[scarlet quail]

well. there's a lot of red there

[unborn pine]

Hi all finally back to play Stardew and now my mods are acting weird usually don't have this problem and my modding is a little rusty. Could I get some help. Posted my log above.

[scarlet quail]

(And we can ignore the rented tools thing, as that was thrown after returning to the title screen)

Alright, there are several problems with your modlist, so I need to go through a few things

First up:

!xnb

[native dragon]

XNB mods often break the game and are not recommended. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods for more info (and a list of Content Patcher alternatives), and https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files to fix problems caused by XNB mods. For mod creators, see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Editing_XNB_files for help unpacking & editing them (including for use with Content Patcher).

[scarlet quail]

You have a couple XNB mods in there according to your game. Those are bad. Verify game files and remove FencesPacked and WhiteFences

[unborn pine]

dang how did that slip in lol usually I catch that!

[scarlet quail]

Second, ARV spouse rooms can be ignored unless you're marrying sterling - if you are, get the beta file from the ES discord (or just get it anyway)

Third, Overgrown Fairy Tractor Garage is empty apparently, so you may have to redownload and if it's a file replacer replace the necessary files

And fourth and kind of importantly... how attached are you to the furniture mods that aren't loading?

My recommendation will differ based on your answer here

[unborn pine]

I married sterling of course lol. I can get rid of the furniture mods. I am not sure what happened they were working then just stopped.

[scarlet quail]

They're not working as you don't have PyTK, but PyTK is bad for load times, will break in 4.0 SMAPI, etc.

[unborn pine]

yeah I forgot i deleted a minute ago because it was making my game lag

[scarlet quail]

Which is why I asked about how attached you were, because Custom Furniture needs it. If you needed them, we'd have to work with that and either you'd need PyTK or you'd have to go through the process of converting it with Elizabeth's converter

Anyway, that's the top part of the log dealt with

Now for the other stuff, which is less fun because it's how things work

I've never used Mod Updater so I don't know what's up there, apologies. you might want to reinstall, see what happens

you have the beta version of NPC adventures, so the content pack for the RSV people isn't loading. if you want them, you'll need to download the other main file on Nexus for NPC Adventures

[unborn pine]

lol I appreciate your help. as long as my game works i guess with college I let everything slip

[scarlet quail]

has the word "blackhole" in it

Let me look at this "Custom NPC Outfits" thing because it appears to be badly coded and I swear that would be caught

Ah, yeah, a mod that was uploaded earlier this year, received no updates, and has json errors. I....wouldn't use it IMO if the author just abandoned it

[unborn pine]

okay i am doing all this while we chat i appreciate this very much

[scarlet quail]

Actually, looks like Custom NPC Outfits is the cause of a lot of these errors, oddly enough

[unborn pine]

then I will just delete it

[scarlet quail]

do that and the loading of portraits stops the red there, and the warn texts go away

I think after that it's just reinstall DaisyNiko's tilesheets

[unborn pine]

Okay I’m doing all this now and will let y’all know how it goes. Thanks for taking time to help me

[scarlet quail]

yep after that it's just deprecated code which you don't need to worry about

[unborn pine]

I’m just taking all the clothes and furniture out too I don’t really need it anyway

Where do I go for the beta files for sterlings room? Is it not on nexus

[robust bison]

ES discord

[unborn pine]

Okay thank you

[unborn pine]

Launching now to see how it goes!

I took all the xnb files out and did all the other mods correctly but, the content patcher is saying something about xnb files but I cannot find any

Suggested fixes: One or more mods are out of date, consider updating them

[unborn pine]

I also updated Better Artisan Goods Icon and its still telling me to update

[dapper gazelle]

oh...it looks like you deleted the xnb files necessary for Stardew Valley Expanded to actually run. You'll need to redownload SVE

[unborn pine]

Okay thank you. The xnb confusing to me a bit lol

[scarlet quail]

Right. Short version is those aren't actually XNB files put into the game for SVE, but that's because SVE runs on an older code base

[dapper gazelle]

(this is probably complicated if you're new to all of this, but those xnbs are fine...they're there so that events can play. it's when there's just an xnb sitting in an otherwise empty folder with no content json)

[scarlet quail]

you don't put that into the content folder so those are good

newer mods do something with an empty json rather than an XNB. Still, when you redownload and reinstall SVE, that should essentially fix everything, since with the ARV beta file you can delete the spouse rooms, TMXL, and Witch's Garden Flowers mods

And that'll kill all your red and any of the actually problematic yellow!

[unborn pine]

Okay thanks guys. Last time I was modding I never had a problem with the stardew valley expansion so I’m still green about a lot of this I only been doing it for a year and had to take a break to do my college work.

[near terrace]

That's not your fault, that's just the manifest version number having a mismatch with the version number on nexus.

[unborn pine]

Thank you I was completely confused. Lol.

[scarlet quail]

Oh, you can actually fix that on your end if you want, it's a simple manifest edit

[unborn pine]

Yeah if you guys can tell me I’ll just follow y’all’s instructions

[ornate forge]

(Y’all’s is an interesting word)

[unborn pine]

Lol Kentucky here

[near terrace]

what you can do is just open up the manifest.json file for the ppja part of the bagi mod, and where the version says 1.0.1, change it to 1.0.2.

[near terrace]

It's a useful one!

[scarlet quail]

change 1.0.1 to 1.0.2

[unborn pine]

Okay just did it.

[scarlet quail]

save, then exit

[near terrace]

yep that'll fix it

[scarlet quail]

the update thing will disappear into thin air 😛

[unborn pine]

That’s done lol thank y’all. Now I’m fixin the rest

[dense trench]

How to disable all mods for the mean time?

Without deleting them?

I want to head back to my main file which isn't modded compared to my second file

Im playing on steam. Is removing the launch option ok?

[long brook]

It's okay, but you need to save the launch option somewhere else. You can launch the game from the original exe inside game folder too

[dense trench]

By launching the game via original exe, it will not trigger the mods?

[long brook]

Nope, it won't

[dense trench]

Will it save the file tho? Because im launching it without steam

[long brook]

Yes it will

[dense trench]

Aight

Thank you

[long brook]

Ur welcome

[jaunty geode]

hi, I'm trying to compress my mod file to a zip but each time I click it nothing happens. I made a copy of the file to my desktop and I have done this before successfully but now it's not working

[hallow patio]

your entire mod folder?

[jaunty geode]

yes. i tried separating it into 2 folders and it still isn't working. and not the whole SDV folder. just the mod loadout

[hallow patio]

interesting, if you've copied the mod folder to your desktop and then right click the folder and zip it, should just do it? it might take a while depending on how many mods you have

[jaunty geode]

yh but nothing happens and it's been like 10mins or trying and nothing popped up saying that it is compressing the folder. is the file potentially too big?

[hallow patio]

i have 300 mods i will test this

gimme a bit

but i dont believe the size of the file should affect your ability to zip

[jaunty geode]

ok wait i sorted them to even smaller folders and now it's working

tysm for the help tho 🙂

[hallow patio]

no worries, yeah i just tried to zip mine and it worked fine but whatever works for you!

[opaque fiber]

i have a question how can i use a custom portrait in farmer portrait mod?

[hearty steppe]

anyone knows why UI infosuit doesnt work ? is installed correctly and smapi doesnt give any errors or anything ?

[long brook]

!uiinfosuite

[native dragon]

If you go to https://github.com/Annosz/UIInfoSuite2/releases, you can find UI Info Suite 2, which works with Stardew 1.5.5+. Download the first zip, not the source code.

[hearty steppe]

thank you

[long brook]

Did you install the one from github?

[hearty steppe]

no from nexus

[dusty spruce]

i doubt you'd get no errors in that case

but yeah, use the Github one

[rotund moth]

Hey there! Could anyone tell me which versions of these particular mods:
[ Content Patcher >
Custom NPC Exclusions >
Expanded Preconditions Utility >
Extra Map Layers >
Farm Type Manager (FTM) >
Json Assets >
SAAT - Audio API and Toolkit >
Shop Tile Framework >
SpaceCore > ]
Are compatible with smapi Android version 3.7. 6. 10 as the latest version of these mods require smapi 8+ and I wanna add the stardew expanded mod to my game.

Question I just thought about. I have my Microsoft store on my laptop. If I download Stardew from there, will it be able to be molded or do I have to buy the game again for specifically the pc to mod my games?

[neat plaza]

what?

[verbal widget]

I'm wondering if I have to buy the game again to mod it.
I played originally from the Xbox. However I can download the game to my laptop through my Microsoft store. I'm wondering if having it on the laptop would allow it to become modded or if I'll need to buy a different version to get modded games

[long brook]

Is microsoft store the same as xbox gamepass?

[neat plaza]

the ms store version works for mods

[neat plaza]

gamepass is just store games so should be

[ionic leaf]

Hello. In which *.xnb file can I find the description of the animals (Chicken, Rabbit, Sheep?

[neat plaza]

what description?
why are you asking in the using mods support channel?

[ionic leaf]

You need a mod. For example, I would look for this text on the chicken: "Well cared-for adult chickens lay eggs every day. Lives in the coop. "

[neat plaza]

no, i don't need a mod

[ionic leaf]

The Paritee's Better Farm Animal Variety mod reads the description of the basic game's animals from somewhere in English, but I need the Hungarian one. I'm playing in Hungarian, but the English text appears for the animals in the base game.

[dawn pagoda]

i need help with installing smapi on the deck everytime i try to execute the install.sh nothing happens

i think i found an solution

[verbal widget]

I am so lost right now

I'm following a guide to install the smapi for the Xbox app and the final step says to copy the address bar at the top. What does it mean by address bar

[lament vortex]

When you open the file explorer, there's a bar on top that shows the path of the folder you are now

[verbal widget]

The list of cores?

[lament vortex]

No? It's a horizontal bar on top side of the file explorer

Can you open your file explorer and show a screenshot

[lament vortex]

That thing where its says This Pc > Windows > Xbox Games

That's what you have to copy

[verbal widget]

The image above is the game folder right?

[lament vortex]

Yes

[verbal widget]

So do I have to do anything special to download the mods too?

Well I messed something up

Game won't open

[lament vortex]

To download mods, you just need to unzip and put them in your mods folder

[verbal widget]

Yeah I'll come back to that. Right now I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong

With the smapi I mean

[lament vortex]

Also - Did you follow the instructions to rename Stardew? Because when I did that, It wouldn't open for me either

[verbal widget]

I did

[lament vortex]

Just leave file names as is

[verbal widget]

So give them back their original names?

[lament vortex]

Yep

[verbal widget]

Do I delete the copy?

[lament vortex]

What copy Gimme a min to read the instructions

[lament vortex]

On yeah, delete the copy

Just keep the original Stardew and the StardewModdingAPI

[verbal widget]

Lol, the game jump scared me

The second the I gave it back it's name it opened

Okay. Now that that's working again. What do you mean by unzip

[lament vortex]

!unzip

[native dragon]

Files with the extension .zip, .rar, or .7z are archive files, which you can extract to get the actual files inside. For a .zip file, just right-click (or long-press on Android) it and choose the option like extract or uncompress. For .rar and .7z, you need to install third-party software first, like 7-zip https://7-zip.org on Windows, Keka https://keka.io on macOS, PeaZip https://peazip.github.io on Linux, or ZArchiver https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver on Android.

[verbal widget]

So are they in my game file when I download and then right click it there?

[lament vortex]

When you download, they go into your downloads folder

You can unzip there and move only the folder (not the zip) to your mods folder

[verbal widget]

So this...

Wait

Compress to Zip

[lament vortex]

No, that's to make a folder into a zip

You need to extract

[verbal widget]

So the extract all

[lament vortex]

So yes, the option you were showing in the screenshot

[lament vortex]

Yep

[verbal widget]

And I extract it into the stardew folder?

[lament vortex]

Sure, yeah, just make sure it's the mod folder

[verbal widget]

That's not bad actually. I thought it would be harder.

Thank you greatly for your patience and helping me out with my 1st pc mods

[lament vortex]

no problem! hope u enjoy

[fallow remnant]

hello so uh, i have been playing a modded save for the past couple days and i go to play and the save is gone??? or it seems like i have the save but the file went all the way back to day 1

@woeful plover

Go to your game install folder

And you'll see Stardew valley, and you'll also see smapi

[woeful plover]

sight

[quiet token]

There are two different files to launch them

[woeful plover]

hold on

i pirated my game

so

[quiet token]

Yikes

Idk how to help you there lol but I think it should be the same deal

[woeful plover]

oh ok

[quiet token]

But as long as smapi installed successfully then you should be able to mod in pirated versions

[woeful plover]

wait

can i stream it

so you can like give me directions

[quiet token]

Sure

Stream in dms,I don't think you can in this server

[woeful plover]

yeah

[verbal widget]

Did I miss a step. I browsed mods, downloaded what I wanted, and then extracted all them into the mod file for the game.
I started up the game but none of the mods are active

[neat plaza]

did you open smapi

or vanilla

[verbal widget]

I'm not sure

[neat plaza]

what file did you click on

[verbal widget]

The one pinned to my taskbar

[scarlet quail]

sounds like you booted vanilla

you need to boot StardewModdingAPI

not StardewValley

[verbal widget]

I didn't realize it was 2 games now. I think I opened the right one

Yep cause there's more pet options.

Thank you again 😊

[orchid salmon]

how do i fix this?
i tried to add stone floors as a connector for the automate mod and that happend

[neat plaza]

!json

[native dragon]

JSON is a standard format for machine-readable text files, often used by Stardew Valley mods. If you need help with a JSON file, you can upload it to https://smapi.io/json, view an automatic validation summary on that page, and share the link with others.

[scarlet quail]

yeah looks like you forgot a comma there

but the validator will tell all

Im currently playing expanded on the Grandpa's Farm with my friend. He is the host. His map is also updated but my isnt. So if i look on the map it shows me a different farm. Is there a way to fix this?

Generally if you restart the game this helps—this is a bit of a known synch bug, although since it's a MP bug it's much harder to debug/people have only looked into it a little

Before I go any further, are there mods for the Android app version?

[neat plaza]

The Android version of the game is quite a bit different from other ports and so needs a custom version of SMAPI. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Android for details on getting started.

only if you search sitewide

as long as you're in stardew, it'll only show results for stardew

Can someone help me install mods? I installed SMAPI but for some reason mods dont show up in a new mod folder and I cant find it

[lament prairie]

Windows Mac or linux?

[stuck peak]

Windows

[lament prairie]

Did you run the installer and did it finish with green text?

[stuck peak]

Yes

I put it in steam and everything

But, when I go to install a mod I dont get the premade mod folder

nor can i find it

I tried installing content patcher

[lament prairie]

Okay, do you have a log?

!log

[native dragon]

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

[lament prairie]

Try the instructions at the link

[stuck peak]

OK let me try it

[lament prairie]

If it tells you the log folder doesn’t exist that’s a hint the install may not have worked

[scarlet quail]

Or you installed in wrong area

[lament prairie]

You will want to have launched the game at least once first

[stuck peak]

I just got a PC so I probably didnt install it right im so bad with computers

i did it on my laptop and it was ok tho idk whats wrong but let me check the link real quick

[scarlet quail]

Suggestion- on steam, click stardew, click the cog, manage, browse local files, send a screenshot

[stuck peak]

no pop up comes up

[scarlet quail]

You clicked browse local files and file explorer didn't pop up????

[stuck peak]

wait ok im gonna send a screenshot can u tell me where to put content patcher i think i pulled it up

it popped up it was really slow hold on

[scarlet quail]

Unzip that content patcher folder to that mods folder

Do not just move it, unzip it

[stuck peak]

do i move the unzipped file to the mods folder?

[scarlet quail]

Yes

[wet rune]

Where does it say what mods are available on android when I go to Nexus Mod?

[stuck peak]

so, once i move it into the mods folder, thats all i need to do? unzip, then move to mods folder?

[scarlet quail]

It either says on mod page or you have to look for upload date from Dec 20 2020 or before avrpearn

Yes, pam

[stuck peak]

Thank you so much. You were really helpful and quick

[wet rune]

Says where on the mod page?

[stuck peak]

I appreciate u so much, have a good day

[wet rune]

Because none ever seen to list any kind of compatibility stuff... Just what it does and who made it

[scarlet quail]

In description, but not all have

That's why I said two ways

[wet rune]

Okay. So uploads before Dec 20/2020?

[scarlet quail]

Mhm

[wet rune]

?

[gaunt gust]

You're best off looking around id 7000 or less

[wet rune]

I ... Don't know what that means.

But I found a mod from 2019 that lets me walk through things. This could work.

[robust bison]

just use an old version of noclip

[dire fractal]

Still can't figure this one out, I don't know what mod could be causing it.

but i checked and i have every single one

is there one i need thats not listed/

[neat plaza]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[scarlet quail]

the log will tell us which dependency you're missing, pam, and if said dependency is not loading for some reason

you might have a double copy of a mod which is causing it to not load and that dominoes

[wet rune]

I thought someone said noclip wasn't on mobile?

[neat plaza]

it is

[scarlet quail]

you misunderstood, pretty certain people point blank said there was on mobile

[stuck peak]

It's telling me im missing a file but when i check my mods folder all of them are in there

[scarlet quail]

again

give the log, we'll see what it's saying

you might have it in there but duplicated somehow and it errors. Log's easiest way for us to help

[stuck peak]

okee sorry

[scarlet quail]

there ya go. Although next time it'd be better to give the log as a link in here

[neat plaza]

and share the link here?

[scarlet quail]

reinstall SVE entirely

the main file of SVE should have several subfolders

your mod is saying it doesn't have any of them

[stuck peak]

oooo okay

[stuck peak]

myb ill remember for next time

so i delete sve and then reinstall? or it doesnt matter if i delete it or not?

[neat plaza]

delete it

[scarlet quail]

delete it first

[summer rose]

hey so im trying to download the new smapi, but when i open the installonwindow.bat, it opens then closes instantly without updating. any ideas?

[scarlet quail]

might want to check if your antivirus is stopping it or something

you also should check you unzipped it so it can run normally

[wet rune]

@scarlet quail maybe. Also sometimes I'm not sure who is talking to me and who isn't. X.x

[wet rune]

I'm sorry again. I'm going through the steps to install the APK and it says: enable unknown source. But there is no option on my phone for unknown source.

There is Install unknown Apps but uncertain which I have to 'allow' it's a Samsung a20

[wet rune]

Is that what I'm looking for? And if so, what app am I allowing to install?

Also, this sounds stupid but I can't find a DOWNLOAD button on the page for the mod?

[wet rune]

Hello?

[hoary bane]

That's right.

[hoary bane]

On mobile? You'd have to click on the white/grey tab and open the small drop-down menu.

[wet rune]

There's grey and white tabs all over.....

[lament vortex]

You need to tap where it says Viewing: Description

It will open that drop down menu

And then tap where it says files

[wet rune]

Ok thanks. I found it!

Sorry I'm an idiot. Is there a how to on finding my mods folder, or the main stardew valley folder on android?

I read that three times. It saud to unzip the files Into Mods folder but doesn't say where the mods folder is

[lament vortex]

keep reading

or like, scroll down

[wet rune]

It stops after find mods. Maybe it's not loading right for me

[lament vortex]

lol its right after that part

just a sec

/storage/emulated/0/StardewValley/Mods

[wet rune]

Why doesn't anyone believe me?? It scrolls and stops at the bottom of Find Mods for me then gives me the ending stuff for the webpage.

[lament vortex]

that's where it should be by default

[wet rune]

Okay, but how do I FIND that spot?

[lament vortex]

first of all, calm down, im not saying i dont believe you, i just found it funny that what you wanted was right after the last thing that loaded for you

[wet rune]

Sorry.

There's a stardew valley folder but no emulated or mods folders inside it.

[radiant osprey]

is there any way to reload the mods list without reopening the game? takes too long

[lament vortex]

ive never modded android so im unsure how to help here perhaps its in your internal storage

[long brook]

Unfortunately no

[radiant osprey]

😦

[wet rune]

Yes but there's still no mods folder or emulated folder. 😦

[lament vortex]

i have to ask - have you installed smapi already?

if yes, you could try to reinstall and see

[wet rune]

I don't know anymore.

[lament vortex]

try to reinstall ig

[wet rune]

I'll see. I don't even know what I'm doing anymore I had to go fknd x to do Y and then Z to do Y and none of the Google searches actually helped me find how to do any of that. Maybe I should step away for a few.

[hoary bane]

!androidsmapi

[native dragon]

The Android version of the game is quite a bit different from other ports and so needs a custom version of SMAPI. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Android for details on getting started.

[wet rune]

I got the right one. The thing is, the instructions for permissions etc... Didn't match what was on my phone. There is no Unknown Source for example.

[brazen mortar]

I don't know if I have mods that alter requirements but my SMAPI has no errors so- It's spring 16 y1 and I'm yet to get either the cave cutscene with demetrius (36k total earnings) or the pet cutscene with Marnie

[wet rune]

Ok its installed. I moved the files from the zip into the mods folder
.... So it should work?

[halcyon igloo]

ok so the more new fish sprites disappear on my farm but when i change maps they're okay again? the mystery continues

[lament vortex]

it should, if you open the modded game

[wet rune]

Didn't realize it installed a different game file.

[halcyon igloo]

anyone ever have this overlapped texts with lookup anything?

[wet rune]

I think o did it wrong. I move the entire unzipped folder into mods, not the files inside the folder?

[halcyon igloo]

the entire folder

with the contents inside

[wet rune]

Ok that explains it. Thanks!

[tribal trout]

hi! when my friend goes onto their server in smapi stardew, the invite code doesnt show. anyway on how to fix this?

[wet rune]

HRM. Noclip was updated in 2021, after the cutoff for Mobile. And I don't have an f11 to enable it....

[scarlet quail]

there's an old file for noclip

will be pre-Dec 2020

[wet rune]

Ah ok. Lemme look again.

Wait I may be looking on the wrong mod page. I'm on nexus.

[spark parcel]

Does exist a mod where you can buy or get the recipes the games have loaded? including mod recipes of course

Looktoanything can tell you what the recipe need to be cooked, but it doesn't say how to get the recipe

[scarlet quail]

nexus is the right page for the old file

and Pathos made Noclip so I'm also preeeeeeeetty sure that's got a mobile version all set up

[wet rune]

Oh derp. I fou d it. It is definitely not loading the entite page tonight.

[wet rune]

Next issue: I wanted a tuxedo cat, but the mods say to replace cat.xsomething but that doesn't seem to be on mobile. Even the older mods pre 2020 say this. Is this just something not for mobile?

[scarlet quail]

Avrpearn, I do not do this to make you feel bad or anything, I only do this to impress upon you something

!xnbzola

[native dragon]

An XNB mod replaces some of your game's .xnb files to change the game (unlike newer mods that go in your Mods folder). This is an older type of mod that's no longer recommended, and can cause a number of issues. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods for help using them (and a list of alternatives using Content Patcher), and https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Editing_XNB_files for help unpacking & editing them (including for use with Content Patcher).
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/156109690059751424/575085766426886145/ZolasFury.png

[scarlet quail]

Short version: If you cannot convert that mod, and there are no conversions, you should not use that mod because bad things will happen

[wet rune]

Noted. I couldn't find any xnb files to replace anyways. No tuxedo for me!

All of the Cat mods that I can find use those files, or they are too new for my phone. I'll deal.

Tysm

I don't understand the image tho

[scarlet quail]

to be fair, we don't entirely understand it either as Zola appears to have been a former modder

But the short version is simple: XNB mods bad, XNB modders creating mods worse at this point, so tornado is after them

[wet rune]

Gotcha.

I'll settle for a grey tabby then. 🙂

[near terrace]

Might I suggest Elle's Cat Replacements on Nexus? It uses content patcher and won't break your game, and the cat options are utterly adorable

[wet rune]

Ohh
looks maybe ill try in the morning.

But also, I don't think I can open a file in notepad like that. I'll look into it tomorrow when I'm awake though

Thanks!

[gleaming crypt]

I am hoping I might be able to find a solution here.
I am hosting a Game on Stardew VIA SMAPI, but when I do so, and go into settings, I cannot find a join code to give anyone

I can manage to get the Join Game Code to send my friends via Vanilla, but not when running SMAP.
Only mods I'm running are for the Stardew Valley Expanded.

[scarlet quail]

What platform are you on, Lunloth?

Steam, GOG, Gamepass, Mobile, etc.

[gleaming crypt]

Steam

and i followed the instructions for SMAPI

[scarlet quail]

!log then

[native dragon]

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

[gleaming crypt]

Got it to work, for now, but had to completely remove and reinstall SMAPI

If it happens again, i'll grab and post the log

[scarlet quail]

Yeah, that's likely what happened, then. SMAPI likely launched without Steam enabled and so you weren't "logged on"

No logon, no invite code

[hallow patio]

ello, i am still having issue where game is lagging/skipping every 10 in game minutes, i have a lot of mods so process of elimination could take a while... any ideas what might be causing it?

Any reason none of my shoe mods work? I have fashion sense and seasonal cute characters installed and I use the hand mirror from fashion sense but no matter what I do it's just the same boots

[sand whale]

the body works just not the feet

I can't remove the normal farmer botos

[sand whale]

still nothing. It like arguably makes the feet smaller but im still stuck with the boots

[dapper gazelle]

OK next issue: what boots are you hoping to use? I don't see shoes in the folder.

[sand whale]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7331?tab=files#\

[dapper gazelle]

There's two body types that have slightly different feet shapes (shoe 1, shoe 2)

[sand whale]

any of them

[dapper gazelle]

There are no actual shoes

[sand whale]

right, I guess im wondering then how to get the feet to look like this

[dapper gazelle]

there is a configuration, you can either enter shoe1 or shoe2 it looks like

you should be able to either do it manually by popping open the config file or use GMCM.

[sand whale]

I tried doing both of them but they don't show up in game

like my base just looks like the vanilla boots from the game

[dapper gazelle]

you said earlier: "It like arguably makes the feet smaller but im still stuck with the boots"

so this is very confusing and I don't know how to help you b/c I'm getting conflicting messages xD

[sand whale]

oh yeah my bad sorry. Like they look a little smaller but they are still just boots

my bad sorry

you right

[dapper gazelle]

can you provide a screenshot

[dapper gazelle]

ok that looks like the body isn't working at all, not just the feet

[sand whale]

oh damn yeah I could be wrong

I guess the whole mod then lol

[dapper gazelle]

you have both seasonal cute and slightly cuter characters... which I think might be a conflict in and of itself? but did you turn off the farmer option in both of them?

[sand whale]

oh man I didn't even notice that

let me try

[dapper gazelle]

(you only need one for the record. they both cuti-fy the NPC sprites except one has seasonal outfits and the other one doesn't, so your best bet is to remove the slightly cuter one since I'm guessing you want the characters to have seasonal outfits)

[sand whale]

omg that worked thank you so much!

cant believe I didn't catch that lmao. You're a godsend dude

[dapper gazelle]

[radiant osprey]

can someone please send me these 4 files from Content/Maps folder? i replaced them with a really old mod and i'm scared it'll bug my game

Don't use that mod. That's old style of sdv modding

[scarlet quail]

Malke you can just verify your game files - which isn't contained in the zola command

one sec

!xnb

[native dragon]

XNB mods often break the game and are not recommended. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods for more info (and a list of Content Patcher alternatives), and https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files to fix problems caused by XNB mods.

[long brook]

!reset

[native dragon]

See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files for instructions on resetting your game files! (This doesn't affect your save files.) You may also want to check this list of XNB > Content Patcher conversions (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods#Alternatives_using_Content_Patcher) to see if there are already replacements for any XNB mods you may have been using :)

[scarlet quail]

I gotta bug a mod about that at some point

eh, when I next remember

[long brook]

As you're here lyoko, do you know why !list command isn't working in governor mansion?

[scarlet quail]

hmmm

works for me

[long brook]

Only showing the sentences, not the whole list of command like before

[radiant osprey]

is there like a folder to download with the original files or smth or do i need to reinstall the game fr

im kinda dumb when it comes to stardew modding 😦

[scarlet quail]

Just.... verify the files Malke

[long brook]

Refer to reset command above

[scarlet quail]

we called the command for each. it isn't "reinstall"

it literally will just reset the content files

so whatever you modified, it'll redownload, and everything else stays untouched

[dire fractal]

hi, im sorry this is probably a very silly question, but I'm trying to change the % of asking my partner for a baby, and well... I know about finding config files and editing, but the thing is i can't open it in notepad, it always asks me to like get an app (window 10 on pc, yes i have the smapi, this is my first time editing a mod this way)

i cant seem to either view it nor edit it rip

[scarlet quail]

when you click to open with an app, click "more apps"

Notepad will be under there

Also, most mods can be edited in GMCM

!gmcm

[native dragon]

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.

[dire fractal]

ohhh i never notice the more app

[lament vortex]

Bea, if this is about DSV, I would recommend you join the DSV server and post your issue there

[stuck goblet]

Right, so I'm having some serious issues.

First, I'm playing Stardew on my steam deck. That means I had to disable the smapi terminal and I'm not sure where else to access the error log.

Second, I'll post the screenshot of the problem

By trial and error I've figured out that it's almost certainly because on reinstalling the mods, to fix the SVE quest bug, Fashion Sense messed up.

Trying to uninstall Fashion Sense or any mod makes the game send me back to the opening screen when I even try to open the load game page

I've tried verifying the integrity of fame files (and fixing smapi) multiple times. Reinstalled twice. It comes back to this exact error.

Replacing my avatar with a content patcher sprite doesn't change anything.

Ideally I'd like to remove Fashion Sense without breaking my game, since it's supposed to return you to vanilla items

I've spent 16 hours trying to fix this and I give up. Is the save too broken?

Thank you

Note:steam deck runs on linux

[neat plaza]

is there not a file manager?

[stuck goblet]

Also: I've tried removing fashion sense items in game. Not only does that not fix anything, but even having the game open with this glitch makes it miserable

[stuck goblet]

You mean like folders? Yeah. That's how anything installs on linux

[neat plaza]

so why can't you access the error log

[stuck goblet]

I don't think I know what it looks like. I've never had to before.

I'll go look now

Error handler?

I can't find anything I can open in here

[neat plaza]

that is a mod

!log you go to your errorlogs folders

[native dragon]

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

[stuck goblet]

There isn't even an ErrorLogs folder. I'm going to try running it after I make the folder and see if it creates something

[scarlet quail]

This part essentially tells us you have to reinstall SMAPI. Error Handler takes care of that

[stuck goblet]

I did reinstall SMAPI. multiple times

[scarlet quail]

Creating an error logs folder will not help

[stuck goblet]

Like probably over 10 times at this point. Otherwise nothing works after I verify the integrity of my game files

It'll just do this "looking for save files" for infinite amount of time

[scarlet quail]

Then something is screwed up with your mod install entirely, because what you're describing literally isn't possible with the mod removal thing

[stuck goblet]

The reason I wonder if it might is because it deleted the save folder too, but making a blank folder let the saves restore itself from the backup

[scarlet quail]

But that second error implies a corrupted save

[stuck goblet]

The only sign of the corruption is my avatar skin is a completely solid color box based on what fashion sense items I'm wearing at what color and it's taxing my game

And the fact it stressed the game out to the point of crashing

[scarlet quail]

Here's an example steam deck log

[stuck goblet]

I hate to start all over but I think I might have to

[scarlet quail]

Gelasia "looking for save games infinitely" and "avatar skin visible" are incompatible

One or the other happens, not both

[stuck goblet]

Right but that's the thing, it fixed itself after I created a Save folder

I don't know why the Saves folder was massing

*missing

Especially since steam cloud should have backed it up

[scarlet quail]

Tbh this sounds like your steam deck has really, really shitty file creation perms

This would disallow the creation of error handler,as well as Folders you need

[stuck goblet]

I wouldn't be surprised. I'm pretty sure they shouldn't have even announced the deck release for years

[scarlet quail]

So this sounds like more of an issue with your deck itself

No the steam deck is fine,i'm talking about your specific steam deck

[stuck goblet]

Do you think that's why the save doesn't want to allow me to remove mods?

[scarlet quail]

Error Handler comes with SMAPI, without it you really can't remove mods

[stuck goblet]

Well I have Error Handler, I just don't have ErrorLogs

[scarlet quail]

I would honestly bet you have a settings issue

Alright, then boot game w/o Fashion Sense

[neat plaza]

where are you looking for errorlogs?

[scarlet quail]

Then load game

[stuck goblet]

Where Governor's link said to look on Linux

The problem with files might be that to run on steam deck you have to modify in konsole to not have the smapi terminal pop or it just won't run

As far as error logs go

[scarlet quail]

Yeah that's a save corruption issue

And I could swear that's not how it works for steam deck and SMAPI terminal but shrug

[stuck goblet]

I had to Google a bunch of tutorials, that's all I knew to do.

I guess it's time to start over

I hate to use the cheat console for anything major but I don't have the patience to do everything over again

Thank you for your help

[chrome osprey]

i was tryna download smapi and stuff and ive messed it up entirely

[neat plaza]

how so

i just dont know what im doing

i moved files but its alright i moved them back

but idk what to do now

[neat plaza]

!gettingstarted

[native dragon]

If you would like a guide to setting up mods for Stardew Valley, check out the getting started guide! https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide

[halcyon igloo]

how did the install go?

[chrome osprey]

idk what im doing wrong

[lament prairie]

You’re using SMAPI 3.10.1

[chrome osprey]

is that the wrong one]

[lament prairie]

This is wildly out of date

And incompatible with the current game version

[chrome osprey]

oh which one do i need to do

[lament prairie]

The latest one from SMAPI.io

Have you been following the guide?

Either when you’re installing SMAPI it’s not working (and you have a very old copy of SMAPI already installed) or you’re installing SMAPI from a very old installer somehow

[chrome osprey]

i downloaded it from the website so thats weird

yea i probably do somehow

[lament prairie]

Okay, probably case 1 then

When you run the installer, do you get green text?

If so, send a screenshot of that window here

[chrome osprey]

this is the right version?

[lament prairie]

Yep

[chrome osprey]

thats what i got before

idk how to see if i have an old one installed the files are confusing

[halcyon igloo]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/12560?tab=description is there a way to get this to work for mod flowers?

[chrome osprey]

how dso i delete the old version i have

i dont wanna get rid of the wrong files lol

[scarlet quail]

SMAPI cleans up after itself

just hit install again

it should detect the old and toss out the old

brain, work better please XD

[lament prairie]

You’d probably have to manually change mod flowers for each one

[halcyon igloo]

sadge

[chrome osprey]

its not working i might just give up lmao

[lament prairie]

Yeah, I strongly believe the mod just changes each vanilla flower manually

[scarlet quail]

rolls eyes you didn't even tell us what you did, natasha. Let's start with the basics

you downloaded the smapi installer. Did you unzip it?

[chrome osprey]

yes

[scarlet quail]

Now, assuming you're on windows, did you run the install on windows.bat?

[chrome osprey]

no?

[scarlet quail]

are you not on windows?

or are you?

[chrome osprey]

i was following a youtube video

yeah i am

[scarlet quail]

run that, then

don't follow the YT video

[neat plaza]

did you upzip it

[chrome osprey]

yeah

[near terrace]

Took a look at the mod's content.json, yeah, that's exactly what it does. It has a set of config options, and edits the object data of each flower to force a single colour.

[scarlet quail]

blinks eh? you... unzipped the folder, yes? If so, can you send us the screenshot of the unzipped folder?

That's usually the error you get when it's still zipped

[chrome osprey]

Wait unzip, i did extract is that diff? sorry im not used to this stuff..

[near terrace]

Extract is exactly what you need to do dw

[scarlet quail]

extract should be the same. Can you send us a screenshot of the folder you're clicking the install on windows in, though?

[halcyon igloo]

wonder if i can automate the edit of this somehow lol

[scarlet quail]

Because it should create a different folder, so you might be going into the zipped folder again

[scarlet quail]

Yeah I think that's still in the zip, though I can't tell for sure

Because the installer isn't two levels deep normally

[near terrace]

Haha that would be nice, wouldn't it? I have so many crop flowers that add colour variants and I really wouldn't mind forcing one colour.

[chrome osprey]

oh wait i clicked wrong one i think

[near terrace]

I think Natasha did extract to [folder] instead of just extract here

[halcyon igloo]

i'd have to learn how they added the flowers. still new to modding

but a python script to add text should be easy right??

[scarlet quail]

yeah no that's still two levels deep natasha

I don't think you're clicking on the extracted folder

So let's go even simpler

[scarlet quail]

click the left one

[chrome osprey]

is the one on the left not the extractedone

i did

[halcyon igloo]

no zipper = extracted

zipper = compressed

[near terrace]

I'm no coder, so I couldn't rightly say. check #making-mods-general ?

[scarlet quail]

that is very strange. That shouldn't be possible for it to be two levels deep post-extraction

[chrome osprey]

this is what happens

when i press the left one

[halcyon igloo]

if i do extract to */ i think it does two levels

[near terrace]

I think she extracted the zip's contents to a folder by the same name as the zip, resulting in the two levels

[halcyon igloo]

but i use 7-zip

[near terrace]

thasswhat I've been saying

[scarlet quail]

OH! that's .... probably why

[chrome osprey]

it only says extractc all i did that

[scarlet quail]

okay. So natasha, do me a favor

[chrome osprey]

idk whay im nmeant to download otherwise

[halcyon igloo]

just move the folder

[scarlet quail]

that SMAPI 3.18.1 installer folder inside the unzipped folder?

Move it to the desktop

Then try running it

it being the install on windows.bat

[chrome osprey]

breuhhh

[fading inlet]

hey i’m trying to download smapi but this pops up everytime no matter how many different things i try to do

[chrome osprey]

it already is on the desktop tho

[chrome osprey]

cuz isnt it that

[neat plaza]

that sn'rt the stardew location

thats the installer

[scarlet quail]

close the installer, natasha, for the "in use" portion

But yes, move it to a diff folder, not desktop, my apologies

Anything not within that folder should work. My SMAPI installers, for example, are in a "Stardew Mods (unzipped)" folder

[chrome osprey]

i only have my files open, so where do i move it to?

[fading inlet]

ah so where should i go to install smapi

[neat plaza]

anywhere

not hte game folder

and the installer folder doesn't contain the sdv dll

[chrome osprey]

i dont get how its open

[scarlet quail]

close everything on the taskbar, then

perhaps it's somehow in use by something

[chrome osprey]

yeah its not workijg idk what the problem is

i did this so easily last time 💀

[scarlet quail]

Well, there's one way to force the computer to deffo stop using it

Restart your computer

[fading inlet]

wait ok im confused im not fully understanding the install bit

[neat plaza]

unzip the installer to your dekstop or smth

[scarlet quail]

sweaty: Unzip your installer to the desktop, then run the install program. You want the installer to hopefully auto-detect where Stardew is installed

based on the directory, I assume you have the game on Steam. So, click the cog on Stardew in steam, hover over manage and go to Stardew local files

That will be the game path you want, specifically.

[fading inlet]

oh ok ok do i need to download that winRAR to be able to do that

[chrome osprey]

am i moving the whole folder or do i hjighlight everything in and put it in new folder, just checking

[scarlet quail]

Uh, no. Windows should automatically unzip it, sweatyfeeties, using Extract All when you rightclick

natasha: move the entire folder into a different folder

[fading inlet]

ok ok thank u sorry for not understanding

[chrome osprey]

ok yeah that wont work still

[scarlet quail]

The one inside the one on the desktop, mind you

you restarted the computer and it says it's somehow open in another program??

[gaunt gust]

Restart your computer

Sometimes you may have to do that

[scarlet quail]

Is... is that even possible?

No computer process I know survives a restart

it can come back if it's set up again but like.... it has to... restart, yeah?

[halcyon igloo]

i should record a gif

[neat plaza]

for unzipping?

i think i had one somewhere

[neat plaza]

i wonder if using the thing in powertoys could be an option

[chrome osprey]

it moved now

[scarlet quail]

Okay whew

So just to check

when you click into the folder you moved, you see the install on windows bat, right?

not the SMAPI installer folder again?

[scarlet quail]

I'm curious as to what powertoys is, but I'm sadly lacking in time to learn since after I make sure natasha's got their stuff I gotta do a few things

[chrome osprey]

when i type windoiws bat it doesnt come up witg anything to run aanymore

[scarlet quail]

you... don't want to type windows ba-

[neat plaza]

https://github.com/microsoft/powertoys

[scarlet quail]

Oh my goodness is that why we've been having problems

Natasha

open the folder

double click on install on windows

[chrome osprey]

i did that before and it opened this hah

[scarlet quail]

that was before

do it now that we've moved it

and double click, do not type to run anything

do not open a command prompt window yourself, that should only be done via the installer program

[chrome osprey]

where does it say this?

[scarlet quail]

Inside the SMAPI installer folder!

open the smapi installer folder. Screenshot what's inside, show us

[fading inlet]

ok so it’s still saying the same thing and i’ve followed what you have said but also i will say as i’m watching youtube videos mine does not say like “install on windows.bat”

[chrome osprey]

oh yeah i see it

[scarlet quail]

This is why we don't recommend the YT videos

[fading inlet]

this might be easier if i record what i’m doing and y’all spot out what i’m doing wrong

[scarlet quail]

It's "install on windows" there, natasha

double click it

[chrome osprey]

oky

[scarlet quail]

the .bat is the file extension, which you should see to the right of it

[near terrace]

please please please do not use youtube videos for this sort of thing, they become outdated and sometimes can have incorrect info.

[scarlet quail]

wooo it's working!

[chrome osprey]

what nuymber am i meant to do

[near terrace]

type 1 and press enter yayyy

[fading inlet]

ahhh i’m sorry i was struggling but i’m glad i have y’all to help me rn

[scarlet quail]

Unless you installed SMAPI in a different drive, hit 1 and press enter like Quill said

[chrome osprey]

it shouild be installijng now

thank you so so much

[scarlet quail]

No probs!

now I gotta go so gl to you guys

[chrome osprey]

can i just shut that?

[scarlet quail]

I'll be on mobile in a bit but for now, gotta jet

[dusty spruce]

Do follow whatever the green text says though

[scarlet quail]

(yes, you can, natasha)

[chrome osprey]

how do i get like the launch icon on my desktop

[near terrace]

yeah you can close it now

[chrome osprey]

isnt it just for achievements

[near terrace]

You use Steam, yeah?

[chrome osprey]

yes

[near terrace]

You can also launch the game through steam with your launch options set, it's very convenient

[dusty spruce]

It’s for running it from Steam instead of vanilla

[near terrace]

!launchoptions

[native dragon]

If you're using Steam or GOG on Windows, you will need to set your launch options in order for Steam/GOG to automatically launch with SMAPI. The SMAPI installer will tell you what to set as the launch options when it completes (green text). You can find instructions (with screenshots) on how to do that here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows#Configure_your_game_client

[chrome osprey]

oh yeah

[dusty spruce]

I personally use the „add non-Steam game” option instead

And add StardewModdingAPI.exe

[neat plaza]

if you want a desktop shortcut as opposed to steam launch options/non steam game
go into your game folder, right click on StardewModdingAPI.exe and press create shortcut, and copy tht to your desktop

[near terrace]

Don't worry about it.

!gettingstarted

[halcyon igloo]

i do this too! i had a mod group for when i was doing an SVE run but now i have a different modgroup for just the general modded game i've been playing

but if i ever want to go back to that SVE run then i can just launch the mod group

[chrome osprey]

let me test it now 😆

[near terrace]

Yeah this is good too

[dusty spruce]

Yeah, it’s pretty convenient

I have one for mod development, and another for actually playing, AND ofc the actually-Steam vanilla just in case

[chrome osprey]

ok it isnt doing anything

[near terrace]

Ooo I need to do this

[neat plaza]

add text to what?

[halcyon igloo]

just generate a CP content.json that would edit the JA-added flowers to have a single color lol

[neat plaza]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[halcyon igloo]

a la Less Annoying Flowers

[neat plaza]

wonder how hard that'd be

[halcyon igloo]

i think if i just understood the format of addition then it would be easy

[chrome osprey]

okay so the game launches now with the modded launcher but theres not actually any mods in the game

[halcyon igloo]

i just keep trying to do it between work things and it's not enough for me to get it lol

without being able to like sit down with it

but if someone just gave me the format lol ez pz

[neat plaza]

you need to... install mods

[chrome osprey]

i did

[neat plaza]

did you unzip them

are they in the mods folder

what icon does the game have

[chrome osprey]

theyre in mod folder im p syre i did unzip, ill double check

one wasnt unzipped, shoulkd be alright now

[young chasm]

Which mod needed to be installed from a 3rd party or smth? Was it UI info suite?

nvm figured it out

[loud bison]

when attempting to use it found 5 mods with warnings, and that they change the save serializer. when I open it anyways, it doesn't have stardew extended intalled

[robust bison]

?

[neat plaza]

so whats the issue...?

[loud bison]

I cannot get the mod to work

[neat plaza]

what mod

[loud bison]

stardew extended

[robust bison]

Hmmm...if I'm trying to play on a Steam Deck.....can I download all the files/mods to an external SSD via my computer then plug and play on the deck? I'm reading the smapi on steamdeck guide but ...i dont even know how to start .... it would be nice to be able to sit in my giant cushion/poof and play on the steamdeck

[ruby fable]

Hey, I am on Linux and I start the game, the SMAPI command prompt open to load the mods but doesn’t load the mods which are currently in the mods folder

No mods, should be running NPC Map locations and a whole bunch of other mods

[lament prairie]

!log but also that looks like a very weird linux-specific issue

[native dragon]

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

[lament prairie]

ex. here's the linux man page on ld.so: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/ld.so.8.html

[gaunt gust]

That's actually normal iirc

Granted, I don't recall much

[lament prairie]

but the ld.so is sad 😦

[ruby fable]

It’s mods not loading issue

Haha

[lament prairie]

Anyways, post a log

That will give a lot more info on why mods aren't loading

[ruby fable]

Can’t find the error logs

[lament prairie]

SMAPI should make error logs on launch

Is the game still launch despite the ld.so sadness?

[ruby fable]

Yes it launches but without any mods

[lament prairie]

Okay, if the game launches, there should be a SMAPI log

[ruby fable]

None of these launches

It’s not in the directed folder log parses is giving

[lament prairie]

When your game is open, what is the icon of the game?

Red MG, normal chicken, or pufferfish-chicken hybrid?

[lament prairie]

Okay, that looks like a red MG

If you expand the bar thingy or hover over, what's the rest of the words?

"Stardew Valley 1.5.6 - run..." in the "..." here

[ruby fable]

This?

Oh

[lament prairie]

What's the title of that window?

[ruby fable]

The tab

[lament prairie]

Full title

[lament prairie]

The rest of the title should say how many mods it believes it's running

[ruby fable]

Just the 3

The usual 3

Not any other one

[lament prairie]

Okay, so your mods folder where you're putting mods is different from the mods folder it's pulling from

[scarlet quail]

^

The log would tell you the mods folder

So either find your log or find the right mods folder by searching for SaveBackup

[gaunt gust]

It's hidden folders

You'll need to enable hidden folders to see them

[ruby fable]

Don’t see anything

When hidden folders opted in

[lament prairie]

ah, a new error!

this is the ubuntu thing, I think?

where ubuntu now has a too-new version of libssl

Try installing OpenSSL 1.x

[ruby fable]

What’s the sudo command for it

I did sudo apt install ssl

No updates needed

[lament prairie]

It's not an update, it's a revert/parallel install of older version

https://www.openssl.org/source/ try 1.1.1 here?

[ruby fable]

Thank ya

Lemme try this

[karmic wind]

Anyone familiar with how the Xbox app works in Windows 10? My XboxGames folder is empty, but somehow I am able to run Stardew. Trying to figure out where to install SMAPI. I tried using the Browse feature in the Xbox app itself, but nothing happens when I click it.

[neat plaza]

!gamepasssmapi

[native dragon]

Installing SMAPI for Gamepass requires extra steps. Please see the guide here https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows#Xbox_app

[karmic wind]

Yeah, I can't get past step three

[ruby fable]

What I did was;

Uninstall Stardew and told Steam to install SDV on internal hard drive (C:/) instead of external drive (D:/) and when SDV completed it already came with the mods folder for some reason without even installing SMAPI so I deleted the Mods folder it came with, then ran SMAPI and told it to make a mods folder, installed my mods and worked beautifully @lament prairie

Weird as well, I had SDV already before and was using mods perfectly fine but when I ran it again it for some reason wasn’t reading any Mods..

[neat plaza]

reinstall smapi

would be a start

[dusty spruce]

i have a better question

why do you even have PyTK installed

[neat plaza]

and where did error handler go ^

[dusty spruce]

all 3 of the base mods even

[neat plaza]

oh true

[dire fractal]

I removed all of my mods from the folder to focus on Utility Grid.

And I learned nothing

[neat plaza]

don't remove the built in mods...

Utility Grid still hates me

[obsidian cedar]

Hey there, trying to play with a friend and they've got a slew of 26 mods with nearly as many content packs. Any time I go to the area between the back woods and the adventurer's guild, my game completely freezes. Usually this comes in tandem with the cutscene of Willy giving you a copper pan, though my most recent CTD did not involve this cutscene and instead just occurred as I was attempting to enter Linus' tent. Here's a snippet I've put into the smapi parser, the full crash file is 33k KB so I haven't been able to input the whole thing. I'm new to Stardew as a whole so I haven't been able to really figure out what I'm looking at, any help is appreciated. We've reinstalled SMAPI already, double-checking our updates too. Nothing's worked so far.

Our mod list:

Content Packs:

And this information if it means anything

could be that it just straight up doesn't work on macOS, it happens

Sads

ty

I did just check it out in singleplayer and I can go to the same area with absolutely no problem, so maybe it's multiplayer specific.

[dusk lantern]

Hello im a bit confused why when installing smapi, it says that "the system cannot find the path specified, the smepi installer seems to have failed". I had used smepi before the newer update so I had to reinstall this newer version, is there anyway to fix this issue?

[scarlet quail]

That's almost never the case.get us a log From both of you

This is most likely a mod mismatch somewhere

[scarlet quail]

Unzip the installer

[dusk lantern]

Yup did thay

That*

Ran in admin too

[scarlet quail]

Then what's inside the unzipped folder-

[dusk lantern]

Its the installer itself thats failing

[scarlet quail]

Oh god

[obsidian cedar]

[scarlet quail]

Do not run in admin ever

[dusk lantern]

It didn't open when trying to run the batch file

[scarlet quail]

If you ever run start in admin you are never going to be able to reinstall

Never under any circumstance install as administrator

[dusk lantern]

Okay so how am I supposed to open the command prompt to install

When it just doesn't open

[scarlet quail]

Well, let's first verify something

[dusk lantern]

Sure

[scarlet quail]

Screenshot the inside of the unzipped folder for us, please

[dusk lantern]

Well im answering for someone else so 1 sec

[gaunt gust]

One of you guys has old dsv and the other has new dsv

Make sure you guys both have the same versions of dsv

[scarlet quail]

oh, does DSV have a C# component?

or, well, did it?

[dusk lantern]

They sent me this

[gaunt gust]

If you go into the internal dir and thennn iirc windows/smapi.installer.exe

Something like that, I don't recall specifics

[scarlet quail]

It's a little hard to tell from that image if it's actually in the unzipped folder or not

[dusk lantern]

It's not

[scarlet quail]

But at least it's not like the person earlier with the installer two folders deep

[dusk lantern]

I knew you'd ask that.

[scarlet quail]

check what atra told you to, make sure that smapi.installer.exe is in there

[gaunt gust]

(Something like that, don't recall exactly)

[obsidian cedar]

Lmfao nevermind I checked their computer and they didn't update their mods, that was the problem. All things are fixed, thank you for sending this cause I wouldn't have thought to check otherwise

[dusk lantern]

How do you access internal dir

[scarlet quail]

points at internal folder

[dusk lantern]

Man I'm blind

[scarlet quail]

No probs. Mod mismatch is the #1 problem that causes that

Incl. version mismatch

Ah. yeah, I checked my internal folder, OJ, that smapi installer being an exe may have been flagged by a particularly overzealous antivirus

so let us know if it's in there.

[gaunt gust]

No, marigold was Linus's service dog

[dusk lantern]

Sorted it, her computer seems to be really odd about batch files, had this issue before with minecraft too

But yeah its good, thanks

[thorny island]

so im trying to download SMAPI, i have a 2020 macbook air and usually i have no issues because i put my firewall down but it isnt allowing me to click the install on macbook command to download. Any suggestions?

[long brook]

Did you unzip the file first then run the install on mac ?

[thorny island]

yea

[lilac bramble]

Right click and press open

[thorny island]

after i unzip this is what i get but it wont let me run the mac command to download

[thorny island]

that actually worked and let me bypass

[long brook]

Not download, install

[thorny island]

for some reason it wont let you if you just double click which is kinda weird

[lilac bramble]

It’s because Apple doesn’t open unverified files or something like that

[thorny island]

i love and hate apple all at the same time

[lilac bramble]

Same, lmk if the smapi installer works

If it doesn’t you’ll have to manual install

[stuck goblet]

Just a short update, that the new file with Fashion Sense installed glitched while using Fashion Sense and crashed the game, but because it wasn't saved while wearing Fashion Sense items it reloaded just fine and hasn't had an error since.

Whatever it is, triggers via Fashion Sense being worn and only then, so that's a good reason to not use it right now

Thanks for helping me work thru troubleshooting steps
