Question How Do I Make Mods?

[zenozyne]

Hi - I'm wanting to attempt to make a portrait mod for Stardew.

How do I go about doing it? And do you have any tips, as well?

OK, I am also a begginer and encounter some problems. My adcice is reading wiki is the best way to solve your doubt.

You need basic skill to use C# or you can use Content Patcher. And you can get some advice from ds or chatgpt

you want to add or edit portrait. CP is the best choice or you can use csharp (C#) too. you can read wiki to learn about it

There are probably a few YouTube tutorials, too

If you scroll down here, there are 3 "Start from scratch" tutorial videos:

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardew-modfest

There's also a separate modding wiki with written tutorials if those work better for you (I vastly prefer written instructions), which I found much easier as a starting point than the main wiki's modding info (Which is essential, don't get me wrong, but it's more useful after you've copied some code). There are tutorials specifically flagged as beginner level.

Stardew Modding Wiki

The Stardew Valley Modding wiki (aka the Modding Tutorial Wiki or the Modding Wiki for short) is a companion to the Official Stardew Valley Wiki. You can think of stardewvalleywiki.com/ as a sort of "textbook" or "dictionary" containing vast amounts of useful information and as the resource for...

stardewmodding.wiki.gg

Lastly, the content patcher documentation at Github includes a guide whose very first example of a patch is how to replace a vanilla portrait. This is a bit trickier to read than the tutorials above, like the Stardew wiki is, but like the Stardew wiki, the information is extremely useful once you get into more complicated work.

The stardew modding wiki is much better than the official wiki's modding help lmfaoo.

The official wiki is designed as the information you need after you already learned the process. A dictionary, rather than an instruction manual. It's fantastic for when you want to look up the details of an obscure command you never expected to use. Not so good for when you want to know how to add in that command in the first place.

I mean it IS a wiki after all.
