CJB Cheats Menu

We can’t avoid the fact that there are players who will find and exploit cheats in games. Because of this, it’s no surprise that there’s a popular mod that makes it all super easy. The CJB Cheats Menu is the best Stardew Valley mod for using cheats such as infinite stamina and health, one hit kills, warping to any location, weather control, increasing skill level, time freezing, and more.

All it takes to access the cheat menu once it’s installed is pressing the p key on your keyboard. From there you can explore various tabs that include player abilities and tools, farm and fishing, mining skills, weather, relationships, warp locations, time and controls. This mod will take the grind out of the game and make any Stardew Valley player’s experience a much more relaxed one.

NPC Map Locations

NPC Map Locations is the best Stardew Valley mod for keeping track of your favorite NPCs whereabouts. We all know how difficult it can be to track down a villager you’re romancing or traveling merchant with a particular item that you’re looking for. With NPC Map Locations, you have the ability to see all that and more.

Configure the settings to reveal the location of villagers with a daily quest, birthday on that day, a certain heart level, and even custom installed NPCs. You can even turn off villagers you’ve already spoken to if you’re not that great of keeping track. This mod is a must-have for the goal oriented Stardew Valley player.

Stardew Valley Save Editor

If you’ve ever regretted a choice that you’ve made in Stardew Valley and wish you could change it without starting from the very beginning, then you’re going to love to this mod. Stardew Valley Save Editor is the best mod for editing particular options in your save file. This includes moving or deleting objects on your map, adding or changing items in your inventory, editing the appearance of your character, and so much more.

This isn’t so much a mod that is active throughout your gameplay but a tool that reads the XML in your save file and adjusts features such as character stats, inventory, cooking and crafting recipes, the farm and your animals. You can also use it to backup your save so if you’re not happy with the changes you made, you can easily revert back.
