#tbh i know the least about harvey out of all of the romanceable men NPCs

[not-poignant]

i'm sorry if this is info you don't particularly care to have, but i just thought i'd bring up that in-game, harvey actively dislikes goat cheese! i thought i should mention it because i always get v immersed in your new chapters, but this particular thing jarred me out of the narrative (although that's probably not a big deal bc it'll only really happen for people who are deeply familiar with harvey, haha.) i'm loving the new chapter otherwise & ty for posting!! the ch22 tease is VERY enticing.

Ahh you're right! I always forget, because he's such a food snob / food wanker I always assume he loves it and I don't care about his character very much in the game. (Never romanced him, and pretty much always skip his cut scenes, including the extremely ableist one with George which kind of put him on my shitlist for life - or the 1700 hours I've played so far - I'm glad I can write a different version of him in a fic).

He likes truffle oil and wine and pickles and I just think 'that dude wants a charcuterie board let him have his dream' and assume goat cheese is a part of that, lmao. (But no, that's Leah's and Robin's thing)

I'll change it, lol, he can have too many bottles of truffle oil instead and seem even more snobby given how expensive it is sadlkfjsa.

Stardew valley x bugsnax mod ideas

(I'm trying to make this a thing? But no promises though lol. I'm mostly writing this out to see what other people think.)

Alex: Chandlo

Alex is way to misogynistic to be chandlo, but this can be fixed through editing the dialogue.

Abigail: Liz

Abigail feels a bit too young for Liz to take her place, but other than that I feel she fits pretty well.

Elliot: Wiggle

I was originally gonna make Wiggle take Sam’s place, but this feels a bit more fitting, with the whole writers block thing and all. (Also I'm halfway done with her sprites and I don't want to redo them lol)

Emily: Shelda

Shelda and Beffica would still live in the same house. They’re not blood relatives, but Beffica sees her as a grandmother figure :0)

Haley: Beffica

It fits perfectly and you can’t convince me otherwise. They even share a love for photography!

Harvey: Eggabell

Again, fits pretty well. Apart from the whole pilot thing from Harvey’s storyline but oh well.

Leah: Wambus (and hopefully triffany, I don’t know how easy it is to mod an entirely new character in though. Maybe i can edit sandy into Triffany?)

Wambus feels kinda out of place but I literally have no other ideas for him lmao

(I know I could have Triffany take the place of a non romancable npc (like the museum guy or the island archeologist) but I don’t wanna separate her from everyone else? If that makes sense.)

Sam: Filbo

I feel like Sam is “too cool” for Filbo, but I could probably change that through some edits to the dialogue.

Sebastian: Snorpy

I feel like Sebastian is a bit too “emo” for snorpy, but I could fix that through dialogue. The motorcycle part is a bit more out of character but oh well.

Shane: Cromdo

Sad old men. Enough said.

Maru: Floofty

I feel like it could work with again, some dialogue edits.

Penny: Gramble

Toxic home life, loves kids, kinda shy, he’s perfect to replace her lol. (I would say I don’t even need to edit his dialogue but I wanna keep his accent in...)

Krobus: Alegander or Snacksquatch (???)

I didn’t know who else to put for Krobus… I might not even touch him tbh. I feel like Alegander might work better replacing Mr Qi. now that I think about it...

Another idea was to replace Krobus with the Snacksquatch, because I think having it as a room mate would be silly :03 (Or maybe I could find a way to put triffany here??)

Notes:

*Npcs related to the bachelors/ bachelorettes would be original characters. Ex: Pam, Penny’s mom will be changed to Grambles mom, (or at least my interpretation of her) ect.)

*I wanna make all the characters are grumps, npcs, background characters ect. But the player character might be a bit too tricky…

*I’m probably gonna end up editing everyone’s dialogue in one way or another, to keep their characters intact. Writing in Wambus and Gramble’s accents shouldn’t be too hard for me, but I might fuck up a bit on Liz and triffany a little :'0)

*I might swap Floofty and Snorpy’s places?? I feel like it could work out either way but still.

Lemme know what you guys think! Sorry if this got a bit long, I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I needed to get it all out of my system
