Does anyone have good mod recommendations for Stardew?

Just started again this year and I keep finding mods I want to install but there's so many categories it gets overwhelming -- any favorites you use every playthrough or anything that completely changes how the game feels without breaking everything.

Definitely check out Seasonal Unifier if you're tired of waiting around, and Ridgeside Farm adds a ton of content without being overwhelming. Also Stardew Valley Expanded is basically a whole new game for about 20 minutes of setup time — it's worth the effort!

Staxelify is honestly indispensable if you're going to play with mods — it automatically maps your keybindings and fixes a ton of compatibility issues that pop up when you mix different mod creators. For actual content, I can't recommend Stardew Valley Expanded enough; it basically doubles the game while feeling like an official expansion (new locations, characters, marriage candidates). Also check out Seasonal Harmony if you want to make things more realistic with crop seasons actually mattering, and Ridgeside Village for a huge town addition.
