Big news for Stardew Valley fans! Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has finally answered the community's long-standing request. With the 1.7 update, two of Pelican Town's most familiar faces, Clint and Sandy, are officially becoming marriage candidates.

Stardew Valley 1.7: Start a New Life with Clint or Sandy!

The town's shy blacksmith and the cheerful shopkeeper from the desert are now more than just friendly NPCs they could be your future partner! ConcernedApe describes this update as "the last big piece to complete social relationships."

Meet the New Marriage Candidates

Key Changes in the 1.7 Update

With Clint and Sandy joining the marriage pool, here’s how the game dynamics shift:

• Clint's Shop: If you marry Clint, his shop will be run by an assistant on certain days (when you're away), or an automated counter will take over.

• Sandy's Oasis: When Sandy moves to your farm, her Oasis shop will be managed by a new character appointed by Mr. Qi.

• New Heart Events: Unique 10- and 14-heart events have been added, exploring Clint’s social anxiety and Sandy’s longing for life between the desert and the valley.

Release and Access Details

• Status: The 1.7 Update has just been announced.

• Price: As always with ConcernedApe, it's free.
