Fashion Sense Buffs

Automatically applies buffs when you wear a mapped Fashion Sense outfit. Outfit-to-buff mappings are configurable in assets/outfits.json or via Content Patcher packs from other mods.

A common use case is pairing weather-themed outfits with protection buffs from Project Danger Weather (or any mod that adds entries to Data/Buffs).

Requirements

Mod	Required
SMAPI 4.0+	Yes
Fashion Sense	Yes
Content Patcher	No (only needed for CP packs)
Generic Mod Config Menu	No (optional in-game settings UI)

Installation

1. Install SMAPI and Fashion Sense.
2. Download Fashion Sense Buffs and unzip it into your Stardew Valley Mods folder.
3. Launch the game once with SMAPI. The mod creates a config file at Mods/FashionSenseBuffs/config.json.

To use pre-made mappings, also install a Content Patcher pack from the examples/ folder (see Examples).

How it works

When your active Fashion Sense outfit changes, the mod looks up that outfit's ID in its outfit data and applies the listed buffs. Switching to an unmapped outfit (or clearing your outfit) removes any buffs this mod applied.

• Mappings reload when a save is loaded and each morning, so Content Patcher conditions (season, weather, flags, etc.) stay in sync.
• Outfit IDs are matched case-insensitively.
• Unknown buff IDs are skipped with a SMAPI warning.

Configuration

In-game (Generic Mod Config Menu)

If GMCM is installed, open Mod Options → Fashion Sense Buffs to:

• Toggle outfit buffs on or off (disabling immediately removes active buffs).
• View all currently loaded outfit → buff mappings.

assets/outfits.json

Edit Mods/FashionSenseBuffs/assets/outfits.json to add mappings directly:

{
    "WinterCoat": {
        "BuffIds": ["PDWKittyMuffs"]
    },
    "FullRainGear": {
        "BuffIds": ["PDWShader", "PDWMask"],
        "RemoveBuffIds": ["Firerain", "SmoggySinging1"]
    }
}

Each key is a Fashion Sense outfit ID (not the display name). Each entry's BuffIds array lists buff IDs to apply from Data/Buffs. Optionally, RemoveBuffIds lists debuffs (or any buff IDs) to strip while the outfit is active.

Built-in data loads at low priority, so Content Patcher EditData patches always override these entries.

Content Patcher

Other mods can patch the shared asset hierocles.FashionSenseBuffs/Outfits with EditData. See the full guide in docs/content-patcher-guide.md for data format, conditional patches, removing entries, and manifest templates.

Minimal example:

{
    "Format": "2.4.0",
    "Changes": [
        {
            "Action": "EditData",
            "Target": "hierocles.FashionSenseBuffs/Outfits",
            "Entries": {
                "MyOutfitId": {
                    "BuffIds": ["MyMod.MyBuff"]
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

Finding outfit IDs

The outfit ID is Fashion Sense's internal name, not the label shown in the outfit picker.

1. SMAPI trace log — With SMAPI debug logging enabled, switch outfits in-game. When a mapped buff is applied, the log shows the outfit ID:

   [Fashion Sense Buffs] Applied buff 'PDWKittyMuffs' for outfit 'WinterCoat'.
   

2. Fashion Sense content packs — Check the keys in that pack's preset_outfits.json or Outfits data asset.

Examples

The examples/ folder contains sample Content Patcher packs and helper scripts:

Path	Description
examples/[CP] PDW Outfit Buffs/	Maps Fern Preset / Farmer 2.0 ESWF PDW outfits (27 outdoor names including seasonal variants) to PDW protection buffs. Requires kath.weathering. Based on Fern Farmer 2.0 Preset by Dexnis.

Copy a [CP] folder into your Mods directory to use it as a standalone pack.

Building from source

Requires .NET 6 SDK and a local Fashion Sense DLL reference at reference/Fashion Sense/FashionSense/FashionSense.dll (copy from your installed Fashion Sense mod).

dotnet build

SMAPI's mod build config copies the output to your game's Mods folder when EnableModDeploy is configured, or you can copy bin/Debug/net6.0/ manually.

Versioning and releases

• Use Semantic Versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH).
• Write commit messages using Conventional Commits (for example, feat:, fix:, docs:).
• Bump <Version> in FashionSenseBuffs.csproj before publishing; manifest.json reads it via %ProjectVersion%.
• When ready to publish a release, push a new tag vx.y.z (for example, v1.0.0). That triggers the release workflow, which builds the mod and creates a GitHub release.

git tag v1.0.0
git push origin v1.0.0
