Sun Haven is already a charming, expansive farming RPG, but let’s be honest—some of the grindier parts can make the experience more tedious than magical. Thankfully, the modding community on Nexus Mods has come through with a suite of quality of life improvements that polish the gameplay without turning it into a cheat-fest. Whether you’re tired of manually watering crops or constantly missing NPC dates, these mods will make your time in Sun Haven smoother, faster, and way more fun.
1. Farm Status by TheSadCactus
If you’ve ever found yourself forgetting what you planted or how many days are left until harvest, Farm Status is your new best friend. It adds a farm panel to your UI (accessible from your inventory), listing every crop on your farm along with its type and time left to maturity. No more clicking every plant or trying to match sprites—this saves time and reduces guesswork.
Bonus: Future updates may include tracking crafting stations and animal stats.
2. No More Deadlines by DevOpsDinosaur
One of the most freeing mods you can install. Say goodbye to missed quests and awkwardly skipping dates with NPCs. This mod removes expiration dates from all quests, including romantic events. It’s a one-liner mod that adds tremendous flexibility.
- Works even with ongoing saves
- Disabling the mod will re-enable expiration for future loads
Perfect for distracted or casual players who don’t want their play sessions dictated by a clock.
3. Sprinklers by MortyJD
Yes, finally—sprinklers. A sorely missed feature in vanilla Sun Haven, this mod brings them back in four magical tiers:
- Small Sprinkler: Range 1 (crafted with gold bars + water crystal)
- Large Sun Haven Sprinkler: Range 2 (sunite bars + havenknite)
- Nel’Vari Sprinkler: Range 3 (enchanted mithril + water rune)
- Withergate Sprinkler: Range 4 (enhanced mithril + refined glass)
Craftable at lore-appropriate anvils, these sprinklers work overnight and visually preview their range. Fully compatible with any farm.
4. No Time for Fishing by Pixelated
Hate fishing? This mod turns it into a breeze. You can toggle features like:
- Instant fish bite
- Auto-reel
- No minigame
- Increased cast distance
- Faster fish swim speeds
- Rare fish and museum item boost
Everything is customizable via the F1 menu (requires Config Manager). Whether you just want to speed up fishing or skip it entirely, this mod gives you options.
5. Consolidated Crafting by DevOpsDinosaur
Jumping from one crafting station to another is now a thing of the past. With this mod, all your stations become interconnected. Use a dropdown menu to switch between different machines from a single interface—no more sprinting across your farm.
- Works for cooking, crafting, and more
- Seamlessly integrated and highly efficient
6. Enhanced Pets by Kryik
Tired of accidentally picking up or petting your leash pets every time you walk past? Enhanced Pets makes it so:
- Pets can’t be picked up unless the leash is in your hotbar
- You can pet free-roaming pets without stopping in place
Small change, big relief for anyone who loves Sun Haven’s adorable companions.
7. Auto Tools by Pixelated
Let your game handle the tool switching. Auto Tools detects the action you’re performing (e.g., hoeing, chopping, fishing) and automatically switches to the best tool in your action bar.
- Prioritizes highest-level usable tool
- Watering can prioritizes filled cans
- Can be toggled off per tool
- Auto-switching disabled during combat
Configurable and smart—but may require tuning for optimal use.
8. Automatic Museum by Rx4Byte
The Sun Haven museum is impressive—but navigating it is a pain. This mod auto-donates eligible items as soon as you enter a room.
- Works per room (not entire museum at once)
- No more guessing which item belongs where
- Great accessibility improvement for all players
9. Quick Mount by MortyJD
Mounting and dismounting shouldn’t be a chore. This mod lets you mount instantly using a hotkey (default: Left Shift), as long as you have a mount whistle in your inventory or hotbar.
- Saves time during farming loops
- Especially helpful before you unlock tool usage while mounted
10. Continue Button by DevOpsDinosaur
A small but incredibly handy tweak. Adds a “Continue” button to the main menu that loads your last save instantly.
- Saves clicks
- Only works in single-player
It’s the kind of thing you’ll wonder how you lived without.
11. Better Backup Saves by MortyJD
This mod automatically creates a backup every time you sleep or pass out. It stores up to 30 days of backups (configurable), completely separate from the game’s default save system.
- Keeps your files safe from mod corruption
- Restore instructions included on the mod page
If you plan on modding at all, install this first. You’ll thank yourself later.
