Making NPC's Helpful! - Stardew Valley

Today we can bring all the marriage candidates on adventure and they even help out! This is the Companion NPCs Mod! It allows you to have 1 npc follow you around for the day and gives you different buffs and perks depending on which NPC it is! It also adds a ton of new dialogue that varies depending on where you are! Stardew Valley 1.3 gameplay with my commentary as always!

Now the only thing you need is a reason to keep your children

Best mod. The NPCs seem more like people living in Stardew Valley instead of just being "goals" for the player to unlock. It's not reasonable that they wouldn't know how to fight or do things.
Does the mod function once you're married too or after a divorce? It'd be so weird if it worked after a divorce, dragging a bitter angry NPC around who won't talk to you but happily slaughter things would be hilarious but so weird.

This is one of the best mods I ve ever seen for stardew. Please ConcernedApe make this an official thing for all game versions!! I need this

[wanderscheid]

We need the Wizard as a companion, shooting spells and healing

"NPC's are useless" is what I said before watching this video. Now I think "Wow, that's a cool mod, I'm too lazy to download".

This is a really cool idea for a mod! The walk animations could use some work, as it's clear the npcs walk cycles weren't built to facilitate moving so quickly, but this looks really awesome. It's nice for your s/o to have practical use in farming/adventuring.

I had Sebastian follow me, and I told him goodbye but now he's stalking me! I think he wants my blood!

[cullenlatham]

this is a great idea that feels like it could be vanilla if the creator wanted to. i think the buffs should scale with affection levels, and would need some consideration of balancing. With mines being an option, the npc's may need to have a health or fatigue stat that either makes them leave once exhausted, or stop helping temporarily.

I laughed so loud when I saw Maru running after the bus. That made my entire day.
This looks like a pretty solid mod. I kinda hope they flesh it out some more.

[DangerouslyFunny]

What does everything think of this mod??

[aubreyh]

I'd be cool if they used their weapons. Like if Elliot used his pencil or Sam used his guitar

[shadowjmg]

It reminds me a lot of the Rune Factory games. You can invite almost all npcs to hang out with you they use diffrent weapons and have different base stats, some even use magic and stuff.

What if u bring Pam along?

“Thanks to Pam’s hulking mass and terrifying face, she pacifies any nearby weak monster!”

“Pam likes to drink to dull pain. When traveling with Pam, all damage taken from tougher monsters is nullified!”

Now I have another use for Shane, aside from being my Drunken House Husband.

This would be a cool thing to have in game. Like maybe on your way to an event in town they follow you and instead of leaving your kids to fend for themselves at home your spouse carries them or they follow you. That would be a small touch but it would be nice.

harvey's is nice, +10 defence is huge in skull cavern
luck doesn't mean anything if you cant keep yourself alive

[TinyDeskEngineer]

Walks past linus' fire
"Hey Abigail watch this trick"
Puts out the fire

[sapphire]
