Stardew Valley creator Eric Baron is working harder on spooky chocolate (opens in new tab) than new farms. And this time they've made the wizard hotter.

Slightly.

Slightly Hotter Wizard (opens in new tab) dropped on Nexus Mods earlier this week. You can customize your facial hair and color palette, so if you've ever gone to the wizard's tower with pizza and cherries and tried to patch things up with him and thought, "Why is this guy 3% less hot?" this mod has got you covered.

Of course, this is a matter of taste. For some, the Slightly Hotter Wizard is actually the Slightly Less Hot Wizard. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder of this wizard.

While we wait for further entries into the genre like Witchbrook (opens in new tab), it might be fun to dive into the swirling vortex of mods to find new ways to spice things up in Stardew Valley. Whether it's adding tons of new content like independently created DLC, hiring robot minions to manage your farm, or visiting aquariums in addition to the usual places, the mod community has you covered.

And if your thirst for attractive sprite people extends beyond the special prestidigitators to the entire population of Stardew, you may want to try the mod that inspired Slightly Hotter Wizard, Seasonal Outfits - Slightly Cuter Aesthetic (opens in a new tab) can be checked out. Then be sure to join in the eternal debate (opens in new tab) about whether or not he is Abigail's father (he definitely is).
