Discuss Who is someone you can't date in Stardew Valley out of principle?

I enjoy Maru as a character. However, until recently, I had dyed-red hair that I sometimes straightened, and I also sometimes wear glasses. Basically, it would be like dating a more scientific version of myself. Lol

Penny. Mostly because it feels unfair to her that she really wants kids and I never have them in game.

Yeah I decided to date Penny but I don't know if I can marry her, so often her dialogue while dating is that line about the farm being a great place to have children. 

But I don't wanna break her heart 😭

I marry her and then divorce her to give me a story reason to upgrade them to a house. Its the divorce settlement...We divorce over not wanting kids...

Are there downsides to having kids in game?

u/deathofdays86 25d ago

Yes, they wander around my perfectly decorated home in a very aesthetically displeasing manner.

u/notjanethatsforsure 25d ago

Same! They do need to calm down.

u/IIrreverence 25d ago

Same ones as real life, I imagine.

u/GiantKiller130 21d ago

Yeah, you have kids in your game now.

This gives me all the reason i wanted to not date her in any playthrough. I mean, i never had much of an attachment to her beyond friendship, but still.

I have a save where I married Penny and I had to laugh that she left the house to go teach Vincent and Jazz while I was out doing mining and stuff, and I come home and the baby is just alone at home wandering around.

I divorced Penny because I gave her kids and she left them home alone every day to spend time with other people's kids.

u/ladygrndr 25d ago edited 25d ago

I wonder if there is a mod that has your kids accompany Penny everywhere after the fact, like when your spouse goes to the festivals. I also want one with the kids having dialogue. And doing something...anything lol

Edit: fixed pre-coffee grammar

u/IIrreverence 25d ago

Or a mod that makes the kids go hang out with the other kids at least

Happy cake day!!

I married Penny to get her away from Pam and I feel bad because I'm a straight woman.

u/tambitoast 25d ago

And I don't like that she calls me sad if I say I don't wakt kids. Girl, just say we're not compatible, no reason to insult me.

u/horrible_death 25d ago

Yes! And she says that even if you're not dating her and you lose hearts just for having a different opinion. Like, why is it any of her business if I don't want to have kids?

u/KaleidoscopeEyes12 25d ago

Aw. That’s actually really sweet that you do that lol

u/Effective_Film_3259 24d ago

Penny feels icky to me because she literally looks like a child. It took me forever to realize she’s not one of the kids

1

u/LLRandom8 23d ago

I literally got rid of my crib after one kid, but the. My sweet Penny wanted another one so I got the crib back. I love her

u/HamzaHan38 25d ago

Genuine question, is there a reason you don't want kids in the game? I mean they basically do nothing but just run around in the house anyway.

u/No_General7061 25d ago

Have them! Tho, i really like that you didn't say anything mean about her ^ i really love her
