Stardew Valley Expanded is a great mod for many reasons. In many ways, it gives Stardew Valley a brand-new lease of life with the sheer amount of interesting and engaging content it adds, including content that links to the pre-existing Stardew Valley universe. However, one of the best parts of the Extended mod is definitely because there are not one, not two, but six brand new romanceable NPCs for the player character to meet and fall in love with. One of these popular new bachelorettes is Sophia, the shy, pink-haired farmer who lives at the new Blue Moon Vineyard.
That being said, with so much new content to take in, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin if players want to get close to Sophia - even schedules and loved gifts can be total guesswork. Luckily, this guide will explain everything players will need to know to make sure they can get the most out of their relationship with Sophia!
Sophia's Regular Schedule For Every Season
Every villager in Stardew Valley and in the Expanded mod has a schedule they follow that changes depending on the day, the weather, and the month. Sophia has a fairly regular schedule throughout many of the seasons and days. Since she's also a farmer, she works on a schedule that mostly revolves around her vineyard, so looking for her there can be a safe bet if players would like to seek her out.

The Best Gifts For Sophia: Likes, Loves, Dislikes, And Hates
Sophia's taste in gifts can be quite varied, so it can be hard for players to know exactly what she likes, especially since the Extended mod adds so much new content to the game. However, many of her loved and liked gifts reflect her personality well - for instance, she enjoys cute things like flowers and sweets, and it's relatively easy to remember that she'll like any type of vegetable or fruit that she might receive.
While Sophia will appreciate her favorite gifts all year round, she'll especially appreciate them on her birthday! If players are looking for a good way to raise hearts quickly with Sophia, try gifting her a loved or liked present on Winter 27 for a huge boost in friendship points.

Movie Theater: Sophia's Favorites
With Stardew Valley's 1.4 Update, the Movie Theater made its way to the town. As such, Stardew Valley Expanded's roster takes note of this, and Sophia has likes and dislikes alongside the base game cast. To invite Sophia to watch a movie with them, players must visit the theater (located at the old Joja Mart building) and buy two tickets for 1,000g each. After purchasing a ticket, players should find Sophia and gift her one of these tickets to invite her to the theater. Afterwards, go to the Movie Theater at any time on the same day they give Sophia a ticket.
Just like with gifts, Sophia has different likes and dislikes when it comes to concessions and screenings. If the player takes Sophia to a screening she enjoys or buys the snacks she likes, they'll receive a lot of heart points; the opposite is true for disliked screenings and concessions. Keep this in mind when taking Sophia to the movies to be sure to make the most of your time together!

What Happens After Marrying Sophia?
After Sophia and the player marry, Sophia will move into the farmhouse alongside the player. She'll add a small, cute room to the right side of the farmhouse with a computer, a bookshelf, and a sewing machine. She'll also make a small area for a Fairy Rose garden on your farm, and she can occasionally be found tending to it. After Sophia marries the player and moves into the farmhouse, she'll give the player character small gifts.
After marriage, Sophia's schedule will change slightly; she will stay on the farm on Saturdays and Sundays, and on rainy days, she can always be found at the farm. On Thursdays in Fall, she will also stay at the farmhouse, and in Winter, she will only leave the farm on Fridays.
Stardew Valley is currently available on PC, macOS, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and Mobile.
