Really wish I had it in me to replay this game.

May I suggest Stardew Valley Expanded?

Its a huge mod that basically ads a whole new entire game worth of content, on top of the base games content, that is seamlessly integrated into the base game.

May I suggest Longevity?

It adds taxes and market prices, thus bringing an element of complexity into the game that makes you think how to optimize your early growth and how to get the most out of your energy and money, turning the relaxing indie game about returning to nature into an optimization grindset nightmare that everyone but me hates.

I have enough real life stress to worry about without putting it in video game form ,lol

New maps? I found that I always gravitated towards one map as I disliked all the rest. Mostly just wanted a big open space to go crazy, not obstacles that I had to design around.

SVE adds maps to explore and characters to meet, much more than areas to develop and exploit.

it has a a couple new starter farm options, which are very nice imho. it also includes a big open space to the east of pelican town that you can use as a big honking farm area. last time i played I made it my tree farm. had a couple hundred of each tree type there.

You're making it worse, not better lol. There's too much to do, that's why I'm not returning, adding more is not the solution.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

you know theres no time limit right?

I mean, you get evaluated after 3 years, but thats not end game, and you can redo the evaluation at any time after it.

I'm aware of how the game works yes. Once I bought the golden clock, there was basically nothing to do on my farm except for planting on the first day of each season. Aside from that it's fully automated. It just got boring, and it felt like the game was over, and I just can't shake that feeling.

There was nothing to do… it felt like the game was over

I know... They added it all afterwards, when I already felt like the game was over, and despite there being lots to do now, I just can't will myself back into the game.

replay? you mean you finished it? Isn't it open ended?

[–] XbSuper@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Technically yes, but at a certain point all you're doing is tending your crops, which gets boring when you have nothing more to work towards.

Now there's more to do, but since I did so much, I'm just burned out on the game, and can't get back into it.

Heh, this describes me with Warframe. XD
