The decision to have children is life-changing—except for Stardew Valley players. In this popular farming sim, players can romance one of 12 townsfolk, marry them, and even have children together, regardless of gender. While these children never grow past the toddler stage, players can engage in small interactions with them, like greeting them and dressing them in hats.

Reddit user ll-FireFoxx-ll encountered a funny issue when they put a Qi Mask on their child, only to find they couldn't remove it. Their toddler continued running around the house looking like a Qi fruit come alive. "Send help," they wrote, noting they were playing on Xbox.

The replies were helpful, but one player's suggestion stood out for its creativity. Reddit user Lifewasoutoflemons suggested, "Turn him into a bird and the hat will show up in the lost and found." This method, while unconventional, would allow players to remove the hat and their offspring simultaneously without losing the accessory.

Though technically correct, the simpler and less dramatic solution is to click on the child while holding a different hat, which should remove the existing hat without replacing it.

Many Stardew Valley players regularly turn their children into doves using the Dark Shrine of Selfishness, effectively removing them from the game. Offering a Prismatic Shard to the shrine erases the offspring, leaving few repercussions other than a few eerie interactions. As children never grow up in the game, this shrine is the only way to remove them from the home.

Players have their own unique ways of enjoying Stardew Valley—some even involve sacrificing their children at a shrine hidden in the Wizard's basement. While there's no "wrong" way to play the game, this example shows that even the coziest games can have hidden dark mechanics to explore.
