[idle glen]

on the desktop screen

[olive basalt]

New>Folder

[idle glen]

Find the "New" and select the folder option

[urban dock]

[idle glen]

That'll make a new folder on your desktop

Yes, open it and paste in what you copied

[urban dock]

done

u are making this very easy and i appreciate your patience so much😭

[idle glen]

No problem!

What's your desktop by the way?

Mac, Windows, or?

[urban dock]

windows

[idle glen]

Run the one that has the windows in its name

The one that ends in ".bat"

Double click it

[urban dock]

i pressed install on windows was that wrong😭

[idle glen]

Click more info

No, no, it's alright

[urban dock]

okay good there

[idle glen]

It does that

[olive basalt]

windows is over cautious, it's ok

[idle glen]

There should be an option to run now with the More info clicked

[urban dock]

windows needs to sit tf down

[idle glen]

real 😂

[urban dock]

wait wait

[idle glen]

?

[idle glen]

Yep

[urban dock]

1 or 2

[olive basalt]

1

[idle glen]

1

Just type 1

[urban dock]

now the next is install or uninstall and im guessing install

[olive basalt]

yes

[idle glen]

Yep!

[urban dock]

i don't have to delete all the mods i already installed right

[idle glen]

Nope!

Now you can go to your Stardew valley folder

[urban dock]

i downloaded them on nexus and i was told it's not good

[idle glen]

There should be a new stardew .exe file

[olive basalt]

nah sorry i misunderstood you

[idle glen]

With SMAPI in its name

[olive basalt]

downloaded from nexus is fine

[idle glen]

No, Vortex is bad. Nexus is alright.

[olive basalt]

yeah that

[urban dock]

screw vortex then‼️‼️

[idle glen]

Vortex = Mod Installer for Nexus.
Nexus = Platform for Mods

[idle glen]

on god

[urban dock]

Okay

OMG*

[idle glen]

You can go ahead and try to run it now

[urban dock]

how did that autocorrect to okay

[dire fractal]

Just woke up to this glorious encounter, gg on all parts

[urban dock]

will it automatically run the mods i have installed? do i have to choose?

[idle glen]

StardewModdingAPI.exe right?

It will automatically use all the mods that work

[idle glen]

Within the Mods folder

[urban dock]

the one that would show up stardewmoddingapi

[idle glen]

That one, the StardewModdingAPI

Right below the one with .dll and the same name

It broke

Vortex broke I think

idk 😂

[urban dock]

i didn't use vortex

[idle glen]

Damn

[olive basalt]

omg

[idle glen]

Guess it was just something wrong with your installation

[urban dock]

i downloaded smapi and didn't unzip

[idle glen]

Ahh

[urban dock]

then i downloaded nexus and downloaded eveyrthing there

[idle glen]

Yeah

[urban dock]

assuming my launcher was working

[olive basalt]

can you make the window bigger and show all of what's in your stardew folder please

[urban dock]

yes

[idle glen]

Have you ran it yet?

[urban dock]

just to be clear the one im hovering will open the mods that i installed right?

[idle glen]

Yep!

[urban dock]

how does it know which ones i want

😭😭

[idle glen]

It automatically uses ALL that's in the Mods folder.

Assuming they're all compatible and work

[rose star]

You both need to slow down and halt for a moment

[idle glen]

coolio

[dire fractal]

naps recommended

[urban dock]

it opens this and closes like immediately now im more don't confused

does that mean they aren't compatible

cuz i only downloaded the ones it said it needed

[idle glen]

What are your mods?

🤔

[urban dock]

here

im trying to get stardew valley expanded

[harsh lantern]

Are mods recommended for first time players? like are there any must have mods?

[rose star]

Ask in #modded-stardew

[idle glen]

The folder is usually named Mods with a capital m i don't know if that's the same for everyone

[rose star]

This is for troubleshooting help

[idle glen]

Might be a silly reason 😂

[urban dock]

how do i make it capital😭💀

[idle glen]

Nvm

When you downloaded the ones required for Stardew Valley Expanded, did you download the ones required for those

[urban dock]

i believe so i can go back and check through again

[idle glen]

SMAPI
Content Patcher
Extra Map Layers
Custom NPC Exclusions
Spacecore
Json Assets
Expanded Preconditions Utility
Farm Type Manager
SAAT - Audio API And Toolkit
Shop Tile Framework

hmmm

[urban dock]

yes

i have those

[idle glen]

Did you try this?

https://github.com/FlashShifter/StardewValleyExpanded/wiki/Install-guide

Might be a silly fix but can you try to rename the folder to Mods

[urban dock]

wait do i need a preexisting workd

world

[idle glen]

No, I don't think so

In fact, SVE requires a new world to function

It'll likely just break on a pre-existing world I think

[olive basalt]

did you get smapi from nexus or from https://smapi.io/?

[urban dock]

it says "BadImageFormatException"

[urban dock]

from smapi

[idle glen]

That may be a DLL error I think

[urban dock]

what's dll

[idle glen]

Dynamic link library

[urban dock]

dumb it down

💀😭

[idle glen]

Did you capitalize the Mods

[urban dock]

yes

[idle glen]

Did you open the StardewModdingAPI without any periods?

[urban dock]

i opened the one with the chicken as it's image

[idle glen]

Can you show me the top of the folder

[urban dock]

idk what u mean so i'll send u a pic of my whole screen

[idle glen]

Yeah cool

[urban dock]

no making fun of my games

[idle glen]

Scroll to the top

ss again

[rose star]

Is there a particular reason you aren't launching through steam?

[idle glen]

Oh yeah

[urban dock]

because i had no idea u could

now that's a whole new opening.. how do i do that

ermmm hello

[near terrace]

!launchoptions

[native dragon]

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

[near terrace]

there ya go! Just follow the instructions in the guide and you'll be good to launch smapi from steam

[urban dock]

thank you oml hopefully this works wish me luck

[idle glen]

Good luck!

I've only ever tried smapi in my folder

[urban dock]

pause im already confused

[idle glen]

Can I help you out?

[urban dock]

what's the smapi launcher file

is that the new folder i made

or is it the original unzipped one

[idle glen]

The exe

[rose star]

halt. both of you. now

[urban dock]

why

[rose star]

ok. so...

[urban dock]

oh

continue

[rose star]

1. open steam
2. go to Stardew Valley in your library
3. to the left you will see Stardew Valley among your steam game list.
4. RIGHT click on Stardew Valley in that list (name will be white)
5. go to Properties and LEFT click
6. you will see a category called LAUNCH OPTIONS with a box underneath it
7. copy and paste this into that box:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

let me know when you have completed those steps

[idle glen]

hey noice

Does this stuff happen often mipha?

[rose star]

it can. why?

[idle glen]

no reason

[urban dock]

it is so funny that i have to type that all individually bc im using mobile for discord

[idle glen]

reaaal

[urban dock]

[rose star]

apologies.

go back into properties and put a space between Program and Files

[urban dock]

for what ur trying to help i prolly did smth wrong ur okay

okay thank you

same thing

[rose star]

and another between Files and (

no that was on me. not you

[urban dock]

😭 i did it all and still the same thing

[gaunt gust]

edgzs, your issue is somewhere in the packaged net with the game

start with uninstalling and reinstalling everything

actually, start with a nap.

[urban dock]

i have school in an hour

i cannot nap😭

[idle glen]

👀

[urban dock]

thank you for ur concern tho

[gaunt gust]

Quill (not the mod), your issue is with whatever screen recorder you're using, disable that.

[rose star]

then rest and ping me when youve had time to cool down after school. I'll make sure you have someone to walk you through fixing it

[idle glen]

you're a genius how do you know all this 😲

[rose star]

because usually only the experienced people help in here.

[urban dock]

patience and about 5 hours of time is appreciated 😭

i will try i'll be back on around 2 am cali time

[rose star]

thats very early in the morning, I cannot guarantee someone will be quickly available to help

but we can try

[urban dock]

thank you idk i can try to stay up after school

[rose star]

no, rest comes before gaming.,

come back when youre rested and we'll get you settled ok

[urban dock]

thank you

[royal anvil]

medal??

I am not using any screen recorder

[gaunt gust]

yup. It's medal

[royal anvil]

oh my lord that makes sense I suppose 🤦

thanks sm!

now I hope it won't crash my game again

[rose star]

hey atra. when that other one comes back, after the full uninstall and reinstall, anything else I can do to walk them through it that comes to mind?

[gaunt gust]

make sure they're not on compat mode, make sure their computer can run the net 5 runtime at all

being on the legacy branch will cause that, or installing hte wrong version of SMAPI (but that's not likely)

more or less the most common cause is "some runtime file borked"

[rose star]

got it. ty

[royal anvil]

omg it worked you guys are amazing!

[dire fractal]

what could cause the game to crash on a file that uses a custom farm specifically in summer, fall and winter? it works just fine in spring

[gaunt gust]

The farm accidentally bundled in vanilla spritesheets

one thing I do when I look at new maps is I check for bundled vanilla spritesheets for exactly this reason

[dire fractal]

is it relatively easily fixable?

[pine schooner]

Hiya. I downloaded the Adopt and Skin mod to be able to have more animals, but it seems to have deleted my current cat. Is there a way to have the current pet and adopt more?

never mind I found the little monster

[hot pike]

Hi! i just downloaded the better chests mod (by LeFauxMatt) and i am having trouble accesing the config of the chests, cause the config option isnt showing up when i open a chest. I did look in the config file in the mod folder, and it says its enabled. Any one know what to do?

[worthy moth]

Do you have Generic Mod Config Menu installed?

Also can you please share a log

!log

[worthy moth]

Everything there looks good. When you open a chest, do you see the icon to open settings at all?

[hot pike]

Nope, not at all, it looks like this

[worthy moth]

That is strange, can you send your config.json here?

[hot pike]

just link the file or?

[worthy moth]

Either works fine

[hot pike]

yessir, one sec

[worthy moth]

I'm kind of stumped because everything looks correct to me, and everything is loading except for that button. As an alternative to the config button, you can also pick up the chest and use the hotkey.

[hot pike]

The hotkey isnt working either

[worthy moth]

OH wait, I just realized your log doesn't show Generic Mod Config Menu as being installed

[hot pike]

im pretty sure i installed it

lemme have a look

would it have an effect that i used vortex to install the mod?

[worthy moth]

It would be listed in your logs under Installed Mods if it was installed correctly. Vortex may have installed it wrong, it's been known to have issues like that

!modmanagerbugs

[native dragon]

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

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

[hot pike]

Imma try installing it manually, brb

[inland oyster]

I do hate vortex ngl

[hot pike]

It just makes life so much easier, haha

[inland oyster]

I would suggest stardrop

[hot pike]

I tried installing it manually, no config button, and now the search bar dissapeard, i do not know what i am doing wrong 😭

[worthy moth]

First, start by sharing your log again. That'll help.

[inland oyster]

yeah

[worthy moth]

It shoudl be here

[hot pike]

hmm wierd, can you tell me how to install it, cause i dont know what im doing wrong then

[inland oyster]

did you extract it

[worthy moth]

To install a mod manually, you need to unzip it into the Mods folder

[hot pike]

Did what you told me, and the mod still doesent show up

[inland oyster]

did you restart the game?

yess

[inland oyster]

also the vortex could have a different mods folder

[worthy moth]

!findmodsfolder

[native dragon]

Your Mods folder should be in your game folder after you install SMAPI. See here for more information on finding it: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Find_your_game_folder
If you use Steam, you can also right click on the game name > Manage > Browse Local Files.

[inland oyster]

bc stardrop has a different mod folder inside your mods folder

[worthy moth]

Oh, and this may be relevant

!vortex

[native dragon]

Using Vortex Mod Manager with Stardew Valley has the risk of your mods not getting installed properly, and other issues. Consider using Stardrop, a mod manager that was purpose built for SDV, instead!

[hot pike]

Ive been installing both manually and with vortex in the same folder, and theyve all been working, but ill look at it, one sec

[inland oyster]

I love this command lol

[worthy moth]

I don't remember the commands so trying to look up what might be relevant

But yeah, according to your logs, Generic Mod Config Menu is still not in your Mods folder

Mods go here: c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods

[hot pike]

yessir, exactly where im installing it

[inland oyster]

hmm that is strange

[worthy moth]

Can you take a screenshot of that folder and share it here?

[hot pike]

yes one sec, i cant get my SS button to work, so youll get it old school

[worthy moth]

Generic Mod Config Menu is not one of the fodlers there, that's the problem

[inland oyster]

yeah

[worthy moth]

The Mods folder should only contain Mods/[Mod]

No files

[hot pike]

but its not showing up as a folder when i download it tho, its only the file that gets extracted when i download it

omg im dumb, gimme me a minute

[worthy moth]

Try downloading it manually

[hot pike]

its working

finally, thank you both so much!

[worthy moth]

[inland oyster]

its amod

it helps with connection and maybe could help with your situation

[dire fractal]

i just think its strange ive never had this happen

[inland oyster]

it could just be a glitch

[dire fractal]

i reopened the game twice

[inland oyster]

@inland oyster it worked

[inland oyster]

havent updated anything since earlier today and it was running just fine? not sure if there was smthn updated automatically idk how it works w smapi hehe

[mint ocean]

what's the diff between vortex, smappi, and cursed forge mods?

[neat plaza]

I..

cf is a distributor

smapi is a mod loader

don't use cf

vortex is a mod manager

this are all different and not comparable

[mint ocean]

gotcha gotcha so for smapi all I need is nexus and i copy/paste the mods into the folder?

[jolly warren]

heck yea

install smapi -> run smapi to generate mod folder -> dl mods into wherever u want and then unzip into the mod folder (its in steam data so i find it easier to pin the mod folder straight to desktop for an easier time transferring)

[mint ocean]

I believe I've followed just those steps and it's not loading the mods. A lot of errors in the smapi pop up box.

nexus is gr8 bc it shows u mod dependencies as well

@neat plaza any chance u saw my error here? 🥹 i cant work it out

[worthy moth]

Do you have a GPU?

[jolly warren]

mhm

its the 4th line thats causing the issue right? and again w the saat.api

[worthy moth]

It doesn't seem to be detecting your hardware, and the game won't load if it can't detect an audio hardware. From your logs:
Game.Initialize() caught exception initializing XACT: Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio.NoAudioHardwareException

I've had that issue before, but only when I tried launching SDV on a VM

Maybe try disabling SAAT and seeing if the game loads without it

You can temporarily disable a mod by renaming the folder to have a . at the beginning

[jolly warren]

i was cleaning my pc earlier but idk what i couldve done 😓 i'll plug my audio mixer back in and see if it helps. thank you!!

understood!

ngl its kinda looking like a mess :( i would recommend reinstalling smapi and maybe even reinstalling mods, from the screenshot you sent you have zipped folders in the mod folder, multiple copies of the same mod, and other a lot of other stuff

hahahaha it is a mess i know

this is literally the first thing I've ever modded

[jolly warren]

i am pleb i kno

all the errors tell you the mods you are missing, so you know which ones to download manually

i prolly got 3 copies of the same mods in diff folders haha

nooo ur all good. its a pain but i would recommend like fauxmatt said just redoing stuff manually rather than vortex. its easier to keep track and cleaner. takes a lil while but its worth it !! 😁

[mint ocean]

so just delete everything and go into nexus and manually download all of these mods into a "mods" folder that smapi creates?

[worn marsh]

yes!

and their dependencies (required mods)

you can start with installing a couple and trying to run the game to see if you did it correctly

[jolly warren]

fixed! thanks so much, and though it wasnt for me thanks for bringing up stardrop w the vortext command i didnt even know sdv had a mod manager available!! gonna look into that :)

[mint ocean]

thx i am grateful lol hoping to get back into the swing of thigns

[jolly warren]

good luck n happy modding :3

[mint ocean]

do yall suggest smapi by itself or within nexus

[neat plaza]

wdym "within nexus"?

[worn marsh]

smapi is a program. nexus is a website

[worthy moth]

It's the same SMAPI either way. Downloading from Nexus gets the creator some download points, so that might be more beneficial for him

[worn marsh]

either is fine

they're the same

[mint ocean]

ok i will do nexus tysm ❤️

[worthy moth]

Actually does he have DP enabled, I can't tell

Oh, yeah he does. So technically downloading from Nexus gives Pathos a bit of support.

[mint ocean]

ok i will support for sure

[summer prism]

how do i fix this

[worn marsh]

Did you use Vortex to install those mods by any chance? And are you on a Windows or Apple computer?

[summer prism]

i think i did but i uninstalled vortex. and im on windows 10

[worn marsh]

Okay, you'll need to reinstall the mods. That used to be an error with Vortex. Try installing some manually or 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/

Howdy! I've never had an issue with the Toshinori mod until a few months ago. It's worked perfectly fine before, but now there's an issue with the dialogue for when you give him a bouqet for some reason. (As far as I know, I've never tampered with the files or anything.)

[worn marsh]

probably report it to the mod author

[verbal kernel]

I put it in the bug reports. They're not currently super active

[jovial whale]

does anyone know how to fix the flickering bushes/fences on grandpa’s farm with daisy niko’s earthy recolor? i’m sure i saw a fix somewhere but can’t seem to find it

[dire fractal]

Why is my smapi not opening through steam even when i copy the path??

[worn marsh]

I think you could fix it by editing the Toshinori NPC\[CP] Toshinori NPC\i18n\default.json file and adding a new line that says "6617.y2flowersA": "new text here",

It seems like the intended line is "?! *cough* *hack*$u#$b# I'm sorry for that... I-I... I feel as though I'm in a dream.#$b#But... I'm happy that it isn't!$h" according to the i18n file, but they called it "flowersA" instead of "6617.y2flowersA"

[mint ocean]

Hey! So within my SDV game file folders I should have all the mods zipped and unzipped files and I am good?

*after they're all extracted

[worn marsh]

you dont need the zipped files there but yeah

feel free to send a second screenshot

[mint ocean]

i downloaded all the mods I've used in the past and smapi created the "MODS" folder so I redownloaded all of them and it pasted in all the zipped files and I am unzipping them now... so afterwards I can delete the zipped files?

[worn marsh]

yes, you can delete the zipped files afterward. Doesnt matter if they're there or not, but it might be easier for organization to delete them or move them somewhere else

[mint ocean]

perfect! thx I appreciate the assistance

[trail sentinel]

Hello! Just joined because I am a few issues with my mods. I fixed the one I was running into earlier and after about one full (in game) day of play, when I went to sleep on the second my game crashed again. Running on a MacBook Air, 74 mods or something, I have the smapi log parser up but I can’t read it so I’m not sure how to fix this other issue. Pls help lol

[worn marsh]

please send the log so we can read it

[pine zephyr]

why do I get random black screen I need to alt tab every time and its like random atm its like eveyry 5 seconds sometimes its none like what mod could cause this ?

I'm in multiplayer and also its has if I did have a reshade in game even tho I dont have the mod

black screen as in I can move I can hear my game and everything I just cant see anything

[inland iron]

Hello everyone. I want to start by saying I am really new to modding my game and extremely new to discord. I read through the rules but if I do anything wrong I apologize! All that said, I recently downloaded a mod called Daily Planner by the mod creator @shy comet. In the mod description they mention it is okay to "@" them in the stardew server with any questions or issues. My question is how can I fix the overlay only popping up in the lower right corner? I messed with the X and Y coordinates a few times but that doesnt seem to change anything at all. I feel it is probably something silly I am doing!

[verbal kernel]

I'll try that out, thank you!

[shy comet]

Oh hi that's me

Can you share with me a screenshot?

@inland iron I'm not sure what's the issue but I might be able to tell if I see a picture of the problem

[inland iron]

yes one sec let me just pop into my game. Thank you so much for responding!!

[shy comet]

It should be in the top left so I don't know why it's in the lower right

I haven't booted up stardew in a while so hopefully it isn't already broken by an update or something

[inland iron]

I hope this helps! @shy comet

[shy comet]

Yep that's definitely not where it's supposed to be. Do you have mod config menu installed as well?

[inland iron]

I have the generic mod config menu installed and here are the current settings although I have played around with the X and Y coords to see if that made a change.

[shy comet]

Those last two should be zero if you want it in the top left corner, although I think you need to reboot the game if you edit the config with a text file rather than the generic mod config menu

Try setting "OverlayXBufferPercent" and "OverlayYBufferPercent" to 0 and see what happens

If changing those numbers doesn't do anything then something weird happened, or something's different about your system that I'm not aware of

[verbal kernel]

That worked, thank you so much! <333

[inland iron]

Awe I changed it and it didn't work! no worries though at all. I really appreciate your help and I will keep working on it 🙂

[shy comet]

When I get a break from work I'll boot up the game again and see if something broke since I last worked on this

It should just put the top-left corner of the menu in coordinate (0,0) which should be the top-left of your screen, if that's not working then I might have to figure out if there's a better way

Did it literally not move at all?

[inland iron]

Hi that's is correct it did not move at all

I have over 350 mods installed so I would not be surprised if something is conflicting maybe

[shy comet]

Yeah that might be the case, you got some extra stuff on your screen so maybe another mod is giving it the wrong information about where (0,0) is on your screen

[wary scroll]

I installed it to see if it happened on my screen. But it seems correct. Right in the top left corner as it should be. But then again I only run my own mods or ones I use all the time.

[shy comet]

Interesting. Mod conflict seems likely, then. Hard to tell what it's conflicting with, though.

[pine zephyr]

Can anyone help me regarding my issue u can just scroll a bit

[tiny ginkgo]

So I've got a modpack/challenge I've been working on for over a year and one of my most recent additions is the No Built in Kitchen; https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/12120
The thing is that the kitchen furniture pieces are sent in a mail and I wish to not have them sent but that the player has to buy it themselves. Not sure how to possibly change it as I can't find anything in the mod files and was wondering if anyone here might have an idea?

[opaque galleon]

Hi, if someone could help me it would be much appreciated because I just can’t seem to figure out what the problem is. I’m playing on steam deck and when I sleep sometimes it just crashes. I was wondering if anyone might know what these errors mean. I know I’m using an absurd amount of mods, so there might be something conflicting idk. I might just delete them all and re-mod the whole game. Here’s the smapi error log- https://smapi.io/log/8a42b78ca8b24fa1bfc0d2505177a9d9
I just deleted the bear bfav dupe so ignore that one, its been happening since before that was a thing. Its the XmlException that keeps happening every time it crashed.

[worn marsh]

it's because the kitchen furniture pieces are coming from the companion mod

edit them there and you can add a shop entry

[tiny ginkgo]

Already got that mod installed. Still get the mail though after the house upgrade with furniture pieces

Or do you mean that it's somewhere in there I can remove the mail?

[worn marsh]

no like, that's where the data for the mail is in the files. It's in the MFM folder

yeah, and you can add a new shop entry in the DGA folder files if you want

You can probably just delete the entire MFM folder and it'll remove the mail without doing anything else

[tiny ginkgo]

I'm going to have to look into that then and see if I can figure it out. thanks for pointing me to where I might be able to find the fix. ❤️

[tiny ginkgo]

Found the mail and edited so that the people who play the modpack/challenge alongside me know where they can get the counters/cooker. Thank you so much for the help with figuring it out! ❤️

Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here? Even if your game doesn't show any errors, logs are useful, and often necessary, for troubleshooting.

[cyan elm]

sorry for troubling, so there is no possible way of playing stardew valley with mods on an IOS phone? right..?

[modern python]

correct

only android (and even that is a bit janky) or pc

[cyan elm]

sometimes i regret having an ios

[dire fractal]

I need help

[scarlet quail]

Yes, we're capable of seeing you need help, but we have few details

Also, is this a mod you've coded or a mod you've downloaded

[dire fractal]

I downloaded it

Its the mobile multiplayer mod

[modern python]

well

[scarlet quail]

Ah in that case I'm unable to help

Aside from Android SMAPI being jank as Vin said

Multiplayer is not supported on Android

and I'm not an expert on mobile even if mobile SMAPI wasn't jank

[proven pewter]

(ios requires apps to be pre-packaged in a way that prevents them from being altered by SMAPI and mods, so it is not and never will be possible to mod on ios.)

[scarlet quail]

so you'll have to wait with someone with mobile experience can come in and troubleshoot :S

[dire fractal]

Ok

[long brook]

folks on my country server tested mobile multiplayer mod and it was buggy af

if you really wanna play mp, try get console or pc version

[dire fractal]

If I get an auto-petter through a mod then will it disappear or will something happen to my save after deleting the mod?

[long brook]

it will stay

https://smapi.io/log/ebb4777601b143d78f139ebe69e1f0e3 I logged on today and 49 of my mods stopped working, i havent deleted anything that i know of, it was working yesterday

[scarlet quail]

....how do you load your mods livvy

[worn marsh]

vortex screwed up your mods

[scarlet quail]

i.e. do you manually install, or-

yeah that's the Vortex issue hence why I was asking

[worn marsh]

you'll have to manually install them, or switch to using stardrop mod loader

honestly at this point I feel like I should put a vortex PSA in all of my mod descriptions lol

[stone burrow]

ive manually download the whole time with my best friend

[tawdry ingot]

her and i have downloaded just about all of her mods on facetime together manually, im her friend.

[worn marsh]

hmmm

[tawdry ingot]

she doesnt even have vortex downloaded

[worn marsh]

Okay so if you go to one of the folders it says doesnt have a manifest.json, do you see a file called manifest.json?

[stone burrow]

do i have to go thu all the folders and see witch one dosent have a manifest file

[worn marsh]

Just open one of them, for example [CP] Ellie's Ideal Greenhouse

[stone burrow]

all i have in that one is assets, references, config

[worn marsh]

see, only a mod loader or some other computer-side program can do that

maybe lyoko will know more

is it possible you installed vortex like years ago?

[lament vortex]

antivirus, maybe? its not unheard of that they quarantine perfectly safe files

[tawdry ingot]

she did but she ended up completely wiping her pc , redownloading windows the whole bit to mod with me bc she fkd up her steam files

[worn marsh]

got it

[tawdry ingot]

but shes been playing with all these mods for a few days now and then this happened

i suppose more than a week now, even co op no problems till this

she doesnt have an anti virus program on her pc either we just looked

well other than the baseline windows one

[worn marsh]

can you search for the files in the recycling bin or something? unfortunately my only solution is just... reinstall the mods. but that wont stop it from happening again

like if it was Smapi not seeing a file that was there, it's one thing, but the files being completely gone is something else entirely

[stone burrow]

i looked in the recycling the manifest files arent there

[rose star]

Awesome! There's a few people around here who should be able to help.

^ can someone walk edgzs through a full Uninstall and reinstall of everything, make sure they aren't in compat mode, and that they can run net 5. This is what Atra said needed to be done this morning for troubleshooting. Ty!

[urban dock]

[rose star]

Just be patient and someone should be by soon.

[urban dock]

Thank you!!

[urban dock]

someone pls i've never been patient this long

😭

[robust bison]

I can't seem to find that error you posted in your log; can you run the game again and upload a new one when it shows up?

[urban dock]

im really confused wym the log 🥲 im sorry im confused about all this and just need help getting my mods to work properly but they won't load and i can't even use stardew valley normally now

the link you uploaded earlier

[urban dock]

i don't think i ever uploaded a link did i

i sent a lot of pictures though

[robust bison]

you did

[urban dock]

i don't know how a single thing works on pc lol

[robust bison]

oh wait you didn't

oops my bad

[worn marsh]

atra said start by uninstalling and reinstalling everything and making sure they're not on compat branch, but i dont have experience with compat shenanigans

[modern python]

its not that complicated

its literally just navigating to a drop down and clicking the branch to use

[robust bison]

edgzs, please follow the instruction in the link I posted and upload your log

[urban dock]

okay

i don't have a windows button 😭

[modern python]

i dont see the point of doing a log rn honestly

[urban dock]

it says FN where the windows button usually is

i don't know about anything im just going to do whatever u guys say will fix it

because i cannot break it anymore then i have

[modern python]

do you have the game on steam?

[urban dock]

yes

[modern python]

right click the game in steam and go to manage, then uninstall

then once thats done install the game again

[urban dock]

It's downloading i'll lyk when it's done

it's done

[modern python]

ok right click the game again, click properties, then betas. if it isnt already, set it to none

[urban dock]

it is

[modern python]

ok, so if you hit play does the regular game launch?

[urban dock]

It does now. It didn't before

[modern python]

yay! progress!

[urban dock]

thank you

[modern python]

ok so beyond the game not launching.. what else were you trying to do? was this the first time you were trying to set up mods?

[urban dock]

Yes. im trying to add the mod with like a bunch of extra locations and npcs.. i forgot the name. Stardew Valley Expansion? something like that

[modern python]

right

!gettingstarted so this is the general modding guide, focus on setting up smapi itself first and then you can get into adding things like expanded

[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

[modern python]

you can ask here if you have any specific questions or issues with the process

[urban dock]

well i do already have a few mods downloaded, at first i didn't have the launcher but i had smapi downloaded, i got the launcher and it wouldn't load. so the mods are in, i have smapi and nexus. i just don't know how to load them because it says error

but i'll check that out

[worn marsh]

you have to download smapi (make sure it's from nexus mods), then you have to install it

you should repeat those steps to make sure it was done correctly

after that, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley and click on StardewModdingAPI.exe to launch the SMAPI version of the game to make sure you can play it, even without any mods

[urban dock]

wait so i download it from nexus

so do i have to uninstall what i already have

im sorry i have not a single clue what i'm doing🥲

[modern python]

it doesnt matter whether you get smapi from nexus or smapi.io

just as long as youve downloaded it, then installed it

[worn marsh]

i just want to make sure they didnt grab some old version from a random other websit

you dont need to uninstall whatever is there

just run the installer again and it'll either install files or update what is there

[urban dock]

i just searched smapi and pressed the first link😭

[modern python]

what was the first link then

[urban dock]

smapi.ik

io*

[modern python]

thats fine then

[worn marsh]

yeah thats fine

[urban dock]

okay and then what's the difference between downloading and installing

because i pressed download and that's all i did

[worn marsh]

download downloads the file, but you have to click the file inside the download for it to make changes to your game

thats what installing means

[modern python]

downloading is like.. having a new tv arrive at your house. and then installing is like setting the tv up on your wall

you cant use smapi without installing it first

[urban dock]

someone else told me yesterday to move the files and then select them and put them in my mods folder i did that

is that what u mean

[worn marsh]

no, smapi has a specific method

[modern python]

well, thats what you do to install mods. but thats not how smapi is installed

[worn marsh]

this is what is inside the smapi download. you need to extract the files by selecting all of them and clicking and dragging them to a different folder (anywhere, the desktop is fine)

[urban dock]

ooo i remember that step i did that

[worn marsh]

yes

[urban dock]

they are right here

[worn marsh]

ok good

[modern python]

do the installation process again to make sure everything is where it should be

[worn marsh]

since it's there already, click the windows.bat file and install it again

[urban dock]

erm

[worn marsh]

yeah thats it

[modern python]

install on windows

click that

[worn marsh]

mine looks a tad bit different, I forgot

[urban dock]

"Where do you want to add or remove SMAPI"

[worn marsh]

add

oh

it should find the default location

[modern python]

it should automatically pop up with your steam location

[modern python]

ok now copy that second line of green text

then close the window

[urban dock]

done

[worn marsh]

k now do this

[urban dock]

how to i "go to" that

Ohhh

i press those files that was a weird read

[modern python]

so does a black window with white text come up when you open that?

[urban dock]

this one or the one above it

[modern python]

one above

with the pufferchick icon

[urban dock]

yes omg

it's saying a lot of words

[modern python]

yay!

[urban dock]

omg it's still going...

IT OPENED

[modern python]

you dont have to read it all lol

[worn marsh]

that means its working, dont click on it

[urban dock]

WHAT

how do i know if it worked omg

[modern python]

ok you can close the game now if you want to

[worn marsh]

maybe it installed weirdly the first time, but this is a good sign

yeah it worked

if you see the game it worked

[urban dock]

i am flipping out

[worn marsh]

hahaha

[modern python]

go to stardew on steam, right click, then properties, and paste that text you copied earlier into the "launch options" field. now you can press the play button on steam to automatically launch smapi

[urban dock]

And if i want to play normally how do i fix that (i will never want to play normally i have my xbox for that)

😭😭

[modern python]

you can simply remove the launch options and press play

and then paste back for modded

[urban dock]

omg omg omg ong

you guys are so awesome

So it looks like the normal stardew but when i load in it'll be the modded version?

[modern python]

as long as the black window appears, that means its modded

[worn marsh]

now you can start to download mods from nexus and install them by extracting them to the Stardew Valley/Mods folder, following the wiki instructions

[modern python]

(make sure to grab all required frameworks and such for the mods you want as well!)

[urban dock]

should i replace all my current ones with the same ones to make sure it works or since they are already installed since before they will be fine?

[worn marsh]

I think since you had errors before, you should delete anything that is already in the Mods folder (reinstall them), except Error Handler, ConsoleCommands, and SaveBackup

[urban dock]

installing the mods was so tedious this'll be fun😭

[worn marsh]

it'll be worth it if it works properly

[modern python]

it gets easier with practice!

[urban dock]

im doing a test but how will ik if it works should i check my npc thing, will there be more?

[modern python]

if theres red text in the black window (which is called the console btw), that means something has gone wrong. if theres no red text, that means everything should be working as intended

(yellow text is typically fine also)

[urban dock]

i think it was all the same color without red or yellow

THERES MORE PEOPLE

[worn marsh]

then it's all fine, and you can test more by playing around in the game to see if any red text shows up

[urban dock]

omg omg omg omg omg

[worn marsh]

Looks like SVE installed correctly!

[urban dock]

i've never been more excited

[modern python]

congrats and happy modding to ya

[urban dock]

thank you guys so so so much

[worn marsh]

I shouldve gone to bed an hour ago lol

anyways if any other errors happen, that's when you come back here

[urban dock]

Okay

[rose star]

Thank you both for helping. Glad things worked out!

On Linux stardrop steam deck I double click run starship but says “no usable version of libssl was found”. Idk how can make stardrop work since all says on description to run and view>setting but cant make it pass that issue. Is there alternatives for mod managers?? I have mods working but I want some manager or organizer for the mods.

[brittle prawn]

Hey there. I have a modded version of stardew. The mods are some that I was advised to use last time I was in this server. My stardew valley currently isnt loading and I suspect that it may mean the mods need updating, but I've forgotten how to do it. Would anyone be able to help me out please?

Yeah I downloaded the latest version of SMAPI but no idea how to put it in my stardew valley folder correctly to run it and update my CJB. So any help would be greatly appreciated please

[old arch]

There's a Smapi Installer exe in the Smapi folder. Run it, follow the instructions to install (That'll update it)

Then go to the CJB Nexus mods page, download the CJB file. Extract it into your mods folder (replace the existing file)

[brittle prawn]

@old arch i tried that. it asked me to find a file called Stardew Valley.dll

my game folder doesnt have a file called that

[old arch]

What's the exact wording?

[brittle prawn]

Type the file path to the game directory (the one containing 'Stardew Valley.dll'), then press enter

[old arch]

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Stardew Valley.dll

Try that

[brittle prawn]

I literally have that folder open right now and there is no file in there called that

It might be hidden by default

alright ill try

Thank you!

[brittle prawn]

i'm obviously doing something wrong, keeps telling that directory doesnt exist

[robust bison]

your game folder is looking very sparse

[brittle prawn]

i havent altered it, thats exactly how its been

[robust bison]

can you try reinstalling sdv first then installing smapi again

[brittle prawn]

yeah I just came to that conclusion myself

i'll try

thank you for the help guys 🙂

ah ha! apparently what I did was uninstall SV previously but the folder with the mods and stuff remained

so just delete that and I can reinstall

I'm the nexus website, what exactly am I looking for? I tried searching for CJB, and that didnt give me anything

[tulip comet]

is it this one? https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4

[brittle prawn]

thank you!

[tulip comet]

were u on nexusmods.com/stardewvalley?

[brittle prawn]

yeah

there were a lot of mods

lol

i think i got it downloaded and installed so lets see if I did it right

yes! the game loaded!

[tulip comet]

nice!

yeah it's common for me that the actual mod is at the bottom of the search results, while translations and add ons float to the top

did smapi run?

you saw a command line/terminal open?

[brittle prawn]

yes it did

[tulip comet]

I'm having some issues opening the Book that you get with the CreatureBook mod - this is to work with the Creepy Cats mod. The original keybind does not work to open the book and neither does one that I reassign in the GMCM. Any one had the same issue and how can it be fixed?

hello im a newbie to modding and i installed the mod medieval building but its giving me this error i dont know how to fix this i need help

yep. gimme a mo, I'll read it real quick

[crisp latch]

tysmm

[near terrace]

hm

did you edit the medieval buildings file?

if not all I can suggest is delete medieval buildings and install it afresh

[crisp latch]

no i didnt i havent touch it

i only just copy and pasted it on the mod folder

i guess i should reinstall right?

[near terrace]

do a fresh install is my only advice, and make sure you have the latest version

[crisp latch]

okay ill try that thank u

[wet stream]

Hello - I have multiple saves on my PC that I still play. Two are regular SV with mods, one is a SV Expanded save. I downloaded SVE without using a mod manager. I believe I can just move the SVE files out when I want to play my other saves, but if I delete the SVE mod files then redownload them with a manager, will my SVE save be okay?

[long brook]

As long as you reinstall SVE correctly, the SVE save should be safe. Also whatbmod manager you're trying to use?

[near terrace]

I hope it's not vortex...

I'd recommend stardrop for SDV modding

[wet stream]

I haven't used a manager yet, I was looking into it to find the easiest option to essentially turn SVE on and off

[near terrace]

stardrop works for that, yeah

or just put a . in front of the sve folder name, that'll do the same thing as disabling it

[wet stream]

Awesome, thank you!

[crisp latch]

@near terrace it works now tysm i have a question regarding the mod stradew valley expanded do i have to dl all this links here to play it?

[modern python]

those are mods requiring the one youre looking at, not mods that are required to play the mod.

[remote ivy]

Also a newby to modding, tried googling, but nothing was coming up. I play on MacOS if that means anything to this, idk 😭

[near terrace]

Those are optional
The ones in the section right above that are the hard requirements

[crisp latch]

ohhh okay okay i thought i have to dl this files to have the npcs there and stuff all i see on my map as new npc is susan i think was it ;w;

[near terrace]

Nah

[remote ivy]

Nevermind, I figured it out, I found the faulty mod

[past gust]

I wonder what caused it, it was working as intented yesterday.

The skipped mods.

[modern python]

looks like you installed an extra copy of Farm Type Manager (is it because Reimagined listed it as a requirement? if you downloaded a framework for one mod, you dont need to download it again for another)

[past gust]

Diversity still went through kinda at least the seasonal outfits.

[past gust]

Yeah i think so didn't know i had an extra copy.

[modern python]

go find the extra one and delete it so you just have one

[dire fractal]

is the ui info suite updated or something? i checked and i havent seen any updates :/

[past gust]

It worked thanks a lot! The only one that didn't work was eht bathroom one but i'm assuming it is outdated

[modern python]

!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.

[versed thorn]

So i like the snow overlay in VPR and im using Starblue so how can i take the snow overlay from VPR to Starblue? Ive been looking at the content.json for a few minutes now

[dire fractal]

just reinstalled and it worked, super weird but ty vinilla!

new issue, what is this?

[modern python]

something that should be reported to dsv (either on the nexus page or on their discord server) i think

[dire fractal]

is modding stardew on android still functionable?

[scarlet quail]

!androidsmapi

[native dragon]

Android SMAPI does not currently work for SDV 1.5.6.61. We do not know if or when it will be made compatible.

Mod support for 1.5 on Android is still experimental, so many mods are broken or buggy. That's often something SMAPI needs to fix, and we may not be able to provide a solution.

If you find a mod bug on Android, first make sure that:
a) you have the latest SMAPI version from https://github.com/ZaneYork/SMAPI-Android-Installer/releases;
b) you have the latest mod version(s) or have the last-known Android-compatible version;
c) and the mod author hasn't already addressed it on the mod page (e.g. via an Android-specific version or comments).

If all of those are true, feel free to ask for help in #archived-modded-support with your full SMAPI log: https://smapi.io/log.

Once SMAPI on Android is more stable, updated instructions will be posted here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Android.

reading through it i think it might be customFurniture but i have no idea what or why

also idek if im reading it right

[worn marsh]

you can basically add or remove any mod at any time, even to unmodded files, theres just a few things that have special conditions or very certain mods that can crash a game if you remove it

but for the most part, its not a worry

always good to check the mod description for disclaimers tho

[worn marsh]

unfortunately custom furniture is rather buggy these days and my recommendation would be to remove it entirely

[grand remnant]

aww alright

thank you!

if you like furniture, you can look for DGA and AT packs

you should delete it and reinstall it

do i just go into my mods and delete the file or is there more to it? I apologise for my ignorance.... complete noob to modding ANYTHING lol

[visual jetty]

You can just delete the whole tractor mod folder and then reinstall it. You could also just move the assets folder. Whatever's easier for you.

...reading comprehension. Yeah - go into your mod folder, delete, redownload mod, put the newly downloaded mod back in your folder.

[fierce arch]

gotcha. i deleted it. ill try reinstalling now. thanks!

[shrewd fog]

Hi all, new modder here dying to play SVE. I have a pretty good Macbook, but for some reason SVE gives it these random lag spikes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything.
I definitely noticed it happens at heavy foot traffic times, but it also happens completely randomly. I tested it by making a new character and loading it over and over again. In 10 trials, 4 had the stutter immediately leaving the home on Spring 1st. So 60% of my loads were fine, but it always shows up eventually, and I have to finish the day in annoyance, reload and it's usually good for a while. Some days it doesn't happen.
Really not sure whats happening, but I've tried so many suggestions online, like limiting monsters, the sprite mod, playing with resolution and vsync. It also shows Stardew uses 50%+ cpu at times.

AMD Radeon Pro 5600M 8 GB

[worn marsh]

theres also a different performance mod called fastload you can try (incompatible with spritemaster). it specifically deals with NPC schedules and pathfinding

you'll also want to check your smapi log to make sure its not hanging on any errors or something like that

[stark horizon]

Can you try installing Profiler then play your game until you experience that freezing and then post a new log? Profiler can help narrow down what might be causing the problem.

[snow spear]

sure thing, im assuming thats on vortex?

[modern python]

uh

!vortex

[native dragon]

Using Vortex Mod Manager with Stardew Valley has the risk of your mods not getting installed properly, and other issues. Consider using Stardrop, a mod manager that was purpose built for SDV, instead!

[stark horizon]

Nexus. No vortex. Vortex is bad. And that could be what's causing your issue

[modern python]

nexus is fine, but vortex is not

[snow spear]

oh dang lol ive never had issue with vortex lol i didnt even consider that

[stark horizon]

Vortex is very hard to troubleshoot.

[snow spear]

ok well let me see, one second

[dire fractal]

So if I uninstall smapi? Will it delete all the mods itself?I still had the some mod items in my inventory

Will it affect my save?

[stark horizon]

It depends on the mods.

[dire fractal]

I had fashion sense

That's it

And some reshaders

[worthy moth]

What will affect your save is if you launch the vanilla game and then go to bed

But as long as you don't go to bed, you can always reinstall mods, relaunch your modded game, and continue as if nothing has changed

[dire fractal]

Oooh

[worthy moth]

You can even go back and forth, just make sure you only launch a non-modded save from StardewValley.exe and modded saves from StardewModdingApi.exe

[dire fractal]

So is there a problem even if it's only reshade packs?

I don't use expanded or diff farm design mods

[worthy moth]

Yeah that won't matter. Reshades/textures can come and go without any side-effects

[stark horizon]

!uninstallmods

[native dragon]

If you want to uninstall mods, please see this guide: https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Uninstalling_Mods You can also look at the mod description to see if the author has any tips.

[worthy moth]

It's only when you change the map or add items/NPCs that things can go haywire

[dire fractal]

Okayyy thanks

[dire fractal]

So content patcher mods are safe

Phew

[worthy moth]

Well Content Patcher can add NPCs and map locations, so it just depends on what the mod does

[dire fractal]

Yeah I just had fashion sense and some reshaders

Lol

[dire fractal]

Also how do you get clothes that are just content patcher not fashion sense ? After pasting them in the mod folder

I can't seem to find how to change them

[worthy moth]

Content Patcher clothes usually replace something in vanilla

[dire fractal]

[worthy moth]

Alternative Texture mods are the safer to add since they let you have a variety of textures without adding new items to the game

[dire fractal]

Excuse me I am not sure that this is where I post this, but I figured where better than the modding channel.
