Overlays for Stardew Valley streams
Stardew Valley is pixel art, soft greens and a slow day on the farm, so the overlays that suit it are either pixel art themselves or warm, hand-made and calm. Loud neon or glossy esports plates fight the game's palette; these sit next to it.
The pixel pieces echo the game directly: a farm-sign stream bar that grows a little garden as you reach your goal, a goal list ticked off in pixel checkboxes, and chat as pixel speech bubbles. The cottagecore packs bring the countryside feeling without the pixels, if you would rather the overlay stay softer than the game.
Where the widgets go
Stardew Valley puts the date, time and your gold in the top right, your energy bar in the bottom right, and the toolbar along the bottom center (it jumps to the top when your character walks near the bottom edge). That leaves the left side and the top left mostly free, so chat, goals and alerts go there. A full-width stream bar along the bottom overlaps the toolbar, so scale your game capture to sit just above the bar.

Questions
Will a pixel art overlay clash with the game's own pixel art?
Not if the pixel size and colors stay close, which is why the pixel pieces here use soft greens, creams and sky blues. If you want a clear separation between overlay and game, pick a cottagecore pack instead.
Where should the chat go on a Stardew Valley stream?
On the left side. The game's clock, gold and energy bar are on the right and the toolbar is at the bottom center.
