Mod for Stardew Valley which turns your children into little NPCs. Requires ContentPatcher.
Create a content pack
Replacement NPCs for your children must be provided by content packs. See NPC data. Note that NPCDispositions must not be provided by your content pack, these are generated and handled internally by the mod.
Starting from version 1.1, the mod provides 2 ContentPatcher tokens:
- Candidus42.LittleNPCs/FirstLittleNPC
- Candidus42.LittleNPCs/SecondLittleNPC
Every token supports these arguments:
- Name
- DisplayName
- Gender
- BirthSeason
- BirthDay
- Age
The 1.0 tokens are still there but shouldn't be used for new development.
Only one argument can be given at a time. Token arguments are passed after a colon. For example, if you want the internal name of FirstLittleNPC, use
{{Candidus42.LittleNPCs/FirstLittleNPC: Name}}
In your content pack, use these tokens instead of hard-coded names and genders.
Convert a ChildToNPC content pack
Content packs for the unmaintained ChildToNPC mod are supposed to be easily convertible, even though some tokens are not provided.
Remove Data/NPCDispositions from your content pack first. For replacing tokens see the following table:
| Child2NPC token | LittleNPC 1.0 token | LittleNPC 1.1 token and argument | Notes |

| FirstChildName | FirstLittleNPCName | FirstLittleNPC: Name | Internal asset name, not suitable for dialogue. |
