All Stardew Valley Update 1.6.3 Patch Notes

ConcernedApe may be working away on Haunted Chocolatier, but that hasn’t stopped him from doling out extra content and mechanics for Stardew Valley, the farming sim that put him on the map. This latest update adds a few new features, such as letting you paint the new cabins.

It also stops you from buying Ancient Seed Packets from traveling carts, which might seem a bit mean, but it makes sense that Joe Merchant would have them just lying around. And if you’ve missed out on a pet, you can adopt their fuzzy little selves. On top of that, the patch squashes a host of glitches and graphical oddities. Here’s everything Stardew Valley Update 1.63 fixes via the patch notes:
