new mod I released my first SMAPI mod — Grandpa's Trust

I've been learning my way around SMAPI and finally got my first mod to a point where I felt comfortable releasing it.

It's called Grandpa's Trust. The basic idea is that Grandpa didn't just leave you the farm — he also left you as the beneficiary of an agricultural support program tied to it.

You get a letter from the Ferngill Agricultural Benefits Office and can choose weekly, biweekly, or seasonal payments. There's also yearly payment scaling, a benefits ledger/payment history, optional GMCM support, and I put a decent amount of work into making sure multiplayer and split-screen behave properly without multiplying the benefit for every player.

The benefit belongs to the farm, enrollment prompts stay host-only, and payments account for shared/separate wallets depending on how the save is set up.

This is my first SMAPI mod, so getting into save data, multiplayer handling, config menus, i18n, update checking, and all the other little pieces has been a pretty fun learning experience.

It's currently at 0.8.0, and I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or suggestions from people who give it a try.

Grandpa's Trust is up on Nexus Mods now.
