I’m not sure how it started but since yesterday I’ve been dealing with big lag spikes in the game

The game runs smoothly, but at some times when I’m playing the game, it lags really bad, I have no clue how to fix the lagging issue

[lament prairie]

!profiler see what this says

[native dragon]

Profiler https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/12135 is a mod that can help you narrow down what's causing lag

[dire fractal]

For me?

[dusty spruce]

yeah

[neat plaza]

werent you suggested a few days ago to wait for 1.5 smapi

[lofty fern]

Hi, I'm playing a modded run with some friends in multiplayer. However, I've been suffering with terrible lag problems when I was playing until the point that I got stuck in infinite loading screens whenever I tried changing areas. Things got worse and now I cannot join the match since I get stuck in the initial loading screen and it never ends loading. The other day I spent like 4 hours loading and nothing happened. The only way I can play one day is unistalling Stardew and the mods we're using and reinstalling them both again. I say one day because when we are trying to sleep in order to get to the next day, we all get stuck in a black screen until I close the game (sometimes I see 4/4 players but they all see 3/4 and we get stuck there). After that, the problem persists and I'm unable to rejoin the multiplayer session.

I leave here the parser link in case it helps to find a solution https://smapi.io/log/b6dd1b2d74bf4e4c8dc8f5fbd576b99f

Thanks in advanced ❤️

[summer cloak]

Hi, I'm just now trying to install mods for SV for the first time and I went to Nexus Mod and installed SMAPI per instructions, but when I try to install anything else, it says SMAPI is missing. I'm not sure what to do, this is my first experience with mods on this game ever. I tried launching the game and it didn't seem to load anything different than it usually does.

For reference - I'm on PC using steam

[lament prairie]

ok, first off Nexus has no idea what you do and don't have, it just gives reminders

secondly, you probably didn't set launch options

!launchoptions

[native dragon]

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

[summer cloak]

Is this in the properties folder on Steam? I took the install location from SMAPI and pasted it into the launcher options if that's what you mean

[neat plaza]

there's no property "folder"?

[summer cloak]

I'm not sure if you're asking me if there is a folder or if you're saying one doesn't exist so you're confused about my post.

[neat plaza]

what folder

[lament prairie]

Hmm, when you launch the game wha'ts the icon?

Is it a chicken or is it a pufferfish crossed with a chicken or is it a red MG?

[summer cloak]

I right click stardew in Steam, I choose "Properties", I go to General, I paste the string into the Launch Options

[neat plaza]

that's not a folder

[lament prairie]

Ok but that sounds right as a process

and if the game is still launching you probably put the right thing in

Usually when people put the wrong thing there the game refuses to launch

[summer cloak]

Yes the game still launches, let me check the icon. Where would I see the different one?

[robust bison]

top left

[lament prairie]

just like in the toolbar or wherever

[summer cloak]

Oh

[lament prairie]

whatever the windows equivalent of the dock is

[summer cloak]

SMAPI pulled up this time, it didn't last time

[lament prairie]

Huh, well that's progress then!

[summer cloak]

It's a chicken

[lament prairie]

So if nexus tells you "this mod requires SMAPI" you can ignore that and go "ah, but I have SMAPI!"

Wait it's a chicken?

[summer cloak]

Yes

[lament prairie]

Chicken is the normal game

Pufferchick like Arcane has is SMAPI

[summer cloak]

On the SMAPI popup, it shows a chicken

[lament prairie]

Can you screenshot the popup?

[summer cloak]

Sorry, I didn't realize there's a difference. It's the pufferchick

[lament prairie]

okay, great

Nexus reminders about requirements happen no matter what your computer does or doesn't have, since they have no way of telling

[summer cloak]

So I try to install something on Nexus by clicking Manual fo rthe download, and it loads for a bit then gives me a "the content could not be loaded" error that hyperlinks to SMAPI

[lament prairie]

hit download from there?

[neat plaza]

what happens when you press download

[summer cloak]

...

I feel stupid

I'm so sorry

[lament prairie]

no worries, nexus can be confusing first time around

[summer cloak]

It took me to the download for that mod. I just figured it was trying to get me to install SMAPI again

Thank you all for your help! I appreciate it!

[rancid widget]

hi im trying to install DCBurger's High Res Portrait Mod (CP) and already have smapi, cp and toolkit (requirements) but the mod itself is not actually installing?

idk what's wrong atp

[robust bison]

you mean it's not downloading?

[rancid widget]

yeah

[robust bison]

and the manual download link leads to the second page?

[rancid widget]

yup

[robust bison]

weird

are you using a vpn or antivirus

or firewall

[rancid widget]

[robust bison]

can you temporarily disable it

[abstract wedge]

when I interact with npcs from stardew valley expanded, they get duplicated.. wtf?

I dont want to lose my progress :C im almost at year 3..

[neat plaza]

what's your issue

oooh the duplication thing

[robust bison]

I see this issue a lot but never remember the fix

can you switch from multiple spouses to free love

[lament prairie]

idk if there's a fix, maybe try custom npc fixes or something?

i think they go back to normal the next day?

[abstract wedge]

how do I do that?

[robust bison]

uninstall the old mod and install the new one

[abstract wedge]

will my game crash if I unistall the other mod?

[robust bison]

free love is the updated version

[icy topaz]

does anyone use the easy fishing mod? i put the easy fishing 75% in the folder mas idk if its compatible with sve

cause the puppyfish is still damn hard to catch

[crimson lichen]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9485

^this is the SVE version

[fair echo]

Is it a usual bug when a spouse dissappears. Happens sometimes when going to bed at sleeping time. Mod I use is Free love and married with Sophia(SVE), Abigail, and Haley. Sometimes they appear on a wall or out of bounds. I married them using Multiple spouse mod but then switched to free love mod. They glitchy when asleep together in a single spot on a double bed. And sometimes i spawn on a different bed that i placed inside the house (i have 3 beds placed inside house all). Do i have to divorce and remarry all of em to fix the glitches?

[peak forge]

i have an issue where NPC map locations wont work, the mod isnt red or anything, it just doesnt load

[lunar mesa]

hi im still having the same problem, i have uninstalled and installed. the coop skin is fine until i sleep the next day, when it saves something happens and it goes back to the original skin

[odd nest]

Hi so I am really not skilled with working with mods, very new with playing with them, but I think I am having some kind of error with SVE and a reward not spawning, if someone has some advice ?

OpenGL, but why?

[static lodge]

um, because i want to run some programs through it

[dusty spruce]

Ameise is allergic to reshades

[lavish marlin]

Mainly because they don't work particularly well with SDV :/

[peak forge]

just added a lot of new mods and now my game wont load

nothings conflicting

[long brook]

Won't load as in freeze when load a save?

[peak forge]

yes

[summer swan]

Wait 5 minutes.

[peak forge]

and freeze when launching a new save

[summer swan]

Without clicking etc.

[peak forge]

will do

[long brook]

How loang did you wait? And also did you do something as clicking?

[peak forge]

like 20 seconds, max lmao

ill wait for 5 now

[long brook]

Be patient

[summer swan]

Depending on what mods / how many you use it can take several minutes to start the game and to load the save / create a new game.

[peak forge]

i shall wait paitently

we fixed the mismatched content packs, i had an outfit pack she didnt have but she downloaded it and it still didnt work

Yes. The SMAPI window is the console.

[peak forge]

alrighty

ive swapped over to mobile while i wait

[long brook]

Delete a folder named assets from inside Mods folder for both of you

[patent terrace]

We tried that

Didn't work

[long brook]

!mphelp And also this

[native dragon]

For connection issues in multiplayer see the pinned post in #vanilla-tech-support (<#vanilla-tech-support message>) and also the wiki troubleshooting page (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Can.27t_connect_to_another_player_in_multiplayer).

[peak forge]

aey we’ve loaded!

[patent terrace]

It was from the natural clock mod

[peak forge]

i think it was because i was trying to add that text before the game loaded into a save 😅

[summer swan]

Give the poor game enough time to prepare everything. 😛
But yes: For such things the save needs to be loaded completely.

[peak forge]

thanks again!

also i got npc to work

npc map locations*

[patent terrace]

So the only one we haven't tried is making another instance of the game and closing the old one. Everything else we've tried

[long brook]

It's an old mod and the author forgot to make main folder fot the mod. You can make a folder named Natural Clock (inside Mods folder) then unzip/extract the zip file into that folder. That should fix natural clock not detected. As for mp problem, try link !mphelp link above

[static lodge]

Reshade isn't bad

[potent atlas]

specific question, here. i get a lot of loose mods, and especially ones that just give me a png file. if i'm given a png file for spring objects, what do i do? i pasted it in the content-maps and it didn't work. am i a goose? (i dont know how to merge!)

[lament prairie]

so, that kind of thing requires a lot more work on your end

[potent atlas]

its worth it to make my crab pots into frogs ; - ;

[lament prairie]

you have several choices:

• write a content patcher mod for the png
• dump it into a different content patcher mod that already exists
• make it into a different kind of mod

also the terrible option

which is xnb mods

[crimson lichen]

is it just the crab pots?

[potent atlas]

yes! just the crab pots

[lament prairie]

keep in mind these can all have compatibility issues potentially

[halcyon igloo]

did you get a bunch of mods from naver or sth lol

[potent atlas]

... yes

[crimson lichen]

that is cute

[halcyon igloo]

we ❤️ naver but also they have next to zero clue how to use CP or AT or the newer frameworks

[potent atlas]

isnt it?

i dont know how to do any cp stuff

[halcyon igloo]

so you have to create the files yourself

!cp the docs are really helpful!

[native dragon]

Content Patcher (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1915) is a mod which loads content packs to change the game's images and data without replacing XNB files. If you want to make mods using Content Patcher, start at https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Content_Patcher.

[halcyon igloo]

it's really not that bad and you can always ask for help (:

[potent atlas]

ok i have a silly question

do i need to write a config/manifest for it or can i just put it in a folder

[crimson lichen]

manifest yes

[lament prairie]

you need a manifest anda. content.json

[halcyon igloo]

i also wrote a small converter for CP to AT but you need to write a generic content.json if none is provided

[lament prairie]

but no config needed

[crimson lichen]

config no

[potent atlas]

scratching my head here... alright, one more question

[halcyon igloo]

the config will be generated automatically if the content.json specifies config options

[potent atlas]

1. how do you have 751 mods? 2. theres also a food png i dont know what to do with

[rose vessel]

okay so, two things to note. one is that the blue package mod is trying to overwrite some of the buildings as well

and the second is that apparently in that the yellog buildings mod it cannot find the grass asset

[halcyon igloo]

like a hundred of them change one thing lol

the food png you'd also need to write content patcher files for

[lunar mesa]

but what does grass have to do with the chicken coop bulding

[rose vessel]

you can sort your log to show the errors only and you can see those two errors at the bottom

[crimson lichen]

the food png is the same, content patcher

[halcyon igloo]

what chicken coop mod is it again?

[rose vessel]

it might not be, but if it fails to load something the textures might get reset

[lunar mesa]

ok brb

[rose vessel]

there's an option to have the buildings without the grass if you want that

on yellog's blog she has two downloads, one with grass and one without

so try redownloading and deleting the blue package mod that's conflicting with it

and that should probably solve it

[lunar mesa]

its yellog;s wood buildings grass

[lunar mesa]

alr

[halcyon igloo]

do you have a link

[potent atlas]

yellogs hasn't been working at all (at least for me)

[halcyon igloo]

nvm we've got it lol

[crimson lichen]

i have so many json assets mods that add crops and stuff,tons of alternative textures mods which change how things look, and tons of fashion sense mods which add clothing lol

[rose vessel]

https://yellog.postype.com/post/11565362

[halcyon igloo]

oh they use a Load hmm

[rose vessel]

it should work though, i've used them in the past and i know people who use them with no issue

[halcyon igloo]

harder if you have a conflict though

[rose vessel]

yeah definitely, that's why they should delete the mod conflicting

and redownload so that they don't get the grass error

or just download the version without the grass if they don't want it

[halcyon igloo]

that shouldn't do anything to Buildings though it's a different target

[lunar mesa]

the page was taken down and i cant find it in my game 😭

search for 0good in your mods folder

[potent atlas]

ITS SO CUTE. but, um... okay, i used the grey cat. does that effect it not loading?

did i need to pick the orange cat?

[summer swan]

Ah. You might have to edit the content or config. Does the mod page say anything about it?

[potent atlas]

oh i should check that

the config

[summer swan]

And you might also reinstall SMAPI as you're missing error handler for some reasons.

[potent atlas]

oh its been saying that forever weirdly

[rose vessel]

try blue package?

[halcyon igloo]

it's [CP] Mushroom Big Shed

[rose vessel]

looking at the posts section of this mod seems like it isn't properly coded and there's a dyi fix

[potent atlas]

oop ok

[lunar mesa]

the log i posted was from like 4 pm so im just gonna make a new one

[rose vessel]

is it mushroom big shed?

[halcyon igloo]

it's mushroom big shed

post a log where you build the shed and then walk out and in to see it changed

[summer swan]

Check the comments for the one thing and as for your cat: It's grey one? That's cat1.png

[halcyon igloo]

cat.png is the orange cat

[potent atlas]

sorry my very small brain is having a very hard time haha

where am i putting cat1 x.x

[summer swan]

cat = orange, cat1 = grey and cat2 = yellow
cat needs to be changed to cat1

[lunar mesa]

ive never built it so ill just delete it

[halcyon igloo]

whatever reproduces the error lol

[potent atlas]

this?

[halcyon igloo]

you didn't change it to cat1 lol

[potent atlas]

oh

sorry i'm a bit new to editing thingies

[summer swan]

"Target": "Animals/cat1", <<-- For both cases.

[lunar mesa]

even though it took awhile, i want to thank you guys for helping me because sometimes its hard trying to figure out what to do, and some mods that u dont even think of can mess up things

[rose vessel]

you're welcome! does it work now?

[potent atlas]

should just this fix it or do i do what else is in the suggestion?

[halcyon igloo]

try it with just that first

[potent atlas]

yes'm!

that's probably part of the asset
you can check it in tiled maybe and erase it

[summer swan]

"A few errors"

[potent atlas]

basically, i don't have any HD portraits for those specific characters. and the slightly cuter characters issue is that i deleted the farmer assets but want to keep the villager assets/sprites

i just refuse to touch it because i spent 400 hours trying to download these sleeves

[lunar mesa]

i think its good! i did all the test so thank you!

[summer swan]

Maybe starting at the top: You reinstalled SMAPI and still have no error handler?

[halcyon igloo]

i think you just can't customize that floor lol

[potent atlas]

no like i just had it earlier and i downloaded a mod and it messed it up but IDK WHAT MOD

ok let me re-download actually

[summer swan]

And you removed pytk and mail framework but not the mods depending on them?

[halcyon igloo]

i feel like there's one of those floors that i just can't decorate lol but i haven't tried in a while

[potent atlas]

oh i forgot about those

which m-mods...

[summer swan]

Holy do they have a savegame issue? Not entirely sure how to interpret "mentioning of savegame".

thats good right

oh. yeah.

i should do that

also i have no idea where these mods are

the first one should be a folder called LFM and it's retextures of the food items

alright so

i have no portraits for all these people

[summer swan]

Obviously they're missing.

[potent atlas]

yes so i just left it empty

and it goes BANANAS

[summer swan]

Yes, because you don't just simply delete pngs for things you don't want to use.

[potent atlas]

oh

but it doesn't effect anything in the game

[summer swan]

You remember the thing you did before with the cat? You told the game "use x png instead of y png" in the content.json.

If you remove x png you get exactly those errors.

[potent atlas]

how do i refill it?

[halcyon igloo]

lux's food mod just updated with a non-PyTK version

[potent atlas]

:O

[summer swan]

Do you want to use the pngs from HD Portrait? Reinstall HD Portrait.

[potent atlas]

okay so

this is complicated for me

the mod is a template mod for hd portraits because i don't know how to make mods to load portraits without portratiure

and i didnt delete any pngs, it just isnt filled with pngs to load those characters

so the game is like hey wheres the pngs? and i dont have the pngs because i dont have those characters

[long brook]

You can delete the code for any portrait you fon't have i guess so smapi won't ask for it

[potent atlas]

i just have to fill this with my (super cute) portraits

and the mod is like hey wheres ur replacement for snail guy and im like i dont have it

[halcyon igloo]

delete all the changes that refer to non-existent files lol

[potent atlas]

how do i do that ; - ;

[summer swan]

You open the content.json.

[potent atlas]

oh right

[summer swan]

But first: Backup of the file "somewhere" (desktop wherever).

[potent atlas]

do i just delete the people i dont have it for?

backup acquired

[summer swan]

Yes. And you're carfule.

[potent atlas]

[long brook]

It's good to be careful

[potent atlas]

silly question

[summer swan]

{
"Action":
"Target":
"FromFile":
},
This is what you delete per person.

[potent atlas]

OOOH let me sc that

[summer swan]

Of course with the stuff after "Action" etc.

[potent atlas]

how do i deal with the slightly cuter characters wanting to load my farmer but i dont want it to load my farmer so i deleted the pngs so my xnb can override it?

i know it was a very silly idea

[summer swan]

You want to use slightly cuter character but not for the farmer?

[potent atlas]

yes because it loads my sprites for my other characters!

i dont know how else to load the pngs for the townies

[summer swan]

If so: Same as for npcs: content.json and remove the part for the farmer (backup first).

[potent atlas]

oh thats a very wise idea

what part am i deleting specifically? the farmer?

[summer swan]

And for the xnb: If you no longer need it restore it to vanilla.

[potent atlas]

just the swimmy?

[halcyon igloo]

so much going on in the server today lol

[potent atlas]

im sorry im a boatload of problems here

my games hanging on by a thread

i dont even know how i loaded my sleeves mod its just in there and i trust it

[halcyon igloo]

what sleeves lol

[potent atlas]

okay so

[halcyon igloo]

a lot of sleeves just have issues

[potent atlas]

its those naver sleeves

[summer swan]

And we're not at the house issue yet.

[potent atlas]

and i literally have no idea where/when i downloaded them

they are just in my game

everything is in my slightly cuter sprites area

[halcyon igloo]

the seasonal garden farmhouse thing is just a warning lol i think it's fine

[potent atlas]

so im terrified to touch it

[rose vessel]

suspicion not to be that person but you didn't need to delete the farmer images lol

you could just toggle the farmerbase config to off

[summer swan]

I meant the issue with the floor below the crib.

[potent atlas]

oh i didnt know how

[rose vessel]

with generic mod config menu

[summer swan]

You've GMCM installed?

[potent atlas]

im a goofy goober...

[summer swan]

If not: You want that. Allows you to change lots of configs from the main menu instead of config.json edits. 😉

[potent atlas]

; - ;

let me uppppdate.... the smapi

[summer swan]

GMCM is not a hard requirement for lots of mods which is why you might not have come across it.

it's not a hard requirement for any mods as a matter of fact lol

except the gmcmoptions which adds more stuff to it

[potent atlas]

i just need to do the HD portrait delete thing

but im unsure as to how the floor is all weird

[clear canopy]

My animals arent goingn back in their homes, im modded, but im now in year 2 and this has never happened before. any fixes?

[summer swan]

I wasn't 100% sure if there is really 0 mod setting it as hard requirement.

[rose vessel]

there is 0 besides the one mentioned, it just edits configs for you

[summer swan]

Go into your house (shed, greenhouse, whatever but no coop or barn), leave it after 8 in the evening (wait 10 ingame minutes). The game should have moved them inside their home.

[potent atlas]

on the sleeves/slightly cuter fear/issues... months and months ago, someone helped me download sleeves/sprites and i simply HAVE NOT touched it. i have no idea how to redownload sleeves, where they are from... they are just THERE

[clear canopy]

alright ill try

[long brook]

I think it's 5 pm fo animal to go back to thier coop/barn

[lunar mesa]

yes

[potent atlas]

kuro do yuo see anything wrong with my smapi

[summer swan]

Yes, but they not always find their way back. And to give them a bit of time 8 in the evening is usually a good time to do the "Game... be so nice and move them". Trying it around 5-6 doesn't always work. 🤷‍♀️

[lunar mesa]

it didnt stay 😦 it makes sense though, cause ive had that shrooom shed for years...idk what it is

[long brook]

Not necessarily after 8. If an animal doesn't automatically go back, just go inside house or outside farm. The animal will be inside after you get back to farm

[long brook]

And this worka for me eveytime

[halcyon igloo]

i'm trying to find a reference to sleeves in your mods suspicious and i'm not coming up with anything besides the rural outfitters pack lol

[potent atlas]

the problem? it was a naver mod. it could be ANYWHERE. xnb, etc.

[summer swan]

You still have the zip of the mod?

[lunar mesa]

this is the only thing i see for yellog

[potent atlas]

nope :')

[summer swan]

You're sure it's xnb?

[halcyon igloo]

can you post the whole log again

[potent atlas]

wait a darn second...

You can check your gamefolder if an xnb has any "unusual" date that doesn't look like installation date. 🤷‍♀️

[potent atlas]

i'm assuming this is... something important..

[halcyon igloo]

oh hey you do have do eun's body lol

[potent atlas]

yes

but where did i get tHE SLEEVES

[summer swan]

Or you could simply find the folder. 😅

[potent atlas]

itching my head here

[halcyon igloo]

you have the sleeves or you don't have the sleeves and you're trying to find them again?

[potent atlas]

this is a backup folder

i have no idea where the body folder is in my game

[summer swan]

Do the sleeves work ingame? Could post a picture in #modded-stardew

[potent atlas]

so i have do's body + sleeves SOMEWHERE

[potent atlas]

yes!

[halcyon igloo]

i don't think they can post pics in other channels yet since they're not cowpoke

[potent atlas]

these sleeves

i ssay 'these sleeves' but they're loaded

[halcyon igloo]

can you do me a favor and check your fashion sense lol

[potent atlas]

i pinky promise it isnt in there

[halcyon igloo]

slash you have oversized sleeves installed

[potent atlas]

i downloaded that like 2 days ago

do i???

[halcyon igloo]

or is that my log lol hmm one sec

[lunar mesa]

are u talking to me?

[halcyon igloo]

yes

[lunar mesa]

yeah

[potent atlas]

nothing about that in my fashion sense. maybe rural?

[halcyon igloo]

i'm not remembering that rural doesn't do sleeves

[potent atlas]

i could theoretically just go through every single folder i have in search of sleeves

its some naver png mod

FOUND IT

[halcyon igloo]

sleeeeeves

[potent atlas]

i think?

whatever i found SOME sleeves that exist in the world

let me just bookmark oversized sleeves incase

okay, the final hurdle: the weird tilesheets in my house. should ii update the house?

[halcyon igloo]

lam's oversized sleeves is glitchy

[potent atlas]

oh dear lord we're never going to get sleeves in this household

[halcyon igloo]

there's a guide on how to fix that error in the wiki somewhere

i just use the fashion sense oversized sleeves if i want oversized sleeves lol

[potent atlas]

i throw everything in a folder and pray

[halcyon igloo]

why is greenhouse entry begone editing the coop

[potent atlas]

i dont even have that.. is that bite?

[halcyon igloo]

yeah lol

[potent atlas]

wait where, let me see

i had that mod

let me also inspect this

no wait why IS it doing that

[halcyon igloo]

apparently it also gets rid of shadows for other buildings

[potent atlas]

could that conflict with the yellog building?

[summer swan]

It has options for all buildings to get rid of shadows.

[potent atlas]

maybe they can turn that off in the config?

[summer swan]

Yes. You can toggle it on / off for each building.

[potent atlas]

could that be conflicting with the yellog mod/not allowing it to load, etc?

[summer swan]

I had no issues with the Japanese buildings in that regard. But doesn't mean it's the same for the yellog ones.

[potent atlas]

i could download the yellog mods to test that theory out

on a side note, what should i do about the weird tilesheets in my baby room?

[kindred bronze]

im struggling to find the fix in the comments hehe

[summer swan]

Everything else looks as intended?

[potent atlas]

yes! i think i found the comment, btw

[summer swan]

Ok. Somebody already fixed it.

[potent atlas]

let me see if this works!

[summer swan]

When you're done solving the issues (sleeves, portrait etc): Load your save and check if the error message for your save is still there. I don't know if it's an issue or not but red in regards to savegames is probably never good.

[potent atlas]

its always there unfort

the tilesheets thing is giving me anxiety its not working LOL

[summer swan]

Wait. Which tilesheets thing?

[potent atlas]

i need to add this to this, but dont know where

in the 1.5 section i believe, which im in

[summer swan]

Add it at the end.

Right above //MapsMain

[potent atlas]

like this?

[summer swan]

Yes.

[potent atlas]

it worked!

[lunar mesa]

ok im back

[vale halo]

anybody know if i can tell SMAPI on mac which terminal to use?
i use iterm2 as my default terminal, but SMAPI still launches terminal instead of iterm2

[halcyon igloo]

that's mac right

[lunar mesa]

you said something about a map

[halcyon igloo]

tbh i have no idea why your game would be doing this lol

you can try disabling greenhouse entry begone in your configs

[lucid cairn]

How can I create folder with mods on vortex to share with my friends?

[lunar mesa]

LMAOO

[halcyon igloo]

i don't think many people here use vortex bc most of us manually manage our mods, but i believe it would be a collection? if that works ._.

[halcyon igloo]

did that fix it lol

[lunar mesa]

oh shit let me see

[halcyon igloo]

it's literally the only other thing i can see editing the coops in your log lol

[lunar mesa]

i didnt do anything but it doesnt seem to be glitched anymore

[halcyon igloo]

my last resort is to just change all the Loads into EditImages

[lunar mesa]

idk what that means

[halcyon igloo]

in the content.json file for the mod

but lol it's fine now? and you didn't change greenhouse entry begone or anything?

[lunar mesa]

no 😂 idk what it does

ill see if it happens again

[summer swan]

Check in the gmcm if you've the shadows for the coop enabled / disabled in Greenhouse Entry Begone (if it was the coop). You can enable / disable it for each building.

[lunar mesa]

whats gmcm

[summer swan]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5098

[lunar mesa]

og that ok

ty

[summer swan]

In short: You don't have to edit the config.jsons and can just do it ingame (bottom left when in the main menu). Some things can also be done after loading the save (below the screenshot button).

nope. that's where it's super concerning

Go to the folder. Move the Annabelle_number folder to your Desktop.

[potent atlas]

which folder, sorry?

[summer swan]

Annabelle_186095991

[potent atlas]

wait where would that folder be

[summer swan]

C:\Users\Sierra\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\Saves\Annabelle_186095991 <<-- There.
If that's not the save you're trying to load move it "elsewhere" for now.

Dumb question and I'm most likely wrong: How much cash did the save had? 😅

maybe

[summer swan]

Just trying something:

oh that save is corrupt as all hell

LOL

[summer swan]

It can go to the trash bin afterwards. I would just like to know. 😅

[potent atlas]

no yeah sure give me a sec

[potent atlas]

same issue

[summer swan]

Ok. Then I was wrong as it seems. But yeah: If it's corrupt anyway just delete it. 🙂

discarded and thrown to the wind

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

Can't click on Co-Op mode, I can click new, or load but when any of us click Co-Op we cant " Log it "

[lament prairie]

this is a quote from the first person who fixed this exact bug

idk how to fix it myself because gamepass is a mystery

but you can also search this text on this discord for more context

it's a recurring bug, if I knew how to explain it better I would

If you can explain it better with the context of seeing gamepass, please feel free to take a shot

[halcyon nexus]

Super easy, Install SMAPI like normal, But Gamepass users need to do This too!

That fixed Co-Op for me

how do i make pngs into xnbs? im on android btw

[sleek tartan]

Hey everyone~ question, what's going on here? how can i fix it?

[halcyon igloo]

you need to unpack the XNBs and then also write the assets into a content patcher or alternative textures mod. also there is no smapi for android rn on 1.5

[halcyon igloo]

what mod is this? you have half a replacement going on lol

[ornate tide]

can't fix it, its museum expansion and town buildings overlapping

[sleek tartan]

oh, thank you! ❤️

[boreal thunder]

Did UI info suite 2 lose the ability to tell what products are in the bundles? I can't see it in the options anymore, just coming back to the game from a break and I can never remember exactly what fish are what

[sleek tartan]

as far as I remember I have a museum expansion that has an npc called Charlie, SVE and the seasonal recolors

[halcyon igloo]

something isn't replacing this bit of the museum lol it might be an oversight but i'd expect it to have come up with someone else too at this point

[dapper gazelle]

it's b/c she's using Flower Valley I think but the Museum expansion mod also changes the building

(you can see the extra door on the right hand side)

Flower Valley doesn't have a patch for this, so issa mess xD

I ran into the same issue b/c I merged the facade from Foliage Redone's museum with VPR... and was trying to use that museum expansion mod too and while it wasn't as dramatic as Siri's issue, it still was a muddled mess so I uninstalled the expansion mod lol

[sleek tartan]

oh my

thank you so much, I am using flower valley indeed!

well it doesnt really bother me... I just wanted to know why it was happening, if that's the price to pay for pretty flowers then so be it!

[dapper gazelle]

just pretend the library portion and the museum portion couldn't agree on a look and went with two halves

[sleek tartan]

wait... there's another door there???

not me just noticing..

[boreal thunder]

what mod has the tooltip that shows what bundle an item is in?

[sleek tartan]

I would have never noticed if it wasnt for you hahahh

[dapper gazelle]

the tree is partially obscuring it!

looks like a questline to fix it up waiting to happen!

[sleek tartan]

hell yeah, it is!!

no wonder charlie was waiting for me in the library

so i got earthy recolours (nexus) it works great but my building didn’t change only my map anyone know why?

[long brook]

Earthy recolor doesn't change building, only recoloring to match the tone i guess. You need something like elle's building mod to change that

Help

Is it a usual bug when a spouse dissappears. Happens sometimes when going to bed at sleeping time. Mod I use is Free love and married with Sophia(SVE), Abigail, and Haley. Sometimes they appear on a wall or out of bounds. I married them using Multiple spouse mod but then switched to free love mod. They glitchy when asleep together in a single spot on a double bed. And sometimes i spawn on a different bed that i placed inside the house (i have 3 beds placed inside house all). Do i have to divorce and remarry all of em to fix the glitches?

[plain plinth]

On the mods that mentioned objects but none of them are manifest.json what does that mean? I fixed the sprinkler thing but idk how to fix this

[lament prairie]

you appear to have a horribly mangled JA mod

It's still doing it

Still says I need 3.15 or better but that can't be right cause I literally downloaded the newest one

[long brook]

Oh you use vortex. Idk how to do in vortex as you gotta manually install the mod i guess

[long brook]

Install too, not only download

[hearty hazel]

how do I manually install?

[plain plinth]

I put it with the other files

[long brook]

By download the zip file and place it in Mods folder inside game folder

[long brook]

Did you run the new installer?

[hearty hazel]

so download zip file, open mods folder, and just put it in there? do I need to replace any existing files?

[plain plinth]

Yeah i clossed it all out

closed*

[robust bison]

no

[long brook]

So did you download smapi 3.18.2 installer then run the installer?

[plain plinth]

I ran the game

[long brook]

Close the game. Run newest smapi installer to update smapi

[plain plinth]

so good news

It got the sprinkler thing fixed

But still has all that red saying...

but none of them are manifest.json

[long brook]

That's ja error, the next problem we wanna solve. Delete all those folder and reinstall all ja mods. They should be insde a main folder that contain manifest.json

[plain plinth]

Alright

[hearty hazel]

am i able to send a photo of my mod file? I just want to confirm this is the file i put the downloaded mod folder into

[long brook]

Yes you can send screenshot here

[plain plinth]

would it be the JsonAssets file?

[hearty hazel]

i blocked out my name in the folder path thing but that's where all my other mods are

[long brook]

The that you need to delete? Just content and object folder. Those are loose file that needs to be inside a main folder (sometimes named [JA] something)

[plain plinth]

The only one with the JA is the Fantasy Crops

[long brook]

Should be good. But that's why vortex isn't recommended for modding sdv as it work differently with manual installed mods

[long brook]

Reinstall all ja assets you install, and also after that can you screnshot your Mods folder just to be sure everything is in right place

[hearty hazel]

I've just been using vortex because it does most the work for you, i've just been afraid to tamper with the wrong file and screw up my game. But ill try manually putting the downloaded file in there and see if it works

[plain plinth]

Well I deleted the 2 i said about and it's still showing that error crap

[long brook]

I suggest manual install all you mod or using stardrop mod manager instead of vortex

[plain plinth]

want me to resend the log file?

[long brook]

Make a new log. Your log will change after you delete those files and run the game again

[halcyon igloo]

it’s gonna be hard to truly screw up your game even with manual installation. usually it’s that the mods just won’t work but everything can be fixed

[long brook]

And also to manual install mod, Mods folder is in your game folder, not in apodata like vortex

[hearty hazel]

this is the folder i want to move right? just games and that mods folder? And the portrait is a zip file so i need to unzip it right?

[long brook]

Can you check which zip file that doesn't have main folder for ja asset mod?

[long brook]

Yes correct

[hearty hazel]

ok let me try that.

[plain plinth]

how do i check that exactly? Sorry for being so difficult DX

[hearty hazel]

do i press extract all?

[long brook]

So you still have Content nad Object folder inside Mods folder. Those are the long red taxt that smapi show you. Delete those

[long brook]

Yes, and then move the zip file somewhere else if you wanna keep it as backup

[hearty hazel]

ok i will thank you then ill run the game. Ill have to learn how to move everything from vortex to this folder because i dont want any more issues. How do I run the modded version of the game without vortex though? Because on vortex theres a run game option but i don know where id find it otherwise

[long brook]

As long as you're being patient, it's totally fine

[halcyon igloo]

!launchoptions

[native dragon]

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

[plain plinth]

I think i'm there!

[hearty hazel]

its still giving me the manifest json error, but thats cause i ran it through vortex. i think if i want it to work ill have to run it not through vortex. but before i do that im going to have to move all my mods out of the vortex file and into the stardew valley mods folder

is that as easy as just selecting them and just dropping them in the folder i want them to go?

[plain plinth]

So uh new problem Dx

You really shouldn't use Vortex, ffiw.

!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.

talkin to me...?

[hearty hazel]

Well im more interesting in moving away from a mod manager, like doing everything manually. Can i move all my mod folders from vortex and just drop them in my mod folder?

[plain plinth]

If someone can help me that be great :/ I tried deleting JsonAssets file and redownload it and still does the same thing

Update spacecore

[halcyon igloo]

stardew modding is drag and drop. if you put them all in the Mods/ folder it should work. it looks like vortex has all the folders like one level deep i think though? are there folders inside of those folders?

[plain plinth]

bro if it's that easy...

[hearty hazel]

i think most folders dont have other folders in them

i can check

[plain plinth]

So it worked... But now I got this problem.

wait nvm your folders look fine delish lol

i’m on my phone and it looked like the folders had the numbers after them like when you download the compressed file from nexus

[hearty hazel]

some of them when i open them have another folder named assets
I also noticed on vortex that i can open the game mods folder which shows some mods that are just in the stardew valley folder, but then theres a mod staging folder where all the files are in vortex. I think some of the mods are already are where they are supposed to be but not all of them are there. All of them are in the vortex staging folder though

[long brook]

Install Json Asset next

[halcyon igloo]

literally just find all of your mods and throw them in Mods/

[hearty hazel]

ok i will thank you

[long brook]

!reset after Json Asset mod installed sunner

See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files for instructions on resetting your game files! (This doesn't affect your save files.)

[plain plinth]

THANK YOU @long brook

❤️

[halcyon igloo]

they have two copies of json assets though if i’m looking at the right log

[plain plinth]

yeah i saw the mistake

[long brook]

Hmmm i looj the lig while having lunch. I might miss some here and there

[hoary bane]

I guess so, I've never used vortex myself.

[hearty hazel]

yea holy said to just drag and drop them all in

[silent dagger]

ohh ok! im playing on 1.4

[spark parcel]

Sorry for the late reply, this happened at midnight and I had to go

when I try to load my save file, those smapi error appear, and the game just go back to the title screen

might try as well check if it didnt break or something, is not the smapi update, or that Margo mod

is not the portrait error, is the other smapi error about spacecore and the farmhouse

[tiny nebula]

hey help me pls

i dowlanded expanded sdv for once then i delete it but now i cant play

it kicks me out

[long brook]

What OS and game library you use?

[tiny nebula]

windows and i bought game from xbox pc

[long brook]

!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

[tiny nebula]

but i dont want install

i want delete expanded i just want play normaş stardew

[long brook]

You wanna completely uninstall mod and smapi?

[tiny nebula]

i just want play normal

[long brook]

But you wanna keep smapi or not?

[tiny nebula]

not

[long brook]

Then launch smapi installer and choose uninstall

[tiny nebula]

i wanna delete everythink about mods

ok

i did it

now?

[long brook]

Try launch the game

[tiny nebula]

i deleted but i have all of these..

[long brook]

You wanna keep it or not? If not, just delete and keep Stardew Valley folder if that is the game folder

[tiny nebula]

i tried launch gamebut it kicks me out when it says loading

[long brook]

If you happen to change name of stardew valley.exe. go to this link, then scroll under uninstall section

There should be steps to undo it

[tiny nebula]

what should i do

[long brook]

Did you do the last step of installing smapi on gamepass? (I'm talking about renaming StardewModdingAPI.exe into StardewValley.exe and rename StardewValley.exe into something like StardewValley original.exe)

If not, idk if gamepass has feature of resetting game files

[tiny nebula]

this?

[long brook]

Did you install smapi just now?

[tiny nebula]

no

[long brook]

Oh so the answer is no for my question before. Run smapi installer and then choose uninstall. It should delete all smapi files and Mods folder

[tiny nebula]

oh i did it

[hidden sandal]

hey could someone please help me with my sdv expanded mod? ive watched about 5 different walkthroughs and followed the directions perfectly and when i load up my game it says in smapi that i still havent installed it right and it doesnt detect any of the extra mods you have to download. please help ive been trying to fix this for like 2 days

[long brook]

After uninstalling, there should be no file related to StardewModdingAPI in your content folder

[long brook]

!sve

[native dragon]

@hidden sandal Stardew Valley Expanded (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3753) is a mod which adds a lot of new content and areas to the game. It has many dependencies, so be sure to follow the install guide which is on the github wiki along with FAQs and troubleshooting steps for common issues: https://github.com/FlashShifter/StardewValleyExpanded/wiki

[tiny nebula]

i did but i dont know why is it there

[long brook]

Video walkthrough to install mods is usually outdated. Try following the text steps

[tiny nebula]

When I enter the game, I can set up a new farm and play, but when I enter my own, it kicks me out of the game.

[long brook]

Try reinstall the game then?

[tiny nebula]

i just delete all files about mod rn

[long brook]

If you wanna clean file, reinstall the game. But to make sure, make the backup of the save if you're unsure gamepass save cloud

[tiny nebula]

i deleted game

im installing now

[long brook]

Hope reinstalling fix the problem. Modding on gamepass is kinda hard but they shouldn't touch any base game file honestly

[tiny nebula]

ty for everything im waiting for the game

i hope it works

[hidden sandal]

so ive realised that my files look a hell of a lot different to what everyone shows.

my files look like this and im guessing they aint meant to lol

[dusty spruce]

because you're using WinRAR

you need to extract those

WinRAR is fine at doing that

[hidden sandal]

this sounds so stupid but how am i meant to extract them, i tried but it wouldn't.

[long brook]

Right click on that and you can aee there is extract feature. You can use extract here

[tiny nebula]

hey bro

it doesnt work

damn

[dusty spruce]

could you be a bit more specific?

"it doesn't work" can mean a thousand different things

[long brook]

They uninstall smapi first, but any smapi files related is still there. So i ask them to reinstall the game shockah. They use gamepass btw

[tiny nebula]

i installed smpai and wxpended

i played it then i wanted delete it

but i dont know whats going on nıow

game kicks me out when its loading

[dusty spruce]

ahhh i missed the fact those are 2 different people

if the game is kicking you out during loading, it's definitely throwing an exception

!log

[native dragon]

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

[tiny nebula]

bro im tired

hwta should i do

i just want play normal stardew

[gaunt gust]

Does making a new save work?

[tiny nebula]

how can i do it

[gaunt gust]

It's not actually particularly easy to remove mods from a save

SMAPI will handle removal of some things automatically

[tiny nebula]

i give up

see ya sdv

[sand gale]

same same tbh

[dusty spruce]

"i've tried nothing and i give up"

[hidden sandal]

where do i find the mod file SMAPI makes? this walkthrough is telling me the one in the game file isn't the same one but its the first i've heard about it past walkthroughs told me its the same thing.

[tiny nebula]

bro

[outer karma]

i've been trying to download that mod called 'seasonal cute characters' but everytime i open the game SMAPI skips the mod

[tiny nebula]

i tried my best

[outer karma]

what do i do

Are you playing in English?

[quaint sequoia]

yes i am

[gaunt gust]

Hmm

Usually we see bundle corruption in other languages

Unfortunately bundles are inherently very fragile

There is a console command to regenerate bundles

Might be worth running that

[quaint sequoia]

what is it? i have none technical knowledge at all

[gaunt gust]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Console_commands#regenerate_bundles

That will reset your bundle progress though

[quaint sequoia]

i havent been able to unlock the bundles on this save lmao

i cant get to the room to see the note, it just stays black as soon as i enter the center

[gaunt gust]

If it's that early may be worth starting a new save

Minus any mods that affect bundles

I'm going to be honest: bundle corruption happens, not unrarely

[quaint sequoia]

i already have, twice now lmao

[gaunt gust]

I inherently do not trust any mods that touch bundles, period

(Unless it has been carefully safe'd, and I don't really trust most modders to do that correctly)

[quaint sequoia]

fair enough then! thank you so much, i will remove all bundle things and if that fails i think ill just cry

[sand gale]

I downloaded the mod normally, installed smapi on steam and placed the mods in their place like i did all thing i should then i started game but mod didnt realy worked so i tried to look whats the problem but windows says there is nothing about it write again

[sand gale]

whice steps

[long brook]

Refer to bot message above

[sand gale]

yes yes i did that

[long brook]

So after you launch the game, what happened?

[sand gale]

its working normaly but mods not there

its normal game itself

[long brook]

Did smapi console show up before the game window show up?

[sand gale]

no

it didnt

[long brook]

Where do you launch the game from?

[sand gale]

Steam

[long brook]

Can you screenshot launch option part?

[sand gale]

sure let me

[dire jetty]

There was a piece of code I needed to put into my steam pathway so It could run mods install of vanilla and I cant find it anywhere

does anyone know where I can find it

[long brook]

Green text right at the end of smapi installation. Refer to governor bot above

[dire jetty]

ty

thank you it worked

[long brook]

On the steam setting

[sand gale]

i did that but after that i didnt saw smapi

ooh alright

[quaint sequoia]

thank you so much the command worked!! life is good again!!

[hidden sandal]

turns out all i had to do was extract all my files from WinRAR. 😅 thanks for the help

[sand gale]

Im so sorry but i really dont understand whats where it..like local files or??

[long brook]

Open steam library, right click sdv, properties. There should be launch option on bottom. If you did it correctly the game should launch with smapi console too

That's why. You need to copy the entier things "..." %command%

[sand gale]

OOOH

okay thank you a lot now i can see smapi but still mods not working

maybe i can try to see problem now

[long brook]

You already install mod inside Mods folder?

[sand gale]

now i can see the problems! i need to download some things i will try it you helped me a lot thank youuu i think i can do it myself rest of all

[long brook]

Cool. Have fun modding buddy

[wicked yoke]

back on it today..gonna uninstall mobile and see what that does

[long brook]

Good luck

[native dragon]

Log found, uploaded to: https://smapi.io/log/2765ba2a304b436f9ed392e54d2ee6c6

[long brook]

Can you explain the issue?

[rose vessel]

hm, there's no visible issues on the log

besides the existence of pytk

[dense bridge]

My game freezes whenever I load my existing save file. It freezes on the black screen right before I leave my bed.

The game works when I create a new save file but when I quit and load it, it freezes again.

[long brook]

You need to wait, the game freeze but still loading

[rose vessel]

just don't click anything

and wait for it to load

[long brook]

As you installed a bunch of mods, especially on mobile

[dense bridge]

I already waited for about 15 mins.

This is the only mod I had a problem with so far.

A shame though but I think I'll pass up on Vanilla Tweaks.

[long brook]

Try disable pytk (rename pytk mod folder by adding . on the front). But any other mod that relies on pytk will be disabled by smapi

[dense bridge]

Thanks for the info! I'll try it later when I have time.

I'll post here again if it works.

[long brook]

Sure. Feel free to ask again later

[potent atlas]

i'm back for my daily bug of the poor innocent people who know how to mod, here! i have stardew foliage redones map, and the bus is automatically redone with a sky/clouds texture... but i can't override it with another bus recolour. how do i do this?

[summer swan]

You know how to "order mods"?

[potent atlas]

I think the problem is that its included in the springtilesheets or something

[summer swan]

No fear. It's SDV. Things aren't hard.

[potent atlas]

i am scared

[summer swan]

Are they both named [CP] some mod name?

[potent atlas]

yes!

[summer swan]

Oh. Wait those are retextures?

[potent atlas]

I'm sifting through the config/content to see if theres any way I can replace the retexture

[summer swan]

I just checked but foliage redone includes the tilesheets. I was hoping it just changes parts of them.

Which one you want to use for the bus? Maybe more luck on that one.

[potent atlas]

It's the cat bus thing! I've tried it before to no avail

[summer swan]

Link?

[potent atlas]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/13697?tab=files huzzah

[summer swan]

Ok. You can do what my initial thought was: Rename [CP] Cat Bus to [CP] zCat Bus.

The game loads mods in "alphabetical order". If you add the z it will be loaded after [CP] Stardew Foliage Redone - foliage only.

[lament prairie]

!loadorder or do this

[native dragon]

When two mods both edit dialogue or images, whichever mod loads last "wins" and is the one you see in the game. In order to change the load order of mods, you can add false dependencies, see here for details: https://stardewmodding.miraheze.org/wiki/Tutorial:_How_to_Add_a_False_Dependency_for_Load_Orders

[summer swan]

Obviously we have a command for it. 🤦‍♀️

[dusty spruce]

(We should update the wiki to use the ModsToLoadEarly/Late config properties instead)

[potent atlas]

genius! cat bus to the rescue!

is that why some of my files which coordinate with eachtoher have z's :O

[summer swan]

Most likely. If it's patches they are supposed to be load after the mods they patch.
