Y'all I love you

[warm jasper]

Okay, I'm pretty confused about the mod downloading. so the SMAPI is the folder for mod downloads??

[languid trout]

No, Smapi makes the folder named Mods, and acts as a console to troubleshoot and debug and catalogue the mods being run.

[obsidian cradle]

Steamdew Mod doesnt fix the issue

[languid trout]

What issue? in technical chat there seems to be an outage on mp.

[loud willow]

GOG, which apparently hosts the servers. is currently down, and best guess is that's what's causing it

!log

[native dragon]

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.

im just trying to figure which one broke it and when but i cant read logs or understand it fully to save my life

[dire fractal]

do fence gates work in the gap here? (Grandpa's Farm)

also is there a mod that can tell me remaining/completed heart events? especially appreciated if it works with SVE too

[languid trout]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8505

[dire fractal]

thanks a lot

[languid trout]

Works with everything, not just SVE.

[languid trout]

Alright so four things so far.

!pytk

[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

[languid trout]

!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. It is highly configurable and you can choose which options to enable.

[languid trout]

@remote falcon There's no crash log here, what exactly happened?

What do you mean it won't let you load past the loading screen?

Does it white screen, say not responding?

[remote falcon]

upon starting a new game after making a charcter and watching the intro the app no longer responds

or upon loading a save file itll show the loading tab in the bottom left but then not respond again

and ive sat for 10 minutes waiting just to see

[languid trout]

Okay, use either Fast Loads, or Spritemaster, not both.
That's normal for games with a lot of assets and npcs.

NPC scheduling is a resource bottleneck. You have to be patient-but Fast Loads and Spritemaster both optimize NPC pathing and schedules.

You also need to either reinstall ModUpdater or get rid of it-that's part of why the load took a bit.

It experienced a loop.

But if it doesn't outright crash, don't touch the game. If it crashes, you'll know. It's basically front-loading everything.

[stark horizon]

ModUpdater is broken

[languid trout]

Oh, well, there you go.
I don't use it, but I could tell it was not happy with the game or this log 😅

[remote falcon]

hahaha

does the gog thing somehow make phantom dogs appear..? (been trying to fix the CP cooking recipes i made wrong and disabled most of my mods.. but noticed just now a DSV error when it's not currently installed :/)

i could also be misunderstanding the msg. ofc.

[languid trout]

(That's not the only mod it's calling upon Yri and applesauce mods, too. Yri's recolor is understandable, though, especially if you were using the recolor on that save.)

@mild talon
Well, the game is being honest about it not working.

Sorta...

[modern python]

Includes dont get the applied tic iirc

[remote falcon]

she loads up fine now i appreciate the all the help

[languid trout]

(Following the process because I don't understand why it's not working either.)

[mild talon]

hm maybe it should be Load? IDEK.

[stark horizon]

Dumb question, but don't you need a load for an include to work?

[mild talon]

no.. they r like sisters (IDRK lol)

[stark horizon]

Ok...stepping back into the shadows.

[mild talon]

but there's a section about Include vs Load in cp docs iirc

[languid trout]

I...wanna say yes because instinct tells me yes.

But I don't wanna screw up the process for Ch0op

[mild talon]

there's no process

[mild talon]

those r from the smapi config.. that one i get. it's the DSV Marigold i do not understand

[stark horizon]

The Marigold portrait path is going straight into the game's content folder

[languid trout]

You got two tics that shouldn't be there is the hint we're working with, which makes it feel like it should be different and I'm going to crack open CP's github real quick.

[mild talon]

(IDT i follow tbh, Chirps)

[mild talon]

it's diff from a warning msg about content removal by EH, i think.. rt? I did have DSV and plenty other mods on this save previously. Got all the "ignored/removed content" already. this msg is just weird looking to me haha

[stark horizon]

It can't load the portrait because the game is being instructed to find it in the game's content folders. So I wonder if there is something odd with how Marigold is pathed?

[modern python]

isnt that just.. how all CP stuff works?

like, game looks for content in the content folder. CP tricks the game into thinking mod files are in the content folder and the game grabs them none the wiser. if the game cant find the mod files that CP is supposed to be giving to it, it gets sad

[stark horizon]

Yes, okay, so I am mangling things.

[mild talon]

Marigold isn't a vanilla npc tho

[modern python]

i know, but that process is the same for anything that is loaded into content by CP

[stark horizon]

So, I might be onto something regarding the path being wonky, even if I'm waayyy off base about the whys.

[modern python]

yeah i cant answer as to why its trying to look for marigold without dsv. but its not because of file paths at the very least, i think

sorry if i came off blunt there but im just trying to be informative

[mild talon]

(is Marigold a CC ? w SiD and CP + DSV)

[mild talon]

u r fine in my book

[stark horizon]

You weren't being blunt, Vin, you were correcting a sorely misinformed Logo

[modern python]

pat pat

[inland oyster]

[stark horizon]

Question: Marigold isn't even on your mod list. Is this error something that should have been caught by the new error handler functions within SMAPI, i.e. if Choop removed DSV/Marigold, instead of getting the "warning" it instead would have "forgotten" the asset?

I'm probably borking that up sideways, too.

[rough cosmos]

hey so me and my friends are trying to do modded stardew valley and when someone makes a farm there is no way for anyone to join, there is no invite code nor can you invite or join the person through steam. does anyone know a fix, i can send the list of mods as well, DMS ARE OPEN

[modern python]

!servers

[native dragon]

On PC Stardew Valley uses GOG servers, https://www.gog.com/ More info about GOG here. So if these servers go down, then multiplayer on PC will go down in its entirety on PC. Even if you have the Steam version it still uses GOG servers. A good indication that they are down is if you see a spike on the Down Detector site https://downdetector.com/status/gog-com/

[stark horizon]

GOG servers are down.

[languid trout]

Oh boy I think I figured it out but I don't know where to apply it in the process.

[rough cosmos]

oh alright thank you i did not know this LOL

[inland oyster]

(Would steamdew solve it?)

[stark horizon]

No

[modern python]

probably not

[rough cosmos]

do we know know when they will be up and if this has happened in the past what was the average time its been down for till it gets back up

[inland oyster]

Damn

[stark horizon]

GOG servers going down is like shutting off the whole internet

[modern python]

this is not a common occurrence at all so we have no idea on the ETA

[stark horizon]

We don't have any data on that, sorry. Not even CA has any control over the GOG/Steam servers.

[robust bison]

last time it happened it was resolved within 24 hours

[proud burrow]

You can create new profiles as described in the documentation: https://floogen.gitbook.io/stardrop/guides/using-stardrop/creating-a-profile. Then, you switch between them by selecting the profile in the drop-down menu left of the manage profiles button. Also, you can watch the tutorial by Mango explaining how to use Stardrop Mod Manager (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61O59SFVuGw).

[exotic belfry]

there's no options for invite codes anymore? i restarted everything. odd thing is person who i was going to play with also doesn't have the option to use invite codes, so we tried just vanilla, no mods (bc we thought mods might've been the issue), and still nothing, and they also restarted everything. we also tried straight IP connections and still is showing connection errors? never had this many issues or those buttons disappear and just hoping nothing broke lol ty all
(i just seen the issue with gog servers, ripperino)

[mild talon]

Nah this was basically my q too! Why was it looking for something that had been disabled?
Since it's just for Marigold I feel like maybe it could be something w/ SiD, but it's a mystery 🤷‍♀️

[pallid summit]

you have some missing dependencies for the mods you're trying to use:

17:23:47    ERROR    SMAPI          - (CKM) Looking for Love Kiss Fixes 1.0.0 because it requires mods which aren't installed (Digus.CustomKissingMod).

17:23:47    ERROR    SMAPI          - Sailor Styles 4.6.0 because it needs the 'Json Assets' mod, which couldn't be loaded.```

[alpine juniper]

okay but how can I fix it, for the first time I'm playing with mods

[pallid summit]

oh, you just have to download and install the dependencies. i assume you got your mods from nexus?

[alpine juniper]

yes I found that mods on website

[pallid summit]

ok. so when you install a dependency for a mod, you also have to check whether the dependency has dependencies (in this case, i imagine you wanted sailor styles, so you installed json assets. but json assets itself has a dependency: spacecore)

[alpine juniper]

hmm

[pallid summit]

(smapi has provided the link to spacecore in the error message: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1348. not so lucky for the others, but nexus has a handy search function)

you'll also need to download Custom Kissing, Event Repeater, and Custom Companions to resolve the errors above. and if those have any dependencies you haven't installed, you'll need those too

i'm sorry that it can be pretty tedious the first time you install a bunch of mods. it gets easier over time, since the major dependencies are widely used and you don't need to redownload them when you add other mods that depend on them

[alpine juniper]

so I have to search those dependencies on Nexus website and when I find it, I have to download them and put it the mods file again, am I correct?

[pallid summit]

yes. find the missing mods, download them, unzip to your mods folder like the others

[alpine juniper]

okay thank you so much 🙂

[pallid summit]

any time

[loud willow]

these ones

[pallid summit]

ok. and just to make sure, you are on windows using the steam or gog version of the game, right? (gamepass should use the xbox app instructions)

[dire fractal]

right, sorry. still pretty new to discord; errorlogs isnt there, just saves, default_options and startup_preferences

[pallid summit]

ok. in that case, i recommend just reinstalling SMAPI and trying again

[dire fractal]

will do

Hayo! I recently got a new computer and I'm setting up Stardew and the mods I like using. However, Smapi is giving me some issues; it's repeating some lines of text infinitely, which makes it impossible to type in the console. Can anyone shed some insight on this?

[pallid summit]

those lines (HookApp::) aren't in your smapi log, so whatever that is, i'm guessing it has attached to and is spamming your terminal, and SMAPI isn't involved

some kind of aftermarket graphics modifier, i imagine? based on lines like hookD3d9 and OverlayConnector

[sharp plover]

Hmmmmm...... No idea where to even start, then x_x

[dusk lagoon]

I have 2 mods that give retextures for the cat, some have the same texture number, can I change them so I can use them both?

[pallid summit]

are you using some kind of stream overlay? cursory google tells me it might be that

[pallid summit]

if they're both CP mods, you could convert them to AT

[dusk lagoon]

they are both AT mods - but each have a "texture_01", etc for the cat and so I'm only getting one of them

[proven pewter]

AT uses the content pack id as well, they shouldn't overlap

[sharp plover]

I'm wondering if it's Medal or GeForce, those are the two top contenders I think

[dusk lagoon]

I think I got it now, there was a file missing!

It WAS Medal! Thank you for the nudge in the right direction!

Oops, couldn't parse that file. Make sure you share a valid SMAPI log.

I don't have the mod installed

[dusty spruce]

if you don't have the mod installed, then ofc you won't be able to play with your friends

[languid trout]

(Also follow the instructions whenever you use it, don't just copy paste the text error.)

[tacit cargo]

I had it installed in the first day and the game still crashed and I unistalled it thinking it was some problem with the mod :/

[languid trout]

(The log is infinitely more useful to us. But yes, everyone needs the exact same mods to play multi-player modded without issues.)

(Or, rather, with as few issues as possible.)

[tacit cargo]

Ok I will install the mod again and try to see if it works. Thank you!

[inland oyster]

Remember you need the exact same mods most of the time

[pine schooner]

Hiya valley people. I need some help. On the help wanted board Krobus asked for 6 x popsicles, but when I try and give them to him he just says thanks, and only 1 disappears from my inventory.

Not sure what popsicles he is after......

actually no I think he might have sent me a letter, but I can't find it

[proven pewter]

if it's a special order you need to put them in a dropbox, not give them to him directly

[pine schooner]

ah of course, I didn't think of that, thank you!

[viral saffron]

Hi all! I'm new here (and new to SDV, too). If this isn't the right place to ask my questions, please redirect me!

I recently bought SDV on Android, but quickly discovered the Android SMAPI compatibility issues.

I see the bot announcement about Android SMAPI. I haven't been able to find an APK for SDV 1.5.6.39 though. (I wish old versions were available on the Play Store for people who've bought the game.)

The most recent SMAPI-compatible version I've found is SDV 1.4.5.151, which I have working with SMAPI 3.7.6.10.

Which wouldn't bother me, except it makes it even harder to figure out which version of a mod ought to be compatible with my setup. I found a couple of partial lists, but they're missing a lot of the mods I'm most interested in.

Figuring out mod compatibility by trial and error is a pain - especially since some mod incompatibilities (e.g. with Vibrant Pastoral Recolor) break the game so badly I have to uninstall and reinstall SDV, SMAPI and SMAPI-SDV to get the game to work again.

Should I keep trying to find an APK for SDV 1.5.6.39?

Should I just keep slogging through trying to figure out which mods are compatible with my current setup?

What do you think?

[pine schooner]

so there is no dropbox anywhere in the sewers .....

[proven pewter]

I would just keep trying. Android has some differences from desktop that can make it difficult to predict which mods will or won't work
the best way to find out is try them. most that aren't compatible will just crash when the game launches and you can easily identify and remove them

there are some exceptions where you have to use specific, older versions of some mods

[viral saffron]

Yeah, like Content Patcher - I figured out 1.19.0 is the most recent version that works with my SMAPI version. And mods that depend on Content Patcher seem to need specific versions of it

[dusty spruce]

i honestly feel like it's best to just give up on modding on Android altogether for the time being

[viral saffron]

I just bought SDV for the first time, on Android so I can play it on my phone. I wasn't going to buy because I don't really like its color scheme, but then I saw it could be modded to have other color schemes...

I'm not ready to give up yet

[dusty spruce]

well, you're in for a miserable experience

[viral saffron]

Noted. Anyone else?

[languid trout]

As much as I want to be optimistic and encouraging, that's one rabbit hole no one wants to delve down, and the person that works on Android Smapi has been MIA for a while. We do have a compatibility list somewhere in the command list, but that’s the best I can do for you

[neat plaza]

!androidcompat

[native dragon]

An incomplete list of android compatible mods can be found at https://android.stardew.rocks. If you find a mod that isn't on there, submit it by following the instructions here.

[dusty spruce]

the compat list we have is for 1.5

which they can't find an APK for

[viral saffron]

Shockah is correct

[neat plaza]

wait why can't you just download it from the store

did they retract 1.5?

[dusty spruce]

because that's a newer version?

and that doesn't work with SMAPI for Android

[viral saffron]

I downloaded the most recent version from the Play Store. That's all I can download from there

It doesn't provide older versions.

[neat plaza]

oh right .6.51

[dusty spruce]

don't get me wrong, it's not that i don't want to help

the situation is THAT bad

and even if you get the right 1.5 APK, half of the mods just don't work

(although Content Patcher mostly should)

[viral saffron]

Content Patcher and mods that use it cover a lot of what I want to mod

[dusty spruce]

the person that was working on the Android version of SMAPI has not been seen since... July i believe

and all the devs that actually understand the problems of the port are waiting to see if 1.6 changes anything to make it easier

[languid trout]

(If even Shockah's miracles don't touch that arid valley of death I'm just baggage in your ear giving you encouragements...)

[viral saffron]

I appreciate both Shockah's straight-talk and your encouragements, Chirps 🙂

Why is it so hard to find an APK for SDV 1.5.6.39? I'm afraid to even ask people for it, because I saw reddit threads where people got sh*t on for asking even though they'd already paid for the game

[dusty spruce]

it's considered piracy, yes

[viral saffron]

even if you bought the game?

[languid trout]

(The bigger issue is the distribution and trade, not whether you own a legitimate copy. It directs more traffic their way.)

[dusty spruce]

technically you bought the license to use the piece of software, which only grants you permission to use whatever you have installed and/or the latest version...

[viral saffron]

I don't quite understand what you mean, Chirps. But frankly I'd pay a second time to get 1.5.6.39

But that's not an option

Anyway my opinion isn't going to change any of that.

I totally get that devs need to get paid, of course. I'm a dev myself.

[languid trout]

(Search engine algorithms direct more people to the more popular sites, basically. Even clicking the link and not downloading it makes it more likely to show up for actual pirates. Hence why it's heavily discouraged aside from the developer needs the money.)

SpriteMaster (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4922) is a mod that resamples the game's graphics to be smoother and improves performance. It is highly configurable and you can choose which options to enable.

[languid trout]

(The resampling can be turned off on that mod, but from what I can tell it’s just npc schedules bottlenecking resources and updating)

[bright dock]

Okay sweet thank you!

My computer is pretty beefy, does this type of lag still happen regardless of how good the pc is? Also, is SpriteMaster multiplayer compatible

I have an i9-13900k CPU which should be plenty of beef for stardew

[modern python]

the main spec when it comes to modding is RAM

[worthy moth]

SpriteMaster is kind of great for anyone to add just because it makes the game smoother. Like I have a Beefy PC too, but I'll still add it just because. If it causes issues then remove it, but no harm in trying.

[languid trout]

The issue is npc scheduling is a bit wonky and taxing on ram. Do you have the dedicated graphics card set for the game?

[bright dock]

i'm not sure but I have rtx 4070 ti and 32gb of DDR5 or 6 ram i forget

Hi! I downloaded the latest version of smapi but now it’s giving me a weird error code. It was working just fine before until now. I was following the tutorial and I replaced the files that were from the previous SMAPI update. I think I may have updated it wrong. This is what the code looks like:

[robust bison]

did you run the installer to install the new version?

[vapid finch]

I tried but it says the file is corrupt?

[robust bison]

can you try downloading the latest version again, extracting, running, and then send a screenshot if it happens again?

[vapid finch]

It’s still doing it:(

[worthy moth]

That looks like it's when you're trying to launch SMAPI. Does it say it successfully installed when you run the installer?

Also does the vanilla game launch just fine

[vapid finch]

I think I figured it out. It looks like my windows was trying to protect the files bc it was blocking smapi from running.

[worthy moth]

Ah yes, Windows Defender sometimes messes up the installation

[viral sky]

if the host of a multiplayer game had the expanded mod installed would it appear for the other players?

[modern python]

no, everyone would have to install sve on their own games

[viral sky]

alr thx

[patent ridge]

I usually zip my mods folder and send to my co-play to make sure everything match

[short idol]

I've been trying to get the latest SMAPI to work on my Windows 10 PC, and so far every time I try to open it, it would close. The Stardew Valley wiki says that I should take a screenshot of the error message and have it posted here. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

[proven pewter]

why are you using powershell??

just double-click the batch file

also is that an official version of SMAPI? that name looks wonky

[compact verge]

Yar, that's how the zip file is named on Nexus.

[proven pewter]

aaah weird

anyways yeah, you don't need to run it from command line or anything, just extract the installer zip and double-click the install on windows.bat file

[livid blaze]

Could I get some help? I keep putting a modded file into a folder I made in SMAPI, but I keep getting the message that the mods can’t be added to the game because it is an empty folder

[robust bison]

!unzip

[native dragon]

Files with the extension .zip, .rar, or .7z are archive files, which you can extract to get the actual files inside. For a .zip file, just right-click (or long-press on Android) it and choose the option like extract or uncompress. 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.

[stark horizon]

Hey hey! Congrats on the new role, Arcane!

[robust bison]

Thanks!

[livid blaze]

When I try to extract the file, I get this error message

I have 7-zip installed

[robust bison]

try redownloading it first

[livid blaze]

That worked! I had the wrong type selected

Sorry, I’m very new to modding anything. Thanks for your help!

[robust bison]

no worries

[livid blaze]

Now it telling me it won’t load because it’s not a SMAPI mod…

XNB mods often break the game and are not recommended. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods for more info (and a list of Content Patcher alternatives), and https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files to fix problems caused by XNB mods. For mod creators, see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Editing_XNB_files for help unpacking & editing them (including for use with Content Patcher). https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/156109690059751424/575085766426886145/ZolasFury.png

[languid trout]

Is this the only mod you want?
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1915
See if there's a Content Patcher (CP) version.

[livid blaze]

There was!

Testing it rn

It says it requires mods which aren’t installed

[languid trout]

Did you make sure to download CP first and add it to your folder?

[livid blaze]

But they’re in the mods folder?

[languid trout]

Show me your Mods folder.

[robust bison]

you don't have content patcher installed

[livid blaze]

Ah ok

I’ll install it right away

[languid trout]

.

(I sent this for a reason 😅 Mods usually require frameworks to well, work)

[livid blaze]

And I just put the content patcher zip folder in the mods folder?

[languid trout]

It's preferred if you extract the mod there, and keep your ZIP in the downloads.

(Sorry, multitasking)

[compact verge]

(To be fair, the Anthro mod page doesn't actually list Content Patcher as a requirement, so I can understand the confusion.)

[livid blaze]

It worked!

Oop sorry caps lock

Thank yall so much, I would have been stuck here forever without y’all’s help

[languid trout]

There you go!
So in this case it was special because it was a 2017 mod that was updated later to have CP

!oldmods

[native dragon]

In general, you can figure out whether a mod is (most likely) to work with the current version of Stardew Valley based on its update date. This is not a guarantee things will work or not work, but is accurate for most mods.

• 2016: Do not install (meant for incredibly early versions of Stardew)
• 2017: Do not install (meant for pre-multiplayer Stardew)
• 2018: Unlikely to work. If a Content Patcher mod, it might work, but in general it is not likely the mod will work.
• 2019: Content Patcher mods can be tried from here fairly easily. C# mods should still be mostly avoided.
• 2020: Content Patcher mods should work, but may be buggy. C# mods may work, but due to the 1.5 update there may be conflicts.
• 2021+: Should be usable.

[languid trout]

(General rule of thumb when you see last updated to work with, but always check required mods before downloading and read the mod description!)

[dire fractal]

How do I use custom spouses mod?

[robust bison]

which mod are you talking about specifically? custom spouse patio？

[green wedge]

Me and my friend have a little bit of a problem. When i load a game it stops working -eventually it loads and everything its okey- but when she trys to enter its stop working when she have to customize her farmer. She appears in the bed, but nothing more...

!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. It is highly configurable and you can choose which options to enable.

[green wedge]

sure! thanks a lot c:

[languid trout]

(If you don't like the sampling effect, you can turn it off in the config and it will still run normally)

[green wedge]

i dont know what sampling means, but i will keep it in mind c: i will come back with more problems or a thank you messenge tomorrow 😛 ❤️

[languid trout]

oh! The sampling is the "hd" effect that makes the game look like a flash cartoon from the early 2000s. Let us know if you need anything else.

"smoothing"

[valid raft]

hi i recently just started to mod stardew (i am still new to stardew as a whole) and me and my girlfriend were playing on a world together, we have the exact same mods downloaded, same versions of the mods, and we can load into the game perfectly fine, i can go up to the mines, etc. but as soon as i try to leave the farm via going to the bus stop into town, i get a black screen where SMAPI spits out hundreds of lines of error codes to where i have no idea what the true problem is because there is too many error lines to figure it out, anyone able to help me?

[unreal urchin]

@stray spire is there a way to revalidate all weapons in the game? I updated when I probably shouldn't have and I have a few swords sitting in chests that are greyed out. Is there a way for me to fix this? I'm pretty sure this is related to the combat module. If it's not (or if I've just been so stupid that I'm beyond help) then I'm sorry to have bothered you.

[proven pewter]

I did have a similar problem though

I put my blade of ruin in a chest before the update and now I have two blades of ruin and can't get rid of one

[unreal urchin]

I can't get rid of either

[proven pewter]

I mean I can;t either but I'd like to keep one of them

[unreal urchin]

there's a revalidate weapon command that I tried but it only works on the weapon you're holding

there's code to revalidate all weapons but I can't figure out how to trigger it.

[proven pewter]

looks like you're missing an npc mod

are you 100% absolutely sure you are using the exact same mods

[valid raft]

yes

[proven pewter]

and you aren't using vortex

[valid raft]

idk what vortex is

[gaunt gust]

remove Random NPCs

[stray spire]

Yeah, literally type mrg revalidate in the console

[gaunt gust]

that does not work in multiplayer

[valid raft]

isnt that a required mod for market day mod?

[languid trout]

(You need to reinstall Smapi regardless)

[proven pewter]

oh relly, it doesn't? huh.

[gaunt gust]

if you did not intentionally install Random NPCs it's in the Market Day folder.

no

oh ok

lemme try real quick and i will get back to yall

market day has integration but I don't believe it's required

thank you all in advance btw

usually im pretty good at fixing mods but this stumped me

thanks that seems obvious in retrospect.

is that the antisocial npc one or custom npc exlcusions?

or both

[stray spire]

If that doesn't work you can try cmbt refresh on each individual weapon

[valid raft]

gotcha

[stray spire]

And if that doesn't work then make an issue on GitHub

[unreal urchin]

It's actually saying that mrg revalidate is an unknown command

[stray spire]

Do help and you should be able to find it
I may have changed the entry command

Should be mrg though on the latest version

[valid raft]

OMG IT WORKED

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH

i got so scared we lost all our progress, we just got to winter for our first world ever

[unreal urchin]

I'm on 4.2.2 and when I do the help command I see cmbt, pnds, prfs, tols, twx, and txs as prefixes

I don't see the mrg or core modules

[stray spire]

Hold that thought

it exists

[unreal urchin]

OH
I'm just stupid

and I forgot to move the ftm folder this time

sorry to bother you 😭

[stray spire]

no worries

oh but wait

I just checked

and after installing it correctlz

still no mrg

but no commands in the help output

ohhhh

I see the problem

with the sword at least

there's blades of ruin in my chests from years ago

[proven pewter]

yeah cmbt revalidate didn't do anything to the blade of ruin I have stored

also I don't have mrg either and I'm on 4.2.2 currently

[unreal urchin]

is it a debug/release difference?

[proven pewter]

I'll just strip it out of the save manually

[glass stone]

i just joined this server so sorry if im asking in the wrong place but, whenever i launch stardew thru SMAPI, its super zoomed out for some reason, and i didnt even add a mod yet. if i launch stardew itself, its perfectly fine fullscreen

[swift zephyr]

Does anyone know how I can use custom portraits in Farmer portraits?

I can not find

[stark horizon]

To use custom portraits in Farmer Portraits, you basically have to create a content pack for the mod. There is a sample pack in the files.

[swift zephyr]

If so, can I use portraiture?

[proven pewter]

no, because it's not a portrait, but you can use pytk

be warned that pytk has significant performance penalties though

[swift zephyr]

That?

[proven pewter]

I have no idea what you're trying to convey with that image

[swift zephyr]

I would just like to know if the paths to the personalized portrait are correct with this?

[proven pewter]

I'm not really familiar with that particular mod, and also I cant verify that without also seeing your directory structure

[compact verge]

You don't put the path in the config.json. You need to create a separate content.json for it.

The Template Content Pack that Logo mentioned should have everything you need. You'd just need to replace the images there with your own.

[swift zephyr]

Oh, I see and to create the path to the png

How should I do it?

[stark horizon]

Dolphin said it fairly succinctly. Use the sample content pack as a guide. Just replace the images with your own.

[swift zephyr]

So, when I try to enter the path it appears that it gives an error

This is what makes me confused

[compact verge]

Mm, that's not how it works. Don't change the paths. Change the images.

[swift zephyr]

Oh Now I understand, I'm sorry

[compact verge]

Change the images within the assets folder.

[swift zephyr]

But this applies to portraiture too, right?

[compact verge]

What do you mean by that? Do you want to use HD portraits?

[swift zephyr]

Yes

[compact verge]

I'm not familiar with how Portraiture works but I doubt you can use that for this (maybe someone else can chimes in on this?)

But if you want an HD portrait for your farmer, you can use HD Portrait:

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10971

[swift zephyr]

Yes, my confusion is how do I make the HD portrait work with this mod

[stark horizon]

This is a framework mod, meaning that in order to use it, you need a content pack to go with it. There is a template on the mod's main page

[modern python]

tbh though i dont have high confidence that itll even work with farmer portraits

[stark horizon]

It won't, you're right, vin.

It's just an NPC framework.

[compact verge]

It works! I use it.

[stark horizon]

Oh. Well, I'm happy to be wrong, then.

[swift zephyr]

So just download the model that is there?

[compact verge]

First you install HD Portrait. You don't have to change anything to it.

The in your Farmers Portrait content.json, you'd need to...

[glass stone]

anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

[compact verge]

Wait.

[stark horizon]

Are you using a 4k monitor?

[glass stone]

how do i know if i am-?

[stark horizon]

I mean, you would know...but this is common with high-resolution monitors, especially those greater than 21".

The title screen will remain zoomed out like that, but once you get into the game, you can adjust the zoom level from in the in-game menu

[unreal urchin]

in config there's an option to allow deposit of dark sword under Combat > Quest Settings > Can Deposit Ruined Blade

[proven pewter]

you can't use HD portraits for the farmer. It's only meant for npc portraits. the mod that adds a farmer portrait doesn't use those systems at all

[glass stone]

its around 13 inches (microsoft surface book older laptop)

[stray spire]

that's exactly it, yeah
turns out I marked this command as debug-only
(great guess)

[proven pewter]

portraiture will not work either for the same reason

your only options are to use pytk to scale it up, or use a standard-resolution image

[stark horizon]

Ok, that's interesting. Can you try deleting your start up preferences?

!startuppref

[native dragon]

If your resolution is messed up try deleting startup_preferences This can be found on Windows at %appdata% > Stardew Valley > it's in that folder, or C:\Users\Yourwindowsnamehere\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley or for Mac can be found at ~/.config/StardewValley To get here you'll want to go to your desktop, then in the menu bar select Go -> Go to Folder...

[compact verge]

I swear I did it! Seasonal, even. It works exactly the same as NPC Portraits.

[proven pewter]

(unless the farmer portrait mod draws it in a way that supports different sprite sizes)

[compact verge]

Just needs to target aedenthorn.FarmerPortraits/portrait

[proven pewter]

that's... weird. it shouldn't work. hmmmm

well based on the code, farmer portraits itself just stretches the whole image so I don't think you even need HDP for that

[glass stone]

i cant find it in my files

[compact verge]

Welp, so I guess I did all those CP just to have a roundabout way of loading the portraits.

[stark horizon]

Have you tried loading a save yet, or did you just exit out of the title screen after launching SMAPI?

[glass stone]

i just exited, should i save a day on there?

[compact verge]

@swift zephyr Yeah, sorry. It seems that HD Portraits is not needed after all. Just put the portrait you want in the assets folder and see what happens.

[stark horizon]

You could try that, yes, and then see if your startup preferences populate.

[vital cave]

Hey everyone. I’m new to this chat and unfortunately I’m having some issues.
Also note: i play on the steamdeck.
So I deleted a furniture mod and then added a different one. And it wasn’t working so I went to properties under the steam settings and I was going to try to browse the file to see if it was added ( i think that’s a thing on pc) and I clicked on “verify integrity of game files” bc I didn’t know what it was and it said two files failed and then I tried to open the game and it only lets me see my saves and then when I try to open one it crashes. And also it isn’t loading any mods and I only know that bc I have a mod that changes the menu color scheme. I also have already tried restarting the deck a few times. And also tried deleting the new mod that I had just added. None of that seems to be working.
I’m really worried I might have done something fatal to my game and need help getting it fixed if anyone has any ideas! Thank you in advance! 💛

[proven pewter]

not loading mods? you may need to redo your launch options and/or reinstall SMAPI

[vital cave]

Having trouble uploading my smapi log bc tbh I don’t know what/where the files app is.

[vital cave]

I was worried I might have to uninstall reinstall. But if that’s the best way I can do that.

[proven pewter]

check your launch options first

!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

[pallid summit]

the linux instructions assume a particular environment (maybe it's GNOME?) that has a file browser called Files. i don't know what the steam deck has, but your log should be in this directory: ~/.config/StardewValley/ErrorLogs

[proven pewter]

if you don't know what the path for the launch option is, you can find it like this:

• right-click stardew in steam
• go to manage
• select "Browse Local Files"
• copy the folder path
• add /StardewModdingAPI to the end of the copied folder path
• put the modified path in between the double quotes

[vital cave]

So the launch options is just a blank bar?

Okay one sec

[proven pewter]

no, that's the default, if you want to run mods through steam, you need to put something in there

please read the page, it tells you what to put in there

[stark horizon]

unless you're on a mac (no launch options then)

[proven pewter]

they said they are on steamdeck, so probably linux

[stark horizon]

Oh, I missed that. Apologies.

[vital cave]

Sorry everyone just trying to navigate this thing without asking too many dumb questions. Working on it!

Okay so added that. Is it looking right?

[stark horizon]

Eris, was there anything after the quotation mark in your SMAPI console?

For Windows users, for example, that is followed by %command%

[vital cave]

Let me double check

[proven pewter]

add %command% after the second doubl quote, including the space

[vital cave]

Okay added it in. Then just launch game?

[plain ridge]

@compact verge thanks for the help earlier, I was able to fix it!

[stark horizon]

First things first - I would strongly recommend that you stop using Vortex. It has a tendency to break SDV mods.

This log only shows the first two minutes - did you grab it after the save was fully loaded (i.e. opened to show farmer in farmhouse)?

If you really want to capture data, you can install Profiler, but here are a few observations:

• Custom music / SAAT mods eat a ton of resources and can hinder game performance
• With as many NPCs that you have, Ginger Island Mainland Adjustments is working really hard.
• Do you have the resampling effects turned off for Spritemaster?

[wary field]

Feedback on mod Better Junimos: when I use it, it's incompatible with the original obelisks, I went to wizard tower and only the ridgeside village obelisk is showing and no other obelisks show up. After removing the mod, everything becomes normal.

[remote falcon]

ginger island adjustments,SAAT/custom music is off now and resampling is off already. and what mod launcher is recommended and is there a simple file transfer i could do for them

[stark horizon]

We recommend Stardrop, which was build specifically for SDV. Unfortunately, there is no easy file transfer.

[stark horizon]

Hi! Welcome to the server! The Better Junimos mod appears to have some bugs (just looking at the comments on the mod's page), and this could be a new one? I definitely suggest reporting your issue to the mod author.

[still quartz]

hey me and my friend are trying to get the unlimited stardew valley mod in our game can anyone help us with that

[stark horizon]

I'm not sure to which mod you are referring? I've never heard of that mod.

[languid trout]

(I think they mean unlimited players stardew valley mod, but that isn't even necessary anymore?)

[stark horizon]

Oh, well, if that's the case, then I would say don't add it, because a) what you said, and b) it's pretty buggy

[cyan tangle]

Is the npc adventures mod compatible on Android? I didn't see anyone testing that mod out on yt

[lean star]

not working, according to the compatibility list

!androidcompat

[native dragon]

An incomplete list of android compatible mods can be found at https://android.stardew.rocks. If you find a mod that isn't on there, submit it by following the instructions here.

[cyan tangle]

I just did a bit of research and it seems the mod is working but the dependency it requires- Quest framework is incompatible with the new 1.5 update

[lean star]

if NPC Adventures works then Quest Framework has to work, meaning the compat list wasn't updated
Quest Framework not being compatible with 1.5 would be quite interesting given that it requires 1.5

my advise, give it a shot, most folks here don't play on android (me included)

I plan to plant 3x3 more twenty crop for decoration, at spring like potato, strawberry, cauliflower, and none of them turn to giant yet. Is it only because of incompatibility, or my bad RNG ?

did u follow the guide on the nexus page

pretty sure u ned to download like 2 mods

need*

Do you want to use ohodavi's anime portrait? Their mod has two versions, the XNB one and the Content Patcher one. You can use the Content Patcher one. (it would have [CP] on the folder's name.

Should I use the latest version of Stardew?

Or the 1.5.6.39

I see so I was right

But the mod not working...

I'll try to delete it all

And start in the beginning

[dark crane]

There is a mod that expands the farm for 4 players? because the default farm is not enough

[stray spire]

There is literally a farm layout called 4-corners, made for 4-player multiplayer, in the vanilla game

if you want something else, there are plenty of huge farm layout mods out there

but you can't change the layout you are already using, you'd need to start a new game

[mossy spruce]

If you mean the two More Giant Crops and 6480's Giant Crops, then yes, I followed

[compact verge]

If you want like, every player having a big farm region for themselves, you can try Four Corners Expanded.

[worn marsh]

it has specific installation instructions that arent like other mods

but it could also be bad rng

[pastel hare]

Heya, let me know if this has already been answered but I updated MARGO to the latest version yesterday, when I go in to edit the individual modules I can only turn them off and on in Generic mod config menu. Before I used to be able to edit each individual module in the menu. Did i install something wrong or is that intended?

[dire fractal]

how did you fix that?

i think i have the same problem

omfg

i fixed it

run as administrator! hoorah!!

[mossy spruce]

Well I dont have knowledge about modding structure in common, but i have modified some mods for fixing incompability working each other, so I think this case is clearly not complex. Anyway, may you check these to confirm it only happen because of bad rng ?

Also I play on mobile, and here is my log id you need

[worn marsh]

this looks correct. you can plant pumpkins, cauliflower, and melons to test if those give you giant crops, since those are vanilla

[mossy spruce]

I on test with cauli, but it seems not working

If it is bad rng, at least I feel better that mod still working

[worn marsh]

so if cauliflower doesnt work, either you havent waited long enough (its only a 1% chance) or your method is wrong. for giant crops to spawn in general, the middle crop must be fully grown

either way, not a mod problem

[wise lichen]

this may be very stupid, but i cant find my mods folder in the stardew folder:0 the wiki etc says its supposed to be in there, but its just not

[worn marsh]

did you install smapi?

[wise lichen]

oh wait no

okok wait ill do that, thank u:3

[mossy spruce]

Only 1% ? Well now I know

[worn marsh]

the stardew wiki explains how giant crops work

i think it is spacecore's fault but i dunno how to fix it, i tried installing new and old versions and it didn't worked

[patent ridge]

seem like another mod not spacecore causing the problem. You might want to try to remove lastest mod using spacecore but not spacecore. Remember to back up or save file as well

[red linden]

sure

i think i know what mod it is

[scarlet quail]

yeah that's almost assuredly save anywhere's fault

although yeet Bookcase too.

(i.e. stop using Curseforge)

[red linden]

ok 🫡

[red linden]

im not using save anywhere

[scarlet quail]

.... how odd. That Farm Type Manager message is exclusively when someone tries to load a save at a non-standard time

Did you previously use save anywhere?

[red linden]

never

but

[red linden]

it worked

ty @patent ridge and @scarlet quail (i shouldn't mention mb but still tysm)

[patent ridge]

xD

[wise lichen]

i just installed smapi and sve and added a recolor, but nothing shows up in my game:0

[scarlet quail]

!log z Z

[native dragon]

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.

[wise lichen]

it says that it cant find my log:0

[patent ridge]

u can find it in the folder manually I think

[wise lichen]

ok wait ill try

[scarlet quail]

If you still can't find a log, and you're on windows, it may be you never launched SMAPI itself

When you added the mods to the mod folder and started SDV, did you get a console window or just the game?

[patent ridge]

make sense lol

[wise lichen]

the game started normally:0

oh wait ok

[scarlet quail]

!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

[wise lichen]

thankksss

[patent ridge]

like u have to use this instead of normal one

[dark crane]

mods lock achivments?

[scarlet quail]

Nope

[patent ridge]

no

[scarlet quail]

in fact you have to specifically mess up the install in order to disable them

SMAPI'll log a warning if they're off.

[dark crane]

okay, super

[wise lichen]

ive launched that one but the recolor still isnt there:00

its installed tho but idk why its not in the game

[worthy moth]

If you did indeed launch StardewModdingAPI.exe then you should have a log now

[scarlet quail]

LeFaux is right - assuming you got the console box, we'll now be able to see if your mods are actually loading via the log.

If they're erroring out, the log will tell us why too

[glad ruin]

Pls help download smapi I have problem

that... isn't what your error is saying

C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardew Valley has precisely zero steam path

[glad ruin]

I'm moving all the games into one file

[scarlet quail]

That's probably half your problem, tbh

The other half may be you installed SMAPI as admin.

And in that case you gotta yeet the entire install, get the game files back, and then install SMAPI normally.

[glad ruin]

ok, now I'll try to download it via Steam and leave it in the Steam files

[vapid finch]

I ended up redownloading stardew bc I think something got deleted, but everything’s running good

[dire fractal]

I was playing but some shi happened, had to reinstall the addons

but now i get this

[scarlet quail]

you definitely didn't reinstall the add-ons

The first is not the actual Grandpa's Farm

(it wouldn't have an underscore in it, for one, and for two, the mod itself has content and manifest jsons)

The second one IDK what folder you have called "mods" within your "Mods" folder but it should be deleted

Also in the future:

Getting this

[scarlet quail]

....

Colloquially speaking, what the fuck happened to your mods

Normally speaking, though, are you using Vortex or something?

Because your SVE is mega broken, GMCM somehow got broken too

And so long as both of those are broken you'll get that red spam

You'll need to reinstall both of those to get rid of the red.

[dire fractal]

Alright

Reinstalling them now

Ay it worked

Thanks man

Will this affect anything

[scarlet quail]

Content Patcher, not really

Mod Update Menu, probably since there's an unofficial update to it, which generally means the OG is broken

[dire fractal]

I'll just update both because why not

[drowsy drum]

anyone know why/what mod causes issues with the snow that makes it bunch up like this? https://smapi.io/log/8535ad50148e483a8655eb6b0236c5ec
I don't think it's quick glance, just because i've had that mod way longer than this issue has been happening. It happens with all of the windy particles, like spring and fall.

that'd be spritemaster

It has custom snow draw logic that causes that on occasion. It usually fixes itself, though.

[drowsy drum]

Ok that's a newer one. I don't see any options in Gmcm. are there any settings i can change that fix it? i've reloaded the game a few times across past few days and it still happens

[scarlet quail]

Not entirely sure. You may be able to click on Show Advanced Settings in SpriteMaster's GMCM and figure out a setting there

but I don't think so.

[drowsy drum]

I turned off spritemaster snow entirely. In a few seasons I'll see if it's still happening spring/fall. Thanks

[patent ridge]

yeah this is from sprite master

[wide ginkgo]

hi! i have stardew on steam and recently downloaded SMAPI to mod the game, all of my other mods are working except from date night mod? i tried removing my other mods to see if there was an incompatibility with them, I have all the mods needed to support date night and the date night option is in my mod config menu, but then it just.. isn’t working in game? sorry if this didn’t make much sense, i’m clearly new to modding (lmao)

[scarlet quail]

Two important questions

A) Is date chance set to 100 in Date night's config

B ) who is your spouse

[wide ginkgo]

my spouse is harvey and i left the date chance on what it was set on (i think50?) :0

[scarlet quail]

!log as well

[native dragon]

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.

[scarlet quail]

Then it's possible Harvey just didn't want to date you today

But do give a log, just in case Date Night isn't loading for some reason

[wide ginkgo]

yeah, i thought that at first lmao but i'd been using it for almost 20 days ingame and i figured the maths was probably against that

[scarlet quail]

Eh, I could see it happen with some RNG

that's why I'd always check to make sure that Date Chance is set to 100

[wide ginkgo]

okay, i'll give it a go with date chance 100 to make sure!!

[scarlet quail]

Date Night is not in this log

the only existing mod in this log is Earthy Recolor, in fact.

oh lmao, it's in my mod config on my game! i'll try redownload the original mod then and see if that works since i must have messed something up

Is it possible to use multiple mods that add/alter the bundles in the community center?

[robust bison]

I don't think so

in general, since bundles mods make your save delicate, it's best to use 1 and never touch it after installing

[scarlet quail]

Is Harvey's disableddates config set to true

[wide ginkgo]

no, i left everyones on false to make sure

[scarlet quail]

Hm.

19:36:04 TRACE Free Love no spouses

It's not telling me you're married to Harvey

[wide ginkgo]

oh, i'm not married to him!! im an idiot, has that been my problem the whole time lmao

[scarlet quail]

And for the record, I was the person who coded the Free Love patch to that mod and sent to SUPERT, so I'd like to be able to troubleshoot that

Yes

You need to be married to the person to go on those dates with them

[wide ginkgo]

okay, no worries, thank you so much for your help!!

[scarlet quail]

The mod description states that I think

[wide ginkgo]

thats 100% me being a dumbass and missing that whilst reading oops

[languid trout]

(Hey, at least you actually checked and got everything squared away!)

[wide ginkgo]

i legit redownloaded about three times thinking i had downloaded it wrong 😆 (because i'm pretty pathetic at computers)

[dusk lagoon]

is there a website/resource that will tell you whether 2 mods are compatible with each other?

[robust bison]

best to read the mod descriptions and comments

[patent ridge]

yeah

I figured, but I thought I'd ask as compatibility information isn't always given. Thank you

so im switching over to stardrop from vortex and was just curious if i had to manually install all my mods again via nexus or am i able to just drag and install the files into stardrop?

[robust bison]

I don't use stardrop, but I think they just need to be in the mods folder

[worthy moth]

Stardrop sort of has its own mod folder, particularly if you launch the game with it and you use mod groups

It keeps all of your mods in one place, and then based on your mod groups will launch the game with just the ones you've selected

!androidsmapi

[native dragon]

Android SMAPI does not currently work for versions of SDV past 1.5.6.39. 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.

[remote falcon]

i must have had more than one mod file i didnt notice

[languid trout]

Nor Roots of Ferngill

[remote falcon]

yeah i missed a couple files lmao

any idea how to get around the when i enable earthy recolour it creates the circular reference?

[languid trout]

As for Immersive Farm 2, it looks like it is because there's a weird loop involving boarding house being erroneously listed as a dependency?

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/16873
If you want to keep that save, here's my advice.
You have a few options. Disable Boarding house and keep playing.
Replace this farm with a different one also compatible with sve.

[remote falcon]

we havent got a set farm saved for the file just using that one to test things and making new ones to also check to get everything working

when i disable the daisynikos earthy recolour the circular reference does stop

i keep seeing a version called immersive farm 2 remastered which is compatible with sve but cant find it anywhere

[scarlet quail]

It's on SVE'S page

Under optional files

You should probably use that instead of IF2 the original if playing with SVE

IF2R Has some nice built-in integration with SVE stuff as it's specifically designed with SVE in mind

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.

[versed rose]

Hmmmm ima try again aight thanks

[proven pewter]

the big thing here is making sure you have the right version of stardew installed. if your phone auto-updates apps, you may have a version of the game that is too new to mod

[versed rose]

....ah i see

Somehow after everything, yeap i still can't

Ima try it on pc later

[drowsy drum]

... anyone know what mod is causing this

[modern python]

margo

i think theres an explanation in the github docs

[drowsy drum]

ok i am actively checking them but that saves me sooo much time thank u

Hello, I can't install mods in the data folder on my Android 11, it always gives an error and when I went to install smapi I can't access the data folder on Android and when I saw it install the mods on my

Does any modder know what to do?

[stark horizon]

I'm not super familiar with android modding, but you need to use a file manager. That being said...

[modern python]

considering how broken the state of mobile modding is, do you think we should just prune this command down to the first two paragraphs?

its gotten quite big and mostly we just want those two paragraphs

[languid trout]

(Please.)

[stark horizon]

I can support that, Vin.

[slow sonnet]

Hello, I use zarquiver but when I try to put the mods in the mods folder, it doesn't work, an error appears saying that all the mods are not the owner of the data folder and I'm on Android 11

[stark horizon]

I unfortunately don't know how to help you with that. The extent of my knowledge goes as far as making sure that you give full access permissions.

[modern python]

done

[languid trout]

(Thank you so much Vin.)

[pallid summit]

the only other relevant thing i heard about android is that a recent (like, yesterday-ish) google play update broke filesystem access for a bunch of recent phone models

[slow sonnet]

I made it

And it doesn't solve

[modern python]

when you think it cant get any worse....

[stark horizon]

Your best bet is to perhaps search the subreddit for other android users who may have found solutions.

[slow sonnet]

I did this too, everyone's Android looks like this

[simple swift]

I FIXED IT, AFTER A WHOLE WEEK I FIXED IT.... Now I have no idea what broke the artifact spots in the first place. But I essentially had to re-install everything... all over 500 mods... It was not fun.

[pallid summit]

well, it might be the thing i was talking about. what model phone do you have?

[slow sonnet]

Moto e32 Android 11

[pallid summit]

ok. it's probably not that. sorry i can't be more help

[slow sonnet]

What?

[modern python]

unfortunately theres probably not anything we can do to help with your situation

[slow sonnet]

So will I have to wait for Zane to update smapi? In fact, because he no longer uses the Stardew Valley folder, this is giving me a headache, I lost a save because of this, a save with PERFECTION

[stark horizon]

Your saves should still be accessible, SMAPI doesn't alter their location.

[slow sonnet]

I searched all over my phone and I couldn't find my mods that I wanted to download, I can't do it, I'll have to wait for Zane to update smapi???

This is sad I can't play on my smapi because it asked me to reinstall after I reinstalled I couldn't access the stardew folder because it's in the data folder on Android

And I can't even get Zane's folder and put it there, I can't always get the error that the folder or file is not owned by Android data

[stark horizon]

To reiterate what I and others have already said - there's nothing we can do to help you. Try deleting SMAPI. You should still be able to play regular Stardew.

[slow sonnet]

Android 13 or 14 users also cannot install the Api or I stardew valley so it is difficult

Sorry, Stardew Valley is no longer supported on my Android or 13 and 14

So there's nothing to do

[modern python]

correct.

[slow sonnet]

I asked Zane for help but he doesn't respond to QQ and gitrub comments

[modern python]

he does android smapi as a hobby so he's under no obligation to do so

[slow sonnet]

And the patronchild doesn't know how to program Android

[languid trout]

....

[modern python]

id recommend stepping away from this and focusing on something else for a while. as we have reiterated several times, we cant do anything to help.

[slow sonnet]

Yes, obviously he has no obligation

[languid trout]

We can't help you. You can help yourself by taking five.

[slow sonnet]

Ok thanks

[unreal urchin]

@stray spire sorry to pester you again. Is it intentional that max size crab pot fish do not count towards the rodmancer lvl 20 fish sell price bonus? I've caught a max size crawfish through a crab pot with magic bait, and it's not showing up as max size in the collection tab. Is this a design choice, an oversight, or is it affecting sell price but not showing up in the tracker? Thanks! I've been having a ton of fun with the new combat stuff.

Hello! New to modding. I think I'm having an issue with the Save Anywhere mod. At first it was working, but then my NPC started acting funny and when I load my save I start the day over in bed. Then when I got to bed to save for the day, my game crashes. Now I can't even get into my game.

[pallid summit]

unfortunately, i think that's the nature of save anywhere currently

[pale bridge]

I tried unchecking it from Stardrop, but that definitely didn't work. Is there a way to get my game to load from an older save?

[modern python]

!saves

[native dragon]

Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.

[stark horizon]

Almost a jinx, Vin

[pale bridge]

I also downloaded PFM Automate around this time, but I wouldn't think that would be the issue.

[unreal urchin]

what's your os and what exact mod are you using? the original or the redux?

It does seem like it's not working actually

looking at some of the posts on the mod page

[modern python]

even the author of the reduxed version is telling people not to use it, which seems pretty telling

[unreal urchin]

yep

Someone should probably update that on the smapi.io mod compatibility list

I would if I knew how

OH

I'll add a note on the wiki list

[pale bridge]

Windows 10, and mine says redux

[pale bridge]

Did not know this, thank you!

[scenic shore]

Hey I am having trouble modding my game, there is no mods folder for my stardew valley game

[modern python]

have you downloaded and installed smapi? and what platform are you on?

[scenic shore]

I have downloaded it and I am on windows

[languid trout]

Did you install it?

[scenic shore]

I hadn't installed it yet

I am right now

[modern python]

ok, unzip and launch the install for windows.bat file

[scenic shore]

Thank you!

[unreal urchin]

Is this enough to mark it as broken or should I just add a warning?

my instinct is to just add a warning because it's not totally broken

[modern python]

probably warning. iirc the author is keeping it up in hopes of getting enough bug reports to someday be able to get it into a working state

[unreal urchin]

i.e. it doesn't crash or anything

right

[languid trout]

Broken if used.

Doesn't break just having it installed

[pale bridge]

So I took out the latest save and used the old save from yesterday. Seems to be working, will see how ending a day goes.

[scenic shore]

Okay so I installed it, what do I do now?

[modern python]

did you copy that green line of text for the launch options?

[scenic shore]

Yes

[modern python]

alright, now right click stardew on steam, click properties, then paste that into the launch options field

after that, you should have a mods folder where you can put unzipped mod files. then play through steam and enjoy your modded game!

[scenic shore]

Thank you

[dire fractal]

My cursor stop moving when i try to place the artifacts and minerals

[scenic shore]

I think I did something wrong, where would I find that green line of text?

[dire fractal]

It happend when placing building and puting animals in their respective home(coop,barn) as well

[modern python]

you can run the installer again to get it

but its probably something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

[unreal urchin]

Fixed it on the wiki so the change should get pushed out to smapi soonish

[dire fractal]

As soon as u install the smapi through the console the green text comes on the consoler

[dire fractal]

???

[stark horizon]

What platform are you on?

[scarlet quail]

(I'm betting android)

[dire fractal]

Pc

I have 195 mods loaded currently

[scarlet quail]

(That's usually an android issue. Hm.)

!log though.

[native dragon]

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.

[stark horizon]

Definitely. A log would be very helpful here.

[dire fractal]

[scarlet quail]

Remove Custom Spouse Patio and Multiple Spouses, use Custom Spouse Patio Redux

You already have Free Love, so I don't need to tell you to replace with that.

[modern python]

Save Anywhere too

[scarlet quail]

Finally, please get a log of you trying to put a museum piece in.

the log you gave only goes to title screen.

[dire fractal]

Well tbh i dont really care abt the marriage in the game so i am just gonna dlt it

Are there any benefit from it ?

[modern python]

benefit from what? marriage?

[dire fractal]

Yeah are there any

[modern python]

your spouse gives you an exclusive stardrop so yeah (but you can also roommate with krobus to do that)

[dire fractal]

Okay

[scarlet quail]

Aside from that, they can fix your fences, feed your animals, or water your crops

[dire fractal]

Havent really goten to the point yet

And what about the skipped mods?

[scarlet quail]

Cuter Fatter Animals isn't loading because you have it in your list twice

Once as Chonkins, once as Cuter Fatter Animals

Otherwise, the rest are outdated and can't be used, just images so they'd have to replace things, or XNB stuff, which

!xnbzola

[native dragon]

XNB mods often break the game and are not recommended. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods for more info (and a list of Content Patcher alternatives), and https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files to fix problems caused by XNB mods. For mod creators, see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Editing_XNB_files for help unpacking & editing them (including for use with Content Patcher). https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/156109690059751424/575085766426886145/ZolasFury.png

[pale bridge]

Hmm something keeps crashing the game, got back to working, but near the evening it crashes and I have to redo everything for that day. Is there a way to see what is making it crash?

[scarlet quail]

!log after it crashes

[native dragon]

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.

[scarlet quail]

don't reboot the game until you've gotten the log, or the crash data will go away.

I'm assuming "redo everything for that day" means it's crashing during gameplay and not before it

so I don't have to ask the usual "not responding or CTD"

It does both, crashes during game play and just now it did right before it when I went to load

[languid trout]

Is it crashing, or not responding?

When it loads, I mean.

[pale bridge]

Not responding

[languid trout]

That's not a crash, that's normal for loading.

Don't touch your computer, let it actually load.

[pale bridge]

But it gets stuck there and won't do anything
