Summary
Stardew Valley has many mods that can drastically affect how the game is played and make the players' lives significantly more convenient. One of the most consistent money-making methods in Stardew Valley is ranching or raising animals. While profitable, taking care of the animals can be quite a chore. With the better ranching mod installed, numerous improvements are made to the base ranching system, such as preventing milking/shearing attempts from failing.
