Tbh, you're very early in the game and there is no time limit! Don't feel like you have to have your entire farm organised in year 1. While you explore the rest of the game and work on the community centre, you'll chip away at clearing your farm (and that will get easier as you upgrade your tools).

As others have noted, you can move buildings later. So for now, just put them where there is room. Once the farm is clear, take an in-game day or three to rearrange the layout — and if you do that and decide it's still not quite right, you can change it again.

I like to do big rearrangements in winter because there aren't crops or animals to negotiate. Some of my farms get rearranged every winter for the first few years, as my farm develops and needs change. It's all part of the process.

I reset my phone earlier this year and lost my WhatsApp messages because I didn't have backups turned on. So if they are doing this, it's new in the last few months.

Have you double checked the settings on the account in question?

They don't hurt humans or pets. They'll also tend to hide, given the opportunity.

They do like to eat paper, however. One silverfish isn't a big deal, but if you see them often it's worth looking into deterrents or pest treatment. When there are lots, you'll start to notice holes in notes, books, etc — most particularly (in my experience), loose pieces of paper left undisturbed for a length of time.

Nexus mods is the place to go, as noted in another comment.

Quality-of-life mods are a good place to start. E.g. Pony Weight Loss Program so your horse can fit through one-tile gaps.

Then look at mods that expand content (Stardew Valley Expanded is a good starting point, but there are others that introduce new areas and characters). It's tempting to add a bunch of these, but I'd recommend not getting too carried away. Pick 1-2 max and enjoy them thoroughly, then next save try different ones. If you have 6 new areas and a hundred characters to interact with, it gets overwhelming pretty quickly.

There are also mods that are purely cosmetic/flavour, according to your personal taste/whim.

Some things are going to depend on your climate, so what has worked for me may not be a good fit for you.

That said, things I've had success with as a lazy gardener in a cool temperate climate:

  • beans: pick every few days and eat fresh; keeps producing through the season
  • lettuce: choose a variety from which you can pick a few leaves at a time rather than harvesting the whole head
  • silverbeet/chard and spinach: pick leaves as needed
  • Jerusalem artichokes: takes all season to grow, but produces an abundance of tubers; use them like potatoes
  • leeks and spring onions: use the green part, leave the roots in the ground and it will regrow
  • radishes: quick to grow, can be eaten fresh or cooked
  • beets: can pick occasional leaves to eat while the roots are growing
  • perennial herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano, chives)
  • parsley
  • Asian greens (pak choy, choy sum, tatsoi, etc)

Mostly those things have grown with little attention from me apart from water when it's dry. Many of them can be grown easily from seed, which is cheaper than seedlings but takes longer.

Let a plant go to seed and you get more for free. Leeks, spring onions, radishes, leafy greens, parsley are very easy to do this with. Save a few Jerusalem artichoke tubers for next season's crop. Let a couple of bean pods dry on the plant, save the beans and plant them next season.

If there is a community garden near you, that's a great place to ask for advice about what grows well in your area. They may also be able to help you get started with seeds or cuttings.

I can't see how The Silmarillion could work as a single film, given how it is structured.

Would really be best done in several discrete films, and they don't even need to be named "Silmarillion". Heck, you could probably make several films just from the Morgoth wars, never mind the other stories... Plenty of material without stretching it too thin like they did to The Hobbit.

It's not about the age of the device, hut whether it is still meeting (or able to meet) the needs of its user(s).

If it was fully functional, would it still be meeting your needs? If yes, it's worth trying to resolve the problem(s). There are some good suggestions here for things you can try.

If the laptop wasn't really meeting your needs, or the issues the laptop is having can't be resolved, then yes it's time to replace it. (And you may not need to scrap it: sometimes an older device can be repurposed for a new job, either with you or with someone else.)
