Download this or Fast Loads.
Not both, once you do that, load the game up. Do not touch it while it's loading. It will say it isn't responding. We need an actual crash log.
(What you provided was just you closing out the game while it was still loading.)

Gotcha, thank you. I will say it did actually crash earlier.

ok, can you, in stardrop, go to view, then settings, and look at the mod folder path that it lists? is that the same folder that you put ridgeside in?

Hello! I'm very sorry to bother, i would need advice as to how to start modding. I'm visually impaired and use a screen reader, (+english isn't my native language) and I'm really struggling with the process... So far I'm following the modding player guide, but already I'm stuck. I don't really care for the steam achievement nor the game time tracking, so i should "launch SMAPI mascot.png StardewModdingAPI.exe in your game folder to play with mods.) " but i'm confused, where is this game folder?

Did you install the game through steam?

When two mods both edit dialogue or images, whichever mod loads last "wins" and is the one you see in the game.

How exactly do you add a dependency section to a file that doesnt already have one? Im on mac

on the last line of your manifest, add a comma. then hit enter and paste this:

Have you opened up the manifest.json file of the mod that you want to have loaded second?
rocky crystal
the one loaded second is the one thats going to be the override correct?
If so yes
worthy moth
Okay, and does that mod already have Dependencies?
rocky crystal
No i dont think so
worthy moth
Cool. You'll know because somewhere in that file you'd see the word Dependencies. That means you'll need to add it.
worthy moth
So then at the bottom, you'll add it, but you have to add it before the last }
rocky crystal
it looks like
worthy moth
So it'll be like
{
Whatever was in here before
<-- here is where you add dependencies
}
You can pretty much copy+paste this part right where I said in the previous message
"Dependencies": [
{
"UniqueID": "ModAuthor.FirstMod",
"IsRequired": false,
},
]
I actually have two acing this was } with a comma afterwards, does that mean anything different?
worthy moth
Yeah you only need it before the last }
rocky crystal
ok
worthy moth
So if there are two, you need to put it after the first one since it should still end with just one
So if it looked like this
{
A bunch of stuff
}}
That means you'll need to do this
{
A bunch of stuff
},
<-- here is where you add dependencies
}
Great! cleared it right up
worthy moth
And it's alright if you make a mistake. That's what pasting it into smapi.io/json does for you is it checks that everything was done correctly
rocky crystal
ok let me do that
worthy moth
If you've added the dependency section, the only thing left to do is make sure ModAuthor.FirstMod is repalced with the actual mod you want it to load after
So you need to get that from the other mod's manifest.json file
modern python
thats fine, mod will still work without it i believe
rocky crystal
ok
getting the other mod now
Ok i have the other mod up, do I just fill in the blanks?
The one on the bottom is the one I want to be used instead of the seasonal outsits
worthy moth
You don't need to change anything about the other mod, just grab it's id

What does this mean?

!unzip

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.
modern python
in your downloads folder, youll find the .zip file of the mod. right click and select "extract" and have it go to your mods folder

You can try installing the Profiler mod to help diagnose what's causing lag
Profiler times a bunch of thing that mods do so that if one is misbehaving, it'll tell you which one
modern python
I will start a new game and make sure everything works
!findmodsfolder make sure you put (unzipped) mods into the folder as well, see the command on how to find the folder in case you have issues
native dragonBOT
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.

Hey so for downloading mods off of nexus, am i supposed to manual download or vortex download
first time downloading mods for stardew
native dragonBOT
Using Vortex Mod Manager with Stardew Valley has the risk of your mods not getting installed properly, and other issues. Consider doing manual mod installation or using Stardrop, a mod manager that was purpose built for SDV, instead!

First step is to extract the zipped folder. The game cannot read those, nor does downloading Smapi mean you have it installed. You have to launch the installer, which will then add the Mods folder to your Stardew Valley folder. Click the instructions for your OS system because Linux, MacOS and Windows have different processes.
If you don't know how to extract a folder, if you have Windows, you just right click the folder, and select extract all. With Smapi, you can just extract it to your downloads and run it-it will just automatically install itself where it needs to go. With mods, you have to extract them to the Mods folder.

I have been using this body mod from Naver [CP] Women's Pitch Body Shape Mode ♬: Naver Blog

Okay I've got SMAPI installed. I like that it has a separate console window. Decided to check out the built-in commands, but for some reason I get "access denied" trying to open the game data folder?
Like I have no problem opening %APPDATA% manually (other than the mild inconvenience of it), so I'm not sure why it's having a problem.
SMAPI should be running under my username/SID?
The freeze time command seems to be working at least, which means I don't necessarily need the mod I was going to add, TimeMaster... I'll still probably use it out of convenience, but the command is nice as a backup
pallid summit
for what it's worth, it doesn't work for me either, but if you can open it manually i wouldn't worry about it too much
soft nova
I'm going to see what happens if I set the folder so "Everyone" has read access. Just out of curiosity.
soft nova
Yeah that didn't work, clearly something is bugged LOL.
Oh well, at this point I can practically type %APPDATA% in my sleep. I access that folder SO much between gaming and poweruser-ing

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. It is not possible to downgrade to .39 through legal means so do not ask how to do this.
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.

Some of my crops are mysteriously growing when I exit my house at the start of a day,, like I have some melons I just planted a day or two ago and suddenly they are fully grown, seemingly happening as I walk past them. At first I thought it might be TimeMaster mod which I installed last night, but then I uninstalled that to test and it's still happening.
It only seems to happen to the first few crops I pass after exiting my farmhouse but that just makes it even stranger.
Actually, correction, everything is instantly growing, but only after a collision check against the tile (so the server says it's grown but my client doesn't understand why. Even in single player, where the client and server are the same application). It seems like adding SMAPI might've broken something when initially loading the save?
Nothing except the blueberries and the peppers on the left should be fully grown
the melons, flowers, wheat, etc grew (or I suppose the client got informed of the growth, idk) when I walked over them, after a few seconds, and the wild seeds grew when I walked into them (blocked movement)

you can do that by launching Stardew Valley.exe instead of StardewModdingAPI.exe.

if you don't see the .exe part, that's okay, just launch the one with the game icon

Yeah it did the same thing when I did that
It looks cut off on the right side of the screen with no audio
Should I Uninstall it?
And then reinstall?
proven pewter
okay, so in that case t's a problem with stardew itself, and not the mods. I advise heading over to #vanilla-tech-support and asking there as they have more epxerience dealing with problems with the base game
(uninstalling/reintalling your mods will have no effect on the base game, so it won't help you here. You can still do so if you like, but it's a waste of time.)
you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the game itself, though IDK if that will help. If you do decide to do that though, make sure to back up your mods first and reinstall SMAPI afterwards!

okay, i’ll try that. thank you guys anyways for your help and suggestions!

Good luck! I'd love to hear the answer if you find the solution!

hello 
i was wondering about some specific mods. the [PPJA] mods often have multiple files with different acronyms at the start and i am not sure what they stand for
i don't know if i am supposed to download both/all of the files or if the acronyms are maybe mod dependencies. in that case, i have all the mods it says it needs, so would i still download both versions?
i always have a way of accidentally making manual modding very difficult for myself lol
robust bison
if you list the acronyms we can explain them for you
worn marsh
mods like ppja are basically multiple small mods packaged together, since each thing does something different. You should keep them all in the one folder they're downloaded in
white basin
[DGA] and [MFM] are the current ones i don't know
worn marsh
dont use the DGA version of PPJA mods
use the JA versions instead
(the DGA versions are a bit broken)
modern python
avoid the DGA ones. DGA is a fine framework but the PPJA mods were converted poorly and dont work properly
robust bison
MFM is mail framework mod I believe
modern python
correct
robust bison
basically used to let NPCs "send" you letters
worn marsh
anyways, for example, in the JA version of PPJA you'll have a [JA] folder which adds the items, a [PFM] folder which adds artisan machine rules, an [MFM] folder which allows for custom letters, etc. All of the pieces work together to make the whole mod work
white basin
interesting. so would i download all of the files listed if i have all of those mods, or would i only download one of them?
worn marsh
you should only be downloading one files from the mod page, can you send a screenshot of what you're confused about?
(one zip would contain all the necessary parts)
white basin
oh, so i would instead place the entire zip extracted into the mods folder?
worn marsh
yes!
white basin
ah that makes sense, ty! i will see if this works <:SDVkrobusgiggle:898395746875...
it worked. yay!

thank you!
strong vale
Okay
Okay what Vinilla said about bundle mods needing a new save is actually wrong!
You can change it mid save
It's entirely based on what you typed in the CCCB config
strong vale
Would you mind sending me a screenshot of what's in your config?
Also are you using a mod launcher or doing this all manually, for clarity?
stark horizon
Vin wasn't wholly wrong, Lulu. Many bundle mods will break saves if added mid-save or changed mid-save.
Which is why we recommend new saves.
strong vale
Not dispariging Vinilla in any way they kick ass :3
strong vale
What does the config.json read as?
dire fractal
uh how would i pull that up
languid trout
(Also if you're going run dynamic reflections, visible fish and Ridgeside I recommend Fast Loads or SpriteMaster btw. and while yes, Lulu, it is technically possible, we use strong language to emphasize not to do it because we're volunteers and we shouldn't offer risky solutions that might give US a headache.)
strong vale
Open it with a text editor
dire fractal
the config or atelier
strong vale
config.json!
stark horizon
I don't see where Vin said "can't" but perhaps I'm missing something. Either way, bundles are very fragile constructs, so we don't recommend changes.
dire fractal

gotcha!
oh.
strong vale
That's ur problem :3
dire fractal
so it just.... didnt change?
past latch
prob didn't save
dire fractal
that sucks
past latch
I do that all the time
dire fractal
so what do i type in?
strong vale
Lemme get the exact formatting from Wildflour's page
strong vale
Atelier
Replace Pure_Vanilla with Atelier
Also I know what you did wrong cuz I saw an Atelier file in your folder earlier
You probably renamed the FILE, not the contents?
strong vale
So change that, show me a screenshot of the changed thing, save it, and you should be good!
strong vale
As Vinilla and Logo mentioned, this may have potential bugs, but otherwise you should be good to go
strong vale
just save it yeah? dont save as or anything else
Just save!
dire fractal
kk
strong vale
And then launch your save and look at the bundles :3
dire fractal
oh it saved as a notepad now thats gonna mess with it wont it?
strong vale
No
That just means from now on if you open future .json files
It will open them in Notepad
Which is more or less what you want anyways
modern python
as long as it says .json still its fine
strong vale
Lemme know how it goes!
dire fractal
Lemme know how it goes!
it loaded the atelier ones :) thank you sm!

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.

(Usually the only reason it doesn't work on a different drive is if you don't set Smapi to follow the path properly. It defaults to C:)

Is that because I added the mods when it was on the c drive?
winged vessel
That would make sense
trim acorn
I Uninstalled and the reinstalled to d drive
But I was still having the audi and frame issues when it was on the original c drive
languid trout
(It could be the monobug. No audio output would just straight up crash the game)
languid trout
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that ...
I can only speculate without your log.
languid trout
I Uninstalled and the reinstalled to d drive
So whenever you move the game to a different drive you should reinstall Smapi to ensure the file path it follows is right. At least that's my understanding. (feel free to correct me Myuu.)
winged vessel

hi everyone, quick question. how can i connect stardrop to steam so i can keep getting steam achievements?
or is it smapi i would need to connect? sorry im new to this lol
pallid summit
!launchoptions maybe?
native dragonBOT
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

There are instructions on the Stardop wiki. https://floogen.gitbook.io/stardrop/guides/add-stardrop-to-steam

stark horizon
What exactly did you paste into the field in Steam?
median oxide
"FULL_PATH_TO_Stardrop.exe" %command%
stark horizon
Because there are two options. That one requires you to start SMAPI separately.
median oxide
tried the other one too "FULL_PATH_TO_Stardrop.exe" --start-smapi true %command%
median oxide
" an error occurred while launching this game: missing executable"
is the steam error messaghe im getting
pallid summit
make sure you put in the actual path to your stardrop.exe and not the literal text "FULL_PATH_TO_Stardrop.exe"

okay okay but where do i see it? bc i moved it to the stardew mods folder

winged vessel
Great, then SMAPI is running and it recognizes your mods
modern python
some mods you cant tell right away theyve changed something, but youll see them loading in the console
hushed grove
how does the mod manager work then
winged vessel
You add new mods to the folder, and it gets loaded when you launch the game
It's not like some other game's modloaders like TModLoader or MC where you'll see something immediately on the menu
SMAPI by default aims to be as close to vanilla as possible when no mods are installed
hushed grove
the console commands thing, am i supposed to type something in to trigger it or

console commands enables some things to be used on the black window that you see

for instance debug fin goldenwalnut will give you a golden walnut

Hey, I've been playing with a few mods, (Biggest are seasonal outfits, diverse stardew valley, ridgeside village, and stardew valley expanded)
and there's noticeable load times, I have an alright computer, so I'm not sure if it's my computer or something wrong with the mods, I'm pretty new to SDV modding
Specs:
RAM: 32GB
CPU: Intel Core i9-9980HK
GPU: Nvidia Quadro T2000
modern python
how long are the load times exactly?
dire fractal
about a second or less longer than normal, but randomly there will be a very long load
it only happens when loading new areas, not when starting the game, which seems to be where most people report issues
It's very noticeable, normally stardew valley loading times aren't noticeable for me
idk maybe I just need to get used to it but it seems a bit odd
modern python
hm, yeah i cant say ive heard similar but its probably nothing major? you can try using spritemaster or fastloads to see if either of those help
dire fractal
thanks

Unfortunately not, since Google Play doesn't have any way of downgrading

All the things in Optional portraits and sprites are not standalone mods. You are supposed to use those to replace the images in the mods you're using.
The Harvey Mod is an xnb mod. Don't use an xnb mod. They can break your game. Just delete it.
I'm not sure what's happening with the Romanceable Rasmodia mod. Can you provide your SMAPI log?

Okay, so I'm pretty sure the [CP] Romanceable Rasmodia folder supposed to be a replacer for the Romanceable Rasmodia mod. So if you don't have that installed, you can safely erase it.
