Is there anyway to modify this? It would be fun to add to some of the NPC loves because there are some NPCs that only have a few options for gifting.It gets old giving the same gifts over and over...Also hoping for an easy DIY NPC dialogue,these lines get so old after 8 in game years!
its very easy! Just edit NPCGiftTastes.xnb and for dialogue, its all found in Content\Characters\Dialogue
Is there a program to unscramble the text? When I open NPCGiftTastes.xnb with notepad I get this : ???

You have to use Notepad ++ I believe. It's a coding program and it will allow the programs to save properly. It was mentioned in a previous thread but I'm not too sure where ;;
I've been able to rewrite the files using a program XNB Node but the finished files are .json not .xnb and that's where I'm stuck.I have no idea what to do next.
I'll install the program and see if I can help at all. It looks like XNB Node is not very good for editing text files? I think?
Thank you very much! I appreciate any help on this.I wish I knew how to do all this myself but it gets so frustrating after several hours of failed attempts.
Truthfully I haven't done nearly any modding. Changed my cat, changed my cave after I made a huge mistake lol. I want round faces, so I'm looking into that. But for editng the xnb files I'm sure you should use Notepad ++ so it saves as an XNB file,
I tried Notepad ++ but when I ran SMAPI it threw an error "NPCGiftTastes.xnb could not be loaded with several red lines and failed to start.I used to be a genius at modding the original Sims years ago but Stardew Valley seems so extremely complicated to edit.Without all the user created content and mods I have installed,it would be so boring by now(Fall year 8) I did find a mod somewhere that had round faces for females.It was something like feminine female farmer,I think.I think there was one in the works for male farmers too.
After many hours of work and installing several programs,I have finally been able to accomplish this.In case anyone else would like to change text files,the simplest and easiest way is through notepad ++ and XNBMOD Toolkit,both programs have to work together to work effectively.Thanks to all the help especially _maneki_ and I love your avatar of Sebastian! He's my favorite!
