    You were not getting excited over nothing; if you can figure out how to download steam, how to purchase a game with it, and how to open and play it, installing a mod isn’t that much harder. Download some files, put them in the right folder, open the game.

      Also, to piggyback onto your comment. Stardew valley without mods is still a very enjoyable game. I had about 300 hours in the game before I installed my first mod. There’s a lot of great quality of life ones, but out of the box it’s still phenomenal.

        To add to this;

        The first time I played SDV was right after the death of a family member. It provided me with an insane amount of comfort.

        Every time I find myself loading it up I look at my life and realize I need the peace. It’s an insanely positive influence in my life.

      Well there’s the problem. I tried downloading Steam, of course it didn’t work because some extension or other had to first be installed on this computer. So I installed the extension, now it says it can’t open. I did get it open once, but the game I downloaded never worked at all. Steam doesn’t work on every computer, I guess.

      But my main game system is the Switch (right now), I don’t even use the computer. And it “steams” me because there are SOOO many great looking casual games on Steam I wish I could play!!!
