🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have the original Walk to the Desert mod installed first, as this Redux overwrites it.
If you use SMAPI, check that all connected mods (Garden Village, Downtown Zuzu, Ridgeside) are loaded in the correct order.
Back up your save before adding map mods, just in case the new path conflicts with your current farm layout.
