🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have the latest version of SMAPI installed, as most portrait mods require it to load properly.
If you're using other portrait mods, load order matters – place this one last to ensure it takes priority.
Back up your original portraits folder before replacing, so you can revert if you don't like the anime look.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust – 10k endorsements and 339k downloads show it's a go-to portrait mod.
- Original art, not just a filter – Bunnerz drew these from scratch, so it stands out from generic edits.
- One-and-done install – drop it in and your villagers get a full anime makeover.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2017 – may not be compatible with the latest Stardew Valley updates or other portrait mods.
- Anime style isn't for everyone – if you prefer vanilla or realistic portraits, this will clash.
- Only covers portraits, not sprites – your in-game characters will still look vanilla, which can be jarring.
