Once again, the Baldur’s Gate 3-themed mod, known as Baldur’s Village, is accessible for players of Stardew Valley, following its unexpected removal. Originally launched in 2016, Stardew Valley has maintained its popularity, largely due to the dedicated community that continually creates enriching content for the game.
ConcernedApe’s Stardew Valley thrives on the creativity of its community, which frequently devises new enhancements, ensuring a distinctive gameplay experience. The modding landscape is quite diverse, ranging from minor tweaks like seasonal outfits and updated character portraits to comprehensive additions like visible fish or mechanics providing detailed information about the game activities. Recently, interest surged around the Baldur’s Village mod, only for it to be unexpectedly removed from the platform by Wizards of the Coast.
Fortunately, the situation has changed; the beloved Baldur’s Village mod is back on Nexus Mods. In an official statement to PC Gamer, Wizards of the Coast clarified that the DMCA notification that triggered the mod’s removal was sent in error. After its deletion, the mod was flagged as “under moderation review,” but it has now made a triumphant return, much to the delight of gamers. In a remark on Twitter, Larian CEO Swen Vincke hailed the quick resolution as “a good ending,”expressing hopes for the mod’s continued development.
