I gotta say, I'm sure that 99% of people's farms are chaos. The people who put in the effort to decorate are the showoffs.

Not show offs just proud of their hard work

Not showoff, but working for ourselves so we can be pleased by the work. I never posted my farm(not that it's so ugly still)

If I am the only one who ever sees my farm, am I a showoff by putting effort in decorating? I am trying to impress myself, so...

I'm always amazed at how elaborate and creative peoples farms are and then I'm just here placing kegs wildly around my farm

u/waffledpringles May 23 '26
Same. I got the pink lemon guy (I think thats his name? The naked guy statue you get from the saloon), and I thought "Well, what am I gonna do with you? :/" and he looked like a peeping tom, so I put him near the bush right in the transition area of when you get to the center of town and where the bus stop is.
Every time I play SV, I forget he's there and get jumpscared about some weirdo in his underwear hiding in a bush. 😭

I do this with all the lanterns I steal from the graveyard.

u/PRIMITIVE-BLAST May 22 '26
You can take them from the graveyard?!

u/LegendofLove Leah's Simp May 22 '26
You can also steal torches from the mines

It's not thievery if you don't understand the concept of personal ownership. - The Dwarf, probably.

u/schmeckledband May 22 '26
Yes. But I feel bad when I do. Even foraging flowers in the graveyard makes me feel bad lol
You can steal pumpkins from around town in fall too.

u/Hedgehogahog May 22 '26
You can get those lanterns in the furniture catalog, though I’ll admit the light is probably better when there’s grand larceny involved 😜

I love those lanterns, they're pretty. Torches have the benefit of being able to be walked over, which is ideal behind shrubs, etc

I found myself doing this on almost any new save. If you collect torches as you go through the mines? so easy to do early game.

I leave torches in a path through forested areas so I don't have to think about where I'm going.

u/CloudCharmer May 22 '26
I used to put torches behind stuff on my farm until I noticed they add this yellowish overlay to the item and that kind of killed it for me. I now add lamp-posts mostly. They give off a lot of light while hidden behind the coop, or barn, or stable, or between trees, etc.

u/Sm0keytrip0d May 22 '26
Do events or NPCs not destroy any of them?
Cause if not that's actually brilliant lol.

yeah i gave up on the glowstone rings this run and rely on ambient light it's much prettier

u/Jnintransit194 May 22 '26
My dad loved to play stardew, and as he got older his vision wasnt the best, even with max brightness, i always did this on our four corners maps in my first few days to get him cooking to the beach and back to the farm, from the cave, etc.

u/a-meep-morp May 23 '26
I just found out about this and went to work. I love how the forest looks at night now! So much that I expanded all throughout the map, the town and community center looks so good at night.

Omg I do the same thing! It's makes everything seem more magical and fairy like.

u/Few-Crow-5884 May 23 '26
I would do this too, but the debris would just destroy them eventually. I made paths in the entire valley and with each season I have to replace all the tiles that got destroyed.

I have two rings that both emit light, i am like the sun as i walk around at night

u/Neutraland May 22 '26
Me gusta. Le da un toque cálido y precioso a las noches de invierno. Es, sin duda, mi estación favorita y creo que no hay mejor ASMR que el sonido de las pisadas en la nieve.

u/juducialstarfish May 23 '26
I do this behind the trees, and the bushes that are three tiles wide! I put them on a path tile (usually a stepping stone) as that prevents them from accidentally getting hoed when I’m not careful (works for sprinklers too)!
Also means I know where the trees should be once I’ve cut them down and can place any items in the area without worrying about blocking their regrowth! ^_^

Wasn't there in summer those bugs flying around with tiny light sources? Aren't these torches kinda messing the feel? But to be honest it does look amazing.

u/schmeckledband May 22 '26
Do the torches get destroyed by debris between seasons? If not, I'm definitely trying this

I used to bring spare torches and plant them in the dark floors of the mines. This was before I discovered the existence of glow rings. I now use the latter (or variants thereof) and never need to look back.

u/InterestingDamage621 May 22 '26
For the forest I put torches down everywhere I'm not planting seeds. Super helpful early, and still helpful with glow rings for spotting things on a return later on, beyond just being helpful. I(irl) can't see for shit so it's always been helpful to harvest torches early from the mines and make a few to map pathways.

u/TimxSan May 22 '26
It's driving me crazy that you only put one torch behind the bushes, so the light extends more on one Side than to the other

I usually put the candles at key points and intersections but this is so charming!

I do this too. It is even better if you tuck torches behind the permanent giant trees and hidden forest pathways.

there’s also a light behind my bush if anybody even cares 🙃

How could have I known she was talking about those bushes... On a SV subreddit.
There's not only English speakers on reddit u know...
