed! But... In case you also want his alternativ skin color and hair... then its better to make a completly independent mod!
No no, I'm not asking you to make it I need your permission so I can make it if you read the Compatibility Patch Page on their website it will explain everything, I'm already in the process of making them for personal use so I want to share it for other people to use because this is such a great mod.
No, AkiraWilliams is actually right! The problem is that I misunderstood something in 2021! The permissions tab of "... Alex Muscular Sprite" by CommanderWaddles has this content:
Sprites were Inspired by [...] keychain's "Accurate Alex mod"! [...]
I thought "inspired" actually meant "inspired". So... that its mostly the work of CommanderWaddles! Stupid but true. And when I checked it after AkiraWilliams message, I was confused because I can't find his mod! Because keychain no longer exits... But now I know that AkiraWilliams is indeed keychain!
So.. sorry AkiraWilliams! I will add it to the credits section! But the GitHub page needs time until the next update, okay?
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this mod, I really appreciate it! I know it'd probably be a lot of work so I totally get if it's not possible, but I'd love to see a version of this mod that's compatible with the clothes from Diverse Stardew Valley someday maybe? Still though, thanks again for all of your hard work! Love your mods :)

Have you already tried running both mods at the same time?

Is there a way to use their portrait with what you made?
Thanks for your work!
// EDIT: I've tested it with SMAPI 4.1.4! Everything works as expected!

But please link back to everyone related to the sprite in my credits section!

The way this hair sprite has been copied and extended by the various mods is, funnily enough, quite interesting
