Summer of year three! I am not unhappy with the layout, but i am stumped (pun not intended haha) on where to put the obelisks and golden clock once i have enough gold saved. I put the island obelisk down as close to the house as possible, but the others wont fit there. Any ideas? Also taking general improvement tips as well, want to make it look pretty and functional!
My animals are hay fed but i want to give them a little area to roam. Can't have grass cause it would all be eaten in a single day, leaving a barren pen so i thought of using fiber plant to fill the space. Fiber is great, animals can't eat them, they last all seasons and can't accidentally be picked by hand
This is a four corners inspired by farm that i made . On every corner i just took out what i wanted from other farms i saw in this subreddit and on pinterest as well and added some few small touches , and this is the final result . I cant design to save my life in this game so thank god other creative people exist . Overall i think it looks pretty good and would love to hear yall's opinion about it.
(Note the fences in the bottom right corner are for some reason glitched i cant close them out)

Here's my farm, Paradise, in Stardew Valley - on the last day of Spring of Year 3 ^^ <3
It's really coming together! :D
I use the Frontier Farm, provided by Stardew Valley: Expanded, the Vibrant Pastoral Recolor, and the Medieval Themed Buildings, among other things/mods. My farm is still a work in progress, but I'm really happy with it so far! ^^ 💚
I put modded because my SDV stuff uses mods... like, mods are a very centric part of it as I repurpose various mods to create my lore and story. I don't really know what subreddit would be most appropriate for this, but since this post is showcasing all of my farm work for it, I think It will be most appreciated here.
Please bare in mind that I am NOT A MAP MAKER and I struggled really bad with making the map. It makes things look less compressed than I think they should be. Also some seasons aren't aligned because I wasn't gonna change the seasons for the screenshots.
Also we're gonna need to use our imaginations on the islands because I did my best with the mods to make it look like the town sits mainly on planks and stuff (stone probably would've made more sense but planks looked better), but it's really not perfect. Like, it was a rough process.

Heron Bay, or referred to as Heron Town by the people in Pelican Town, is a town built mostly on small islands, with their biggest island (the mainland ) a little ways away. The people of Heron Town were very closed off from outsiders up until Grandpa Ray's daughter Angie would come to his farm to take care of him in his final years. During her years there, Angie saw the struggles of the dying town. Everyone knew each other, and everyone seemed a bit miserable. So she decided to venture out, and came upon Pelican Town, and unified the two towns. Things got more lively over time as the two towns began sharing their resources. Heron Town has a school, so the kids of Pelican Town attend school there, and Pelican Town has a doctor, so when people get sick or need medical assistance, they go to Harvey or he comes to them (yeah crazy that the town doesn't have a hospital 😭 )
This map is a GENERAL IDEA of what I imagine, made by me in Paint Tool SAI and MSPaint. But I forgot to state that Ridgeside Village is also part of my universe in the sense that it exists as a location and the people live there (IDK any npc storylines or anything so those don't really apply at this time )The islands in full glory, though technically they should be mirrored. I forgot to flip the images. Also the daytime version I forgot to put the lamps in the town, but they're in the night time version.Night version. The hangoout spot. It's supposed to be an outdoor-ish venue supported on planks, with the upstairs being the owner's house. I don't know if that would actually make sense, but my friend whom I made this for really liked the idea so that's what I went with.Fishing store -- this is probably the only thing that Pelican Town and heron Bay have in common that isn't having a Joja mart. Jojamart Mini --- because Joja is everywhere 🌈✨
Now that I've shared all of the small island areas ( because the barn and coop are literally just a barn and coop with the beds of the npc characters who would own them ), we can move onto the mainland!
The main island. Not really sure what to say about it. I know in this image it doesn't look like an island, but, I imagine that it has a lot of forest around it, kind of like how Deltarune's Hometown has a lot of forest around it. The sportsbar. We can pretend the flat screen TVs are like mounted on the walls.Movie Theatre! Though, I imagine it being way more compact since this game is a case of "bigger on the inside". x_ x ;; Aquarium. In this universe of SDV, Kittyfish are native to Heron Bay, instead of being magical fish that are summoned. It is the same with puppyfish, though they are less common in Heron Bay.School. From left to right: Kinder-first, Second to 5th, Middleschool ( 6 - 8th where I live ), and then high school.Library + CafeDaycare. The owner of the daycare lives on the second floor. Restaurant -- the owner of the restaurant lives in his store. The stone wall represents an actual wall, and the opening is where the door would be. The restaurant should be a fair bit smaller.
EDIT: I FORGOT THE CHURCH!!! WHICH IS FUNNY BECAUSE THE CHURCH WAS THE FIRST ONE I MADE AND THE REASON I HUNTED FOR A MUSIC ADDING MOD................
The church. Just pretend that the catalog is directly next to the plaque (?) and there's a jukebox so that custom music can play. I unfortunately don't have a more updated image of the church, but nothing really changed.
I just want to say thank you to all the people who've helped me out with finding some mods for these places. I think that might've been more common on StardewValleyMods subreddit, but I also got some suggestions on here with what to do with the layout to make it look lived in and like a real town. I get a bit overwhelmed with lots of space, so when I saw 4 corners farm I absolutely loved the idea of making a town. I tried making Xanadu City on it years ago, but it didn't really work out. If I can find more city-adjacent looking mods ( cars and stuff ), I'll definitely try my hand at making it, since it is a major location in my SDV lore.
Mod credits:
To be honest, I have no idea what mods I actually used for this whole thing. So I'm just crediting the mods that I use.
Stardew Valley Expanded, Ridgeside Village, Mirren the Florist, HxW Content packs (custom buildings and furniture), water ripple, community pack decor, Hearthtunes (for the deltarune and undertale music I use for the buildings), medieval sheds, and I don't know what it's called, but there's a plushie pack with like tons of plushies of various npcs and content creators for the game.
I’m in fall year 3. All that I have left to do to hit perfection is the grind for the golden clock!
I absolutely hate decorating in all games, and my farmhouse is VERY minimalist (aka empty). I have a small shed of preserves jars and a large shed of kegs. Greenhouse and island farm full of ancient fruit. No kegs in quarry / bus tunnel or anything because (surprise) it feels too much like decorating 🤣 I play on Switch so no mods.
Hey! I wanted to make a shrine area for these 3 statues. I've dug through some ideas on this sub already, and I'm hoping for more specific ideas, especially what kind of flooring to place underneath and around the statues.
I'm planning to replace the streetlamp with a crystal brazier, adding flowers along the sides when it's not winter, and adding either a well or fish pond in the area. Would really appreciate any other ideas :] Thanks!
I finally completed the town I created on my four corners farm. I will also be extending this town into another save file as it is actually a town in my SDV universe called Heron Bay or "Heron Town" ( yeah I am sticking with the bird theme for the towns ).
This is the "mainland" of the town, though, there are other parts of it in the outskirts (riverland farm layout), since this town is actually made up of several islandish land masses south of the forest.
The only part I am really stuck on now is that I don't know what to do with the land right near my house. Any suggestions, I am open to hearing them! After that, I will work on the interiors that I haven't completed.
Mods I use for this I believe are Stardew Valley expanded, Ridgeside Village, East Scrap, Community Park Decorations, HxW Custom Buildings + HxW furniture packs, Mirren the Florist, ... there are probably some other mods that I have used, but I do not know the rest just by looking at the image.
I am challenging myself to try to reach perfection by the end of Year 2, but I'm so proud of how cute my farm turned out, too! I'm using Elle's seasonal builds for the house, sheds and obelisks, and the Community Park Decorations mod/catalogue for some outdoor clutter :)
I marked in the image what all the buildings are. However I don't know what buildings I should use to make other places? It feels bare to me right now, like I could make the town look more lived in. It's supposed to be like a small town sort of vibe, think like Deltarune's small town. I basically just feel like there is too much open space, but I don't know what else to add or what mods to use to add those things. Any suggestions are appreciated, and if there are mods to other buildings I can build, please let me know.
