The massively popular Stardew Valley has a bustling mod scene, with tons of passionate fans creating content or adjusting the farming game’s mechanics. While mods for some games, like Skyrim and Fallout, feature a lot of wacky content, the Stardew Valley mods are primarily focused on quality-of-life changes and art overhauls.
While developer ConcernedApe has put out several content updates since the launch of Stardew Valley, the passionate mod community on sites like Nexus Mods has been working hard on new content too. Some modders have gone the extra mile to make new areas and NPCs, but many of them have chosen to focus on changing the art style or fixing small inconveniences in the game. Many of the small mods focus on refining some divisive aspects of the game, such as the fishing minigame. If other games like Stardew Valley aren’t doing it for you, adding mods can give you a new experience. All of the mods in this list can be found on Nexus Mods, with direct links to their pages. We’ve included instructions on how to mod Stardew Valley at the bottom of the page, but if you’re facing errors, each individual mod page has its own instructions and troubleshooting sections. Here are the best Stardew Valley mods to install right now.

Both WhatsApp and Telegram have been blocked in Russia as the government tries to force people to use its unencrypted WeChat clone, Max. All messages sent and received in Max can be read by the government.
The government also blocked access to Facebook and Instagram, and designated parent company Meta as “an extremist organization” …
Russia has been making it increasingly difficult to use Telegram over the past few weeks, and has now effectively blocked access altogether.
The Financial Times reports that the country has now done the same to WhatsApp, along with access to Facebook and Instagram.

European efforts to poach top US scientists in the wake of the White House’s cuts to research funding are paying off.
Paris announced grant awards to 46 academics, with 41 relocating from the US, under its Choose France for Science initiative; eight are from Columbia University, which has lost hundreds of millions in government funding. The EU has a comparable plan, which has also had success.
Research funding applications from US-based researchers have more than doubled since President Donald Trump’s second term began. UK institutions have also seen a spike in US applications, and Beijing has been a beneficiary, too: CNN counted at least 85 scientists leaving the US for China last year, most of them Chinese-born.

After reviewing unredacted Epstein files, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) told Axios that when he searched for Donald Trump’s name, it appeared ”more than a million times,” and at least one document appears to directly contradict Trump’s public claims about the extent of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
The more folks look into the Epstein Files, the more it is found that convicted felon and fraudster Donald Trump has contradicted himself. The story of kicking Epstein out of his supper club, and his well-wishes to convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, become stranger as the President becomes even less credible.
