Prank idea : wash glasses or hide them with cleaner spray & cloth 👓
I think the time mod right now set as it is, is just default game time seed. Y’all should increase it a bit to fully experience the mod, it’s really nice, just don’t go overboard otherwise it’s too slow
I really wish there was a time extender available for console. My husband and i have both played single and multi player and we are currently playing on xbox. It would really chill things out since the menus and such do nothing to pause. No problem at all playing with mods if it makes it more fun and chill for you
There is also the Crowd Control app which adds Twitch interactivity. My friend used it and we could donate bits via the app to do things like teleport her to a random place, upgrade/degrade her items, etc. I know there is some customizability but I am not sure what all you can do.
if it's been at least a week you cant get resources back sadly.
The fact that Katelyn still using the zoom out UI without realizing it was a prank 😂😂😂
That keyboard will help with your posture. People with broad shoulders need a wide keyboard. So by having a split keyboard you control the space needed to roll your shoulders to the proper position.
rancher is great if you have animals it makes you pay 20 % more money for animal stuff like eggs milk
You can cut down weeds on your farm with your sword.
I appreciate the less amount of time you guys have to spend walking to get stuff done 😆
five or six is the best move at least for me but to get the best out of it you need the artisan trade.
Y’all are not using the UISuite mod yet basically, check what button toggles that menu through the mods options and then a million opportunities will open up to you, including faster walking seed and time travel, along will a lot of actually “cheaty” things!
Also try to prioritize the community center tasks, they unlock so many important this to progress your game! ❤
2:12:50 The “lookup anything” mod has another toggle button that pulls up a search bar where you can type anything, so you don’t need the wiki anymore!
Tbh I feel like back strengthening exercises help the most with posture, unless there’s a medical contraindication. I get the most mileage out of deadlifts but anything that strengthens the back helps.
Since you can access chest from anywhere leave tools you're not using in the chest, for example when your fishing leave all other tools behind. Fish in the water at the spa for a reward.
"This isn't cheating!" No.. It is. Everything you've added is cheating 😂 But that's ok. It's your game. Play however you want to. The vanilla game seemed to be stressing y'all out, and the conflicting suggesting from chat sure wasn't helping with that anxiety. You arent speed runners, you dont have to optimise every single action and activity. It's supposed to be a cosy game and clearly it wasn't feeling very cosy, so since you have the resources to make it easier and more enjoyable…..You should do that. Most people just stop playing when everything gets too overwhelming. I stopped playing the game for about a year before i started watching YouTubers play the game, and i actually understood what was happening and what i needed to do and now i have hundreds of hours on the game, can tell you where NPCs will be on certain days and certain time, what their likes and loves are, where each fish is caught and when (and which fish is on the line) and EVERYTHING requires for the community centre, remixed bundles included and so much more.
Just enjoy the game 💜
BTW, when you tried to complete the wheat quest you gave Marnie hay, not wheat. Also, there is something especially hilarious that if you give hay to Marnie, someone who sells it for 50 gold, she calls it worthless.
I’m so happy for you guys! UI Info is the best 🎉
I prefer it when you have the two screens side-by-side. So much easier to see what each person is doings at the same time – it's hard to see what person 2 is doing in the small screen.
Mods are the best part of the game!
Even “I’m going to sell the espresso because we need money more then we need a spleen boost” also Even 3 minutes later “IT might be a little cheats but I want to instal a mod that makes you move faster” do you not know what speed boost means?
if evan wants an ultimate ergonomic keyboard alternative for improved workflow he should check out the charachorder. it lets you keep your hand completely still and type far faster
I named my new farm Wits End. Finally playing it again after years. Also finally playing it modded.
This is at the comments I'm seeing: if you don't like these guys playing with mods, then make your own YouTube channel and play how you want. If this content isn't for you, you don't get to dictate what the creators make.
At Evan and Katelyn: I have been watching your content for years and you guys inspired me to try playing Minecraft while Stardew Valley has always been a major favorite of mine so I'm so glad to see y'all sticking to playing it, and I hope these mods make it even more enjoyable for you!
Glad you guys are having fun! 😁
