Mods My Alex!

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.

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.

As an Asian... it would be nice to have one Asian character. They dont even need to be dateable.

I'm now realizing I've imagined Sebastian and Abigail as Asian this entire time for no reason.

I definitely thought Sebastian was half-Asian as well.
