Hi! I was wondering if anybody knows of a mod that changes the horse into a bicycle. Ever since I've started playing Stardew Valley, I've imagined how cool it would be to ride a bicycle around town and through the forest and mountains. The horse is fine and all but sometimes I think it's weird for a random horse just waiting outside Pierre's or the Saloon when your doing stuff. And that the bike would maybe fit with the world's kinda modern setting I'm not sure what to change the stable into though.
I would like to sub this request, I was on my way to request this exactly, actually. I mean, we take care of animals not abuse them, and horse riding just makes me sad for the animal. At the moment, I am using the Horse to Vespa scooter mod but if someone were to re-texture the horse to a bicycle - which does not pollute the environment like a scooter does - I bet the community would be very thankful!
You'd have to animate the legs, which seems like something nobody wants to do with these horse-replacement mods.
I won't be as greedy as to request that kind of refined animations, I would be just as thankful with a simple bycicle sprite instead of a horse
I think a bike would be awesome, I don't think I could do one justice but I'll look at the horse animation and see if I could make a viable bicycle sprite. And while it's not a bicycle, but pretty similar, have you seen the Horse to Vespa that Pi.Curious made? It also allows you to turn your horse stable into a garage so that you're not parking your scooter in a horse stable. /http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/horse-to-vespa-scooter-garage-joja-scooter-added.110212/
It's not that people don't want to edit it so the legs move, it's that they can't. The sprite is hard coded into the game to be static save for the bouncing motion (which also can't be changed.) It's even hard coded to make footstep noises at a rapid pace to sound like a horse. If none of that bothers you though making a bike could be pretty simple to do for the right sprite artist.
