In an act of unfathomable hubris, I’ve been turning Stardew Valley into 3D so I can turn it into VR, as a SMAPI mod.

    This is The Third Dimension: a mod for Stardew Valley that aims to make the game completely playable in 3D and optionally in VR, all in the original game’s engine. I’ve been working on this project on and off since mid/late 2025, and wanted to show an early version of it. It’s not at a playable state yet, but is a decent proof of concept.

    I’m the author of a few core mods within the Stardew Valley community, like SpaceCore and Generic Mod Config Menu, and many other mods you might’ve seen over the years, like Magic, Luck Skill, and Spenny.

    Right now just about almost everything besides the terrain is billboarded sprites, but the plan is to over time give everything a unique 3D model.

    No AI is involved in the making of this project.

    Wow. That’s a massive undertaking which I’d truly appreciate. I definitely need more to play besides VRchat to justify the expense of my PCVR lol. Crazy work OP, fantastic.

    All you need is the farmer to have the shotgun from Doom for full nostalgia.

    This is so cool, I have been dreaming for years of the idea of Stardew in VR. I would definitely wanna give this mod a try! Definitely a ton of work I imagine, but would be so cool
