I love the look of these butterflies in game! Also, FYI, SMAPI posts:
[SMAPI] No update keys [SMAPI] -------------------------------------------------- [SMAPI] These mods have no update keys in their manifest. SMAPI may not notify you about updates for these [SMAPI] mods. Consider notifying the mod authors about this problem.
For anyone new to modding Stardew Valley: This is a Content Patcher mod, which is safe install & uninstall. You need SMAPI for that to work. Don't worry it's painless to install and standard. Everyone modding should use SMAPI, and Content Patcher for that matter.
If you see an older mod that uses .xnb, assume they will either no longer work or break something in your game. However, for simpler mods like this it's very easy to convert them to working Content Patcher mods, check it's download page or HERE.
In response to XxTheLightSphinxxX, drop this unzipped folder into Stardew Valley/Mods. Have fun
It is compatible with 1.6 and I doubt will ever change with the way SMAPI and the game update. It only edits part of the "critters" tilesheet. If you check the content.json, you can see how little is changed
I recently saw this mod and saw it wasn't updated so I've updated the Content Patcher version of the mod for everyone :) *-------------------------* Content Patcher Version [ Download ] Install Path Stardew valley/Mods *-------------------------*
hmm, how to install it? I get this message: [SMAPI] Skipped mods[SMAPI] --------------------------------------------------[SMAPI] These mods could not be added to your game.[SMAPI] - Mi's and eemie's Butterflies-1111-1 because it's not a SMAPI mod (see https://smapi.io/xnb for info).
Nevermind, they are working using the updated content patcher version provided by Aiyamiki in the comment, despite me getting an error message from SMAPI 🤔
Looks like this is incompatible with the new 1.5 update, since the update adds new critters. ;__; The CP version just replaces the entire sheet, so the content.json would have to be restructured to replace the individual butterfly sprites...
It's a pain, but you can use another loader and copy/paste the butterflies you want over other ones. You just have to line them up correctly and save with the transparency intact. I use Elle's Town Animals as my loader. You can disable everything else if all you want is your butterflies, and you can either select the specific butterflies you want, or random any of them. :)

Hi, I've made a Custom Critters (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1255/?tab=description) version of this mod. Would it be okay to upload it, as it's compatible with the newest version of the game? (I'd obviously keep your names as the original modders, and reference back to here.)
I have created a Nexus page for the Custom Critters version. If either of Campanulamis or eemie are not okay with this, I am very happy to take it down.
These are so beautiful!! I'm making a custom critters mod with a thousand butterflies - could I possibly use these sprites as part of it, crediting and linking to this of course? Thanks again for sharing these!

[SMAPI] - Mi's and Eemie's Butterflies
seems the original file is .xnb and the .png conversions below replace the ENTIRE critter file.
So:
Download here
This replaces only the butterflies, any other critters in the file will be whatever you would usually get.
Tested on own game
