About this mod
Allows you to reach 10 hearts with everyone without having to date every romanceable NPC.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
without romancing several people at once?
This mod removes those restrictions, so you can reach 10 hearts with all NPCs without dating them. It also adds an is-dating check to romantic vanilla events so they only happen with the NPC(s) you're actually dating.
Install
- Install the latest version of SMAPI.
- Unzip the mod folder into Stardew Valley/Mods.
- Run the game using SMAPI.
How to use
Just install the mod, and it'll work automatically! For example, the 9th and 10th hearts on relationships tab of the in-game menu will become unlocked for romanceable NPCs.
Note:
- If you actually want to date an NPC, you still need to give them a bouquet to begin dating and unlock marriage.
- This mod only changes the game mechanics. It doesn't add or rewrite any dialogue or events, so you may still see romantic dialogue from the base game or mods which assume that higher hearts mean you're dating. Mods can support platonic relationships by checking the dating flag, instead of the friendship level.
You can optionally edit the config.json file (generated when you run the game with the mod) to change one setting:
- AddDatingRequirementToRomanticEvents: whether to disable romantic 10-heart events for NPCs you're not dating. Default true.
