Dead in a cave, probably. Seeing as how he’s the only medically trained professional in Pelican Town and Zuzu City isn’t super close, he has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. Harvey isn’t the most popular bachelor in town (I’ve seen a lot of complaints about his moustache especially!) But he’s certainly reliable, and charming in a goofy sort of way. So if you’d like to change him up a little then here’s some mods to tweak Harvey to your liking.
10. Female Harvey
Check Out This Mod There could be any number of reasons why you’d rather have the charming doctor in Stardew Valley be a woman instead of a man. But even if you have no reason besides curiority, here’s a mod to help you do so. It comes complete with a full range of expressions, and this new sprite is definitely adorable! I don’t think the name is changed, but Harvey is gender neutral, right? Right?
9. No Glasses or Moustache Harvey
Check Out This Mod See what I mean about the moustache? Y’all want to get rid of this man’s moustache so badly. Fine. Don’t ever say I didn’t give you what you asked for. This mod does exactly what it sounds like: it takes the glasses and moustache away from Harvey’s sprite. Now what would be REALLY funny is if they adjusted his dialogue to make it so he complains he can’t see. Since, you know, you took his glasses. Leave the poor man in peace.
8. Harvey: Now With Beard
Check Out This Mod And on the flip side of the moustache coin, some of you want Harvey to have more hair. This mod adds a beard to the dear old doctor, and leaves his glasses and moustache as well. It honestly suits him brilliantly, and the beard helps him look a little older (if that’s your thing!) instead of looking like a college student trying really hard to look mature. Trust me. I would know.
7. Harvey No Those are Poisonous
Check Out This Mod This clever modder noticed that outside Harvey’s clinic are red mushrooms – which are, you know, toxic in Stardew Valley lore. For a doctor, you’d think he wouldn’t keep little arsenic toadstools as decoration. This mod replaces those nasty red mushrooms with harmless purple mushrooms, since it makes way more sense. We stan.
6. Harvey Refined
Check Out This Mod Harvey, but refined. This mod totally reworks Harvey’s sprite, while keeping all of the important distinguishing features (read: they left his moustache alone.) It fixes things like his thigh gap, which we aren’t body shaming or anything, it’s just a weird design choice on Concerned Ape’s side… Plus this also adds a moustache to his full form spite too. This modded did remove Harvey’s tailcoats, which feels like a crime, but sacrifices must occasionally be made.
5. Harvey Personality Mod
Check Out This Mod This mod, in its creator’s words, “makes Harvey more interesting”. It removes some of the medical things he’ll talk about, and adds dialogue both for pre and post marriage. Interesting dialogue is always good. He’ll also start sending more mail and gifts, including two all new quests. Plus this also totally removes his crush on Maru, which is probably for the best.
4. Doki Doki Dialogue
Check Out This Mod Here’s another dialogue mod which adds 15 new lines to Harvey’s character, with emphasis on cute, romantic lines. They’re really cute without being super sappy, and do a good job of staying in character for the good doctor. He is a bit of a sap, after all – the man takes you on a hot air balloon, but we stan him anyway.
3. Replace Harvey with Midoriya
Check Out This Mod Do you hate Harvey? Rather than unpacking that, just download this mod and find him replaced with one Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia instead. And for such a specific anime mod, this one is honestly weirdly detailed. It replaces all dialogue, all heart events, and everything. It isn’t just Harvey with an anime boy’s face glued on – it’s Deku completely. If you’re playing a crack game or really like My Hero, this might be for you.
2. Better Harvey Sprite
Check Out This Mod So here’s one more mod that replaces Harvey’s full body sprite. This one also fixes his leg gap, makes his glasses smaller, and adds some shadows to his face to make him look a lot better. Harvey is honestly such a looker (in the context of pixelated men, of course), and Concerned Ape did him so dirty in the vanilla game.
1. Harvey Marriage Expansion
Check Out This Mod Let’s be honest… if you clicked this article, it’s probably because you’re a Harvey stan and married the guy at least once. Well this mod expands the marriage to Harvey with 19 new dialogue lines, and a new twelve heart event. I love mods that add things after marriage, because Stardew has a really bad habit of making marrying the characters kind of the be all and end all of what you can do with them. For a game that lets you go on for years and years, you’d think they’d want to add more marriage stuff as time goes by. At least we have modding for that.
