I am playing as a farmhand on my friend’s island. We are playing Version 1.6.9.37 on Nintendo Switch with no mods, vanilla.
My mailbox at my house always shows an unread mail/letter icon, but every time I click it I read the same letter every time and am unable to move onto the next letter. This bug means I’m unable to read dozens of new letters.
The Letter:
Person: Robin
“Dear Farmer <player>,
I'd like to apologize for joking about your Grandpa's old cottage when we first met. It's really a nice little house! However, you might need some more space someday. That's where I can help. If you bring me some raw materials and pay a fee, I can expand your house. (Continued on next page) The first expansion I offer includes a kitchen. With a kitchen, you'll be able to cook any recipes you've learned! Anyway, I hope you're starting to feel at home in Stardew Valley! Your local carpenter, Robin”
I play as a farmhand occasionally to help out my friend who plays lots of days solo without me. We are now on Winter Y3 of the game. Because of this glitch, my farmhand character has been blocked from progressing significantly, and it makes co-op mode frustrating.
I’ve been blocked from:
- reading the language in the community centre, so my friend (the main player) had to do all of the bundle donations. Annoying because I could not easily see what items still needed to be donated to bundles.
- unlocking meeting the wizard and entering his house. (note: we found a workaround once my friend opened the witch’s swamp, I was able to meet him via the back entrance to his house)
- taking Willy’s boat to Ginger Island (note: found another workaround once my friend was able to craft Island Warp Totems)
This is very frustrating and I would love to know how to fix it! Thank you.
