Updating compatibility with popular mods
This mod has (limited) compatibility with other mods and expansions such as Stardew Valley Expanded, but I do not guarantee full compatibility. Please report any compatibility issues you may find, and I will do my best to include fixes in future updates.
If you are adding this mod to an existing save, it is recommended that you use Reset Terrain Features if you notice any map weirdness like trees clipping into buildings.
