Frequently Asked Questions Note: Most information can be found on the wiki!
Is this mod compatible with Stardew Valley Expanded/East Scarp/Free Love/etc? Yes! Ridgeside Village has no known incompatible mods so far. However, this is not to say no issues will arise when mixing and matching mods on an existing save - It just means you will have to manually fix these issues the first time they appear. See our common bugs wiki page for more info.
Does RSV work on mobile? Yes, but only for the 1.5.6 version of Stardew, which requires more framework mods - Please refer to the detailed install guide here.
How do I install this mod? Please see the detailed install guide here. Please also make sure you have all the mod requirements installed - These are listed both under the Nexus Requirements section, and on the wiki Install Guide page.
Can I add RSV to an existing save? Yes, you can! Please see this section of the install guide for information about mid-save installs.
Help! There's a bunch of trees on top of the buildings! Random trees and bushes in odd places are caused by updating RSV from a pre-2.0 version. Use the unofficial update version of Reset Terrain Features to clear them.
Why isn't X's heart event triggering? If you're having trouble triggering an event, we recommend using Event Lookup to see what conditions you have yet to meet.
Where are the Ridgeside villagers in vanilla festivals? By default, Ridgeside's characters have their own area for any festival held in Pelican Town that's located a bit outside the normal festival map. (Eg. By the fountain in town, across the bridge on the beach.) You can disable this option in the config settings.
The game keeps crashing while loading, but I'm not getting any errors in my log? This occurs when you overload your machine and cause the current process to hang. To prevent this, wait patiently while the game loads and do not touch anything! It will load eventually, we promise. Please see the note below as well.
Help, it's taking forever to load! Any large mod will take a long time to load the first time you load a save with it. After saving once, the load time should decrease significantly. You can try going to Farm Type Manager's config settings and changing "Monster Limit Per Location" to 30 or so to decrease lag in-game. You should also make sure not to have any obsolete mods like PyTK or TMXL installed.
Are there any seasonal outfits for the villagers? Yes, there are! You can download them here :)

Keahi pranked you! ;) It will be gone the next day, but if you'd like it gone ASAP, take a bath for at least an hour.
-------------------------------------------------- Compatibility with Other Mods As mentioned above, RSV is pretty much compatible with any mod out there because it barely messes with vanilla content outside of a tiny patch on the Bus Stop and Backwoods maps. However, a few mods modify game mechanics in a way that can sometimes overlap with RSV - the issues and their solutions are detailed in the link below.
If you run into any incompatibility issues not mentioned above, please let us know and we will try our best to address the root of the problem on our end. -------------------------------------------------- Mods for RSV
Diverse Stardew Valley Adds seasonal outfit compatibility for vanilla NPCs during Ridgeside festivals and adds diversity compatibility to Lenny, Bert and Trinnie.

Hello, I received an invitation to the Emerson family banquet, but I didn't attend on the day. Afterwards, I tried going to the Emerson mansion but nothing happened. Did I miss the event because I didn't go on the scheduled day? I remember previously triggering a similar event where I didn't receive the letter - are there two versions of this event? I only found one related event on the wiki. Could it be that the letter arrived late?
will any black npcs be added ever? im having such a hard time finding expansions that dont have one token brown npc and no black npcs and i like this mod but its disappointing a bit.
I had a bug/error happen where I had the grandma event happen after getting the old lucky foxtail charm and the bug/error was that the event wouldn't end.
For some reason when I installed the mod and tried to start the game the game said that the mod was installed wrong, even post uninstalling and reinstalling it, thought I would share this in case it is a overall mod issue. Though if it is user error I apologize for causing any concern over nothing. going to leave the mod disabled for now though.
Hello! There are two special requests that I can't seem to complete. There is a Pika request (to deliver 5 dishes) and a Flor request (for clothing items) that show up on the board but whenever I select them, they do not show up in my journal. The board acts as if I took a request (goes faded, won't let you choose anything else, etc). I have been able to do all of the other special requests without an issue and it is now to the point that only these two show up each week. What am I doing wrong?! I tried looking for an answer online but any directions would be appreciated!
