Are you a writer who finds the portrayal of publishing and writing in vanilla Stardew Valley to be a bit off-base? Here it is, the mod for people that love writing almost as much as they love Elliott.
Now updated for 1.6 with a massive overhaul!
This mod:
Important note for installing mid-save: This mod rewrites the code of the 2 heart event to allow for the fourth book option. If you have already seen Elliott's vanilla 2 heart event, use the console command

Now updated for 1.6 with a massive overhaul!
This mod:
- Adds 70 new lines of dialogue: when Elliott is at home or the Saloon, he'll talk about writing; in the library, he'll talk about what he's reading.
- Tweaks all his vanilla heart events to reflect what a more typical career path for a debut writer would look like.
- Rewrites the contents and plot scenarios of his books to be more like what you'd find in a bookstore.
- Adds a fourth book genre (horror) to his 2 heart event based on unused content from the vanilla game.
- Allows you to peek at the book in his house for his book title and comments on his current progress.
- Adds some additional letters at even heart levels. It seems Elliott is also writing to other people around town and over the ridge....
- Adds a new 3 heart event (brainstorming with Elliott). Enter the saloon to trigger.
- Adds a new 5 heart event (beta-reading) if Sunberry is installed.
- Adds six new secret notes (starting at 2 hearts with a new one every heart up to 7) with sneak peeks at Elliott's book and his writing process. (Requires Secret Note Framework)
Important note for installing mid-save: This mod rewrites the code of the 2 heart event to allow for the fourth book option. If you have already seen Elliott's vanilla 2 heart event, use the console command
debug ebi 39
to view the event again, otherwise all of his book-related content will default to the scifi option. (You will need to sleep before the book content will reflect your choice.)For mod authors: you can use Cross-Mod Compatibility Tokens to check Elliott's genre and title! Use
{{Spiderbuttons.CMCT/Dynamic: tiakall.writerelliott, eventbook}} to check his genre (returns Romance, Scifi, Horror or Mystery, and {{Spiderbuttons.CMCT/Dynamic: tiakall.writerelliott, ElliottBook}} for his title.Compatibility:
- Compatible with Platonic Partnerships and Friends
- Compatible with Sweeter than Pomegranates
- Compatible with Elliott Learns Politeness
- This mod adds new locational dialogue in Elliott's house, the library, and the Saloon, so it should be compatible with other dialogue mods as long as they don't do the same. To my knowledge, Canon Friendly and farmerjack's dialogue do not.
- Not compatible with any unmentioned mods that tweak Elliott's vanilla events - if you know of any that do so, let me know and I can talk to the other author about compatibility patches.
- Compatible with Ridgeside Village (adds a couple of penpals for Elliott among the Ridgeside NPCs)
- Compatible with upcoming Sunberry Village (adds a penpal and new event)
- Before you ask: yes, I think this is compatible with SVE again.
