Summary
Fans of the heart events inStardew Valleyhave a few different options to see them without having to fully romance the characters. Each Bachelor and Bachelorette have special events that happen only after a certain heart level is reached, and these are locked behind giving that character a bouquet and then the Mermaid’s Pendant. Some players have no issues marrying and divorcing each of the characters, or even giving them all bouquets to causedrama in Pelican Town, but other plays just want to farm without commitment, and this is where mods come in.

Platonic Partners and Friendships by Nexus Mods userAmaranthacyangives players the option to set the type relationship between them and the villager.
