About this mod
Turns Mr.Qi into a fully friendable and marriable NPC with heart events, gift tastes, and much much more!
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits



PSA: I only realized that someone ALSO made a Mr.Qi mod about 75% of the way through development of this one... honestly that didn't deter me from making this in the slightest. I only know the other mod exists, I haven't looked at it yet aside from being told and confirming it's a thing. You can check it out Here
When reporting bugs PLEASE include a SMAPI log and a description of what's wrong. Just saying "it's not working" isn't going to help me fix it!

>He will NOT accept your Stardrop Tea... y'didn't think it'd be that easy, did ya?
>His gift tastes do not account for modded items aside from SVE - the true experience is to struggle befriending this man because let's be real, it would be hard, but if you have mods that add a bunch of universal loves... well I suppose that's easier for you then :)

Integrated/Compatible:
Stardew Valley Expanded: All Festivals were tested to make sure they had compatibility with SVE locations and NPCs. In addition, there are alternate schedules and events that go based off of SVE's maps. I also added events that are specifically SVE adjacent to the game, and dialogue that relates to ... certain events that happen in SVE.
Ridgeside Village: Should be no conflicts - I made sure to modify his Festival positions if the mod is included.
East Scarp: Friendable Mr.Qi also provides patches for the vanilla NPC's textures so he should look sparkly in all events that reference him... even if they seem a bit out of character (or maybe its in character to you who knows)
Other expansion/NPC mods: I also did basic testing with most expansions, should be compatible - his festival positions are out of the way and I moved them if I saw he overlapped with an NPC.
NPCMapLocations: His sprite should show up on the map!
CJB Cheats: I added warps to his room, his office, and to outside his Walnut Room for those who want ez pz access.
Rokugin's Exclusions: Makes it so Cooking and crafting recipes don't count towards perfection!
SpaceCore: Adds descriptions to the furniture items.
Incompatible:
Event Lookup: Unfortunately Event Lookup hasn't been updated to use the new 1.6 preconditions for events - I have a detailed list above that you can look at to figure out what you need to do to trigger them - as they won't show up in his little window :(
Mr.Qi Dialogue Expansion: Not compatible as the default Qi Npc Is rendered invisible and moved, however I got permission from Jaz to include as much of the dialogue within my mod as I want as well as to use it as inspiration - so the mod is essentially built in (thank you Jaz! <3)
Qi Portraits: NOT compatible with any that presently exist, this mod adds 13 new portrait expressions for Mr.Qi (as well as two that aren't him but are used for something else) and therefore other portraits will not work. If you have portrait mods that change him you will have to disable them.
Mx.Qi: Due to some of the config options I have for my mod, you get to choose what honorific Qi goes by. As such, my mod edits all references to Mr. Qi to follow whatever you select it to be. This means it probably edits the stuff that this mod edits - so it will not be compatible nor will you need it - my mod also edits those areas to make sure he does not call you 'kid' if you choose to switch that too.
Craftable Qi Seasoning: This is a mod that I made that is now integrated within Friendable Mr.Qi - do not install both, you dont need them and i have no clue what that would do or if it would break anything. This also applies for any other mods that add a recipe for the seasoning.
Mister Qi Is A Real NPC: Honestly I have no clue if this is compatible, I don't know how they edit Mr.Qi or turn him into an NPC, but the likilhood is that it's not, so don't install them both.
Any mod that adds Craftable Auto-Petters: Technically they might work if they name the recipe something else, but for the most part avoid those as well.
Misc: Any other mods that edit the right side of the casino
Any mod that edits the Walnut Room... I couldn't find one but if it does it won't work with mine
Recolor mods will technically work but I have some custom tilesheets so the wallpapers in his room will look weird, it is possible for mod authors to target these assets to recolor them as well for recolor compatibility, but I do NOT have the time or patience for that B')
Other than that it should not conflict with anything else but if you find anything let me know :)

- Add Qi to Ridgeside's festivals + add dialogue for conversation topics the mod adds, and gift tastes for Ridgeside Items
- More alternative events for those who somehow marry him without seeing them first
- Add dialogue for Jorts and Jean's conversation topics
- Add EVEN MORE more cutscenes... (if I decide I don't hate Events with a burning passion anymore)

Known Bugs + Bug Reporting:
- If you cheat into Qi's Walnut Room you will not be able to purchase the Gem Weapons... don't cheat, Qi is watching
- On the first day of unlocking the Casino, if you try to click on his door it'll spam red into your SMAPI Console. This is technically because he doesn't exist yet, and will go away on day 2 (I could not, for the life of me, fix this)
- Qi will still kill you if you cheat onto the Summit while married or dating... I can't fix this, and even if I could I wouldn't because it's kinda funny and also, don't cheat
- Qi's dialogue in other mods will be funky fresh and will not match up.
Again, when reporting bugs PLEASE include a SMAPI log and a description of what's wrong. Just saying "it's not working" isn't going to help me fix it! There is no feasible way I can test everything in this mod or every dialogue line so I'm sure some of it's broken, I'll fix it ASAP when bugs are noticed.
Translation:
This mod is fully and completely translateable! If you would like to translate this mod feel free to upload it to Nexus with this one as a dependancy (DO NOT upload any code, ONLY your translation file) for more info on how to do that see This webpage.

And a VERY special thank you to Button for making a mod for something I really wanted for this mod, and Jazzybee for allowing me to use their Mr.Qi Dialogue Expansion content IN my mod.
