mono’s Portraits (CP) 1.6 for Stardew Valley

What this mod does

mono’s Portraits is a redraw of the villager portraits by monoSDE at the same scale as the originals. The idea is to give them a style of their own without straying too far from the look you already know, so it fits in well with the rest of the game’s art.

What’s included

• Portraits for every villager and marriage candidate in the base game.
• The winter outfits added in 1.6.
• JojaMart portraits for Shane and Sam (0.95) and Demetrius’s protective suit (0.91).
• Version 0.96 fixes Penny’s surprised portrait.

Requirements and compatibility

It works with SMAPI and Content Patcher, so it doesn’t touch the game files and you remove it by deleting its folder. File 0.96 (March 17, 2026, 1.1 MB) states that it supports 1.6 or later, and the page marks it as Android compatible.

It conflicts with other mods that change the same portraits: use only one at a time or choose which one loads last. The page doesn’t mention characters from Stardew Valley Expanded or other expansions, which would keep their own portraits. The author asks for feedback if any expression doesn’t fit a scene. It has no text to translate.

Requirements

• Stardew Valley 1.6 or later (PC; the page also marks it as Android compatible)
• SMAPI 4.x
• Content Patcher

How to install it

1. First install SMAPI and Content Patcher (see their mod pages) and launch the game once with SMAPI to check that everything loads.
2. Open the mono's Portraits page on Nexus Mods, go to the Files tab and click Manual download on the main file (mono's Portraits (CP) 0.96). You need a free Nexus account to download.
3. Unzip the .zip outside the game folder and move the resulting folder into the Mods folder inside the game folder. If you had an older version, delete it first instead of overwriting it.
4. Launch the game with SMAPI and talk to any villager to check that the new portrait shows up.
