You will also have the option to install Grampleton Fields, which is a large farmable area located east of Shearwater Bridge.
Updating/Reinstalling
When updating/reinstalling Stardew Valley Expanded, it is critical to delete any existing versions before placing the new files in your Mods folder. Deleting older versions will not harm your save files. Follow the same steps as for a first-time installation.

If adding Stardew Valley Expanded for the first time to an existing save (not recommended for storyline reasons), you will need to take additional steps.
- Download and install Reset Terrain Features. See the mod page for instructions on how to open the menu. You will need to reset all trees, bushes, and terrain features. If you don't, terrain features will be out of sync and won't make sense.
- Download and install Noclip Mode, which could be needed to access areas made inaccessible by the changes.
- Optionally, download and install CJB Cheats and CJB Item Spawner, which can be used to pause time and manually place grass starters, respectively.
