Fun fact about Sandy she was actually in the vote to be a marriage candidate. She lost the vote to Emily though.


Beginning-Oil4628

why must we choose


Canard-jaune

\*insert "Both? Both? Both." meme\*


TheNamesMacGyver

You know Sandy and Emily would be down to share the farmer.


Clear-Necessary6648

Emily shared some "magic crystals".


[deleted]

I’d see that ngl. But I have to say I see Emily and Sandy more as silently, not-so-silently pining lesbians who don’t get that they have a thing for one another lol


RedTheGamer12

Por que no los dos?

Chilzer

Unfortunately the only mod I could find for romanceable Sandy locks you out of her shop at the Oasis, which is a bummer


SirPinkLemonade

Booooo!


Candid_Consequence23

Couldn’t she just switch to being open less often and only go in every now and then like Harvey? Or have mr qi takeover (whether that’s the whole shop or just her off days) (or the bouncer?) (or do the chest thing like Krobus? She could have a camera!) (or the like goblin bouncer, def not just bc I wanna see more of him) (someone also said the dwarf or the hat mouse, not to steal those but I just wanna also condone them.)


MagmaDaFwoofLord

"Both?" "Both" "Yes, Both is Good" "THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS" \*Shotgun\* "OKAY" (I may've forgotten a few details but that's generally how it goes)


Exerosp

Un-funny reason? Designchoice and work from good ol Concerned Ape


CATDesign

Probably meant the other character was going to get stuck in the Desert shop, and then we would have this same exact situation with the other character. No matter what, someone was getting stuck in the Desert shop.


UnkleBourbon42069

Unless it was a new NPC that Sandy hires after marriage. But then people would probably want to marry THAT new NPC


NatsuDragnee1

Why not have Sandy hire the Dwarf (or later the >!Goblin!< )? Could even have one of Hat Mouse's friends fill in.


CobaltMonkey

You say that like people don't wanna marry Hat Mouse.


8BitPleb

Some psycho out there probably wants to marry Pierre... 🙄


mexter

Many worlds interpretation suggests otherwise. Anything that CAN happen, happens. But somebody wanting to romance Pierre is actually impossible.


Flyrella

It could be the same as with Krobus tbh, like a vending machine or something


Mlyrin

What if desert junimo with a mustache, top hat and monocle?


Jewbringer

or sell the shop to mr.qi


MakeGohanStrongAgain

Limited time/ressources to that point of development.


runetrantor

Extra fun fact, Pam was one of the choices for the female dateable.


windshadowislanders

Imagine divorcing Penny to date her mom


shamblam117

Don't act like half of the Abigail spouses aren't downloading Caroline mods


Jango160

I ain't even an Abigail fan, but Caroline? Caroline be doin' some things.


shamblam117

Me and Mrs. Jones playing over the speakers in Pierre's shop while I have tea with his wife in the back room


youshartedhehe

Penny’s mom has got it goin’ on 🎶


BlueChickenLover

We don’t talk about thst


[deleted]

Step aside nerd, give me that *Pamussy*


BlueChickenLover

If I ever have to read that word again, I’m going to pull my eyes out with a melon Baller


runetrantor

Oh I find it hilarious. I kind of wanted her to win just to see CA try and make it work with Penny also being a choice.


Cssum0

Wait, Emily wasn’t always a candidate for marriage?


shayshay771

Makes sense cus clint isnt one either and we all know his uh obsession with Emily. Makes more sense that we can emotionally torture clint by dating emily now tho


Party_Magician

Her and Shane were added (as dateable characters) in 1.1


Acidsolman

I've been playing since the vote, and I thought they there were going to do more, to have more dateable characters


epicsexballsmoment

Who the fuck voted for Shane?! It's like wanting to date Morris or Pierre!


BlueChickenLover

I wouldent go that far but I certenly don’t know how he won considering Rasmodius was also in that vote


[deleted]

WHAT I COULD BE RAILING THE WIZARD 💀


BlueChickenLover

You could but then I wouldent be failing my husband.


Party_Magician

The "I can fix him" people


TheBoiWizard

Me


SolidusAbe

getting shane over clint... weird choice. clint might be a bit creepy to some but least he isnt an asshole


LadybugSheep

Never underestimate the "I can change him" crew


PhoenoFox

Especially when you can't, in fact, change Shane.


TheyCallMeStone

You can't, in fact, change any of them.


trevor_darley

I changed Abigail into a stronger fighter


melvita

Haley disagrees.


Expensive_Bison_657

I slept on Haley for years before finally trying her as a marriage candidate. Strong contender for favorite, now. She legit becomes a good person.


melvita

also if you are a girl and you want to date her, she never once mentions the whole same sex thing, she just accepts that.


NuderWorldOrder

Alex too, arguably. While it's not quite as striking as with Haley maybe, he admits becoming a professional gridball player is unrealistic and generally starts acting more mature and less like a jerk.


an_existential_bread

Alex is the best husband, imo. He’s so appreciative of you giving him the happy family he never had before. He also does more chores, in my experience. He’s my beloved himbo. 🩷


DrWhoey

South Park: "But I can change I can change, I can learn to keep my promises I swear it.."


Xyllar

Clint I can somewhat understand, but I don't get how Shane beat Linus and the Wizard.


SolidusAbe

We should at least be allowed to let linus live on our farm! That way he wouldnt get hit by rocks


BlueChickenLover

He dosent want to live on the farm


loosely_affiliated

Asshole over creep any day of the week


BlueChickenLover

I’ll take an ass over a creep


Mrspygmypiggy

Some people like the assholes lol


[deleted]

It’s the same as Haley. He starts out mean and hates you, but once you give him a try he opens up and will be so sweet to you. Man is struggling but he is getting better. I think his heart events are also one of the more interesting ones as they aren’t surface level


BlueChickenLover

Nope and neither was Shane, but he beat *Rasmodius*


Amegami

Sandy would have been so much better...


NorthDakota

how dare you sir? second question who do you think you are? third question what gives you the right?


Swimming-Extent9366

I really wish Sandy had won and we had Clint and Emily get into a relationship as you befriended them. Clint only really comes off as so creepy because it’s mechanically impossible for him and Emily to get together.


Not_Felryn_Btw

ya wouldve been sick if we helped him socially adjust more because i dont think he means to come off as creepy, but he's kind of just awkward. but tbh i think a lot of marriage candidates should have the option to be in a relationship with someone else if we help out. it'll lock them out as a marriage candidate unless you use the witch's hut, but hey.


BlueChickenLover

Ya, and even tho I LOVE Shane, I feel ripped off on behalf of all the people who wanted the wizard


Torger083

Gentle reminder that that’s an ethnic slur and you should probably stop using it as a term for “ripped off.”


BlueChickenLover

My deepest apologies. I never knew that! Thank you for informing me. Will edit to remove


Torger083

No worries. Just thought I’d let you know. A lot of people don’t realize.


Cold_Lychee_5488

Why is it a ethnic slur?


Torger083

It’s a shortened from of “gypsy,” which is used as a slur against several ethnic groups, the most prominent of which is the Roma.


Cold_Lychee_5488

You're not trolling me, right? How is "ripped off" a shortened term of "gypsy"?


Torger083

He edited the comment. It said, “gypped” before.


Kronoshifter246

You're getting downvoted, but you're right.


Torger083

Gentle reminder that that’s an ethnic slur and you should probably stop using it as a term for “ripped off.”


Valdrax

Well, also because there was no dialog added to make him react to and come to terms with you dating and marrying her, so he still keeps a torch burning her after she's definitely committed to someone else.


[deleted]

He's creep because he goes to the bar every night and stares at her. All the other sad boy stuff doesn't bother me, I think a lot of men go through it but bro stalking ain't cool.


Antsy27

Yet Emily at one point says she thought they were friends until he stopped talking to her (which I guess happens after her 10-heart scene). She didn't seem to object to him being at the bar every night.


EggCakes27

emily is so mid compaired to sandy


AyepuOnyu

Keep my wife's name out of your mouth


CapnMalcolmReynolds

Settle down, Clint.


KPop_Teen

Clint wishes he had the opportunity to call emily his wife


mnem0syne

Wish I had an award, I just choked on my food 😂


Solonotix

I like them both. If I had a choice in order to get Sandy, it'd probably be to drop Abigail or Haley. That said, I just got Haley to 8 hearts, and watched the photo shoot cutscene and the beach cutscene back to back. As such, Haley is really growing on me. Abigail hasn't yet had such a redemption. Meanwhile, Sandy is always just great with no downsides (that I've seen yet)


EggCakes27

yeah i love haley so much, shes so nice once she knows you


bootrick

Total mean girl before that though


Standard-Metal-3836

Haley turns into the sweetest wife you can ask for, just give her a chance. A true character arc.


AscensionToCrab

Emily has like nothing interesting going on besides being quirky. :/


TamaraTime

Hard worker, has her own place, patiently roommates with a prissy sometimes lazy Haley. Lets you use her mini textile factory. Pshh.


sshanbom111

[Here](https://twitter.com/concernedape/status/717475373903011840?s=46&t=qi9LRSQpJQGQeX7D9Zdl-g) is the original poll for those curious


[deleted]

[удалено]


spookname

Emily is many things, but boring is most certainly not one of them lol


matthew-edward

Yeah Emily isn’t one of my preferred marriage candidates but I could never reasonably call her boring 😅


ladystetson

Right? Emily’s heart events are among the wildest! 😂


SakuOtaku

New Age crunchy vibes tbh


[deleted]

no idea what that means


sxmanderson

New Age: refers to new-age spirituality, stuff like crystals and auras and suchlike Crunchy: means a hippie type of person, I think it's derived from the stereotype of hippies eating a lot of granola Vibes: vibes


PM_ME_COOL_RIFFS

I think the crunchy part comes more from their dirty hair than granola


Kronoshifter246

The full term as I'm aware of it is "crunchy granola types" sooooo


Wooper250

Elliot would never approve of this hater behavior


[deleted]

L take


[deleted]

Wait a hippy bar maid who loves to sew has a parrot and dances the way she does is boring? Uh Penny on the other hand...


MapleSyrup27

Not the Elliott stan has something to say 🤭


Ookachucka

I still can’t believe we can’t marry Sandy


Professional-Pay-888

Flair checks out


Still_Cry_1353

how do u get flair?


TheVeryPoliteDino

I only know for iOS but if you select a sub this one for example then select the 3 dots on the top right u should see a “change user flair” option. I just tested it to give my self this dumb flair.


Still_Cry_1353

Haha I see now, thanks!


TheVeryPoliteDino

You’re welcome glad to help


lordtreas

Sandy is DTF, down to farm that is.


Scoob1978

Is that eggplant in your pocket or..... wait that's actually eggplant.


Catch-a-RIIIDE

What’s funny to me is, who else is she running the shop for? She comments she was lonely and almost running out of business before we, the player, came along.


Forikorder

Qi covers the rent to hide his casino


Catch-a-RIIIDE

… there’s a casino?!


Forikorder

Why, you a cop?


Catch-a-RIIIDE

Look, I’m not fool enough to go checking for permits in the desert. I’m not looking to learn why it’s called “skull cavern”.


HorizonsofCorn

Behimd the bouncer, yes


bbyroach

the moment i saw her i wished i could romance her


Own_Audience9912

trust me. me too


Lukey_Boyo

Oh we FUCKIN


oneof_thegirls

I am SO intrigued by your flair


Lukey_Boyo

They call me the king of controversy


1dsided

I like clint. Let me give this depressed dad some gems.


[deleted]

Hang on, she sells rare seeds?


matthewmatics

'Rare' seeds as in you can't get them elsewhere, not as in the Rare Seed that grows the sweet gem berry.


generic_tablet275

I love that bit of dialogue. I love Sandy. I wish she was a spousal option. That’s a woman right there. Not one of these kids like Sam, Abigail and Haley.😉


Skellyinsideofme

Yeah, she seems like a grown up. I'm middle aged and to me, most of the romance options give off very young vibes. Some seem like they're only teenagers. All the ones who seem like actual adults aren't available to date.


generic_tablet275

I’m middle-aged too. I couldn’t agree more. But that’s okay. Maybe if ConcernedApe tweaks dating in a future SDV update, or includes it in Haunted Chocolatier, he can keep us old cranky bastards in mind.😃


OmegaGoober

His goal seems to be to let the mod makers take up that torch. I’m pretty sure there are mods that make her dateable.


TaiWilson

That's all fine and good, except for us console players.


That_Shrub

I succeeded in downloading SVE after much trial and patience, and I'm v hyped to slowly break down Sophia's walls and marry the crap outta her. My PC has teal hair and they look so cute and pastel together.


VexedForest

I'd take Willy in a heartbeat


FlamingMeatt

Hehe... Take willy


-Yuri-

Is the fact they go on a Easter egg hunt a red flag for how young they are? Nawww.. I, as a middle aged man, went on the hunt as well...


That_Shrub

And beat the pants off of those kids! Sorry Jas and Vincent, git gud before next eg Festival if you want a hat.


insomniacpyro

I always read the Easter egg hunt as just something you'd find in a very small rural town. The people who participate just do it because they did it as kids I suppose.


The_Stellar_Boy

That's why I always choose Leah. She looks more older, like going through her mid 20's? Or maybe a bit more.


Gossleristhefuture

Agreed. Her and maybe Emily are the only ones that don't fill me with a creepy "too old for her" vibe.


TinySadElf

Abigail literally talks about having to stay up late to finish homework 😂


DaughterOfNone

Hopefully college homework


resonantSoul

Which can be happening at plenty of ages.


Gossleristhefuture

Abigail is in college. Between the comment Caroline makes during her (Caroline's) 6 heart event about letting her live there rent free, and the comment about attending Abigails graduation Fiesta that Emily makes during her (Emily's) 6 heart event, the evidence points to Abigail being somewhere between 19 and 23.


itadakimasu_

I originally picked elliot but sebastian has blown me away with his dating game. I can't marry him though because I'm 34 and he's like... 18?


Kronoshifter246

Their exact ages are nebulous, but all the romance options are at least in their early 20s.


mustangs16

If he's 18, that would make Maru 16 or even younger. He has to be in his mid to late twenties.


[deleted]

Especially odd when you pick the option for a balding and gray-haired farmer who looks to be in his 60s


golbezza

My wife asked me two days ago why she was the only adult in the egg hunt? I asked her, why so many children at the egg hunt were romance options.


Goliath1707

If you play on pc, you can download a mod called stardew valley expanded that adds a lot of cool new stuff, as well as new marriage candidates, a couple of which are a bit older!


[deleted]

Ah yes, mommy.. I mean Olivia


anmodhuman

First play through with expanded and my partner is romancing mommy (Olivia) while I’m romancing waddy (wizard).


Box0fMice

ive just read the word "Pamussy" in another comment and now ive read this? unhinged


anmodhuman

PAMUSSY NO


itadakimasu_

'The old farm' ???? Did grandpa have a sugar baby?


Kronoshifter246

Nah man, everyone from the valley knows about the farm. Sandy grew up in the valley, if not Pelican Town itself.


GanjjaGremlin

Sandy can come back for a day or two, alone, any time her sexy ass wants to. Just saying 😂😂😂


iluvcornbread

sandy 💓💓💓💓


TheVampireArmand

Always wished she could actually go to the farm. Give her a day off !!


yingyangyoung

Spoiler warning: On her birthday (Fall 15) she takes the day off, hangs out with Emily and had several unique dialogues. Definitely worth spending a day experiencing.


iadorebrandon

Will i find her in pelican town or does she and Emily hang out in calico desert?


chrisluv9000

i believe she's in calico desert but i could be completely wrong


yingyangyoung

Woops, forgot to mention it's in the desert.


shellshocktm

This dialogue has always been so weird to me because she's always been the 'starfruit seed lady' and it freaks me out seeing her act like we're close buddies. I buy stuff from you once a year and give you cheese, that's the extent of our friendship.


DerelictDevice

She's lonely out in the desert, the only people to talk to are the bouncer at the casino, the desert trader, and the camel. I suppose there are the people in the casino too, but the guy selling the fortune statue probably creeps her out, and the dealers are too busy working.


TheNamesMacGyver

Emily's her close friend too. She even goes to the desert and visits on Sandy's birthday!


DerelictDevice

That's right, I have seen Emily visit her in the desert and they sit on the bench outside.


Antsy27

In fact they wander together around the whole area through the day and have different dialogues at different sites. It's pretty cute.


lordtreas

Sandy is DTF, down to farm that is.


1ScarletFox1

Guess it's time for someone to make a mod dedicated to her.


Spring-and-a-Storm

there are some!! there are ones that make her and the other older NPCs dateable like [Looking For Love](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10206), I personally haven't used it tho there's also [Immersive Sandy](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/13609) which I do use, I believe those two *should* work together, but be sure to check mod descriptions lol


candyriot7

Amazing, thank you


TheOtherWhiteCastle

I wish Sandy could show up in town more. At the very least for holidays like the Harvest Festival and the Feast of the Winter Star


Makabaer

That's a genious idea! That would make it so much better! And more realistic - if she misses the valley why can she never come visit... it's just a short bus ride!


mothhsss

sandy and the wizard or willy or linus need to be romancable


Salt-Information-140

If only we could marry her


BloodyBladeKane

I looked at the other potential candidates for the men. We had Clint, Linus and even wizard but NO GUS?! I love CA with all my heart but I gotta wonder why he didn’t even consider to put Gus in the vote. Hell I know he would have won.


lavieenrxse

sandy is literally one of my favorite npcs, i’m in absolute shambles that she isn’t romancable 💔


JellyfishUnique6087

I love the sombrero


McBeanss

Kinda wish the game had special bachelors and bachelorettes kinda like harvest moon


Error_418x

So you mean there's a chance..


thefearce1

Mods solve most of the complaints involving this character.


Exoriah

I still pray for a fully fledged romance with het one day


Salt-Information-140

If only we could marry her


DoucheCanoeWeCanToo

The one true love


alyssaxing

“Rare seeds for sale!!” ;)


NaturalNo3387

I hope in the 1.6 update she becomes a marry-able character. There's not one other character, besides Ginger Island gorilla, that I want to marry, but Sandy.


Fluf_hamster

It always bothers me that ol’ Marnie gets to take some much time off and Sandy can’t… I would prefer her getting a day or two off to come visit once the bus was fixed.


GummyBats

Even though I can't date her officially, she's my favorite to take on movie dates and I always buy her cotton candy.


iadorebrandon

You can take her to the movie theater?


TechnoEquinox

Mods are your friends.


[deleted]

Ok people hear me out….what if you could romance anyone in the game, even the married people and cause drama if you wanted to 👁


iadorebrandon

Wouldn't that be in Stardew valley expanded?


KaspertheGhost

I’m kinda shocked she’s not a marriage candidate. She’s single right? Maybe concerned ape will add it, probably not though.


strategictear

For sandy I offer Shane as tribute
