prereqs for multiplayer (probably) (assuming I ever run it)

Note that _most_ of these mods will install reliably using Nexus' mod manager Vortex, but not all of them. I will note which ones need to be manually installed.

Required on your end to prevent a game crash, getting yourself stuck in a wall, and other basic accessibility problems:

- the dependencies for ALL of the following mods (todo: actually write the list)
- Stardew Valley Expanded (must be manually installed)
- Immersive Farm 2 Remastered (must be manually installed)
- Prismatic Tools
- Minerva's Harder Community Center Bundles

Strongly recommended on your end so that your basic experience is the same:

- Climates of Ferngill
- Teh's Fishing Overhaul
- Faster Paths (increases speed when on crafted paths, which feels less like 'cheating' than a uniform boost-the-speed mod)
- Better Garbage Cans

Helpful quality of life stuff that I am using and also recommend:

- UI Info Suite
- Skip Intro
- Time Reminder
- Fast Animations
- Hold To Break Geodes
- Convenient Chests (lets you craft items without actually having to haul all the ingredients into your own inventory)
- Crop Color Combiner
- Locked Crab Pots

Fun stuff that I am using and also recommend:

- Mx. Qi (this one literally just makes the mysterious Qi nonbinary, I just like it)
- Immersive Festival Dialogue
- Canon Friendly Dialogue Expansion

Things I don't mind either way for, mostly because they don't change things on my end:

- Any sort of recolor mod, since this doesn't change any game mechanics. (While these usually do not need to be installed manually, if you are using a full map recolor like Eemie's or Starblue Valley, there are recolor compatibility files for SVE and IF2R that do need to be installed manually.)
- No More Dialogue Differences (removes most of the gendered and heteronormative dialogue, such as removing "I'd ask you to play catch if you weren't a girl" and "this is the first time I've felt this way about a guy"; unsure if this also works with the SVE NPCs, unfortunately)
- George Dialogue Edits (less ableism around his wheelchair usage)
- Custom Music, and custom music packs

Things I can be convinced to use if you ask me:

- Delta's Better Swimsuits (WARNING: Because this requires the Kisekae mod, which WILL crash my game if I don't also have it, please please please tell me you intend to use it. Includes more swimsuit type options like chest binders. Must be installed manually.)
- TimeSpeed, to make the entire game's tick length longer (by default, 10 in-game minutes take 7 seconds. I'm OK with making it 8, and could probably be convinced to make it 9 or 10)
- mods that add new crops, trees, fish, machines, or other items, including weapons with bigger damage numbers

You can use these if you need them for basic accessibility:

- Fishing Made Easy (only the normal Fishing Made Easy ones. Not the Accessible or Legendary versions)
- Combat Made Easy (only the Damage ones. Not the ones that reduce HP or increase drop rate)
- As noted above, recolor mods like Eemie's Recolors or Starblue Valley, which make most of the colors less saturated, may be helpful if you get visually overloaded by Stardew Valley's default colors
- Harvest With Scythe
- Instant Eat Key

Things that I am using on my end but that you do not need installed to benefit from:

- Automate
- Better Fruit Trees
- Better Junimos
- Better Panning

Mods that I would prefer that you not use at all:

- mods that add other sorts of new maps. SVE is huge enough on its own, and also if you install them without me I won't be able to follow you.
- ones that let you "cheat in" items, such as CJB Item Spawner
- teleporting (it's OK to use the "debug wh" command - which warps you to your bed - to get yourself out of being stuck in a wall or something, but that's about it)
