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 and 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 flexible. Two non-marriage candidates (Mac and Yosef) can be changed to marriage candidates using the config.json file and two marriage candidates (Dahlia and Josef) can become non-marriage candidates based upon your choices in the game.

Stoffton can be found on Nexus Mods here.

Locations

Stoffton has two large areas for you to explore. The Stoffton map includes the town proper, and the Rocky Ford map contains a rural area south of town (between Fostoria and Stoffton, if you have Fostoria installed).

Rocky Ford (the rural map)

Rocky Ford is primarily home to the Schafer family. While much 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 Ranch which has grown over the years to include several additional farmhouses, barns, coops, and pastures.

[spoilers]

Name	Options	Story
Dahlia	Player's choices in game	You can choose to befriend and marry Dahlia, if you wish. However, if you do not marry her, you can play a storyline that allows you to encourage a relationship between Dahlia and Mac. By default, Mac is not a marriage candidate, and as you befriend him, he will rebuild the abandoned Vogel farmhouse in Rocky Ford and, eventually, propose to Dahlia. After a marriage ceremony in the Temple of Yoba, the two will then move into the refinished Vogel house (next to Mac's chicken coop) to continue a life together.
Josef	Player's choices in game	You can choose to befriend and marry Josef, if you wish. However, if you do not marry him, you can play a storyline that allows you to encourage Josef to return to his engineering career while continuing to live in Stoffton. Josef will renovate (and move to) the original Schafer house (on the northern edge of Rocky Ford near the entrance to Stoffton). Note: You have two opportunities to encourage Josef to renovate the house and continue his dreams: Josef's eight-heart and ten-heart events.
Mac	Edit config.json file	By default, Mac is not a marriage candidate. This allows him to eventually rebuild the abandoned Vogel farmhouse in Rocky Ford and propose marriage to Dahlia. However, you can change this setting to make Mac a marriage candidate. If you change the setting, Mac will not renovate the house and you will not see the proposal or marriage heart events (for Mac and Dahlia).
Yosef	Edit config.json file	By default, Yosef is not a marriage candidate. This allows him to renovate one of the derelict buildings in the older part of Stoffton (northwest) and open "The Bolt" a gathering place for the town, open in the afternoon and evenings. If you change the setting, Yosef will become a marriage candidate, but he will not renovate the building or open "The Bolt".

Non-Marriage Candidates

Stoffton and Rocky Ford hold an additional twenty-five people for you to befriend. Some of the residents have lived in the area their entire lives and some have relocated to the community. The residents range in age from very, very young to very, very wise.
