What this mod does

Unique Courtship Response CORE, by MissCoriel, is a framework mod for character authors. In the game, many courtship reactions use generic lines; this mod lets each NPC have their own responses to those moments through content packs.

What it lets you do

  • Custom responses to courtship actions and birthdays, plus 1.5 lines such as the wilted bouquet one.
  • Pregnancy and adoption dialogue (since 2.0).
  • Jealousy reactions that reset every day.
  • Console commands to reload its data (ucr_reload) or check an NPC’s data (ucr_check), and a daily check that warns you if something breaks.

Requirements and compatibility

It only requires SMAPI. On its own it doesn’t change anything visible: it’s used by character mods that list it as a requirement, so you’ll usually install it because another mod needs it. The author recommends her add-on UCR 4: Happy Birthday, and the details for authors are on her GitHub wiki.

Version 2.1.7 (June 27, 2026, 30 KB) moves almost all error checking to the background. The page marks it as compatible with 1.6 and Android, and the author lists Spanish among the languages it supports. Some authors no longer require it since 1.6, such as Maggs Immersive Sebastian.

Common problems

Does it do anything on its own?

Hardly anything: it's a framework that lets other mods give their characters their own responses.

Is it still needed in 1.6?

Only if a mod you use lists it as a requirement; some no longer need it.

Is it available in Spanish?

The author lists Spanish among the languages it supports.
