First off, try lowering the game's graphics settings. Stardew Valley is cute, but it's not Fortnite. You can easily tone down the graphics a bit without losing the charm. Also, check if you're running a ton of programs in the background. Sometimes, that Spotify playlist you've got going is more of a resource hog than you think.

Turn off V-Sync and check if there's an improvement. Stardew Valley runs smoother than a greased pig for most, but V-Sync can sometimes cause issues depending on your setup. Give it a shot!

Honestly, just restart your computer. It's like the universal fix for 99% of tech problems, including lag in Stardew Valley. It's not the most technical advice, but hey, if it works, it works.

It's all about the mods, man. If you're running mods, one of them might be the culprit. Try disabling your mods one by one to see which one is causing the lag. It's a bit of a process, but worth it if you find the troublemaker.

Make sure your drivers are up to date, especially your graphics card drivers. Stardew might not be the most demanding game, but outdated drivers can lead to unexpected issues.
