Stardew Valleymight be primarily known as a farming sim where you can also romance the village locals, but there’s way more to do than just plant crops. In fact, there is so much to do that it can sometimes be overwhelming to plan out your days. Do you go fishing or to the mines? Do you stay at home or explore a new island? The best part is that there are a lot of ways to play the game, and none of them are wrong. Some just might be more preferable than others.
The sim has also gotten a ton of updates since it first came out in 2016, including the recent 1.6 patch; these updates have spanned across all areas of the game. In addition, there have been plenty of community mods and online tools created, so overall, there are way more types of Stardew Valley players now then there were eight years ago. But which one are you?

You might not even have a partner, though, because why talk to people when you can talk to your plants instead?
While you love spending time at home, it’s not necessarily because you love to grow crops. It’s because you want to make your home look exactly how you want it to. In your game, farming is more akin to landscaping. You’ll spend a lot of your time laying
