Stardew Valley gets an Animal Crossing-style aquarium with this mod
https://www.pcgamer.com/stardew-valley-gets-a-animal-crossing-style-aquarium-with-this-mod/
One thing I love about Stardew Valley is the never-ending collect-a-thon of objects to get and lists to complete. It's something that the life-sim genre goes incredibly well, and one modder has added even more tasks with their Animal Crossing-inspired aquarium mod.
The Stardew Aquarium mod adds an aquarium to the Stardew universe where you can donate fish to fill its empty exhibitions. Every time you donate a fish at the front desk, it will appear in one of the aquarium's many themed rooms and in return, you'll receive prizes every time you donate a certain number of times. The mod even has animations for each fish, so when you explore the aquarium you can see them swimming around happily in their new home.
Update: It was previously stated that the Stardew aquarium mod was made by one person when it actually has been created by a whole team. For a full list of the modders and contributors, check out the credits section listed at the bottom of the mod's page over on Nexus mods.
