With this mod, players can safely place decor and utility items without worry.
2. **UI Info Suite 2**: This mod is deemed essential for PC players and provides comprehensive in-game information. It includes features such as icons for daily luck, traveling merchant presence, NPC birthdays, and tool upgrade statuses. The mod also shows experience gains, a dynamic experience bar, accurate heart levels, item information needed for bundles, and animal care icons. Additionally, it provides access to the town calendar, billboard quests, and NPC locations directly from the player’s inventory, enhancing gameplay efficiency and awareness.
3. **Horse Overhaul by Goldenrevolver**: This mod enhances the player’s horse by making it faster, more useful, and thinner to navigate narrow pathways more easily. It combines features from several different horse mods, such as the Pony Weight Loss Program, to improve the horse’s functionalities and usability in the game.
These mods collectively aim to improve the gameplay experience by adding utility, information, and enhanced interactions with the game’s environment.
