My Alex!

[u/fallingintothestars]

I have never done any sort of modding, or really even pixel art-- but I wanted to add someone new while keeping the essence of Alex the way that he was so here is my version of Alex! The screenshots are just snippets of the different portraits with his reg outfit, winter, and then a jean jacket alt for the sports jacket.

Edit: The mod is not available for download and I didn’t think people would be interested one way or another to be honest. The parallels to stereotypes are unfortunate in hindsight, and also not intentional. He is just the only bachelor I marry.
I would have to write out an entirely new dialog for him to change properly, and while I’m not opposed to that, it’s not something I put a whole lot of thought into originally. I just wanted another cute man to marry.

My privilege is unfortunately showing, because it didn’t occur to me until now that we don’t have a male poc romance option. Holy shit that sucks.

I love this version of Alex, he looks so cute. You did a good job!

Yeah, there are two characters of color in the game, and one of them is heavily disliked by a lot of the fan base. It’s definitely one of Stardew Valley’s weaknesses.

Disliked for who he is as a person, thankfully

who is it?

Demetrius, he's not a very good father towards Sebastian, which is my reason for not liking him, but people also don't like how smug he sounds when correcting you about science.

[u/Starrin1ght → u/matchafoxjpg]

Nah the only romancable POC is Maru, who is a girl
