Key Takeaways

Stardew Valley's romanceable characters are one of the most exciting and beloved features of the game.
Unlike what players would expect, they can date all 12 romanceable characters, most of the time without facing any sort of consequences, even when they're already married.
However, when people achieve specific circ*mstances, all the girls or boys from Stardew Valley might confront the players in a cutscene.

Stardew Valley isn't a regular farming sim, and that's why it has become one of the most beloved indie games since it was released in 2016. The game includes several unique features, such as the player's possibility of dating, marrying, and even forming families with some of the romanceable characters of Pelican Town. What's more, ConcernedApe gave freedom to the players to explore the relationships and unblock several Easter eggs throughout their journey in Stardew Valley. With Stardew Valley's 1.6 update, it is a great idea to explore new areas of the video game.

When it comes to relationships in Stardew Valley, there are many hidden secrets in the game that only the most bold and audacious players will eventually find. For example, players can get rid of their children, and unlock a disturbing and horrifying arc in Stardew Valley. What's more, players can also date every character in the game and unlock a couple of cutscenes that most players haven't explored. However, to be able to get there, players need to know exactly where to be and how to access it, or they might lose it. With the new Stardew Valley 1.6 update, a lot of players will probably want to go back to their saved files and play the new features. This is a great opportunity to start dating every Stardew Valley character and explore some of the best-kept secrets from the game.

Updated on August 24, 2024, by Andrea Sandoval: Stardew Valley has one of the most interesting stories and game dynamics in any farming sim. Players can explore the game and discover many interesting Easter eggs, seeing if they can date all the characters or even marry them. We updated this article to include a way in which players can marry every Stardew Valley character.

10 Best Kept Secrets In Stardew Valley

Mixing things up throughout the game, Stardew Valley's best-kept secrets unlock eye-opening revelations and add extra fun to a player's day.

Dating some of the villagers from Pelican Town is one of the features of Stardew Valley that makes it such a unique game. Players can nurture relationships with all the characters in the game, but they're able to romantically pursue the bachelors and bachelorettes living in town. Unlike other characters, players can only reach eight hearts with romanceable characters before dating them. To ask them out, the farmer has to buy a Bouquet from Pierre's Store and gift it to the character. If they already have 8 hearts in the relationship, they will say they feel the same, and it will unblock new experiences with the villager. Later on, players can marry and even have kids with their significant other.

To people wondering if they can date several villagers simultaneously, the answer is yes. Players can go as far as dating every romanceable character in Stardew Valley. They only need to reach eight hearts with all the players and gift them a Bouquet from Pierre's Store. Players will then be able to unlock all the ten heart events and dating scenes with every player in the game. Even if they are already married to one of the characters, they can still date all the other 11 bachelors and bachelorettes.

Dating all 12 characters in Stardew Valley is mostly harmless. Players can spend most of the game without getting any backslash from the romanceable villagers in Pelican Town. Not even married characters will negatively react to the player dating all the other characters, except jealousy now and then (for some characters only). However, once the players reach 10 hearts with the other characters, it could go downward if they visit two locations at the wrong time.

To break up with a character, players have to gift them a Wilted Bouquet, which can be created by adding a Bouquet into a Furnace.
To divorce characters, players have to visit Major Lewis' house.

10 Rarest Items in Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley is known for its secrets, and that includes plenty of hard-to-get, rare items that a lot of players don't even know about.

It makes sense that players will want to date every romanceable character in Stardew Valley, because this way, they can unlock more content and get more insight into the best villagers of the game. However, dating all the bachelors or bachelorettes can give way to a group 10-heart event that can harm all the farmer's relationships at the same time.

If the player has reached all 10 hearts with the bachelorettes and unlocks all of their heart events, entering Emily and Haley's house will trigger a cutscene. All the female characters will confront the player about dating all of them at the same time. Even though the player can reply in several ways, none of the dialogue choices will impact the scene. After the scene is over, the bachelorettes will be angry and distant with the player for about a week. However, everything will eventually go back to normal.

A similar thing happens with all the bachelors in Stardew Valley. Once the player reaches 10 hearts with all the romanceable male characters in the game, entering The Stardrop Saloon will trigger a cutscene where all the bachelors will get angry at the player for dating all of them. Much in the same way, the dialogue choices are irrelevant. Characters will also ignore the player for a brief time before forgiving them and going back to normal.

How To Unlock A Special Scene With All Romanceable Stardew Valley Characters

Players Need to Always Carry a Rabbit's Foot with Them for Luck

Players can easily obtain a Rabbit's Foot by raising rabbits in the coop.
The Rabbit will have to be well-fed and have a certain level of friendship.
Rabbits will only give Rabbit Foot on lucky days.
Rabbit Foot's can also be purchased sometimes at the Traveling Cart.
Some pets, when friendship is already maxed out, will give the player a Rabbit's Foot when they pet them.

Stardew Valley's Most Useful Exploit Lets Players Generate Unlimited Rare Items

An exploit in Stardew Valley's code allows players to get as many rare items as they want and sell them for major profit.

Even though the 10-heart group event backslash doesn't last long, players can avoid the bitter moment with one simple trick, and instead, get a wholesome scene with the whole group. In both instances, in Emily and Haley's house and The Stardrop Saloon, if the farmer is carrying a Rabbit's Foot, the characters won't get angry at them. Instead, the bachelorettes will simply gossip about Major Lewis' and Marnie's "secret" romance. The boys, on the other hand, will just play a game of pool with the farmer.

The group 10-heart event can only be triggered once per save file (one for the bachelors and one for the bachelorettes). This means that if players already triggered the scene where all the characters get angry, they won't be able to get to the scene where they get to hang out happily or the other way around. The good thing is that once players get the positive group ten-heart scene, they won't have to worry anymore about getting the other one.

Another important thing people should consider is that none of the ten-heart group events will be triggered once the player is married. Players can still date all the romanceable characters, but none of the scenes will happen. The event won't happen either if the players have also already proposed to a character or if they have broken up with one of them by using a Wilted Bouquet.

Can You Marry More Than One Person in Stardew Valley?

Mods Allow Players to Marry More than One Character

Mods are extensions of the game created by Stardew Valley fans.
Players can install them on their computer by using a program called SMAPI.
Players will then download the mod and add it to their mod file in the Stardew Valley folder on their computer.
Mods can only be used on PC. There is no way to alter the game when it comes to video game consoles.

How To Get Married in Stardew Valley

Romancing the villagers is one of the best features in Stardew Valley, but what does the player need to know about dating, marriage, and divorce?

People cannot marry more than one person in Stardew Valley at the same time. They can, however, marry one person, divorce them, and marry another one as many times as they want. To get a divorce, players need to go to the Mayor's Manor and interact with a book. This will also cost 50,000g, so players should select their first spouse carefully — unless they are already loaded. The divorced character will be forever scorned unless players offer 30,000g to the Dark Shrine of Memory in the Witch's Hut to delete the ex-pouse's memory. This means players could even marry the same person twice (although theoretically speaking, the character won't remember the other times). Marrying every person in Stardew Valley is worth it for all the cutscenes, but it will be pricey.

On the other hand, players can install mods to change the writing of the game and be able to marry more than one character at the same time. However, this usually changes the game in unpredictable ways, so it's recommended for players to only use mods in new files. At the moment, the only Polyamory mod updated to Stardew Valley's 1.6 is PolyamorySweet, which allows players to marry more than one character, have multiple roommates, and even romance other villagers or go through more complex divorces.

However, if players install the Polyamory mod, and then, either uninstall it or initiate the vanilla version of Stardew Valley (this is what people call Stardew Valley without mods), the game is going to react in weird ways. It might, for example, select only one of the spouses as the official spouse while simultaneously labeling other villagers as spouses, so it would be a tad confusing. It's better not to mix vanilla Stardew Valley with modded versions of the game.
