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.

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.
