And yes, I know, we're starting and stopping Stardew. This is important so that you aren't screwing up part of the install so we can not have issues later on.

wheat fable
#

"windows cannot find E:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Stardew. make sure you've typed the name correctly, then try again."

scarlet quail
#

breathes deeply

#

Revenant. Do you remember what I said about INCLUDING the "s?

#

I said paste it exactly as it was written

wheat fable
#

WHERE DO I HAVE TO PUT IT IN...

scarlet quail
#

that error only happens without the "s

halcyon igloo
#

somehow i felt like that was going to happen

#

"E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

you left out the quotation marks when you need them

scarlet quail
#

Copy and paste this entire message.

#

Paste it into the steam launch options.

wheat fable
#

game has started, but has now started lagging my computer

scarlet quail
#

Well, full disclosure, that's modding generally if you don't have a good computer

halcyon igloo
#

well i’m not sure that can really be called an issue on smapi’s end

scarlet quail
#

And y'know

#

As it stands you have like 5 GB left on E

#

Your drive is probably already being tasked to its limit.

wheat fable
#

my computer is pretty hardy.

#

so i should get a new hardrive?

scarlet quail
#

That won't really solve the problem. the problem is it's full as hell.

long brook
#

Just delete unused files on that drive for now

scarlet quail
#

^^^^

#

or move them to C:

#

If your computer is truly hardy it shouldn't matter too much. I'm curious on the specs now but it's none of my business so shrug

long brook
#

I'm guessing all your steam game is in E: drive so might as well uninstall some games you don't really play

wheat fable
#

i just need it to run some mods..

scarlet quail
#

Okay, and? You don't seem to be making connections here that you should, so I'll be really basic about it

#

Drive full = harder for drive to do stuff. Think of it like having something try to lift a 200 pound weight and they can do it with difficulty

#

Now imagine you put an extra 20 pounds on it

#

In the long run, that's gonna make drive sadder.

#

Granted it's just one aspect of how SMAPI runs - lot of SMAPI's performance is GPU/RAM from what I know of

wheat fable
#

i've uninstalled some games i dont play and now i have 17.1 (ish)

scarlet quail
#

Yeah that'll do.

#

For now anyway

#

I'm assuming you have something like 16 GB of RAM if your computer is hardy

#

At least.

#

if that's wrong let me know but otherwise

#

We've got SMAPI installed. So yay. We've got it hooked up to steam, so yay.

#

Now comes the final part.

wheat fable
#

now i can do mods?

scarlet quail
#

We're putting in mods. yeah

#

So. First thing to know. When you download a mod, it's in that zipped folder.

wheat fable
#

which zipped folder?

scarlet quail
#

Always extract. Putting the zip in the mods folder won't do anything.

#

Apologies, I misspoke slightly. It's in a zipped folder.

halcyon igloo
#

like how you downloaded SMAPI

scarlet quail
#

So for example, if I download "Automate" from Nexus, it'll be in a zip. If it's in a rar or 7z, don't bother with that mod for now

#

When you get said zip. You unzip it. Since you aren't changing the target of where it's unzipping, it'll unzip to downloads again in a normal folder

#

When you see the normal folder, drag it into the mods folder.

#

The mods folder you should have seen earlier.

#

(Local files of Stardew. Which is why I told you not to skip steps earlier)

#

If you do that, SMAPI should recognize the mod in game, unless you're downloading an old mod which no longer works.

#

So I do have to ask.

#

What mod or mods are you downloading?

wheat fable
#

lemme look for some i like

halcyon igloo
#

honestly maybe start with an interface recolor

scarlet quail
#

that question was asked since I thought you had them picked out but if you don't just...follow those instructions

#

And come back if you have issues.

halcyon igloo
#

just so the feedback that it’s working is just there when the game launches

scarlet quail
#

Oh

wheat fable
#

this one

scarlet quail
#

And because you're going mod shopping revenant and this was a pain

#

!autolog

native dragonBOT
#

If finding a log is too confusing and you're able to load your save, you can install the In-Game SMAPI Log Uploader to get the log without having to search through the files. Simply hold Left Alt in game and then click the Pufferfish symbol and the log will automatically be uploaded to smapi.io! https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/13979

scarlet quail
#

Grab that too

wheat fable
#

hold up

#

gimme a sec

scarlet quail
#

yeah configurable luck should load correctly, although you'll want GMCM to configure it.

#

!gmcm

native dragonBOT
#

Generic Mod Config Menu (or GMCM https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5098) adds the option to edit some, but not all, mod configs from either the title screen or the options page in a save. It also has a special screen to edit keybinds for all mods with GMCM integration.

The presence of the gear it adds to the title screen is not a method for checking whether mods are installed, only whether GMCM is installed.

neat plaza
scarlet quail
#

Sure why not

#

Might help them and if I haven't heard of it I might nab it XD

halcyon igloo
#

i know i wanna know the thing 👀

neat plaza
scarlet quail
#

blinks how on earth... did people have like a "log upload mod" contest that day??

#

because that's within the same day XD

#

I should add that to the command but then I'd have to grovel before a mod again

neat plaza
#

mine was uploaded originally ages ago but i rewrote it and uploaded that day

scarlet quail
#

I do have to ask Pillow. Does the "log when crash" portion only count when the game outputs "crash" or does it happen anytime SMAPI just closes on its own?

wheat fable
#

what do i do

scarlet quail
#

be more specific, revenant

#

do with what, basically

wheat fable
#

i was'nt paying attention to the discussion

#

ive installed the mod menu thing

scarlet quail
#

Okay, so you have the auto log uploader and GMCM?

wheat fable
#

not the auto log

scarlet quail
#

well

#

I meant the

scarlet quail
#

this thing

#

sorry, since there are two, the command name is now misleading XD

halcyon igloo
#

you know i should actually download that and save myself another file browser window lol

wheat fable
#

right stop stop stop eveybody stop

scarlet quail
#

I mean we weren't really going but okay

wheat fable
#

i'm trying to figure out what to do next, i've installed the thing, i've checked the folder that i used to get the damn thing working (which is probably unzipped) and nothing is different.

#

what do i do?

halcyon igloo
scarlet quail
#

....I probably need to add that then. Generally Aeden's doesn't output if SMAPI just closes, only if a crash error is logged

neat plaza
#

yeah

#

it uploads if smapi is closed after being ran by it

scarlet quail
scarlet quail
#

installed the thing, referring to several folders, and nothing is different doesn't help

halcyon igloo
#

no it’s not

#

what folder name

#

what file

wheat fable
#

im sorry but its the best i have.........op[hghawfeioSDHFGIDAHFG[0I9UOHSAH\IDUFG0OHIHJASDTGUYHIYP

scarlet quail
#

I'm gonna agree with holy here. I hate to say it, but at this point you're not giving specifics so we can't help.

halcyon igloo
#

honestly i’m not sure you’ll be able to sustain this on your own

scarlet quail
#

Slow down, take a break if you need

#

Then come back and give specifics.

wheat fable
#

this pc > downloads > SMAPI-3. 17.2-installer > SMAPI 3. 17.2 installer

scarlet quail
#

why are you back at the smapi installer?

#

None of those are the mods.

wheat fable
#

idd id dididid

long brook
#

Calm

wheat fable
#

where ae te meods saompeosed to be

scarlet quail
#

in the downloads folder, in their own zips.

neat plaza
#

your downloads folder, and they get unzipped into your mods folder, in your game folder

scarlet quail
#

wince they're probably going to take that as toss zips in mods

neat plaza
#

true

halcyon igloo
#

there should be a folder “Mods” in here now that smapi is installed i think

wheat fable
#

i see them

halcyon igloo
#

unless i’m remembering the location incorrectly

neat plaza
#

the mods folder is there, you're correct

scarlet quail
#

Okay. if you see the mods, then you need to unzip the mods. Then they'll be in their own non-zip folder, like the SMAPI installer was

#

You then drag those unzipped folders into mods

#

Step 1: Unzip

#

Step 2: Drag folder into mods folder

#

Step 3: done

Realising this is probably a bad time but if I change/delete a farm map will it destroy the save or is it okay ?

#

Going to agree with Outside here. Your typing is becoming incomprehensible and -

#

Alright. Look, since I see probable profanity in there. Take a break.

#

Otherwise we'll have to call the Junimos.

halcyon igloo
#

i’m still looking at it sideways trying to figure out what it could be

neat plaza
#

i think the first word is probably that

halcyon igloo
#

“that’s what i’m” and then probably a swear at the end

scarlet quail
#

I'm no expert in reading it but my assumption is "That's what I'm trying to do fuck you"

halcyon igloo
#

oh you’re so good

neat plaza
#

i can see that in it

scarlet quail
#

The previous sentence sort of confused me given they kept responding but I figured it was "I'm not going to understand and I'm not going to"

halcyon igloo
#

literally i hope they’re taking a physical walk right now

#

i take stress walks with my buddy

long brook
#

Well it's the syndrome kicking in. Hope he take rest

halcyon igloo
#

strong work everyone

long brook
#

And take some rest for you guys that trying to help him too

scarlet quail
#

Oh I'm just relaxing by proofreading my code from the other night for the Winter Star stuff

wheat fable
#

i dont know if i have the sanity to continue

#

im just too drained at this point

scarlet quail
#

Well, that's fine. Revenant, you will need to delete the launch options to launch normal Stardew

#

Then after that, just table it for another day.

wheat fable
#

where the hell is the la- the launch options in steam yes...?

scarlet quail
#

yes.

#

right click stardew, properties

#

Then just delete what we told you to put in launch options earlier

#

Then normal Stardew will boot every time.

lament prairie
#

It's okay to take some time and come back to things later, and it's ok to not understand things, but yelling at people trying to help you is not kind or helpful

scarlet quail
#

And then you can just go about the day as if we didn't do any of this.

wheat fable
#

i've deleted the thing

scarlet quail
#

Alright you're good to go then

wheat fable
#

so now i've got the mod in the game?

halcyon igloo
#

well

scarlet quail
#

No, now you're back to vanilla stardew

wheat fable
#

oh

scarlet quail
#

I'm assuming you don't want to have Stardew stuck running with SMAPI if you're not continuing

halcyon igloo
#

console go brr

halcyon igloo
#

if you’re at your limit already there’s just no point in pushing it further

halcyon igloo
#

i’m confused what is that from

#

oh nvm lol

#

honestly if you don’t have specific mods you’re interested in

wheat fable

(Revenant.EXE has automatically began the restarting process. Revenant.EXE will finish restarting in #,'/[;#';/',[];'/#,;/' hours, #./#,;/'#.;'/],;'/#,;/ minutes and ,;'/',;/[,;'/,;' seconds.)

scarlet quail

...We get the point, revenant

glacial tangle
#

Lyoko you're a Saint. Just sayin

scarlet quail
#

As it stands, we're all good here, so you should be able to play Vanilla if you'd prefer, or if there's another game you'd prefer to play or another activity you'd like to do it'd probably be a better idea that simply kicking yourself for not understanding

#

shrug Eh, I'm just in a "getting things done" mood atm. Not getting super annoyed or anything, just mainly trying to research solstice stuff

Trust me, if I ended up in a shittier mood, it'd come across XD

If you have a mod idea that you aren't planning to make yourself, you can put it in the mod ideas github: https://github.com/StardewModders/mod-ideas

However, this does not mean anyone is guaranteed to work on your idea—modders who are looking for ideas sometimes go through and work on what they find interesting off this list. If you want to pay someone to make your mod idea, there are a few people who do commissions (mostly art, sometimes code); you can ask around, search usernames for the word comms, or see !commissions.

brave fulcrum
lament prairie
halcyon igloo
#

all that just to not have specific mods they want it for tho

brave fulcrum
#

Thank you to you both. I do look through that tab from time to time. There are some great ideas that I do plan to use. There are so many mods. Some great one that I even plan to use outside of custom made mods.

wheat fable
#

@lament prairie

#

will this work?

halcyon igloo
#

you have them in the wrong folder

#

but that is essentially how you install yes

wheat fable
#

which folder am i supposed to put it?

scarlet quail
#

the mods folder.

neat plaza
scarlet quail
#

In your local files.

neat plaza
#

and autologupload isn't a mod, as lyoko recommended, you should probably use in-game smapi log uploader

wheat fable
#

okay

wheat fable
#

in steam?

scarlet quail
#

go to steam. Click cog, hover over manage, click "browse local files"

halcyon igloo
#

the mods themselves or the mods folder?

scarlet quail
#

you'll see a "mods" folder at the very top.

wheat fable
halcyon igloo
#

in the "Mods" folder in this folder

scarlet quail
#

you stick em in there.

#

pssst holy

#

edit that to be a bit more specific

#

ty

halcyon igloo
#

i'm just gonna try taking my own screenshots lmao dont' know if that'll help though

#

@wheat fable do you use google chrome? do files show up at the bottom of the chrome explorer when you download things?

#

got myself a yogurt i'm a little less hangry now lol

wheat fable
neat plaza
#

opera gx is chromium based... but alright
i think opera gx does that aswell

halcyon igloo
#

ok it doesn't matter lol i just know how drag-and-drop works quickly specifically with chrome downloads

#

you can just drag from the browser to the mods folder

#

if the files show up as completed in there

wheat fable
#

imma just do it my own way and see if it works k?

halcyon igloo
#

sure but just make sure it's in the right Mods folder in your Stardew Valley game files

robust bison
#

(Stardew Valley, StardewValley is the appdata folder)

wheat fable
#

where should i put the extracted files? ConsoleCommands, ErrorHandler or SaveBackup?

halcyon igloo
#

in the same folder as them! not inside any of them

#

they should show up next to each other

wheat fable
#

ah

#

should this work?

neat plaza
#

yes

wheat fable
#

cool

#

now do i boot up the game from the file explorer thing?

halcyon igloo
#

if you make sure the launch options that lyoko gave you earlier are correct so that you can boot from steam too

scarlet quail
#

you can, yes. That or re-add the launch options.

#

Take your pick.

halcyon igloo
#

(but yes he can just launch smapi right?)

#

we're almost there!!

robust bison
#

yes

scarlet quail
#

there will be a cog in the lower left of Stardew's main menu when you boot so you can configure your luck

wheat fable
#

here goes nothing

halcyon igloo
#

the actual installation of the mods in stardew valley themselves is very simple i have no idea how it works for other games

robust bison
#

a lot of other games require file overwriting

#

and in general mods aren't very compatible with each other

halcyon igloo
#

you did it!! seems like walking away for a bit helped

robust bison
#

in my experience the json won't save the upgraded kegs added anyways, the author said they would fix it next update

vapid latch
#

sad times. was hoping it was as easy as simply adding a line lol

robust bison
#

it's supposed to be

#

I've been waiting for the update before playing again

vapid latch
#

the thing is, i tested it with the machines that are already added in the config - and those work just fine

#

just any addition in lines to the config seems to screw it up

#

let me try and remove one of the PPJA ones and replace it with one of the kegs

#

well. now it doesn't throw out a json error, so it's running, but still no bonus getting applied to the custom machine. lol

robust bison
#

yeah, it's bugged

vapid latch
#

i just don't understand how it's picking up all those other custom machines

robust bison
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

vapid latch
#

oh, it just overwrote the keg line that I replaced. makes sense

robust bison
#

I don't think you can

neat plaza
#

you can but why?

in which case use BlueStacks or something

[#5906] "So, I realized where I messed up, I have restarted a few times and it is working consistently now. Following the steps on the wiki, I made a copy of the API file and renamed that and tht was when it wasnt working. All I actually changed was that the actually API file i renamed to Stardew Valley before making a copy to use as a shortcut. There was also 2 seperate files labeled just Stardew Valley both of which I changed to Stardew Valley - Vanilla . When these 2 things were done in tandem it began to function properly. Just wanted to put out there what actually worked in case someone else comes across it." - @celest lagoon (26 Mar 2022 @ 04:52:53 AM UTC)

I was playing on my modded file last night and my power cut out shutting everything off on my computer, but when i tried to play today my save file didnt come up i tried to look for the save backup and it is now gone aswell, the whole save file is gone and when i tried to load smapi it came up with this, Is anyone able to help?

native dragonBOT
#

Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

summer swan
#

And that doesn't look too good. What do you mean with the "backup is gone aswell"?

#

The ones in the game folder as well?

woeful hatch
#

idk why but its gone evereywhere i think

summer swan
#

You checked Steam\SteamApps\Common\Stardew Valley\save-backups? assuming you're using Steam version, path would differ for other versions

#

And you also tried to restart your pc? SDVpufferthinkblob

woeful hatch
#

yeah i have

#

i found an older veersion that is lik 8 ingame days behind so ill just use that i guess

summer swan
#

So the save-backups are still there?

#

And yes: Those can be several days old because as far as I know they're only done once per real life day.

scarlet quail
#

with the save thing, there should always be two saves

#

in the saves folder that is

#

The first is the farm, the second is the _old farm which is one day in game prior

#

if you delete the current ones and rename the _old ones to not have _old, it should work.

hehe Im too lazy to remove it from my folder when I do play multiplayer

scarlet quail

In any event.

desert pewter

Would that mess anything up?

scarlet quail
#

likely not the JA PPJA items

#

it would most likely not, but figured I'd check

desert pewter
#

Ok.. hm.. I am almost positive I didnt ship anything Id never shipped before but it is weird

summer swan
desert pewter
#

I might just reload the game and see if I can continue and pay more attention for if it if the error comes up again

scarlet quail
#

I'd also verify your files because you have some XNB mods in your not loaded mods list

summer swan
#

You can make an additional short cut on the desktop for multiplayer. There was a command for how to set it up (if you're interested).

desert pewter
#

haha fair enough I just havent bothered to move it into a seperate folder

obsidian ferry

Is there a way to reset NPC locations during the day if they've bugged out? Gus is currently missing and it's his birthday in-game, so I really want to give him a gift...

desert pewter
#

I dont know about resetting but try first to make sure that his icon isnt being collapsed into another one
(i.e he is standing next to Emily, so Emilys portrait will show)

#

if you hover over all portraits and still dont see him then I might try looking into other things then

obsidian ferry
#

I can't see his full body sprite anywhere on the map.

#

Penny also walked through some solid objects earlier during the day, so I think Gus is out of bounds.

#

I still have no idea which mod is causing it either, because none of them should be affecting anyone's schedules.

#

Emily is also walking around the bar, so if Gus was stuck inside her I think I'd see him by now.

lament vortex
#

try writing this in the console debug whereis Gus

#

or actually, I think it should be only whereis Gus, without the 'debug'

obsidian ferry
#

About that... I'm playing on my Steam Deck with the console not pulled up.

lament vortex
#

Ahh

obsidian ferry
#

I do have a mod that allows me to save anytime with F5, though.

#

Actually, I wonder whether that bugs out the character movement...

lament vortex
#

I'm not sure if that could be it, but the mod is likely broken anyway

obsidian ferry
#

Broken in what way?

lament vortex
#

Mods that allow you to save anytime might damage your saves

obsidian ferry
#

I haven't had any saves corrupt or break significantly.

The updated version of "Save anywhere" (if that's the one we're talking about) has a huge "It doesn't work" by the mod author. Hence why I wouldn't use it.

obsidian ferry
#

I don't remember which one I installed... Let me check.

scarlet quail
#

Yeah Save anywhere bad, do not use

summer swan
#

And the older one isn't maintained due to the updated one. Which makes that one a "Don't use it" too.

obsidian ferry
#

It's Save Anywhere by Alpha_Omegasis.

summer swan
#

That's why it's important to check comments too. The "It doesn't work" is in the comments and unfortunately not on the main page."

obsidian ferry
#

v2.13.0, to be specific.

summer swan
#

That's the original version.

#

You should use neither that one nor the updated one.

#

Can you be lucky and an unsupported mod works for a long time without trouble? Yes. But one day you might be unlucky. That's not only for SDV but in general that such mods can cause a lot of trouble that might not be seen on day 1.

#

I don't know how it works but do you have the save from the beginning of the day and maybe could try restarting there? SDVpufferthinkblob

obsidian ferry
#

Great, there goes my way of not having to replay bits of the day before festivals if I want to restart the festival. 😔

obsidian ferry
obsidian ferry
#

(I also pause time indoors, so that might also be messing with the pathing.)

summer swan
#

I understand your wish to create an additional save every now and then but games that work with "save once a day" aren't good with mods changing that behavior. SDVpuffersweats

obsidian ferry
#

I mean, I can't say that surprises me, but it also is frustrating when I want to shut down the system I'm playing on and I'm not just done with a day.

#

Which is the main reason I use it.

summer swan
#

I think (it's a huge "I think and I never did it") you can use console commands in the chat window too? I guess that's what they meant with "chat commands". SDVpufferthinkblob

obsidian ferry
#

No success so far, sadly.

gaunt gust
#

It's a mod that lets you run commands in the chat window

summer swan
#

Oh. I thought it might be possible by default. My bad. SDVpuffershy

obsidian ferry
#

Going to install that one.

summer swan
#

I don't know Steam Deck: Is it a separate installation and all? SDVpufferthinkblob

obsidian ferry
#

I just copied my mods folder from PC over to my Steam Deck.

#

Seemed like the easiest way to get it up and running.

#

Test mods on PC, then just copy them over if they do.

summer swan
#

My thought was if it would be possible to move to PC and do the trouble shooting there. SDVpufferthinkblob

obsidian ferry
#

I do run Windows on PC, but I don't think that should matter.

#

I mean, I don't share my save files with PC.

#

But I can enable that with cloud storage.

summer swan
#

Just install the mod on Steam Deck for now and see if that solves it. Preferably it does.

obsidian ferry
#

I mean, yes, but I've saved during this day.

#

So the question is whether I should save again or not, because it would certainly be easier to get inside the bar that way.

summer swan
#

I wouldn't save again as it most likely won't improve the situation.

obsidian ferry
#

I mean, NPC locations always reset the next day, so even if they get messed up in their routing for a day it's not permanent.

summer swan
#

Oh. Sorry. I thought you meant using the mod for saving. SDVpufferthinkblob

obsidian ferry
#

I meant that, yes.

#

But even if it messes up the NPCs more, it will not do lasting damage, as far as I've seen.

#

(This save file also isn't very old, so I'm not particularly hung up about losing it as I'm in Summer 1.)

summer swan
#

I'm not an expert that's why I can't say for sure what the best to do would be. What I personally would do (no guarantees): End the day by going to bed (Gus not getting a present), hoping all NPCs are fine the next day and remove the save anywhere mod. SDVpuffershy

obsidian ferry
#

I mean, that's what I plan to do as it's easier to just suspend my Steam Deck.

#

My PC I do nooooot like to keep running overnight if I can help it, so that's more my use case for Save Anywhere.

summer swan
#

If you don't care about your save game: Save, install the mod, try the command and see if it fixes the issue and if you can give Gus his present. But There's no guarantee that you'll find Gus the day in both cases I guess.

obsidian ferry
#

(That and aforementioned festival day saving, because I hate having to wait for the festival to start if I want to e.g. redo the egg hunt.)

summer swan
#

I don't like mine running the night either and that's why I just quit and start the day again the next day. 😅

obsidian ferry
#

To be honest, I often just use it for that.

#

Oh, I don't have the patience for that at all.

#

:'D

mild talon
#

You ever use the mail services mod? I find it quite convenient for gifts and quests. Maybe too easy sometimes but it's also configurable @obsidian ferry

obsidian ferry
#

I've never heard of it.

mild talon
#

Oh snap check it out

obsidian ferry
#

I'll have to do a think on how I feel about it.

mild talon
#

You do you

obsidian ferry
#

The tool upgrades through the mail is absolutely something I want, though.

#

Way easier than having to sit around outside Gus' place until he opens.

mild talon
#

Yess.Yes.. and eventually Item Reocvery Service from Marlon

#

I made it charge me a small fee for sending stuff.

obsidian ferry
#

I mean, that's fair.

scarlet quail
#

I made him charge me an exorbitant fee to send stuff via the mail so that I wouldn't use it until I got his phone number via Gil

#

I forget what it was, but it was something insanely expensive so I didn't even try to do it XD

mild talon
#

What is item # 662 ??

#

Something Dino related maybe?
D Ranching Overhaul mentions it and I can't find this #

#

"..Incompatible with any mod that adds or changes entry 662, and any mod that alters the Dinosaur Sprites
Dinosaurs Growl now redundant"

little spire
#

okay wait i had to think about it and idk if what i originally made sense but

#

I'm having trouble triggering the 9 heart even for Yandere Elliott and when I tried to use the debug command it just says "event not found"

#

i am looking at it directly with mine own two eyes, what do you mean SMAPI

lament prairie
#

If it's only conditionally patched in or the patch isn't loading somehow, that would be an issue

#

!patchsummary

native dragonBOT
#

Can you do these steps to provide more info?

  1. Load your save and view the content that should be patched.
  2. Type patch summary directly into the SMAPI window and press enter.
  3. Upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page).
  4. Post the log link here.

is it because of the 3 mods trying to load same asset?
i just tried to fix that to one. I don;t understand what it is saying in the ss
(referring to wherever it says Dino Ranching Overhaul/Cowboy Life Expanded/Balanced Valley all trying to load dino asset png)
or could it be the BFAV mod "gold/void rex"? most recent animal mod added. havent bought the eggs yet.
Appreciate any help

little spire
lament prairie
#

just location should be enough for Data/Events/LocationName to be loaded up

lament prairie
mild talon
#

it's just saying "something's not right here..."

#

I edited above post.. not sure if it has anything to do w Gold or Void Rex BFAV animals

lament prairie
#

No, there's not an easy way to get more info

#

Try fixing the thing with 3 assets being loaded as a starting point

#

Since either way that needs to be fixed for those mods to work at all

mild talon
#

yes, i'll try that!

#

the "input strings" thing is in the base game then?
sometimes SMAPI tells you line X position Y and it's workable. this is just a little frustrating

lament prairie
#

A bunch of the errors are in BFAV itself, so if you can't fix the errors we might have to test more

#

BFAV is...in a bit of a state these days

#

It doesn't work at all on Mac, but you're on Windows so it should more or less work

fast sandal

Does anyone know how to fix this error the game keeps crashing when opened

lament prairie
#

that's not an error

mild talon
#

yeahh... it's been working so far! i've got the animals from TCLE which are all added thru BFAV now I think. or many of them are. getting the correct produce and all that w a couple quirks.. the pigs "hold" the truffles on their heads while waiting to go outside. and sometimes afterward

lament prairie
#

In what way is it crashing?

#

if it's freezing, give it a little time to load

That shit can mess up your system bad if you do it wrong

No need to rush

Or put stuff in that you don't want put in if you get it from shady websites

i did what they asked me and it still crashed after a while

#

it dosnt stay open

scarlet quail
#

Speaking as a user nicely situated between "alright computer literate" and "probably a coder or highly advanced computer user"... never open command prompt without doing the exact thing

#

Okay, what happens prior to the crash

#

Be specific for atra

#

nothing just closes

#

and dissapears

#

ik alot about computers but like not rn not when i just wake up hahahaha ( i study software eng) what a dissapointment

Hey my game lags, the game will run smoothly but then the music will stutter and gameplay will lag and this is in modded and normal. I got recommended pressing something in steam however that means I can’t use mods so I was wondering if there’s anyway to fix that?

long heath
#

i need help so whenever i go down a ladder in skull cavern my game freezes

royal wraith
#

Looks like I’ll be swiping my sword a lot though

#

It hasn’t fixed it

summer swan
#

You started the game through Stardew Valley.exe from the game folder for "unmodded"? SDVpufferthinkblob
And did you try file verification?

#

I don't know what you mean with "recommended pressing something in Steam".

shy orbit

royal wraith
#

Going into properties, then betas then choosing comparability

summer swan
#

You're on an older windows? SDVpufferthinkblob

royal wraith
#

I have no idea I have windows 10

summer swan
#

That's not an older windows.

#

"Older" would be something like 7.

royal wraith
#

Oh no aha

#

I thought it would be class as old now since 11 is out

#

Modded stardew and normal stardew use to work as normal but then just lately it will work normally and then the music would stutter and the game would lag

summer swan
#

You started the game from the game folder with Stardew Valley.exe for "unmodded"? And the result is the same?

royal wraith
#

The only thing that opening the game for through the folder is the modded api

#

I open stardew as normal through the icon on my taskbar

summer swan
royal wraith
#

Yes

#

But they both work perfectly then it will start to stutter

#

But it works perfectly when I have the comparability on but then I can’t use modded stardew

summer swan
#

Do they start to stutter after hours or after like 10 minutes?

royal wraith
#

10minutes

summer swan
#

The question is: Did you have the issue since the first day you played or did it occur "out of nowhere"?

royal wraith
#

Out of nowhere

summer swan
#

Does the log have anything to say about "doing unusual things"? SDVpufferthinkblob

#

Although that wouldn't affect unmodded. And I guess you already did file verification (probably won't help, but bit "out of ideas"). SDVpufferthinkblob

royal wraith
#

It says 21 files failed to validate

summer swan
#

And you may wait till one of the experts is available. Because what you describe is fairly unusual.

summer swan
#

Wait for Steam to finish and try again.

royal wraith
#

It says it will be reaccquired

summer swan
#

Yes, that's Steam fixing your installation. SDVpuffershy

royal wraith
#

Ah right

summer swan
#

When Steam is finished: Try without any mods first.

royal wraith
#

Thanks you 🙂

#

Okay

summer swan
#

File verification is Steam checking if all files are "as they're supposed to be". And that can spare you a reinstall if something is wrong with your game files (not always, but in most cases).

royal wraith
#

Ah right

summer swan
#

That's why I thought you already did that.

#

Wait... Are you using xnb mods?

royal wraith
#

Mhm that what I was abt to say I have skins for animal aha

summer swan
#

Those wouldn't be disabled when you start the game without SMAPI as they're changing the game files directly (which is why you should avoid them). SDVpuffersweats

royal wraith
#

Yeah now it’s saying that everything is okay

#

I’m loading unmodded stardew right now

summer swan
#

Ok. If that works, do the same with modded.

royal wraith
#

Alright

summer swan
#

And check if any mods are "missing" in the game. I don't know how well file verification works with xnb mods. SDVpuffersweats

royal wraith
#

There’s no missing

#

None*

summer swan
#

And it's working or still trouble?

near terrace
summer swan
#

Which is another reason why direct game edits aren't "a good choice": Steam likes to remove those because it thinks you've a broken game. SDVpuffersweats

near terrace
#

Yep

#

There's a handy-dandy command for situations with xnb mods

#

!xnb

native dragonBOT
summer swan
#

It's not "modders fault" as I guess most of them are "pre SMAPI / CP etc".

royal wraith
#

It’s working smoothly

near terrace
#

Yep, it's just an outmoded way of doing things

royal wraith
#

I haven’t checked the mod yet tho

summer swan
#

Although @royal wraith if you're not sure in that regard: SMAPI will give you a warning if it detects such files as far as I know.

summer swan
# royal wraith It’s working smoothly

And with that it's no longer a "technical issue" and becomes a "modded issue" if it continues. That's why file verification is important too: To tell if it's the game or the mods. 🙂

royal wraith
#

Right I take it back it’s doing it again

summer swan
#

Aside from your hand shaking I don't see anything unusual. SDVpufferthinkblob

royal wraith
#

Did you listen to the the chest sound

#

Sorry that my filming isn’t good aha

summer swan
#

Oh. It's about sound.

#

So the stuttering is gone and only the sound issue is left?

royal wraith
#

It’s the sound and movement is if I’m running aload of tabs on my laptop aha

summer swan
#

Here's the problem: I'm not good at hearing and your chest sounds to me like "phone mic isn't the best, but chest is chest". SDVpuffersweats

#

I saw the thing in front of the mailbox. That shouldn't happen. SDVpuffersweats

royal wraith
#

Can you see how it’s like lags and Ik my audio isn’t the best but the sound does the same that’s when I know it happens is when sound messes up

#

Mostly the music

#

I mean when there’s music

summer swan
#

As you said it started "out of nowhere". Anything changed? Windows update, driver updates, new software running in the background...?

royal wraith
#

Not as I know of

summer swan
#

Have you tried starting a new game for testing purpose? Just to make a chest and running around.

#

Without mods of course.

#

And maybe try another round of file verification. Sometimes it can be necessary to do it twice.

royal wraith
#

that’s what I did

#

I checking my laptop to see if it’s up to date

Hi atra! DuckieWave Here are 2 logs, one from SMAPI 3.17.2 and one from SMAPI 3.18, both with Profiler installed.

Hey! I seem to have an issue with my saves any time I try to go to sleep before it’s the evening, and every time I’m usually alright with losing that half day of progress, but does anyone have any idea why it breaks? I looked up the whole thing and it looks like the save file itself is corrupted as it stops before the /savegame (or whatever the command is, I don’t remember)

#

It has been happening since before I got any mods, so I don’t think it would be from mods

summer swan
#

!log

native dragonBOT
#

Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

lucid quiver
#

Yep I’ll try to do that no problem

#

(I did delete the file but I have a backup of it, even if it was corrupted)

summer swan
#

While it might have happened without mods too: Maybe SMAPI can say anything about it.

#

Start the game, try to load your save.

#

When it crashes / breaks get the log and upload it following the instructions on the page.

lucid quiver
#

Okay, so I fixed it already, but basically there is no save showing up

#

Like, in my menu I only have my two other saves and not the one I was looking for

#

I’m gonna swap the game files and see if I can get you the log

Do you want to take a look at it?

scarlet quail
#

Your save is corrupted Jay

lucid quiver
#

Yeah I have them, dw, I saw that they are and I just rolled back a day Bc I didn’t really care

summer swan
#

Scroll down to "save disappeared or doesn't load".

lucid quiver
#

But it’s not the first time, and I wonder if there is something I could do to avoid it

lucid quiver
#

Every time it happened tho, I went to sleep in the early afternoon instead of in the evening

summer swan
#

Did the issue happened with the same save or a different one before? SDVpufferthinkblob

lucid quiver
#

Different one before

#

I did the same thing, rolled back a day

#

At least twice before

#

The first time was nerve wracking lmao

#

But yeah when I take a look at the docu it says that if the file doesn’t end with /SaveGame it’s corrupted and that’s what’s happening

summer swan
#

What I don't understand: One savegame being corrupted? Unfortunate but can happen.

lucid quiver
#

Yeah! I agree! That’s weird that there is even a pattern

#

Oh maybe I should try doing it on purpose this time

summer swan
#

Different ones? That really shouldn't happen.

#

You tried file verification at some point to make sure you're installation is fine?

#

Oh. It's not Steam. SDVpuffersweats

lucid quiver
#

Maybe? I tried repairing files before?

#

Nope

#

Got

summer swan
#

Sorry, I was at the wrong log.

lucid quiver
#

Gog

summer swan
#

Does gog have something similar? I never used it. SDVpuffersweats

lucid quiver
#

And tbh, I’m reluctant to do anything with files Bc uh, at first I had an issue where I could not open the game at all unless I was in legacy edition, but then it ended up working when I had smapi installed? Idk

radiant osprey
gaunt gust
#

honestly I haven't the first clue where to start looking haha. I don't really think the warning level would make a difference here, I don't see any extra errors on the 3.18.0 side

summer swan
lucid quiver
#

Indeed

#

Since I couldn’t have smapi with legacy

#

A whole mess really

lament prairie
#

if it happened without having an old house mod, try resetting your content files

!log

native dragonBOT
#

Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

lament prairie
#

it's not too hard to filter though a log to find the culprit

summer swan
lament prairie
#

sounds like they went back to normal version, installed smapi, this magically fixed the issue with sdv??

lucid quiver
#

It was a whole mess

#

Extremely frustrating, and even this chat could not figure out by what magic it happened, but it did, so

#

Seriously it brought me to tears so many times before it magically worked

summer swan
#

@lament prairie Could the magic cause the issue? SDVpufferthinkblob

lucid quiver
#

Anyway now I can run sv with mods and I’m very happy about it

#

But yeah I don’t really know what exactly could corrupt a save yk?

#

Save corruption often happens when you quit mid-save process

#

quit or your computer crashes, that is

#

it sometimes also happens randomly

#

SMAPI keeps backups and you can get even more with Advanced Save Backup

summer swan
lucid quiver
#

As far as I know, it only ever happened when I quit after a save earlier in the day, but also it always said that it was successfully saved so….

radiant osprey
#

i'm kinda dumb when it comes to modding ngl

lucid quiver
#

I’m currently trying to recreate the error, actually

lament prairie
#

Don't remove PyTK without a plan

#

You have mods that use it

summer swan
lucid quiver
#

Nope

radiant osprey
lucid quiver
#

Well I can’t replicate the bug by going to bed earlier, so I’m guessing this isn’t actually what caused the issue

native dragonBOT
#

@lucid quiver You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels and share images in all channels!

lucid quiver
#

At least I know I can save earlier and not worry about the bug lol idk

lucid quiver
#

I’m interested in knowing what’s going on tbh, even if it’s usually not really that upsetting

summer swan
# lucid quiver I’ll look that up!

Make a backup of the SMAPI saves before you start playing. SMAPI saves on its own "once per real life day". So you might backup those before you start playing to have some "spares".

lucid quiver
#

Oh yeah I regularly make manual backups

#

Learnt that from the sims lol

summer swan
#

I personally would still check the installation but I can see why you're not a fan of it. SDVpuffersweats

lucid quiver
#

Yeah 😂 I don’t wanna jinx the magic

#

Anyway thanks a lot!

#

I’m pretty sure I don’t have saves of the old corrupted files so I can’t see if it decided to stop at the same time, unfortunately

summer swan
#

Maybe.. SDVpufferthinkblob

#

You saw the message of "successfully saved" or what it is after going to bed. Maybe wait like a minute or so after you see that message before you quit the game.

#

I doubt that's it's the reason as the game should be finished in time, but maybe it's not. 🤷‍♀️

lucid quiver
#

yeah i'll do that next time lol

#

but my save file ends with "<isPathwa"

#

so

#

i'm guessing it's corrupted indeed lmao

mild talon
#

Well, I think I found out why I can't get any blue chickens. Apparently Looking for Love breaks Shane's 8♥︎ event.
Event Lookup says I've seen it already. When I try to replay it via "reminisce" it simply does not load.
Seems like there might be a solution (aside from deleting LFL). Just need some help understanding what this person is talking about... re 'removing npc barrier tiles'...

#

I don't get stuck in any doorway. Don't remember what happened in the event in "real time". I think it might very played out normally but I could easily be confusing past games.
Convinced this broke the blue chicken acquisition at least
Is NPC Barrier properties gonna be a Tiled edit?

What exactly did you do? When you say you 'messed something up'

tawny moon

just loaded the game was all i did, worked fine yesterday (thank you for answering i know you are bz)

#

does something need to be removed or updated(smapi didn't say o.o)

summer swan
#

Is it normal that Farm Type Manager spams that much? SDVpufferthinkblob

scarlet quail
#

Definitely not

#

Sakura, reinstall Ridgeside Village and SVE

tawny moon
#

okay will give it a go :3

tawny moon
#

Still doing it

gaunt gust
#

Can you temporarily remove spritemaster

tawny moon
#

Okay :3

#

Took it out loading the game now

#

No go 😦

#

still doing the same thing ;-; maybe my save is no good now -__-

brazen mortar
#

Posting here since my game is modded- but if I don't have wifi should I just avoid playing? The 'unable to sync steam cloud' message is kinda spooky

lament prairie
#

I’ve played without wifi and no issues

#

I think restarting in offline mode is safest

#

Generally I’m not as worried when I play with mods because I have save backup and advanced save backup

brazen mortar
#

I switched to offline mode but still got the unable to sync steam cloud message. It just was worded pretty scarily with 'could lose data and be unable to recover it'

summer swan
#

Disable the cloud. SDVpuffersweats

#

You can do this only for SDV or in general.

#

Unless you play on 2 pcs or are worried about loosing data on your hdd you can just backup the saves manual.

brazen mortar
#

I didn't even know you could do that, Genuinely thought it was necessary or something

I only have one pc and my drive is brand-new so I don't think I need to worry

summer swan
#

Steam cloud has it's advantages if you use 2 pcs and it stores your saves in case you delete them by accident. But it can also cause trouble (i.e. like for you right now).

tawny moon
#

I took out Spritemaster, still doing the same thing ;-; @gaunt gust

summer swan
#

Rightclick on SDV in your library -> Properties -> General

#

@tawny moon New log as you disabled a few mods? SDVpufferthinkblob

i took off the game and put it bk and nothing new o.o that i noticed.... @summer swan

And FTM still spamming? Or did that get better? SDVpufferthinkblob

tawny moon
#

Only yellow text is there that’s normal?

summer swan
#

Sorry, but I can't see anything there (no eagle eyes). That's why I asked for a new log uploaded.

scarlet quail

That is normal when loading especially in SMAPI 3.18, yes

#

I can't say what mod might cause the issue with the rain, but at least FTM stopped spamming. SDVpuffersweats

tawny moon
#

yeah ^_^;

summer swan
#

I could only suggest: Disable mods until you find the culprit unfortunately.

tawny moon
#

yeah ;-; only thing i can think of is., take some off n see what works shurgs

summer swan
#

You know that you can use a .disabled folder?

#

So that you don't have to actually "move them far"?

tawny moon
#

okay ^_^; i didnt know that

summer swan
#

Create it inside the main mods folder. You can name it whatever you want. The important point is the dot at the beginning.

#

Folders starting with a dot are ignored by SMAPI.

#

Was it in a "vanilla" or "extra area" where it happened?

tawny moon
#

Okay -- .Whathappend <- like that then put the mods i need to ingore

summer swan
#

Yes.

#

Depending on where it was: If it was in an SVE area I would probably move Ridgeside and its additions first.

#

Just make sure that the dependencies (i.e. Json Assets) stay in the regular folder. If another mod needs those too.

tawny moon
#

whats the next one i should put in? after that or should i just fire it up after putting i the files in the folder thing

summer swan
#

Start the game. Check if the problem is solved.

#

If not: Choose another "group" and move it.

tawny moon
#

okay 🙂

summer swan
#

It would be faster to "move half, check the other half", but as you're searching for a possible conflict the "not too many at once" might be the better choice.

#

And I see that you use Save Anywhere. SDVpuffersweats

#

It has nothing to do with your current issue but you might reconsider that one.

tawny moon
#

yeah, i'll consider all them to be honest o.o

#

i just want to play xD

summer swan
#

Even the updated version of Save Anywhere states "It doesn't work anymore".

tawny moon
#

thats probably giving me teh issues then?

summer swan
#

SDV saves once per day and I understand it can be "inconvenient", but there was a discussion about it like 1 or 2 days ago (sorry, bad memory) that it might not be worth it.

summer swan
tawny moon
#

okay ^_^

#

i deleted it

summer swan
#

In the other case there were issues with NPCs I think? I probably need sleep. SDVpuffersweats

#

If your interested you might use discord search on this one or scroll up a day or 2. 😅

tawny moon
#

okay^.^ i live on discord looks to all teh chanels I'll fire up the game n see what happens w/o the ridgeside.

summer swan
#

When you found the group with the mod causing the issue: Narrow down the group, put the "suspect" aside and then move the others from the disabled folder back to the main folder and check if it works. And yes: It would be easier if SMAPI would give you some red as a hint. SDVpuffersweats

#

I understand that you would prefer to game and that this is currently the "no fun"-part of modding. But such things can happen. And I'll no go and get some sleep. keyboard isn't a good pillow

tawny moon
#

I understand and it’s working without ridgeside and sprite

#

Go to sleep have a sleep

tawny moon
#

morning when you get this ty for your help:3 i went to reddit and posted my problem there, and someone suggested i remove earthy recolour(I like that one) i did that, and put back Ridgeside n it ran fine(for now) o.o @summer swan

mild talon
#

Hey @scarlet quail ! So finally got a chance to load up the game w new edited Toshi map.. and it disappeared from the hospital :/
I checked thru the files to make sure all the references were correct. I think the issue is his special Toshi hospital bed... Tiled says it needs the tsx back (town interior tsx)

#

So did I undo everything I just did the other night?
I put it back cuz he needs his room xc
Tho this was just for a special hospital bed code, not the whole room. I guess I could get rid of that part possibly.

scarlet quail
#

The one we did the other night was not for the bed one

#

it was for the hospital itself. You'll need to embed the tilesheets in the other map too

mild talon
#

idk.. i should prob look at it tomorrow. it's tired time now.

mild talon
scarlet quail
#

How on earth

mild talon
#

i heard this term the other day.. "directory climbing". What does this mean

scarlet quail
#

Move your Content unpacked folder outta there

#

The game should not be getting anything from the unpacked folder

#

The fact it's even detecting it is problematic

mild talon
#

where do you mean ?

scarlet quail
#

The game is somehow detecting the Content (unpacked) folder, which shouldn't be possible

mild talon
scarlet quail
#

Where-ever you have it right now is bad

#

That doesn't show me anything

#

Mainly because the folders up top just start at toshinori

mild talon
#

the WHole content unpacked folder all the way over in the steamapps place?

scarlet quail
#

yeah get that outta there.

#

I don't know how your game is detecting it, but it should not be under any circumstance.

mild talon
#

uh... i don't know how. i didnt move it!
i've copied pieces into Tiled to do map stuff

#

you were there lol

scarlet quail
#

yes, you copied them into the folder, then you should have moved the Toshi folder into your mods folder

#

The toshi folder should not somehow be able to be using the content unpacked's version of towninterior

#

That's what directory climbing is in this instance because it's trying to look up for the tilesheet

#

Tilesheets can only be found at or down.

#

(i.e. in same folder or in subfolder)

#

If you somehow still get it detected, delete Content (unpacked) entirely and tell me what you get in SMAPI

mild talon
#

ok... looking at his Maps. i don't see the TownInt png now 🙁 I swear i put it in there last time. right? that was part of the proces ??

scarlet quail
#

copy out a new one from content unpacked then

mild talon
#

ok

scarlet quail
#

Then delete content unpacked if need be

#

well, wait

#

no don't do that what am I saying

mild talon
#

ok. i can always get it again later right

#

oh.

scarlet quail
#

your maps folder shouldn't have it because the game should use the vanilla tilesheet

#

sorry, it's late and my brain's frazzled after writing all the dating dialogues and a few defaults in one fell swoop

#

Definitely only doing small tweaks for the remainder of the night XD

mild talon
#

you're making a dialogue mod?

scarlet quail
#

Yeah, Custom Fixed Dialogue for Winter Star to make it feel more unique. We'll see how it goes

mild talon
#

OK, so. What do I do.. ?

scarlet quail
#

Won't deal with the "give gift to someone" part, but the "getting a gift" part will be more unique

#

toss the toshi mod in your mods folder

#

Delete content unpacked (or at least move it somewhere else)

#

boot smapi, give error if there is one

mild talon
#

Toshi's been there the whole time

#

ok deleting content unpacked

scarlet quail
#

Kinda figured, but the fact that content unpacked somehow got detected is no bueno

mild talon
#

yes.. it's bizarre. wish i understood better

mild talon
scarlet quail
#

Yep, that's actually a json I'm coding right now

#

granted I have like six jsons concerning solstice but y'know

#

This is the dating variant XD

mild talon
#

No errors so far upon loading.. gonna go see what the hospital looks like

mild talon
#

Hmm.. the room is still messed up. But no snapi errors. And I can see him standing in the space. 🙃

#

No doorway. Or walls. Or furniture. (Those are my decorations left there)
Not sure how to interpret this.. 😮‍💨

#

how do i make a dialogue mod load after another dialogue mod so that it appears in game? Like I have download canon friendly dialogue and immersive saloon but I want immersive saloon's dialogue to have priority in appearing. Also, does ridgeside mod affect what vanilla characters say in general dialogue (not cutscenes) bc if it does, then I would also like ridgeside to have priory over CFD ❤️ tysm

actually the dependency should be added to the manifest.json file of the other mod that you want to come after CFD (i.e. add the uniqueid gizzymo.canonfriendlyexpansion to the Dependencies field in the manifest.json file of the immersive saloon mod). i could probably do it now too if you upload and link the manifest file of the immersive saloon mod

#

i might need to leave without much warning, but probably not

I'll get a parse log up tomorrow so I gotta this is just whining right now, but I'm wondering if there's some known issues with a couple mods (or, alternatively, if I'm that much of a doofus). Entoarox Modding Utilities keeps throwing an exception and I have no idea what's up with it. Lumisteria More Pickled Products apparently has no output and a couple mods don't seem to recognize farmer to florist. I've done a clean install with all of them and it didn't make a difference.

#

Also I must be missing a mod or sometime and I can't figure out what it is. I get error text saying that SMAPI doesn't know what a bunch of drinks are (English rose, hibiscus, etc). I'm pretty sure I have all the stuff installed so 🤷🏼 IDKM

shy orbit
#

!ppjadga for farmer to florist i guess this

native dragonBOT
#

The latest released version of PPJA (Project Populate Json Assets, a popular mod) is a conversion from JA to DGA, but it has some bugs in it, and the mod author has retired. Sticking with the older JA version is probably your best option.

You can download the JA version from the Old Files section on Nexus, or by downloading the latest versions of the standalone components instead of the megapack (except for Farmer to Florist, where you would need to look under Old Files in the standalone version).
