In Stardew Valley, you can bring villagers to your farm by marrying them, but one fan found a way to bring an entire towns worth of people onto their acreage thanks to the 1.6 update.
The game now supports eight-person multiplayer, so if every farmhand builds a house and marries a villager, you can get eight townsfolk to move in. It's an easy enough way to get started on that cute little cult you've always wanted. I mean commune. A small, friendly commune, with no sacrifices whatsoever.
As one commenter points out, if every single farmhand and bachelor/bachelorette were to have two kids, you could feasibly stretch the population to 32, which is over half that of the town itself. The cult (sorry, commune) grows.
For a relaxing life sim, living it up in Pelican Town can be awfully stressful.
Even better, if any of your farmhands leave the game, the villagers will stay so long as you don't demolish their house. All you need to do is coral seven friends to play Stardew Valley at the same time, quickly marry a bunch of villagers, and have a couple of kids each. Then your farm will forever be overflowing....
