Sandy is one of my favorite characters in the game. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a whole lot going on--relegated to the desert, where all she really does is run her shop. This mod aims to change that!
Sandy now has additional dialogue and has heart events! Five (5) to be exact. And a bunch more if you have the Rival Hearts Events with Emily set to true!
Sandy now has a more dynamic schedule! After the bus is repaired and you've viewed some of her events, she will attend festivals and visit Pelican Town--on Sundays, Fridays, and Tuesdays (in winter). If you have Ridgeside Village installed, she will also attend their two festivals. If you have Surfing Festival installed, she should now attend that festival as well (thanks Casey for granting permission to add her!). If you have the Fireworks Festival installed, she will attend that one as well.
Sandy will have a quest and a couple of special orders once you complete that quest.
As alluded to above, there is an optional Rival Hearts story-line with Sandy and Emily! This is configurable, but is defaulted to FALSE.

RIVAL HEART EVENTS
COMPATIBILITY
Is this compatible with Canon-Friendly Dialogue? Yes! Most of the dialogue I've touched is map-specific and is focused on her dialogue outside of the Oasis, so there should be very little overlap. Sandy will have randomized dialogue at the bus stop, in town, at the library, at the beach, and at the saloon. This was to allow her to have her normal Oasis-related dialogue if you happen to drop in on her before she leaves the store, while also preventing her from saying Oasis-related stuff while she's in the middle of Pelican Town.
Is this compatible with Stardew Valley Expanded? Sort of. I have not gone out of my way to match SVE's Sandy-lore, but the festival positions and festival dialogue in this mod have been disabled when SVE is installed. SVE has Sandy visiting on Saturdays after you've seen her 5-heart event so with both mods installed, she will definitely be at the Oasis a lot less. Events should play just fine but SVE makes quite a number of interior map changes, so I can't guarantee you won't spawn in a bookcase or get stuck in a wall. No Clip Mode is your friend!
Is this compatible with Looking for Love? This is a complicated question and will largely depend on your settings. Once again, I have disabled the festival positions and festival dialogue in my mod when LFL is installed (exception: she will still attend RSV festivals since there's no risk of overlap). If you have LFL, but don’t have Sandy set to dateable that means she won’t show up at festivals. This is not the end of the world and only a very small part of this mod, but if this is the case for you, then that’s why she’s not showing up. Most events should play just fine. There is one heart event above 8 hearts on the non-rival track and three events above 8 hearts in the rival hearts track, so make sure you are able to get to 10 hearts with Sandy. I believe the only scenario where this would be an issue is if you have her set to dateable in LFL’s config but don’t actually ever date her, locking you out of anything above 8 hearts. So to see all her events, you either set her to be non-dateable, or set her to be dateable and actually, you know, date her! LFL doesn't touch her schedule pre-marriage, so there should be no conflicts there. If you marry Sandy, LFL’s marriage schedule will take over her day-to day life. Story-wise, LFL and the Rival Hearts option probably won't make much sense together. Nothing should break, but there isn't a polyamory branch, so dating/marrying Sandy won't make a whole lot of sense while she and Emily are dating, but you can use your imagination of course.
Is this compatible with Sandy's Less Ugly House and Haley’s Less Ugly House? Yes for the most part b/c thankfully NPCs don’t know walls exist! The events set at the Oasis involve little movement and should be unobstructed with Less Ugly installed. I have also made the drop-off spot for Sandy's special orders at the counter, which is present in the same spot in Less Ugly as it is in vanilla. I have also tested the events in Less Ugly Haley’s House to ensure compatibility (one event will look a smidge-weird for like 10 seconds but it’ll play). If I have missed something that actually freezes your game/event though, let me know :)
Is it compatible with Platonic Partners and Friendships? Yes I think so but if you run into any issues, please let me know! If you are using the Rival Hearts option for Emily and Sandy but also max out Emily to 10 hearts I think you might miss some of her dialogue where she talks about dating Sandy (only because at the present time that dialogue is set for 8 hearts, b/c I presume most people with Emily at 10 hearts are also dating her). I may be able to change this in the future but please know that you're only missing about 6 lines of dialogue. No biggie!
FUTURE PLANS
At the time of writing this (7/14/23), I don't have future plans for this mod. I'd like to be able to focus on other projects, so while I will take care of bugs if they arise and will make any necessary updates for Stardew Valley 1.6, the mod should be considered complete.
TRANSLATIONS
It would be nice if you asked but honestly, *shrug*. Right now, I am not good at the i18n thing, so if you want to translate go ahead! The more the merrier, as long as my mod is credited. <3
OTHER MODS SHOWN IN THESE SCREENSHOTS
Too many to name probably but the main one you're probably wondering about is Sandy. This is of course Poltergeister's Sandy but I am specifically using her Seasonal Portraits, which you can find as a DSV add-on pack.
