You're missing Shop Tile Framework

[brisk elm]

OH

Thank you!

[lament vortex]

And a few other mods as well

If you see your log, in the red errors it tells you which mods haven't loaded and why

[brisk elm]

Oooh okay. Thank you so much! I'll try to grab the ones I'm missing then

[dire fractal]

is it normal for stardew to kinda lag a little bc of mods?

only have a few mods on and the screen kinda does a weird glitch and its not like a huge thing but

[robust bison]

usually

try this

!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.

[lament vortex]

It seems like your install of SVE is also incorrect as well, so I would redownload the mod

[brisk elm]

I can try that, but I don't really understand why its incorrect. You just download it, unzip the files and move them to your game registry's mod folder, right?

[lament vortex]

Yes, but it says you're missing the CP and STF folders of SVE

It's possible something went wrong when you unzipped them

So I would recommend that you reinstall

[brisk elm]

They're in there tho? Either way, I'll delete this and try reinstalling, but thats weird lol

[robust bison]

shit happens

[brisk elm]

lol yeahhh I'm used to skyrim modding, thankfully this has been a much smoother experience minus this little blip LOL

[reef forge]

It doesn't crash for my friend only me

[robust bison]

we still need it

[gentle mountain]

Hi everyone, I have little problem:
I have a custom NPC. It behaves as instructed in schedule when I start new game, but when I load saved winter game, she ignores my schedule

The .json does not seem to be wrong

Ïs it something known?

[snow prism]

are you developing this NPC?

[gentle mountain]

Nope, I tweaked it

[snow prism]

is there smth in your log when she ignores the schedule?

[gentle mountain]

Log means SMAPI?

[snow prism]

yes

[gentle mountain]

Will try to look

[snow prism]

does she not move at all? or does she just move differently

[gentle mountain]

Not move at all

[zinc whale]

helo, so I am attempting to fix some of the mods in my sv playthrough and more issues have cropped up x-x The original problem was mods like stardew expanded and ridgeside weren't showing up as places to go in game. I then updated all the mods shown in the 1st screenshot, and now a lot of textures are missing.
As the textures are missing from a variety of mods, I was wondering if someone knew what could be causing it?

[lament vortex]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[zinc whale]

hmm, that's a cool bot. I can update the mods it lists in the log, but is removing Ptyk important aside from making the game perform better? It seems to be important for a few of the mods I updated

[gaunt gust]

Reinstall spacecore and JA

[zinc whale]

I did reinstall spacecore earlier

i will reinstall ja befor updating

adg;lkjagd lol one of the mods I downloaded today literally updated within the last hour, I was wondering why it said to redownload xd

[brisk elm]

Thank you guys for all of your help earlier, everything is working perfectly now!!

[snow prism]

you have some very old mods, Id update all of them

[zinc whale]

im redownloading all the stuff the log is recommending, it was all working fine when I ran it the first time some monthes ago, but then the ridgeside and expanded stuff stopped appearing in my world so, wanted to fix it. The one thing that keeps being consistently broken is Harvest Goddess mod, the portraits don't appear correctly for some reason >:/

[gaunt gust]

Months is kinda a long time around here

Actively updated mods can have a lot of updates in that time period

[dapper gazelle]

Expanded is probably interfering with the Harvest Goddess portraits btw. They're not compatible.

[zinc whale]

D:

noooooooooooooooooo

[dapper gazelle]

(and never will be~)

[zinc whale]

she's so pretty

[gaunt gust]

Wonder how hard it would be to make harvest goddess a standalone

[dapper gazelle]

(not hard at all, I've done it for personal use xD)

But she has very little material on her own unfortunately and kind of needs that boost she gets from some Wizard stuff

[gaunt gust]

I see

I don't really have an active save going rn at all

[halcyon igloo]

does rust count as an active save

well i have said goodbye to harvest goddess u_u But everything else seems to be fixed, it hasn't even corrupted my og save :D (to my knowledge lol). Thanks for the help! o/

[dapper gazelle]

it appears that nothing at all is patching the flower festival map wtf

Shiloh, can you screencap the inside of your Romanceable Rosmodius > assets > Maps folder just in case?

[night osprey]

brb though gotta feed my daughter her next bottle 😂

[dapper gazelle]

ok well it's definitely in there what is going ON

[night osprey]

Can someone remind me how to reload a previous save?

[dapper gazelle]

you mean like roll back a day? or play with a different farm/save?

[night osprey]

roll back a day

but I have to go, gotta take my daughter to an appt!

[lament vortex]

those mods are meant to replace the files in seasonal cute aesthetic

they're not standalone, so they won't work on their own

[night osprey]

Man yall are smart. I opened it, looked at it and went "welp im too dumb for this" but also having 500 mods would make you knowledgeable about a lot of how they work. Like I don't even know what mod this came from lol

[main coyote]

same, dumbest person ever but love mods ❤️

[halcyon igloo]

i have 500 still don’t know much about under the hood lol

always learning

[night osprey]

Maybe im picky but idk how you even get to 500 mods haha im somewhere over 100 and browse nexus often and I feel like I hit the bottom of the barrel for quality mods a long time ago (that fall in my interests)

[lament vortex]

some errors are easier than others, and this is quite the easy fix because it's a common mistake people make

[main coyote]

i think i have that mod so what do i do? move them into the seasonal mods folder

sorry

[night osprey]

I believe so, just a drag and replace

Probably

[lament vortex]

move the assets folder inside the seasonal cute folder

[main coyote]

okay thank you! 🙂

[lament vortex]

if it asks you to replace, say yes to all

[charred fjord]

Hi guys is there a mod for putting fridges in sheds

[lament vortex]

why not just use a chest?

[charred fjord]

I’m trying to make another kitchen

[lament vortex]

there's a buildable kitchen mod

it says in the description you can put the items anywhere, try it and see

[charred fjord]

Ooo okay thank you I’ll look into that

[halcyon igloo]

uhhh a lot of “better” mods, random reskins lol

frameworks

i just got a bunch of furniture / clothing stuff

i’m a huge fan of dialogue mods

[faint swan]

What exactly does this mean? I haven't played Stardew in well over a year and after updating all the mods I see that I still have an error here. I have not touched it or any other mods files

[lament vortex]

You're missing Mail Framework

And the Penny Expanded mod seems to have an issue with the manifest, I'd redownload it and check the comments in the page to see if anyone has had this issue and how to fix it, if so

[faint swan]

okay thanks, um the other question is what is deprecated code?

[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! )

[faint swan]

ah, thanks

[dire fractal]

Does anyone know a program to pack pngs into xnbs i tried "xnbcli-linux" but it did not work

[neat plaza]

!xnbzola

[native dragon]

@dire fractal 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

[dire fractal]

ok ig ill use content patcher it will just take forever

[neat plaza]

why would it take forever..?

[dire fractal]

i need to retexture every single file

[neat plaza]

why

and tbf, xnb packing would take longer

[dire fractal]

i turned down the desaturation

[neat plaza]

rightt
and why is xnb a better option?

[dire fractal]

it seems faster like i just put the pngs in then drag and drop

[lament prairie]

Use the {{HasFile}} syntax in content patcher

XNBs are fragile and cause super annoying problems

[dire fractal]

true

[humble relic]

Hi, does anyone know if an unofficial update for the Fishing Trawler mod exists, which migrates it from Pytk?

[dapper gazelle]

no, but PeacefulEnd is working on a non-PyTK version. No ETA though.

[tepid crest]

hello how would i find the smapi log on steam deck

[mild talon]

(What does CPP mean?)

[summer swan]

Probably Content Patcher Pack. 🤷‍♀️

[mild talon]

Oh.. huh. Must be olden speake?

[faint swan]

Not really sure. Either way haven't seen the mod anywhere but Nexus and it hasn't been updated since 2018 so it is out of commission unless it gets updated

[mild talon]

I just saw it ln on one of the update forums actually

Coincidence

I just noticed several of my dialogue mods have that prefix. Google didn't answer me

[summer swan]

Most Content Patcher mods have [CP] in front. Other mods like add ons for Alternate Textures or Fashion Sense have [AT] or [FS] in front of them. But you'll also come across CP or whatever mods that have nothing in front of them.

Those prefixes aren't technically necessary, but they help with finding things in the mods folder. 🤷‍♀️

[mild talon]

Yeah exactly, that's why I thought [CPP] has to mean something
C P Pack fits but seems silly noe

[mild talon]

so I'm trying to fix this error.. can anyone help me?

i used the HD portraits pack to convert lunakatt's portraits for Cecilia. I don't understand where the multiple patches are

or what the #s SMAPI calls out are referencing

[lament vortex]

would be better if u uploaded it here

!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.

[mild talon]

uploaded what?

the whole log

[lament vortex]

the content.json

[mild talon]

i did? i tried to

[lament vortex]

on the link governor sent

[mild talon]

#archived-modded-support message that;s not it?

[summer swan]

The link from governor will check your json for some "common" errors too.

As far as I can read the screenshot: You've multiple mods trying to do the same.

[mild talon]

OH, gotcha. https://smapi.io/json/none/a7a5b7a608a94fc7a0dbbd82b7bd3201

yes.. i get that. i just dont see where it's doing it

all the When conditions make it messy looking and confusing

[summer swan]

I don't know much about portraits or jsons, but: You load the portrait_spring.png multiple times?

First time without conditions, later with when conditions.

[mild talon]

yeah.. i see that. i think it's just saying to load _spring.png but not on GI, ditto for all the seasons
and then finally it says load _beach for GI
seems redundant to me... 🤔

maybe i need to get rid of... which ones

all the When on GI=false ones, right? cuz why do they need to be there?

(thanks for sharing thru the json validator tip -- makes it Much easier to see, omg.)

[summer swan]

That's why everybody wants people to upload their stuff on the smapi page. 😅

First: Still no idea about that sufft, but let's try some logic. Vanilla NPCs only visit IslandSouth (the resort). Can Cecilia move elsewhere?

[mild talon]

i think i should scoot over to the making-mods page.. but thanks anyway!

[indigo shore]

Hello! I have been playing for a bit with a new save since I added so many mods, currently in summer year 1 and while playing I got an error related to UI Info Suite 2 with Love of Cooking (at least as far as I can tell). I'm still playing so it isn't game breaking (as far as I know, I really don't know what the error is even about with 100% certainty) but I am still posting here in case there is a quick fix or in case I need to report this somewhere. Here is the log:

[indigo shore]

no worries! Like I said, it isn't game breaking and so far I'm just ??? as to what the error refers too so, it doesn't bother me really, thanks anyways!

[rancid prawn]

can someone drop the link to the SMAPI console commands list?

[lament vortex]

Search for debug commands

[rancid prawn]

I did [help debug] but all I get is it telling me about warp, Im trying to warp Leah to me, since she's glitched into a wall in her house

i forgot the command

[lament vortex]

No, I mean search for debug commands outside of the game

But it's debug wctm Leah I'm pretty sure

[mild talon]

it's on the wiki. long list

not all of them owrk

[rancid prawn]

ty

[rigid herald]

for some reason, my game loads the game really really slow

I tried checking on the logs if there are any problems but there doesn't seem to be any error

It takes like hours just to get the game started

It's been two hours waiting and it's still not done

[lament vortex]

!log still might give us an idea of what might be causing it

[native dragon]

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

[rose gulch]

Does portrait mod works when i play with vanilla multiplayer?

[lament vortex]

no... because you're playing vanilla

unless it's something that you added to the content folder, in which case

so remove platotk and try again

[faint swan]

Does anyone know if the creator/s of Seasonal Outfits has a preferred way of contact? I would like to upload a sub-mod for it says the following on permissions and credits but I want to make sure that it is okay.

You can freely edit the assets by Poltergeister for/include them in your own mod as long as you give credit as outlined in the credits section and don't put your work using these assets behind a paywall such as Patreon. Tanpoponoko assets are not free to use.

[lament vortex]

I'd say the mod page is your best bet

I've never seen them around here, and they don't have any discord server that I know of

[faint swan]

okay, I wanted to see if they had any other avenues of contact because I seem to have the worst luck with contacting mod creators via Nexus messages when asking about permissions. They never get back to me

[next spindle]

hey, when we remove mods, there are issues with stuff and changes left behind, is there a way to fix things?
there's some stuttering here and there that we can't pinpoint

[mild talon]

you have Error Handler, right?

which mods you remove?

and you're playing MP i assume

[rigid herald]

The game seems still slow to load

[robust bison]

remove pytk if you have it and install spritemaster

[mild talon]

also Tool Upgrade Delivery needs FEtK - both mods are broken tho

so get rid of that one too

Mail Services will work for getting tools in the mail and much more

[mild talon]

might be best to send logs. if it is MP they'll need yours and theirs

[next spindle]

ErrorHandler is there
yes, multiplayer
We removed the expansions Stoffton, Mineral Town, Fostoria and their dependencies. Also Ice Tiles.
This caused our initial load times go go from upwards of 40min to like around 5min
but we started not being able to open chests and then 30+ sec later they might open. We also started seeing each other zoom past each other suddenly. It feels like lag spikes for those two things.

[mild talon]

hmm yeah, i think you should send the logs

[faint swan]

What happened with pytk? When I last played nigh on a year or two ago I saw that a couple of the mods I used required it, now it is no longer required and more than a few places have said drop ut

[robust bison]

!pytk

huh

[mild talon]

it's just old and will be basically obsolete in the next update of SMAPI

!pytkwarning

[native dragon]

This warning means that CP and SMAPI have had to disable certain optimizations for pytk. Pytk will work fine for now, but you may see increased lag

[robust bison]

well basically its pretty slow in the background and fights with a lot of other mods and hasn't really been updated in a while so everyone's moved onto content patcher or other alternatives

[mild talon]

(idky they changed it, if they did)

[mild talon]

is the PyTK req for custom NPCs just for their spouse rooms or no.. ?

[robust bison]

depends if they've been updated recently

[mild talon]

hmm.. i need a way to see exactly what it's being used for

[robust bison]

in the old days pytk was used for custom maps, festrival locations, and spouse rooms

[faint swan]

If there a replacement for "TMXL Map Toolkit" that doesn't need pytk if I should be trying to get rid of the latter?

[robust bison]

cp can now handle custom maps

[lament prairie]

Honestly I see tons of lag playing just vanilla MP

I would suspect the internet before mods that had been removed already

[mild talon]

so for NPCs that don't have custom maps but edit the vanilla ones..

[rigid herald]

Is there another way to load the game faster without spritemaster?

[mild talon]

fewer mods? faster computer?

[next spindle]

there was no lag before mod removal.
plus the lag is specific to certain actions, so I'm not sure its just the connection

[robust bison]

you can disable the visual changes with sm

[mild talon]

you also have a bunch of mods with updates

[lament prairie]

Do you have a concrete list of all the actions that cause lag?

[mild talon]

maybe that'll help? helps me feel better anyway

[lament prairie]

Ex. is it just opening chests?

If it’s just all chests, that points towards maybe a chest mod

If it’s just specific chests, maybe there’s a modded item left in that one that need removing

It’s possible that other mods stored extra data from the removed mods, or there’s some obscure mod interaction

[next spindle]

all chests. We do have Better Chests
But we also started seeing each other zoom past each other as if lag

[elder dove]

Evening! Is this the best place to ask about mod recommendations? I'm wanting to start with a new farm type and wanted to get a recommendation. Thank you!

[lament prairie]

If “walking” is one of the things, that’s a problem that’s incredibly hard to diagnose

Since most of the time probably someone is walking

The zooming past sounds like a side effect of something else to me, at least

[lament prairie]

Probably best to ask #modded-stardew for answers!

We deal in “oh god it’s broken” here

[lament vortex]

Why are you asking here again, when you were already answered in modded-farmers?

[lament prairie]

Or at least we try

[next spindle]

yeah ice tiles made changes to walking. We forgot to remove its dependency at one point and the maps didn't scroll sometimes.

I was thinking maybe there's some changes leftover from that maybe.
Like is there a command that asks smapi to reevaluate mods or some shit?

[lament prairie]

Generally restarting the game should cover that

[next spindle]

I see

[lament prairie]

There’s a certain amount of stuff saved into the save (moddata) and occasionally mods store information in the save folder itself (json assets item IDs)

[elder dove]

Thank you!

[lament prairie]

The ice tiles thing sounds like it could be related to the zooming maybe

I see three different mod counts in the list, to start with

[elder dove]

Modded-farmers pushed me to a wiki, I do appreciate that, I just wanted to see if anyone had a personal preference. I've found that folks here usually give really fun context thats missing on wikis.

[lament prairie]

Potentially one of your players didn’t remove the ice tiles mod

Oh wait I see

That’s not different players

[next spindle]

yeah

[lament prairie]

We probably do need logs from everyone

It’s so easy for players in MP to accidentally not coordinate

[next spindle]

okay, I'll ask tomorrow then since they're not awake.

thank for your help

[gaunt gust]

(the running joke is that the people in this channel don't actually play the game anymore)

[robust bison]

I haven't played in months

[mild talon]

does anyone know how to get rid of the duplicate settings here in Reshade?

i cannot figure it out. so many options.

[next spindle]

nine seventy four mods...

[mild talon]

but every time i load my game i have to uncheck all these boxes

that's SMAPI's count.. many of them are AT or dialogue or other little things

[gaunt gust]

(heck, I changed my display name to a rust variable declaration lol)

[mild talon]

IDEK what that means. i keep hearing about 'rust' - some coding thing?

[lament prairie]

Rust is a language

Much like C# (the language Stardew is written in) or Python (another popular language)

[mild talon]

ah.. language vs coding thing

[robust bison]

one day I will bother myself to learn more languages

soon™️

[mild talon]

i was trying to learn French w the owl.. it's too gamey

[gaunt gust]

I've roughly gotten to the point where I can basically pick up most normal computer languages in days to weeks

(normal = not brainfuck, not weird golf languages, etc.)

[robust bison]

scratch?

[mild talon]

so JSON is like a pidgin w Java and English ?

or whatever primary human language one speaks

[gaunt gust]

LabView, as much as I complain about how bad it is, only took me a few hours to program a simple binary search

it's a terrible programming language btw

JSON is short for Javascript Object Notation, and it's basically a data format originally developed as Javascript (and to be valid Javascript)

[lament prairie]

Maybe I’ll learn labvirw someday

I hear it’s horrid

[lament prairie]

Honestly yeah

With a side of having physical devices hooked up to it

With important experiment data

[plain flicker]

Two glitches I can't get rid of:

• All equipped shoes turn red
• I have no sleeves

I don't get any error logs, and to try and fix this I removed all my Fashion-based Mods, but these effects still linger.
Anyone familiar with either of these bugs?

*I normally use "Fashion Sense" to change the look, and can set an override for the shoes to just be a set color... but I like seeing the color based off what I wear.
As for the sleeves, when I have FS in use, the sleeves section is stuck on "None" and has no other options. *

[lament vortex]

Do you have any custom bodies?

[plain flicker]

custom bodies? nope.

hello, I'm looking for some assistance with a bug/glitch I'm experiencing in my modded multiplayer game. There's no actual error, it's issues with the GUI seemingly being out of alignment with itself. Is this channel the best place to get help with that?

[lament vortex]

well, first of all

!modmanagerbugs

[native dragon]

Vortex (Nexus) and ModDrop both are mod managers that can help you keep your mods up to date, but they are difficult to troubleshoot. If you're looking for a mod manager that was written specifically for SDV and has troubleshooting logs built in, you can try Stardrop (!stardrop).

If you're using a non-Stardrop mod manager and ask for help troubleshooting, you can ask the Nexus Discord https://www.nexusmods.com/discord or the Moddrop Discord https://www.moddrop.com/app/about (scroll down). If you're using Stardrop, please remember to provide a Stardrop log.

why is an audio output on so necessary for the game to function....

[timid urchin]

I completley removed stardew, Smapi, and vortex to fix it

[next spindle]

lmao, I did too at one point

[lament prairie]

It’s a SAAT problem iirc??

Like the game itself catches the bug, I think I was told, but SAAT gets sad

[halcyon igloo]

stardew valley straight up just hates when i change my computer's audio output mid-game lol

[drifting atlas]

should I be collecting the SPAMI-latest.txt file while the game is running or after closing it?

[next spindle]

after

[lament prairie]

either way is actually fine

If your game is crashing, you should get it after the crash

[timid urchin]

why does UI info suite not work?

[lament vortex]

!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.

[next spindle]

I took collecting to mean like making a little collection of the files and you can't rename while game is running lmao

[timid urchin]

ty

[lament prairie]

Oh, yeah, I thought they meant uploading to log website

[night osprey]

reminds me of FF14's fancy little bug of not being able to switch audio input without the game crashing. Was reported to the OF, they said it wasn't a thing, no bug etc etc. Then it happened during a live letter livestream 🙃 and they fixed it. "huzzah!" we said as the bug was finally fixed, only for them to stubbornly revert it and make us all suffer again

[next spindle]

why would they revert it, that's extra work

[night osprey]

because why not

[next spindle]

oh maybe it was a hack type of fix

[night osprey]

I cant say for sure if they did it purposely

but it was "fixed" for a few months

and then suddenly, after a hotfix

was not working again

but its just obscene to me that a game that large and popular doesnt allow you to switch audio input lmao

[lament prairie]

I’m guessing it’s related to the framework the game is built on

[night osprey]

oh absolutely

ff14 was built off their 1.0 code. Which if you didnt know, is notoriously bad

[lament prairie]

In Stardew’s case, XNA is where the error originated (you can see it in the stack)

[night osprey]

like extremely bad. Awful. We joke about it being spaghetti code.

for a long time theres been a lot of things they couldn't implement, or had to implement in weird ways (biggest one is people wanting a proper glamor ssystem like transmog, but we got glamor dressers instead, purely because of how bad the original code it was built off of it is)

anyway sorry heavily off topic

[near mason]

hey all. so, i think i have some ghost mods or something? like, i removed something incorrectly and now its causing issues due to incompatibility

i was using aquarist and walk of life but when i went to update them i discovered they were deprecated and had been folded into the author's new aio, modular gameplay overhaul. i deleted those two and installed the new one, only smapi and gmcm still see them, mgo threw errors in smapi and when i leveled fishing to 10 just a minute ago i didnt get to choose a profession

[next spindle]

did you update the settings in modular overhaul, it doesn't have aquarism activated by default for example

[near mason]

i did go through and activate the modules i wanted but not much more than that

i was advised to parse my smapi log so i have that ready if needed

[next spindle]

yeah, you should post it and someone will help you

if not, ask the author himself, I see he updated the mod literally minutes ago and is likely watching the page for alerts lol

i know about pytk issues and public access tv missing a dependency, those aren't whaht's giving me trouble atm

[next spindle]

you have both modular overhaul and aquarism...

and walk of life...

delete the old stuff lol

[drifting atlas]

I do have a separate question - SMAPI 3.18.0 supposedly fixed multiplayer map edits. I'm running 3.18.1, but only the host in our game actually has an edited map, and the other players don't have SVE or East Scarpe locations shown properly. Is this a known issue?

[near mason]

i did, thats the thing. i deleted both of them from my mods folder. im looking at it now, they dont exist

[next spindle]

that's weird, is the log new, cus it lists those mods

[near mason]

yeah i know. that's why im so confused XD it's so weird, i've never had a mod get deleted and still exist. not even modding bethesda games

@cedar lark yep those portraits are supposed to go into another mod, I'm not sure which one so someone here may know

possibly HD portraits?

[glad zephyr]

I actually uninstalled that mod because it was old. But now I'm encountering another issue 😂 I tried to replace it with this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2738?tab=files&file_id=64041 but when I run the game it does not generate the config as it's meant to. I have the dependencies and have reinstalled it a few times....

[cedar lark]

HD portraits was for a different mod, I added for normal SDV and SVE

[night osprey]

can you repost your log here to see if someone else knows which mod they're supposed to go into?

ah looks like medisun got you in the other chat

hmm

[glad zephyr]

Could the fact that the day I just played used a different no-decay mod be causing the new decay mod to not function?

Maybe.... if I just live for a day without it.... the season just turned though so that kinda blows xD

[next spindle]

my friend really likes to put the 4 subfolders directly into the Mods folder, it seems to run okay, but is there a difference?

[lament vortex]

Not really, it might just make it more difficult to find the mod later if they wish to delete it or update it. They might possibly end up w dupes

I have installed a few new mods, Train Station, Mermaid Island and Stardew Aquarium.
My game worked fine yesterday. This morning, after installing these mods, My game freezes me when I take the bus back from the Desert. It simply stops working.
I have a screenshot of what it looks like. My curser vanishes and the game doesn't respond to anything, I have to tab out and shut it down by shutting down the Smapi prompt.
Not seeing any errors in the Smapi log, the game doesn't crash and shut down, it simply freezes
Can someone please help me figure out what is causing this?
Link to Smapi log attached. I also have a screenshot of the frozen game if needed.

pytk is missing

8 of your mods got screwed over because pytk is missing

[devout orbit]

Yeah, I removed it because it sais it was outdated and could be removed to prevent lag and stuttering

[calm heron]

txml is dependant on it

like, 4 of your mods are dependant on txml

*tmxl i mean

[devout orbit]

I'll put it back in and show you a new log

Just don't wanna have to resort to using a toitem every time I leave the desert, but if the bus locks my game up, one of the new mods HAS to be the problem

[calm heron]

if you want to take out pytk, gotta take out the stuff dependant on it too

[dapper gazelle]

did you recently install BusLocations for East Scarp?

[devout orbit]

yes I did @dapper gazelle - it hasn't caused any issues and is using the bus sign by the trainstation, not the bus ticket thingy by the desert

I'll try again to bus back from the desert

[dapper gazelle]

so um, anyway....... I do believe BusLocations may be affecting your return trip from the desert since after the update quite a number of people complained about getting locked up, very much in the manner you described. It could be that BL has an incompatibility with something else since I don't think it affects everyone

but BL does have to add the desert back into the ticket machine (that's what the BL Desert file is) so it's not impossible that it's doing something weird unfortunately.

[devout orbit]

Ah. That is a bit meh, but I guess I can just ride to East Scarp if I need to. I'll remove that mod and see if the Desert bus bugs on me then

I'll try to keep BusLocations and remove EastScapBus first

[dapper gazelle]

(fwiw the framework is not necessary if you don't have the ES component as you would just get to the desert by vanilla bus and it doesn't look like any of your other mods use BL)

[devout orbit]

I am not sure, but I think Stardew Aquarium uses Bus Locations

Cause you take the bus from the trainstation to go there

I'll let you know how this goes, game just takes a lifetime to load 😄

[dapper gazelle]

Train Station is what allows you to take the train to the Aquarium. It's a different mod.

[devout orbit]

Ah, it WAS the East Scarp BL causing problems. Thanks so much @dapper gazelle ❤️

[devout orbit]

Ooof! So, I played through the entire day, fished i the desert, bought seeds ad got o the bus - aaaad freeze! 😦

[dapper gazelle]

just to confirm: did you remove the framework or JUST the ES component xD

[devout orbit]

Just the ES component earlier. Now I have removed BusLocations completely and am gonna test to see if it works as normal again

I did a test, it worked fine. Starting playing like I normally would and boom, the problem came back. Went to read on the mod page on exusmods and it does seem the mod is causing trouble. Kindda sad, cause I wanted to try a fee mods that requires it 😦

@snow prism I just realised you are the author of Visible Fish (which I love). May I trouble you a bit more with a "bug report" of sort?
Basically I'm using Saltcliff Farm (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8191 - a beach farm replacement) and whenever I enter the farm (and the first time I exit for each save reload), SMAPI gives the error log "IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array".

It's probably because the map is a replacement. Is there anything I can do to prevent/stop that?
Note that the mod works fine otherwise (fish still show up and all). I just would rather not be alarmed by the red wall of texts every time I play. 😝

Hi everyone ! Anyone knows how to use a text edit to edit my skill to 10 ?Plus add items ( for example iridium bar) to my inventory ?

Easiest way to do that is mods.

You can probably change your skill level through save editing (I think?) But that's not recommended since it's easy to break stuff.

[drifting atlas]

would anybody be able to point me towards detailed info about the multiplayer map edit bug on older versions of SMAPI? I gather that it was supposed to be fixed with SMAPI v3.18.0, but my friends and I are running v3.18.1, and only the host of our game actually has a modded map, with the other players not seeing any SVE or East Scarp locations shown

[gaunt gust]

The specific issue was map changes (ie, unlocking RSV minecarts, etc.) not taking place until the game was relaunched

if you don't see SVE/ES locations at all it's not that

[drifting atlas]

oh, I see

I misunderstood what it meant by "map edits" then

to clarify, we can access those locations in game

I'm talking about them not showing up on the pause menu's map tab

has anyone ever encountered this?

[night osprey]

Hello! I'm trying to reload all my mods on my chromebook after an OS update caused a glitch and I can't find a smapi installer that will load. The error always says "these files are not supported on chromebook". Where can I find a smapi installer for Android that will work on my chromebook? Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. 🙂

[lament vortex]

The only installer is this one

!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.

@native dragon I've already done that, and the link leads to the .apk file that makes my chromebook say those files are not supported.

@lament vortex , how do I find that installer? I'm not super familiar with the file websites.

[lament vortex]

I honestly have no idea how to help, I don't own a chromebook. The android installer is an apk, because those are the file types for android apps

That's the only one that exists

Maybe try searching in Google

Okay, thanks so much. That's what I've been doing and I'm honestly not sure why chromebook OS won't recognize .apk files when it used to before. I'll keep working on it and see what I can come up with. I appreciate your assistance and I hope you have a happy New Year!

[shell condor]

i managed to fix the issue with warp snitch! if anyone's curious thurstan is not compatiable w/ sde thank yall so much for helping me 😄

[near terrace]

@crystal lichen you might want to check if your settings allow you to sideload apks, you may have to enable it yourself.

[coarse kettle]

I dropped the video in reddit as a question, but thought someone here might be able to help... any idea what this sound is and how to stop it?

https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/zz5rg1/what_is_this_ambient_sound_and_how_to_stop_it/

[mild talon]

Sounds like Tractor

Do you have the tractor sounds mod?

[coarse kettle]

yep

but if I jump on the tractor and go elsewhere, that noise goes away

[mild talon]

It seems to never end. I uninstallef

[coarse kettle]

Oh, that's it. Its the idling sound

thank you so much

[mild talon]

I thought I read on the TM page that the sounds would be included.. but I don't think so. My tractor is quiet. Better than the endless chugging noise imo

[crystal lichen]

@near terrace , When I download the installer, and try to run it, it shows up as an external storage device which I have to switch on, then it says it has to load Linux partition on my chromebook. I'm trying it now and I'll let you know if it works. My chromebook doesn't have a ton of storage so I hope it doesn't fill up. LOL 😉

[abstract pumice]

what's the normal cause of a mod added recipe not appearing in the shop? there's a recipe I need that should be sold by Gus, but it's not in his shop

my own temporary fix was to set IsDefault to true in the object json, while I was there I didn't see any purchase conditions either so I'm not sure why it was missing

[snow prism]

does the mod say its sold by gus?

[abstract pumice]

the modpage says gus or pierre, and I also checked pierre already

[fiery spade]

Would this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9081

Clash with the Earthy Interiors option to "Recolour FarmHouseFurniture"?

[mild talon]

If they're editing the same assets, I believe so

[fiery spade]

I honestly don't know. I'm confused

[mild talon]

There are many AT furniture recolor tho to mix and match

[lament vortex]

it does not

[fiery spade]

I would prefer not AT

[mild talon]

Or you can turn off Earthy Interiors furni recolor

Oh. There ya go!

[lament vortex]

or wait

[fiery spade]

What would it do then if I leave it checked on?

[mild talon]

I don't have DNEI was just guessing

[lament vortex]

no, yes it does. whichever mod loads last will override the other

[fiery spade]

Ok, thanks!

[mild talon]

If multiple mods try to edit the same assets you'll get a message from SMAPI saying so and that neither will be applied

[fiery spade]

I'll uncheck it for my farm interior.

[lament vortex]

i got confused bc i have both, but i remembered that i have that option turned off

[mild talon]

Double positive = negative (does that even make sense?)

[fiery spade]

Yep ty!

[abstract pumice]

if it helps, the mod is PPJA Even More Recipes

[near terrace]

Do you have Khadija's Recipe Shop installed as well, by any chance?

Or Garden Village?

[mild talon]

(What's the grapes mod fir sodas you mentioned - yours I think)

[near terrace]

Stardew Vineyard Pack for Artisanal Soda Makers

And yes, it's mine!

The grapes are from the Stardew Vineyard mod

[mild talon]

Thanks!

Just saw your BAGIs too.. omg. Thought I'd already tracked and downloaded but looks like it didn't stick.
Stoked to have more use for SV grapes. I use only silver+ for wines.

[abstract pumice]

yes I have khadija's recipe shop installed
does it mean it will appear there instead?

[near terrace]

Yep

[mild talon]

Sometimes there are unlock conditions for recipes too

[abstract pumice]

I know, the one I needed doesn't have unlock conditions

[near terrace]

KRS automatically removes supported stock from vanilla shops when you have it installed.

[abstract pumice]

so why do some other modded recipes still appear in vanilla shops then? is it because they don't support KRS?

[scenic pawn]

Hi everyone, I'm new here, is this where I can ask for help with mods? 🙂

[lament vortex]

yes, madglo, it's here!

[timid urchin]

how do you get spring onions in SVE?

[scenic pawn]

Well, I created a portrait mod for an npc (Shiko), but when I try to use it in my game it doesn't load because of an error, I've been wondering if it's because I play on mobile, so I would like to ask someone who plays on a computer for testing the mod for me (you need to have the Shiko NPC mod), thank you in advance https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y9i8a_BtsjK1US_ykurC1rtqkcg7TsNX/view?usp=drivesdk

I think the link should work

[snow prism]

https://litterbox.catbox.moe is better for sharing in my experience 😉

[lament vortex]

says you need permission, but i have to ask a few things: did you only do the portraits? as in, did you make any content.json or manifest.json?

[lament vortex]

or only edited the images?

[coarse cave]

you're missing a }

gimme a sec

this is what u have in the content.json{ "Format": "1.6.0", "Changes": [ { "Action": "EditImage", "Target": "Portraits/Shiko", "FromFile": "assets/Shiko.png", "When": { "HasMod":"Papaya.ShikoTakahashi", } ] ] }

youre opening the bracket after 'changes', and after 'when', but you only close it for the when condition

ohhh ur shiko portraits are sooo pretty+

this is technically more of a #making-mods-general convo though, but well

i dont have shiko though, and i don't rly want to work on converting her off pytk just for confirming it works - so try the second version of the content.json and see for urself

[scenic pawn]

Aaaa now I understand, I'll fix it. Thank you very much indeed for the help!!💖💖💖

[lament vortex]

np

[fleet moat]

I see what I'm supposed to do, but I don't understand what they want me to do. I know nothing of code or any computer stuff besides "here's the basics" so I'm completely lost

I tried to copy-paste the command in, but when I tried the command window just closed itself

Do I copy the code line into the second option in the command window?

[lament vortex]

can you share screenshots of what you're doing?

[fleet moat]

I apologise for taking a while, comouter is weird with screenshots so i need to crop them in order to show the information better

After that point trying to copy paste just closes the window

[near terrace]

You don't copy the line into the command window, you need to open steam and follow the steps in the guide

[fleet moat]

i think i got it

Would this be right?

I feel like this isn't right

[near terrace]

Why?

[fleet moat]

I'm just not sure. When i launch the game via steam, is it supposed to pull up the command center before launching the game? I haven't added any mods yet, how do I tell if it's working correctly?

Steam says I'm playing the normal Stardew valley when i hit the new launcher, again, is that normal?

[lament vortex]

smapi comes with 3 mods, error handler, save backup and console commands

if it opens the console first, which lists those three mods, it should be the modded game

if it doesn't, it's vanilla

[fleet moat]

I did the installer for vanilla before doing the separate launcher, do i uninstall the path for vanilla? or will that screw things up?

[lament vortex]

no, I don't think u should uninstall anything

if u uninstall vanilla, you'll also uninstall modded

[fleet moat]

So, where do I drop downloaded mods?

[lament vortex]

in your mods folder

!gettingstarted

[halcyon igloo]

does anyone use better chest's find in chest thing

ctrl+f

[fleet moat]

wait, is there a separate mod folder for Vanilla and the modded launcher or does it all go into the vanilla files?

[lament vortex]

i think it all goes in the same files

because smapi adds things to the vanilla files

and creates a mods folder and the three mods i mentioned above

but if you were to open the vanilla game, it just wouldn't read those extra files

[fleet moat]

I just want to ensure I'm not screwing up my ability to play the vanilla multiplayer save file I share with my girlfriend. I have a separate device i can use but I'd rather use my new computer if i can help it

[lament vortex]

my suggestion would be to open the vanilla game. if you don't get the console before it loads the game, you're all good

[fleet moat]

Just tested it, it works!

Thank you all so much for helping me!!!!

[lament vortex]

[fleet moat]

I just drop the mods into the mods folder, right?

[snow prism]

you have the nursery? (baby bed)

[little spire]

yes

one second I thought of something stupid let me check something

[snow prism]

.... goddamnit

ugh

ok try to check again inside the FarmHouse; is it still red then? x)

                if (split[i][0] == 'L')
                {
                    if (!(this is FarmHouse) || (this as FarmHouse).upgradeLevel < 2)
                    {
                        return -1;
                    }
                    continue;
                }```
why would this **ever** check whether you are in the farmhouse

:d

[lament vortex]

Yep, you have to unzip them first and delete the zip files afterwards

[solemn shoal]

Maaaaybe it was originally in base GameLocation, and was moved without removing that check?

[snow prism]

it is still in GameLocation

but like, if I want to start an event outside and then move into the farmhouse for example, I cant use that check

he could just check whether your farmhouse is >=level 2 without requiring you to be inside of it pfff :p

[gaunt gust]

transpiler time!

[snow prism]

na, wiki edit time

[little spire]

yeaaah it's still red

let me test out my stupid theory and i'll get back to you guys in a second

okay yeah no it's still red 😭

[halcyon igloo]

[halcyon igloo]

[mild talon]

Could it be like a custom farmhouse interfering somehow?
I thought I saw a prob re to that some time ago
Where the custom farmhouse upgraded wasn't recognized for some reason. Just tossing it out there

[long heath]

no

[halcyon igloo]

there's no downloads folder for your browser?

[long heath]

its not

how many times do i need to tell you

[halcyon igloo]

god before this year i never thought i would believe that unzipping a file is such boomer technology

[stray spire]

I've recently been told that Tractor Mod contains native tractor engine sounds, but in my game it still makes horse sounds and it doesn't come with any sound assets in the archive.
Am I missing something here?

[halcyon igloo]

did you right click

[neat plaza]

http://i.pil.ninja/image/lqwng.png

5th item from the top

such a kind person!

[neat plaza]

shift+f10

[halcyon igloo]

show more options

[long heath]

i did it and i extracted here but it did nothing

[neat plaza]

did you scroll down

[halcyon igloo]

sort your files by name

and look for the folder

refresh the window if you need to

[long heath]

wym

why isnt it extracting

[halcyon igloo]

it's probably extracted you're just not seeing it if you did indeed "extract here"

[neat plaza]

click on this

[halcyon igloo]

click on "Name" next to "Date Modified"

[long heath]

i gtg now

[little spire]

[lament vortex]

honestly, aura, i'd just debug the event atp LOL

[little spire]

THATS WHAT IM CONSIDERING TBH

[lament vortex]

or you should join the ES server

Arknir is there, and he might help you figure it out

Any quick way to just launch sdv as .exe ? I cannot seems to find my sdv folder even ( unmodded ) ( i play on mac )

[lament vortex]

i believe if u go to steam, open the game info, there'll be a cogwheel

if u click that, there shld be an option like find game files or smth of the sort

that should point u towards the game install

i cant say if just clicking on the stardew valley.exe will launch vanilla

Yes launching game through stardew valley.exe inside game folder will launch the game in vanilla

[mild talon]

I read that too, I think on the TM page. I don't hear any tractor noises. Not sure I hear horse noises from tractor, however.
I can say that trying the extra Tractor Sounds add-on pack didn't work well for me.. endless idling noises. Maybe it was on That page that mentioned "native tractor sounds" 🚜
I imagine I have an eco tesla tractor that's quiet and efficient

[long brook]

Move away mod zip files from the Mods folder, only put the extracted file inside Mods folder. Then elegant victorian interior is not smapi mod (xnb mod) as smapi said so don't use it. For warm cozy fireplace mod, it's empty

[stray spire]

at least I'm not alone
i'd prefer quiet but its definitely making horse sounds

[mild talon]

That's strange! Now I'll have to listen closely next time I hop on the eTractor

anyone got a substitute mod?

For replacing the sprites, you can probably use AT

There are other animals mods but IDK what's compatible w MP

AT will let you reskin all your farm animals and pets. Won't let you have more than one pet tho.

I love AT ❤️

ahh okay

yea i jus wanted a mod strictly for getting more animals

oh well

maybe one day 🙏

[mild talon]

1.6 is meant to make more animals, and many things easier

Won't be for a little while tho.. more precise eta hasn't been pinned down yet AFAIK

Apparently CA has one day left to drop 1.5 for mobile if he's still able to stick to the release plan

[lament vortex]

check #bulletin-board, mobile won't updated for now. he needs abt a week more, he says

[halcyon igloo]

he’s trying to unzip a rar lol

[mild talon]

Ah.. what step y'all at

[halcyon igloo]

finding the extracted folder lol

supposedly

they said that they extracted to here

[mild talon]

I've seen sessions here w newer players having trouble w these basic first steps and the people trying to help in the chat.. can be frustrating.

[halcyon igloo]

“extract here”

i’m curious as to what generation everyone identifies as

i’ve seen discourse about gen z and knowing how navigating directory structure actually works

[mild talon]

I'm a Millennial technically

[halcyon igloo]

but they have so many mods i’m so confused

[mild talon]

I knew Nothing when I started using mods.

And next to nothing about computers

[halcyon igloo]

idk i grew up pirating stuff on the internet basically lol

everything is compressed

even downloading folders from onedrive gives you .zip files

[mild talon]

Surprisingly I think I got set up on my own.. Can't remember the first time I came to discord for help. But I didn't even Know about it til like a month in

I had to ask on reddit What does RAR and 7ZiP MEAN? luckily got a kind answer.

[halcyon igloo]

it’s just baffling to me i never thought that that would end up being boomer technology

but millennials grew up with the infancy of the internet ig lol

things weren’t always so easy

[mild talon]

What's boomer technology?

[halcyon igloo]

like the boomer generation

old people skills lol

[mild talon]

Yeah... but the tech part

[halcyon igloo]

tech as in i literally never fathomed i would have to explain so hard how to extract a folder

[mild talon]

They have a 7zip program or the like already ?

[halcyon igloo]

yeah they’ve “extract here”

they just say the folder isn’t there

[gaunt gust]

yeah, 7zip doesn't update metadata

[mild talon]

? We need more specifics I guess. Here=downloads?

[gaunt gust]

so your folder is somewhere in the middle of the downloads folder, probably claiming to be years old

it's really annoying

[halcyon igloo]

that’s why i had them sort alphabetically by name

[unique ruin]

cats and dogs mod worked in multiplayer

[gaunt gust]

yeah, and the dlownalods folder is dumb and never wants to sort by name

I usually just delete my whole downloads folder XD it's a scratch place anyways

[mild talon]

So then once they find the unzipped folder they need to drag it into Mods? (Just seeing which step you're at)

[halcyon igloo]

yep

[mild talon]

So when they come back if I'm around I can try to move it forward

This isn't their first mod, is itM

[halcyon igloo]

i deleted all the old mod files i had sitting in my downloads folder but i have a bunch of academic papers named shit like “s276-183” that i’m afraid of needing

their name says 325 mods

[mild talon]

Oh. Huh. Maybe it's the first rar

[halcyon igloo]

i feel like it

[gaunt gust]

MENDELEY saved my life.

[mild talon]

Honestly once you have an extractor it's quite the same as the old zip files.. I'm using winRAR and they all go there. So I just move them to mods

[gaunt gust]

I'm only barely exagerating but it's free it's great and the annotation software is good and the auto bibtex generator is good too.

[mild talon]

Idk how 7zip lpoks.. if it's different

[mild sail]

Hey,
I was just gonna show my girlfriend how to mod Stardew for the first time when I noticed all the "Mod Manager Download" buttons are gone for the PPJA mods. What's up with that?

Does Nexus remove that button for mods that weren't updated in a while or something?

[gaunt gust]

It's because Vortex frequently mis-deploys mods

[mild talon]

Do it manually, it's the best

[gaunt gust]

mod authors turn that off when vortex users with vortex problems start getting annoying XD

[mild talon]

If you're getting the whole suite, it's recommended to use the JA versions. Esp for Farmer2Florist. FYI

[cedar lark]

Is Digus still active? Hoping their mods work with 1.6+

[mild sail]

Well yea, I wasn't gonna go with DGA since it wasnt fully updated

[mild talon]

Just spreading the word

They're all kinda old

[mild sail]

That's the first time I ever heard for that modding any game tbh :P

[mild talon]

But the flowers w dga mess up a lot of recipes in the mail. They don't show up

This is the first game I've ever used mods for haha
Happy it's simple

[mild sail]

Oof

[halcyon igloo]

i have zotero but like what if i NEED that 30 page supplementary material file i never read

[glad zephyr]

Ok I'm gonna try to get help with this again today 😛 I have the mod tilled soil decay https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2738
I deleted an old soil decay mod, waited 1 in-game day so that there wouldn't be some weird interraction, then installed this mod and ran it. But it won't make the config file. I've tried uninstalling, restarting the game over and over.

[cedar lark]

Esp mail services mod

[gaunt gust]

Mendeley lets me upload the SI as well

In my field at least I read the SI first

Xd

[mild talon]

He seems to be. He responds to posts regularly/promptly @cedar lark

[halcyon igloo]

i swear nature SI are like 12 times as long as the actual paper

figures first show me the charts bb

[mild sail]

I was gonna recommend her to download the files manually and add them to Vortex with "Install from File"

[cedar lark]

That's good to hear

[mild talon]

I think some mods have already been updated for 1.6 just not released yet. Even pytk according to SMAPI'S page on Nexus

[mild sail]

Wait what? 1.6?

[mild talon]

Anything else important that hasn't been by the time 1.6 comes will be converted

[gaunt gust]

Well that's where the data is!!!!

[mild talon]

1.6 SdV.. 4.0 SMAPI
I think they're same time

[mild talon]

Check the #bulletin-board

They share any updates from CA's Twitter

There's also a page on SDV wiki all about 1.6 WRT mods

[halcyon igloo]

and if i need it i will look LOL but if you can’t tell the story

[mild sail]

Well, I hope I can get PPJA working for her, the last 2 attempts to do it manually both crash the game :/
I never had any issues with Vortex before, so it sucks the author removed the download button
