@summer swan no change. going to find my old smapi file and replace it

[summer swan]

It's still stuck there?

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

[summer swan]

That's better than screenshot and gives us your complete modlist too.

Log Info: SMAPI 3.17.2 with SDV 1.5.6 (build 22018) on Microsoft Windows 11 Home, with 10 C# mods and 4 content packs.
Suggested fixes: You don't have the Error Handler mod installed, reinstall SMAPI to get it, One or more mods are out of date, consider updating them

[summer swan]

Ok. No Error Handler.

[charred anvil]

translate pls

I just redownloaded smapi

[summer swan]

Download the latest SMAPI version 3.18.2 and install that.

This updates SMAPI and should also install Error Handler.

Error Handler is as it's name might suggest "Something dealing with errors and clean up" (to put it simple).

You don't need to uninstall SMAPI first because SMAPI cleans up after itself if necessary.

[charred anvil]

Can it stay in my downloads or does it need to go into the specific steam folder?

[summer swan]

SMAPI installer? Can stay in downloads.

However: Not having Error Handler doesn't prevent SMAPI from starting the game.

[charred anvil]

okay downloaded

[summer swan]

After you updated SMAPI: Start the game and maybe magically it works.

[charred anvil]

gotta love maybe

The window shows that it's still running 3.17.2????

https://tenor.com/view/why-whatever-gif-23592041

[summer swan]

It should show 3.18 something.

[languid yarrow]

I'm on the side that would uninstall the old version

[summer swan]

I want to check something else first if it's ok.

@charred anvil Go to your game folder.

Start Stardew Valley.exe

[charred anvil]

I might need to politely walk away from my computer soon before I have a tantrum lol

[charred anvil]

okay going there

[summer swan]

That will start the game without SMAPI.

And then tell if that works like it should (fast start).

[charred anvil]

the chicken mocks me

[summer swan]

Wait.

[charred anvil]

please tell me i am dumb and it's somewhere else. please. PLEASE

[summer swan]

That happens when you use Browse... through Steam?

[halcyon igloo]

interesting install path

[charred anvil]

let me reopen that

[charred anvil]

thanks, i frequently don't know what i'm doing

[summer swan]

That's not a pic of how your Stardew Valley exe looks is it?

[halcyon igloo]

do you have steam installed on a different hard drive?

[charred anvil]

@summer swan

[frail kite]

idk why my smapi automatically starts with unlimited money, is there any way to remove it?

[charred anvil]

nope, just the one (though I should get an external one)

[summer swan]

We pick up that suggestion.

[charred anvil]

unlimited money is the opposite of a problem

[frail kite]

yea but i dont want it lol

idk how to get rid of it

[summer swan]

!log It's one of your mods. I don't see how SMAPI would do that unless you put it in console. Upload your log and maybe somebody can tell which mod it is.

[native dragon]

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

Hi everyone, I previously played Stardew valley plus mods on another pc a while back and now installed it on my new one including the mods I had before and a bit more. It’s giving me an error handle message and when I run the game, it’ll only run 3 mods out of all of them. I have windows, my game version is 3.18.2.

!androidsmapi

[native dragon]

There is no working android SMAPI right now, after the mobile 1.5 release. No Android SMAPI means no mods on Android right now. ZaneYork, the developer of Android SMAPI, has said he will work on it when he has time. You can follow this Github issue for details, but please do not harass him or spam the Github. https://github.com/ZaneYork/SMAPI-Android-Installer/issues/246

When there is one, the instructions here will be updated: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Android

[summer swan]

#rules #9 and it's most likely related to your pirated version.

SMAPI for mobile is in the works and you've to wait for it to be finished.

[frail kite]

i can open the normal game and it works fine but as soon as i open smapi wallet instantly becomes 888m

[summer swan]

The mods you've installed don't cause it so it only leaves your pirated copy. We can't help you with that.

[frail kite]

ok

[languid yarrow]

Has the window format issue ever happened before and what could be the cause?
Also happens when I automatically go to load save but is fixed when I manually click on load save from start

[summer swan]

And you might remove it from your system because pirated copies can cause further damage to your system (i.e. maleware etc). Stick with vanilla and wait for the SMAPI for Android update.

[languid yarrow]

maybe a mod framework?

[vale halo]

anyone got any idea how to fix this? already trid without ftm (since that one is mentioned to have patched the erroring function)

[ornate rock]

Sorry, is this question for me? If so, no it hasn’t appeared before. This is the first time I’ve seen it

[summer swan]

Picture of your Mods folder please. Monthly is talking about something different.

[ornate rock]

My bad 😅

[summer swan]

@ornate rock Let's make it short. That's not how it works. 😅

Those mods needs to go to the Mods folder of Stardew Valley. And that's not on your Desktop. 😉

You know how to find your gamefolder?

[languid yarrow]

[summer swan]

There you'll find a folder called Mods. That's the correct one.

Do NOT copy the zips.

Only copy the extracted folders to the mods folder in the game folder.

[ornate rock]

Ahhhhh that’s what I forgot to do LMAO

I felt like I was missing a step

[summer swan]

"Tiny mistake with not so tiny consequences". 😉

[summer swan]

No idea. And SMAPI isn't talkative? You might try disabling mods till you find the one. I would probably start with frameworks as that will disable the mods relying on them too.

[ornate rock]

Okay NOW it’s showing in my smapi, imma fix the errors and if there’s anything I can’t fix I’ll come back. Thank you so so much 😅

[toxic trellis]

Hi y’all! New to the server and new to mods. I’m trying to install “stardew valley expanded” and ran into an issue. I’ve downloaded SMAPI and all the other mods in the instructions and put them in my “mods” folder. It’s time to download the expansion, and for some reason my computer won’t download it. Safari gave me the error “cannot open the link” and chrome just won’t open it, click to download manually and nothing happens. Any ideas?

[dusky canyon]

Firewall maybe?

Did you download anything else before from nexus?

nvm I misread

Try refreshing the web page/ removing cookies

[long heath]

hey guys does the cc cutscene does it need to be sunny

[summer swan]

Did you click "with mod manager" instead of "manual" by accident?

[toxic trellis]

I’ll try this now

[summer swan]

Yes. I don't think there's a mod changing it.

[long heath]

ok

[toxic trellis]

I’ve clicked both to no avail many times

OHHHHH PAYWALL

I didn’t see this alert at the bottom I need to do premium nexus?

[summer swan]

No.

Click on "manual download" and then choose "slow".

Premium is required for fast download and some other things.

[toxic trellis]

Yeah I’m clicking that it’s not working

Trying to clear cookies now

[summer swan]

[dusky canyon]

Heh

[summer swan]

Actually.

[toxic trellis]

But I downloaded chrome just to download this so there shouldn’t be a ton of cookies on it

[summer swan]

@toxic trellis Nexus having a bad time recently. Try again in 30 minutes.

[dusky canyon]

Ohhhhhhhh yes nexus was down today

[toxic trellis]

It says more than 3MBs needs premium

[dusky canyon]

so what Kuro says could be it

[toxic trellis]

Oh ok I started this last night

[summer swan]

That's speed not file size.

[toxic trellis]

Like about 24 hours ago and was having this issue

[toxic trellis]

Ohhhh ok thank you.

[summer swan]

Ok. So it wasn't the first mod you tried to download and the others worked?

[toxic trellis]

The others worked yes

[summer swan]

Yes, that can happen. Just try again like 10-30 minutes later if the page isn't totally down.

[toxic trellis]

Ok thanks I’ll try again in 39

So I'm playing multiplayer with my friend on SVE Expanded with a few other mods, and we're currently at Spirit's Eve, but randomly the game will just kick me out of the festival and I'll get sent back to my farm. The town square won't be the festival, it'll just be normal. Is there any way to fix this? Here's the log

[fiery spade]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4870

Question, apparently map recolours can clash with this pretty mod. I'm using Daisy's Recolour. What should I do? I looked in the config of the recolour & the seasonal fences, and there's no easy option.

Someone on the forum said "i had the same issue, & yes it was because of the Daisy Niko recolour, so all you need to do is just remove the file.". Which files...? And if I remove the Daisy fences wouldn't I have to edit the .content too?

[dapper gazelle]

I thought the user had to actually engage the Emergency skip for when an event gets stuck. Didn't know it could activate on its own

[round river]

That's what I thought too, I dont think I purposefully engaged it

[vale flame]

so you can go into the daisy recolor and look for the pngs that correspond to the fences, i’m p sure they will all have fence in the name & tbh you probably won’t need to edit the json, you’ll just get some yellow lines of code in SMAPI saying that it’s unable to access the file because it doesn’t exist. but it’s easy to edit that line out if those yellow lines bother you (they bother me)

sorry that that’s not exactly thorough, i’m not at my PC right now to specify which files you’d need to delete & what you’d need to remove in the json. but it should be a fairly simple process

[fiery spade]

Should I just overwrite the .png with the ones I want?

[vale flame]

you definitely could try but it may just be easier to delete them from the recolor files & keep the seasonal fence files separate if you’re afraid to mess anything up

that’s what i would personally do

[fiery spade]

oh...

ty

[fiery spade]

If you have a sec, how do you remove the yellow negligent warning signs? Not a big deal if you don't have the time.

[vale flame]

you’d look for anything in the json that references those fence file names that you deleted and you’d remove them

for example it could say “editimage” and within the same section it would refer to the fence.png, you’d take all of that out

[fiery spade]

okok thx

❤️

!startmodding

[native dragon]

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories: SMAPI mods, which use C#, and content packs, which don’t require coding knowledge, just making json files. Usually it’s easiest to start with making content packs, especially if there’s a framework that already does what you want, and in general it's better to use frameworks whenever possible for compatibility reasons.

To get started with SMAPI modding, see here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/Get_Started

To get started with content pack modding, you’ll probably want to check the list of frameworks here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Content_pack_frameworks and then either use the wiki tutorial on Content Patcher here https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Content_Patcher or check out the tutorial wiki in case there’s a tutorial https://stardewmodding.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:Tutorials

[gloomy kayak]

why does json assets still detroy everything in multiplayer and still is needed for big mods like SDVE or RSV???
can we somehow avoid using this ***** mod?

[dusty spruce]

it only used to destroy stuff if you kept changing your mods willy-nilly; nowadays it should be mostly stable

[gloomy kayak]

i have only RSV and SDVE installed ... with a complete new farm ... still getting stuck, when i try to join the game

[dusty spruce]

"getting stuck"?

[gloomy kayak]

trying to use not existing spacecore methods ...

mom

[dusty spruce]

you just said it destroys stuff, not that you get stuck

anyway, recently i've also started having problems connecting to multiplayer games, but i can't connect in vanilla either

LAN works fine though, and that's all i need, so i'm good

anyway, there is no way you'll ditch SpaceCore

99% of mods add items via Json Assets or Dynamic Game Assets, and both require SpaceCore

[gloomy kayak]

great ... developers relying on others code 😄 awesome

[dusty spruce]

the remaining 1% of mods adds items in a broken way that is potentially incompatible with everything else

so yes, developers relying on others' code

[gloomy kayak]

btw: i cant connect via LAN ...

[dusty spruce]

because that's the way to make it compatible with each other, lol

[gloomy kayak]

riiiiiiiight 😄 the only way of course 😄 mate, we both know, that this is not true

[lament relic]

what if i dont wanna play with mods? but have them installed

[dusty spruce]

can you please not talk about things you have no clue about

[gloomy kayak]

😄 i am a professional developer since a decade 😄 i do have clues 😄

[dusty spruce]

just run the Stardew Valley.exe instead of StardewModdingAPI.exe

[lament relic]

how?

only SDVE and RSV and their needed mods

that's a different error now

so it did help with one thing

@fast river does it look familiar at all?

[fiery spade]

I asked earlier and someone responded, sorry. However ... I don't understand why this method wouldn't work.

Left is Seasonal Fences. Right is Daisy Earth Recolour. There's an issue with just dl'ing both files with Seasonal Fences clashes with recolour mods.

Why can't I just overrwite / delete the Earthy recolour fences with the Seasonal Fences .png? (and make sure the new .png is obviously the correct name)
... and not bother with the Seasonal Fence mod at all - afterwards.

[fast river]

Looks like an XNB mod got installed wrong. A texture one over one of the data ones

[dusty spruce]

well, Chirox, are you using XNB mods?

[gloomy kayak]

did not used one, but reloaded the content folder, just to try ...

[fast river]

That or another mod is replacing the asset wrong I guess

[halcyon igloo]

did someone describe an issue here to you

trying to catch up on this issue lol sorry

[fiery spade]

who, me?

[halcyon igloo]

yeah

[fiery spade]

I'm not sure what you mean, but I got advice for this earlier. But I'm reposting b/c I don't understand why this wouldn't work and it's easier.

[halcyon igloo]

in theory it would work

which is why i'm asking why you think it wouldn't?

unless i'm missing something about what the endgoal here was

[fiery spade]

The endgoal is to use Seasonal Fences. While using Daisy Recolour for everything but fences. Since apparently both don't work together.

[halcyon igloo]

potentially convert them to AT

but that's also more work

but yeah replace the files in daisyniko's recolors

slash delete everything else from seasonal fences that are not fences?

[fiery spade]

Could I just literally replace the .png and not use the Seasonal Fence mod at all afterwards?

[halcyon igloo]

yep

[fiery spade]

this seems too easy

[halcyon igloo]

make sure you rename them exactly though

[fiery spade]

the only issue I could see is

if daisy's fences are referencing the same fences.

[halcyon igloo]

if they're not referencing the same fences?

[fiery spade]

and what would happen to the town

I'm going to back up my mods folder and save file before this, but this seems too easy ...

[halcyon igloo]

this is why i personally would probably convert to AT but that's a lot lol

i could walk you through it though

it is kind of booty with this many seasonal variations though

[fiery spade]

I really have never used AT. Like I have some dl'd, and I know to go to robin to get the tools, but it's weird

especially with fences and trees and stuff. like would I have to change EACH fence and EACH tree (if I were using tree AT mods)

or does it do them all at once?

sounds tedious

[halcyon igloo]

yeah what i usually do is have like a content patcher mod as my "base" for default replacement

and then i AT individual things after

[fiery spade]

yeah, it just sounds tedious for certain things. wonderful tool tho

also what'

[halcyon igloo]

that's why i wanted to make a converter

[fiery spade]

also what's the diff between the different AT tools

bucket, scissors, etc.

[halcyon igloo]

it's better described in the wiki! i actually only use the bucket mostly bc i don't have a lot of AT packs for animals and such

buckets are for objects like craftables and buildings

and then i think the scissors are for entities like animals and children (apparently??)

the paintbrush i think is like a copy/paste tool?

[fiery spade]

oh gosh

alrighty

well thanks for your help!

[halcyon igloo]

yeah! i'm actually doing an AT conversion rn too lol and it's tedious but only bc the creator made so many wonderful options

[fiery spade]

Seasonal Fences has a "Winter Indoor Fence" folder. What is that for? Weird

[halcyon igloo]

might be just a version without any seasonal decorations like flowers or snow

bc snow looks weird indoors

[fiery spade]

where are there fences indoors?

o_O

[halcyon igloo]

i have no clue! but that's what it sounds like it would be to me without looking at it lol

[fiery spade]

ok, ty again

time to back everything up (rip time) and try this

[fiery spade]

2.16 gb of backing up mods

[halcyon igloo]

lol why are we backing up everything! why not just backup the mods you're messing with?

this is also why mod makers or people who mess with mods make test saves with minimal mods installed

[fiery spade]

eh I haven't backed up everything in a month or so. I like to be updated

and I'm paranoid

:>

[halcyon igloo]

hehe fair

[fiery spade]

when you say youre using 751 mods, is that total you've dl'ed, or 751 in a current playthough? I'm curious when I see others do this too.

alrighty backup done

[vale flame]

i would also like to know as i cannot comprehend what mods are in your folder that add up to over 700

[fiery spade]

time to backup save file and work on this project lol

[fiery spade]

I've seen people with crazy numbers. I'm using 500+ in a single playthrough lol.

i put how many im using in a playthrough

[halcyon igloo]

uhh i have something like 768 active in my main file rn i think

[fiery spade]

oh ok

[halcyon igloo]

i have more downloaded but a lot are either like CP packs i don't use bc i made them into AT or old mechanics that i replaced with something else

i shuffle things around sometimes

[fiery spade]

The thing is, I could have more. But I don't add random tiny mods some people add like random little clothing mods, etc.

[halcyon igloo]

yeah i have a lot of clothing mods LOL

and random aesthetics mods

[fiery spade]

xd :p

[vale flame]

i mean i did just start modding the game & i am like just under 200 mods but i can’t even think of 500 more that i’d want to add i feel like i’ve already added 99% of what even exists rn 😭

wait what is that funky little page thingy

[halcyon igloo]

it's stardrop's UI

[fiery spade]

stardrop

insetad of nexus

[vale flame]

i still need to get stardrop

[halcyon igloo]

but yeah that's how many mods i have that are either like just UI or purely aesthetic adjustments

thus "multiplayer-safe" lol

oh yeah and dialogue i have tons of dialogue

[vale flame]

hmmm i want them all

i’m constantly looking for aesthetic mods

[fiery spade]

i focus more on expansions, gameplay mechanics, some aesthetic , etc. Added some clothing, portraits, and stuff too obviously. But I like editing gameplay and huge expansions

[gloomy kayak]

the missing map does not exist, even after completely redownloading the game ... i guess, its a SDVE-Map, which is not given ...

[dusty spruce]

hmm, yeah. no such file in my Content folder either

[gaunt gust]

Basically all the SVE translations are outdated

so you have to use the English version for now

[halcyon igloo]

https://smapi.io/log/4ba991c52a67466a85dd16291cef4b3d my mods hehe ignore the fact that apparently i didn't add wildflour's wild food mod back in and broke all of her mods

[native dragon]

Log Info: SMAPI 3.18.2 with SDV 1.5.6 (build 22018) on Microsoft Windows 10 Home, with 204 C# mods and 570 content packs.
Suggested fixes: One or more mods are out of date, consider updating them

[halcyon igloo]

also the fact that the alpha build of quality smasher that i downloaded does NOT work for me

[halcyon igloo]

(atra if u see this if u have any insight on the quality smasher thing lol)

[round river]

If anyone has an idea of what could have happened or how to proceed please let me know :))

[gaunt gust]

Missing a file apparently?

I'm not actually usinf the alpha of that

[halcyon igloo]

bc it doesn't WORK but also the previous build doesn't wanna smash my summer spangles either

[rancid copper]

can someone help me with smapi?

[neat plaza]

whats your issue

[rancid copper]

it finds problems with some mods that i dont know how to fix

[neat plaza]

[native dragon]

[rancid copper]

like this?

i really dont know how to work mods in this game

[vale halo]

it looks like you put the contents of some zip file into the mods folder, that's not how it works, you have to put the folder you get after extracting the zip into the mods folder

the entire extracted folder, not just it's content

[rancid copper]

what the difference?...

[vale halo]

the one works the other doesn't

[rancid copper]

hahaha

[vale halo]

one has a folder inside the mods folder for each and every mod, one doesn't

every single mod needs it's own folder inside of the mods folder

[rancid copper]

so this is wrong?

[vale halo]

the "assets" folder isn't a mod

that folder doesn't belong there according to your smapi log

elle's dog replacement mod is installed twice, once inside assets once on it's own

the country furniture mod is just an empty folder

warm cozy fireplace is just an empty folder as well

and camarillo white bareback is an xnb mod, those don't work with smapi

[rancid copper]

ok deleted that

[vale halo]

that's all the issues your log lists directly

[summer swan]

For the horsemod: Does it have to be that specific one? If not you can check for alternative mods that aren't xnb-mods.

[vale halo]

anyway, i'm headed off to bed, hope you can resolve your issues, good night everyone

[rancid copper]

i dont know why it says they are empty when they are not

[summer swan]

For the empty ones: Reinstall the 2 mods.

[charred anvil]

@summer swan okay I'm back. let's unbreak things.

[summer swan]

That was... SMAPI doesn't start the game as it should correct?

[charred anvil]

yup!

deleting the old one off my computer rn

[summer swan]

Start the SMAPI installer and select "uninstall".

Wait.

[charred anvil]

waiting

[summer swan]

Game files (use Steam to go there): Copy the folder "Mods" and put it on your desktop (or wherever).

[charred anvil]

so don't delete the other one first?

[rancid copper]

ok they are still showing as empty

and one that changes stuff isnt even showing

[summer swan]

Just copy that folder. And then you uninstall SMAPI by using the installer. Backing up the mods folder is for "later".

[summer swan]

!log upload a new one.

[native dragon]

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

[charred anvil]

[charred anvil]

@summer swan I can wait for you to be done with the other situation, there's no rush btw

[summer swan]

You start SMAPI installer and choose "Uninstall".

[summer swan]

You make another screenshot of your mods folder (make it 2 if it doesn't fit on 1) because you've still additional files that do not belong there.

[charred anvil]

for confirmation

[summer swan]

That's not the SMAPI installer. If I remember correctly you've it in your downloads folder.

[charred anvil]

ahhhhh

you remember my disorganization better than me

[summer swan]

No fear: I'm shocked too because I have bad memory.

[sweet marsh]

Has anyone figures out the tree bug bc I tried everything and it’s still not working

[summer swan]

Content.json, manifest.json, Project Yellog rar, Yuriyuris haristyles.rar <<-- All of those do not belong in your mods folder.

[sweet marsh]

And when I move there house it glitches them in a different place so there map is completely different

[summer swan]

I right now have no idea what you're talking about. Pic?

[sweet marsh]

The expansion

[rancid copper]

okay but i dont have problems with them

[summer swan]

I did a bit of scrolling but haven't found anything for the last few hours. Can you maybe describe it again with picture? It's fine to do that after some time passed.

[sweet marsh]

Oki

[summer swan]

It will remove this message from your log:
Detected mod files directly inside the 'Mods' folder. These will be ignored. Each mod must have its own subfolder instead.

[sweet marsh]

It shows a tree in where they are standing

And when I move the house they get completely different map

And they can walk on things thwre not ment to

[rancid copper]

okay but what about the others?

[summer swan]

Remove the 2 that have the "empty folder"-warning, start SMAPI and check if it's fine. Then reinstall those 2. If that doesn't work I'm right now out of ideas.

[sweet marsh]

Who me or Georgia

[charred anvil]

a little zooted so that took me longer to figure out than it really should have

[summer swan]

That was for Georgia.

[charred anvil]

uninstalled and removing files from download

[summer swan]

What does zooted mean? Still tired? Maybe coffee first?

[rancid copper]

i reinstal them multiple times

[charred anvil]

Depends on if there are children here....

[summer swan]

Don't answer in that case.

[summer swan]

It wouldn't have been necessary to remove stuff from Downloads but fine: Now you go to your game folder: That Mods folder needs to go (that's why you copied it earlier). That should leave you with only a folder named "Content" (don't touch that folder) and a bunch of files. If not tell what else is there.

[charred anvil]

mods deleted

[summer swan]

Did you do that with deleting them first too?

[summer swan]

Next step: SMAPI 3.18.2 <<-- Install that (if you deleted the exe just redownload it from Nexus).

[charred anvil]

doing

[summer swan]

And if you've done that: Start it.

[rancid copper]

yes...and i dont know hwy yellogs stuff dont work

[summer swan]

You put the rar of yellog in your mods folder instead of unpacking it first.

[charred anvil]

re-installed into steam. should i put the mods folder back?

[summer swan]

No. The mods folder stays where it is. It's not "later" yet.

[charred anvil]

roger that

[rancid copper]

yeah i think this mod is broken i cant make it work i have to find something else to make the buildings aesthetic

[summer swan]

You installed it wrong.

Unpack the rar for yellog.

[rancid copper]

i did that

i didnt installed it wrong the files are wrong

[dapper gazelle]

Oh I’ve used those. They work

[rancid copper]

those are the files that smapi says are wrong

[summer swan]

That CP_Yellog_s...-folder needs to go into the mods folder.

Not just the assets folder and the 2 jsons.

[rancid copper]

ok what do i choose?

[summer swan]

When SMAPI installation is done: Start the game and start to hope.

[charred anvil]

omg

okay here it goes

[summer swan]

Oh. Now I understand the problem. You've only used mods with zip-files so far.

[rancid copper]

huh?

[summer swan]

Wait no. Why you try to open it? Just copy the _CP_Yellog_s wood buildings folder into your Mods folder.

[rancid copper]

but its zipped

[charred anvil]

I touched the smapi command box and the monitor it was on went black

[rancid copper]

these 3 i have issues

[summer swan]

New try. No touching. 😛

[azure kelp]

i'm having an issue with the farmer to florist mod - everyday I get mail that says welcome on behalf of the florist assocaition and it doesn't give me a gift. Anyone else had a similar issue?

[azure kelp]

open the folder and copy and paste the folder inside of the zipped folder into your mods folder

[charred anvil]

i promise nothing but aye aye captain

[dapper gazelle]

Download the JA version not the DGA

[azure kelp]

i'm going to double check what version I have

[dapper gazelle]

The JA version of Farmer to Florist can be found at the very bottom of the files tab

[rancid copper]

im doing that and it doesnt work

[summer swan]

@rancid copper If it's still the rar folder: You need to unpack it. I don't recognize that menu. Which operating system is it?

[rancid copper]

operating system?

[summer swan]

Are you using windows or macOS or something else?

[azure kelp]

right click and look for unpack or unzip

[rancid copper]

windows 11

[summer swan]

Oh. 11. Looks different from 10.

[rancid copper]

hahaha

[summer swan]

Ok. Here we go: Windows is unfortunately dumb and can only zip by itself. No rar and no 7z.

[halcyon igloo]

i use 7zip

[rancid copper]

cant i just create a folder and put the files inside?

[summer swan]

Wait. Yellog is zip.

[halcyon igloo]

just "extract to _CP_Yellog_s wood buildings"

[summer swan]

Do exactly what holy says.

And @charred anvil please tell me that it works now.

[charred anvil]

Tried touching a totally unrelated window on my computer but apparently that’s also not allowed

[rancid copper]

yayyyy that worked ❤️

[charred anvil]

Uhhh nope.

[rancid copper]

now the problem is with the "empty" files

[charred anvil]

Using the phone app rn since I can’t touch literally anything on my computer while it loads

[summer swan]

Ok. You start the game, go make yourself something to drink or whatever takes a minute or two and do not cuddle with your pc? 😅

[charred anvil]

I will go distract myself as best as possible lololol

[halcyon igloo]

lol what's cat's problem?

[summer swan]

SMAPI doesn't start properly.

[charred anvil]

Also my sanity is running out

[summer swan]

It's reinstalled now (no additional mods) after it didn't start correctly earlier (it did parts but not all even after disabling SVE to reduce start time).

[halcyon igloo]

it's not starting even with no mods?

[summer swan]

SMAPI does start but it gets "stuck" at some point. Vanilla starts fine.

[charred anvil]

FYI this is what I’m stuck at in the command box (yes I know there’s a lot of icons sorry)

[halcyon igloo]

so it looks like it should launch the game window about then soon

[summer swan]

@charred anvil How long are you currently waiting? It shouldn't take more than 30 seconds.

[charred anvil]

It’s uhhhh been a few minutes…..

[rancid copper]

it just says that these two are empty

[summer swan]

Here's the problem: SMAPI is finished. But the game doesn't start.

[steep heron]

anyone know where i can find the Grampleton Fields mod?

i couldn't find it on Nexus

[halcyon igloo]

lol can we check task manager maybe?

[summer swan]

@charred anvil Can you open your taskmanager?

[steep heron]

(or other associated SVE mods)

[halcyon igloo]

what's empty?

[summer swan]

Holy: Same idea. Maybe it's on a different display or in the void.

[charred anvil]

Mmmmmmmm fun. Bringing up task manager now

[steep heron]

OH nevermind it's on the SVE page

[halcyon igloo]

are you on multiple monitors?

[summer swan]

They have SMAPI complaing about empty folders but have reinstalled the mods twice already.

[halcyon igloo]

those are zipped files so that's strange

[halcyon igloo]

which means that there's another folder lying about somewhere

[summer swan]

Yes. That one.

[charred anvil]

The api bit is new

[rancid copper]

empty folder

and the other one i just downloaded

[summer swan]

That's SMAPI. Now we need to find your Stardew Valley.

[halcyon igloo]

yeah you have loose folders somewhere that are not the files you showed in your last screenshot

[rancid copper]

found why the natural one isnt working...dont know about the other 2 tho

[halcyon igloo]

do you have folders named that in your Mods folder?

[charred anvil]

ahh a scavenger hunt

[summer swan]

How many monitors do you have?

[charred anvil]

2: my laptop and a long secondary screen

[rancid copper]

solved the natural thing i just dont know about the empty folders ones

[summer swan]

Is SDV in your taskbar at the bottom of your display? There should be SMAPI console and Stardew Valley.

[halcyon igloo]

try sorting alphabetically and looking for those folders lol

[charred anvil]

no, I had to close out of it

it was making my computer wheeze a little

[summer swan]

Ok. Start SMAPI, wait till you get that "type help for blabla" line. And then check.

[charred anvil]

SMAPI and not the game on steam?

[summer swan]

Game on Steam is with SMAPI if you set the launch options.

Wait. Is your Steam running?

[charred anvil]

yeah, it's up. In the past SMAPI starts with the game launch

[halcyon igloo]

wanna know something funny kekekek i can't launch from steam anymore after using stadrop LOL

slash i have not figured out what happened yet

[summer swan]

Ok. Start the game through Steam. Wait for that last line to appear.

And then I want you to open taskmanager.

At the bottom you have "more details". Click on that.

[halcyon igloo]

oh all of my main smapi mods disappeared for some reason from those folders ig

[summer swan]

This is how SDV should look in taskmanager when you use "more details" (2nd one obviously in your language).

[charred anvil]

it crash heck

everything is listed as not responding anyways

[summer swan]

But both are listed in taskmanager?

[charred anvil]

let's.. try it AGAIN

[halcyon igloo]

ooooo

[summer swan]

Ok. That's one too many.

[halcyon igloo]

not responding is ok

[summer swan]

Close SDV.

Click x in the SMAPI window top right (that will kill it).

[charred anvil]

closed

[summer swan]

Check taskmanager again.

[charred anvil]

What am I looking for?

[summer swan]

Still Stardew Valley.

[charred anvil]

But you had me close it?

[summer swan]

Exactly. I want to know if you have one running in the background.

[charred anvil]

ohh gotcha, thought so. nope

scrolling down through background apps just in case

[summer swan]

Ok. You said you're not good with tech. You know how to get rid of your 2nd monitor?

[charred anvil]

I can turn it off, if that's what you mean.

well I hope your mind counts as physical cause I'm having trouble

Do what's after atra using the command and remove that file.

@median blade 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.

Okay, the SMAPI box has the correct edition listed

[summer swan]

Stardew Valley itself now starting too as it should?

[charred anvil]

Once I marry lance, you're getting a child named after you @summer swan and @gaunt gust (or whatever requested farm animal)

[halcyon igloo]

it's days like this where i'm like "yanno what maybe a forum isn't a bad idea"

[charred anvil]

current view, unless you want the log

[steep heron]

does SVE add magic? (would it make the Magic mod irrelevant)

[summer swan]

Name it atra. They had the better idea. I was going to recommend you unplug that huge display of yours. (Don't do it.)

[halcyon igloo]

feel like the people in the SVE discord would know more about that

[charred anvil]

(too late I unplugged it from my computer) (plugging it back in soon)

[lapis robin]

I tried getting a error log but nothing was popping up.

I got red text in my smapi log tho

[halcyon igloo]

smapi log is the same thing, follow the instructions for uploading a log to smapi

[charred anvil]

@summer swan @gaunt gust - had an error message load with the game, something about content being removed and see SMAPI but it disappeared before I could get a screenshot

I paused the game for now

[summer swan]

Ok. When it works now: Let's talk about that Mods folder you rescued earlier. Go into that folder. Remove the . in front of the 2 SVE folders we disabled earlier. Also remove the following ones: ConsoleCommands, ErrorHandler and SaveBackup. Those are SMAPI folders and you just reinstalled SMAPI so you have new ones of these. And then you copy everything else into the mods folder in your games folder.

[halcyon igloo]

(atra doesn't like being pinged)

[summer swan]

You're mods are missing.

And yeah: No need to ping them. Ping me all you like because I wouldn't see it otherwise but not everybody likes pinging.
As for "Content removed": That's ErrorHandler doing cleanup because your mods are missing.

[languid yarrow]

ok so people suggest to use seasonal garden farmhouse v2
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6005?tab=description
but it requires tmxl which is currently bugged. How do I fix this issue?

same thing with sea breeze farmhouse
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/13752 and pytk

[halcyon igloo]

!tmxl2cp

[native dragon]

Want to use or update a mod, but it's using TMXL for its maps and you don't know how to manually convert (or don't want to)? You can use the TMXL2CP converter to automatically convert the maps into Content Patcher format. Follow the instructions (and remember to change map references in the normal jsons afterwards if necessary, like in schedule data!) and your mod will be ready to use in the current version of Content Patcher! https://github.com/AnotherPillow/TMXL2CP

[halcyon igloo]

i don't see anything about babydinosaur.xnb in your log but generally XNB modding isn't a good idea and you should adapt it into content patcher or alternative textures framework instead

[charred anvil]

okay done

[summer swan]

What do you mean "nothing popped up"?. Did you follow the instructions for your system on the page?

[halcyon igloo]

@languid yarrow this was for you lol you can convert that spot in the farm to CP and use it fine it's what i did

[summer swan]

Start the game. Do not touch your pc. And come back in 5 minutes to it.

[lapis robin]

yeah but I've been reading the red and manually changing the mod code. It seems the changes I made left a lot of mistakes. Either I'll fix everything or I'll ask for help again

You may also want to check this list of XNB > Content Patcher conversions (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods#Alternatives_using_Content_Patcher) to see if there are already replacements for any XNB mods you may have been using :)

[halcyon igloo]

do you know which mod it was that was an XNB mod?

[mental spear]

not sure how much help i can get considering im using xnb mods on the vita version but uh

my game is crashing loading into my house?

[languid yarrow]

there is a search box on smapi log so type xnb in it

[mental spear]

it was working before i added 3 other mods

lemme find the mods i used

[halcyon igloo]

well it tells me it was replacing the dinosaur but not what it was being replaced with

if they want to try and get the mod working again (but not as an XNB )

[winged robin]

Nope not that I know of

Me and Cygnus were playing together when we found a dinosaur egg

[halcyon igloo]

well then just reset your game files, it looks like it's walked off somewhere

[winged robin]

K

Will tell her

[gaunt gust]

Interesting

There is no baby dino

[halcyon igloo]

is there not

[gaunt gust]

Don't know why the game and asking for one

[summer swan]

I was 99% sure, that the baby looks the same as the adult.

[halcyon igloo]

mods used

on the vita version, so yes, i have to use xnb

game crashes loading into my house

[charred anvil]

I waited 10 whole minutes

Can I open my save file now?

[mental spear]

i have other mods but they didn't crash before adding theses

[summer swan]

Of course. It was just in case your game might need that long to start. Sorry. I should have phrased better. 😅

[summer swan]

After you loaded your save: Scroll through SMAPI window if there's anything red ("just in case").

[charred anvil]

oh buddy wtf it is all red

[summer swan]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[charred anvil]

And every attempt at loading a save file boots me right back to the concerned ape logo

[charred anvil]

I forgot we deleted the error thing heck

[summer swan]

I wasn't precise enough.

[zenith hornet]

I still haven't figured out what's causing this. Does anyone else know? I can send my smapi log again if needed

[charred anvil]

should i restore it then?

[summer swan]

Yes. Start SMAPI installer and let it do it's job. It'll restore. Don't uninstall anything or so.

[winged robin]

Atra ok I will see those mod brb

[gaunt gust]

Customize Anywhere is dated

You won't see this in the actual hair change interface at the wizard's

[mental spear]

removed the buildings mod and still nothing

game still crashes

im literally just loading into my house

unless its the rain mod, can it rain on the very first or second day?

[zenith hornet]

ohh ok ty! is there a more recent alternative or a way to delete the empty spots? would removing customize anywhere and redownloading it + installing it possibly fix it?

[charred anvil]

errorhandler is back but now we're back to the error ribbon of mods not being loaded

which is better than an all red smapi i guess, right?

[gaunt gust]

I just warp myself to the wizard basement

Reinstalling will not help

[restive cypress]

Also maybe get spritemaster if you're still having issues with the load time after fixing the error handler

[summer swan]

What do you mean with not loaded? Did you remove the mods?

[charred anvil]

nope! didn't touch a thing except the installer, promise

[summer swan]

Then upload your log.

[zenith hornet]

ah ok. I'm in a new save so I haven't befriended the wizard enough yet

[mental spear]

game still crashes

anyone got an idea?

[halcyon igloo]

SVE big mad lol

[mental spear]

i can post all the mods i did use if it helps

[halcyon igloo]

i have no idea without a log lol sorry

[mental spear]

im on vita

i can't generate a log

i have to use xnb mods because im on vita, and i can't generate a log because it's not a computer

[charred anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-anxiety-calm-fire-dog-gif-5078122

[halcyon igloo]

ik but i don't know why it would be crashing maybe someone who's better at the pure software of the game might know :x

[summer swan]

Did you remove the . from the 2nd SVE folder too? 😉

[halcyon igloo]

if i had to guess it would've been custom farm buildings?

[mental spear]

i removed that and it still crashes

don't think im gonna find any help here so im just gonna test each one by one

[charred anvil]

no dots, unless we need to repeat that step again

[halcyon igloo]

if you're XNB modding then adding/removing mods might not do it tho

if the game files are wonky now

[mental spear]

i am replacing the backed up files when removing, yes

i read the wiki about xnb modding

[summer swan]

Reinstall Stardew Valley Expanded. You're missing some things.

[charred anvil]

idk what the file types are so i'm hesitant to touch

[summer swan]

On the Nexus page of SVE in the Download section you have "Preview File Contents". Those are all the folders and files you need in your mods folder. The Screenshot you just posted is the StardewValleyExpanded folder on top of this list. You're missing the ones for FTM, JA, SAAT and STF according to your log.

[charred anvil]

yeah, felt like the wrong place so I did redownload that from Nexus so I have those now

[summer swan]

In the end all 6 need to be in your mods folder or you have only installed half of SVE. 😉

[charred anvil]

oof

can I drag them over then?

[summer swan]

Yes.

When all are there: start the game and check again if SMAPI is still complaining.

[median blade]

yeah none of my mods have baby dinosaur

but i deleted blue eggs

and im going to see

if it works

[halcyon igloo]

if you want something else for your blue chickens what about bonafide special blue chicken https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8979

[charred anvil]

aaaaahh yesss okay no errors (yet)

smapi doesn't look mad either

[summer swan]

Load your save and check if that works too.
#archived-modded-support message <<-- Make yourself a note about that in case it happens again (hopefully never).

[charred anvil]

currently in my save file and all looks to be accounted for

[ocean cedar]

Does anyone know any mods that work like jei for modded minecraft?

[summer swan]

I had to google that: A mod to look up recipes etc?

[ocean cedar]

Yeah, like if I browsed for fish it would tell me where to get it and when etc which would be especially nice for when Im using 5-6 different fishing mods

[summer swan]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/541 <<--I don't use it myself but this might be what you're looking for.

[ocean cedar]

I have that but its a bit janky, thanks for the help though :D

[summer swan]

Maybe ask in #modded-stardew if they know another one. 🤷‍♀️

[halcyon igloo]

bumping now that it's a bit slower lol

[halcyon igloo]

sneak preview of the log oOoOo

[mental spear]

finally found the crash

it was deluxe barns and deluxe sheds

[odd agate]

Question for mobile (when it is updated)

[median blade]

okay i think it not a mod

i deleted blue eggs

and the other mods

its from the xnb files in content

i did reset the games files

but nope

[odd agate]

Can I get Stardew Valley Expanded on mobile when it is updated

[halcyon igloo]

can i see another log cygnus lol

[median blade]

sure

let me get it

[odd agate]

Like I just saw a video showcasing it and it said it needs multiple mod launchers (I think)

[halcyon igloo]

on android?

!videoguides

[native dragon]

The Stardew modding scene is always being updated, and as such video guides are often outdated or deprecated. For the most recent install guide, see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide.

[odd agate]

No

I know that

But does Expanded work on android

[halcyon igloo]

it should i think?

[odd agate]

Ok

But I got a bit worried

[odd agate]

Because this

[halcyon igloo]

what mod launchers are they even talking about lol

like multiple smapi?

[odd agate]

Content patcher
Expanded Preconditions utility
Extra map layers
Json assets
Shop tile framework
Custom NPC Exclusions
Spacecore
Farm Type Manager
SAAT - audio API and toolkit
SMAPI

That's what they listed

here you go

i already tested without those 3 mods

[odd agate]

[median blade]

and it still does it

oh

[odd agate]

I'm an android user

No pc

[median blade]

i was talking to to thesea

[odd agate]

Oh my bad

[median blade]

its okay

lol

[odd agate]

I've never modded before and need major assistance

Since my knowledge on this stuff is little to 0

[summer swan]

@odd agate Those are not mod launchers. They are dependencies for Stardew Valley Expanded to work to begin with.

[odd agate]

Ok

I see

Please paragraph long text, I'm I'm bit dyslexic and word walls give me bad eye strain

[summer swan]

As there is no date for SMAPI for Android yet: You can do the learning when it's out ok? As for "when": Done when it's done. 🤷‍♀️

[odd agate]

Eh?

[dusky canyon]

no smapi android yet

[odd agate]

I know

[dusky canyon]

oh

[summer swan]

You can learn how to mod it when it's out.
No need to stress about it now. 🙂

This has some information about the "how to mod".

[odd agate]

I read that already

And understood nothing

[gaunt gust]

Heads up: we don't know what mobile modding will be like when SMAPI for mobile comes out

[summer swan]

That's the other problem: Maybe SVE might even need adjustments to work on android after the update.

[old bane]

I downloaded smapi 3.18.2 and copied the text and put it into launch options but the game still wouldnt load under smapi, what could be the issue?

[odd agate]

I'll be back in a few months when it's available

[halcyon igloo]

it looks like it might be a BFAV thing?

[gaunt gust]

Did you remember to include the %command% at the end?

[median blade]

but how

[old bane]

oh! no i did not

[median blade]

like i didnt donwload a mod for dinosaur

[old bane]

thank you just realised

[median blade]

but if it is i wont hatch a dinosaur

since it breaks the games

unless

hmm

[halcyon igloo]

i don't know how to read a C# error log very well lol sorry

[median blade]

its okay

im thinking that maybe i can confuse it my making a new notepad file witht the regular dinosau.xnb

and put the "new" on as BabyDinosaur.xnb

let me see

[mental spear]

tested each mod individually on vita, any map replacement or addition mod is just not possible, will crash the game

including small ones like fixed barn and changed spouse rooms

[lapis drum]

how do i play a mod? never done anything with this before

theres no red lines of text

[worthy sundial]

there's yellow text

please read that!

[bronze light]

it was the always online mod

[dire fractal]

Does anyone know how to use modded maps that you download? I downloaded the survival island farm and don't know how to play in it?

[worthy sundial]

you usually can find some basic instructions on the mod's description

[lament vortex]

if it's a farm map replacer, it could have some sort of config to change the map it replaces

[dire fractal]

Thank you I think I just found out.

[summer swan]

It changes the river farm.

If you use the beach version it's the beach farm.

[dire fractal]

Yep just saw that thanks for all the help!

[silk ember]

my game was running fine at first but now its crashing when im loading my save file. im using smapi & i uploaded the info into the log parser & it says four errors for smapi but everything else is fine? idk what that means

is this after a crash?

[silk ember]

its the only thing that was in my logs

[worthy sundial]

maybe try removing elle's seasonal building and launching the game?

[silk ember]

yeah my game crashed

okay

[tawny spire]

quick question are u able to use multiple grass and season mods at once or no

[halcyon igloo]

wdym multiple season mods

[halcyon igloo]

how did it crash / what did it look like

[worthy sundial]

you probably aren't, as they can easily overlap

[tawny spire]

not seasonal i meant like the way they make the world look, either pastel or whatever, i was js asking if i can use multiple of those at once or will they not work

[summer swan]

You and your sister want to use different ones?

[tawny spire]

LOL

u remember us

man i prob asked too many questions

no it was js me i was curious

[halcyon igloo]

the recolors would overlap and overwrite each other

you can use different trees if you like though lol those usually work

grasses

[summer swan]

When you try to use 2 mods for the grass for example 2 things can happen: 1 overrides the other completely and you'll only see one to begin with. Option 2: They mess up with each other and don't look good together. 🤷‍♀️

[tawny spire]

oh i did 2 i think and nothing showed up so i thought it was supposed to be only one at a time

[summer swan]

And yes: Using grass from one and trees from a different one can work, but you've to adjust the mods if they're "full packages".

[silk ember]

it stopped responding completely, the music wasnt there anymore & there was a Microsoft popup telling me to force close the game

[summer swan]

Check SMAPI. It's probably telling you "2 mods try to do the same. I don't load any of them".

[tawny spire]

probably but there was also a season one that makes the map look pretty n all but it wasnt working so i thought i needed to take out the grass mod and all

[summer swan]

Advantage: I know you play multiplayer and that single player rules not always apply.

[halcyon igloo]

i... have no clue then ._. nothing is indicating anything in the log

[lunar yew]

Hello. Any feedback is much appreciated. I am playing multiplayer Stardew Valley Expanded. The SVE map was working fine on solo player but when on multiplayer the map is showing the vanilla default one instead of the SVE map. We are both using the same mods.

[silk ember]

okay!! thank u for trying i appreciate it !! ill let you know if anything different happens

[summer swan]

If you have acceptable start times for the game: Add one mod, check in game if it works, close, add the next one etc. That way you'll see right away which ones might not work together.

[halcyon igloo]

can you still load vanilla saves?

[tawny spire]

gotcha

thanks again

[halcyon igloo]

are we talking about recolors? which ones / send the log lol i might know

[silk ember]

it does this

[halcyon igloo]

how long does it do that for

[silk ember]

its been like 5 mins

[halcyon igloo]

what does smapi look like

like currently

[silk ember]

im confused by what u mean

[halcyon igloo]

the smapi console

[silk ember]

like when before i load the game? ill close and show you

[halcyon igloo]

no like when it's trying to load the save

[mighty jacinth]

you should be able to change tabs and look at what smapi looks like currently

[summer swan]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[silk ember]

it loaded finally, im using my laptop im not really tech savvy im not how to close out of my game & show the tab thingy but also my laptop is probably a couple yrs old maybe thats why its crashing cause my computer is overloaded?

cause you said the log files arent saying anything is wrong

[halcyon igloo]

!smapislow

[native dragon]

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

[silk ember]

thank u for the help 🙏🏻🙏🏻 appreciate your time

[halcyon igloo]

you're not exactly running that many mods though so maybe your computer really is just that bad lol

SVE is a lot by itself though

[silk ember]

yeah i also have the sims 2 ultimate collection on here as well w/ a bunch of mods/cc so im sure that doesnt help lol

[mighty jacinth]

if you do ctrl, shift, escape itll pop up you system processing and you can see if its something like that

[summer swan]

@halcyon igloo Couldn't they install Spritemaster to help with the laptop?

[tawny spire]

sorry i was washing the dishes but yes recolors thats the word i was looking for

[halcyon igloo]

yeah but still a >5 min load time with like 35 mods? ._.

[summer swan]

It would be worse if they would have PyTK.

[silk ember]

im cool with that 😭 i wait like 15-20 for the sims

[summer swan]

Ok. If it's fine with you it's ok.

[halcyon igloo]

you could still try downloading spritemaster though lol

[silk ember]

ill look into that thank u!!

[summer swan]

You don't have to use the "smooth" part. That can be disabled if you don't like it.

[languid yarrow]

can I get support for using tmxl2cp here?

[halcyon igloo]

sure

[languid yarrow]

usage steps are:

1. Download the latest release. done
2. Install the latest version of [Python 3]and [Tiled]. done
3. Place your TMXL mod in TMXL/, so that the content.json is in TMXL/content.json. How do I do that? what's the full path? where is TMXL/ supposed to be?

[languid yarrow]

oooh

[halcyon igloo]

or drop the mod folder in and then rename it to TMXL

[ashen plaza]

is this an issue with HD Portraits or with talkohlooey's sve portraits?

[languid yarrow]

wait how did you start with stardew valley conversions folder?

that's just my folder where i put it lol

[languid yarrow]

ok so location doesn't matter? just have a folder named TMXl is ok?

[halcyon igloo]

TMXL in the same directory level as main.py

[languid yarrow]

did I get it right?

[halcyon igloo]

is that what it put out?

[languid yarrow]

make tmxl folder
drop tmxl mod in the folder
run main.py

and that's what I got in tmxl folder, yes

sounds about right, right?

[halcyon igloo]

checks out

make sure all the assets and stuff are properly combined

[languid yarrow]

wait... the zip of farmhouse already has a CP folder..

did the .py do this...

oh fc me

yeah something's not right and I messed up
Turns out i don't have to troubleshoot it

[halcyon igloo]

no the TMXL is for the rooftop

[halcyon igloo]

take the insides of the assets from the TMXL2CP output and add them to the assets for the CP folder

merge the content.json files

[lunar yew]

I sent my log but we can disregard this now. I figured it out and it was my bf was missing something on his end. Thanks!!

[languid yarrow]

Can you rephrase it in simpler terms?

also is this normal? the black screen flashes too quickly and deletes itself with no results shown

I think I followed the steps properly

while you're offline, I'll download the 0.14 version of tm2cpstill doesn't work

[rapid jasper]

does anyone know if helpful spouses and custom chores work in multiplayer? my friend and i are trying to run it but its not in our mod menu in game

!compat

[native dragon]

See https://smapi.io/mods for a searchable list of mods updated for the latest versions of SMAPI and Stardew Valley, with links to download them. :)

[languid yarrow]

check the mod page

[west gyro]

Is there any way I can know if a specific mod is dependent on another mod in smapi?

[rapid jasper]

we looked over custom chores, help for hire, and helpful spouses but are having trouble and don’t really understand it since we this is our first time trying to add mods. i couldn’t understand it. 😭

[calm heron]

if the mod is on nexus, drop down the "requirements" menu

[west gyro]

I have like 150 mods installed and I'm gonna remove the SpritesInDetails mod. I wanted to check if there are some mods that would crash if I remove them. I'd like to avoid checking each mod on nexus mod if I can

[languid yarrow]

again, just look at the requirements from the drop down table on nexus

[west gyro]

so it comes down to checking each mod on nexus?

[vale halo]

they are saying they don't want to do that because they would have to do that for ~150 mods

[west gyro]

Just wondering if there's a better way to do that

or would SMAPI detect if dependencies are off?

[vale halo]

it should give you an error that a dependency is missing, but i'm not sure if it tells you which mods need that dependency

[west gyro]

Hmm I have run the game once removing and it didnt give me any error and launched normally. Should I take it as nothing broke?

[vale halo]

i mean...

https://tenor.com/view/try-it-and-see-give-it-a-try-try-try-and-see-try-it-yourself-gif-24095805

[jolly glacier]

Where can I find the png version of all the items in the game?

[west gyro]

Hahaha thanks I guess I'll do that. Hopefully nothing breaks because I love my farm rn

[vale halo]

if you don't save nothing should be able to break

[hoary bane]

You can unpack it with Smapi or with another unpacker.

Content folder.

[calm heron]

...in the requirements dropdown is a section that reads "mods that require this mod"

cross-reference it with your mods list

[neat plaza]

you did not
this should be the contents of TMXL/ http://i.pil.ninja/image/k66oh.png
and you run it from the command line http://i.pil.ninja/image/673m5.gif

[steep heron]

is there a way to prioritize the mod load order with Stardrop? because i have tons of dialogue changing mods but want to prioritize some because i think they're being overwritten

[vale halo]

don't think that is possible, neither with nor without stardrop, since mods can specify in which stage they want to load within their code

you can try renaming the folders and hope for alphabetical order, but other than that i wouldn't know how you could change the order

[steep heron]

i thought you could do it with Nexus Vortex?

if mods were redundant you could choose which took priority

[vale halo]

i don't even think you can do it with smapi outside of folder renaming and hoping mod code that specifies the stage to load screws you over again

[steep heron]

heck

[vale halo]

if anything you could enable/disable specific mods, could be that vortex does that

[dusty spruce]

You can go into smapi-internal/config.json and edit ModsToLoadEarly/ModsToLoadLate

[vale halo]

that's a thing O_O?

[dusty spruce]

Yeah, I PR’d that in like 3 months ago

[steep heron]

you are a god send, i hope this works

will let you know if it does

[steep heron]

okay so i found where it is you're talking about

if im concerned about a mod overwriting other content do i load the one i want more first or last?

[dusty spruce]

i'd put the one you want to override everything else into the Late mods

[steep heron]

okay

and i assume i put them in the brackets divided by a " , "

and with the names for the mods being as they appear in the Stardrop UI?

or should i search through the JSON and see if it names them differently

[dusty spruce]

["Unique.Mod.ID.A", "Unique.Mod.ID.B"]

the unique IDs are in manifest.json of each mod

[steep heron]

oh okay cool

i'll do my best, thanks for the support

[dusty spruce]

(the order matters, too)

[steep heron]

they all do completely separate things so it should be fine in any order right? (if they're all in load later)

[dusty spruce]

yep

[steep heron]

they just affect individual character dialogue

okay cool
