Stardew Valley's upcoming Version 1.4 update fully detailed

We've talked a bit about the massive Version 1.4 update for Stardew Valley already, but today it has become available on PC. While we wait for the Switch version, a ton of details on what the update includes have been shared. You can check out the official patch notes here, or read up on a few of the juicier details below.

There is a new end-game mystery, involving an abandoned building…

Added some more character events… including a new 14-heart event for every spouse. I wanted to show a little more about what each spouse is up to after marriage, and give you another thing to look forward to after marriage.

Added Fish Ponds, a new farm building that allows you to raise fish and harvest a variety of items from them. Most fish will produce roe, which can be processed further in a preserves jar. Some fish produce other things, though, and many also produce secondary items that can be useful.

Added a new farm map: Four Corners

Four Corners is perfect for the new separate money option in multiplayer, since each farmer can have their own quadrant to live in. But it’s also fun for single player or cooperative farms. Each quadrant has a different perk, but the intruding cliffs reduce your total farming area. Another interesting feature is that the greenhouse, farm cave and pet area are located in the center of the farm.

Over 60 new items, some fun, some practical and some powerful
Added 24 new hairstyles, 181 new shirts, 35 new hats, 14 new pants , and 2 new boots
Junimo Kart has been almost completely re-done
Sheds can be upgraded to double their interior size
Added 2 new monsters and 2 new alternative levels to the mines
A new type of upgrade at the Blacksmith’s
An emote menu for your farmer (default key is Y)

This update also includes a huge amount of Quality of Life improvements, like being able to stack “big” items (like kegs), or seeing the Junimo Note icon pulse when hovering over an item that’s required for a bundle. The social tab now keeps track of villagers’ likes and dislikes (click on a villager’s icon to bring up their profile):

Your collections tab now keeps track of all the letters you’ve received
14 new music tracks!
Hundreds of bug fixes
