About this mod

More than likely, at some point you've run into the following situation with your spouse - you gift a villager with a bouquet (or previously bouqueted), and when you give them a gift and they're the same gender as your spouse, you have a chance to get the following dreaded line:

"So...I heard you secretly gave <Villager> a gift today... Do I have to be suspicious of you? ... "

It's unpleasant and meant to guilt you into staying monogamous with your spouse, but there are several situations where you might run into it and have them be jealous for absolutely no reason. For example:

  • You're using Platonic Partners and Friendships, and are giving a bouquet as a platonic expression of your friendship
  • You're using Free Love or a successor mod and in a polyamorous relationship, and you might be playing as if you and your spouse having feelings for the person in question
  • You gave a bouquet to someone and were indeed being cruel by romancing them and not marrying them, but now can't really "break up" with them, or
  • If you really want to twist the knife, you're intentionally playing as a terrible person and want to escape the consequences of jealousy. (Or in other words, you're a known heartbreaker to the town, and people should... probably know better than to fall for someone like you.)

In these situations, seeing your spouse get jealous... sucks. Relationships are built on trust, and if you're being faithful it feels accusatory and wrong. Thanks to this mod (and Stardew Valley 1.6's new mod features) it can be a thing of the past!

This mod has two modes with which to modify jealousy responses - Replace and Remove. By default, the mod replaces the jealousy response - because it's not that unlikely your spouse will hear about you gifting people in town! They'll even remark on the gift you gave them (so yes, you can get some funny results if the jealousy response triggers and you gifted Shane trash while married to Sebastian). The dialogues are meant to point out that yes, you can give platonic gifts without it being something problematic, while also taking into account the spouse's personality.

Alternatively, if you just don't want to ever have to deal with that response happening ever again, and don't even want a dialogue replacer, you can choose to remove the jealousy response. This just sets each active (vanilla) datable to be unable to get jealous, and you won't ever see those lines ever again. 

A few quick likely questions:

I gave a gift to a different marriageable candidate, but my spouse isn't using any of the dialogue from this mod in replace mode! What gives?


Spousal jealousy, on top of just giving a gift to a marriage candidate, has a couple other requirements to trigger. Specifically:
  • Roommates don't get jealous (point for Krobus!)
  • The person you gift must be the same gender as your spouse (so Abigail won't get jealous if you gift Sebastian, but can if you gift Leah)
  • It can't be their birthday (so a birthday gift is fine and won't trigger a formerly-jealous response)
  • You have to be "dating" them (so they have to have been given a bouquet)
  • Finally, even if the rest of these conditions are met, there's still a luck factor as to whether the dialogues are given.

Given the new fields specifically patch the jealousy response, the only likely bugs are if it chooses the original jealousy response somehow. Otherwise, if the dialogues don't fire, you managed to succeed on the jealousy luck check, congratulations!

Does this mod prevent the friendship loss that comes with the jealousy response?


Yes indeed it does. By default, it sets the friendship penalty to 0, but if you think it might be better for your spouse to appreciate your gifts to others, you can set it in the config to "positive" and it will invert the loss of friendship (otherwise known as instead of losing 30 friendship points, you will instead gain 30 friendship points if it triggers).

What if I want to only have some candidates get jealous, but not others (e.g. Yandere mod compatibility)?


You can do that too! This mod is fully modular - you can turn off any of the changes to any potential spouse. Feel free to have Elliott get jealous while Sebastian is chill with anything, or Haley get angry at you while Penny appreciates your attempts at befriending the town. It's up to you!
Does this affect any marriage candidates other than vanilla candidates?


In a one way sense, yes. Jealousy lines may fire if you give a marriage candidate a gift of the same gender from another mod (so Abigail could get jealous of Sophia or Flor from SVE or RSV), and the lines are appropriate even for them. However, this does not alter jealousy responses of those characters - that will require a content pack for each mod or the mod themselves will have to alter that field for them. There may be small expansions to this for other mods, but for now this only covers vanilla.

Feel free to leave any bug reports on the mod page and I'll try and have them fixed when possible.

If you'd like to translate the mod, please ask first! The mod is i18ned so I am very willing to have translations, but I would also prefer to be informed of translations of my mods.
