It's been a decade since Stardew Valley continued a farming life obsession that started with Harvest Moon in my childhood, and I never seem to stay away for long. That's partially thanks to ConcernedApe's endless cycle of updates, and partially because the Stardew Valley mod scene is filled with talented fans determined to keep their hooks in me somehow.

And now we've got the Stardew Valley 1.7 update on the way, so I'm using this as an excuse to start the process all over again for a more themed approach that sticks to cottagecore Stardew Valley mods. After hours of browsing and troubleshooting, I've finally assembled a collection that plays nice with the farming sim's current version and nails the classy, earthy vibe I love so much.
If you want to try some of my favorites, here's every Stardew Valley mod I'm using for a cozy cottagecore playthrough.
Our in-depth guide on how to install Stardew Valley mods can walk you through the basics of downloading and installing mods, but here are the foundational ones you'll need for this cottagecore collection.

Additionally, I suggest using Automate, Lookup Anything, UI Info Suite 2, and Generic Mod Config Menu for a few more quality of life changes. The Stardrop mod manager is also pretty handy—I can't be trusted to place so many files in the right folders when I'm on a download spree.
Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
All of my Stardew Valley mod sprees begin with a map, and once I've found that I know I'm in business. This time, I wanted something with plenty of nature woven in between my fields and livestock buildings.
That's why I opted for the Velvet Veil Farm by Calimistra on Nexus—I love the asymmetrical layout, waterfall features, and relaxing view. Consider it, and the other mods in this section, the foundation for everything else on my list.
