When Stardew Valley was first launched many years ago, mods for the game barely existed, and hunting for them was more trouble than they're worth. While Stardew Valley is great to play, it is no secret that mods also help keep players interested given the fresh experiences they provide. However, Stardew Valley continues to prove that given the right game, fans of the genre will deliver, which is why it remains as relevant now as it was in 2016. At the time, many thought that interest in farming simulator games had gone away given veterans in the genre such as Story of Seasons and Harvest Moon no longer saw the success they once had. It has been five years since lone developer Eric Barone, aka ConcernedApe, released Stardew Valley.
