Lurking in the Dark - NPC Sen (East Scarp)

Sen is a shadow guy that came from deep within the valley's mines. He was always told by his elders that the surface world was a brutal and unfriendly place, but he wondered if that was the full truth. Looking for answers, he ventured to the surface.

Upon reaching the surface, Sen met Krobus who helped him find a place to stay. He settled himself at home in the deep dark cave below the East Scarp inn, spending much of his time making costumes out of trash. He would wear these costumes to various events in the town so he could get a closer look at human life. However, his understanding only began to change once he met a certain human face to face.

• A fully fleshed out storyline that takes place across 9 events.
• A randomized schedule to match his sneakiness.
• A secret forage spawn if you complete his 14h event.
• Dynamic randomized dialogue, you won't see many repeats!
• Fun costumes for every festival!
• Can be a roommate or marriage candidate after completing the storyline.

Is this mod compatible with SVE?

• Yes! There is built in compatibility for SVE. (SDV 1.5.6)
• Yes! Please report any schedule/festival errors you find! (SDV 1.6)
  

I can't find Sen!

• If you just installed him, you need to first visit the mine to unlock him.
• Otherwise he's around... Lurking in the Dark somewhere.
  

Sen won't marry/room with me!

• You need to complete his entire story up to the epilogue to unlock that feature.
• If you choose the platonic option in the story he requires a void ghost pendant.
• If he still refuses to room/date, try reloading your save.
  

Sen won't marry/room with me - also I'm a farmhand in multiplayer!

• If you are playing multiplayer and are a farmhand, the host player must finish the story first.
• Be sure the host picks your desired option (romance / platonic)
• This is a game limitation, unfortunately.
  

I'm experiencing a marriage/roommate issue and I have PolyamorySweet/Free Love installed.

• PolyamorySweet/Free Love is a mod that fundamentally changes the game's relationship mechanics.
• It provides no configuration options for NPC developers, and it does not appear any will be added.
• As such, if you have this mod installed, troubleshooting regarding relationship bugs will not be provided.
  

Can I translate him?

• Of course! Just don't reupload my mod. He has an i18n file.
  

Is this mod mobile compatible?

• Only in the 1.5.6 legacy version.
• I don't have SDV mobile so I can't provide support.
  

Can I make a portrait replacement mod?

• I'd prefer if you asked me first, but the answer will typically be yes!
• AI portraits, however, are prohibited.

I want to give a special thanks to LemurKat, the East Scarp community and all of the friends I've made there! Without them, Sen would never have been completed. So I implore you, please go onto East Scarp's main page and check out everyone's projects! I would also like to give an extra special thanks to TheLoreSeekerwho was always so kind, supportive and funny. He was a wonderful friend and will be deeply missed.
