What is the Stardew Valley Save Editor?

The Stardew Valley Save Editor is a tool hosted on Nexus that allows players of Stardew Valley to edit their save files. Technically, the Save Editor is not a mod as it does not fully integrate with the playable game. The best way to understand it is that the tool alters the Save File itself, not the game. Players can use it to move items, change details like the type of pet they own, and even augment happiness/relationships.
