The rolling out of patch 1.6.9 on all platforms has caused a couple of issues for Stardew Valley, but creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has been on hand to provide lore explanations for everything that's gone wrong. Your chickens are disappearing? There must be a coyote on the loose.
Not even Barone has an explanation for this latest bug, though. There's an abandoned house near the Wizard Tower that starts unoccupied but becomes inhabited by a mouse that sells fashionable headwear once the player earns their first achievement. The 'hat rat', as some affectionately call it, is no longer appearing for some players.
This was brought to the attention of Barone on X, where a user revealed that the mouse wasn't appearing but the user interface for buying hats still popped up. Barone was quick to respond, saying "Thank you, this is a bug if you're playing in Spanish. It will be fixed in an upcoming patch." Attached to Barone's reply is a picture of the hat mouse with a 'Sombreros' sign, which is, of course, the Spanish for hat.
Why the mouse isn't appearing in the Spanish version of the game is beyond me, but we can take solace in...
