How it works
- 1. Find your save in
%AppData%\StardewValley\Saves(Windows) or~/.config/StardewValley/Saves(Mac/Linux). Each farm has a folder namedFarmerName_Id. - 2. Drop the file with no extension inside that folder (the same name as the folder). Skip
SaveGameInfoand any_oldbackups. - 3. Type a new favorite. 64 chars max.
- 4. Download + replace. The edited file comes back with the same name. Drop it into the same folder, overwriting the original. (Back up first if you want to be safe.)
Frequently asked questions
- What is the 'favorite thing'?
- It's the short string you picked at character creation — the one that shows up after eating a Stardrop ("I love [favorite thing]"). There's no in-game UI to change it, so most players are stuck with whatever they typed once during character setup.
- Where does it appear in-game?
- The Stardrop dialog is the most visible place. The string is also stored on the farmer so any future mod or 1.6+ feature that references it picks up the new value automatically.
- Is this safe? Will the file still work in-game?
- Yes. The tool rewrites the <favoriteThing> tag inside the <player> block and writes everything else back unchanged, byte for byte. Stardew loads the file normally.
- Does my save get uploaded anywhere?
- No. The file is read, edited, and downloaded entirely in your browser. Nothing crosses the network. You can verify with browser DevTools → Network tab.
- Does this work on console or mobile?
- No — only PC, Mac, Linux, and Steam Deck versions expose the raw save file. Console and mobile saves are sandboxed by the platform.
- What characters are allowed?
- Letters, numbers, spaces, and most punctuation — Stardew accepts the full Unicode BMP. The favorite thing is capped at 64 characters here. Newlines and other control characters are rejected.
