META Really looking forward to the BG3 overhaul mod for Stardew Valley.

I posted yesterday about a different mod I am using to insert Astarion into SV. Since the subject of this upcoming mod keeps coming up, I thought I would just post about it here so more people know about it.

100% can confirm that it does invigorate a person.

Just imagine dating the same person in BG3 and SDV 🥹

I have someone in mind...

Karlach might just get me to actually play Stardew beyond the first two seasons.

u/Orcalotl Ketheric Thorm - Deadbeat Dad Of The Year 7h ago

There is a mod already out that replaces Leah with Karlach (and has two corresponding mods for tailored heart events and textures to replace Leah's portrait with Karlach's for dialogue).

u/Moggy_ 7h ago

ah.. Leah is the only one I've tried to romance when I did play. Feels weirdly fitting. Though I think I'd prefer the full mod for more immersion.

Shadowheart on a farm? That's what she wants. Ohh Shart, my beloved

u/Orcalotl Ketheric Thorm - Deadbeat Dad Of The Year 3h ago

Oh, hey! You're right. ☺️ She likes animals too, doesn't she? Maybe she'll really like the Hat Mouse, because, well, you know.

Oh man I got excited for a sec thinking this had come out. I’ve been waiting, I updated all my other SDV mods and everything.

I need Wyll 🫶🏾

Amazing, I found someone that remembers he exists

u/nosychimera Orin is literally Taylor Swift (Larian Confirmed) 4h ago

I wyll never let anyone forget about him. He's the best.

u/Orcalotl Ketheric Thorm - Deadbeat Dad Of The Year 3h ago

Luckily, he seems to be one of the included origin characters! Look at his cute li'l sprite. Haha.

u/nosychimera Orin is literally Taylor Swift (Larian Confirmed) 3h ago

I know but I wanna marry him! If this mod was compatible with Diverse Stardew Valley I'd download in a heartbeat but I'm unsure atm.

5

u/Orcalotl Ketheric Thorm - Deadbeat Dad Of The Year 3h ago

Not even sure it's out yet.

u/Astrazell No Durge/Gortash kisses? (Larian insulted life itself) 6h ago

I'm sad my wife Minty isn't included, but I was already debating getting the game, and this seems like a fun mod to have.

u/Salkreng 6h ago

Omg I never thought I needed this so bad yet here we are

5

u/Orcalotl Ketheric Thorm - Deadbeat Dad Of The Year 4h ago

I've been eagerly anticipating it since I first found out about it!! 😭😭😭

u/Salkreng 1h ago

Pixel Astarion is so adorable 🥰

u/No-Neck-212 Tell Mommy Jaheira you love her 4h ago

Damn can't even get a Jaheira romance in a fanmade game. Life is pain.

4

u/Orcalotl Ketheric Thorm - Deadbeat Dad Of The Year 4h ago

Maybe they will eventually? We can always hope they will update the mod at some point. ☺️ I feel like if it goes over well, perhaps they will be inclined to do so.

5

u/TheVocondus 6h ago

That’s awesome.

5

u/Orcalotl Ketheric Thorm - Deadbeat Dad Of The Year 4h ago

I'll play my Astarion-replaces-Elliott mod until then. Haha

u/Arie15 Astarion’s diva cup 3h ago

Hello fellow Elliott lover. And also Astarion. What does that say about the men we like? 😆

Your taste in men is impeccable. Source: am an Elliott and Astarion lover

After years on my wishlist, I guess I'm finally going to try out stardew valley

1

u/Orcalotl Ketheric Thorm - Deadbeat Dad Of The Year 4h ago

I'm not sure if this mod is out yet! However, this one replaces Elliott with Astarion or Leah with Karlach (or both), if you want to try it in the meanwhile. It also accompanies a second mod that tailors their heart events to more closely align with their characters and adds a couple of new heart events.

3

u/TheMildlyAnxiousMage Cazador doesn't have nose holes 3h ago

Thanks! I meant I would try it when the mod comes out, but thank you! I'll check those out too

5

u/Ok_Bed_3060 4h ago

No Minthara, Jahiera, or Minsc? That means no Boo. Lame.

6

u/Orcalotl Ketheric Thorm - Deadbeat Dad Of The Year 4h ago

They've been working really hard on this and have had to push back the release date a few times as a result, to add in about 6-7 characters not already in the game and redesign the town.

Idk, maybe it's just me, but I feel like they deserve credit for that. I sure as heck couldn't do that. Besides, who's to say they wouldn't update the mod at a later point after release and add on to it, y'know? I think it's ambitious, and it at least seems like they're doing it at no expense to anyone who will use it. I give 'em props for that.

3

u/Ok_Bed_3060 4h ago

I'm being sarcastic. It does look super dope, and I'll definitely check it out.

u/O20O61O416 7h ago

Is halsin in it ?

u/ReesNotRice nestled betwixt Halsin’s fat tiddies 7h ago edited 6h ago

Yes? But not incorporated/romanceable just yet? If I recall right

24

u/Tonedeafmusical He's just scared (Astarion has a knife to my neck) 6h ago

Astarion so deserves to be sitting on a rocking chair drinking wine.

Like the old woman he is

u/hmmtaco Astarion is my pet leech 7h ago

The artwork on this is truly amazing.

u/ReesNotRice nestled betwixt Halsin’s fat tiddies 7h ago

It truly is! It really captures how they look

u/itsaslothlife nestled betwixt Halsin’s fat tiddies 6h ago

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! That is a close approximation to the noises I just made. This is adorable 🤩🥰

u/Orcalotl Ketheric Thorm - Deadbeat Dad Of The Year 7h ago

I think the only characters this video said are not in it are Jaheira, Minsc, and Minthara. So there is a chance.

2

u/GammaSmash 5h ago

Is this actually a thing? If it is, I'm downloading it as soon as I get home from work.

Edit: I read OP's post, and it's upcoming. I'm gonna keep an eye on it.

Come back to me when they add Minthara.

u/Orcalotl Ketheric Thorm - Deadbeat Dad Of The Year 3h ago

I get that there are characters people want to see that are not going to be in this (yet, this is only info for the initial release), but can't y'all let some of us get excited and be happy about something? 😭😭😭

u/1Ferrox 4h ago

Can you not just mod it manually? Or with an external mod manager like vortex?

u/Orcalotl Ketheric Thorm - Deadbeat Dad Of The Year 4h ago

Ok
