I've owned SV for years and never bothered to play with mods. I'm mainly looking for QoL mods but I'm open to trying anything you think is good!

What mods do you play with? Are there any you can't go without?

QoL:

  • NPC Map Locations - it shows where each NPC is when you open the map.
  • Lookup Anything - it's like having the wiki plus further info inside the game.
  • Better Ranching - no failed milk/shear attempts; includes indicator for when the critter can be milked/sheared/petted

Others:

  • Canon-Friendly Dialogue Expansion - exactly what it says in the title.
  • Automate - machines pull items from and push them into chests. Less small-clicking here and there.
  • Bigger Backpack - because three rows of items isn't enough, is it?
  • Stardew Valley Expanded - rather deep expansion, with new characters and places and items. For those who got bored with vanilla.
  • Wear More Rings - it's a bit cheaty, but it allows you to use way more than just two rings

Amazing, thank you so much! I will check these out, they all seem very helpful.

also check out Stardew Valley VERY Expanded - it’s a huge collection of mods that culminate in a massively expanded experience with TONS of new content and things to explore. It’s all very well done, although I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for a first play through of course… It’s almost a different game. Or just an absolutely enormous DLC. Definitely recommend it if vanilla or close to it starts to feel a little stale and you’ve experienced everything.
