Stoffton

Stoffton is a thriving mill town located north and west of Pelican Town. Stoffton is designed to be played either as a standalone mod (you can access Stoffton as soon as the bus has been repaired) or with Fostoria. If you have both Fostoria and Stoffton installed, you can walk to Fostoria or Stoffton immediately upon starting a new game.

Stoffton is a substantial expansion to the base game, including two large maps, nearly forty (40) locations, eleven (11) shops, almost fifty (50) new NPCs and many new marriage candidates. The total number of marriage candidates is configurable, and can range from fifteen to seventeen.

Stoffton can be found on Nexus Mods here.

Locations

Stoffton has two larger areas for you to explore. New Pasture is a rural area to the south of the town, and, if you have Fostoria installed, you will walk through New Pasture to reach Stoffton. The Stoffton map includes the town proper.

New Pasture

New Pasture is primarily home to the Schafer family. While some of the family still resides on the family farm, one has moved away and others have moved to Stoffton to open various businesses. Currently, three generations live on the Schafer Farm which has grown over the years to include several additional farmhouses, barns, coops, and pastures.

Schafer Farm	Most of the buildings and land in New Pasture currently belong to the Schafer family, but the heart of the farm is in the northeastern portion of New Pasture. Three generations live in the large farmhouse and operate a shop on the ground floor. The property also includes a large shed, three barns, and a smaller, boarded up home (far to the northeast very near the entrance to the Stoffton map) that was the Schafer's original residence. Six people live in the farmhouse (although many more visit: Fiona Schafer (widow of Josef), Otto Schafer (widower and oldest son of Fiona and Josef), and Otto's four adult sons - Josef, Mac, Odo, and Rolf. Three of the Schafer boys are marriage candidates, while one (Mac) has his own story you can pursue. (You can also use the config.json file to convert Mac to a marriage candidate.)
Vogel Farm	In the northwestern portion of New Pasture is the Vogel Farm. The Vogel family once farmed in New Pasture but left the area and sold their home and outbuildings to the Schafer family. The farmhouse has been boarded shut for many years, but Mac Schafer has been using the nearby coop to raise chickens and he has some hopes and dreams regarding a future use of the farmhouse. The shed on the west edge of the property is in use by Odo Schafer, a pilot and model airplane enthusiast.
Holtz Tree Farm	In the west central portion of New Pasture is what remains of Holtz Tree Farm. The Holtz family were woodcutters who also ran an evergreen farm, but they have since left the area and sold their property to the Schafer family. The house has been boarded shut for many years, but the area is still heavily wooded, and various residents of Stoffton can be found in the area, enjoying the dense growth of trees.
Stone Cabins & Quarry	The southern portion of New Pasture holds the stone cabins and a bit of the quarry that first drew residents to the area. One of the cabins is maintained by the Schafer family because Fiona grew up there before marrying and starting the family farm. Some cabins are in varying stages of disrepair, and others are occupied by secretive, newer residents of New Pasture. The quarry contains some stone and is a possible area of future expansion for the mod.

Stoffton (the town)

Stoffton is a large town north of New Pasture and can be reached by bus after the bus is repaired. (Stoffton can also be reached by walking if Fostoria has been installed.) The textile mill on the northern edge of Stoffton drives most of the commerce in the area; however, the town includes a variety of shops and other areas to explore. At the center of Stoffton is a large Temple of Yoba where almost all of the residents gather each Sunday. The town also boasts a respectable school building where children (and adults) of all ages are instructed in a variety of subjects.

East Main Street & the Town Gardens	The main street of Stoffton runs along the southern edge of town. To the east are the town gardens where you can often find residents enjoying the outdoors. From left to right, the buildings include a grocery store with apartments for rent upstairs, a fish shop, a gem store, a package liquor store, and a blacksmith. Several marriage candidates make their homes in the eastern main street buildings. Note: The fish shop is occupied by Remmington if you have Fostoria and Stoffton installed.
West Main Street	The western side of Stoffton's main street is where the bus arrives (after it has been repaired). From left to right, the buildings include, a locked building (currently not in use), an unoccupied building (currently for rent), a pickle shop, a clothing store, the Sugardrop Café and Bakery with a boarding house upstairs (accessed by the middle door), and a flower shop. A few marriage candidates live in the western main street buildings.
Stoffton Academy	On the western side of town, about midway on the map, is the Stoffton Academy. The youngest residents can be found here either indoors or on the playground on most week days, but other residents, including some marriage candidates also use the building for their studies. Don't miss the aquarium inside the academy where special lectures are given each Friday!
Stoffton Temple of Yoba	Stoffton is home to a large Temple of Yoba in the central part of town. In fact, the building is so large that it can hold the entire population. Most of the town can be found in the temple on Sundays.
Northeastern Stoffton	While most of the residents of Stoffton live in apartments above the stores on main street, one family lives in the northeastern section of Stoffton in a detached Victorian-style house with a nearby hedge maze. The owner of this house is Gerhard Schafer who grew up in New Pasture on the Schafer Farm, but who, as a younger man, rebuilt the textile mill and revitalized the entire town. He and his family now live in the home and maintain the hedges that make up the maze. Some of the older Schafers who live here are marriage candidates.
The Textile Mill	The Stoffton Textile Mill is at the northern edge of the map, near the center. The mill was an important building many years ago, but it fell into disrepair until about thirty years ago when Gerhard Schafer decided to rebuild it in an effort to improve Stoffton. The mill currently employs many of the younger, unmarried residents of Stoffton and has drawn people from many different regions with its promise of gainful employment. Outside the mill are berry bushes that grew from seeds dropped by employees over the years. The entire town of Stoffton is partial to the salmonberries and blackberries that grow here in season.
Northwestern Stoffton	In the northwestern region of Stoffton are the oldest buildings in town, dating back to the original settlement which was much smaller, although it did include a textile mill. These buildings are in a genteel state of disrepair, but are not completely unoccupied. The buildings on either end of the row are locked, but the central building is home to Al and his son Will. Will is a marriage candidate.
