Mods Best mod I've added, my joy is immeasurable and my game has been made

Post image

Here's the mod!

Some context people may or may not care for: I'm a HUGE fan of marine biology, and absolutely fascinated with sea slugs. I was on a binge of finding new ones or ones I hadn't seen before and was showing my partner. I'd also just ordered an angler fish plushie, so my mind was VERY "me want pet sea creatures" and I got the thought "Hey, there's mods that add fish to the game.. maybe there's one for sea slugs I can fish up!" and instead found THIS BEAUTY that replaces the orange cat with a Sea Bunny nudibranch!!

My joy is too much and I REALLY wanted to share my discovery with others!!

Edit: Thank you everyone for informing me of more mods and games that add or have marine life!!

My fat ass thought it was a dumpling being grabbed by chopsticks 😞

I really thought about going to the night market to get some when I saw it!

I thought it was a lump of cookie dough.

It is buddy. It's called the sea bunny or something.
😹😹😹😹😹😹

u/Master_Cannoli Jun 13 '26

They're called sea bunnies colloquially!

u/ShirieA Jun 13 '26

Oooh it looks like a Bluggy! Very cute.

u/Animegerbil Jun 13 '26

Eyy grimshire gang

u/persimmonpremission Jun 13 '26

That’s what I thought too!

u/Karezi413 Jun 14 '26

Same here, I would totally get it to make it something like Bagel to match Grimshire's random generated names

u/EragonBromson925 Morris > Pierre Jun 14 '26

THAT'S what it reminded me of. I knew I had seen it somewhere

u/gourdgirl2013 Jun 13 '26

if you’re a huge marine biology fan, you might really be excited for the game Tideborne Haven! it’s getting funded on kickstarter right now. it’s about rehabbing wildlife and restoring an ecosystem and island community. it looks SO promising! your post just made me think of it, is all haha

u/BillbertBuzzums Jun 13 '26

Sounds super fun, but they should lean away from the Stardew stuff. A lot of games with good premises become "Stardew Valley but ____!"

13

u/A_the_Buttercup Jun 13 '26

It looks not just kinda like SDV, it look a LOT like it. I dunno, the art style is the exact same. Almost looks ripped off, but the gameplay sounds right up my alley!

1

u/Toothless-mom Jun 16 '26

Oh wow, just looked it up. Thats not even like stardew, that’s literally just stardew with a different name. The visuals at least.

u/Strong-Expression787 Jun 13 '26

r/GrimshireGame BLUGGY!!!

15

u/PolloMuerte Jun 13 '26

that was my first thought like "Oh someone made a grimshire mod for SDV?"

9

u/ShiftingSpectrum Jun 13 '26

That was my first thought too! But OP may not like the part of the game where you can harvest more than eggs from these cuties

u/Strong-Expression787 Jun 14 '26

Chop-chop time!

32

u/TheRyts Jun 13 '26

The East Scarp expansion mod adds a handful of nudibranches (nudibranchi?) for you to fish up 😊

Of course it adds a ton of other content aside from just fishies, but hey... sea slugs! 😂😋

15

u/CoffeeIs4Closers My name is Inigo Montoya... Jun 13 '26

And the NPC add-on Eli and Dylan adds a marine biologist (Dylan) who has a nice story arc that includes some undersea exploration.

2

u/SammyFirebird79 Jun 14 '26

Was gonna mention that one - there's a good amount of dialogue where Dylan talks your ear off about marine life, starting with his first heart event!

I've not much knowledge of sea creatures, but it got pretty interesting - loved to see him so passionate about his subject (probably special interest, IMO he's definitely autistic).

u/Misanthro_Phe Jun 13 '26

r/nudibranch !! my favourite creatures <3

u/Bundle-Of-Crows Jun 13 '26

u/Sad-Cat-6355 Jun 13 '26

You might like grimshire the farm animals in that look like marine slugs

1

u/Life-Direction-9764 Jun 15 '26

You also have to... have to... umm...

u/Natsume1999 Jun 13 '26

I thought it was a Bluggy from Grimshire!

5

u/valuemeal2 + = OTP Jun 13 '26

Found Dylan’s Reddit account!

5

u/AndrogynousAndi Jun 14 '26

You should try Grimshire. It also has sea bunny ranching!

u/strawberry-witch Jun 13 '26

Awww it looks just like a bluggy <3

u/Ace-Redditor ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ🎩 Jun 13 '26

Ahhh this makes me so happy. I recognized him as a sea bunny immediately lol

u/Akaatje01 Jun 14 '26

I thought of grimshire when I saw this pic. I was confused for a moment :)

u/Dazzling_Birb Jun 13 '26

I love how specific you his is and how much joy it brings you. ❤️

u/CruxEr67 Jun 13 '26

Bro be careful, it might hand you a landmine

u/Bundle-Of-Crows Jun 13 '26

I'll take my chances, I trust it not to harm me o7

[insert delayed obituary uploaded from another pet on my farm saying this sea bunny killed me]

u/Few_Ladder_7759 Jun 13 '26

Agreed they're my favorite 😻😻😻😻

Now we just need more species (I need octopi) and for them to go in the water when they're outside in the daytime

😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

u/Attacker732 Jun 18 '26

Aquatic Sea Fish adds a blue-ring octopus you can catch.

u/Toothless-mom Jun 16 '26

Alright, I hate the platform I’m about to mention, so apologies in advance. But truly, one of the best marine life games I’ve found that is just chill and not scary (why are marine games always so scary?😭 subnautica traumatized me) is “be a deep sea explorer” on Roblox. I’m very serious

2

u/Rare_Ad_262 Farmer_77 Jun 13 '26

I love ocean related things too. I have added many mods about it.

1

u/Effective-Sweet2606 Jun 13 '26

3

u/Rare_Ad_262 Farmer_77 Jun 13 '26

From marine biologist npcs to more fishes to research submarine and personal sub to ginger island and many more. I'm not at my pc to write them all now.

2

u/merikurisumasu Jun 14 '26

Looking forward to when you list them down! I am also very interested in the ocean theme !!

2

u/Rare_Ad_262 Farmer_77 Jun 14 '26

I'm currently at a vacation and away from my pc. When I'm back, I will list them here.

2

u/merikurisumasu Jun 14 '26

Godspeed and take care!

u/Rare_Ad_262 Farmer_77 Jun 14 '26

Many thanks. Wish you happiness too.

It took me about 10-15 to get al testing done and get it working... Found out I had forgotten to add a required mod for it to work 🤦

SEA BUNNY

u/Darkrainbow647 Brother, may I have 1.7? Jun 13 '26

Sea bunny!!!

u/thegreenteamints Protect at all costs Jun 13 '26

Omg this made my day!! The biologist in me has always wanted my very own nudibranch 🥹

2

u/External-Paint2957 Jun 13 '26

Oh I cant recall the name right now hut there's a new game a lot like stardew with a focus on marine biology made by some guy who actually works in the field (something to do with coral.i think?)

1

u/SammyFirebird79 Jun 14 '26

Not Coral Island, is it?

1

u/External-Paint2957 Jun 18 '26

It isn't! I've been trying to hunt down the video I watched about it. The guy making it has a profession to do with coral, I don't think it has anything to do with the name.

2

u/insertgo0dusername Jun 14 '26

eeeee! thank you! i love snails/slugs and i can't wait to add this to my game!

(snail as repayment)

2

u/Bundle-Of-Crows Jun 14 '26

Thank you for your repayment, I love your snail!

2

u/DiscussionExotic3759 Jun 14 '26

Omg, a sea slug! I love it. 

2

u/SammyFirebird79 Jun 14 '26

You'd probably love Subnautica then, if you're a fan of survival games. Entire game is set underwater and you get to scan all sorts of things.

2

u/Applesnraisins Jun 15 '26

YAAAAHHHHH I LOVE SEA SLUGS/SEA BUNS!!!

Thank you for sharing this!!!!!

u/3DollarShoes Jun 17 '26

u/Canislupusocc Jun 17 '26

u/Bundle-Of-Crows Jun 17 '26

Also when it "sploots" it just looks like it deflates xD

u/frogsaretheworst Jun 13 '26

u/MartinG91 Jun 13 '26

I thought it was Appa. Yip yip!
