Update Version 1.6.4 in Stardew Valley

Version 1.6.4 in Stardew Valley

Not long after the release of version 1.6—a major update—version 1.6.4 has arrived, bringing a host of updates including significant bug fixes, interface improvements, and new gameplay elements. The name generation system has been notably changed: two names that were considered inappropriate have been removed.

One of the key features of this update is the introduction of over 20 new variations of mine layouts, which become available after the player reaches the bottom of the main mine. A new interactive scene has also been added, unfolding at the moment a player helps expand a character’s family.

Significant improvements have been made to existing items, including the introduction of an automatic petting device for animals, which greatly improves relationships with pets, dispensing from golden chests.

The removal of two names from the random name generator due to their inappropriateness, details of which were not officially disclosed, has prompted community members to share their experiences with unpleasant names from the generator on social media, likely included in the cleanup list.

Additionally, the update fixed numerous technical glitches, including a bug that caused animals to disappear on the farm and various crashes that occurred during building construction and interactions with objects in other scenes.
