Update 1.64 for Stardew Valley introduces several improvements, primarily focused on player interactions, animal product quality, and stability. Vanilla players will notice added spouse reactions during interactions, a refined system preventing fish loss when passing out during certain activities, and a fix that ensures animal products reflect proper quality levels when harvested. The patch also addresses rare crashes related to Robin’s construction animation and Stardrop acquisition, along with spouse positioning issues for farmhands and improved efficiency in sound effects. Additionally, it improves the Russian translation and corrects minor bugs that enhance the overall player experience.
This patch is particularly considerate of both modded players and mod authors, adding solutions to prevent crashes from sound effects overload and enabling multiple instances of streamed sound effects.
