Stardew Valley on Switch

Point

I first played SV on Switch and loved it, several years ago. Great gameplay, graphics and mechanics overall, for the most part. Soon though i realized just how stressful it is being on the clock all the time, everywhere, and the harsh consequences of it. As you probably have guessed, im a very slow person :) I enjoy pondering where to place that barn, plant those wheat to make a nice passage way for the greenhouse while on-the-way pop into shed and start some machines. That's me. Running to the beach = 1 day. Catching that npc + cut some hardwood = 1 day. It's a bit too constrained

Solution i found was to get the game for pc and immediately install a mod that slowed down time. Now it was the perfect game :)

However. Since i really enjoy being on Switch i think its sad the port has such limitations. Not only are mods not available, there is no way (tht im aware of anyways) to reload an older save file - since there arent any. I guess some ppl will think of it as cheating or that this is what the game is about, but to me it's what makes the game brittle. I mean - i do plenty stressful stuff at work, dont quite need my free time for that ^^

Ok so why not continue play on pc? Because being on Switch is a way more pleasant way to spend a few hours leisure time. Again: pc i do at work, pay bills, shopping and other grown-up things..

So what i would love: Make a game option where time goes slower or a hotkey or whatever to just halt it for a bit, on Switch. That's my suggestion :)
