⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Huge community approval (2,904 endorsements) — clearly a favorite among players.
Fills a narrative gap after JojaMart closes, making the world feel more alive.
Lightweight and simple — just a character tweak, no heavy scripts or dependencies.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2018 — may not be compatible with the latest Stardew Valley versions.
No install instructions provided by the author, so you'll need to figure it out yourself.
Only affects Shane's job — if you're looking for more extensive character overhauls, this won't satisfy.
