• Controller Support: Works with both keyboard/mouse and controller inputs

Installation

1. Install SMAPI
2. Download this mod and extract to your Stardew Valley/Mods folder
3. Run the game

Configuration

After running the game once, a config.json file will be created:

{
  "RequirePam": false
}

Option	Default	Description
