I will keep this short unlike my time spent playing this mod, which I have played every day from August until November.

This is the best way to play Stardew. The additions not only add new characters and locations, but even rewrote characters to make them better fit their personality and have more dialogue in addition to their already existing lines. Everything in the game feels more fleshed out and... well, with lack of better words to use, just feels more right. Like it got certain aspects that ConcernedApe was trying for but couldn't quite reach.

There's definitely some aspects that were missing that had me lower the rating from 5 star to 4.5, but with these additional mods the game easily becomes 5 star:

How can you keep it short if it's called "Stardew Valley Expanded"? Think you're doing a disservice to the name :P
