### Quality of life changes
* The game now recovers most saves automatically if they're broken, corrupted, or missing the `SaveGameInfo` file.

* The tailoring UI is now a bit more intuitive: slots that can't accept the held item are now disabled, and you can no longer pick up some items that can't be tailored.
* Colored items like flowers now also sort by color. That avoids items being reordered randomly each time you sort your inventory.
* You can now only sell books to the bookseller via the book purchase menu, not the trade-in menu. This reduces the chance of accidentally selling a book when trying to trade it in.

-Ape ːstardropː

Dear Chinese players:
We've received a lot of feedback about the changes made in Stardew Valley version 1.6.4.
Therefore, we decided to revert the translation changes and fonts to version 1.6.3. (The smooth font will still be an option). This change will be made in the coming days.
In the future, we will take a more cautious approach to translation modifications and pay more attention to community feedback. I apologize for any confusion or stress this has caused. Thank you for playing and supporting Stardew Valley.

-Ape ːstardropː

After quickly fixing a few issues with 1.6.4, we are now on 1.6.5.
This one fixes a rare crash that could happen in the mines.
It should also help with some people who use mods that were having trouble loading their saves after 1.6.4.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed crash when loading dark mine levels in some cases.
- Broken villager NPCs (usually due to a removed mod) are now deleted on load. They'll respawn when they're re-added to the data.


Thank you
-Ape ːstardropː
