[scarlet quail]

do you have the game on steam?

[green radish]

i do yeah

[fervent saddle]

just run the 4.0.3 installer, it will remove the old version automatically

[scarlet quail]

right click the game, hit properties, go to installed files, then hit verify integrity.

[desert silo]

whats the best way to update on stardrop, just remove and reinstall?

[umbral sentinel]

thank you!

[fervent saddle]

it should be possible

can you send a screenshot of your mods folder

[fervent saddle]

ill be honest i have no clue

[green radish]

ive done the verify integrity

[fervent saddle]

let me check the stardrop website if they have instructions

Anyone know how to make socializing and binning mod work? It's not showing professions and level-ups

[zenith grotto]

So... I'm trying to download SMAPI and use mods, however when I use the Windows installer (I have a Windows laptop) this error message appears. I'm not familiar with tech stuff, so I have no idea what any of this means. I think the issue arose because I downloaded SMAPI a long time ago with a friend who is very tech-savvy, but I tried to manually get rid of the mods I downloaded previously because they A) never actually worked because I didn't configure Steam, and B) were super outdated. Any ideas?

[fervent saddle]

did you update your mod list like i asked?

[zenith grotto]

I don't know. I just downloaded from the SMAPI website, which said it was new. The old one was from months ago

[fervent saddle]

do you have a log

[fervent saddle]

can you download from nexus

[zenith grotto]

Yes that's where I downloaded it manually

[fervent saddle]

ah ok

[zenith grotto]

Then I unzipped the file it gave me and used the windows installer

[fervent saddle]

can you show me a screenshot of your stardew valley folder

[zenith grotto]

Yep. Give me a second

[polar wharf]

yup, thats the updated log

[fervent saddle]

oh sorry i must have missed it

[zenith grotto]

Wasn't exactly sure what you're looking for, but this is what I've been looking at to try and troubleshoot.

[empty furnace]

alright I've updated but the mods still aren't working as intended. Both socializing and binning skills dont show profession options and levels up at night

[fervent saddle]

the only mod i can see that could be affecting the texture is Sprites in detail. try removing that?

[zenith grotto]

No luck

[fervent saddle]

can you launch vanilla?

did you try revalidating the game files? it seems like a vanilla file is missing

[fervent saddle]

its also possible they are on the legacy version for some reason

[zenith grotto]

Yep it's running fine for me

[chilly wasp]

hey quick question, i need the launch code copy paste thing for the launch options for smapi but im not seeing it , any help

[zenith grotto]

No, but I'm not sure how to go about that

[fervent saddle]

do you know how to open the properties of a game in steam

[zenith grotto]

Yep

[fervent saddle]

then you are 90% of the way there

[zenith grotto]

Awesome

[warm grove]

do that then go to game files section then click verify game

[fervent saddle]

can you also take a peak at the betas tab and tell me if there is anything there

[zenith grotto]

Do they reacquire automatically?

Yep

[polar wharf]

sadly didnt affect anything. guess ill poke around more on my own

[chilly wasp]

i started the game and it gave me a blank black smapi screen

Now that those files have (hopefully) been retrieved, I'm going to try again

[wintry pagoda]

tedxt will start roling where it will load the mods

[dull rain]

Idk if this makes sense but is it possible to to have smapi not be linked to my steam? I see there’s an option for a custom game path but I don’t rlly understand it

[chilly wasp]

i pressed enter then it started

[wintry pagoda]

yea

[zenith grotto]

The SMAPI is running now, thanks guys!

[fervent saddle]

totally possible

the launch options are just so when you open stardew through steam it opens smapi

if you want to avoid that leave the launch options blanks and find the StardewModdingAPI.exe in your stardew folder and make a shortcut for it

[fervent saddle]

did you install stardew valley expanded mid save?

[wintry pagoda]

no

[fervent saddle]

when was the last time you could access the save?

[calm nacelle]

hi so i installed some mods, and some of them say it's been skipped since they weren't compatible but smapi.io says they are, such as entoarox precondition utility and entoarox framework. do i send my log here?

have fun! (dont eat the monsters in the mines, they taste nasty)

[scarlet quail]

Yeah hey wait a second

[fervent saddle]

0-0

[scarlet quail]

Smapi.io doesn't say Entoarox Framework is updated

[calm nacelle]

ok here's the log https://smapi.io/log/4dea1cf06b7e49b0a345ff4a70d830de

[ivory kestrel]

So I just updated mods for 1.6. I use the [CP] DaisyNiko's Earthy Recolour. It was updated today. Is this happening for anyone else? I tried different farms. And it's still doing the same thing. It could be just the mod itself having a bug. This mod has to have SMAPI and Content Patcher, which I already have. But I wanted to see if anyone else has this mod, and it's doing the same thing to them. Thanks in advance!

[kindred herald]

Hello, I'm looking for someone who can help me with updating a mod.

[fervent saddle]

what are your questions

[wintry pagoda]

banana, do u know who can maybe help me?

[fervent saddle]

someone with a neon green name most likely

they know how to sniff out unexplained crashes

[kindred herald]

I'm simply looking for help updating a mod. I'm very new to making mods and I don't really know how to fix one without its creator.

[wintry pagoda]

how do i get their attention without pinging?

[fervent saddle]

they come and go like the wind

[ivory kestrel]

I'm confused? Sorry.

[fervent saddle]

you can ask an orange name for help, and they have the balls to ping if escalating is needed

[fervent saddle]

i replied with a command that triggers the bot to give a response to your issue

[ivory kestrel]

OOOHHH okay!

[fervent saddle]

so next time you see a mod author here ask them about your log

[wintry pagoda]

will i get in trouble if i myself pings ??

[fervent saddle]

you might even get lucky and an almighty dev picks up your case

[fervent saddle]

nah they are pretty chill about pings

[wintry pagoda]

ok so whos best to ping?

idk whos smart

[chilly wasp]

this massive error thing keeps happening every time i open the server, does anyone know why

@scarlet quail can we get your opinion on this log? patient claims to crash upon loading a save, SVE was not installed mid save.

[wintry pagoda]

❤️ ty banana

[fervent saddle]

(have you changed any mods since you last played?)

[wintry pagoda]

no

[scarlet quail]

to desktop or not responding?

[wintry pagoda]

huh?

[scarlet quail]

The crash.

[desert silo]

for vanilla facelift, can i turn off one of the townsfolk portraits? since i got a mod that gives eliott a different one but, i don’t wanna use the one on the facelift mod

[wintry pagoda]

i dont know what happens but it just stops working when i try to load a save

[scarlet quail]

define stops working

That's what I'm saying.

Explain it to me like I know nothing about computers and need you to paint me a picture of it

[wintry pagoda]

it just stops. it says smapi is not responding

vanilla works, but smapi dosent

[chilly wasp]

does this work or naur

[scarlet quail]

This is what I needed.

So to answer my question, it's "not responding"

In this case, click on your file, then don't do anything with your computer at all for, say, 3 minutes?

[scarlet quail]

Put that in the parser and for goodness sake in the future use regular SMAPI XD

[wintry pagoda]

yea. i can be waiting for 10+ mins andd still nothing

[fervent saddle]

👀

[scarlet quail]

Just.... do it, please.

I'm not asking you to do it for no reason

[wintry pagoda]

what do i need to do? just run the game again?

[chilly wasp]

i tried to follow the tutorial it had posted and it almost crashed my laptop

[wooden fjord]

@oak forum So I tried a lattice fence mod, and it had the same issue. It has to be all connected with one of the mods I have. I'm gonna keep trying

[fervent saddle]

just run it, open the save and leave it for like 15 min

[wintry pagoda]

ok

[chilly wasp]

is anyone able to tell me whats wrong

[oak forum]

okay grab me a log and let me scan it again

[fervent saddle]

you installed developer smapi somehow

[fervent saddle]

sorry i forgot to reply #making-mods-general

[sacred harbor]

why does this happen like 30% of the time i open smapi, even though i havent moved anything or touched anything?

[fervent saddle]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2400 just click the manual download button

[scarlet quail]

So I'm actually curious about this myself since it's happened several times to me recently. @tired brook any quick insights as to why, even though it's fixed upon restarting the game?

[wintry pagoda]

sameee i get that too

[fervent saddle]

beany look

its the creator of smapi

[wintry pagoda]

lmao i know who they are

[fervent saddle]

[tired brook]

That happens when there's a game update. Due to how .NET works, SMAPI needs to specify the DLL versions it needs to load; so the first time you launch SMAPI after a game update, the list doesn't match the actual DLLs anymore, so SMAPI needs to recreate that list (i.e. copy the game's list) before it can load successfully.

[bold dune]

If anybody is smart with smapi and can help me figure something out please help me. My wife and I cant figure out whats happening..

[wooden fjord]

I get this too

[wintry pagoda]

pathoschild is sdv modding god lmao

[scarlet quail]

The thing is, based on what snails is saying, it's happened multiple times

[oak forum]

okay nothing is screaming out to me SO time for the "fun" way of determing the issue

[scarlet quail]

... well, in my case I can, but that's because I'm crazy and swap legacy/regular branches

[oak forum]

50/50

You'll want to disable half your mods

play game

if issue then its that half, if no issue other half

[wooden fjord]

Ahhh okay

[oak forum]

repeat until we find the mod

[wooden fjord]

How can I disable them?

[sacred harbor]

eh to be fair the game has updated a few times, and i only open it about once per day so i could be overestimating the amount of times its happened

[oak forum]

do you use a mod manager like stardrop?

or do you manually mod?

[scarlet quail]

Well, in that case we're good

[wooden fjord]

I use manual

[winged vessel]

You can move half out of the mods folder

[wooden fjord]

True

[winged vessel]

Hi Pathos!

[oak forum]

either move them like musubi cat said or put a . in the name

so mod becomes .mod

[wooden fjord]

Oh that's a good idea

[winged vessel]

Thank you for using my legal name Riot

you have to delete one.

[scarlet quail]

if you started the file load, how are you typing to us?

Lol I don't know what that means.

[scarlet quail]

[wintry pagoda]

I mean same 😂 I'm always un responsive but always over thinking

[bold dune]

I dont know how to upload the smapi log...What happened was I installed the new smapi, SDV kept opening up with the old smapi so it wouldnt open. So i deleted all of my stardew valley files and extracted smapi into SDV...and now the game keeps saying it cant find the path when I ope it up and the line could under properties is what its supposed to be which is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

[oak forum]

okay go to the link in the message I sent

[scarlet quail]

This image makes it pretty simple to solve, though. Install Fashion Sense.

and watch the video I linked on how to parse and send it

[fervent saddle]

judging by the message i dont think there is a log...

[oak forum]

you deleted the full game?

it says the folder is empty. Probably cause i deleted all of the files maybe..

[modern python]

@fervent saddle please do not comment if you do not intend on helping.

[scarlet quail]

it's a normal steam library path though

[oak forum]

Yea. Wiggles do you know why it's on your E drive?

OPE wrong person to reply

[scarlet quail]

when you run the SMAPI installer, what does it say?

[bold dune]

If i delete the modded API in the file path then it opens but its just normal SDV.

okay can we try running the smapi installer

double click the one that says install on windows

[fervent saddle]

i help when i can

[languid trout]

This is what you're entering.

This is not the file path you just showed us.

[bold dune]

And I went through the steps.

[modern python]

ok the unnecessary chatter doesnt help though, so please limit your comments to actual help.

[bold dune]

That’s what I have typed in and it’s still saying it

[languid trout]

(Sorry, busy, but basically you want to copy THIS File path

[oak forum]

yes and what Chirps is saying is it's not right for you

see how yours is in the E drive

NOT C

[bold dune]

I also tried changing it to E a bit ago..Ill try it again

[oak forum]

no no wait wiggles please

I think Chirps is typing it for you

[scarlet quail]

May I cut in here and simplify this, if Chirps doesn't?

[oak forum]

yes please ^_^

[bold dune]

Okay. Sorry..I remember going through similar crap a long time ago with the same problem..had to update the smapi and then all of this happened.

[scarlet quail]

• Stardew is on your E drive. Use 1 to install it.
• After doing so, for launch options, you'll need "E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

finish the installer first.

Then copy paste those launch options into the launch options field

[wintry pagoda]

OK the file still didn't load

Still says not responding

I stress it since a lot... don't

[bold dune]

That worked and the game is running with the new smapi so THANK YOU. Why is my path different than my wifes? She has to update her smapi to. Hers is on her C drive though so is her path the other one? the "C:\programfiles one??

[scarlet quail]

Because for whatever reason you installed Stardew to your E drive

rather than your C

Why? I don't know, that's your computer business XD

so beany

You're never going to believe me

But it was working

However, at the same time, what the actual fuck

[fervent saddle]

according to the log it was still loading. it started at 3:00 and was still loading SVE stuff at 3:25

[wintry pagoda]

If it was working I'd be on the game, but I'm not, so it's not working 😂

[bold dune]

Thank you for the help everybody. 🙂 GREATLY appreciate it.

[scarlet quail]

No this is why I said what the fuck

See Banana's comment

[oak forum]

Did you get it working?

[scarlet quail]

it was literally taking years to load

like if you let it sit for a full hour, it might load

[wintry pagoda]

OK I'll load it again, and wait half an hr

[fervent saddle]

that might not be enough

[scarlet quail]

But it should never take that long

ever

[oak forum]

You're Lyoko so I feel like you already did all the lag stuff in the troubleshooting?

Yes thankfully. I didn't know the path for a C drive was different than an E. I tried googling it but everything kept saying the C drive path.

[wintry pagoda]

My shitty glorified toaster and shitty McDonald's WiFi is showing 😂

[languid trout]

I checked the raw log.

[oak forum]

That's where they normally go which is why we were all confused

[languid trout]

It gets weirder.

Each individual asset is taking 4-5 seconds to load individually.

[fervent saddle]

your processor is from 2012, mine is from 2007 and it is still faster than this with SVE + RSV

Oh Lol I'll remeber this for later. We are going to update my wifes smapi tomorrow and hers is on her c drive so hopefully it works smoothly. If not I'll be back for help .^.^ And it's cool we got it figured out. I was going nuts for the last hour. Lol

[oak forum]

Yea this channel will still be here! We got ya working though! By we I mean Chirps and Lyoko 😆

[wintry pagoda]

This will be my screen for the next he then 😂👌

[languid trout]

(Everyone else is doing most of the heavy lifting while I'm fighting for time to even playing the game rn. Don't thank me.)

[fervent saddle]

i wonder if deleting and reinstalling sve will help

[wintry pagoda]

Nope, done that before already

[fervent saddle]

nuts

[languid trout]

You'e probably going to not be happy to learn that 95% of your load time in the raw log is SVE assets.

How does the game load WITHOUT sve? Like starting a new farm?

[wintry pagoda]

Hmmm sp would it be fine if I just don't use expanded?

[languid trout]

It theoretically should. But I don't see why SVE would cause this issue.

But at least 20 of those minutes were SVE.

[fervent saddle]

how much ram do you have beany

[wintry pagoda]

Sdv loaded when running vanilla, still took 20 Minto load but it did load eventually

[wintry pagoda]

Absolutely no clue. Idk PC shit hahaha

[fervent saddle]

sdv expansions take a very long time to load on older computers

[wintry pagoda]

OK I'm gonna try something,

I'm gonna remove expanded all together see if it works then. If it does I'll just play without expanded I don't mind.

I mostly use expanded for sophia anyway hahahah

[fervent saddle]

aww

cute

[dire fractal]

hello!! can i ask how can u update smapi?? do u have to download the zip file again?? thank you!

[wintry pagoda]

Yes

[dire fractal]

alright, thank you so much :>

[late gull]

So im playing with a somewhat outdated npc mod but the npc has a single heart event that causes the game to freeze completely, would there be a way to skip this event entirely through the has seen event changes?

[fervent saddle]

run the installer in the zip and just follow the instructions to install, you dont have to uninstall

[dire fractal]

got this, thank you!!

[naive drum]

What kind of GPU do you have? Does it have a settings thing? Do you know of any framerate throttlers you might have?

[wintry pagoda]

Tf, in English please? 😂

[naive drum]

I'm thinking that if something was forcing it to run at some stupidly low framerate you'd get a similar "extremely slow loading" effect

[wintry pagoda]

OK so I've opened sdv without expanded, so I've had to make a new save as all the saves I have, all have expanded added. So I'll lyk if it loads a new save or not

[sharp fossil]

Run the install script again, choose update

I think its install then update but i forgork

Either way you dont have to download the whole file again, no

[naive leaf]

You have to download the 4.0.2 file installer I believe.

[fervent saddle]

4.0.3

[naive leaf]

Oh I'm behind my bad

[fervent saddle]

it came out while you were sleeping

[naive leaf]

Lmao really???

That's

[dire fractal]

thank you all for the help!! very much appreciated

[oak forum]

no! You need to sleep.

Look you can't help support if your burnt out

Quinz gotta take care of Quinz first before helping others

[wintry pagoda]

OK it worked without sve

[fervent saddle]

and only 11 minutes! congrats!

[wintry pagoda]

Yea, just have to play without expanded

[native dragon]

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

[wintry pagoda]

No biggie

[wintry pagoda]

Sweet lmao

[naive leaf]

I just woke up from sleeping!

I slept for like ... 7 hours!

[oak forum]

Yes and that's good. No being upset you slept >.>

I'll stop chattering though and clogging support 💜

[wintry pagoda]

Thank you @fervent saddle @scarlet quail @languid trout for the assistance, 🥰🩷

[naive leaf]

Okay so uh... my first issue here is

[harsh pumice]

i already fixed that

[naive leaf]

Okay coolio

[harsh pumice]

that's all gouda

[naive leaf]

I was like

[harsh pumice]

yeah no - i'm getting smarter. I did it all by myself like a big girl would

[hollow rapids]

Is the Item spawner supposed to be like this?? I was expecting alot more to come up 😭

[naive leaf]

Oh, uh. I don't think so. Lemme go get my phone rq after i help riza

[naive leaf]

You can try taking it out, but it looks like that mod is just missing files or something.

[harsh pumice]

what files?

should i just redownload it again?

[naive leaf]

Yeah, you can try doing that, and deleting the old mod!

[harsh pumice]

the buildgingerisland one right?

[naive leaf]

mhm!

[harsh pumice]

kk thanks quinz

see? I'm learning

[naive leaf]

If that doesn't work, try unplugging it entirely and seeing if that error still persists.

[harsh pumice]

mmk

[naive leaf]

Because BuildableGingerIsland IS the one throwing a fit.

I don't neccessarily understand why, other than knowing it's missing something.

[harsh pumice]

what is it missing?

[naive leaf]

Well, some of these are talking about the 'MakeSlimeAreaBuildable'

[harsh pumice]

ah I guess I can disable that feature so I don't run into that issue

[naive leaf]

I'm assuming Object reference not set to an instance of an object means that something is missing.

   at BuildableGingerIslandFarm.Utilities.GingerIslandFarmUtility.MakeSlimeAreaBuildable() in /home/mouahrara/BuildableGingerIslandFarm/Buildable Ginger Island Farm/srcs/Utilities/GingerIslandFarm.cs:line 89```

Oh! All of these errors are about the slime area

Huh.

[hollow rapids]

Nvm I got it going, I just didn't download the Android version

[naive leaf]

Ohhhh okay gotcha

Yeah mobile is tricky

I put two mods in it and it was not a fun time

CJB Item spawner and CJB Cheats

[harsh pumice]

all fixed- thanks!

Alrighty! Glad I could help! Try reporting it to the mod page!

[dire fractal]

so i installed a mod i while back called SMAPI and i haven't played the game in a while and it wont work/run/ boot up the game because of the new update 1.6 update and to trobble shoot i tried uninstalling SMAPI and this showed up

dont ask me what i did to the files. im not sure

[naive leaf]

Oh! You have to clear your launch options.

Aw well thanks anyways

I think I accidentally made it worse

how do i do that?

im not good with computers

[naive leaf]

First, let me ask how you uninstalled smapi

Did you run the smapi installer, press 1 then enter, then 2 and enter?

[dire fractal]

I forgot sorry

[naive leaf]

Okay, well download the smapi installer and do that for me, just so we know smapi is fully gone

[dire fractal]

im installing it now

[naive leaf]

Downloading or installing?

There's a difference.

[dire fractal]

There is?

[naive leaf]

Downloading is ..well downloading. You're taking it from the site. Installing is opening it and running the installing exe.

[dire fractal]

so im downloading

[harsh pumice]

so um

I know I come here a lot lol

[naive leaf]

Riizaaa... What'd you break this time (I'm kidding, what's up?)

[naive leaf]

...?

[harsh pumice]

it's aimon's fancy farmhouse which was updated today

[languid trout]

Okay guess I just gotta say grab noclip

[naive leaf]

Yeah, go get noclip, it's a mod

[harsh pumice]

me get no clip?

[naive leaf]

Go get noclip yes 😆

[harsh pumice]

ok

[naive leaf]

It'll let you go through walls

[harsh pumice]

oh but uh

what about the furniture

[naive leaf]

and you can move all your furniture

[harsh pumice]

andthe layout

oh

i guess I can do it at least until it gets fixed

i just don't want too many uh....cheat mods

[naive leaf]

noclip really isn't a cheat mod in this case :3

[native geode]

im hoping this is the right place to ask this, i read the rules and pinned so im thinking it is but my smapi (4.0.3) is flagging almost all of my mods as outdated but i just downloaded the most recent versions of all of them, does anyone know what could be causing this?

[naive leaf]

!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.

[naive leaf]

I can take a look

[harsh pumice]

i have a similiar problem- dw

[naive leaf]

Well I and others can take a look if others are around

[harsh pumice]

i just ignore it 😄

[naive leaf]

I'm going to assume those are just manifest errors.

I know NPC mr ginger has a manifest error for 1.5.9 -> 1.6.0

[harsh pumice]

some of them are also updates which i'm like THE LATEST IS THERE- WHAT DO YOU MEAN

Okay, so extract it and open the folders until you find the file that matches what OS you're on. (Windows or Mac)

oh woah

you got a lot going on here, versacshae

[dire fractal]

acctualy i might as well keep it

[native geode]

i usually dont have any trouble with it and when it popped up this time i knew it was too much for me to handle myself lol

[naive leaf]

you have to run the installer in order to get smapi

[naive leaf]

Okay so first, you need spacecore in order to use json assets...

and one question.

Are you overwriting, or deleting and inserting?

[native geode]

deleting and inserting

and i have spacecore in my mods folder too

[naive leaf]

And you're sure you're ... you're not putting these in the right folder are you?

[languid trout]

...Why do you have FeTK

And all of these are 1.5.6 versions

[dire fractal]

it works

[naive leaf]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods is the file path for mods

[native geode]

i have my mods folder for stardew pinned so i dont lose it, its the same folder they were in before

[naive leaf]

Go recheck and see if it's in the right location

[languid trout]

Show us the pin so we can see the file path.

[naive leaf]

Yeah cuz somethin ain't right here.

[native geode]

okay please hold i dont know how i have a second folder but i do

let me move things, brb

[naive leaf]

Were you using a mod manager before?

[native geode]

no i dont know how those work tbh

[naive leaf]

that's fair

[native geode]

also idek what fetk really does, i only download whatever the mod i was after requires

[languid trout]

FeTK is just...obsolete, has been for years is why.

It was replaced with Mail Framework Mod, which all major expansions use/d

Partially because it was uhh, prone to causing infinite mail loops and crashing

[native geode]

oh, i have no clue honestly i didnt start modding sdv until last year

retrying now

[dire fractal]

Can u mod and play stardew on Mac??

[naive leaf]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Mac

TLDR: Yes.

[winged vessel]

Hey since you're here so often, if you see the variant of "monobug" where people's audio lags & the game stutters heavily, can you ask them to mute their music to see if it fixes the lag issue for them?

[naive leaf]

Yeah!

Thanks

Had to quickly write down some notes on my computer's sticky notes app, so there we go.

[harsh pumice]

my farm is also wrong

i picked a really cute farm with a heart shaped pond

[naive leaf]

Oh! Okay! DO you have grandpa's farm enabled?

I saw something like that

Two content packs want to load the 'Maps/Farm' asset with the 'Exclusive' priority (Content Patcher and Grandpa's Farm). Neither will be applied. You should remove one of the content packs, or ask the authors about compatibility.

[harsh pumice]

i have the one from SVE yes

[native geode]

crisis averted, i have no idea how it happened in the first place but thank yall for helping!!!! i would've never figured that out

[harsh pumice]

but this should be it's own farm

that much I'm aware

[naive leaf]

Try turning off grandpa's farm

[harsh pumice]

um

[naive leaf]

Because grandpa's farm replaces vanilla's regular farm

[harsh pumice]

but this shouldn't be the vanilla....?

[naive leaf]

Exactly

[harsh pumice]

😦

[grim python]

does anyone have an idea how to make talkohlooeys portraits work with portiature ? 😭

[naive leaf]

and that heart pond might be replacing the vanilla one also

[harsh pumice]

will i be able to get the farm back?

can i run another save without the two interfering and messing things up?

[naive leaf]

You can run another save yes, and just swap out farm mods

you have to swap out farm mods.

[harsh pumice]

each time i do a different file!?

[naive leaf]

Yes.

The woes of manual.

[harsh pumice]

that sounds like a hassle

[naive leaf]

You can use

[harsh pumice]

i suppose this is something i need to talk about with one of the modderators?

[naive leaf]

!stardrop

[native dragon]

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

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

[inland oyster]

Stardrop!

[naive leaf]

Stardrop!

Stardrop allows profiles with different mods, and you click a button and it turns off a mod.

The only caveat... you add the mods as zip.

[harsh pumice]

....

[naive leaf]

So your unpacked mods will have to be zipped back up, or redownloaded.

[harsh pumice]

i can't just ask for like the SVE ppl or wildflower if I could just get it retweaked?

[naive leaf]

Um no because it's how mods are loaded.

[harsh pumice]

T-T huh?

[naive leaf]

Someone explain because I don't know how-

I don't know how to explain that like at all

also uh this is in the same thing but i think daisyniko's earthy tones are off...don't know if it's on them or me

!recolor

[native dragon]

1.6 added new tiles which will take some time for recolor mods to catch up on. recolors will mostly work but there will be some vanilla-looking tiles. please be patient as you wait for mod authors to update their mods

[foggy spruce]

Hey there, quick question, I just updated to 1.6.3 and even with 0 mods enabled, the game takes about 5 minutes or more to load, any idea?

No errors on SMAPI, it's up to date, yet, the game just doesn't open.
Even by running it directly from Steam without launch parameters.

[harsh pumice]

this one was just updated tho?

[naive leaf]

!recolor yeah that's an issue they'll have to fix

[native dragon]

1.6 added new tiles which will take some time for recolor mods to catch up on. recolors will mostly work but there will be some vanilla-looking tiles. please be patient as you wait for mod authors to update their mods

[harsh pumice]

ah so ignore it

welp i guess i'll go do another farm besides those 2 because idk what to do about that

[naive leaf]

you'll have to swap out the mods, remember that.

oh wait i read that wrong.

[harsh pumice]

but that sounds like such - ??

[naive leaf]

Lemme google something, hold on please.

[harsh pumice]

ok

[naive leaf]

what mod is the heart pond one?

[harsh pumice]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20974

it's cute and purty

[naive leaf]

oooh that is purty.

[harsh pumice]

ima just do vanilla til it's figured out

been trying to get the game to work all day lol

[naive leaf]

let me end my in game day and then i'll take a look to see how this one is loaded.

[harsh pumice]

no worries

[naive leaf]

if they both replace the default farm, you'll have to swap them out, which i'm going to assume you're gonna have to do that.

[harsh pumice]

i hope not

[naive leaf]

I know grandpa's farm does.

[harsh pumice]

i assume i read it as it doesn't

unless my eyes are bad

which they are because i have glasses but u get my point

[stark horizon]

Have you tried:

• resetting your startup preferences
• ensuring that you're running SDV on a dedicated graphics card

[foggy spruce]

Yes, even without launch parameters, the same behavior is present, the game is open as a process in the background, but nothing shows up.

Don't have a graphic card, but the game has opened before on this computer. Just yesterday I was able to play without issues.

I've reinstalled the game yesterday, and today just a few seconds ago. Currently checking if there's any changes.

[naive leaf]

Does vanilla open?

[stark horizon]

Startup preferences are different than launch options, and even though you may not have a graphics card per se, your computer has a graphics driver.

[harsh pumice]

vanilla is fine for me

[naive leaf]

not for you riza but thank you 😆

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...

[harsh pumice]

i'd have to go check- give me a in game day

[stark horizon]

(ignore the part about the resolution)

[foggy spruce]

The game just opened for me, but as you can see it took about 3 to 4 minutes. Now, if I try loading the game or creating a new game, the game just stays "Loading" even tho 10 minutes pass and nothing happens.

[naive leaf]

im going to plug in grandpa's farm, and see if that argues.

[harsh pumice]

ok

[stark horizon]

Please try deleting your startup preferences as I advised.

[foggy spruce]

In a sense I removed the startup -preferences file, removed the Stardew Valley - Roaming folder.

This was before uninstalling the game.

[naive leaf]

okay so they shouldn't argue. I'm gonna look at your mods list again.

[harsh pumice]

ok

[stark horizon]

Does vanilla open & run if you directly launch via the .exe?

[naive leaf]

you have a lot of farm mods apparently.

[harsh pumice]

THAT's the problem?

[harsh pumice]

i made sure none of them conflict with one another

and was asking in mods channel if forest secret and hidden forest conflict since it's made by the same creator

[naive leaf]

Okay hold on, im gonna nab someone

and pray they don't get shitty with me 😆

[harsh pumice]

oooo I'm special enough to need help 😮

[naive leaf]

well first, make sure that the farm mod appears in the character creation menu

Then if it doesn't show up, I'll grab them

[harsh pumice]

forest secrets and hidden don't no

i thought they would be fine because again same person but guess not

[harsh pumice]

don't mind uinstalling 1 over another tho

there it is 😄

[naive leaf]

Okay! Cool! You must've tried to plug in the farm mid-save I assume? (in the middle of an already created farm)?

[foggy spruce]

It opens in the background, but doesn't open. It may take around 3 to 5 minutes for it to load, same as with the API.exe

[wet python]

so i have downloaded and installed all 3 billion mods through vortex and now i want to switch to stardrop. do i need to redownload all the stuff?

[harsh pumice]

no...i started a brand new one

[naive leaf]

Yes.

[harsh pumice]

and picked the romanctic farm

[wet python]

3 billion tabs, here we goooo

[harsh pumice]

i'm not a fool to try a brand new farm mid in- too risky and dangerous

[stark horizon]

If vanilla is having the same problem, then this is more a technical issue than a mod issue. I'd advise reporting an official bug.

[naive leaf]

uhhh..hmmm lemme google something. Here in a minute I'm gonna play sdv with my s/o so i wont be around really

[harsh pumice]

kk

i'll just keep enjoying vanilla

Here, if needed.

• Report typos or translation errors here: https://forums.stardewvalley.net/forums/32/

[foggy spruce]

Right now, it just opened, but it took some time, opposite as of yesterday, which I managed to fix by removing Vortex, it greatly reduced the load time.

[real iris]

i uninstalled and reinstalled

hi! i dunno if this is a mod issue, but for some reason, theres these random patches of orange squares (which become red when it gets dark)

[naive leaf]

!recolor

[native dragon]

1.6 added new tiles which will take some time for recolor mods to catch up on. recolors will mostly work but there will be some vanilla-looking tiles. please be patient as you wait for mod authors to update their mods

[stark horizon]

!troubleshoot Please follow these steps linked

[native dragon]

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

[vale tangle]

thank you so so much!!!

[naive leaf]

okay, checking more mods... this is odd.

[harsh pumice]

hmm?

[naive leaf]

I can load into the heart pond farm just fine

[harsh pumice]

how?

can u load into grandpa fine too?

[naive leaf]

I...didnt check lmao hold on

[stark horizon]

It's generally good practice to not have multiple farm map mods in your active mods folder

[naive leaf]

In the meantime, can you take out (not delete) Forest Farm of Secrets, Hermit Isle Farm CP, and Hidden Forest Farm?

[harsh pumice]

well how was i supposed to know that

i was going to keep hermit since that one is fine- no issues encountered with it anyways

[naive leaf]

well it might be arguing with the heart pond farm, so please take it out

[harsh pumice]

sure i don't mind since i have the ginger island start

[naive leaf]

Also remove Sea Breeze Farm, Waterfall Forest 1 2 and 3, and Zenith Farm

I forgot to scroll down

[harsh pumice]

eh?

alll of them? why???

[naive leaf]

We're eliminating arguments.

Please do as I say so we can eliminate any issues.

[stark horizon]

All of those mods are competing to change the same assets

[harsh pumice]

why are they if everything is all custom?

[winged flint]

hey is anyone able to help me out? i just updated my game, i already had 1.6, but just saw there was another update now none of my mods are working and i re-did the steps listed on the wiki

[naive leaf]

Just...please, Riza?

[harsh pumice]

fine

i just don't get it at all

[stark horizon]

That's not how mods work...they edit the base game code - the farm map.

[pseudo shoal]

Anyone know how to fix this?

[naive leaf]

!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.

[naive leaf]

i know i can read it but i like having logs better

[harsh pumice]

really? Cause idk I thought extra farm ideas will be fine since stardew itself has a bunch of farms. why not custom farms?

[stark horizon]

Because the custom farms all edit the same game assets.

That's how mods work

[pseudo shoal]

what exactly am i doing?

[foggy spruce]

This has been performed.
Right now, I just restarted the computer.

Uninstalled SMAPI, verified game integrity.

Running the game, yields the same result. It's open in the background, will take some minutes, then it will load.

[naive leaf]

Follow the website instructions!

[harsh pumice]

i'm still lost but...ok? I guess it can't create a new instance?

[naive drum]

If they're editing different base game farm maps or providing new 1.6 custom farms it really should be fine?

but most farm maps are not providing brand new custom farm types

[winged flint]

.

[harsh pumice]

that's what it's doing- providing new custom farms

which is why i'm confused

[pseudo shoal]

i'm a little confused by what to do

[harsh pumice]

anyways i uninstalled the ones u wanted me to

[foggy spruce]

Just opened up, let's see if it's able to load a file.

[stark horizon]

This is looking more like a computer issue than a game issue; if this is what happens when you try to launch the vanilla game, then you either need to look at troubleshooting your computer or perhaps asking #vanilla-tech-support, since this isn't mod related.

[stark horizon]

There is a single instance of the "farm" in the game, regardless of which original vanilla map you choose. Each of these custom farm maps are competing to see which one gets to be that instance.

[naive leaf]

alright, then start a new save and try to load in the heart pond farm

[harsh pumice]

i will once my day finishes

[naive leaf]

Thank you for explaining in laymans terms, Logo... I legit don't know how to explain these things sometimes

laymance? laymans? one of the two

[stark horizon]

No problem Quinz! It can be both very complicated and very easy.

[harsh pumice]

but let me get this straight- they are trying to change the regular maps? or only 1 custom allowed? Like hunger games style only 1 lol

[stark horizon]

Only 1 custom farm will load at a single time

[harsh pumice]

wowzers

[real iris]

smapi isnt adding a mods folder

[harsh pumice]

uh then should've deleted the start at ginger island one or i guess that's fine since it's already a farm but just changing a spawning point

[stark horizon]

The game code isn't intended to replicate all of the underlying data that creates the farm

[real iris]

can someone help

[stark horizon]

What platform are you on?

[winged flint]

.

[real iris]

Mac

[pseudo shoal]

I think i did it right. please lmk if I didn't

[stark horizon]

i just followed the instructions on website and theres nothing in my error logs

[stark horizon]

Please post the log here

[stark horizon]

When you follow that path - there is no "mods" folder in MacOS?

[real iris]

nope

[pseudo shoal]

were u able to see it?

[stark horizon]

You're in the contents file

Not MacOS

Go up one folder level

[stark horizon]

Ah, I see. When you updated to the latest patch did you reinstall SMAPI?

[plucky fox]

logo, does "steam > properties > installed files > browse" work on mac?

[stark horizon]

No

[naive leaf]

sorry had to help my s/o with something

[stark horizon]

Oh wait, Brooke - it does, if you mean finding the game path via Steam

[wet python]

will i have any troubles with mods, smapi etc if my SDV is on SSD? (not where system is)

[real iris]

OH thanks dude its there

[harsh pumice]

ok back- i'll try again

[real iris]

sorry for the inconvinience

[stark horizon]

No worries!

[naive leaf]

I need the link up at the top from wher eyou uploaded the log

[winged flint]

yes i made sure to delete the old smapi i had installed previously and reinstalled

[plucky fox]

yes!! i tried sending that to them earlier but wasn't sure if it worked on mac too, thank you!

[naive leaf]

i can't english lmao

[harsh pumice]

so game code isn't supposed to replicate data even if the data is stuff that is modded so it's like...new data?

[foggy spruce]

I managed to get it to load way faster now after fiddling with it for a bit. It loads way faster and it's able to load up my save file.

Modded means "modified." It's modifying existing game code. The game code doesn't just replicate itself, that's not how game development works.

[pseudo shoal]

this should be it. i think

[naive leaf]

that's it! Thank you!

[harsh pumice]

and i guess CA only coded things to add 1 custom farm map and for others to take over the other assested farms?

[pseudo shoal]

no thank u. ❤️

[naive leaf]

Okay! So I need you to firstly completely delete and reinstall any expansion mods you may have

[stark horizon]

No, not at all, Riza. Let me see if I can make this clear. There is a single player farm in the game. There are different maps for that farm, right? If you want to add a custom map, you aren't adding a new farm, you're just changing the map.

[pseudo shoal]

expansion mods being??? stardew valley expanded??

[naive leaf]

Mhm!

[pseudo shoal]

would that be it??

[naive leaf]

What was your issue again?

[harsh pumice]

so there are 8 maps that can be changed and only a very small few customizable maps can be added?

[naive leaf]

😅

sorry i ask for logs without...yeah

[foggy spruce]

Reinstalled SMAPI, and it loaded right away, but, any idea what does it mean there's 1 mod with warnings?

[harsh pumice]

I'm completely at fault so blame me ^^;

[pseudo shoal]

Just wanted to see how I could fix this from popping up

The text in red

[naive leaf]

You will have to delete those mods. However, you have other errors which would be fixed by deleting no fence decay (you can use CJB cheats if you don't want your fence to decay) and deleting and reinstalling expanded.

Oh I see three other errors here...

[stark horizon]

The 8 vanilla maps have nothing to do with custom maps. But you can only play on one map at a time, right? You can't choose a different map every day.

You could have a thousand custom farm maps, but they would all be arguing about which one gets to be the one played.

[naive leaf]

Delete or find an update for Seasonal Garden Farmhouse V2 as well, Marie.

[real iris]

where do i get the nexus mods API key

to connect nexus to stardrop

[harsh pumice]

so it can't just have it be where for that one instant when you're playing this one map that it only counts that in the files? or is that where that other mod Quinz was showing me was about earlier?

[naive leaf]

Do not screenshot this when you get there, but CLick your nexus profile icon, click site preferences, and on the far right, select api tab and find stardew valley

[ripe turtle]

thank you. ❤️ I shall let you know that result when I do all those things.

[real iris]

thank you :)

[naive leaf]

👍 I'm gonna go play SDV with my S/O now, so I'll be busy

[harsh pumice]

farm is working- but it's interesting. I think the farm in this instance thinks it's the meadowland because I saw the meadowland furniture in there

[real iris]

what does this mean?

[stark horizon]

When you have a ton of different maps in the mods folder, the game doesn't know which one to load. That's the issue.

[harsh pumice]

ah. and you can't really code it to pick one

[stark horizon]

Nope

[harsh pumice]

even tho there's mods out there that replace certain maps?

[real iris]

also this

[ripe turtle]

Yeah, SVE always fails

has to be installed manually

[winged vessel]

(hi logo!)

[real iris]

took its own time but done

[real iris]

this shows up still

[stark horizon]

That just further complicates things because there's a big difference between "replace" and "add custom." If you have 4 mods that replace the standard farm, the game doesn't know which one to choose, and there's no way to indicate that.

So best practice is to keep the mods you aren't actively using in a separate location on your computer and just swap them out when you start a new save file.

[stark horizon]

Hi, Myuu.

[stark horizon]

I'm not familiar with Stardrop; I'm sorry!

[real iris]

alr no worries

thanks for your help

[stark horizon]

You're welcome!

[harsh pumice]

which i can do with that mod that quinnz recommended right?

[stark horizon]

I'm not sure which one she mentioned - Stardrop, perhaps?

[harsh pumice]

yeah stardrop that's what it was called

[stark horizon]

Bascially it lets you create different profiles.

[foggy spruce]

Added the mods and no issues now, it loads up right away.

[stark horizon]

So you can have a "Fairy CottageCore" profile and a "Modern Elegant" profile or whatever.

[stark horizon]

What did you do when you "fiddled around" on your computer?

I suspect that was the fix

[harsh pumice]

so u create different ppl but aren't able to play different farms all at once

alright so how many farms would u recommend a player to have mod wise before it goes haywire like mine did? So we don't run into this issue again

[foggy spruce]

What I ended up doing was, completely remove SMAPI, remove mods folder, verified the game integrity once again, run the game directly from Steam, then when I noticed it was able to open up right away I knew it was going to work from there.
Clean install SMAPI, run it, opened up right away.
Add 15 mods, and it opens up as expected.
To clarify on the mods, I unzipped the files instead of merging the old folders, to ensure its not something there causing the issue.

[pseudo shoal]

@naive leaf thank u for helping me. Everythings looking good now. happy stardewing!!!

[foggy spruce]

When I say completely remove SMAPI, I meant that I used the executable file provided to install it, to uninstall it.

[harsh pumice]

@stark horizon @naive leaf and ty both for helping me and indulging me on my curiousity. I used to work in game dev as a QA tester so these things naturally fascinate me as I want to understand the inner workings. But sadly, that also means that I somehow break every game I touch somehow, no matter how hard I try not to ^^;

[real iris]

yes

[plucky fox]

you shouldn't be trying to load in smapi-latest, i do know that for sure

[stark horizon]

Well, that's a bit odd because you'd already done those things, but I'm not going to complain! You got it working, and that's great news!

[real iris]

then what should i do

[stark horizon]

Oh no, Riza. Well, that's what support is here for!

[plucky fox]

are u using stardrop? it looked like it

[real iris]

yes

stardrop showed that message when i installed a mod

[plucky fox]

yeah def ask the pros in here, i dont use stardrop, im sorry

[real iris]

ill just manually install

thanj you

[stark horizon]

Honestly, I would only ever put one custom map or modded map in my mods folder at any given time. But if you're using Stardrop or creating modgroups, then that would be different.

[plucky fox]

it's really not bad! u just extract the mod and drag it into ur mods folder! (that u found before!)

[wet python]

Okay, I have reinstalled all the stuff through Stardrop and SMAPI. Here comes the question: I added a thingie in my Steam so SDV will launch with SMAPI and I will have achievements etc. Since I am using stardrop, should i remove the SMAPI thing and put this

[compact verge]

Have you load SMAPI without Stardrop?

[wet python]

i think I am right, but better to check it with you guys

[harsh pumice]

creating modgroups?

[muted pagoda]

changing that in the stardew settings is only if you want running it from steam.. to open stardrop

if you just run it from the chicken within stardrop it doesnt matter

[harsh pumice]

so in this new save....i found this area that can only be accessed by 1 path- try to go a different way and it doesn't work

i'm not sure where it came from

[plucky fox]

i think it's bc ur farm map doesn't have grandpa's shed built in

[stark horizon]

!modgroups

[wet python]

so all the mods will be there no matter if i will have stardrop opened?

[native dragon]

See this link for how to load different mod groups: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Can_I_have_different_mod_groups.3F

[plucky fox]

so they add a path

[muted pagoda]

if you run the game without stardrop you will get a game with whatever's currently in the mod folder

[harsh pumice]

yeah that was what i was wondering

wondering and thinking

[muted pagoda]

which stardrop doesnt directly use, it simlinks to a seperate folder

[stark horizon]

This is from SVE - Grandpa's Farm. Another consequence of having multiple competing maps - this one adds a separate area, but it's not accessible because it's missing the transition warps

[plucky fox]

i have sve with the meadowlands farm and it's the same for me :)

[harsh pumice]

oh thanks brooke- i feel more relieved

[muted pagoda]

basically if you run smapi from steam without stardrop you will get all mods you have installed, not just the ones enabled, generally

[plucky fox]

i don't think it's a bad thing? to my understanding it's just a separate area instead of being on ur farm!

[wet python]

okay, I understand, thank you!

[harsh pumice]

yeah i don't see that as a bad thing- just something to plan around

[dreamy ibex]

Downloaded SMAPI on Android to start my modding process all over again - I can't open Stardew. Instantly crashes every time

[muted pagoda]

the way it does enable/disabling is it has a folder that it makes symlinks to your mod folders, of only the ones that are enabled

[naive drum]

!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. 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.

[muted pagoda]

that way it doesnt have to play games with extra copies of mods and stuff

[harsh pumice]

seems like downloading stardrop would make it easier to have multiple maps then- but modgroups would probably be best right?

[muted pagoda]

you can do profiles in stardrop

which does more or less the same thing, with seperate configs if you really want

[wet python]

okaaaay, makes sense
oof, I have a lot more stuff to figure out i guess

[harsh pumice]

ah so if I really wanted a certain aesthetic but one clashes with another, i can just put it into another config

[stark horizon]

Yes 🙂

Stardrop is basically an application that handles modgroups

[muted pagoda]

installing sve into stardrop from nexus works just fine incidently, though it does take a couple of minutes because it does have to actually download the 300 someodd mb

[stark horizon]

We don't typically recommend modgroups to new modded players - they're a bit more complicated.

(from a use-the-computer standpoint)

[harsh pumice]

yeah i'm still pretty new. but i do have a game dev and QA tester background

idk if that would help though

[jade forge]

Definitely would

Stardrop is great just for helping keep your stuff up-to-date and logging incompatibilities between your mods, but yeah, setting up mod profiles is pretty handy too

[harsh pumice]

i suppose i'll give it a go once i'm more acustomied to the mods i have. that way i can understand everything as best as posisble

[stark horizon]

Good plan, Riza!

[muted pagoda]

its pretty straightforward, it reads whats in your mod folder, and you can just dump zip files onto its window

[harsh pumice]

yeah- need to focus on other important stuff- like finding a place to live and a job ^^;

[muted pagoda]

connecting it to nexus is slightly more involved, but is mostly just logging in and getting your id thing

[dreamy ibex]

Is there a guide on how to mod SDVE on mobile?

[real iris]

youtube most likely

[plucky fox]

this is probably a silly question, but what exactly does json assets do? and is it safe for 1.6? i think it's just that i could run into issues if i were to delete anything, but wanted to check here!

[twilit heart]

hey guys

every time i try to open up stardew it automatically shuts down

the first time i tried launching, i got a short notice surrounding smth to do with the mods that i've installed and it shut down

but now nothing shows up

the game just immediately closes

and idrk how to fix it

[winged vessel]

do you have a SMAPI log?

!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.

[twilit heart]

:O

it's been like 2-3 years since i've touched the mods folder so it'll take me some time to refigure everything :(

[twilit heart]

so confused

i reinstalled SMAPI and its not changing anything

and the error handler mod doesnt show up when i search for it on nexus

[round loom]

You need to install the newest smapi, which is 4.0.3

[shy orbit]

it's used to add items to the game. it's updated for 1.6 and should be fine to use if any of your mods need it. if you remove it and run the game you can see from the smapi log (in smapi.io/log) if anything refuses to load because JA isn't installed

[remote epoch]

error handler been weird recently.. my SMAPI keeps telling me in the console to delete it

[twilit heart]

done that

it hasnt changed anything

[round loom]

Because error handler is now a part of smapi instead of a separated mod

[remote epoch]

oh

[round loom]

So if you're playing 1.6, there should be no error handler folder in your mod folder

[dreamy ibex]

So close but SDVE won't work for me on android. Can anyone help?

[summer swan]

You're trying to use SVE for 1.6 but on mobile it's SDV 1.5.6. You need to use the version of SVE for 1.5.6.

[twilit heart]

stardew's back up and running

but what should i do if i want to uninstall all my mods?

[plucky fox]

u can move them all out of the mods folder, probably backup ur save first tho

[twilit heart]

i backed up my stardew progress a couple of minutes ago

[summer swan]

Or you can make a new folder inside the mods folder called .disabled (or whatever - important part is the . in front of the name) and move everything there. A . in front of the name disables the mod.

[twilit heart]

a steam discussion board user has said to just delete and reinstall the sdv game folder and reinstall

or does just deleting the mods folder work as well?

[summer swan]

What exactly do you want to do?

[dreamy ibex]

On Nexus would that be Stardew Valley Expanded- (1.5.6 Legacy)? Or what version number do I need, do you know?

[summer swan]

That should be the one.

[dreamy ibex]

Thanks, trying it now

[twilit heart]

remove all mods

i deleted the mod folder and uninstalled SMAPI

[summer swan]

Then all your mods are gone.

[summer swan]

Yes, because you've to remove the launch options in Steam too. 🙂

[twilit heart]

:O

how would i do that?

sorry for all the nagging

[summer swan]

Righclick on the game in Steam -> Options. It's the bottom of the first tab.

[winged vessel]

!missingexecutable

[native dragon]

Check that your Launch Options on Steam is clear. This part should be empty. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1204201642883551245/1219756117983363152/image.webp?ex=660c7568&is=65fa0068&hm=2e113e47de5f9d9e0bff9d7c0bcdce0824d29ff5259e18b0a957a41d939e3e3f&

[summer swan]

Because otherwise the game tries to start SMAPI's exe which isn't there.

[twilit heart]

ohhh

[pure moon]

if i uninstall smapi .. will it also delete the mods folder along with my mods? coz smapi has an update

[summer swan]

You don't need to uninstall SMAPI to update it unless there's an issue.
