This mod adds a new pair of brother and sister vendors in town who sell recipes, machines, weapons, and cooking ingredients.

There are different wares every day, so make sure to check back as often as you can if you are looking for something specific.

Khadija’s Recipe Shop stand is in town from Sun-Fri from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. located at the old ice-cream stand set up right by the lower bridge. And the Equipment Shop is open Saturdays from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. Both stands are closed in the summer.

Non-Destructive NPCs

Best Stardew Valley Mods

Usually when you place an item in front of an NPC in the direction they are going, they will destroy the item as they walk through.

This mod changes that so instead an NPC will stop in front of the item, stare at it for a second, and then peacefully pass through it. You won’t have to worry about placing items in preferred paths anymore.

Giant Crops

Best Stardew Valley Mods

Small crops are for beginners. Why not make a farm centered around making absolutely massive crops?

This mod adds 18 new giant crops based on the vanilla sprites, including two brand new ones being yams and sweet gem berries.

Another giant crops mod from a different creator out this month as well also offers some more giant crops for you to choose from.

TV Recipes

Best Stardew Valley Mods

This mod is a simple one, but it is sure to be useful for those who are trying to fill their whole recipe book.

All it does is make it so the recipes seen on The Queen of Sauce TV show can now be purchased at the pub.

Usually, the recipes on the show only show up on certain days during the year. Now you won’t have to wait for another year to go by to learn how to cook a Stir Fry.
