TL;DR To unlock the Community Center, enter Pelican Town from the Bus Stop on a non-rainy day, starting from Spring 5th onward, between 8:00 am and 1:00 pm.
Timing and Weather Conditions
The Community Center in Stardew Valley becomes accessible after you trigger a specific cutscene. This event can occur from Spring 5th onward, but only under certain conditions. You need to enter Pelican Town from the Bus Stop entrance on a sunny day, between 8:00 am and 1:00 pm [3:2]. If it's raining or if you enter the town from a different direction, the cutscene will not trigger
[1:2],
[3:1].
Entering the Town Correctly
It's crucial to approach the town correctly to trigger the cutscene. The cutscene should start as soon as you enter the town from the Bus Stop path, not by walking directly to the Community Center itself [3:1]
[3:3]. If you've been entering the town too early (before 8:00 am) or from another direction, this could be why the Community Center hasn't unlocked yet
[2:3].
Troubleshooting Tips
If you've followed the steps correctly and the Community Center still hasn't unlocked, consider checking for game updates or verifying the integrity of your game files, especially if you're playing on PC [2:6],
[3:5]. If you're using mods, ensure they are not interfering with the game's standard progression
[4:1].
Additional Considerations
While meeting all villagers is not a requirement for unlocking the Community Center, it might be helpful to check your quests and ensure there are no other prerequisites you might have missed [2:5]. If issues persist, creating a new save file and testing the process again can help determine if the problem is a bug
[3:4].
In all my past playthroughs I've gotten the cutscene in my first few in-game days, but I'm on the 14th day of Spring and I still don't have it
After day 5 walk towards the town between 8am and 1 pm
I think it might require certain weather too but I'm not sure
Yes on a day that is not raining, missed that part sorry
Yes! Unfortunately I had a pretty long rain streaks but I got it <33
Tysm!
Have you triggered the event where Lewis unlocks it?
I guess not. I haven't played in like a year. I went online and it says it opens the first sunny day on or after the 5th. I had like 4 rainy days in a row it was weird. What do I have to do to trigger it.
First, I would say make sure your game is completely updated just in case. Next, I’m not actually sure on how to trigger it, other then just walking into the town from the bus stop area on a day after the 5th like you said. You could try making a new save file and see if it works then.
EDIT: so apparently I must've gone into town before 8am everyday. Looking thru the wiki I realized you had to enter town after 8
Check ur quests and make sure you met everyone. Then next sunny day try go in town
I've gone into town every day just about and I haven't net everyone but that has never been a requirement in the past
You could always just pay for Joja membership.
Never
On my last play through it took until the 10th for me to get access to the community center.
Not sure why but it eventually unlocked
To open the Community Center, the player must enter Pelican Town from the Bus Stop on a day when it is not raining, from Spring 5th onward, between 8:00 am and 1:00 pm. Entering town from another direction, at another time, or on a rainy day, will not trigger the cutscene.
Since everything else seems okay, try heading west to the bus-stop then back east again, and see if it triggers.
it occurs via exiting the bus stop path and entering into town, not at the CC itself. Also make sure you do enter after the cut scene and read the plaque in the crafts room on the left.
This is the most likely answer. If this doesn’t work, and you’re using an unmodified game, it seems to be a bug. Verify integrity of game files and possibly reinstall if needed.
Are you using mods or is it just vanilla?
vanilla, im scared to get mods lol
Well a quick way to test it could be to make a second file and sleep till day 5 then go into town after 9am (if its not rainy) and see if it triggers. If it does trigger then not sure what to tell you. If it doesn't trigger that's a bug.
Did you enter the town from the bus stop after 8 (and before 1)? You shouldn’t have to walk up to the community center; the cutscene should play as soon as you enter town.
If you were already in town when it hit 8, or if you entered from a different direction, it won’t unlock it.
So my boyfriend and I started playing this mod after I spent many many hours playing the standard game. We are on spring 9 and there hasn't been anything related to the community center, so if anyone can help, how do we unlock it? Or the community center doesn't take part in this mod? Thank you for all the help :D
enter the town square from the bus station corridor on a sunny day 4 or 5 or later. that should start the quest chain. did for me in SVE
Hey! I'm on my first playthrough and recently finished the community center. I was wondering what does it unlock? Not the bundles, the actual center. So far I've found:
-Willy's boat -Abandoned Jojo mart
And looking for the answer to this question online I found that there's a secret junimo woods too. Is there anything else that can only be accessed after the community center is completed?
A new quest line from the wizard. Go to the train station to start it.
Ahh, thank you!
spoilers: >!the movie theatre in the abandoned joja mart!<
Oh, also Pierre's is open 7 days too
There's no Secret Junimo Woods. that is part of the Stardew Valley Expanded mod and not part of the original game.
In the vanilla game it unlocks after the cutscnee you get with Louise between 8am and 1pm on spring 5 but I'm not getting that cutscene, is this a bug or are there changed to how to community center is unlocked in SVE? Sorry I'm new to the mod
It should be the same, but you also have to enter town from the bus stop for it to trigger.
Yeh I have been :/ I walked in and out like 15 times and it didn't trigger
I think it also has to be a sunny day
We completed the bundles went through the cutscenes community center is finished but it is missing 2 stars. We have tried to find a way to trigger anything to help but so far nothing is working.
Minecarts are broken. Greenhouse works. Bus works.
Joja mart is still open. What do we do!
I honestly have no idea… I’m hoping a comment might get more eyes here. That’s weird and frustrating. Are you playing on Switch or PC?
Pc
My partner pointed out that this post is in the “mods” sub and I’m part of 3 Stardew subs so I didn’t see that… MY BAD! I really am not one to help here I’m so sorry. I haven’t tried any of the mods yet or on PC in general. My partner knows more about them though, we’ve started looking through them as I’m leaning towards actually trying to play on my computer for this game specifically. He mentioned that “Sometimes stuff breaks. But big mods like Expanded or Ridgeside have been around a long time and have ironed out a lot of the kinks”. So that’s what I have right now. I’d look through which mods you ARE using and list them on your post and people who have used those mods can supply better input. If you figure it out, could you post an update? Congrats on finishing the community center regardless tho BTW, I was so stressed about it my first run.
👍
Probably not an original idea, but an idea nonetheless. Why not have the Feast of the Winter Star (and other town festivals) inside the community center after unlocking it?
The community center really has no current purpose so it makes sense. It would be so cozy inside by the fireplace, there's a full kitchen, and there is definitely room for everything.
That sounds interesting! Maybe you could mention that to r/StardewValleyMods, as there are a lot of modders on there who might be able to do that. I looked up your idea, and it actually does seem to be original.
You’re on the crafting menu not the inventory menu.
I found it, thanks!
I found it thanks!
Try looking at the first tab!
it didn't go anywhere. have you gone to the community center before and triggered the event with the wizard to translate the slabs? the button is only there if the bundles are unlocked.
