I got confused, my game doesn't crash, it just doesn't open

I know it usually takes time to open, but I've been waiting for more than 30 minutes

[lament vortex]

!troubleshoot

[native dragon]

hey! Can I get you to run through this troubleshooting guide https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch? If none of the options there work, can you post the error message you get if you open SMAPI using the command line?

[lament vortex]

try to do the steps here, and restart ur pc as well just in case

[safe shuttle]

I don't know if it will help the not starting issue, but you'll want to delete and re-add Immersive Farm 2 as well (downloadable from the SVE files page)

[lunar zinc]

I reinstalled the game and now it doesn't open even without smapi

💀

[neat plaza]

what does it say

[lunar zinc]

nothing, it just appears that I'm playing on steam, when I'm not

[near terrace]

Verify game files in steam and try again, maybe something got messed up

[molten zenith]

Sup, I have a problem with farm extended, rather it dosn't work, alltho smapi doesn't mention any problem in the console. I also have about 40 mods installed in total, but it's realy just farm extended wich is messing. if you got any ideas dm me pls.

farm extended is fine or could other out of date mods interfere with it?

[long brook]

You use SVE with IF2R which change standard farm. That's why farm extended won't work

Actually you have both IF2R amd Grandpa's Farm installed

[verbal quarry]

Hi, I'm making my first mod (content pack with content patcher and unlockable bundles) and made a custom location and npc, the only thing is that the npc walks through thin air to get to pierre's shop on tuesdays when they're not supposed to until a bridge is fixed. I was wondering if there was a way to make a schedule for only a certain day and if a certain requirement is met. He also walks through a tree.

[scarlet quail]

#making-mods-general

Also I would bet that would be an issue with your map but I'd refer to people in the proper section

[verbal quarry]

Okay thanks

[junior basin]

When mod pages say to not use mod managers with Stardew Valley it just says that because Vortex sucks and not all mod managers are bad for this game? Like if I use Mod Organizer 2 I won't run into problems like someone would if they were to use Vortex?

[modern python]

no idea about Mod Organizer 2 tbh but if you want a mod manager that will definitely work for stardew, use stardrop

!stardrop

[native dragon]

Stardrop (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10455) is the only mod manager written specifically for Stardew Valley. For information about how to install and use it, please see the Stardrop wiki: https://floogen.gitbook.io/stardrop/

If you're having an issue, here's the guidelines on reporting issues: https://floogen.gitbook.io/stardrop/resources/reporting-issues

[junior basin]

But when mod pages say don't use mod managers for this game their mainly taking about Vortex since it sucks?

[modern python]

yes, because vortex was not made for stardew modding and often messes things up

[junior basin]

Vortex also just seems bad in general, guides for games Vortex was made for like Skyrim say to never use Vortex

[lime lintel]

Ty! I’m not very good at this :’)

[iron jackal]

hey remember I was converting some hairstyle pngs? I don’t see em show up on the main character editor at the start of a new file, but the conversion guide I used was to turn them into json assets for Fashion Sense I think… that said, I’ll be able to change my hair using the hand mirror right?

[lament vortex]

that guide should help ^ if you have any issues, you're free to come back and explain what the problem is

[lament vortex]

yes

fashion sense mods don't show up on the character creator

[iron jackal]

aight tysm!

[lime lintel]

Sooo am I supposed to go on the ‘ instal on Linux ‘ file?

Apologies for so many questions I’m just really dumb 😭

[modern python]

if you use linux, yes

[lime lintel]

Oh wait no windows shit yeah my bad 😰

I’m so sorry 💔

[iron jackal]

Hold on I might’ve asked this already but

Does Stardew Valley Expanded incorporate the various different farm styles you can choose at the start of the game?

[modern python]

wdym by incorporate

[iron jackal]

Like, did the modder of that mod remake those farm layouts to fit in with the expanded map

I heard using Grandpa’s Farm is recommended but is it necessary?

Does Grandpa’s farm have those layouts? 😐

[modern python]

no, they only have grandpa's farm and immersive, which are optional files. mostly every farm type, vanilla or custom, will work with sve.

grandpa's farm is just one map

[dusky canyon]

maap

[modern python]

sh

[dusky canyon]

[iron jackal]

I chose the riverside map and I don’t have grandpa’s farm, it looks like it works on the map though?

I feel like it’s bigger too but idk

[modern python]

looks normal to me

like i said most farm types will work with sve

[iron jackal]

nah it’s bigger than vanilla

[modern python]

ok still works tho does it not?

[iron jackal]

yeah I guess lol

[lament vortex]

i mean, sve also changes the minimap so your farm on the minimap won't ever look the same as vanilla with it installed

[iron jackal]

I see

[long brook]

This is modded game support bleppboo

[iron jackal]

Oh my bad

[tranquil ingot]

Hi! I was wondering if your mods carry over from your pc save of Stardew to the steam deck ? Or do I have to redownload them all on the steam deck

[long brook]

You can copy mods from your pc to steam deck

[tranquil ingot]

So I have to set up smapi again on my steam deck and such?

[long brook]

Yes

[tranquil ingot]

Also how do I copy them over?

[long brook]

Through cloud storage or sd card maybe. I don't own steamdeck myself

[tranquil ingot]

Alright thank you

[woven socket]

I am trying to install ui info but it says " UI Info Suite 2.0.0 because it's no longer compatible. Please check for a newer version at https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1150 or https://smapi.io/mods"

[long brook]

!uiinfosuite

[native dragon]

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

[slim granite]

CURSE U NEXUS

[modern python]

?

[long brook]

Not nexus false. It's the author doesn't maintain it anymore and someone else maintain it on github

[woven socket]

thank you so much

[long brook]

You're welcome

[coral furnace]

Thank you
It worked

[wild summit]

Are there any rules regarding "bumping" messages or reposting issues that haven't been resolved?

[modern python]

no, standard practice here is to repost something if no one answered originally

[mild talon]

...any idea what would cause the game to keep going into "(Not Responding)" mode..?
Something is def wrong here 😕

[granite pelican]

Hi! I just started playing a few days ago, and i have found a bunch of cool stuff that can be added into the game through mods. I'm currently playing on mac and found a video that used something called SMAPI, is it safe to use?

Yes

[long brook]

If you get problem installing mods, feel free to ask here

[granite pelican]

is my game going to be appearing like this forever?

[neat plaza]

thats normal

[gaunt gust]

Yeah, that's the monogame logo

[granite pelican]

ok, thanks 🙂

[mystic orbit]

oh boy, some mods are conflicting ig and idk what to do
so i just installed stardew valley expanded
i usually play with flower valley and starblue valley for recolors
when i opened the game, flower valley isn't working but starblue was
i removed starblue and flower valley worked again
i've never had problems with compatibility of the two before
any advice would be nice, since the medeval buildings for sve mod and medeval buildings for the farm both work, it's just flower valley for the buildings in town that's broken

!log

[native dragon]

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

[slim granite]

Hi

I need to restart my modinh

Ugh

Ok lets start with smapi

[mild talon]

so, this is my latest log in Profiler... I've no idea what to make of this! it looks bad though

[slim granite]

Can u rename the starfew valley mods folder or will mess wiyh stuff

[modern python]

the one that says Mods?

[mild talon]

it's gotta say mods

unless you don't wanna play with mods lol

(that's how some people disable mods)

[slim granite]

Igh

I was gonna rename it stardew valley Mods

[modern python]

why? its already in the stardew folder

[slim granite]

Bc i was gonna pin the folder

[wicked geode]

Hey there friends, i'm having some trouble loading a new save... It starts loading what i understand as Custom NPC Exclusions and stays there forever. I even downsized my mod list, but it continues to do the same.

[granite pelican]

If I play online with mods (just furniture and decoration stuff) can the other players enter?

[slim granite]

So from wat i heard i can make sub folder in the mods folder and smapi still go through them rigjt?

[modern python]

yes

[slim granite]

YEY

ORGANIZATIOM

[safe shuttle]

Yes, but it is generally advised that all players have the same mods. If you ONLY use visual mods that don't change anything else about the game, then other players should be able to play with you (though they won't see the same thing you see). But if they add new items to the game at all (or new NPCs, or new anything) then it cause problems if one player has the mods and the other doesn't. Best practice is for all players to have identical mod folders.

(Locals can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong; this is my understanding based on what others have said.)

[scarlet quail]

This is accurate

As for the furniture thing if it adds any new furniture other players would need it

If it's just a re texture of existing furniture, then it's fine.

[lament vortex]

you can put a custom icon on it. assuming youre on windows, that is. i dont know if its possible on mac

puffer = stardew. shopping bag = sims

[rancid dome]

Please help me. I think my modded game glitched in a cutscene and I can’t skip it. Is there a way to use SMAPI Console to skip a cutscene?

[modern python]

oo

[lament vortex]

all the ones i see on the wiki end and restart the event again, so unless you want that, i dont think so

[scarlet quail]

Not in-built. If you give a log, we can see what the console's saying about the scene and if you have event repeater so you can emergencyskip

[granite pelican]

Now we are playing with the same mods, but my friends keeps struggling to get into the game :(, she gets the “connection lost” message sometimes and others her game quits. This is the first time we worked with mods :(, my game is just fine

[safe shuttle]

Is your character physically stuck? One thing that helped me a lot when I had issues with conflicting mods was installing NoClip. Then if my character got stuck during a scene, I could hit F11 and walk through things.

[safe shuttle]

I'm afraid I can't help you with this; maybe someone else here can.

[rancid dome]

It was a cutscene where Sebastian was smoking at night next to the lake. My character was (I assuming) supposed to walk up to him, but instead just kept walking off screen. I ended up having to hard quit out of the game. Bummer that I lost the day and have to restart.

[safe shuttle]

Ugh, that sucks. It sounds like a map/event incompatibility between mods. I had that issue with a mod once where I couldn't even trigger the first scene because of a similar map problem. If you use something like SR3, you might see if temporarily removing it helps (though do not remove SVE; that will break your game!)

[rancid dome]

That sucks. What’s SR3?

[lament vortex]

stardew valley reimagined 3

!log

[native dragon]

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

[lament vortex]

if you send this, we might able to see if there's any errors

[rancid dome]

Ah okay, I don’t use SR3. I’ll see if it happens again, if so I’ll be glad to upload my log. I’m back in the game and don’t want to stop now lol. Thanks for the help!

[neat violet]

@honest pike I wouldn't think that one patch failing would cause nothing to work, but try setting that Alex setting to 6 and see if it works. That's the only issue I see on your log.

[honest pike]

It was on 6, that's the one that didn't work isn't it?

The one that requires another mod I mean

[lament vortex]

yes, that one specifically requires another mod. just to confirm you've already changed all their configs and restarted your game?

[honest pike]

I have

Should I just change his marriage outfit to another number

[neat violet]

Yeah, you have it set to 6 and have that mod?

[honest pike]

I don't have that mod

[neat violet]

Ah, that'd be the problem then.

You need Elaho's mod as well.

[honest pike]

That's what I'm saying, that one thing broke the whole game

I can change it, I'm just curious

[neat violet]

I'm not sure if that's it or not. So try changing it and see if it works.

(or install Elaho's mod, either way)

[slim granite]

can someone do the command for that mod that makes pixels wonk and makes it run better

[lament vortex]

???

[neat violet]

!spritemaster

[native dragon]

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

[slim granite]

thx!

[lament vortex]

If changing that option doesn't work, can you do this, Nova?

1. Load your save and go to the area or character where you're having the bug.
2. Type patch summary full DSVTeam.DiverseStardewValley directly into the SMAPI window and press enter.
3. Type DSV.Core Details directly into the SMAPI window and press enter.
4. Upload your SMAPI log to https://log.smapi.io/ (see instructions on that page).
   Post the log link here.

[honest pike]

Yea cause they still don't look changed

[mystic orbit]

https://smapi.io/log/2a1440b3ebdf4b2ebec6bd4666ffd48a

oh, nova, i see you have seasonal cute characters

i'm pretty sure that's what's conflicting here

[neat violet]

ohh yeah, that would do it

[honest pike]

Oh
Do i need to remove seasonal outfits all together?

[neat violet]

Yes, but DSV has its own seasonal outfits.

[lament vortex]

yes, or turn off the villagers you don't want in the sca config

[neat violet]

(Plus beachwear, swimwear, and rainwear)

[honest pike]

Hmmm there'd be none for the sve then?

[lament vortex]

the sve one is separate, you can keep that

[honest pike]

Ohh
Ok then

[neat violet]

Yeah, DSV only does the vanilla characters, it doesn't touch SVE's.

(there is a SVE version of DSV, but it's outdated as I recall and no longer supported)

[honest pike]

So I remove seasonal cute

[lament vortex]

yes

[midnight bone]

Me and my roommates started a new Stardew modded game to add a new friend, we made sure they had all the same mods and all of them were up to date but the new player is having horrible desync / delayed action issues

is there a fix for this?

[honest pike]

Loading game again

[midnight bone]

What if we've tried that several times? :, )

ok so i have my smapi log here, the mod im having issues with is called horse overhaul. none of the keybindings are working. I can't open up my horse friendship, feed it, or open the saddlebags. And I can't figure out why. you can see the error messages at the very end

[hearty hazel]

the out of date mods are not out of date, I just downloaded them all in the past few days. As for Pytk, a lot of my mods require it so I'm just rolling with the slower loading times

[lament vortex]

!pytk you dont need it anymore btw, not unless you're using content patcher high res portraits. most mods just havent updated that in their description/requirements yet. but the frameworks that needed pytk no longer do, so youre free to delete it

[native dragon]

The PyTK mod is now obsolete. You can delete it from your mods folder, and all your mods should be safe.

If you get an error saying you're missing PyTK, open the mod(s) manifest.json and change the PyTK dependency from true to false

[lament vortex]

i dont think thats whats causing ur issue with horse overhaul tho, im not sure what the problem is

have u triend deleting and reinstalling it?

[hearty hazel]

i have a portrait mod, so would that mess with the portrait mod if i got rid of pytk?

and i just installed it today. one of the other mods might be interfering with it

[modern python]

i would try reinstalling it just to see if it works

[hearty hazel]

the only reason i want it is because of the horse saddlebags. extra inventory space. But if theres an alternate mod that gives the horse some sort of storage mechanic i would happily uninstall horse oerhaul and install that one

[lament vortex]

if it's content patcher, yes. you can easily convert it to portraiture tho

or see if theres a portraiture version of it otherwise

[hearty hazel]

im pretty sure i have content pathcer and portraiture

[lament vortex]

yes, i mean, if it's a high res portrait that uses content patcher. you would know if it's high res because they don't look pixely, but hd

i dont think you have any though. either way you can take it out and see what happens with your portraits, you wont break anything if they dont look right

[hearty hazel]

alright ill try reinstalling the horse mod and deleting pytk

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11491

this is the portrait mod im using

[lament vortex]

yeah doesn't need pytk

[hearty hazel]

alrighty well ill give it a go

I'm really at a loss for why this is happening.. from the moment i wake up in bed there's terrible lag. the FPS says it hovers around 1-2.

keybinds

I refreshed it to default and now its showing me p as well

but p pulls up my mod cheat config and h pulls up the help wanted board

and i already tried changing the keybinds as well

[modern python]

how

[hearty hazel]

how what?

[modern python]

how did you try to change the keybinds

[hearty hazel]

i clicked on it and it lets me put in a new key

f5 and f6 didn't do anything so i tried using those but it still didn't work

[slim granite]

Do i use 1st 1 or 2nd 1

[civic nest]

Does anybody know why ver 1.9.4 of the never ending adventure mod plus npc adventure mod not working either or am I just doing something wrong

I'm trying to download em for eastscarp and a few other mods that need it

[idle sand]

hey guys how do i make steam use the smapi.exe and not the original?

i keep getting this error

[civic nest]

@river marten nuggets go to stardew on steam go to the settings click on properties and put the small file into launch options in general

Smapi file*

@idle sand

[slim granite]

PPJA mods i cant figure out

[idle sand]

I forgot to put " " on the launch option

[civic nest]

It do be like Dat

[idle sand]

i didn't know you have to do that

man

Right it's working now

[civic nest]

I use stardrop to launch smapi its easier for me personally but good that it's working now

[idle sand]

I usually open my games with the steam tray

Too lazy to close all of my tabs and press on the desktop shortcut

[civic nest]

Fair 😂

[hearty hazel]

ok so i uninstalled and reinstalled annnd its still not working

unfortunately

i might just cut my losses and uninstall the mod

[long brook]

2nd. 1st one are inside 2nd

[slim granite]

thx

[mild talon]

anyone know which mod this is from?

[civic nest]

It just always says it needs update but won't actually update when I do it or even fully delete them and download the "updated" version

[vapid raven]

oh i had that issue

simple fix

right click and find it in the folder

just gotta change some numbers

[mild talon]

there seems to be something weird and bad with the forest map.. whenever i try to go there it freezes and Profiler starts spamming stuff like crazy. I tried turning off DR in the gmcm cuz i saw that name being called a lot.
was able to warp back to the farm but the lag and stuckness isn't really stopping D:

[vapid raven]

@civic nest

[civic nest]

I got it open what do I need to change

[vapid raven]

then go to this funky little spot thats highlighted

change the number here to "1.9.4"

it'll say 1.9.3 for ya

[civic nest]

That opens in Google for me how do I solve that?

[vapid raven]

you can change that to notepad

right click again

[civic nest]

Sweet got it

[vapid raven]

change "open with" and direct it to notepad

[civic nest]

Then change it to .4 instead of .3 right

[vapid raven]

yes, 1.9.4

you'll need to do the same for the "never ending adventure code" version

same way, go to the manifest then change that last number to a 4 and boom

[civic nest]

How do I save it to the same file 🤔

[vapid raven]

it'll give a popup to save

[civic nest]

Or do I just close notepad and it'll save 🤔

[vapid raven]

close it and itll have the option to save it

[civic nest]

Thx u so fucking much I've been sitting here for 4ish hours trying to figure this out u are the best

[vapid raven]

ah gucci, happens a lot to some of the other mods I use so I'm used to the little changes

[civic nest]

One last thing the mod fetk saying broken comp issues do I need to worry bout that at all @vapid raven

[vapid raven]

is it in yellow

[civic nest]

I'm trying to download the content patcher mod to help me get other mods but it's not working. What should I try to do?

[naive drum]

!gettingstarted

[native dragon]

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

[long brook]

You need Fashion Sense and PyTK. For Beatrice, it's not maintained anymore iirc
for seasonal garden farmhouse, you might wann use this https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/15606

[naive drum]

Majual download, unzip, put in mods folder, make sure you launch game via smapi

[civic nest]

The platanymous toolkit?

[long brook]

for beatrice

[civic nest]

And with the farmhouse it is the rooftop part of the mod not loading or does that fix it to

[long brook]

idk that much as i dont use that mod

[civic nest]

Oki well thx for the other info I'll see what else I can do to fix the roof part

[floral cosmos]

I keep getting a message in smapi as i try to open my modded stardew that one mod can't open because content patcher isn't installed. But i installed it and have it in the mods folder, what could i be doing wrong?

hey, I'm kinda new to using smpai commands. I have unlocked the skull cavern a couple of weeks ago and I found a command where you can warp to 121+ level in the skull cavern.
The command is: world_setminelevel 121.

The console responds,stating that i am being warped to that level but it never takes me there. Is it because I am already in the mines? Do i need to be outside of the skull mines in order for this command to work?

[long brook]

Your mods folder is here
/Users//Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS/Mods

And when i check the mods isn't unzipped yet

[floral cosmos]

ohhh okay i got it, tyy. Now i'm getting this different message and when i logged into a file the portraits still hadn't changed to the mod? .-.

[long brook]

you need pytk for that mod

[floral cosmos]

got it, now it's saying that the Portraits/DCBurger folder mod is empty :|
sorry, i'm new at this modding

hi, if anyone can help me i'd truly appreciate it! https://smapi.io/log/7773c98307a1446e91277eb23a44dda1

My game's started lagging v badly, to the point it's unplayable.
It first happened Fri night when i was trying to test things for a mod i was making and i Think that was b/c I'd had chrome browsers open while running/playing the game and toggling btwn tabs (i don't/can't do that normally).

Now whenever i load my save (it & game load fine) the lagging/stuttering occurs as soon as my farmer wakes up in bed. The frame rate shows as 1-2 on the Steam FPS counter. Nearly impossible to navigate/move around.

The worst happens whenever i enter the forest, which is concerning! the game just hangs and i cannot move my farmer at all or press buttons and my cursor also is frozen most of the time. Warping to another location doesn't fix this either... after i enter the "cursed" forest, it wrecks the game and i'm unable to do anything outside of console commands.

I hope not/don't think so but gotta ask if it's possible my mod had anything to do with this..??
(it's a simple Custom Companions mod that adds in a CC in the forest.) i don't really think it would cause this but i have no idea what's going on! there are No errors in SMAPI (outside of me messing up commands) /nothing pertaining to this problem AFAICS.
I just want to fix my game. I've tried a few things and nothing has helped. I really need someone who knows how things work to help me figure it out.

[mild talon]

i don't understand what happened to the forest or how to fix it
is there some patch thing i could use to see where the problem is..?? the lagging issue is already severe but entering that forest map totally kills the game.
this is the Profiler report: https://stardew.361zn.is/
all i can see is two huge spikes but i don't know why or what it means 🙃

from the smapi it seems the SVR3 is crashing when you go to the forest

WHAT

where did that come from

lol it's ok, luckily I saw it for you so maybe that can put you in the right direction

[mild talon]

i think i missed it cuz Profiler profiles the whole time incessantly x/x

yeah! i mean. agh. TYSM Rafffie!

[crystal galleon]

never used profiler, I just looked at smapi. you're welcome 😄

[mild talon]

wait.. this is weird. i've dealt with this issue before... hmm... must remember what that problem meant

[calm heron]

says it cant read .tbin as system.object

[mild talon]

yeahh.. and uh.. what's that mean? i can't read it that way either

[crystal galleon]

so the map doesn't want to load, but if you can change it to .tmx it should read it

After many troubleshooting, I just found out that the "Even More Recipes" mod was the one causing this problem. I didnt want to remove this mod so I played around some files of the mod folder, which showed that the least API version requirement was v3.8. Is this actually true? does anyone know if I can include the mod with the BAGI pack without giving an error?

the game now runs smoothly with the BAGI mod pack if I remove the EMR mod, but i still do want to include the EMR mod.. do i have no choice but to remove it?

[grim oriole]

I just said f it and used a debug command to complete the quest

The game doesn’t seem to care yet as I can still introduce myself to every character without issue so far

[river smelt]

Hey guys, I tried to get SVE on my android, but It doesn't seem to work. I've downloaded SMAPI and have placed all of the mods needed into the mods folder, but when I run Stardew it's normal. Anyone know why this might be?

[dusty spruce]

because Android SMAPI is still having problems running a lot of mods

and i don't mean like "many at once", i mean "many of the existing mods"

[river smelt]

Ah I see

Thanks for the help

[jade sequoia]

Anyone else having issues with Gwen’s buildings? Specifically the coops/barns. Every night my coop resets back to vanilla and I have to change it back. One other person mentioned having the issue.

[devout smelt]

I only just got back to this, Event Repeater seems a little too advanced for me, I can't figure out what event ID I have to forget

[frank linden]

Dudess if I were to download a mod like sdv expanded and load up a vanilla save would the save corrupt or would it still work like normal?

[long brook]

If you don't save when you load it. It stays vanilla

[frank linden]

Ohh so it would still open like normal even after installing the mod?

[long brook]

Yes

[frank linden]

Niceee thank you sm!!

[long brook]

Just remember, if you accidentally load a vanilla save while modding with expansion, don't sleep and just quit to main menu. That save will be fine

[frank linden]

I will keep that in mind, thanks!!

[rain lava]

Depends on your mods. You got smapi log handy?

It may be something easy, like Animals need water mod that overwrites the exterior ( can be changed in it's config options )

[jade sequoia]

You know what, that’s exactly it. I have that mod installed

Just tested it, all fixed now, Ty! @rain lava

[safe shuttle]

There's an option to not have Ridgeside characters count toward the Introduction Quest in the Ridgeside configs.

[safe shuttle]

So no need to uninstall 🙂

[restive grove]

the total number of villagers in that quest is set when the game starts.. so even if you removed them then count will still say the old number, would have to use 'cheats' to beat the quest if you didn't want to meet that many people or couldn't due to removal.

@gaunt gust
Hey Atra, sorry for the ping, but I've run into a bit of a problem with your shovel mod. Basically, when I use it to remove the giant crops I have, it prevents the ground from being un-tilled and I've no idea what exactly is causing that. Here's a link to my old post detailing the same problem (#archived-modded-support message) with a few more error messages and here's (https://smapi.io/log/eab9011a42fd4b248c0fdfc8bbe3cd0c) a new log without them. Basically, I opened the save, spawned the shovel, removed the crops and ground became problematic. Everything works fine when I cut them down with the axe. Any ideas?

god, i hate Discord's message links

no matter how many times i click this one, it just doesn't bring me to the correct message

it's a different message each time

[gaunt gust]

....do you have giant crop tweaks

I think we knew this could happen

Yup okay

Okay I think I have to remove her moddata

[visual jetty]

Yeah, I do, but I figured that wasn't the problem since your description mentioned the shovel's been tested with it. So it's a known problem?

[gaunt gust]

I did test with it but not that specific circumstance apparently

(What I tested were the giant crops added through that mod haha)

[dusty spruce]

i wonder how's Khloe

[visual jetty]

So no way to "reset" the affected tiles without rolling back, I assume?

[gaunt gust]

Not currently I suspect but it is her mod restoring them

So if you temporarily disable that

Remove the hoedirt

And put it back the dirt should be gone

[visual jetty]

Oh, alright. Thanks a lot!

(And sorry again for randomly pinging you.)

[gaunt gust]

And I need to unset her moddata

No worries! I don't mind pings with actual actionable items XD

(I knew putting down a giant crop and axing it would make hoedirt appear, we tested that one and decided keeping it was amusing, I didn't realize that I needed to unset that otherwise you get ghosts)

[vestal dust]

There's a setting in the GCM for ridgeside to turn on easier intro (or something similar). It will remove the requirement to meet all the ridgeside people to complete the quest.

this would leave ridgeside installed negating any issues about save states while still making the intro quest be significantly less overwhelming.

Thank you

[mild talon]

Ok, I know ppl have asked if u can create a folder called Mods when trying to install smapi (no), but after it's all set up n working.. can I make a new folder called Mods and rename the other??
(Sorry if this is a dumb question trying to save some sanity/running out fast)

[long brook]

Yes, and smapi will detect the folder named Mods unless you specified smapi to load the folder that you renamed

[mild talon]

Oh thank goodness 😅 🙏 'ppreciate the confirmation Box!

[coarse crane]

how do i install the defense division and use the english translator

[restive grove]

download the old 0.8.1 version.. place normally. download the english translation files.. extract somewhere else. in that folder is the main folder and copy that into your mods.. and make sure it overwrites the correct files

actually there's a newer translation than the 0.8.1 version.. so ignore that part

[sharp merlin]

Does somebody tried to add SMAPI as an external program to steam to start with a different mod-folder? When I try it, SMAPI always starts with the default folder, instead of the given one. Trying to start it from the console was successful. Anyone some tips?`

[restive grove]

altough you can play with launch options/etc in steam.. you might find it easier to use stardrop mod manager. As you can then create different launch profiles with ease.

[long brook]

should be something like this

[scarlet quail]

Outside is correct

....although it looks like you might be doing the non steam game method, in which case wtf Steam why did you modify it this way

(you could move Launch options from Outside's comment to target)

[mild talon]

(DD is on 0.9 iirc ? Oh, Limey said that! ...I've found the installation kind of a pita as you have to open up all the folders to drag n drop/overwrite.. am I doing it wrong or is that just how it is?)

Like if you try to drag the CP folder it will just add that folder and not put the files inside where they're meant to go >:

[restive grove]

shouldn't have to.. as long as the main folder is the same name.. dragging with copy across all the subfolders with it.. and as long as they're all the same name.. shouldn't be an issue.

[mild talon]

Hmm.. maybe that was the difference 🤔

So I understand that a lot of my mods need updating but only the most recent one I installed has issues and it’s only one specific issue where the cabins aren’t modded like they should be. Everything else works fine. I’ve avoided updating certain mods bc smapi is telling me they might break

It’s the cute valley pink mod

[scarlet quail]

Hmmmm. I'm not certain about the innards of Cute Valley - Pink, especially because it's old, but your particular issues are

11:14:08 WARN Content Patcher Ignored Cute Valley - Pink > Load Buildings/log cabin #2: the FromFile is invalid: '{{seasonal}}' can't be used as a token because that token could not be found. 11:14:08 WARN Content Patcher Ignored Cute Valley - Pink > Load Buildings/plank cabin #2: the FromFile is invalid: '{{seasonal}}' can't be used as a token because that token could not be found. 11:14:08 WARN Content Patcher Ignored Cute Valley - Pink > Load Buildings/stone cabin #2: the FromFile is invalid: '{{seasonal}}' can't be used as a token because that token could not be found. 11:14:08 WARN Content Patcher Ignored Cute Valley - Pink > Load Buildings/gold clock #2: the FromFile is invalid: '{{seasonal}}' can't be used as a token because that token could not be found.

{{seasonal}} may have intended to be {{season}}, so you might just be able to find the patch in Cute Valley and edit {{seasonal}} to {{season}}

but since I don't know the innards of it entirely, I'd probably want to refer to someone who has had the mod in use before

[urban rose]

Ok I’ll try changing that and see if it fixes it

[mild talon]

The breaking thing is in smapi 4.0 just fyi

!deprecated

[native dragon]

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

[urban rose]

Oh so I should update everything I can and that would also probably make my game less laggy bc I just installed this cute valley and it’s performing way worse than before

[restive grove]

quick glance I can only see 5 incorrect tokenvalues

[scarlet quail]

....not surprised given how old cute valley is

[urban rose]

I’m not sure what tokens even are but I’m able to go in and change things if I know what I’m supposed to do

[humble bay]

does artisan valley still work because everytime i try to load the game it says this?

[mild talon]

You missing dependencies

[scarlet quail]

nope, you need that morefood mod

[mild talon]

It's called More Recipes

[scarlet quail]

which... god, is that only in the megapack now or something?

[mild talon]

Iirc

[restive grove]

just open the content.json file of cute balley pink with a text editor such as notepad. Search for {{seasonal}} using find... and change it to {{season}}

and save

[scarlet quail]

either way it's one of them

[urban rose]

Thank you, and that’s all I can do to try to fix it?

[restive grove]

the problem is with the mod itself

nothing else

[mild talon]

(It's kinda confusing when the ID and the mod name on Nexus don't match )

[scarlet quail]

it should be exactly what you have to do to fix it, dark pit

as the image Limey shared shows that yes, it was a token error

[restive grove]

also just good to learn how to tweak/fix little things like this. As sometimes you can get a mod that has a minor typo/bug .. you can fix it in 1 minute.. but might take a week+ to get officially fixed.

[urban rose]

Yeah I’ve been getting into making little tweaks to do frankenmods lol this just isn’t something I was familiar with

[scarlet quail]

Oh friend, if you're doing personal edits, for the love of goodness, get autolog for the future

it will save you... so many headaches

just one button and blammo, you'll have errors and where to look XD

[urban rose]

That’s nice to know, I just didn’t even know that mod existed

[terse lichen]

hi everypony! i'm wondering if there's a way to have the better horses mod apply to both horses in multiplayer? i want them to look different on both of our computers but not sure if possible if anyone could run me through it ! :D

[slender pike]

i think in order to have a mod work on both, both players need to download the mod

also ive been hearing people talk about a potential mod that will eventually replace BFAV, but is that still in the works? or is it published or have they given up on it or what

[lament vortex]

im preeeetty sure thats going to be content patcher when 1.6 drops

i dont think anyone is working on any other replacement

[slender pike]

ok! just checking lol

Hi I changed all the “seasonal” to “season” and the error message in smapi disappeared but when I opened my game it’s still not displaying the modded cabins, do I have to like demolish and rebuild them?

interesting

what is in your assets/seasonal/spring folder?

for Cute Valley

[urban rose]

I tried updating all my mods and most of them worked but I installed he latest files of pytk and cute valley like it said but it still says I’m outdated

Oh ok lemme look

Ok so it see,s like for whatever reason there’s not a file for the cabins in spring here

Mod deadass just didn’t give me the asset

[scarlet quail]

yep. what it looks like you gotta do is apply the global non-seasonal variant for anything not winter

two ways to do that

#1: delete most of the patch stuff, just have it patch assets/buildings/<cabin stuff here>.png

#2: Copy Log, Plank, and Stone Cabin assets into each seasonal folder except Winter (since there is a winter variant) and rename them <season>_<material>Cabin

(The assets to copy are in assets/buildings, if you're doing #2)

[urban rose]

Oh wow they are are in buildings that’s weird

[scarlet quail]

Nah, it's not weird

That's the static version

Cute Valley never made a seasonal asset for them - it stopped being updated at some point. But it did make a non-seasonal edit

That's what's in assets/buildings

The exception to this is the Winter Seasonal Variant

[urban rose]

Ok so basically I’ll just have the static versions year round except in winter?

[scarlet quail]

There is apparently a Winter seasonal for the Cute Valley thing, which honestly is probably nice

Correct

[urban rose]

Ok that’s ok I like pink

[scarlet quail]

The cabins will look the same in every season, but in winter probably will have stuff like snow on them or something

[urban rose]

I could theoretically make me own cabin recolor then and just stick it in here?

[scarlet quail]

I mean, yes

If you've got the art skills, you could do so. You probably couldn't publish it since it's based on Cute Valley assets and the mod assets are very restricted in use

But as a personal edit, yeah you're good to do that easy

[urban rose]

Yeah ofc I wouldn’t publish it

So if I paste it into those 3 seasonal folders should I delete it from the buildings folder or does it matter

[scarlet quail]

nah don't delete it from buildings

(Also remember after pasting to edit the titles of the images! Otherwise the changes won't take)

[urban rose]

Oh boy I hope it works this time

Woo it works! Thank you for your help

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.

frosty is the one who is my friend

nevermind hes gotta wait 10 minutes

[scarlet quail]

Generally, there are four usual mod managers used for Stardew.

• Vortex: Sucks. It might work, but in general 90% of the time a Vortex user comes in here it's a vortex problem.
• ModDrop: Right now probably unusable due to the SSL thing, but it's rare to see. I have no opinion on it personally, it also hasn't been a big problem here though so
• MO2: Way out of my knowledge base but apparently works... decently.
• Stardrop: Specifically designed for SDV, maintained by PeacefulEnd who is a very good modder. I still don't like mod managers, but this one's the best of em

[woven socket]

is this technical support for me or someone else?

[scarlet quail]

someone else

yours is still waiting on your friend who'll be 10 mins

[scarlet quail]

well, found the problem. The C# difference isn't the main issue, because one of you having content patcher is fine

The problem is your friend's SDV is pirated

[woven socket]

ok thank you

[scarlet quail]

(A little more specifically: Your friend's build does not match yours. For vanilla, that might be fine, but for modded that is very much not fine)

(Please have your friend get the game legitimately.)

[woven socket]

ive been trying to convince him to

he bitches about it then says its just 15 bucks

[scarlet quail]

Well, then you may not be able to play with your friend on it. It's kind of a hard technical line.

[fossil ice]

Anyone have an updated config file for the fast travel mod when using Stardew Valley Extended? https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1529?tab=description&BH=1 this mod specifically, or another fast travel mod that would work with SVE?

[woven socket]

hey can you convice my friend that pirating the game made by an indie dev means your a fucking loser

[kindred gorge]

I am broke

[neat plaza]

(are you the friend?)

[woven socket]

yes

[kindred gorge]

I can't

[scarlet quail]

It's highly unlikely I can convince your friend that. What I can say is that if their credit card is being declined, they should try another payment method and, you know, fix whatever issue is causing the credit card to be declined

Otherwise, I'd convince your friend that they shouldn't be trying to play modded SDV if they're not willing or not able to buy the actual game, and to wait until they can.

[mystic orbit]

asking about this topic again to hopefully get some advice
okay so previously flower valley and starblue valley worked harmoniously, starblue making the game nice and cooltoned and flower valley making everything look so lovely
but now it seems starblue's everything is loading on top of flower valley, leaving me with this, where I can see bits of vines on roofs and the outlines of the flower valley trees
my friend with the same mods I have is not having this problem
screenshot in front of dusty is my game, screenshot with shane is my friend's game which is doing everything right
here's my log https://smapi.io/log/b08e5b227575486ea9c4a61a026e0fbd

I will go take a frickin screenshot of the log you posted

[visual marten]

also @scarlet quail ik it was there, i deleted afterwards

Then you should run the game again, without Deluxe Journal, and give us the new log

once you attempt to join, at any rate

This includes checking to make sure your friend doesn't have Deluxe Journal

it's not there anymore

But that makes me think their log has stuff yours doesn't

[visual marten]

Mhmm

[scarlet quail]

And since this is multiplayer...

If Deluxe Journal is out on both, then IDK and I don't really help much with pirated copies as a personal thing, but I'd at least like to remove the possibility of the Deluxe Journal error since that's basically what it is throwing

i have the full log if people need them but ive cut it down to the bits that i dont know how to fix

im also having issues with tmxl, but smapi keeps leading me back to the version i downloaded

[scarlet quail]

Yeah Azael since Deluxe is gone now I have to assume it's your SDV copy

[visual marten]

:c

welp if i can't figure it out my self, i'll come back next month when i get paycheck so i can actually buy legit copy

[scarlet quail]

First, your log scares me. Second, they are not.

At the very least, without having to even check much, Fashion Sense DNE

[lament vortex]

you dont have flour's megapack either

[scarlet quail]

No Fashion Sense, no [DGA] Fashionable Mirrors

[slender pike]

no im saying that i have those

i have fashion sense and flours megapack

[scarlet quail]

you do not, according to your log

so there's two options

#1: You didn't unzip them

#2: Something's real screwed up with where you put them

So first: Screenshot your mod folder where Fashion Sense supposedly is

[slender pike]

hmm
does stardew valley have a thing where it cant read mods if theyre nested too deep?

[scarlet quail]

SDV? no

[lament vortex]

the underwater east scarp is not working anymore afaik, so you can delete that

[scarlet quail]

But operating systems? yes

I forget which one. I think Windows, but last time I tried to be an authority on it without checking Elizabeth corrected me and I felt like I was talking out of my ass

[dusty spruce]

yep, Windows.

[scarlet quail]

So until I backsearch, I'm just gonna say -

well there ya go

Unnest those mods

[dusty spruce]

it's a 260 characters path length limit, for whatever reason

[slender pike]

alright im gonna try unnesting first

im probably gonna have to unnest all my mods actually....
will having copies of the compressed files in the same folder affect mods (other than cluttering up my mods folder)?

[lament vortex]

yes, probably

if you want to have copies, keep them somewhere else, but not in your mods folder

[scarlet quail]

I mean, Kat

if you want me to be upfront, it's not that you have to unnest your mod folders

it's that your mods, as I saw in the trace, are keeping all their numbers and crap on the end of the folder names

I don't know what you're doing to cause that but it's definitely making the directory thing much longer

how do you unzip your mods, exactly?

[slender pike]

my computer settings make it so that when i automatically unzip a compressed file, itll keep all those numbers and crap to the end

[scarlet quail]

....Can you turn that off?

[slender pike]

but inside those numbered filles are properly nammed files

like take fashion sense for example
when i unzipped it, it was "fashion sense [string of numbers]" but then inside THAT folder its just "FashionSense"

and yeah i can figure out how to turn it off, but rn it would be quicker to just move the folders around

[lament vortex]

Hey, so my friend and I want to play SV with quite some mods - though for me everything works. I have a M2 MBA and he has a M1 MBA, but since we reloaded into the farm for him it’s buggy, he can’t see me, if he chops wood he can’t pick it up etc.

and that’s the one of my friend

@dusty spruce

[dusty spruce]

i fully expected a mod mismatch

i'd begin with getting rid of red text

SpriteMaster seems to be causing some trouble on both of your machines, or with this specific mod list

so unless you really need it, i'd ditch it

also "Never play NPC Adventures in multiplayer - It's not compatible! (Don't report this as bug)"

seems like you can also get rid of "Theft of the Winter Star", as it doesn't work correctly in multiplayer

[flat mural]

what about SVE? it seems to throw errors as well

[dusty spruce]

it looks fine, you just moved it around and kept an empty folder

[flat mural]

oh okay, but it seems to work right?

[dusty spruce]

yeah, seems to be fine

other than that i don't see anything in particular that would stand out to me

waait

nevermind

it's late and i can't read

thought these 2 were the same mod

[flat mural]

okay so since we’re only on D4 i think i’ll be reworking the mod list

i hope that fixes everything

Does anyone know about morris in stardew valley extended? I'm doing a community center route but I was wondering if i got his hearts high enough he would still come around like claire does. Because i know if you get claire past 6 hearts she'll come back to do aerobics with the other women in town. I was wondering if morris would also still come around after the community center is completeed

[scarlet quail]

Nope

Morris leaves post-CC in SVE no matter what

[hearty hazel]

that's a shame. i wonder if i can get a mod to keep him around

[scarlet quail]

I mean

there's stuff like Morris Redeemed/Marry Morris

depending on whether you want platonic (former) or romantic ends for him (latter)

[hearty hazel]

ill probably romance him on a seperate save when i do a joja route. but for this save i was just wanting to keep him around for platonic purposes

[scarlet quail]

Morris Redeemed's probably your best bet then

[lament vortex]

did you install smapi?

if yes, do you play through steam?

!launchoptions if yes, have you done this?

[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

[dense berry]

oh huh... i thought you only had to do that if you want to track achievements and such

[lament vortex]

You also need to do that if you want to launch SMAPI through Steam

If you're double clicking on a shortcut or something, and you don't care about Steam achievements, you can ignore that part I believe

I know lots of mods are currently getting warnings about using deprecated code, and that it practically doesn't matter for non-mod makers right now.

But - curious if there's a list of mods we know will or won't get updated? or if there's any way to tell at all beyond guessing based on maker activity and how old the mod is.

there's a trello of mods with deprecated code, and their status

https://community.scripture.software.sil.org/t/macos-ventura-cant-launch-build-terminal/3353/2
According to them, it’s a bug in MacOS Ventura not setting the quarantine flag properly for actions originating in bash scripts. The relevant part of the OS being triggered is the 'System Integrity Protection', which is documented here:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204899

Potential fixes:

• Right click on StardewModdingAPI or StardewValley Unix executable files in your game folder to open the game.

• Click the info icon, then click the file path displayed in the alert. This will take you to the folder with the SMAPI launcher, and you should be able to launch the game from there. This may not enable Steam connection, and it make make the game much more unstable.

• Install iTerm and set it to be your default Terminal. This is not optimal if you like using Terminal, but otherwise seems like a perfectly workable solution.

• Temporarily disable System Integrity Protection. This is not a great solution, because it leaves your computer vulnerable, and you should absolutely not leave your computer in this state." - @lament prairie (10 Jan 2023 @ 06:27:58 PM UTC)

For .rar and .7z, you need to install third-party software first, like 7-zip https://7-zip.org/ on Windows (get the x64 version), Keka https://keka.io/ on macOS, PeaZip https://peazip.github.io/ on Linux, or ZArchiver https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver on Android.

Ok so I feel like the answer is prob obvious, but modding on my Mac always gives me trouble compared to my desktop - anyways ~, SMAPI won't run any of the mods I have installed - it just reads it as zero mods and starts the game, even though I have my mods copied and pasted exactly to the folder where it says they should be

!log

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

[lament vortex]

and a screenshot of your mods folder with the file path visible

(betting the mods folder was created by them rather than auto-created by SMAPI)

Log Info: SMAPI 3.18.4 with SDV 1.5.6 (build 1.3.37.0) on macOS Unix 11.6.0, with 0 C# mods and 0 content packs.
Suggested fixes: You don't have the Error Handler mod installed, reinstall SMAPI to get it

[scarlet quail]

What is in /Users/kendalperkins/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS/Mods

(it is at least somewhat disconcerting that your SMAPI install doesn't even have the main three SMAPI mods, but we'll deal with that later)

[scarlet quail]

well, that explains a lot

you (somehow) have all aliases in that folder

those aren't the mods

[naive drum]

aren't those like...shortcuts??

none of those are real files

[scarlet quail]

Exactly!

I don't know how in the hell that happened, I'd have to ask someone who knows macs more than I do like Elizabeth

But even just from a basic standpoint of having programmed Nightbot commands on Twitch I know "Alias" meant "yeah this is pointing to something somewhere else"

And google confirmed it

In classic Mac OS System 7 and later, and in macOS, an alias is a small file that represents another object in a local, remote, or removable file system and provides a dynamic link to it; the target object may be moved or renamed, and the alias will still link to it.

from my extremely limited knowledge it'd be comparable to... what, a symlink?

Which isn't the mods themselves

Regardless IDK how the heck you installed your mods but those need to be file folders, not aliases

or folders or w/e mac calls them

[runic atlas]

[scarlet quail]

The thing that gets me more about it is that the main SMAPI mods are alias'd too

Like... that makes me think there's some automatic process aliasing it and then I have to go

[naive drum]

searched up how to find the originals, you go to the “File” menu with the alias selected, then choose “Show Original”

[scarlet quail]

https://tenor.com/view/geralt-math-geralt-equation-geralt-math-equation-gif-18302240

[naive drum]

or rightclick and select "show original", or select the alias and press command + R

[runic atlas]

I did that and then it said the original file cant be found 😭

[naive drum]

uhhh what

you'll probably have to reinstall SMAPI and maybe even redownload your mods to get the originals then

[lament vortex]

the plot thickens

[scarlet quail]

(I'll stop with the GIFs but this is rapidly escalating to "what fresh hell is this")

I'd ask Elizabeth but she's likely busy and probably isn't someone we should just ping whenever we have Mac problems

But this is... very much out of my depth XD

[naive drum]

yeah i had to google how to find the originals

[scarlet quail]

Just to confirm, Mockingbyrd, you're not using a mod manager are you?

like if they're something like symlinks my sanity has to guess Vortex or something

[runic atlas]

No I'm not using any sort of manager

[naive drum]

We are back to being baffled as to how that happened then

[scarlet quail]

Yep then I give up and I hope someone who knows mac more than me can help you figure out how the heck your computer is automatically aliasing folders, including the base SMAPI mods on install

[naive drum]

assuming it's automatic and not a very strange mistake

[scarlet quail]

I mean I have to assume it's not their fault because like.... the install script wouldn't do that, right?

[runic atlas]

well thanks for trying , I'm glad to know at least I wasn't just being stupid

[naive drum]

it would not

and yeah you have a Very Strange problem

[dire fractal]

hi I need help is there any mod that can give me kids in game, I tried doing everything I have all max hearts and talk to them everyday, Please is there any way I can get kids instantly. Thank you.

[radiant valve]

I mean, you need to date and marry someone first lol

[dire fractal]

yeah I know

I’m married

[radiant valve]

Hmm well idk about the vanilla kids way but planned parenthood has a feature that lets you choose

Hold on lemme

[dire fractal]

okay take your time!

[radiant valve]

Do you have the nursery (second house upgrade?)

[dire fractal]

Yes

[radiant valve]

Spouse at 10 hearts?

[scarlet quail]

how long has it been since you've married?

(Also, likely irrelevant, but who's the spouse?)

[dire fractal]

29 days

[dire fractal]

Leah

[dire fractal]

Yes

[radiant valve]

Wiki says theres a 5% chance theyll ask you for a kid

[scarlet quail]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Leah definitely should be normal kid-request wise

Although tbh she also was definitely the least-asking spouse of mine

(second and fourteenth child, for reference)

[dire fractal]

oh

[scarlet quail]

so not sure if it's just a lot of RNG failure there

[radiant valve]

5% is not a lot

Planned parenthood ups the chances though iirc

[dire fractal]

I have planned parenthood

and nothing has worked

I’m kinda wondering if planned parenthood is outdated or smth

[radiant valve]

Well u should get a "have a baby" option when sleeping then

It still works

[dire fractal]

I haven’t got that

I slept multiple times

[radiant valve]

Wait comments said it doesnt anymore

Oh no

[dire fractal]

any other mods?

[radiant valve]

I know Free Love lets you change the perctange of the baby question

But that also allows for multiple spouses so idk if u want that

[dire fractal]

how do I do that?

[radiant valve]

Free Love is a mod
