There is nothing more frustrating than having the perfect leek in your inventory and going to try to gift it to George and not being able to find him because its Sunday and he’s at Pierre’s by the shrine. Or you can’t find where Leah is currently working on her art since it changes season to season. These are universal struggles for Stardew Valley players and really the only useful solution is the NPC Map Locations mod!
What is NPC Map Locations?
NPC Map Locations is an extremely helpful mod that when you open up the map to see all of the locations in Stardew Valley you can see the tiny heads of where characters are in that moment. Normally when you are looking for different characters in Stardew Valley you just have to either wing it and hope you remember their schedules or you’ll need to open up The Wiki to be able to find their current scheduled location for the day which can eat up time. Using this mod can save you so much time so you can gift those characters to earn friendship hearts or talk to them each day or to finish quests.
How Do You Use It?
This mod is extremely simple to use and will show these characters images whenever you open the map. When you open up the map you’ll see it and all of the characters either staying in one spot if they are currently not on the move, or the images will move around with the characters as they travel.
You also have the simple option of scrolling over top of any of their player images and it will come up with their names (as well of the names of other characters who may be there whose images you can’t see behind them), the location they’re at and the time these locations are open.
NPC Map Locations Settings
The best thing about modders is that they are always thinking about ways they can make their mods better and small details players may be looking for. With this mod you get the option to choose specific settings that you may enjoy and that may make you have a better time with the mod.
Your first option is to show all villagers always, show villagers you’ve spoken to that day, or hide villagers you’ve spoken to making it easier for you to find certain ones that you need to speak to. You can also set it up where you only show villagers that have a specific heart level so you can choose just villagers above 4 hearts if you’re only working on friendship with a few villagers at a time.
Another amazing option you have with this mod is to use it as a small map in the top left hand corner instead of only getting to see it when you open the map page. This can make it super duper easy for you to jump around and find characters to quickly without having to really think or open any menus so you can make friends easier. You can even hold down ctrl on your keyboard and right click on this mini-map to move it to a mover favourable location if you aren’t a fan of top left corner.
