You definitely can miss a lot of things in the log if you don't comb over it

[robust bison]

I checked the trace and somehow missed that

[long brook]

True, still learning a lot to troubleshoot and help people

[inland elk]

@long brook @scarlet quail @robust bison not sure what part worked but i got rid of vortex and reinstalled all my mods and it works!! thank you three so much!! <3

[near terrace]

Vortex tends to mess up files when installing mods through it, which is why we don't recommend using it. If you'd like to use a mod manager, try Stardrop.

When you manually reinstalled, the installation happened properly because vortex wasn't there to yeet files into the void, thus fixing your issues.

[inland elk]

LOL oh gosh heck vortex then!! tysm

[bronze valley]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6928?tab=description I was wondering would this mod work with a current version of stardew valley?

[scarlet quail]

it should provided you have the correct BFAV version (the unofficial)

[bronze valley]

oh yay thank you :D

[true junco]

Idk if this is the place to ask but I downloaded immersive farm 2 and I cant find the cave that's on the farm. Like the bat or mushroom cave

Is it not on the farm?

[near terrace]

Are you not able to find the entrance to the farm cave?

I think you'd just have to wander around until you find it, if that's the case

[celest barn]

Does this video help? Should be around time stamp 4:35

https://youtu.be/nw4yhHGzj3g

[true junco]

OH! i didnt realise that was the cave, bc i had checked on it before demetrius talked to me about it

ty!!

[celest barn]

Np, I haven’t played with that mod so it took some searching ^^;

[languid yarrow]

Content wise. Should I use ridgeside valley mod or stardew valley expanded mod for mobile?

I don't know why people don't !log in #governors-mansion instead if it's for them.

[languid yarrow]

Same thing as using #modded-stardew for off-topic convo.

[cerulean swallow]

no it's not for me, I just don't know why my game crashed so I wanted to get my log to send it here

[hoary bane]

Didn't we already go over this?

[hoary bane]

That's.. just what I said. But that's alright.

[cerulean swallow]

oh my bad then

anyway is it possible to check what's the issue?

[charred narwhal]

Hi i was using old version SMAPI so I downloaded new version Smapi, but idk whats wrong it's just failed, even when I wanted to uninstall it. Anyone knows about this? ty

[dusty spruce]

you probably already have the game running

you either forgot to close it, or it's stuck

if the former - just close it; if the latter - the easiest would be to just restart the PC

[charred narwhal]

I've already restarted many times 😭 and I checked all the necessary plugins like Content Patcher and Space Core, I updated them all, but still the same

[dusty spruce]

is F: a standard disk? or maybe a network share?

[charred narwhal]

yes it's standard disk

[dusty spruce]

no idea then

try manual install, i guess

!manualinstall

!smapimanualinstall

oh well

[charred narwhal]

alright I'll try, thanks

[sterile vortex]

Hey, im currently played stardew valley modded in steam deck

I am trying to get the smapi logs

But I just being unable to get them

Followed the instructions in smapi.io/log

Can't find the "enter location" option in files

[raven mirage]

Hi I installed SVE on my old save. However, now my greenhouse is floating on the middle of the water. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks for you help alot.

[long brook]

Maybe use Reset Terrain Feature mod to reset placement

[lament vortex]

rtf won't help with this, youd have to go to robin's and move the greenhouse there

[raven mirage]

Is Robin's the carpenter or it is a mod?

[lament vortex]

robin, the carpenter

[raven mirage]

Got it. I'll try to move it.

[finite dust]

So I got a mod to replace the shoes in the game, and it says to copy the files in the mod and replace the ones under Content/Character/Farmer, but the files are png not xnb. if I convert them to xnb and replace them it should work right

[lament vortex]

!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).

[lament vortex]

you were already told this before, i dont understand why you want to do it despite that

[finite dust]

?

[finite dust]

oh sorry you meant this prompt

yep I was but I am getting way too triggered by the shoes, so I'm willing to risk it

sorry

[lament vortex]

ehh ok, just don't come asking for help if something breaks, as we'll always tell you the same thing

[near terrace]

Get fashion sense or JA shoe packs, you don't need to use xnb replacements at all.

[sterile vortex]

I'll ask again, if i get some luck - does anyone know how to reach the smapi logs in steam deck?

atravita to the rescue again

[hoary bane]

What mod is it? There might already be an unofficial conversion out there rather than you needing to replace it.

[atomic dirge]

quick question, does ui info suite2 still work, i understand the old one doesnt, but im curious about 2

[meager valley]

it should

[hoary bane]

It does, that's the whole purpose of there being a second version.

[atomic dirge]

okay, also, any reason why my smapi install keeps failing

[hoary bane]

What's it saying and what platform are you on?

[atomic dirge]

on windows, its saying
The installer failed with an unexpected exception.

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'D:\Program Files\ModifiableWindowsApps\Stardew Valley\smapi-internal' is denied.

would that have something to do with windows defender?

!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

[gaunt gust]

Delete the game and start over

Gamepass changed the system like six months back but people who owned the game before that sometimes run into issues

If that doesn't work delete the game, force gamepass to update, and try again

[atomic dirge]

it worked that time, thanks

[cunning ridge]

Ughhhh

[scarlet quail]

Whoever that npc is they don't have a spouse room

Or if they do it's not being patched in correctly

[cunning ridge]

They do have, but in different folder and it's using TMXL so I guess that's the problem Custom Spouse Rooms has with it?

ahhh, right, my bad with that one, forgot about line in content json in CSR that excatly says that lol

[scarlet quail]

Yeah no tmxl will not work with it you'll have to convert

[cunning ridge]

Time to learn

[scarlet quail]

Thankfully converting spouse rooms is super easy,barely an inconvenience

https://lemurkat.wordpress.com/2022/03/16/translating-a-location-from-tmxl-toolkit-to-content-patcher/

[neat plaza]

you can also use https://github.com/anotherpillow/tmxl2cp :)

[scarlet quail]

Damn,that's right I should've recommended that to the person converting in making mods last night

[cunning ridge]

Much thanksies!

[scarlet quail]

Eh,the spouse room can be converted manually easily, But any maps definitely need that converter

[hoary bane]

This works for spouse rooms as well..? 👀

seems to be an issue with PIL than the tool

well, i guess i'll try to do it manually or find another map

[near terrace]

Which map is it, out of general curiosity?

[lament vortex]

ultimate farm

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6348

[neat plaza]

oh
that'd be quick to manually convert

[halcyon igloo]

wait nonu did u ever get expandable farm lol

slash if you did did you ever trigger the cutscene to get robin to tell you about it LOL

[near terrace]

OH

[halcyon igloo]

also oh that’s the map my first save was on before i yeeted pytk lol

[near terrace]

That's lovely, I think Pillow might be right about manually converting it too

[lament vortex]

i have (probably?) done it

now i just have to go in game and see if i fucked up

[halcyon igloo]

i wish the dig spots still worked for artifacts

it took me weirdly long to find a chicken

[near terrace]

Nonu just so you know, Daisy's since done maps that have features similar to what requires PyTK in this mod using content patcher only, so you can probably reference those while manually converting

[lament vortex]

oh! thank you

im gonna check it out. i love daisy's farms, i could probably use one of the newer ones but i love complicating myself it seems

[near terrace]

I think just another farm map in particular might be a good reference point

[near terrace]

All my farm map mods are made by Daisy lol I love them

[halcyon igloo]

i might try and do ultimate farm again too i've realized that to do raffadax/ppja i need a lot of room lol

[near terrace]

Try Lavender Meadows or Sunflower Acres, they're pretty huge too! Also Capitalist Dream Farm

[halcyon igloo]

oo

nonu also got me changing all my saves lol

but i'm in winter and have like 4 buildings

also i tried to convert ultimate farm when i had started modding and then couldn't get the warps to work out right and got scared lol

slash i think i didn't have the unpacked tilesheets from vanilla for the maps

[near terrace]

Tiled scares me ngl

[halcyon igloo]

@neat plaza if tilesheets are missing from the assets folder is that a problem for the map conversion

[neat plaza]

uhhh

[hoary bane]

Depends.

[neat plaza]

might be, could just be CLI stuff

[hoary bane]

If the tilesheets are vanilla and is originated from the Content/Maps folder, it's probably fine to leave them out.

[halcyon igloo]

i think CLI won't convert the map if they're missing

lemme see lol

[hoary bane]

CLI?

[halcyon igloo]

oh we're good

tiled is fine lol

the command line interface for tiled

[hoary bane]

What in the yoba.

[halcyon igloo]

wait they're supposed to be tbins right

lemme get my head on straight

[hoary bane]

The maps? tbins or tmx yeah.

ok it looks lovely pillow

there are just zero tilesheets so it's ugly lol

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.

!xnbzola

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).

Unfortunately SVE is likely the cause of your lag plus older hardware, as it's performance heavy

!log though might help, depending

[scarlet quail]

Ah, yeah. Okay. So hardware issue on your end mainly, because that GPU is... well, old and based on my research an integrated GPU

I'm glad you don't have PyTK

I only have one suggestion for you then, that may help

!sm

[native dragon]

SpriteMaster (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4922) is a mod that resamples the game's graphics to be smoother and improves performance.

[scarlet quail]

Install that, disable resampling if you don't like the graphical changes

And your game should run faster. But there's only so much you can do with older hardware

You also may want to reinstall SVE, given the error there. (The mountain mist thing)

[hollow vault]

ok, thanks. I will try what you suggested

[warped yacht]

hiya! question does Child Age Up work with multiplayer?

[gaunt gust]

No

[hollow vault]

How to disable resampling?

[scarlet quail]

go into GMCM (your config menu thing on main menu, or under options, look for "mod options" while in-game)

You'll see SpriteMaster, click it, and click the box about resampling

then hit save and the graphics should be back to vanilla

[warped yacht]

thanks

[late finch]

I keep spotting these waterfall corners being a different colour.
(screenshot reference is the waterfall on Immersive Farm Remastered, left side of the map)

recolour im using is Vibrant Pastoral
I also have Daisyniko's tilesheet and Gwen's Medieval DN tilesheet
all set to the same recolour options... is something else causing the mismatch?

[dapper gazelle]

those corners are using a non-vanilla tilesheet that likely doesn't have recolor compat/options

[late finch]

yeah...are they not on Daisyniko's tilesheets?

[dapper gazelle]

I mean, probably not since Daisy has built-in recolor compat with VPR

That waterfall doesn't look like hers

[late finch]

yeah. now that you mention it.

but that just confuses me more lmao. @_@

trying to see why its doing that...

okay I think I found the culprit mod. ill probably be back with more technical questions later if I can't fix it by myself ; ;

okay. uuuh

[cunning ridge]

I think there was fix somewhere on nexus for that? / nvm, that was for Earthy

[dapper gazelle]

I'm not sure what the fix is though since I'm not sure when they were added? I know VPR for SVE exists though it's outdated (though there's a fix for the outdatedness in the comments iirc)

[late finch]

I can probably fix it myself with sprite splicing and basic code shenanigans I just was very hopeful for an easier solution today lmao

but thamks.

I guess I could also just get a newer recolour...

[dapper gazelle]

yeah, I feel ya. But I don't think a newer recolor is going to help unless a fix for that recolor has been made

basically Flash is using his own tilesheets which do not have recolor compat I think

[cunning ridge]

just copy exact recolour parts you need into sve files, shouldn't that fix it easily?

[late finch]

Spotted the comment with the fix from december 14th.

man I love this community. /ugly sobbing

[dapper gazelle]

personally I'd probably swap in some similar tiles from vanilla or daisyniko's tilesheets

that way they'll recolor properly

Has anyone run into this bug? Guessing it's a conflict between Ridgeside Village and SDV Reimagined 3 but SDVR3 says it's compatible with RSV as long as you change 2 config options which I did

[dapper gazelle]

RSV doesn't touch the mountain map though. The conflict with RSV and SDVR3 is the backwoods.

(and festivals, but not relevant here ofc)

[umbral ice]

yeah that's what I thought, but those are the only two mods I have that should change anything outside of the Farm, unless Forest Farm of Secrets and Mysteries changes something in the mountains

[dapper gazelle]

It doesn't

is it possible that Daisy forgot to account for the boulder? xD

[lament prairie]

Is the bug here just that it looks a little off?

[dapper gazelle]

like it looks like it was designed for when that's no longer blocked off

[lament prairie]

It’s possible it will look normal after the Boulder is gone

[dapper gazelle]

which looks to be in a few days based on the date!

[lament prairie]

Since I suspect the boulder is a hardcoded patch

[umbral ice]

oh wait is the boulder being gone a Vanilla thing? I thoguht that was a SDVE thing XD

Out of the Furry Farmer mods, I'm using Anthro Farmer Continued (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7618?tab=bugs)

[lament vortex]

? this is modded support

[gloomy oriole]

Sorry, pulling a conversation from "#making-mods-general" into here

I'm having a unique issue where my farmer loses his tail and gains what looks like a censor bar on the side view, but only wearing certain hats (The beanie and the squire helmet, so far)

[lament prairie]

Is it only the side view?

[gloomy oriole]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/156109690059751424/1054898034460332113/image.png

[lament prairie]

Also, are you using any other mods?

(is the beanie hat a vanilla hat?)

[gloomy oriole]

Only the side view, and I am using many other mods, but I'm pretty sure I've isolated it strictly to this one (I don't have the censor bar issue when I remove the Furry Farmer mod)

Beanie is a vanilla hat, yes

[lament prairie]

Is it precisely the hats which obscure hair entirely?

Farmer base is kind of a hellhole of sprite stuff, but it sounds like the issue is "when the farmer's hair changes, the tail turns into a censor bar"?

Although it's hard to tell if this is on the same layer as the tail

Can you do a few patch exports?

!patchexport

[native dragon]

A patch export makes a copy of specific stuff in your content folder so you can see what changes have been applied.

1. Load up a save (with Content Patcher installed)
2. Type patch export <FILEPATHOFTHING> in the SMAPI console and hit return
3. Look in your patch export folder in the game folder for the relevant json file or image
4. If it's a json file, you can share it via smapi.io/json. If it's an image you should just be able to look at it.

I got a mod for BFAV which adds pigeons but for some reason my pigeons end up turning into chickens when they grow up?

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8540?tab=files&file_id=40519 this mod

[lament prairie]

Are you on mac?

[bronze valley]

nope PC

[lament prairie]

Hmm maybe the bug is spreading?

[bronze valley]

that's ominous haha

[lament prairie]

BFAV is sort of buggy in general due to the author not having updated it in years and it being on unofficial updates

It's actively broken on Mac in the way you describe

[bronze valley]

for some reason my turkey, black guinea fowl (not the tawny ones) and geese work?

[lament prairie]

It's possible the content packs are differently formatted?

I think there's two different content pack formats?

[restive grove]

makes me think of "the ugly duckling"

[distant zodiac]

hi, I'm modding on mobile and I'm mainly trying to get two specific mods to work being wear more rings and bigger backpacks. it's like 2 am and
I cba to figure it out rn

heres my log

sorry if it's obvious I'm just hella tired and stupid rn and wanna get this to work before I sleep

[lament prairie]

I’m not sure these mods work on mobile if they’re throwing these errors

!androidmods

[native dragon]

If you're using SMAPI on Android, you'll need specific older versions of most mods. For a list of many of the most popular mods compatible with android SMAPI, see here https://forums.stardewvalley.net/threads/stardew-valley-mobile-mods-list.13322/. For mods not listed here, they may or may not be compatible with android, but see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Android for more info, including how to find a compatible version of a mod not listed in the first link.

[lament prairie]

Check that you have the right version

[gaunt gust]

More Rings and Wear More Rings are different mods

And I'm not sure Bigger Backpack ever worked on mobile

[lament prairie]

If you have the right version and they still aren’t working then it doesn’t work on mobile

[lament vortex]

Please report bugs on GitHub or Nexus.

    This mod does not support android / mobile.```

From the bigger backpack mod page

Wear More Rings isn't compatible with mobile either ^

[distant zodiac]

yes

I wanted both

[distant zodiac]

ah damn

those ones were the most fun to me

gonna need to get a computer soon

In what sense won't it work?

[long heath]

When I click my npc map location mod key bind it doesn’t work and also when i hit esc and do it manually it also doesn’t work it just closes it as soon as I open jt

[lament prairie]

Hmm looks like ---> FileNotFoundException: Content\Mods/Sevinae.EnchantedGroveFarm/WorldMap.xnb

[long heath]

What’s that mean?

[lament prairie]

Your farm claims it has a world map but it doesn't seem to be existing right now

Enchanted Grove Farm isn't loading the world map patch it should be loading

[long heath]

So do I need a separate mod?

[lament prairie]

I'm not sure if the mod is broken or possibly installed wrong

[scarlet quail]

Also the error handler is older than SMAPI so it might not be removing something

somehow though I think that \Mods/ portion is the problem

[lone dirge]

Hi everyone. I just installed and updated some mods i had, now my game is freezing/taking long to respond. Can anyone tell me the errors? Here's my Smapi log: https://smapi.io/log/bd0148cb874a47438b74f08d14b31ffc

A lot of files under the i18n folder of InstantGrowTrees seem sad

[lone dirge]

Best to just delete the mod compeltely, huh?

[lament prairie]

Other than that it doesn't look too weird

Definitely could do that, you could also try reinstalling potentially

[lone dirge]

Okay thanks, I'll see how that solves things

[summer hull]

i just downloaded the mod again and its the same error. the ui info

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.

[marsh tree]

I know I have some minor errors that aren't good but I'm looking to find out why SMAPI keeps crashing

it takes up the whole screen and doesn't let you switch windows without crashing

also if I don't touch anything while it's loading, it loads a darkened house but gets stuck at that point

[shell willow]

i’d say try updating the mods it says need to be updated first and then if you’re still having issues, we pinpoint the problem

[marsh tree]

I just finished updating everything!

literally today!

[shell willow]

hm, that’s not reflected on your log

i’d take a look at updating or removing these because they are most likely the ones giving you trouble

[ember helm]

Hi folks. I have been playing modded (Stardew Valley Expanded) local multiplayer and everything has been fine so far. But today we had the SDV Fair and since then my partner is unable to damage anything with her weapon. She can do damage with her tools, but weapons are doing nothing. No knockback and no damage. I, as the host, am not having this issue. Any ideas what could have caused this and how I can resolve it? Let me know if you need any additional info. Thanks!

[marsh tree]

Are there newer versions of those mods than what’s on Nexus?

[shell willow]

for some, yes!

just follow the links provided in the log

[marsh tree]

some of them link to the exact same smapi page I downloaded them from today though

says downloaded december 21

I think it's not updating the log from before I updated the mods somehow

?

[shell willow]

oh!! then just run the game again and bring a new log

[marsh tree]

That’s what I did

I’ve tried running them game several times since updating and took the file from where the log parser told me

[shell willow]

well then, assuming that the log you sent is accurate as it should be, the fix is to update ur mods as well as remove pytk and mods that require it as a dependency because it’s simply outdated

[brave pond]

anyone know how to record smapi using nvidia shadowplay?

[marsh tree]

I have updated almost all of them already

and its still saying they're out of date

[shell willow]

as said above, you can also remove pytk as a fix

[marsh tree]

Is there a fast way to find out which mods rely on it or do I have to go through them all again?

[ornate tide]

what happens when you just run the vanilla game

also removing pytk will result in any mods just saying they cant load without it, so it will make it easy to see which ones to remove

[marsh tree]

I don’t know, I can check but I think it would be fine because the thing that’s giving me a crash report is smapi

[ornate tide]

have you ever been able to play the vanilla game?

[marsh tree]

Yes

[ornate tide]

have you ever been able to play modded normally?

[marsh tree]

Yes

A lot

[ornate tide]

!startuppref also try this, ignore the resolution stuff

[native dragon]

If your resolution is messed up try deleting startup_preferences This can be found on Windows at %appdata% > Stardew Valley > it's in that folder, or C:\Users\Yourwindowsnamehere\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley or for Mac can be found at ~/.config/StardewValley To get here you'll want to go to your desktop, then in the menu bar select Go -> Go to Folder...

[marsh tree]

I face I played it modded yesterday and it was fine, then today it kept crashing so I updated everything and still this

*In fact

[ornate tide]

hmm yeah, that makes the startuppref thing more plausible then

do you have 2 monitors?

[marsh tree]

No

[ornate tide]

hmm, thats usually the problem. still worth trying though

[marsh tree]

Ok I’m trying that now

I do have remote access on my phone if that could be affecting it?

Nope still crashing

And taking over the screen

[ornate tide]

i have no idea, can you send a new log?

[marsh tree]

Vanilla runs fine

Ok I assume I have to run the modding version again first?

[long brook]

Yes. Run the modded game til crash then send the new log

[marsh tree]

Yep ok

[marsh tree]

it still says I need to update when I don't

also I don't even think it gets far enough for those mods to be the problem

[scarlet quail]

Okay, that log is a mess, but let's go through a few things

First, which mod are we trying to update.

[marsh tree]

I reinstalled all of them

[scarlet quail]

........so, all of them, then?

[marsh tree]

I'm not trying to update, that's a side issue, it won't even load the game

[scarlet quail]

Ah. Okay. That's different. Define it won't load the game though

Does it reach the start screen?

[marsh tree]

yes

[scarlet quail]

Okay. When between the start screen and loading into the farmhouse does it crash?

Or does it crash after?

[marsh tree]

right as it loads the farmhouse OR if I try to switch windows

[scarlet quail]

And define crash - do you mean it throws a "not responding" thing, or does the SMAPI auto-exit?

[marsh tree]

like when I left it alone it got as far as a dark farmhouse interior and then got stuck

but otherwise its when I try to load it in the background

or switch to a webpage or something

[scarlet quail]

Alright. You have a lot of mods. Do me a favor and load your save, don't switch windows, click your save on the load screen, then go get a drink of water or something

Let us know if after, say, 10 minutes, it's still not loading

Because based on your log and what you're saying, the game is still loading, then you click into it by tabbing in after swapping windows and it goes not responding

And that's why you never click into game while loading, because it'll stall and then basically refuse to load your modded game.

There are other potential problems, such as your log trying to apply greenhouse stuff and neither being applied, plus some XNB mods in your mod folder making me worried you put XNB mods in your content folder

But first, we'll make sure you can't actually load in by making your file load for at least 10 minutes. Your log indicates at least 5 minutes pass while it loads character portraits and stuff

[marsh tree]

Ok it’s been a while now and the screen is still black

[scarlet quail]

Hm. You don't have PyTK anymore so that wouldn't cause issues... let's see.

Your GPU's somewhat old but that's honestly a better GPU than most in here. Can you give your newest log?

I want to see based on the log how long things are taking to load and if they're still actually loading according to the log at that time period

Additionally, can you add SpriteMaster and then run the game after you've given your log and try to load?

!sm

[native dragon]

SpriteMaster (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4922) is a mod that resamples the game's graphics to be smoother and improves performance.

[scarlet quail]

It's also possible your SMAPI is just loading slow, but again, would need to see your (new) log to figure that out

!smapislow

[native dragon]

For some players, SMAPI can take a while to launch the game. See this section of the troubleshooting guide for some common causes and possible fixes: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_lags_or_stutters_in-game

[marsh tree]

I think I've narrowed it down to a mod starting with S

it's spacecore I think

Yep it doesn’t have the problem when I remove spacecore

[obtuse surge]

I'm sure many would say it's not wise, but is it possible to change to a modded farm map mid-playthrough? what're the consequences of doing so?

[marsh tree]

Ok now ridgeside village isn’t working

[ornate tide]

woahh spacecore was the problem? it was probably a submod of spacecore

spacecore is needed for some big frameworks like json assets

[lament prairie]

removing spacecore fixes loading problems in the sense that removing all the gas from a car fixes tire issues

As it’s a key dependency, removing it will make a whole bunch of mods not load

Your game will then load super fast because most of the mods are missing an important dependency and so aren’t even trying to load

But this probably isn’t the source of the issue

[marsh tree]

Oh

Most things aren’t working now

[ornate tide]

there are a few issues(missing dependencies, empty folders, duplicate mods) with the log but I don't really understand since they were able to play fine yesterday

when did you try to update everything?

[marsh tree]

Today

I went though every single mod at the only one that made a difference was removing spacecor- Ohhhh that probably means adding spacecore back in activated the problem mod eh? Damnit

[ornate tide]

what day is it in your save?

oh made me remember, does it crash on a new save too?

[marsh tree]

Yes and I’ve been trying day 1 saves

Both crash

So basically it’s something that uses spacecore which doesn’t really narrow it down much

[marsh tree]

its something that uses json assets

joy

DUSTY OVERHALL

wait

no

i forgot to put json assets back in

[long heath]

What do u think I should do?

[tardy remnant]

What does this mean and how do i fix it?? I think i might have accidentally deleted some of stardews base files

Pls help😭

[neon cargo]

try repairing the game in steam

click on the cog, then properties, then local files and lastly verify integrity of game files

[tardy remnant]

I did it its still coming up with the same message

Nvm i think i got it working again

[sharp fiber]

anyone know how to use cursor mods?
i try to use them but the original always covers it up

[gloomy oriole]

Dunno if this is rude to pipe up off topic but I am really impressed with how helpful and friendly the modding community is in here, y'all are super helpful and wholesome

[hoary bane]

Clear your launch options.

[hoary bane]

Installation should be nothing out of the ordinary and it should work right after, which cursor mod are you looking at?

[indigo shore]

Hello! Yesterday I managed to convert dcburger's portraits to HD portraits with this mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/13599

Thus I was able to drop PyTK (yay!), there is only one thing and that is, shop portraits from other mods are now vanilla, does anyone know how to change said STF portraits?

[wintry summit]

https://smapi.io/log/00e22ac7953b43b99ac558ce5b75226a theres a warn section that says "cat gifts uses deprecated code.." but mod compability says its fine to use? so should i delete it anyway?

[lament vortex]

!deprecated

[native dragon]

SMAPI 3.18.0 raised deprecation levels to the final stage, meaning SMAPI will now show yellow warning dialogues for mods with deprecated code. For the user, this just means that the mods have old code and will break in SMAPI 4.0 if they are not updated - it is not anything to worry about at this time. (For mod authors, it's a not-nice warning to update your code already! )

[wintry summit]

ooh i see, thank you

[pulsar marsh]

Hi I need some help with modded moblie stardew

[long brook]

Ask away

[pulsar marsh]

I'm trying to get the Romanceable Rasmodia/ Romanceable Rasmodia mod to work but I can't figure it out.

[worldly ocean]

Mobile is tricky you need to download mods before the 1.5 update

[long brook]

Those mod is newer than Dec 2020, they don't have version that older than that date. It won't work for mobile at the moment

[pulsar marsh]

Aww okie dokies thank you!

[marsh tree]

If anyone is still here from my problem before I have it narrowed down to like fiiiiiiive potential mods

Down to two!

It’s either custom companions or custom furniture

[lament vortex]

i don't know what your issue is, but CF is pretty buggy

[marsh tree]

It’s custom companions it looks like

Oh wait

No you’re right

Wait

Not sure

Nope I was right

Custom companions is the problem

Now whether that’s because of a clash or not I dunno

[dusky canyon]

I can 90% say it is most likely a CF issue

or either PYTK

[marsh tree]

Goddamn it Ridgeside still isn’t working now

Why do so many mods require custom companions?!

Doesn’t it just add a new ability to do the mines with people?

Surely that can just be cut out

Also I already removed PYTK

It’s definitely something to do with custom companions, I ran it with everything but that and it worked

[dusky canyon]

I have 1094 mods including Custom Companions and it works for me.

Doesn't CF require PYTK?

[lament vortex]

Youre thinking of NPC adventures

[marsh tree]

Ok so it can’t be custom furniture because it can run without PYTK

*cant

Ok so I’ve removed ones that need custom companions

Now to slowly re-add them and see which one’s the problem I guess?

[hoary bane]

CF needs Pytk though?

[marsh tree]

Yeah so it’s not the problem because it’s not working anyway

Besides, the game ran with it in there so it can’t be that

Ok custom companions works on its own

So it must be something that needs it

[dusky canyon]

Have log?

[hoary bane]

🪵

[marsh tree]

Hasn’t helped so far

[restive grove]

can you also abridge the main problem, I had a quick glance over the history but it's a bit hard to follow

[marsh tree]

Got it narrowed down to fellow clowns tilesheets, never ending adventures and the wayfarer but I can do without them

I think

I’m kinda curious which one it is but this has taken me too fucking long already 😅

[restive grove]

but what was/is the problem exactly?

[marsh tree]

God DAMNIT ridgeside still isn’t working!

Oh god

I forgot to put custom companions back in

So of course none of the- AAAAAAAARRRRGH

[restive grove]

are you using a mod launcher?

[marsh tree]

No

[restive grove]

or are you doing it manually?

[marsh tree]

Does that mean putting them in the folder myself? If yes than yes

*then

[restive grove]

you'd have an easier time with this, if you used a mod launcher like Stardrop. that way you can have all the mods in the mods folder, but just tick the ones you want to launch/have different mod profiles

can have a vanilla profile, with nothing (or barely anything), different loaded mods with different friend's you're playing with, one with most things, etc

[marsh tree]

Downtown Zuzu, Durin’s Rest, Dusty Overhaul, East Scarpe or Ridgeside Village are the contenders now

[scarlet quail]

So essentially all of the major expansions, which are always the most resource intensive

Did you add sprite master like I asked before I went to sleep

[marsh tree]

No? I must’ve missed that? What’s sprite master?

[scarlet quail]

!sm

[native dragon]

SpriteMaster (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4922) is a mod that resamples the game's graphics to be smoother and improves performance.

[scarlet quail]

Put that on with all your other mods on as well

We'll cover disabling resampling if you don't like the graphical changes but the performance improvement is probably going to help you if your problem is literally the expansions

Because that just means that none of them is actually the problem,it's your hardware

[brave sparrow]

can anyone help me troubleshoot this thing from my portrait mod? this just started happening today

[brave sparrow]

(please ignore the Lenny/RSV thing, that's been going on for a while and I will ask about it on the RSV discord soon)

[marsh tree]

I doubt it’s a hardware problem because I’ve gotten expansions to work before

[gaunt gust]

Keep in mind it's quadratic

Which means each additional map isn't "slightly slower" it's "a heck of a lot slower"

[marsh tree]

OMG I THINK THE SPRITE MASTER THING IS WORKING

[scarlet quail]

In other words,it is your hardware if you're having that many expansions at the same time

I hate to say I told you so but I told you so XD

So the problem was definitely your hardware Plus all the expansions

[gaunt gust]

SpriteMaster rewrites some of the game code so it runs faster

[scarlet quail]

And i'm sorry you wasted like eight hours on this when I told you it right before I went to bed but I didn't check to make sure you were using it XD

Anyway, You can disable resampling by going to the config menu and unchecking the box for it if you don't like the graphical changes

[marsh tree]

Hahaha it’s ok, at least it seems to be solved!

Thank you!

[indigo shore]

I've haven't seen that wizard portrait error, phew

[brave sparrow]

for what it's worth, i also have the orangepie wizard portrait (in dcburger's art style) and that seems to be replacing whatever is going on with the dcburger one. but whenever i see red text i am afraid something is broken.

[gaunt gust]

Gonna be honest: probably not

Pytk thing.

[brave sparrow]

is pytk just kind of fucked?

[gaunt gust]

Pytk is just really complicated and requires someone to look through the code and like I can't be bothered to read through pytk code

[brave sparrow]

i see, thanks

it wasn't doing this yesterday i swear! i have no idea what happened

[indigo shore]

Ye it's worth looking into the hd portraits patch mod

[brave sparrow]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/13599 this one?

[indigo shore]

yes

tho

it is a bit of a headache to have everything work correctly

spend the entirety of last night on it lmao

[brave sparrow]

oh no, that's the opposite of what i wanted to do lol

i might try it anyway though

[indigo shore]

yeah dw, the only weird error idk about is the wizard one, i have no idea why that is conflicting

i did notice warnings regarding the SVE portraits tho, you'd have to look into the mods comments because it requires duplicating some files

like, you need Morris.png and then MorrisTod.png and so on, it is better explain in the posts tho

[brave sparrow]

ok, i'll take a look

[little phoenix]

@tired brook is automate able to use the Statue of Treasure from SVE? It doesn't work for me, I think since it is new to SVE and doesn't have a compatibility mod like PJA and such

[lament vortex]

You can add custom machines to the automate config, try adding it and see if it works

[little phoenix]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/tree/develop/Automate that?

[scarlet quail]

uh

!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]

Also please don't... ping pathos at the first sign of trouble?

[brave sparrow]

i found the comment you referred to - doing this duplication got rid of the warnings for gunther and morris, but it turned marlon's into the same error as the wizard 😦

[scarlet quail]

Give a log before stating it doesn't work for you so we can troubleshoot first

[little phoenix]

ok!

[brave sparrow]

oh well, hopefully the orangepie version will still work

[gaunt gust]

SVE would have to implement the automate api

I suspect not before 1.6

Tl;dr - it doesn't work and don't expect it to work before stardew 1.6

[scarlet quail]

So perhaps the API isn't implemented in SVE

got it, thank you atra

[gaunt gust]

(I looked into doing it for RSV for the trash cans last March)

That's why I have the tap giant crops mod

That was my test case XD

[scarlet quail]

so what you're saying is "Stardew 1.6 this march as this anniversary of the initial realization" 😛

[indigo shore]

that's super weird

[gaunt gust]

Gonna be honest, the reason why I don't like these autoconvertors is that it does always require someone to manually fix the last 10%

Which is fine when that someone knows what they are doing

[indigo shore]

that's why I am the one in my friend group doing it, they are all waiting for me to share the zip file with all the mods working together 😭

[dire fractal]

how do i mod my game

cause there's a specific mod I've seen youtubers have

where theres a chest infront of the farm and you can get any item from it

[brave sparrow]

you might be interested in this one, which i haven't used https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/518

other than that, here is a general guide https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started

[tired brook]

Automate will hopefully be able to support custom machines automatically in Stardew Valley 1.6, but in 1.5.6 it does need a bridge mod. So if SVE doesn't provide one (and doesn't use a framework that does like PFM), it won't work with Automate yet.

i extracted the files

it wont work

[scarlet quail]

....that isn't specific

[halcyon igloo]

is there an error message or is nothing just launching or like

[scarlet quail]

be specific. Screenshot of what it says when it "doesn't work" if you can't type it out

there could be 100 reasons why it doesn't work, hence why we ask

[scarlet quail]

Yeah that looks like the un-extracted version is being run

mind giving us a screenshot of the folder you're running the bat from?

[dire fractal]

ok

[neat plaza]

you didn't unzip it

[dire fractal]

i moved it to a folder that was empty

[neat plaza]

and why is it in your VLC folder..?

[dire fractal]

idk

just put it there

[halcyon igloo]

makes me wanna ask where the game is installed lol

[dire fractal]

thanks

that helped

[halcyon igloo]

it might come up later if it’s not the standard place

also again the folder isn’t extracted so extract it to downloads or sth

[scarlet quail]

right click the zip folder, hit extract all

then hit extract, assuming the checkbox of open folder when unzipped is checked, the new folder will come up

run bat from there

[halcyon igloo]

you have to click something that says extract or unzip, not just double click it to open in a browser

i feel like when i was a kid we couldn’t get file previews of zipped folders like this

[sharp fiber]

ive tried smaller hand cursor and hand cursor

[dire fractal]

it dosent show extract all

nvm

ill reinstall

[lament vortex]

is it showing the default windows cursor, or the game's brown cursor?

[dire fractal]

ill go from there

[halcyon igloo]

in the screenshot you posted there is also an extract button

over the summer i made a joke wondering if how to zip a folder was boomer knowledge but now i feel like it is

[dire fractal]

vortex or manual

[brave sparrow]

Manual, vortex is generally not recommended for Stardew afaik

[dire fractal]

ok

[long brook]

You already downloaded the zip file of smapi. Just gi to the file, right click, then choose extract

[dire fractal]

i have the file location open

i see the installer and the 2 dots above

[long brook]

Please wait

I'll screenshot how to extract with winrar

[scarlet quail]

Also never download SMAPI with vortex

The rest, we never really care about

But never with vortex on SMAPI

[long brook]

right click on the zip file then choose "extract here". then there should be smapi installer folder on the exact same folder as the zip file. you can run the installer from that folder then, not from inside the zip

[dire fractal]

where do i go to get there

internal then windows?

[long brook]

uh your zip file is in vlc folder

[dire fractal]

not anymore

i redid it

[long brook]

why thho

you delete it?

[dire fractal]

ye

[long brook]

that's the zip folder opened by double click it. just right click the zip file (like the screenshot i sent)

[dire fractal]

wheres the zip file

in internal?

[halcyon igloo]

in your downloads folder

[long brook]

no. just close that winrar

[halcyon igloo]

probably

[dire fractal]

ok

[long brook]

what folder that you usually used for downloading file?

the zip file should be there unless you choose different location

[dire fractal]

so what extract the entire folder

[halcyon igloo]

yes

like in his screenshot

extract here

[dire fractal]

ok done now what

i also found the extracted folder

[long brook]

can you screenshot it first? don't double click the zip file

screenshot just like this

[long brook]

good, now you can run install on windows from that folder

[dire fractal]

ok

what do i do from here

[long brook]

press 1

[long brook]

when there is green text, don't close or exit imediately

[dire fractal]

no

[long brook]

press 1 again

[dire fractal]

ok

i did it

[quick quarry]

I need help. When I go to download smapi it says failed- needs authorization even tho I’ve already downloaded about 15-20 MBs of it

[long brook]

don't close that thing when there is green text

[dire fractal]

i havent

[long brook]

can you screenshot the error?

[long brook]

ok there should be text that something like
"......." %command%

you need to copy that

[long brook]

where did you download the file from?

[quick quarry]

Smapi.io and I already tried nexus

It said network failure but my internet is good

[dire fractal]

i tried copying it

got it

[long brook]

try changing browser

[long brook]

then open steam, go to library, right click sdv, then click manage

[dire fractal]

k

[quick quarry]

To what

[dire fractal]

done i have steam open

[neat plaza]

you seem to have chrome there but not open

try that

[quick quarry]

No I’m on Google chrome

[neat plaza]

edge?

ff?

[quick quarry]

I’ll try Microsoft edge

[long brook]

go to library, right click sdv, then click manage

[quick quarry]

It says the same thing

[dire fractal]

i dont see svd

[halcyon igloo]

stardew valley

[dire fractal]

is it under library or?

[long brook]

sdv means stardew valley, under library

[dire fractal]

ohhhh

ok

k done

[long brook]

oh sorry not click manage, but properties

[dire fractal]

ok

done

[long brook]

a window should popped up like this, then paste what you copy before to lunch option

make sure it's something like "........" %command%

[dire fractal]

what launch options

[long brook]

see my screenshot

[dire fractal]

oh ok

[neat plaza]

the box that says launch options in it

[dire fractal]

i put it in now what

[long brook]

then you can close it and try launch the game

[dire fractal]

ok

done now what

[long brook]

is there any error? OR is there black window that pop up then the game launch?

[dire fractal]

a black window then the game launched

[long brook]

congrats, now you're ready to mod sdv

[dire fractal]

ok

thanks

[long brook]

to install mod, you have to know where your game folder is. to know that, you can right click sdv in steam library, manage, then click browse local file

[dire fractal]

ok thanks

[long brook]

there will be a folder named Mods, all your mods you wanna install chould be place there. to install mod, download a mod, it will come as zip just like smapi installer. extract that mod zip file then move the extracted folder into Mods folder

[scarlet quail]

folder will be Mods

Just in case you can't find Mod

[long brook]

thanks for the correction lyoko

[lament vortex]

does anyone know what could be causing my GI farmhouse to look like this? the beams i mean

im using aster's beam mod, and i want the beams to look like the darker wood color

im not sure if this an issue with the mod specifically or if anything else im using could be conflicting

[quick quarry]

Do I put the whole folder that I extract or just the content file

[lament vortex]

the whole folder

make sure to delete the zip or rar file afterwards

[quick quarry]

Thx

[thin ridge]

so I have not been able to post a screenshot but this morning ive been experiencing the occasional screen tearing where like 20% of the screen will if im transitioning screens will show a bunch of distorted purple pixels for like half a second

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

[scarlet quail]

uh, Cookie, that uh. That sounds like something GPU-related

tulip: That's a file replacer

[modest mural]

where should i put it ?

[thin ridge]

hmm i dont experience that with any other games ive found and it only started this morning\

[scarlet quail]

essentially, to use those you'll need to go into Ridgeside's CP folder and replace the folders that have the names of the folders in that mod with that mod's folders

So in CP Ridgeside in Ridgeside Village's main folder, delete BeachPortraits and replace with what's in this mod you have screenshotted to us

[thin ridge]

since ive added DSV my game as a whole has been acting up a bit and I need to configure a bunch of things to be more lightweight

[modest mural]

completely replace them ?

[scarlet quail]

yep

[modest mural]

ookay , i should probably save the files somewhere else tho ?

[scarlet quail]

honestly file replacers are a little ridiculous on that scale, but the author didn't want to write code to patch them in

[neat plaza]

you could always redownload RSV

[scarlet quail]

I mean probably, yes

[modest mural]

thank you thank you ! i’ll do that and see if it works

[thin ridge]

what should I do?

[scarlet quail]

Not sure you can do anything

But I will welcome anyone with more deck knowledge as to if there is a solve

[modest mural]

oh there’s one other that said the file was empty . another portrait mod for sve

should i drag the portrait files into the sve folder ?

[scarlet quail]

again, depends on what it is

screenshot would be appreciated

[thin ridge]

ah do you think then I did find something that conflicts with linux?

[modest mural]

probably the same deal as before ? ._.
that’s inside the portraits mod folder though

[scarlet quail]

that's also a replacer, but why the STF too?

[lone dirge]

Hi can someone check out my log for me? Game freezes and goes unresponsive, especially when trying to load a saved game. https://smapi.io/log/7de1dbf7aaf54f139e1871248ac39b52

[dapper gazelle]

shop portrait

[thin ridge]

who could I contact?

[modest mural]

no idea , but there’s more portraits inside that file

[lament prairie]

STF folder has shop portraits that are specific to SVE

[dapper gazelle]

I just said why

[lament prairie]

Those have to replaced and can’t be patched

[scarlet quail]

ahhh, so like Suki and such, got it

[lament prairie]

Idk about the CP folder

[thin ridge]

whos the deck/linux tech people I could tag

[lament prairie]

There aren’t really any

Most people don’t have a deck

[modest mural]

yeah the mod has those in their style

[lament prairie]

But also DSV basically always comes with a performance cost, as do all seasonal outfits mods

[scarlet quail]

Given your GPU plus your mods, please click your file on loading, then let it go for about 10 minutes

[lament prairie]

You can try the lightweight configs

[scarlet quail]

and by let it go I mean do not touch it nor your computer

[modest mural]

should i try the same thing i did for the other one ?

[scarlet quail]

Just click load and get a drink of water or something

Let us know if it loads

[dapper gazelle]

just as an fyi, most mod authors include how to use their mods on the description page. And there are instructions on how to use these Nyapu ones. In this case, you're instructed to overwrite the portraits

[lone dirge]

could it be that my computer cant handle all these mods? Thats why it is slow?

[silver marsh]

hi hi! im with a problem with my smapi.. whenever i try to run the archive always ends with this error: ''Oops, couldn't find the game automatically.
Type the file path to the game directory (the one containing 'Stardew Valley.dll'), then press enter.1'' but there is no one archive w/ that name, the closer is "StardewValley.GameData..dll'' that I even tried to change their name but on the next step i recieve another error idk what to do

[neat plaza]

what version of sdv are you running

[modest mural]

i feel just as lost as before ._.
cuz i did put it in the mods folder but that didn’t work

[thin ridge]

so I still would like to resolve this issue of mine..

[silver marsh]

the newest one!

[robust bison]

just put the game folder path

[dapper gazelle]

They want you to overwrite the SVE folders

[modest mural]

how can i do that ?

[dapper gazelle]

the way you've been doing it per Lyoko's instructions

[modest mural]

so switching out the files ?

sorry i’m asking so many questions 😅

[dapper gazelle]

I'm tapping out. Good luck.

[scarlet quail]

Yes, swapping out the files

[scarlet quail]

This is likely, but that's why you should test and let it load for a while

There is a potential solve here but first we need to verify it's not something else

[silver marsh]

this appear..

[scarlet quail]

That's.... not what archive means. Given your screenshot, where is your game located?

[silver marsh]

when i tried to rename appear another error

[scarlet quail]

specifically, Stardew Valley - where is vanilla Stardew located?

[silver marsh]

one sec

[lone dirge]

Okay, I’ll let it load. This only happens with loading saves from the menu, the game runs fine when I get past it though.

[scarlet quail]

blinks where else would you load the save from?

If you mean the game is running fine but it takes ages to load, that's normal with a higher modcount or older hardware

[lone dirge]

Yeah that’s what I meant

[scarlet quail]

I thought you meant the game was having issues running in-game too, but if that's not the case, that's normal on how long it takes

So in that case

there's only one thing that can potentially help cut down that time

!sm

[native dragon]

SpriteMaster (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4922) is a mod that resamples the game's graphics to be smoother and improves performance.

[scarlet quail]

Install that mod, and disable resampling if you don't like the graphical changes

Otherwise, you're going to have to take out mods for it to run faster, and the main culprit would be SVE at that point

[silver marsh]

this?? srry english isnt my first language 😭

[scarlet quail]

SpriteMaster will help load times, though, if that's your problem

[lone dirge]

Will this mod conflict with recolor mods? Cause I have one of those

[scarlet quail]

Yes, but... you're missing a bunch of vanilla Stardew files there. Where did you get the game from?

[silver marsh]

steam

[scarlet quail]

it will not. It will change the look of them unless you disable resampling

in which case it won't change the looks

okay. Milla, you're missing a crapton of vanilla Stardew files

please verify your game files in steam

[lone dirge]

Okay thanks! Looks like it loaded, so I guess I just needed patience

[silver marsh]

I just reinstalled it there, because I thought the problem was in the version

[scarlet quail]

Like, you can't even run vanilla Stardew right now

[silver marsh]

ok ok

[scarlet quail]

Because you don't have the exe, nor several files needed for it to load

[silver marsh]

it was running before I uninstalled the smapi files, one sec ill download it again

[modest mural]

done the thing but SMAPI says there’s an error

[scarlet quail]

I mean you know the drill by now tulip

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

Also it looks like from the second screenshot you deleted the folders but then didn't replace them

or you deleted the entire CP folder but that's not what I said to do, I said - especially with Ridgeside - to delete the BeachPortraits, Wedding Portraits, etc. - the folder names inside the CP folder - and then put the new ones in

[scarlet quail]

Elizabeth, you still around? I think you're the one that knows about this particular mac error of already exists thing?

[scarlet quail]

Yeah your log indicates you yeeted the entirety of the CP folder

(and the STF folder)

That's not how file replacing works

you yeet the parts that are in the file replacer mod, not the whole thing

[modest mural]

i didn't delete them , i moved them and replaced them with the other files from the portrait mods

[scarlet quail]

Which means you deleted them to SMAPI

[modest mural]

so okay , get the folders back and switch the folders contents ?

[scarlet quail]

I think that's correct, assuming I'm reading your syntax correctly

Beach Portraits should replace beach portraits

Portraits should replace portraits, etc.

[modest mural]

should i only move the portraits or the portrait folders ?

like , the images themselves

[shell willow]

folders

[thin ridge]

with my game ive switched most of DSV to light and ultralight

and its when I load up the day that most of the stuttering and such happens

if I go to a deck based spot they gonna tell me to contact this server lol

[scarlet quail]

The problem, Cookie, is that what you're asking about no one has frame of reference on

if you told me sudden purple pixels on a PC, I'd assume your GPU is dying

[thin ridge]

I dont htink its a gpu issue

as its primarily a stuttering as the game loads

?

like it happens during those stutters

[scarlet quail]

So then it's not something in your log and related to SMAPI, so it's probably your deck trying to do too much at once

Otherwise, we have no clue

so we cannot solve your issue

[lament prairie]

where's my stuttering quote again

[scarlet quail]

Oh, Elizabeth!

Hold up, let me quote the one mac os already exists log

[lament prairie]

.q 5981

[devout pumice]

[#5981] "(What are costumes if not IRL content packs?)" - @tired brook (28 Oct 2022 @ 04:27:14 PM UTC)

[silver marsh]

now that I reinstalled it shows this but there is no update on my steam

[lament prairie]

.q 5891

[devout pumice]

[#5891] "Lag/stutter is unfortunately very hard to diagnose. There are a few potential causes:

1. Background processes on your computer (ex. my game lags/stutters horribly when my computer changes from light to dark theme at nightfall)
2. Garbage collection in the game/game framework.
3. Certain functions within the game can cause lag/stutter (ex. forage spawn at specific times, screenshot triggering)
4. Certain mods are more likely to cause lag/stutter, and may have config options to reduce them. (ex. seasonal outfit-type mods, FTM mods with many monsters spawning)
5. Certain computer setups may experience more lag.

In terms of fixes, by cause above:

1. You can try viewing Task Manager/Activity Monitor while the game is running to identify problematic background processes, and/or close other apps.
2. Difficult to address as a user. Ameise has been trying to track this down but it has been proving elusive.
3. See if the lag occurs at a consistent time and try to find mods that add a change at those times.
4. Ask if there are config options for the mods you suspect. For ex., FTM (reduce monster spawn limit), DSV (use lightweight version), and Automate all have config options.
5. If you have an Nvidia GPU, try typing .q 5755 in #governors-mansion for some possible settings to try. On Windows, you may also try things with setting SDV/SMAPI to specific cores or priority levels?" - @lament prairie (07 Mar 2022 @ 06:07:07 PM UTC)

In some rare cases, you may need to use the compatibility branch in order to play Stardew Valley, but SMAPI does not run with the compatibility branch.

[silver marsh]

tysm!!

[lament prairie]

create a ~/.local folder and this should be fixable

That is, a folder named .local under your main account folder

[scarlet quail]

Ah, whew, you were the one who knew how to fix that XD Thank ya

[lament prairie]

You can either do this through Finder or through Terminal

If you're comfortable with Terminal, try mkdir ~/.local

[shell willow]

omg hi, elizabeth

tysm for your help

[lament prairie]

If you prefer Finder, go to the main folder for your account (as in, the one that has Documents, Downloads, etc in it) and type command-shift-.

This shows hidden folders

It's a toggle, so if you accidentally hit it twice just hit it again

Then you can make new hidden folders (ones that start with a .)

[shell willow]

okie dokie, i popped this in terminal

is it supposed to give me an output or am i good?

[scarlet quail]

if I'm reading the really basic computer syntax correctly you can probably check if it made the directory

[lament prairie]

Not supposed to give an output afaik

You can do the steps before "make the folder" in Finder to check if it got made

[scarlet quail]

woo, I did read it right

[shell willow]

kk perf

[scarlet quail]

(I do not know mac stuff so I wasn't sure that's what mkdir meant)

[lament prairie]

mkdir = MaKe DIRectory

[thin ridge]

like if I turn DSV to ultra lightweight for almost everyone it reduces it

[scarlet quail]

Yeah that sounds like your deck literally can't handle all the stuff. That's why ultralightweight exists

Decks are not PCs, they are not as powerful as PCs, and therefore they cannot run as much as PCs

Your issue is likely overloading your modded game, so your GPU is being taxed beyond its ability to render stuff, hence pixelling

[thin ridge]

im able to run much more powerful things just fine

its just this occured after DSV

[lament prairie]

DSV is actually pretty strenuous, since if it's doing lots of outfit changes it has to "watch" for when it needs to change

[scarlet quail]

^^^^^^^^

[thin ridge]

isnt the outfit changes during screen transitions?

[scarlet quail]

Also I'm probably - when I don't have other things to do - going to put a Maru's robot quote for "Just because it hasn't errored before doesn't mean it won't error now" or something, because I feel it's necessary with modded game support lately XD

[halcyon igloo]

i had no idea dsv was so resource intensive lol

[scarlet quail]

...Not without SpriteMaster, I think, Cookie

That or I misread the convo about it earlier that atra and the other coders mentioned about spritemaster only loading on transitions

Honestly I should check the weebly to check

brb

[thin ridge]

I can run rdr 2 and i dont own elden ring but I hear that runs perfectly fine, its crazy to think that dsv would be putting such a strain?

[lament prairie]

Those aren't mods though

[thin ridge]

i can drop my fps to 30 and its still doing it

[lament prairie]

By its nature, modding is less efficient

Since it has to be patched into the code

Pathos did weeks of trying to reduce stutter and lag and a whole thread about it

[thin ridge]

i can just remove dsv but i honestly love it especially trans penny and the mermaid pendants 😦

[lament prairie]

Since he doesn't own a deck (and neither do I, or most people), there wasn't any deck-specific testing, but I wouldn't be suprised if it just is an ongoing thing that you can't fully eliminate

[scarlet quail]

furiously takes notes for the next time a user complains about stutter with their PC being able to run other games with more graphical intensity

(Because that does happen in here, so I want to give them the facts so they can understand)

[lament prairie]

You can try removing any other mods that might be intensive

You can try setting DSV to ultralightweight

Beyond that, you just have to decide how much stutter you can live with

[thin ridge]

yeah

i do have everything to ultralightweight except my partners

[thin ridge]

is there a way to check which other mods that are pretty intensive ?

[scarlet quail]

The list basically boils down to "expansions" at that point

[lament prairie]

Anything that does a lot of patches on location change too

Or on time change

But also expansions

[thin ridge]

would rival hearts be intensive?
