What this mod does
Shop Tile Framework (STF), by Cherry, lets content packs create custom shops that open when you interact with a map tile. According to Nexus, more than 200 mods use it, and it’s now kept up to date by Pathoschild, the author of SMAPI.
What it allows
- New shops and changes to base-game shops.
- Different currencies: gold, casino Qi Coins, festival Star Tokens or items as payment.
- Animal shops with stock limits, and the option to remove animals from Marnie’s shop.
- Random stock, conditions that change daily and custom opening hours.
- Open game shops, such as Marnie’s animals, Robin’s buildings or Clint’s geodes, from any tile.
Requirements and compatibility
It requires SMAPI and Expanded Preconditions Utility. Version 1.0.13 (March 15, 2026, 47 KB) needs SMAPI 4.1.10 and Stardew Valley 1.6.15 or later. It works in single-player and multiplayer, on Windows, macOS and Linux, with no known conflicts, and it doesn’t modify your save file.
Heads up: the author marks it as deprecated for new mods, which should use the shop system built into 1.6. It’s maintained so older packs keep working.
