Realistic Weather for Stardew Valley

Tired of the same old predictable weather? With Realistic Weather, things just got a lot more interesting! Introduces more dynamic and unpredictable weather, making each day feel different and giving you a fresh farming challenge. Embrace the authentic farming experience and adapt to the ever-changing elements.



Unpredictable Weather Patterns: Say goodbye to monotonous weather cycles. One day could be gloriously sunny, and the next, a sudden storm might roll in. While the weather channel on your TV still provides forecasts, don't be surprised if Mother Nature decides to change the plans!

Stormier Rains: When it rains, expect the unexpected. What starts as a gentle drizzle could escalate into a full-blown storm. Keep an eye on your crops, animals, and tools because thunderstorms might strike without warning.

Diverse Weather Conditions: Experience a variety of weather from sunny days to cloudy skies, rain, storms, and even snow (depending on the season). Each day brings new weather challenges that feel natural and immersive.

Seasonal Restrictions: Rest assured, snowstorms are confined to winter, while summer brings the heat with sunny skies and occasional thunderstorms.

Customizable Weather Chances: Tailor the likelihood of different weather types to suit your gameplay preferences. Adjust settings to increase the frequency of rain for your crops or ensure more sunny days for uninterrupted outdoor activities.

Multilingual Support: Enjoy the game in your native language with translations available in multiple languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Italian, Korean, Turkish, Hungarian, and Traditional Chinese.
