We teach you how to create your main character in Stardew Valley, whom you will direct throughout your adventure through Pelican Town.
When starting a new game in Stardew Valley , you’ll need to create your main character, who will be the protagonist of the story around Pelican Town. In this guide, we’ll tell you what customization options and tools are available.
How to create your character in Stardew Valley
When you select the “new game” button you will be presented with several options , such as your character’s name, your farm’s name, your favorite thing, and your character’s appearance, among other things.
Name of the character and the farm
This section is the easiest of all , since you will simply have to give a name to your character and another to the farm, which will be your home. Be careful, this is not something that you will be able to change once you start the game, so think carefully about both names before starting. Then, you will also have to reflect your favorite thing , so that depends on each person’s tastes.
Favorite thing and animal
As if there weren’t enough options, you can also add your favorite thing and the animal you like the most . They don’t go into much detail, but you can choose different colors and breeds of cats and dogs , which will then be hanging around your farm to keep you company.
Appearance
Here you can choose the character’s gender, along with various aspects such as hair, eyes, clothing, eye color, and so on. That’s a bit of tinkering, but in case you don’t feel like customizing it that much, you can use the die in the upper left area, which will give you random characters without changing what you’ve previously written.
Farm
This section may be the one that causes the most doubts , since if it is the first time you play, you may not know them very well, not to mention that each one gives different advantages. If you are not clear, my recommendation is that you play on the standard farm , but if you want to know what each farm does and choose according to your preferences, we leave you this other guide here .
As an extra, you can also choose whether or not to skip the prologue , since if you are not very interested in the story and want to discover things for yourself, it is a very good option to get straight to the point.
