Or are you more of the coarse, rough and irritating variety? Well, for those who want to pretend to feel the hard effects of erosion between their toes, modder Cajcbell has crafted a brand-new mini expansion based on their hometown after feeling homesick.Coming after the release of the amazing Sunberry Village mod, which added a functional cat cafe and Animal Crossing-style museum, The Canyons is a cosy little addition that shouldnt take up too much time.Stardew Valley takes a trip to The CanyonsReleased right here on Nexus Mods, The Canyons takes players to a new desert location for a late-game side adventure. After reaching four hearts with Sandy, players can take a bus to the Canyons to experience the new story.While the mini-expansion only has a few quests, it also has some great minor additions. For example, theres a new crop to plant, a new animal for the barn, some fancy artisan goods and a brand-new vendor.Of course, the highlight of the adventure is the new desert-themed map. While its not the highest quality modlets be honest, thats probably Stardew Valley Expandedthere is a load of detail pressed into the new world.I grew up in the American south-west desert, and originally made this mod because I was feeling homesick, the creator said. The crop that comes with this expansion is so special to me that I have a tattoo of it! Originally it started just as a new map, and grew from there (which is why the coding is all tangled together, I certainly didnt expect to add so many features).For more Stardew Valley coverage, read about how modder FlashShifter turned from one of the communitys biggest modders into an official developer for update 1.6.Stardew ValleyPlatform(s):Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PS Vita, Xbox OneGenre(s):Indie, RPG, SimulationSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share
