Interesting. Your log indicates SMAPI still isn't finding your audio hardware

bitter pebble
#

oh...

scarlet quail
#

Until the audio hardware is found by SMAPI - meaning whatever fix you managed probably didn't make the audio hardware go to the whole computer or something - it's not fixable, unfortunately

#

it's definitely a computer-side issue

daring ermine
#

@modern python sorry for ping but when it freezes can i wait it out and it will fix?

modern python
#

i guess we can double check whats actually happening, its most likely a ram thing but it could be an error of some sort

#

can you play until it freezes then do…

#

!log this?

native dragonBOT

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.

Also that might just be difficult to change considering the item was introduced after the mod was last updated

warm trout
#

Robin send me that letter: "you might need some more space someday..."

#

but that part that she excuses is missing

#

theres no error in my smapi log

#

is there any mod that does it?

#

No clue, sounds benign, but does it show up like that in your inventory?

scarlet quail
#

(Honestly I don't know what they're talking about Chirps)

#

Robin doesn't really send many, if any, letters about a house upgrade and I don't understand the second sentence SweatSmileIan

languid trout
#

It sounds like they might have just clicked too fast. What they're talking about is the letter you receive for getting your first cooking recipe, which, again, very benign, and should show up properly in the inventory. *MAIL COLLECTION

scarlet quail
#

blinks in... your inventory?

#

Do you mean your mail collection?

languid trout
#

Mail collection, not inventory SDVpuffersweats

scarlet quail
#

Because if we're talking about the same thing there's no item in that I'm almost completely positive

#

okay whew

languid trout
#

Yes, we are. I just forgot the menu option name SweatSmileIan

spiral tartan
#

anyone know why when i try to update Generic Mod Config Menu, Json Assets, and Spacecore i download the new files on Nexus then delete old ones then try to run the game it still says they need updates 😭

worthy moth
#

You likely downloaded the version for 1.6-alpha

#

But are still running SDV 1.5

spiral tartan
#

yep i tried both downloads and i fear it still popped up purple

modern python
#

just stick to 1.5 and ignore the update

spiral tartan
#

so everything should work right without updating them?

modern python
#

yep

spiral tartan
#

thank you!

sorry to dissapoint you but i already started a new day so the log is in void

#

@mossy cape You need the entire Content Patcher folder. This is what it should look like inside. and it should go in your Mods folder

image.png
#

This is what any mod other than SMAPI looks like

mossy cape
#

okay so i put the dll in the content patcher folder, but i also need a manifest

worn marsh
#

Nope. you downloaded the content patcher folder. you need the whole folder you downloaded

#

Did you download it from Nexus?

mossy cape
#

i did

worn marsh
#

So in the zip file it gave you, there should be a folder with all of the files inside of it

#

you should not be making any new folders, moving anything around, creating any files, or any of that

#

also 2. Make sure you got the alpha 1.6 version of Content Patcher

mossy cape
#

oh i'm not sure i did get the alpha 1.6 version

#

is that a different link

worn marsh
#

You didnt, that one is too old

mossy cape
#

gotcha

worn marsh
#

Its the same link, but under optional files

#

like, on the same tab of the mod page

mossy cape
#

in my mods folder

worn marsh
#

looks good!

mossy cape
#

baller

worn marsh
#

Now I'll show you how to check

#

You can start your game, let it boot to title screen, then read the console/log window to see if all the mods loaded (it'll tell you which ones it detects)

#

!log also has instructions

mossy cape
#

i have not installed the alpha version yet but i assume now that i have an updated content patcher that updating is also a requirement

#

one second i will knock that out

worn marsh
#

yep it is

#

and, smapi 4.0 (smapi for stardew 1.6) too

mossy cape
#

and this is all in the pinned of the 1.6 thread, correct?

I have no idea what you're referring to

#

oh its on another page

robust patrol
#

The mail framework error

worn marsh
#

my bad

robust patrol
#

Lol

worn marsh
#

to be fair, you just said "this error"

robust patrol
#

True. My bad

mossy cape
#

alright so i accessed both the beta and i installed the newest version of smapi, do i have to uninstall previous versions of the api or will it just function how i want it to

worn marsh
#

you're good, it updates itself (if you installed it properly)

#

you can try launching the game now

mossy cape
#

perfect

robust patrol
#

So any ideas?

mossy cape
#

it said error handler 3.18.6 which i assume is a smapi issue

worn marsh
#

BlueDragon, I'm assuming you've verified your game files already? checked out if any of the MFM content packs deal with weapons?

#

honestly if it's not crashing your game, I might not even worry about it

robust patrol
worn marsh
mossy cape
worn marsh
# robust patrol MFM packs?

well it's a mail framework mod issue, so I would assume it's one of the mail framework mod content packs that's causing it to look up weapons.xnb

worn marsh
# mossy cape

You can delete Error Handler from your Mods folder

robust patrol
#

Oooh I see what you mean

mossy cape
#

i don't want error handler?

worthy moth
#

It's built in now

#

It used to be a separate mod

worn marsh
#

It's integrated into stardew valley 1.6 like the message says

mossy cape
#

gotcha

#

alright here's where we're at now

#

feels like progress

#

thank you so much for your help

worn marsh
#

That's great, that means you can work on your mod now

mossy cape
#

so the fact it could not load 'example' is okay

worn marsh
#

Yeah, it's just saying you don't have anything in your mod to look at, which is true

mossy cape
#

gotcha

#

should i build off my example mod folder then

#

i figure that wouldn't present any issues

worn marsh
#

Yeah, you can just edit it to make it a real mod

mossy cape
#

lets goooo

robust patrol
worn marsh
#

Don't edit what's inside your game files

robust patrol
#

Not even capitalisation?

worn marsh
#

No

#

you may break things

robust patrol
#

Ah. Ok

worn marsh
#

if you think its wrong, you can delete the file and then use steam to reverify your game files

#

it'll detect the missing file and restore it

#

So whatever is restored will be the correct one

#

!verify

#

hm

robust patrol
#

Yeah.

mossy cape
robust patrol
#

I'm pretty sure it IS the original file anyway

#

But I can do that just to make sure

worn marsh
#

I'm also kinda thinking it's the original file and that this is a mod issue instead

robust patrol
#

If it is the original file, will capitalisation do anything?

worn marsh
#

but I wouldnt know which mod unless someone checks out all of the MFM content pack pages

#

no idea

lament vortex
native dragonBOT
lament vortex
#

some commands are not quite as obvious 😆

robust patrol
#

And it is only for one file

robust patrol
#

So changing it will mess everything up

#

So definitely a mod issue of some kind

worn marsh
#

MFM seems to have similar bugs on its page, so you can report it and see what the author says. But it may not be updated, since CP can send mail in 1.6

robust patrol
#

And one of the creators (Clown)

Doesn't mod for the Steamdeck specifically.

#

Or Linux in general

#

So they have made the capitalisation error a few times

#

And it is one of their older mods I recently downloaded

#

Although

#

I will say. It is easy to forget the capitalisation rule.

#

As I always capitalise when I can

worthy moth
#

In a lot of cases, SMAPI tries to make things case-insensitive

robust patrol
#

So I don't blame them for it honestly

robust patrol
worn marsh
#

If you know that its probably 1 of 2 mods, you can use filesearch to search for "weapons" inside all their files

#

at least on windows, searching inside files is a thing

robust patrol
worthy moth
#

If you have VSCode, it's possible to search all files within a folder/subfolders by its content. You can even do case sensitive searches and regular expressions.

worn marsh
#

yeah, that's what I mean

#

but the MFM submod is probably going to have one text document anyways, so you could open that and search it conventionally if you dont have the option

robust patrol
#

Yeah

robust patrol
#

I have no idea lol

#

I can't figure it out

#

Oh well

#

i not sure if this makes sense but if i have two laptops that i play the same save file on and i download a few mods that add new content (like new rooms and items. SVE in this case.). on only one laptop but not the other, how exactly would that affect the game if i then play on the laptop that doesn’t have those specific mods downloaded?
would things just look out of place and funky?
im not very tech savvy and don’t want to risk breaking my save.

dusty spruce
#

if you don't even install SMAPI on one of them, that save will not work

#

at the very least you'd need SMAPI (and specifically the Error Handler mod it comes with)

#

if you do THAT though, you'll keep losing any mod-specific progress each time you play with that save on the non-modded machine

#

well, probably not all, depending on how the mod stores its data. but definitely some

weird question but can mods cause like your system to lag? Like I only have upwards of around 70 mods installed but when I want to do anything thats not stardew it lags? are my mods causing this?

robust bison
#

if you have enough mods where it's putting a significant strain on your CPU other parts of your system can take longer to function

viral sky
#

So if I'm running Stardew with all my mods and my CPU is staying at 100% then uhm I'm gonna assume yes

#

would I have to uninstall my mods if I wanted other things to run smoother? Or is this like permanent

#

The characters don’t even show up☠️

#

And this is my how loading screen looks like now

#

I also don’t know what it means by manifest file

wicked glacier
#

Basically, it means whatever portrait mod you downloaded doesn't have a manifest.json file. It's a file that's necessary for the code of every mod.

#

Have you checked the folder to see if the manifest is there at all?

#

It could be using a different extension.

midnight vector
#

it was a cottage one and a color shade one i think a texture one too but i dont think that was part of the Dcburger

Put the cottage and texture ones back; the colourshade one has a different installation procedure than basically any other Stardew mod and you should follow the instructions on its Nexus page if you want to install it

#

Also, install Portraiture

#

(the cottage and texture ones were presumably irrelevant to the error but you probably want them since you installed them in the first place)

Install Portraiture, reinstall cottage, I recommend following the governor's advice and deleting pytk.

To summarize

Download Portraiture. Read the mod page for the Natural Color reshader.

Delete Pytk, change any manifests that say they require it from true to false.

also also what do you mean by "i deactivated the smapi from steam"?

restive flicker
#

you know when you put the link on the game properties, i've tried removing it too but my game is still not responding

naive drum
#

You removed that while the game was running?

restive flicker
#

no, i close the game before doing any changes to the file

naive drum
#

ah. yeah put that back but also

#

!reset

native dragonBOT
naive drum
#

since if you remove that, and are still launching Stardew via Steam, you're launching a completely vanilla unmodded game and it should not affect it at all assuming you aren't trying to load a save with any non-cosmetic mods

#

if you are trying to load a save with any non-cosmetic mods in vanilla: don't do that it won't work

NVM YALL I GOT EVERYTHING TO WORK OUT

idk if the screen shot got the reshade but i was able to install it lol

i'll be back with updates

it worked! still a bit slow but def better than before, maybe i'll try using fastloads after this

@stark horizon Apparently it works well, the game no longer crashes, I had to remove 1 more mod, the bad thing is that the confi menu doesn't work, it appears but I can't do anything hehehe, and I'm using the mod guide that yes they are working on android

Hello i'm new, I really don't know if it is allowed but I would like you to help me with a mod that I downloaded and it does not appear in the game, it is about xtardew valley, if it is allowed to talk about this, could you help me?

stark horizon
#

Hi, unfortunately that mod violates server rules and we can't discuss it. However, I might be able to troubleshoot the issue.

#

!log please

native dragonBOT
#

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.

lean star
#

to be precise, discussing the mod's contents explicitly violates server rules, as long as what you write here is SFW you're fine

Hey so I was playing co-op with a friend and for some reason our farm and the day/season reset? Everything else is the same, well for me since I was the host but not for him since when the farm reset he didn’t have a house. I have the same money, the same friendship with everyone, the same quests (expect for the introduction one which for some reason started over?) and all the things we had unlocked are still unlocked

#

I also have the same skills and everything, we do play with mods but I’m not sure if this is a base game problem or if it’s something with the mods since they never gave us any problem

Hello

#

Where can i put mod in stardew valley

#

I know it might be a stupid question

limpid musk
#

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\mods

#

I don’t know if i can put it right in the folder mod or somewhere ..

…

#

Ah no my bad i understand now

#

🤡

limpid musk
#

go to the stardew's steam setting and launch options and paste this there : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

dire fractal
#

« missing performer » ect

naive drum
#

You typed the launch options wrong, e.g. not including the quotation marks

dire fractal
#

Ah

#

Ok but what can i do now

naive drum
#

Or possibly your Steam library is on your D drive or something. the SMAPI installer tells you exactly what to put in your launch options when it's done running - run it again if you need to check

limpid musk
#

yeah probably

i just shared the general location

Uhhh have her run the SMAPI installer again to get Error Handler back

limpid musk
#

and then get a new log?

naive drum
#

Something else is probably wrong but without Error Handler it's harder to find out what

#

yeah

limpid musk
#

ok thx

dire fractal
#

I just installed and didn't touch anything because I saw that it was going to install automatically

naive drum
#

You pressed the buttons it told you to press, right?

#

Then when it got the green ending text it gives you the correct launch option (it has a whole line to itself so you can copy-paste that whole line)

dire fractal
#

I have this

naive drum
#

That....uh. Hmm. I think that's the readme file and not the installer?

#

Yeah, that's the readme. That's not the installer.

#

You're on Windows, right?

dire fractal
#

Yes

naive drum
#

Double-click Install on Windows.bat

dire fractal
#

I don’t have windows.bat it’s juste install on windows

naive drum
#

Yeah that's the one

#

You have the file extensions all hidden

dire fractal
#

Ok

dire fractal
naive drum
#

Anywhere

dire fractal
#

Oh ok

naive drum
#

Usually, you have take things out of a zip to do anything with them

#

For Stardew in particular you don't want loose files - things are in folders in zips and you take the folder out to put it somewhere

dire fractal
#

Oh ok

#

I did it and now ?

naive drum
#

(your Mods folder for mods, pretty much anywhere for the SMAPI installer, etc)

dire fractal
dire fractal
naive drum
#

?

dire fractal
#

Is it right ?

naive drum
#

You ran the installer, followed its instructions, and got the green success text right?

#

Yes that's right

#

as it says, press 1 to install SMAPI to the location it found your Stardew in

dire fractal
naive drum
#

It doesn't say that at all

dire fractal
#

If i don’t use it

#

Ok whatever i have it now thank you

#

Can you explain me where i should put my mod ?

naive drum
#

In the Mods folder in the Stardew Valley folder

dire fractal
#

can I create a folder in the mod folder?

naive drum
#

Put the unzipped mods in there

dire fractal
#

Ok

naive drum
#

also just to confirm: you pressed 1 on the screen you screenshotted, then pressed 1 again on the choice of "install or uninstall", then got something like this right?

image.png
dire fractal
#

Yes

naive drum
#

OK good

#

the second line of green text is what goes into your launch options

Also the Random NPCs part of Market Day seems to be failing, disable it

market days right?

naive drum
#

yeah

#

the Random NPCs part of Market Day can be turned off

iron jewel
#

Ok i fixed the Error Handler, but where do I disable the Random NPC ?

#

there is no Mod installed

#

or is it in a config file?

naive drum
#

Config file iirc

iron jewel
#

ok found that I have to delete the Random NPC folder inside the Market Day, but I'm not sure if market day will work then

#

Also, when i host the game, everything works fine, but joined people get the error, so I'm trying to troubleshoot the thing with on Friend hosting the game, so I get the errors... Wonder if Market Day works on MP SDVpufferthink

#

maybe i have to kick it until it works again

naive drum
#

deleting the Random NPC folder should work?

iron jewel
#

but can we Sell items to Npcs then?

naive drum
#

idk how market day works but as far as i can tell it is designed to be able to work without the random NPCs feature

#

just without the randomly generated extra NPCs

iron jewel
#

oh, so market day will just take the already existing ones instead of creating "random" npcs

#

hm, guess we will try that otherwise we kick it and play without! 😄

Thanks for the help! SDVemoteheart

for some reason, NET hates hat

O.o how would that cause this problem

if the DLL had a space, sure

but the folder?

must be SMAPI trimming some paths

I think it's NET being windows-first

because it's not valid to end a path with a space on Windows

icy trail
#

so i downloaded the file for CJB item spawner but i dont understand how to add it into my game. Im on the stardew valley wiki page but im not good with file editing or any of that so im super confused. can anyone help?

modern python
#

have you already installed smapi

icy trail
#

yes

modern python
#

did you set up launch options and stuff

#

if applicable

icy trail
#

idk how im pretty stoopid

modern python
#

!launchoptions

native dragonBOT
icy trail
#

k thanks ill let you know when ive done that

#

im confused again

#

it tells me to "copy the text" thing, but i installed it on nexus so idk

modern python
#

ok, so

#

download and install are two different things

#

did you actually run the smapi installer?

icy trail
#

idk im super confused

modern python
#

go back to the beginning of the getting started guide

icy trail
#

can you send me a link to the smapi installer?

#

ok

#

im ther

modern python
#

i cant just.. link it to you, you have to download and unzip it yourself

icy trail
#

oky

#

im at the beginning of getting starteed page

modern python
#

reread it carefully

#

make sure you clicked the link for your OS

icy trail
#

downloaded from nexus

#

how do i extract the .zip file im bad at this

modern python
#

right click it

#

there is an extract all option

icy trail
#

do i click that?

#

i clicked it and it brought up select a destination what do i do now

modern python
#

just make it go somewhere, doesnt matter where

icy trail
#

k

sacred remnant
#

extract here is fine

modern python
#

can be your downloads, desktop, whatever

icy trail
#

k its extracting

#

its extracted

#

what nowe

modern python
#

the guide tells you what to do

icy trail
#

k

#

it says: Steam

You need to launch SMAPI through Steam if you want the Steam overlay, achievements, and playtime tracking to work. (If you don't care about achievements or tracking game time, you can just launch SMAPI mascot.png StardewModdingAPI.exe in your game folder to play with mods.)

Here's how to configure it:

Keep SMAPI's installer window open.
(If you already closed it, just run it again. No need to uninstall first.)
Copy the text in the installer window that looks like this (see how to copy text):
Modding - installing SMAPI on Windows - installer Steam text.png
Make sure you copy the entire line, including both quotation marks " and the %command% part.
Your final path should look something like this: "Your path here" %command%
#

idk how to open it through steam

modern python
#

did you do the installer part, it seems like you skipped a step

icy trail
#

it asked to download smapi on nexus so i did

scarlet quail
#

It also says to install it

modern python
#

like i already said, downloading and installing are different things

scarlet quail
#

The instructions you gave are post install

modern python
#

it doesnt matter where or when you downloaded, you still have to install it

icy trail
#

imma just join a vc and share my screen and we can do it that way is that ok

scarlet quail
#

Nope

modern python
#

yeah we usually dont do vc here sorry

icy trail
#

dont have to talk but kk

sacred remnant
#

you've skipped step #4

image.png
icy trail
#

apparen5tly i did

#

redo ig

#

do i click download for nexus or direct download

modern python
#

no no no

#

you already downloaded it, you dont need to do it again

#

go to where you extracted the zip and do what step four tells you to do

sacred remnant
#

you already completed step #3 by extracting it

icy trail
#

ok

#

bruh

#

im actually dumb

#

i accidentally pressed delete fack

modern python
#

ctrl z

icy trail
#

i accidentally pressed delete fack

#

#

it redid message

#

#

k its back

#

it says this

#

Hi there! I'll help you install or remove SMAPI. Just a few questions first.
Color scheme: auto-detect

Where do you want to add or remove SMAPI?

[1] C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley
[2] Enter a custom game path.

Type the number next to your choice, then press enter.

#

what do i do

sacred remnant
#

if you've never touched your steam install locations type 1 and press enter

icy trail
#

whats a steam install location

modern python
#

just press 1

sacred remnant
#

yep, just do 1

icy trail
#

ok

#

for both?

#

becaUSE NOW it says install or uninstall i chiose install

sacred remnant
#

yes you're installing it so you choose install

icy trail
#

k im copying the text

#

copied, what now

sacred remnant
#

now you do the "configure your game client" steps you were looking at before

icy trail
#

??/

#

oh ok

#

this? You need to launch SMAPI through Steam if you want the Steam overlay, achievements, and playtime tracking to work. (If you don't care about achievements or tracking game time, you can just launch SMAPI mascot.png StardewModdingAPI.exe in your game folder to play with mods.)

sacred remnant
#

yes, follow the instructions there

icy trail
#

but how do i launch smapi through steam

sacred remnant
#

that's what the instructions are for

icy trail
#

k ill do that

modern python
#

just an fyi if all of this is too difficult theres nothing wrong with just sticking to the vanilla game. it may be better if you became more acquainted just with how computers work in general before jumping into the deep end with modding. just saying

icy trail
#

k i did everything its just taking literally forever to launch

#

ruh roh steam crashed

#

it says windows cannot find 'SMAPI", Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

sacred remnant
#

just to confirm, in the stardew launch options you put

#

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

#

correct?

icy trail
#

can you send that to me in a way i can copy that text because it put the whole SMAPI has been installed and all that

sacred remnant
#

that is the copy pastable version

icy trail
#

ah i was pressing wrong button

#

k ty'

#

wrong game

modern python
#

terraria???

languid trout
#

Terraria..?

sacred remnant
#

okay, if it popped open a console then opened stardew you've got it installed now!

lunar cipher
#

Look, I'm gonna recommend that you take a step back from Discord and just try following the steps for yourself without asking people to confirm every step you're taking. If you're unable to set up SMAPI without needing your hand held the entire way, it's unlikely you're going to be able to mod by yourself either

#

If you make a mistake with installing SMAPI, the worst that happens is that SMAPI won't work, in which case you just reinstall Stardew and start again

#

Try it for yourself and learn the skills you need before going any further

icy trail
#

either that or i dont have the mod connected and im dumb

#

unzip is the same as extract

But we will need the proper log from when you cause that error

stf is just the last mod that logged anything at a debug or higher level

Okay. That's usually a case of you didn't let it load long enough

unfortunately, bit hard to tell who is taking forever

#

tbh replace custom spouse patios with custom spouse patios redux, and if that doesn't work, randomly remove mods until it doesn't do that

#

(buff framework is the last mod that logged a line, but also, it could be literally anyone.)

I want to replicate that on 1.6 but there's not enough resource-intensive mods yet

that or SMAPI fixed it and is lightning quick

"yeah guys, sorry, Machine Status no longer works with PFM machines" sounds very bad

(fortunately i actually don't care about Data/Machines for Machine Status - i'm only using that asset to build the list of machines for config purposes)

for the IsMachine method

#

somewhere I have a fork of STF where I was trying to update it to 1.6 models

#

but after ripping out about half the mod I decided I didn't care enough to do it.

#

(doing a quick change to make it compile again? Fairly straightforward.)

#

there's a half-done event precondition->GSQ converter

is that my one

oh yeah, it's definitely a lot of work to make these frameworks use the new models

Tedious process since I don't remember the patch export/summary to use-can you list the characters on your npc social page and did you start an entirely new save after downloading Stardew Valley Expanded?

wait a little i looked on moseypound and it said i havent talked to haley and linus

#

i just talked to linus and it went up even though it said i had talked to him on my sociala page

Also I noticed you weren't using this, so it resorted to the internal Antisocial npcs mod to do it

I recommend downloading this

everytime i use spritemaster the game gets a bit laggy so i dont use it

#

Or Fastloads, because you're using visible fish and dynamic reflections on top of SVE

#

Fast loads might work if Spritemaster doesn't, but it's completely optional and don't bother wasting time on either if they don't work for you. We always get an odd one out.

Howdy! Probably a dumb question but seasonal portraits don't work with the Portraiture mod right?

To clarify on the portrait thing: Seasonals usually edit the normal stuff, so if your portraiture doesn't affect them, the seasonals win

Hey, so I downloaded a mod that was only very small, and now my game won't open. I'm on steam and it won't allow me to play. I tried deleting the mod file but sdv still won't open. what do i do!!

can you link the mod?

sure

robust bison

first things first, does SMAPI open when you launch the game?

did you install SMAPI?

I'm using SVE and RSV and my game is with a lot of lag and freezing.
I had 152 mods and removed almost all of them, but the problem persists.
There is no error in my SMAPI log and my mods are all in their last versions.
I put my SDV in the antivirus exclusion, adjusted the monitor, optimizated my PC and the drivers and made everything I saw in the Internet, but the lag and freezes are still there.
Just don't know what to do anymore.

robust bison
#

do you have spritemaster of fast loads installed?

plucky hemlock
robust bison
#

they don't

#

they kinda do the opposite

plucky hemlock

If they installed both of them, then yeah, I can see how the game would not be happy. Choose one or the other and you should be good! 🙂

plucky hemlock

They both do the same thing, which is to optimize mod load in. Any lag in-game could be the result of a number of things.

There's no error in my SMAPI log.
I parsed my log today.
There are a few mods that SMAPI says that need to be updated (Json Assets and Space Core), but the new versions in Nexus are the alphas for the 1.6 version of SDV, so I didn't make the update.

Hi! I was in here a couple nights ago asking for help trying to figure out why my Great Friends section on my perfection tracker was stuck at 99% even though I was at full hearts and thought I’d seen every event I needed to (but am less sure about that part because I added a few NPC mods that added a lot of events - I have Event Lookup, but it can be hard to tell what some of the events are).

#

Agent Lyoko suggested patch export Data/NPCDispositions to run through the list of people to see if any NPC names jumped out at me, which I did and every name looked familiar so I’m certain I’ve friended everyone, so now I’m back to wondering if I’ve missed events from the mods I’ve added. Is there a way to specifically look up events I’ve missed that I need to see for Great Friends on the perfection tracker?

stark horizon

stark horizon
#

Oh, my bad! I missed that.

gaunt gust
#

As for who is missing, no clue, I would just use Perfection Tweaker to adjust the requirement down tbh

quasi moat
#

I thought it required all the heart events, at least, but I wasn’t sure what else was needed there

stark horizon
#

To answer your original question, though, there is no easy way to get a list of events you haven't seen.

#

And tbh, the Perfection Tracker has been known to glitch out occasionally, so you could be one of the unlucky few that is subjected to that.

quasi moat
#

Gotcha, thanks! It’s just frustrating not knowing what’s keeping me from hitting that last percent there, lol

stark horizon
#

I would be frustrated, too!

#

Atra's suggestion of Perfection Tweaker is probably your best bet at this point.

quasi moat
#

Guess it’s time to download Perfection Tweaker and get to work, lol

#

Thanks, y’all!

You're welcome!

I've been trying to get SMAPI up and working for a few days but keep running into problems
I downloaded the wrong version without realizing, so i just uninstalled everything and reinstalled it with the right version but now SMAPI crashes on startup. I've read through the troubleshooting guide and haven't found anything thats worked too
This is the error i get before it closes.

#

figured id ask here cause im not sure what options i have left to fix it

robust bison
#

what version of SMAPI did you install?

gray canyon
#

4.0, i have 1.6 of stardew

modern python
#

youre sure you have 1.6? put the invite code into steam and opted into the alpha?

gray canyon
#

i thought 1.6 was the whole new update that came out not long ago

modern python
#

it is not out

#

we're on 1.5.6

gray canyon
#

damn😭

robust bison
#

you need SMAPI 3.18.6

gray canyon
#

that explains why it still wouldnt work💀
i must have had an issue with a mod then and thought it was the wrong version of SMAPI

#

cause one of the mods said it was having issues with SMAPI
but it was the mod itself im guessing

robust bison
#

you may have installed an alpha build of a mod

gray canyon
#

true, i installed a lot at once and i havent modded stardew ever before

#

probably clicked the wrong version of one

#

im using the stardew valley expanded mod

#

w the grandpas farm n everything

crimson sorrel
#

How do i find updates on 1.6

#

Release date

gray canyon
#

do i just uninstall the 4.0 SMAPI, delete it, then download the right version?

modern python
#

just download the right one

#

installing it will overwrite 4.0

Ok where do i ask

it keeps saying i can't play sve as It could't find /Users/----------/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/Resources/Content/Maps/HighlandsBackground.xnb'

The rest of my mods work, it quite confuses me

It also shows lots of lines of code.

I play on Mac, 14.2.1

If needed I can post images of the code and things

#

Ping me if you can help <3.

#

Im trying to use sve btw

modern python
#

yeah, thats an sve error

#

can you try deleting it and reinstalling?

I have reinstalled sve three times, and some mods required twice or more

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.

How do I "turn off" mods

#

Like I want the vanilla game

pallid summit
#

!playvanilla if you mean be able to do both modded and unmodded

native dragonBOT
#

Do you want to play the vanilla game after having installed SMAPI? Keep in mind that you cannot play vanilla on a previously modded save. Please use separate saves for playing vanilla vs modded Stardew! That said, there are a few ways this can be achieved:

  1. If playing the game through Steam or GOG on a Windows device, clear your launch options, then select play from your game client. See the !launchoptions command for more info.

  2. Go into your game folder and launch StardewValley.exe. See the !findmodsfolder command for more info.

  3. Change the name of your Mods folder to anything other than Mods. Then launch the game as you normally would, this will make SMAPI launch but without any mods being loaded by it.

  4. Set up SMAPI as a custom game in Steam. See the !modgroups command for more info.

pallid summit
#

if you just want to stop using mods, uninstall SMAPI

#

(and reset your game files if you changed any XNBs)

hallow grail
#

What are XNBs

native dragonBOT
#

@hallow grail You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels and share images in all channels!

pallid summit
#

the game's data files. it's good that you don't know; it probably means you didn't change any of them

hallow grail
#

Ok, and how do I clear launch options

pallid summit
#

i think you just blank out the textbox where you set them before. i don't use a client like that so i don't actually know myself

modern python
#

you are correct

hallow grail
#

What text box

pallid summit
#

!launchoptions

native dragonBOT
hallow grail
#

How do I delete smapi

#

I think that’s simpler lol

#

I don’t use mods anyways

pallid summit
#

you run the installer and choose uninstall

#

if you previously set your launch options, you may still need to clear them

hallow grail
#

I don’t think I set launch options because idk what that is

can i ask for help for parrsing json files? its not my mod but the original one had some errors

robust bison
#

!json

native dragonBOT
#

JSON is a standard format for machine-readable text files, often used by Stardew Valley mods. If you need help with a JSON file, you can upload it to https://smapi.io/json, view an automatic validation summary on that page, and share the link with others.

old adder
robust bison
#

I think some of the brackets are out of oder

pallid summit
#

VanillaShops is an array here, but after the first entry (an object), the next thing is a key-value pair as if you were in an object and not an array

# 
"VanillaShops": [
  {...},
  "ItemStocks": [ // <- can't do this here```
old adder
#

i see

pallid summit
#

what you uploaded isn't valid json, even for newtonsoft, so i expect you made an error when editing it. that's fine! it's easy to make errors

the original still have errors
