This mod is compatible with the latest Stardew Valley version and was last updated on 14 April 2024. If you want a clean visual refresh, get the Vanilla Facelift mod. It enhances Stardew Valley’s original sprites by smoothing them out and making the art style consistent for every villager. The mod subtly improves character portraits and in-game sprites with smoother shading, refined details, and more polished expressions. The result feels like an unofficial HD update to vanilla. Because the changes are conservative, Vanilla Facelift pairs well with most recolors, building overhauls, and seasonal mods without causing visual clashes. It’s also lightweight and safe for most modded setups.
Follow these steps to install Vanilla Facelift on your Stardew Valley game:
Download and install SMAPI (Stardew Modding API) if you haven't already — it's required for most Stardew Valley mods.
Download the mod file from the link above. It will typically be a .zip file.
Extract the .zip file into your Stardew Valley "Mods" folder, usually located at: Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Mods
Launch Stardew Valley through SMAPI instead of the normal launcher to activate mods.
Check the SMAPI console window when the game loads — it will confirm if the mod loaded successfully.
Important: Always back up your save files before installing new mods. Keep SMAPI updated to the latest version for the best mod compatibility.
Platform
Stardew Valley (PC/Mac/Linux)
Pro tip: Some visual mods may conflict with each other. If you notice graphical issues, try disabling recently added mods one at a time.
