I really, really, REALLY did not want to leave this rating. The pack is fun. It's a good take on Stardew Valley, and I would have loved to actually play through it. It's just too f!$%ing laggy.

I really hope you enjoy constant, unending frame drops every few seconds, because that's what you'll be getting. And it's not just going to the 50s or 40s and then popping right back up, either. Naw. This pack will drop you to ZERO FPS for several seconds before finally catching back up. Completely unplayable, entirely unacceptable.

The art is really good! The builds look nice, the npcs are really cool, and if their dialogue was cleaned up a bit (grammar and sentence structure), they'd be even better. I just cannot play this pack with how poorly it performs. It is genuinely the worst performing pack I have ever played. It's just awful.

If you have a beefy computer, then you'll probably have better luck than I. If you have anything less than the top of the line in your machine, you should really just play Stardew Valley.
