Make sure to always read the mod descriptions, requirements, AND the “Posts” tab of nexus mods!
Some of the links are to the chucklefish forums, which you have to have an account on to download the files.
Some of these may not work with the 1.5 update. To use them, you can move assets around, merge them with other mods, etc. The DIYCP Suite mod can possibly help if there’s a mod you want to use that no longer works! You can message me if you’re having trouble or check in with the page of the mod (linked above). Can’t promise I can help but I do like to problem-solve lol.
I will likely continue to edit and add to this post for my own benefit so the links may change from time-to-time <3
happy modding!
If this is your first time using mods and you’ve stumbled across this post, have no fear! Here’s a handy little guide for modding!
—————————————————————————-
Modding Necessities
SMAPI (must have this installed to mod - see instructions page linked above about modding stardew)
Content Patcher
Json Assets (I know that there have been some recent bugs with the 1.5 update so I am currently using an older version - 1.7.1 - that seems to work just fine)

Spacecore
Some mods might also require Content Patcher Animations & Mail Framework Mod
General Utility (and some cheats)
Chests Anywhere
Tidy Crafting Menu
CJB Item Spawner (not recommended if you haven’t finished most things in the game before - it’s mostly something I use if I create a new save in lieu of not being able to continue another one so that I can catch up to where I was, or if I want to spawn furniture bc #aesthetic)
NPC Map Locations
Generic Mod Config Menu (I have never used this but I know a lot of mods suggest you do - it comes down to whether or not you want to configure your mods in-game or whether you’re content with doing your configuring outside of playing, using the config files!)
