Issues
This mod is quite new and still in development, so you probably meet lots of kinks left to work out still as it affects some significant parts of the game’s mechanics. You have to check back from time to time for new versions (SMAPI will tell you when there’s an update), so be prepared for crashes, bugs, and even save game corruption.
Pendants
Giving pendants while engaged has been disabled (the receiver will reject the offer), because this interferes with the process of gaining a new spouse. Wait until after the marriage to get married!
Official spouse
The game has two separate ways of checking for spouses:
1. asking who a farmer’s spouse is
2. asking whether a given NPC is the farmer’s spouse.
Where it asks the former, there can only be one answer, so the mod’s author has tried to replace or work around such requests.
There are still instances where it matters who the “official spouse” is – most noticeably regarding who’s spouse room is shown in the default spouse room area. In order to switch which spouse is your official spouse, give a bouquet to a non-official spouse.
The bouquet won’t be consumed and you should see the official spouse room switch to their room immediately. This won’t do work if you are engaged, however, since the fiancé(e) needs to be the official spouse until after the wedding.
Marriage dialogue
Some vanilla marriage dialogue will be repetitive. For example, on Fall 15, every female spouse will ask “Have you figured out what you’re going to use for our grange display tomorrow?” You can fix this if you add a fall_15 entry to MarriageDialoguePenny, for example.
But many dialogue strings are hard-coded though, to the extent that they can’t be individualized for each spouse. Some of them are chosen pseudo-randomly but will be the same for each spouse on a given day. The mod’s author has changed those to be fully random per spouse, and opened up the hard-coded marriage dialogue strings for you to edit. If you want to edit them (for advanced users only), you can download the strings here. These strings can be overriden by using SMAPI or Content Patcher to add them to your spouse’s MarriageDialogue<Name> file.
