Compatibilities

Compatible with Stardew Valley Expanded.
If SVE is installed, Douglas will follow a schedule similar to Morgan's, exploring the maps added or expanded by SVE. All rooms and other content are fully compatible with SVE.

Compatible 
with East Scarp

Compatible with Diverse Stardew Valley
Now compatible thanks to AirynS!

A little compatibility to avoid issues like NPCs staying in the same place

Compatible with Little Red School.
If the Little Red School House mod is installed and the necessary events are seen, children will now use the school instead of the library. This is a great feature that allows for easier compatibility with bigger mods like Rsv, so I highly recommend the Little Red School House mod.

Compatible with The Farmer's Children
A little compatibility to avoid issues like NPCs staying in the same place

Compatible with Less Ugly Town Interiors
Now compatible thanks to AirynS! This mod changes the interiors in the town from the main game. This compatibility changes the interiors modified with this mod.


Compatible with Community Center Reimagined
"If you are using the Community Center Reimagined mod released by Lemurkat and children are using the Community Center instead of school, you should True. Not compatible with the SVE modified community center. Should remain False if you are using Town School." (Community Center should remain false until it is restored)

Incompatible Looking For Love Redux

Not tested 
with Mobile Version
*I don't know anything about the mobile version, so it is very difficult for me to add compatibility or test whether it is compatible or not, all I can say for now is that I think SKE will not work on mobile until the necessary frameworks are updated.* (Incompatible in versions before 0.7 and not tested in versions after 0.7)



*Required mods
Content Patcher
Custom NPC Exclusions

Community Center Reimagined and Little Red School House (Highly Recommended) 
Excellent for compatibility Thanks to these two great mods, it's easier to be compatible with more mods. If you use both at the same time, please remember to specify which one the children will use as school in the configuration file.




Stardew Valley Expanded
(Highly Recommended) 
SVE's expanded wizarding world brings the character of Douglas to life. Will be supported by events in the near future.



Alternate Portraits for Stardew Kids Expansion, Talkohlooeys Style Portaits for Stardew Kids Expansion
and Diverse Stardew Valley 
If you want a new portrait and sprite, these mods do a great job.


FAQS

Why Kids are missing from some festivals
Some children were temporarily excluded from some festivals due to compatibility adjustments. This is mainly because I'm having a hard time finding a suitable place for the kids' map changes. The important thing now is to have kids at important events like Winter Star.
It might be a little bit missing in the fall season.


Where are the kid's rooms?
Every kids's have family has a room in their home and to enter these rooms you have to use doors that are mostly built into the walls. If you don't see the doors, it might be because you are using a different mod that changes the interior maps. If you have a mod you would like me to make compatible please leave me a comment with the mod name and a description. I can't try all the mods that change the internal maps one by one to see which mods the mod is compatible with. 
For now it is compatible with SVE. 

If I marry a wizard/witch, will Douglas move into my house?
No, no, no. There's no way I can do that. Douglas will continue to live in the wizard's tower. 
Maybe in the future I can try different things to change this, but I will try that after the 1.6 update.
And no, I still can't send Douglas directly to your farmhouse, that's one of the things that the game code doesn't allow.

Is this mod not being updated?
The reason I don't update as often is that I'm currently studying at university and I don't have as much time for this as I used to because of the responsibilities of normal life. Nevertheless, I continue mod designing as a hobby, so this mod continues to receive updates, just slower.
(Although Burak Meşe has passed away, we will continue the fashion if we continue to receive a lot of requests.)

Permissions:
Translation for any language (if a translation already exists but is not being updated, contact the me first)

and others.

    "TinaBow": A simple portrait change that adds a hat to Tina is the default false

    "FemaleWizard":"Gender swaps dialogue referring to Douglas' parents, for those who have a female wizard mod installed. Currently, the mod auto-detects if Razolyn the Magnificent or Romanceable Rasmodia are installed, but if you have a different female wizard mod you can manually set this."

    "VisitKrobus": "If True is select, Douglas will visit Krobus on rainy days. I recommend False if you are roommates with Krobus."

    "CCR": "If you are using the Community Center Reimagined mod released by Lemurkat and children are using the Community Center instead of school, you should True. Not compatible with the SVE modified community center. Should remain False if you are using Town School." (Community Center should remain false until it is restored)
