Please read this before asking for help or submitting a bug report
If you’re having a problem and need to ask for support
Upload a log to smapi.io, following the instructions there on how to do so even if you think it won’t help. It’s always important.
Explain what’s happening in as detailed a manner as possible. If explaining things will be too difficult for you, then a screen recording (or a recording of your screen with your phone) of the issue happening uploaded to YouTube will help a lot.
Don’t worry if you need to use translation software to translate your messages — that’s perfectly fine. Or feel free to post in your native language and I can translate myself. I'm French, so if you speak French, feel free to post it in this language instead of English.
If you don’t follow the two steps above, it will take longer for me to both get around to your problem and to solve it because I’ll need to ask you to do them anyway.
A more up-to-date version of this mod is available in the East Scarp Discord Server (check the useful files forum) and on my Github (click "Code" then "Download Zip").
This version is currently in beta. It doesn't add much for Rodney himself (except a few bugfixes), but here's where it's at: At the moment, it adds two social NPCs to the game:
Rodney O'Brien.
Edwina O'Brien. (unlockable)
Planned social NPCs:
Meredith O'Brien
Tarroz
It also adds a number of custom items.
It will be available on Nexus once it's done and fully tested.
If you use the beta, please remove the folder [NPC] Rodney O'Brien you got from Nexus!
"Why is Rodney's face in the water?" With Visible Fish, items that can be fished out will show in the water. This is the case with Rodney's autographed photo.
If you don't like seeing the autograph floating around when using Visible Fish, I recommend disabling visible trash in Visible Fish's config. You can also disable autograph spawning in this mod's config.
Hello! I had a cut scene in Rodney's house end abruptly when he wanted me to review his story. Here's my SMAPI log, looks like several content files couldn't be found. I hope I can repeat this missed scene, he's a delightful character and I'm dying to know what the story was now! Thank you for all your hard work on this mod.
Well that's a new one! Sorry for the mess, I'm working on an update at the moment, i'll try and fix this (once it's released, I'll let you know how to repeat the event!)
We hope it isn't anything serious, we just love Rodney, and we would love nothing more than to have him as a roommate! He is literally a ray of sunshine in our game, and he brings us so much joy. Thank you for sharing him with us.🥰❤️
I am aware of the error, it's a compatibility issue with Passerby Cemetery on my end. A fix should be released next week. The error isn't game breaking, it just means Rodney won't appear during Marketpalooza!
And I'm sorry to report, Rodney will never be available as a roommate or a spouse for story reasons. He is available to date, just no marriage!
Darn it... Oh well, we look forward to discovering his story further, because obviously we haven't gotten to that part yet! 😅🥰
Another note: The Writer, The Witch, and The Wardrobe Assistant obviously overwrites the need for this mod, since all of the same characters are in that Mod, however we have "Rodney O'Brien - Mobile Phone Reminisce" Mod which requires this mod to function, which we can't play together with TWTWaTWA. For the time being, we'll remove the Mobile Phone Mod that requires this Mod, but will you make it available with the TWTWaTWA Mod?
Thank you so much for your dedication to writing and creating Mods for East Scarp, and expanding the Stardew Valley Universe with fun and interesting characters.🥰❤️🥰
Hey! Over on the East Scarp server, in the same thread as the beta for The Writer, The Witch, and The Wardrobe Assistant, there is an updated version of the mobile phone pack!
I have a LOT of additional expansions and NPCs added to my game, and I genuinely think Rodney is my favorite. His dialogue makes me snort-laugh constantly. Thank you so much for creating him!!
Hello! I don't know English well, so I can make mistakes. When you talk to Rodney and he says a phrase with Tarot cards, I can't choose an answer. Because of this, the game stops like with any other dialogue with an NPC, but I can't end the dialogue in any way other than shutting down the game. I don't talk to Rodney anymore because I don't want to lose my progress during the day.
Hello, thank you for the report. Do you know which phrase it was? (he has a lot with tarot cards).
If possible, can you upload a log to smapi.io, following the instructions there on how to do so. Without the log of the bug, I'm not sure how to fix the issue!
Hi. I had the same issue and figured out that it was an issue with the translation file. Open Rodney's dialog file, look for the phrase $y and replace it with $y '
Hello! Firstly I want to say I love this mod and wish I could use it but I was experiencing a really odd bug. In the pond in East Scarp the trash (I have the mod visible fish mod here) it showed Rodney's face on a polaroid like object? Like it was his sprite on a polaroid just in the water. It was really confusing and despite me trying to fix it nothing worked to I removed Rodney and everything went back to normal. I haven't seen this bug listed anywhere here so I wanted to let you know! Again I love this mod! Lastly I didn't take a screenshot unfortunely so I don't have proof other than taking my work for it.
Hello, it's not a bug! Using Visible Fish shows a fishable item (Rodney's autographed photo). I recommend disabling "Visible Trash" in Visible Fish's config. If you don't want to, you can also disable autograph spawning in this mod's config (it may impact a special order though).
Nice mod, however when I enter his house, I can't get back out for several hours because he just stands right in the doorway for too long, really frustrating.
Editing this to hide that I'm a total idiot and didn't realize I somehow forgot to install the guy which is why he wasn't showing up. >.< Lesson learned: double check your mods folder before you go asking if you did a dumb, because you prolly did a dumb.
Hi! I just wanted to say how much I enjoy Rodney's character. The fact that he can visit Ridgeside is SUCH a nice touch. I cannot wait for the rest of the fam (fingers crossed that includes Meredith...)
Thank you for your kind comment, I'm glad you appreciate my boy! The rest of the fam will include Meredith indeed! An alpha in already available on the East Scarp Discord server (which is linked in the pinned comment). It includes Edwina with her intro event.
He actually has a dedicated Star Trek outfit for Green Rain (not the same as Spirit's Eve). He has special dialogue for it! (he's basically cosplaying being on an alien planet)

We're getting an error regarding this mod (we think)...

I just about concussed myself laughing. I love Rodney. He's a riot.
Can you provide a smapi log?
(See pins for instructions)
Looking forward to getting to know this guy. <3
