Already made a request on the nexus mod page to the author. http://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/500/? Your best bet is to PM to the author since he's still active. But if he hasn't responded it's likely because he's been busy.
Does anyone know which file(s) I would need to modify to makes this happen? I'm digging through various xnb files and am not finding it. Somewhere in the code there should be an if statement that checks your current friendship value for this event. EDIT: Would using an older version of Smapi fix the issue? I have the most recent version of Stardew Valley or is the issue with the game updates and not Smapi? If the issue is the current Smapi what version would I need to use? This is the only Smapi mod I use.
