With summer rapidly arriving for many of us, any respite from the increasing heat is welcome – and now you and your Stardew villagers can stay cool with this farming game.
The Daphne's buildable ice cream truck mod, created by Stardew Valley 'aesthetic mods' creator Abi Wabi, does exactly what it says on the tin, letting you place the truck anywhere on your farm. You can choose between pink, blue, and green variants of the truck, which also features its own unique NPC, the titular Daphne. Once the truck has been built, Daphne will send the player a letter, which begins a small event that introduces her.
The ice cream truck requires a few other mods to be installed first, including Solid Foundations and the Shop Tile Framework – the latter of which allows the truck to function as a shop. Ice cream is already a part of Stardew Valley by default, being purchasable from Alex's stall during summer, but having convenient access to it right on your farm is an adorable and welcome touch.
While Stardew Valley is blissfully free from the real-life woes of dealing with hot weather, a nice ice cream is always welcome. The truck even has its own unique design especially for the winter months, although the shop itself shuts down during the snowy season.
What you choose to do once you have your ice cream is up to you. Perhaps you could life sim games that have had their fill of Stardew.
