[ What Does This Mod Do? ]
Adds a wandering personification of the Living Hat via Custom Companions.
Living Hat is not quite an NPC, but it has dialogue and can communicate with the farmer in human language.
It's set up to spawn in Cindersap Forest in various locations during particular conditions (season, weather, date, time, etc.)
[ What is the Living Hat? ]
Living Hat is a unique hat introduced in Stardew Valley 1.4.0
In case you weren't aware, according to my internet research, the Living Hat is the rarest hat in the game.
It has a 1/100,000 chance of dropping from destroying weeds.

[ FAQ ]
Can I befriend Living Hat?
In spirit, yes. As far as the game mechanics for social relationships, no.
Can I give gifts to Living Hat?
Giving gifts to NPCs is part of the game's friendship mechanics, so, no. Your kindness is the best gift to Living Hat.
Where did Living Hat come from?
In the base game, the Living Hat is not sold by the Hat Mouse; it's obtained, rarely, by cutting weeds or killing Wilderness Golems.
In this mod, the implied lore is that it would have been sold at the hat shop but it escaped and now lives in stealth in the forest under the cover of a bush.
Any future plans?
Perhaps. If enough people are interested I may expand on this mod and develop the story of Living Hat.
At the very least, I'd like to add some expressions to its portrait, send more letters in the mail, and maybe add some conversation topics for better immersion.
