Download IMPORTANT! Only install this version once the Market shuts down or it might cause some serious bugs! Hi there! I got very annoyed with the Joja Ruins ruining my beautiful town... So I decided to get rid of them and add some kind of little park. As per request I made another version with more benches and trees (which I personally like even more than the original). While I was at it, I also realised that there are a few other things that bug me a little about the town... So I fixed them as well. I made the paths more accessible for the horse (meaning I widened them and removed the table in front of the Major's house). I removed the tree stumps standing around and fixed most of the fences (mostly the ones on private properties). I also cleaned up the trash in front of the trailer. IMPORTANT! Only install this version once the Market shuts down or it will cause some serious bugs! That said, I also made a second version with just the general cleanups and the Joja Mart and ruins still intact. (I didn't do the fences in this version so there's only wider paths and trash and stumps removed) Download this version from here: Download Instructions: This is a xnb. replacement, not a SMAPI mod. Simply replace the town.xnb in the folder: Stardew Valley\Content\Maps. Download
This is spectacular! You made it seem so easy to do, but (like me) many others have had trouble getting the maps to read new sprite sheets properly... What's your secret? Do you use tIDE as a map editor? Thank you for this!
Thank you, that made my day. Yes I'm using tide and it took me several days and attempts to get it to work but it wasn't actually that hard in the end. Just had to add the tile sheets I wanted to use to the map (as they were all already in the maps and general folder) and then put them together so it made sense. So glad someone found a liking to this.
I really like this, tiffy, thank you! But any chance we could get some trees maybe or something, so it doesn't look so empty? Or a fountain maybe. That would be really cool
I can add trees, sure. The only fountain I could use would be the one that's already in town and I didn't just want two identical fountains so close to one another. If you have any more ideas let me know and I can try some stuff out.
Oh, right, I forgot there is only the one fountain. Hm... Well, there is Monteso's really nice water fountain thingy here, but I dunno if it would be possible to add this in as a new object. Overall, I think some benches and trees there, just so it looks a bit more like a park, would be really nice
I won't be able to use that I'm afraid because it's a farm building. I see what I can do about the benches. Trees I can certainly do
This mod is 100% a godsend. I wish it was a default thing... Having that abandoned building lying around always felt so dreary and bleak. This is much more in tune with the overall feeling of the game! Thank you so much for this!
Okay! I think I'm done. Let me know if this is how you envisioned it or if you'd like some more trees and stuff. Download here
Oh, that is beautiful! Perfect, I love it! I'll download and save for now and install it when I get rid of Joja. You rock, thanks again! EDIT: Does this include the cleaned town, by any chance?
I'm working on porting this to work in ALL so that your beautiful ruins replacement can be used on all games, not just ones that only have post-community center save files. I intend to use it in my game, but if its okay with you, I'd like to upload it if I get it working. Edit: 8000-ish lines of code later and I finished (mostly) porting your lovely garden to ALL. I say mostly because I didn't code in the removal of debris from the town yet, as I have Cleanup Crew and that does it for me. If you give me permission to upload it when you get around to checking this topic again, I'll probably add that code in for the end user. Now to actually test it in-game. -pulls on coveralls and dons a hardhat- time to get bulldozing!
I love this design, I tried to download it and run it, but it said it had no manifest. I attached a thubnail.
I'm not really sure what's causing this because I'm not very good at things like this and it's working for me... Anyone else having the same problem by any chance?
@djursa That would only happen if you put the file in the SMAPI mods folder. This isn't a SMAPI mod. You need to replace the Town.xnb in Stardew Valley\Content\Maps.
