Installation

This mod is ideally installed at the start of a new game, but it is also safe to add during an ongoing playthrough.

Dependencies

The mod is designed with minimal dependencies. You should only need: SMAPI & Content Patcher.

Installation

You can use a mod manager like Stardrop or manually install by:

  1. Download the main "MayorMod.zip" file.
  2. Open the .zip file with WinRAR or 7zip.
  3. Drag and drop the files inside to your mods folder.

Note :

  • If you're upgrading delete the old MayorMod folder first.
  • DO NOT RENAME folders!

Triggering the election storyline

The mod begins with an event at the Adventure Guild. Visit the guild when all of these are true:

  • It's Year 2 or later & the Adventure Guild is unlocked.
  • The season is Spring or Summer.
  • It's not a festival day.
  • You're the host of the game.

If you agree to run for mayor - You're registered as a candidate and you will get a confirmation letter about your campaign the next day. The election date is 14 days later skipping festivals by default.

If you decline to run for mayor - Marlon will ask you again a year later in the Adventure Guild.

Multiplayer note - Only the host farmer can actually run for mayor. Farmhands can vote on election day however and get their own mail about the election.
