-
Do I need a new save?
Nope, older saves will update automatically and all new content is available without starting a new save (including the new heart events).If you want to use the new 'four corners' farm type on console, you'll need a new save. On PC you can migrate an older save with save editing and temporary mods.
When will it release on mobile?
A mobile release is tentatively expected in January, but there's no definitive date yet. The goal is to release the update to Android and iOS simultaneously.Do item spawn codes still work?
They work on PC, but not on console. They were remove on consoles in 1.3 due to certification requirements from Microsoft/Nintendo/Sony, but they'll continue working on PC which doesn't need external certification.

PC modding FAQs
Do SMAPI mods still work?
Yep. SMAPI 3.0 supports Stardew Valley 1.4, and SMAPI mods are quickly getting updated. See the mod compatibility list for mod updates.Do Content Patcher packs still work?
Yep, though some content packs may need an update. If you notice a content pack causing in-game issues, report it here so we can add it to SMAPI's compatibility blacklist.-
Do XNB mods still work?
XNB mods (which replace the game's*.xnbfiles directly) have been deprecated for years. Many XNB mods will remove data/texture changes in 1.4, leading to a variety of issues including invisible/glitched textures, missing events, broken items, and crashes. We strongly recommend removing all XNB mods and replacing them with content packs.If you want to keep them anyway, check this list of changed XNB files. XNB mods which change one of those files should be avoided.
