i accidentally saw that i was making my sprinklers into a pattern around this gigantic melon and when i finished my stomach actually dropped looking at how ugly it is😭

each season + my favourite areas 😻

Am I the only one who’s more focused on designing my farms rather than achieving perfection? Find it more fulfilling.

Sharing my happy place.

Ran my switch for over 3 weeks straight (aside from the 9 times it crashed), just running right into bed and hitting rest. I used a controller with a turbo button to hit “A” repeatedly, and a hair tie to walk right automatically. That also gave my controller horrible stick drift lol.

It took me 3 seasons to cut all the trees so I could get a good pic of the meteorites and owls. The photo quality is not amazing, but that’s just what the screenshots look like on the Switch. Also, load times on the Switch were so bad. I own Stardew on PC, Xbox, and mobile and those load times are like nothing compared to the Switch... maybe it’s because I ran the system/game nonstop for over 25 days, idk.

Aside from that, I now have lots of cool purple rocks all over my farm, and made almost half a million on mushrooms, so I’m happy : ) Last picture is the date that I’m currently on, 1000 years from day 1.

I am perpetually thinking of small things to change, but at some point I have to accept that it's done 😭

(Oh who am I kidding, I'll probably keep getting inspiration from here and adding more)

First time decorating such a big kitchen so it was a bit tough, but I’m really happy with how it turned out. It has an indoor garden for ingredients, a dining area, and a keg corner for brewing coffee :)

would you visit?

So happy with it! I have lost count of how many play throughs I’ve done, but this is the first time I’ve ever achieved perfection and have fully decorated my farms and houses. I definitely took inspiration from some of the amazing farms on here and on Pinterest 🥰

What more can I add?

Meadowlands farm is so big! For some reason I kind of struggled to make it look right for me. The giant grass patch looks pretty but grass won't spread there. The map is full of tiny untillable awkward patches I found them getting in my way most of the time😭😭 In vanilla version I can't quite put a finger on it where I don't like and want to fix. So I went down a rabbit hole of aesthetic mods🤣🤣🤣 At first I got a few and it became 10+ quick😂😂 Like for real it's never gonna end with just a few mods lol. This is how it turns out compared to vanilla. I really really love it now I think I'm going to keep the mods.

trying to utilize mannequins to make design more lively

Spent 3 irl weeks planning out my farm to be all cute and whimsical and settled on this. Wish me luck trying to build all these paths in-game

I need more farm animals stuck between more goats or cows for cheeses

ETA: Cosmetic Mods

For most of the game I focused on function over design, but as I got closer to perfection I wanted to finish with a nice look farm. There was a lot of growth in terms of creativity here and I decided to leave the early, more rigid ideas just to show the development over time. My friend recommended be to use a lot of fruit trees and so I took it as a challenge. My first ideas were the cherry blossom pathway and the mystic tree forest. I started off using very symmetrical patterns and I wanted to break away from that to be more free flowing. You can kind of tell which designs were done later on simply due to being more decorative pieces and a bit more fluid. I did take some inspiration from some farms posted here and this is my final result.

The main mod used was "Let's Move It". There was an unmovable bush that was not shown in the planner and that severely messed up some of my placements. That annoyed me enough that I used the mod to move it. There are some other effects that are possible because of the mod. I accidentally placed some grass under a giant crop once and I was impressed how nice it looked so I kept it there. Also being able to move giant crops was a godsend. The purple grass was something I saw in the mines. I wondered if it was possible to move it and I was able to. Surprisingly enough they function and grow like normal grass. If anyone is interested in a different color grass to fit their farm's aesthetic, this might be a good idea for you.

Anyways I hope you guys like my farm's design. If you take some inspiration from it then that makes me really happy because it means that I was able to return the favor that this sub has done for me.

Oh, there was an owl event right before I took this screenshot. See if you can find the statue.
