    You missed out on the Shops expanded mod. It makes all the shops in the game have more relevant items added to their inventories. It's really helpful if you have trouble finishing the community center, you can just throw money at it without selling out to Joja Mart

      Stoffton is a town mod that adds lots of shops that sell Community Center items. My favorite is Remmington, the fisherman. Later on game you find out that he uses Magic Bait to fish, so you can buy out of season fish. Thanks to him, I can finish the Fish Tank bundle early on, because he eventually sells Walleye and Tiger Trout. There is also a supermarket that sells crops, and even Fern Island crops like Pineapple, Taro Root, Banana and Mango. The price is steep, but you can buy the crops, put on seed maker and start raising them on first Summer. There is also a blacksmith who sells Iridium Bars, so you can, if you want, upgrade your Pickaxe to Iridium Quality before you enter Skull Cavern.
      There is also Garden Village, with other shops. You can buy pretty much any vanilla dishes there, and Artisan Goods, and some high-end clothing. I got my groom outfit to marry in Garden Village.

    I also really recommend the Skull Cavern Elevator mod, especially if you struggle with combat like I do (I have a disability that impacts my hand mobility). Before using it, I could never get far down without spamming staircases, so I didn’t have much access to those higher tier resources and drops no matter how late in the game I was.

    I am surprised you didn't mention the Automate mod. It basically makes every machine you build able to just automatically process materials from your chests. It saves a lot of time.
    Maybe in a couple of playthroughs I'll use some of the mods, but a lot of them are changing too much of the core gameplay mechanics, which is why "Quality of Life mods" is not really a fitting title to most of the shown mods.

    I think the mod ToDew would be great in this QoL list(maybe some of the other ones I list below that I have installed as well). You mentioned you would be doing another video so you might mention them. And what I mention isn't supposed to be a QoL mod list. Just the mods that I use currently.
    I got into this game just over 2 weeks ago due to the summer sale. Been thinking of getting this game for years but I don't play cozy games. The games I have played don't fit that category AFAIK. The first thing I did was mod SDV. I only played 30-40 minutes of unmodded SDV. Yes, really. Lol. The mods I installed are, SMAPI(needed for most mods), Console Commands(I think this gets installed with SMAPI automatically), Content Patcher(Surprise! Needed for most mods), and Clear Glasses(a git hub/nexus mod that is essentially the updated version of Sprite Master which changes the game graphics from pixel graphics to a more smoothed look, I needed this to be able to enjoy the game as before it bothered my eyes to look at the game and hence this was the first kind of mod I looked for).
    Then within a day or two I installed Convenient Inventory(auto stack things from your inventory to chests nearby that have the same item, while being able to favorite items so they get ignored), Generic Mod Config(mod menu in the game for managing settings of mods installed), NPC Map Locations, Sound Tweaker(I haven't actually messed with it but it's ready), and UI 3 in 1 theme color. I do have other mods that I just installed but these previous ones are the main mods I have used for my playthrough. The other mods I am using now are UIInfoSuite2(info mod for a chunk of things in the game, I found it on github as the OG one isn't updated on Nexus), Skip Intro, ToDew(you can create in game reminders that overlay part of your screen, very useful), BetterShopMenu(brings categories to items, I haven't actually used it yet, I installed it yesterday), GMCMOptions(seems like an add-on for Generic Mod Config and is needed for BetterShopMenu IIRC), and lastly AutomateToolSwap(I just installed this, I think this will be useful). 15 mods total including dependency mods. I'm always looking for more mods that might enhance the experience of this game.
    Mods Listed Without Explanations; SMAPI, Console Commands, Content Patcher, Clear Glasses, Convenient Inventory, Generic Mod Config, NPC Map Locations, Sound Tweaker, UI 3 in 1 theme color, UIInfoSuite2, Skip Intro, ToDew, BetterShopMenu, GMCMOptions, and AutomateToolSwap.
    Yes, I barely played the vanilla version and these mods to some people I'm sure aren't QoL, different definitions and all that so if it's not QoL for you then it's not QoL for you. If you think one of these mods isn't QoL I'm curious what makes one QoL and another not QoL to you.

    About Fishing - I'm using YetAnotherFishingMod (exactly named as this) :D - which could be configured exactly what auto fishing can do or whatever you chose it has massive menu what you can change and what to happen when you do X to Y - also you can bind a key to cast :O - Nexus Mod ID - 20391
    Also one more suggestion - not sure if anyone got annoyed when they Alt+Tab, but the sound of the game is still on - so there is a mod to remove this and I wish to have it in every game that I play :D but yeah - Stop sounds when inactive or in background. - Nexus mod ID - 13925
    Will snatch the freezing mod

    • @kitsugamess
      @kitsugamess  6 місяців тому +13

      Well let’s break it down! Quality of Life in Video Games is defined as ‘features or aspects of a game that ensures a smooth gameplay experience for the players’! It is designed to make the game easier to play for those who want to play it a certain way!
      I said this in the video and another comment, but quality of life is different for everyone! For someone this may look like a skull cavern elevator mod as they struggle with that aspect and could affect an ongoing disability (shoutout to one of the amazing members here who shared their story!). Quality of life could look like an automated fishing system, as they can not get that mini game down no matter what. Quality of life could be having the products in shops cheaper as they struggle to get money, and maybe enjoy romancing NPC’s and delving into their stories!
      There is not one single Quality of Life that is correct. These mods are designed to make certain aspects of the game easier for those who want that change. Mods I would download are different from one someone else would, because we want a different game play experience!!

      QOL is DIFFERENT for everyone!! What is QOL for you, is different for others. There are additionally, thousands and thousands of mods, so I was only able to pick a handful. Quality of Life is a way to make a game easier and more achievable for players, for those who struggle with combat, have an easier monster mod, those who dislike using a wiki page to find each characters loved items, have a mod that makes all items liked, and so forth.
      Tbh any mod that changes the way the game was intended to play as is going to be considered a cheat. No matter what it does. I do plan on making another video to showcase MORE, but never forget what works for you won’t work for everyone. For me, I’d maybe only consider the extra time mods here, but again I’ve been playing the game for 8 years, I’m familiar with it all. It’s a big game for a new player, considering there’s a full blown wiki page.

      Quality of Life, is a way to make the game smoother and more enjoyable for THAT PLAYER. we are all different, play differently and also have different needs when it comes to gaming. These have worked for so many people, and cater to different people’s play styles.
      This game is a lot. It’s very overwhelming for new players, some of these mods will help them. For me and you? I’ve been playing since day 1, time mods will serve me, anything else does not serve MY PLAYSTYLE. But, will serve someone else’s.
