"Stardew Valley" is looking at an exciting new mod that can change the game's landscape and make it a classic platform for all Studio Ghibli fans to unite and appreciate. One of the best "Stardew Valley" mods of 2020 comes with popular characters including everyone's favorite neighbor, "Totoro," along with the distinct critters that are mostly seen in classic animated films.

The popular 2016 role-playing game (RPG), "Stardew Valley," has been blessed with this year's mod that elevates the game and adds more surprising elements that can make users play it for extended periods. Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone and Sickhead Games' RPG is making a 2020 comeback and would bring Studio Ghibli along. 

The love and fandom over Studio Ghibli may take you back to take a liking with "Stardew Valley" all over again, as these roaming creatures certainly gives the title a new environment to experience. This mod is not a collaboration between Studio Ghibli and the game's developers, but users would wish for one after seeing the game's new look.

According to PC Games SN, the mod will take users back to four movies from the animation studio, as characters from beloved Ghibli creations are replacing the animals mostly found in the wild. "My Neighbor Totoro," one of the most popular films from the studio, would have Totoro and Chu-Totoro replace the woodpecker and squirrel respectively.

Additionally, "Princess Monoke's" Kodama would replace the sparrow; "Kiki's Delivery Service's" Jiji would replace the white rabbit; "Spirited Away's" No Face and Crow Yubaba would replace the game's owl and crow; "Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind's" Fox Squirrel would replace the brown rabbit; soot sprites would replace frogs, and other small creatures would change into forest animals found in Studio Ghibli's films.

'Stardew Valley' Studio Ghibli Mod: Where to Download?

The mod was created by a user or group called "sopholophagus" and posted on Nexus Mod's website entitled "Ghibli Critters," and is the team's first "Stardew Valley" mod theme for the game. The developer notes that only the butterflies, seagulls, and the blue jay bird are not changed into Studio Ghibli characters, but would change in future updates. 

Moreover, sopholophagus shared that the Ghibli Critters mod is the first mod to be developed by the creator or the team, so issues may arise from gameplay and would be normal. It would also be better if the developer received feedbacks or reports to know where to improve more.

"Stardew Valley's" Studio Ghibli mod already has a total of 692 downloads from the website and on its initial version, which would soon improve and bring more elements from the animation studio's favorite titles. 

"Stardew Valley" shows top remarks from users as it portrays a 10 out of 10 Steam Rating, with a 4.7 Google Play and 4.8 App Store satisfactory scores. The game was initially released in 2016 for PC Windows only but was adapted to fit Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, and popular gaming consoles from PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo.
