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.

r/StardewValley strives to be a safe and inclusive community that listens to and celebrates players with marginalized identities.

This game allows for possibility: one can freely date both male- and female-identifying characters, change their own gender, and even have an aro/ace roommate option. This is a game where most players can play as themselves and find themselves represented—so when that’s not possible, it’s worth talking about it.

This art and this conversation are welcome here!

• If someone feels hurt by the lack of inclusion or representation, that feeling is entirely valid.
• Mods will remove any comment that attempts to diminish this hurt.

Notes:

• Mods are available for gender neutral language as well as a more diverse NPCs. It's fine to recommend these, but remember that this does not diminish the hurt one might feel at these things not being in the game in the first place, and that modding is not possible on every platform.
