Just wanted to apologize for the fact that the mod has been broken for a bit over a month now. I've fixed the issue so all should work again!
Also I wanted to add that with the 3.16.0 update and the Happy Birthday English Content Pack 1.2.0 update I've attempted to fix the broken birthday events for both Leah and Penny when Stardew Valley Expanded is installed so hopefully you should no longer get frozen with those.
I'm not currently planning on adding SDVE npc birthday events since I have yet to actually do a playthrough with the mod myself, but the support should be there to add it in, if someone else wishes to do so via ContentPacks. Maybe I'll change my mind on this myself one day, but it'll have to be when I have the time to sit down and complete a playthrough with mods myself. :)
Anyways, please let me know if you run into any issues, since I know that sometimes my development environments can be structured a bit differently than a fresh install sometimes.
Just dropped a new updated, v 3.15.0 which should address the following changes
Add generic birthday party dialogue for non-supported modded spouses.
Add generic gift-asking dialogue for non-supported modded spouses.
Add the ability to have custom dialogue for gift-asking events for spouses.
Add support for generic belated birthday wishes for mail for npcs, so that mailboxes don't crash or cause errors for modded npcs.
Content Packs now are the source for events as they are no longer included in the main mod's files.
Added basic controller functionality for menus, though no snappy movement sadly
Hopefully a fix for menus being positioned off screen where it would prevent gameplay from progressing.
Please go download the English content pack for the event files and new dialogue changes as they are necessary.
Other than that, the good changes with this mod is that content packs support events, so it should be easier to release content packs for custom npcs. Also if a modded npc is not supported with dialogue, there are now fallbacks for their mail message as well as generic dialogue for all modded spouses as a fallback as well. That means custom spouses like the ones added in Stardew Valley Expanded should be supported in the sense that they will have all of the spouse events and *hopefully* won't crash the game anymore.
Once again thank you for all of your patience with me over the years as I know there can be wide gaps between updates. I appreciate all of the support and please let me know if any errors pop up as I imagine there will be with the events moving to the content pack system. In the chance that something does break, the old version of this mod 3.14.1 should still be available to download. :)
Just wanted to let you all know that there is a new update to both the mod and it's respective official content pack https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11148. That should hopefully fix some issues revolving around files not being able to be extracted properly as well as *hopefully* finally fixing some of the pesky issues with players not seeing some of the spouse events as I consolidated both the event where your spouse asks you for your favorite gift and the one where you celebrate your birthday into two individual files instead of having them spread across six different ones (3 per event depending on your farmhouse upgrade).
Please let me know (in this post or a bug report, or even a DM) if there are more bugs that I'm not aware of at the moment, and I'll try to address them when I have some time.
As always thanks for the support and happy farming!
Thanks so much for your mod! I tried testing it on a new farm on Spring 1 a few times, and unfortunately the mail from parents doesn't seem to work. I click on the icon but nothing comes up, I can't see any mail in the menu, and I receive no money. Any idea why? SMAPI log here: https://smapi.io/log/f4aace3f99754b3b933c74e66dce8cc2
I have this issue too. It's not like I can save the game because Smapi has an "auto save" and every time I start my game, Lewis shows up in my door and keeps asking me my birthday date.
I don't know if this question has been asked before or not, i wanted to post this on bugs report though i wasn't sure if it was intentional behavior or not so i'm posting it here. When i play local co-op i get to choose my birthday as normal but my friend who joined in the game doesn't, Lewis asking for your birthday event never happens for them, is there a way to fix this or is it intentional? Or is there a way to get their birthday without requiring Lewis event? Once again, sorry if the question has already been asked before, i wasn't sure if it was a bug or not so i ended up asking it here.
Having the same issue! If we both walk out simultaneously, we get the event, but then she freezes when I click through it. She stopped freezing if I complete the scene all the way through, but never gets asked for her birthday :/
Since Smapi has updated too version 4.1.10 and Stardew valley has updated for 1.6.9 on mobile recently will this mod work for mobile with the updates or do i need too download extra mods too get it too work on mobile, if not does it have plans too update for mobile and could you possibly give a date?
I just downloaded the mod (a few days into the game though, not for a new save) and it won't let me pick my birthday? i don't get lewis and i don't get any option to pick a birthday?
Hello, I was trying to use a 24hour clock (I was trying to use 24H clock language) unfortunately it conflicts with. Is this a way to make it compatible? Or it is something it can't be done, or this a matter for the creator of the 24Hour mod.
FOund it. You go to the location you have your Mods and look for the Happy Birthday > data. You should see either one folder or various folders, depending on how many save files you have were you ahve already chosen your characters b-day. You can verify which save file it is by going into the folder and opening the JSON file that doesn't say "_VillagerBirthdayGiftsQueue" with a notepad. There, you'll see the name of your character and you'll be able to change the date there. Do a backup of the file before changing anything. I hope I was able to explain myself well enough and that this helps you

Every time I restart my game he will be outside of my home asking for my birthday.
Idk what to do, honestly.
Evelyn telling my character 'happy birthday' made me tear up a little since both of my grandmas have passed 😭💕
