i either choose the forest farm or riverlands farm. Forest farm because of the similarities between where i currently live (that being the acutal middle of nowhere) and the lots of trees i can cut down. i find it calming. then the riverlands farm i like because of both the islands and the free fish smoker. i know it sucks for farming but im not really that big into massive money making machines of a farm. i also like the islands so when i do multiplayer (which is quite often) we each get our own space.

Forest Farm.
I'm such a sucker for the OP Forest Farm that I have a real problem forcing myself to even try the new farm types. I did when the Beach Farm came out in v1.5 and married some different who matched the setting which worked out very well so you know, I can do it if sufficiently motivated. OK and on mobile I have a Meadowlands Farm for v1.6 but I rarely play because my pea brain is only trainable on one input scheme and a single finger is no match for the whole band of useless ingrates working a mouse and keyboard. Somehow these losers who went so far as break my arm as a kid so they'd never have to play piano again have managed to work Stardew in a passable fashion after 1000+ hours of experience.
You can teach a monkey tricks, I am proof.
A trick, but not two. Mobile's control scheme actually gives me headaches and it's not because the control scheme is bad, it's pretty good! It's my brain that's bad and these stupid fingers are not helping.

I use iPad and pencil for mobile. The finger controls and playing on iPhone suck for me too.
Am I reading this right that you purposely broke your own arm to avoid playing the piano? If so that is hilarious
( except the broken arm pain and your parent(s) paying for it.

I think I've tried either the original or a modded variant on everything but Meadowlands (Because my 1.6 starter was Riverlands because Mel is themed around fishing) but I keep wanting to go back to Forest or a Forest variant.

Not a direct choice, but I was very directly involved in the broken arm incident where I could have avoided it at any point. But there are those days.I use iPad and pencil for mobile. The finger controls and playing on iPhone suck for me too.

Those days when your brain decides not to be good. Actively making the situation worse when you really don't do that kind of thing. But those days happen on occasion and well... sometimes you gotta learn the hard way to control yourself even on those days.
But hey you get a broken arm outta it and thus no longer need to squander time on your lack of musical talent and motivation. Win!
By the way, there was no pain. Just a feeling like "that's NOT right." Really not right. And you go find your Mom and drive to the hospital and nothing hurts yet and you get concerned why it doesn't hurt. This is supposed to hurt, right?
It doesn't hurt. !!
But then the radiologist needs to take the X-rays and they gotta position your arm this way and that and the hurt starts making up for lost time. "Caregivers" they say. Hmmm... Yes I know they needed to do all that but HMMMMM......
And then Mr. Doctor says, try this procedure. I do the damn procedure! It's easy but as it was a humerus break (insert your favorite joke here), you "set" it with gravity, literally drop the bottom of your arm and it falls into place. So I do it and it works. Pain is gone. Arm is straight(ish) again. And wrap it with an Ace bandage to a rigid L made of some cast-adjacent material.

Wanna hear something cool? Only slightly gross, but cool?
I quickly learned as I had a clean break that I could rotate my upper arm in place while the rest of my (lower) arm wouldn't move. Rotate arm, no movement. Cool and gross, equal parts! Until one day I could feel the slightest resistance and never tried it again. I learned after that bone healing starts with creating a viscous liquidy-substance and that's what that resistance was.
The body is a cool thing.
And occasionally gross.
