# Nature In The Valley As A Framework

Nature In The Valley is a mod, yes, but it is also - and foremost - a framework. It is made to be the all in one solution for mods which are wanting to add wildlife and / or other dynamic \*things\* around the valley. Before we get into how you can do things, lets first quickly go through \*what\* you can do.\
\
\
\- Add an animal to the game which chases the player\
\- Add seasonal forgeables to trees, the water, bushes, stumps.\
\- Make creatures which spawn when the player shakes a trash can, eats food, or destroys a tree\
\- Make variants of existing creatures\
\- Add creatures which only spawn after the player finishes the community center, or when they are only at low health.\
\- Add new rewards for creatures, existing or new!\
\- Change the sprite of an existing creature\
\- So so so so so so much more

In the optional files section on the mod page you can find 3 example packs!&#x20;
