When it comes to farming simulators, Stardew Valley stands tall, offering a variety of incredible features. Whether it's farming, foraging, mining, or building relationships with villagers, this game has it all. The gameplay begins during Spring, and players need to take care of their farm and cultivate crops.
However, despite having a lot of interactive features, there is no straightforward option to change the player's name in Stardew Valley. This notable drawback poses significant issues for players, potentially leading them to contemplate starting anew. Luckily, there is a way to change the name, although it requires following a few steps.
How to Change Your Name in Stardew Valley
Prior to initiating a new game and starting their journey in Stardew Valley's Pelican Town, players need to choose a name for the main character and their farm. Needless to say, that name will be used throughout the campaign and during interactions with villagers. The names in Stardew Valley, whether for the main character, farm, or pets, hold importance. However, if players have a change of heart and want to change it later, there's one way to do so.
To change the main character's name or appearance, players need to get their hands on the Shrine of Illusion, placed in the basement of Wizard's Tower. However, it requires players to unlock the basement of Wizard's Tower first. Here's how players can unlock the basement and interact with the Shrine of Illusion statue in the game.
- Foster a stronger bond with the Wizard with the help of gifts, quests, and talking to him.
- The basement will be unlocked once players establish a 4 heart relationship with the Wizard.
- Head to the basement and look for a Golden Monster Statue.
- Players can instantly edit their name and appearance upon interacting with the Shrine of Illusion.
Players can use this method to change their names as many times as they want to. However, the changes will take effect from the next in-game day.
