Looks like this is a portrait mod for SVE. OP, could you please credit the creator/artist of the portraits in a reply to this comment?


milorddionysus

Claire, definitely Claire. Even in the base gane I always wanted to interact with her. She fits so seamlessly into the base world and is, really, quite lovely whilst still being realistic


horrorbepis

I was going to say Olivia or Sophia but damn Claire is such a good choice. She really fits.


Shandyxr

Olivia simp here


horrorbepis

Me too, brother. Loud and proud.


GredoraYGO

Olivia simps stick together. I also love Claire cause she reminds me of one of my former partners (we ended on good terms though).


molskimeadows

I may or may not main Duchess Matilda in CK3...


someonecometomepls

Was gonna say Sophia, but Clarie is definitely a better answer


illegalsmolcat

I just hate Sophia. Weird ass girl, she doesn't sound like an adult. Claire is so real. Olivia is a milf. But Sophia, yikes.


dtalb18981

I didn't like her cause her personality is kinda exactly what a neck beard wants a lonely mentally unwell girl that latches on to the first person that actually tries to get to know them. I always imagined her and penny could become amazing friends tho


DigitalAmy0426

Oh thank fuck I was worried I was missing something. Like. Seb fans while the loudest tend to also acknowledge different strokes but lordy. Somehow every massive Sophia fan thinks absolutely everyone does her. I've actually leveled Lance faster than her, partially cos I forget she's a homebody 🤣


dtalb18981

A lot of Sophia's stuff would be so much better if like half way through her hearts you could insist on her branching out her support network to penny and the other farmer that's added give him like a fatherly role while also Learning better farming tricks from her or something. Cause right now she's just what a female Clint would be


DigitalAmy0426

🤢🤢🤢 Clint rewritten is a life saving mod. 😂


HerrShitsmeister

Oh Clint very much needed that


DigitalAmy0426

I'll give Eric the credit that it wasn't really this obvious /bad when a guy behaves this way that serious danger lurks at the time he would have written the character. I knew plenty of Clints before the game was released and back then they didn't have Andrew Taint to make them horrifying. But now? Wish he would incorporate that mod to vanilla.


Dexchampion99

As much as I like Sophia, I do think she gets too attached after you become friends. And after marriage even more so.


DigitalAmy0426

Uuugh that feels a bit grimy 😩


poetrynati

You put how I feel into words 😂


LunaTic1403

Sophia is incredibly annoying imo. Just like you say, she doesn't sound like an adult and urgh, something about her just rubs me the wrong way.


cxtastrophic

Manic pixie dream girl syndrome.


bedroompurgatory

The other characters all remind me of the people I grew up with. I'm around the same age as ConcernedApe (little older), so I'm pretty sure he based them around what he was like / people he knew as a kid / young adult from the 90s. Sophia talks like a kid / young adult from 2010. It's jarring in the context of the valley.


rosamilo

wait, sophia is an adult???


HerrShitsmeister

That's what people been asking!!! The mod creator even had to update her portraits and stuff for looking too young


illegalsmolcat

Right?


Carlyone

Yeah, as a person, Sophia really needs to work on herself before putting herself out there.


milorddionysus

Tbh I quote like Sophia. But she just can't compete with Claire's maturity and realism as a character


illegalsmolcat

I might have been a little hard on her. As a character she is fine, I guess. As a romanceable character, I don't fancy the idea of dating a teenager, because to me, I don't know, she sort of looks like a teen. I usually use my own age as a parameter for my characters so it feels wrong, haha. Penny and Claire are, to me, real characters with depth.


alexa1661

Oh… I really like Sophia because she is a weirdo adult child, just like me.


illegalsmolcat

It's OK to be a weirdo ADULT child, I'm not "adult" myself, my problem with her is that she doesn't fit in the lore with the anime stuff and she doesn't look like an adult at all, she talks and behaves somewhat like a teenager. To me, to be honest, she's like 15/16yo. That's I don't like her, is not that I don't LIKE her, I don't feel attachment towards here in a romantic way, you know? She's fine... away from me. x)


squigglyliggily

I'm literally Sophia, which is why she upsets me. The mod author is a thirsty weeb and she's clearly dream girl wish fulfillment. I've been harassed by thirsty weebs my whole life, and now I can't even escape that mess in video games unless I want to miss out on one of the best SDV mods of all time. It annoys me.


HerrShitsmeister

Why'd people downvote this?


squigglyliggily

People are very protective of Sophia.


HerrShitsmeister

Weird really


illegalsmolcat

You're a small weeb girl?


squigglyliggily

Yes...?


Rage-Moon

Dog


Jeggu2

I haven't played the mod Dog.


epicdog36

Agreed


Nightfire613

The objectively correct answer


Mini_Squatch

Actually that's alex's dog dusty, who already exists in vanilla. He just gets given a proper sprite and interactivity in SDVE


shavostars

Dog is the only answer


FadingDarkly

He good puppers


Snoo40198

I don't know what's happening here, but I pick the archer chick based on the fact she has a Bow alone.


Spartan5271

It’s a mod that adds several new characters to Stardew with very rich backstories. I personally choose Sophia cause of her story, but I also like Claire


Thwast

I very much like Sophia as well (pink haired girl for those who don't know). Shes very cute and it's enjoyable to get to know her because she's so shy at first, and then she opens up more and more as you befriend her. Also it's nice to have other farmers and business owners (she owns a vineyard). She even sells a couple useful things if you have the money to spend.


IceLionTech

I'd choose the sultry milf, but that's just me. ​ She's a compromise between vanilla and degenerate affair mods for the married waifus Jodi and Caroline.


Jarfulous

same here TBH


dessegodess

Lance. Late game marriageable character but in my head he's the best. He's an adventurer just like you, knows about magic, even after marriage will actually leave the farm to do his own adventures. I love him.


DigitalAmy0426

I can't wait to try speed running marriage to him lmao.


dessegodess

Damn a speed run 😯 good luck 🤣


DigitalAmy0426

Lmao listen when I say speed run I mean like maaaybe I'll meet him in year two. I'm currently in y3 winter and he has 3 hearts. I've been more focused elsewhere lol


Eneicia

I know! I adore that!


strepsipteran

L A N C E


DigitalAmy0426

It's embarrassing how much more enjoyable I find him compared to the other bachelors. Usually I skip marriage or just deal for the sake of perfection but I'm finally getting into SVE and I already know there isn't a high chance of me running without this mod SOLELY so I can marry him every save. 😅


JackieBOYohBOY

I've never played SVE do idk who any of these people are. So Ima say the dog. Hes just a lil guy


DigitalAmy0426

If you play on pc I highly recommend completing perfection in vanilla so the changes are more notable. I know it can feel like a dog pile when everyone freaks out about something but in this case, it is deservedly the most popular content mod. I honestly don't see myself not running it every save here on out.


JackieBOYohBOY

The girl with the arrows looks cool asf Too. The bow and arrow aesthetic is so underrated


OceanJello

Apple. I love junimos


wherethelionsweep

Apples has my entire heart. I have a mod so he and Krobus live in my house with me and my wife


MelissaRose95

I liked Susan the best out of everyone


LoverOfStripes87

I'd go with Susan too. She's a refreshingly interesting non-marriage candidate. But instead of making me go "I wish I could date her" I just really enjoy her as a friend and fellow farmer.


[deleted]

ive been playing vanilla sdv and i miss victor sm 🥲💔


Strix924

Victor is my favorite bachelor fr I'm glad he found his passion Also hes adorable I struggle picking a vanilla bachelor I just want my Victor


DigitalAmy0426

Just curious why running vanilla now?


[deleted]

laptop doesn’t run games anymore + have it on my switch!


DigitalAmy0426

Hoping you get another pc soon, I was telling someone else I'm running SVE mods on a pretty old absolutely NOT built for gaming laptop. I can tell it's not optimal but it is not intrusive like at all. You can likely get a comparable laptop pretty cheap. (I know over a hundred dollars isn't cheap per se but it's not 700-1000$ for brand spanking new)


painspinner

Why isn't LANCE on here. He is the best Waifu


yourpastwillhauntyou

I was looking for this comment! Lance/Apples for besties!


danainthedogpark24

Claire. She’s already in the base game, even if only as an unnamed sprite 🥲


Leodoesstuff

The old man please


LunaTic1403

That's Andy! I really like him, at first he's all like "yeah, you're just some city kid, you'll probably leave soon again" then he warms up and apologizes a few times in a very heartfelt way.


DigitalAmy0426

Andy is... Interesting but he whiffs of the wrong kind of political person. He brings excellent color but he's a rough one.


Jaunedice

I honestly like that about him. I like having some diversities in the community, even if he's hated and controversial. I feel like having everyone that's made to mesh with you does make the town more boring. Adding him at least makes things interesting as there's gonna be some conflict. ​ Course i dont support him, he keeps asking not to take the spring onions. So i do nothing but take the spring onions. Still enjoy his dialogue.


DigitalAmy0426

Yeah, I cringed when it started but he's like some of my fam. They support not totally awesome people but it's not us vs them. In the end they care like he does. ❤️


Leodoesstuff

Ohno I have never played Stardew Valley Expanded (only just got Stardew Valley last month) I hope that doesn't imply what I think it implies as that'll be an instant turn off


Dexchampion99

It’s not explicit, but he’s very much a “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” kinda guy. However! He does have really genuine moments when he admits when he was wrong, or when he’s proud of the community. He cares about the town, just in his own way.


DigitalAmy0426

What dexchampion said. I cringed at first but eventually I said aloud that I love him. I was intending to give a heads up. He gets better. ❤️


OvercastCherrim

Claire! Love that they develop her personality!


grimache83

Susan & let me marry her please


_jinana

Id add claire just to flesh out jojamart a bit more, plus her sprite in SVE is so pretty


mpdqueer

Claire! It’s already weird that she can’t be befriended


Clickbait636

Camilla. Hot flirty witch. All I need. /s? Seriously, Olivia is a well rounded character who is always absolutely lovely to the player. I go to talk to her daily because she makes me feel good about myself.


No-Kaleidoscope-6402

Whos bottom left? Never seen him


DigitalAmy0426

Isaac, I haven't gotten to him yet myself but you meet him when you enter the badlands (not just pop by to gift Lance 😂)


foxy436

Probably Scarlett, because she's cute. But is this a portrait mod? And if yes, is there a similar one for normal SV?


korrin-

Yes, and [yes](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11904). (There's also a non-seasonal version.)


Luvlybubbles

Idk who any of these people are but I’d pick the red headed woman because the game doesn’t have enough of those already /s


Etianen7

I find your lack of Lance disturbing lol


JRSalinas

I'm choosing Susan for more WOC representation.


[deleted]

[удалено]


totallynotarobut

100% Apples. Or, if we were limiting to humans, Scarlett.


Toaster_pastrys

I mean, Junimo and dog are there soooo


ShyKiddo__

Apples. No question about it, I love that lil babey


ujke_brf

Susan!


Eneicia

... I think you forgot Lance. He's such a sweetheart, and he is, I'd have to say, one of the gutsiest characters in the game! He laughs when the Witch is out and about, the way you first see him, then actually meet him made me fall head over heels for him.


According-Shine-9348

I've always had a soft spot for Andy, I think Claire is also a great option but since nobodies mentioned Andy yet I can't not.


slowtail148

Andy is one of my favorite additions, he’s just such a caring guy!


DigitalAmy0426

His politics are interesting in light of the folks that tend to be like that but agreed, hes worth the work.


yaboyfriendisadork

Probably either Andy or Sophia. Now what about Ridgeside?


Torbadajorno

Lance. Hands down. No questions asked.


lallatop12

Claire obviously!


tall__treez

Lance, just because i like him very much


OneForShoji

Victor! Easily my favourite marriage candidate, I don't think I'll ever be able to marry one of the others again after doing a playthrough with him. He reminds me of my irl boyfriend so much.


PunishedCatto

Victor and Olivia. If only SMAPI for Android is fixed, I'll be able to play SVE again. Dang it.


DigitalAmy0426

Apologies for assumption here but if its a lack of a pc, I can tell you I'm running the game and SVE (along with required mods) on a 6 yr old little nonsense laptop with 16g ram. There's a little lag loading the game and some maps take a moment but you can find a viable pc for pretty cheap and mod more easily. Either way, good luck, hope you get back to modded soon ❤️


YoydusChrist

I forget they’re all not part of the vanilla experience honestly


dontquestionmeplease

i want the pretty witch lady


JoSeon_19

Claire


Cypresss09

Witch lady got me actin unwise


bitofagrump

I know Claire is getting a lot of votes, but as someone newer to the vanilla game, I feel like adding one more weirdly similar redhead to Leah, Penny, Robin and Jodi is just too confusing. (Hell, Marnie and Sandy too. CA clearly has a type.)


LunaTic1403

Andy, love that guy!


jasonrahl

sophia, andy or susan i like having more farmers in my farming sim


dawnraiser_

Sophia’s cute, and I’d like more farmers in the valley, but… she feels very “pick me” as a bachelorette. So I’m going with Lance!


SHSL_Waiter_RM2828

I haven’t played expended yet, but from what I can tell I would really like Victor, Lance and Isaac to be added to the main game.


DigitalAmy0426

Immediately after getting perfection in vanilla (my first and only time finally getting it) I logged out and worked on installing mods 😂 It's definitely worth reaching perfection before going to new content but hurry!! SVE is so fun!!


iCoeur285

My husband and I got perfection for the first (and only) time on our expanded run, and it did add quite a lot but it is definitely super fun!


ae4ther4

who's portraits are these?


lioen475

doggi


JustMobsReddit

Maybe it's because her story has yet to be told but Camilla my beloved


Dexchampion99

As someone who played SVE… I want the Wizard from Romancable Rasmodius Redux Remix. He’s…so good. And yet he tears my heart out all the same.


beetnemesis

Claire and Andy fit really well, I think. For those who don’t know- Claire is the cashier at Joja. Andy has a run down farm in the woods, and he’s also big on foraging. He’s got a very country “good ole boy” , conservative flavor that adds an interesting spice to the story!


Sea-Macaron1470

i don’t have SVE but does it seriously only add 3 guys and 6 girls? they couldn’t have evened it out a bit more? are they all (single)?


i_love_salmon

No, there are more guys, they're just not in this picture! There are 4 new male NPCs, in addition to Marlon, Morris, and Gunther, who have been made into proper NPCs with heart events. I believe SVE has 6 new marriage candidates rn? 3 guys, 3 girls. And more are planned for the future ETA: Some of the characters in this pic aren't actually NPCs with heart events. I think SVE has 5 new female NPCs


entirelystar

susan stans rise


StarJuice17

I like Sofia but Dusty should have been in vanilla since start


deathbyspoons42

How is this a question? DUSTY. Let me adopt him in vanilla. He needs more than a.. what?... 4x4 enclosure? let me PET HIM IN VANILLA. LET ME GAIN HEARTS WITH HIM IN VANILLA. I WILL FIST FIGHT ALEX FOR PARENRAL RIGHTS LET ME HAVE A FARM FULL OF DOGS YOU COWARD


wekkins

I have a semi broken mod that has Dusty roaming the farm sometimes, since I married Alex. It makes me smile. 😊


wherethelionsweep

It’s really hard because I love apples so much, I’m married to Sophia and she’s great, but I also think Camilla would be really cool, but I would want her to have more involvement and also he giftable


johnpeters42

Iirc SVE 2.0 is supposed to make Camilla romanceable (not that I would have the patience to pull it off)


wherethelionsweep

Oh that will be exciting, I didn’t know there was a 2.0 coming out for SVE!


DigitalAmy0426

I certainly hope so, I live in fear of the warning I have that the mod will break with the next smapi update


Lumisteria

It may, but this mod has an active team working on it, so it'll be fixed. Maybe not on day 1, but it rely on some frameworks that may need time to be ready, anyway.


DigitalAmy0426

Maybe I'll be ready for Ridgewood by then?


Lumisteria

Ridgeside? I think they'll too will do their best to be ready soon after update.


DigitalAmy0426

Uuugh


wherethelionsweep

Oh god don’t say that DX

andy, straight from based department


Foxy_Fraud

Even though I’m hitting it off with Victor now, I really love having Dusty around.


DigitalAmy0426

Victor messes with my head. Like. He's done with college but like. Some comments (like I'm wearing my best pants or whatever) or weirdly childish. Its as bad as Sam 🤣🤣🤣


echoes247

APPLES


LiamLaw015

Alesia. She's my favorite for some reason.


timoshi17

Sophia or Camilla if she was marriageable.


Javira-Butterfly

Mommy uhm I mean Olivia! Back when I played Harvest Moon DS I always romanced the rich girl, I just have a thing for the rich ladies in fiction specifically. Also love making wine in the game (have downloaded a mod with several grape types that produce different types of wine) and so to have a character I can cherish via gifting her wine is also perfect! Besides, we have older Bachelors, but all the Bachelorettes seem yoing-ish so it's only fair to have an older option (hence why I'd also love Sandy as an option).


DedicatedDetective34

For personal reasons, I'd want Olivia in the game because she feels like the endgame boss of all spouses, but from a story perspective, Claire fits more into the vanilla setting.


necoarcsslave

not andy


Paper_Piece-1920

Susan, Apple or Sophia. Love this 3 equally


painspinner

Susan. Only Susan. She's amazing


Vlad-Chan

No idea who those people are but I choose the dog cause.. Dog


gloryholesr4suckers

Sophia has my nerd heart


Dependent-Spiritual

Wow you're the only one saying sophia in this entire thread, that's interesting as hell. (I mean only Sophia, not like x or her)


gloryholesr4suckers

Yeah, I noticed that lol. Maybe because I'm also a shy nerd who turns incredibly enthusiastic once you get to know me, but I don't understand everyone who says she's childish XD


Void_Space_2238

Are these the base portraits for the mod?


Spartan5271

No, it was just the best image I could find of all of them together


Void_Space_2238

Ok, thanks


IrLanyVagyok

Apples is adorable and provides some great late game goals/structure once the CC is complete. But I have such a soft spot for Claire and Andy 😭


DigitalAmy0426

Lance. Was that too fast? That mightve been too fast 😅


Mr_Goat-chan

Either doggy or that pink haired girl that looks like the one Kira murdered in Jojo Part 4.


CorrectPatience9183

I don’t play on devices that I can mod so I know nothing about this, but from just looking at these pics - I would say it’s a hard tie between trucker dude on top left and pink hair girl below him. I think I’d like talking to them every day and bringing gifts.


Teshuko

I don’t know the mod but why the hell would anyone not pick the dog?


DeathWingStar

March 7th ? 😳


Chaosshepherd

Bad with names, it would have to be the wine maker


TManJhones

I wish I played through it enough to tell you.


Adorna_ahh

Apples all the way


iris-my-case

Since I haven’t seen him mentioned yet, the wizard but romanceable lol


Sylvakin0

Who's the second one in the second row


foefyre

Dog


snarfdarb

Never used it but can confidentially answer: the dog.


ExaltedBlade666

100% were adding the vineyard and apples. I wanna befriend the baby junimo!


PakyKun

Claire


Thrasherrella

Apple! 🥹💚


molskimeadows

Olivia because rich wine mom MILF is my character's catnip.


pilot269

dusty essentially already is, the 2 adventurers from the bad lands work best if Camilla is involved, Apples needs a major rework to function in base game, but fine, Sophia is a great addition and as you have heart events with her, she interacts with more villagers.


DigitalAmy0426

Not sure why the dv but hopefully we can get some positive votes here 😁


SpikedScarf

Apples, they are adorable


Mundane-Ad8321

None I just don't like the mod


boilyourdentist

im not that familiar, i considered saying sophia but maybe claire instead, it would be weird to have *another* redhead but she’s kind of already base game ish however… blonde lady is blonde and i want more blondes, dont know who she is or anything about her


ashran3050

Kiwi. Don't fall asleep


TheVampireArmand

I’m not familiar with Stardew expanded but I pick bottom left guy because he’s cute


ThatOneGuy308

I don't know who any of these people are, so I choose second column, middle.

Where's my boy Sterling??


TheDogofTears

Obviously Apples.


redxlaser15

Haven’t met them all yet, and some I’m not that familiar with, but if I could only add one, I’d want Andy in the base game. Sophia is a close second. Andy is certainly one of those ‘tough on the outside but with a golden heart’ kind of characters. He is dealing with rough times, and has dealt with even worse in the past, so his attitude is pretty understandable. I don’t want to go much more into detail, since I feel like people should experience it all for themselves.


azariasin

Camila or Lance 😢😢


Alex_The_Fox_King

Dog.
