The amount of work that went into this mod is admirable, so if there was one mod you download from this past month make sure it’s this one.

Expanded Storage

Best New Stardew Valley Mods December 2020

This Stardew Valley mod is as simple as it is helpful. It’s grants you more storage slots so you don’t always have to be worried about micro managing your items while farming.

You will be able to add custom storage to your game, whether that’s by increasing the amount of slots or allowing your to carry chests themselves to allow for some portable organization.

This way you won’t have to check in on all the chests scattered around your farm when you want to find one specific item.

Sprinklerable Island Farm

Best New Stardew Valley Mods December 2020

Some custom lots allow you to set up your farm on the beach for a beautiful waterfront view. However, this poses unique issues as sprinklers are not able to be placed on sand in the base game.

This mod offers a quick fix for that exact issue, allowing you to place sprinklers on the sand so you won’t spend all your time watering your beachy farm.

New Female Farmer Body

Best New Stardew Valley Mods December 2020

This next mod switches up the female farmer body into a new shape for you to choose from.

It changes the frame of the body, as well as adjusting the shoulders to be less broad.

Not all hairstyles and clothing work with this new sprite, so this mod also comes with new hair, clothing, and accessories for you to use successfully.

Simple Fishing

Best New Stardew Valley Mods December 2020

The fishing mini-game can be one of the most annoying features in Stardew Valley, so if you want to skip it almost altogether you should download this next mod.

The Simple Fishing mod allows you to put little to no effort into catching fish in Stardew Valley.

Instead of keeping the fish within the meter by reeling and releasing, you are just able to bring up the fish up with no mini-game.

Fertilizer Anywhere

Best New Stardew Valley Mods December 2020

The fertilizer is a helpful item in Stardew Valley. It speeds up crop growth, and remains in the soil the whole season until the season changes and the soil goes back to normal.

This mod allows you to apply fertilizer to plants that are already growing, speeding up the growth process even further.

It is also super helpful if you forgot to fertilize a plant before it has grown. Now you can fertilize it anytime and not worry about crafting it all at the beginning of each season.

Zoom Keybinds

Best New Stardew Valley Mods December 2020

This mod allows you to zoom in and out of the world a bit when playing. This is especially useful at the start of the game when you are trying to plot out the layout of your farm.

The zooming functionality operates through keybinding and allows you to change the zoom amount and zoom caps.

By holding shift, you can also adjust the size of the UI as well.

Spanish Revival Buildings

Best New Stardew Valley Mods December 2020

This mod offers some beautiful new custom building sprites inspired by Spanish architecture and design.

There are two building types, each with special designs for all the four seasons. The sprites include beautiful flowers that drape along the top and sides of the houses in the warmer seasons, and snowy leaves for the winter months.

There is also the basic house design with no flowers included if you want it to look more structured.

Way Back Pelican Town

Best New Stardew Valley Mods December 2020

The Way Back Pelican Town mod offers retextures of all the town buildings, base structures, and decorations in the vanilla Stardew Valley map.

It’s a great mod to download if you’re going for a replay and want things to feel fresh and new again. Not only does it change the whole base map, but it alters the appearance of the desert as well.

It’s said to match the aesthetic of other Medieval-styled mods including Medieval Buildings, Gwen’s Medieval Craftables, and Medieval SVExpanded.

Sit for Stamina

Best New Stardew Valley Mods December 2020

Last but certainly not least, we have one of the most popular mods out last month.

The Sit for Stamina mod does exactly what its name suggests. It allows your character to gain stamina back by sitting instead of the normal requirement of sleeping.

This will make miners especially happy, as now you can better manage your stamina allowing you to go deeper into the mines without worrying about running back home to sleep.
