here

if you scroll down you'll see that it says that I should remove it

[cosmic quarry]

The one where it says error galaxy aurth failure?

[dire fractal]

No

Like it says the expanded code

[cosmic quarry]

No, you gotta do the whole log thing again,

I'm not seeing it in there,

[dire fractal]

This was me redoing it

[cosmic quarry]

Oh wait, you mean where it says "These mods directly change the game code. They're more likely to cause errors or bugs in-game; if your game has issues, try removing these first. Otherwise you can ignore this warning."?

[dire fractal]

Yea

[cosmic quarry]

Oh, ok yeah now I'm on the same page as you. It's not actually giving you an error or anything, it's just letting you know that if you're playing the game, and something isn't working right, like... let's say for example, you bought a parsnip, then it turned into a emerald, and crashed the game,
That the most likely mods that caused that error where those that are listed under it.
If when playing the game, you don't see anything causing issues. Or nothing particularly out of the ordinary (see my example about the parsnip)
Then you don't need to worry about them. The only color you're really gonna need to watch out for on smapi's logs are the red ones.
White means it's working as expected, purple means something could be updated,
Yellow is just the smapi highlighting something it wants you to know (a heads up sort of thing)
And red means something broke.

The yellow isn't actually a problem, it's just there to let you know what mods are so invasive that they change how the game is fundamentally running.
Ultimately, if you don't run into any obvious issues, then you dont need to worry about it.
Just look out for giant batches or red text. That's the stuff you gotta worry about.

[dire fractal]

Oh okay thank you for all of your help!

[cosmic quarry]

No problem, that's what we are here for!

[orchid fulcrum]

I can't seem to click on the box of the tower in the deep woods even if I have all the items already. Is there a way to complete it by using code or something?

[cosmic quarry]

I... don't actually know.
I mean, yeah, there is definitely a way to modify code to make it happen, but that's not my area of expertise...
(Just wanted to make sure you knew you were seen, and weren't being ignored, I just can't help on this front.)

[orchid fulcrum]

No worries. Anyway this is the picture. The box with question mark on top can't be clicked

[vale kelp]

@cosmic quarryi'm back so i have updated every single one of my mods, i do not see any purple texts so that is good i assume, here is my newest log https://smapi.io/log/c19407b02c084bd886f78bdc22305b77

my current problem is my farmer having mismatched skincolor as seen in the image. the issue is caused by seasonal cute characters mod because the issue was resolved when i removed it from my game. i just reopened the game and the same thing persisted even with updated mods so idk what to do but if you (or anyone) could take a look it'd be appreciated

if nothing works i can just remove it but ideally i'd like to play with the mod lol

[hasty flume]

did you disable the farmer body options in the mod menu?

bc that there looks like sca's farmer shoes to me

[cosmic quarry]

You mean their arms?

[vale kelp]

i don't see a farmer body, but there is a farmer base?

[hasty flume]

thats it, disable that

[vale kelp]

yes, my farmer is originally tan

ooh okay

😭 okay, it did work! turns out it's just a setting... sorry for the incovenience everyone!

[hasty flume]

WAIT I THINK I GOT IT

its a conflict

[vale kelp]

what conflict?

[hasty flume]

cab's soft recolor also has farmer edits

theyre clashing

from the modpage

[vale kelp]

that..makes so much sense. so.. i should disable from cab's mod? or either is fine?

[hasty flume]

either or, but you can only have one

[vale kelp]

i gotchu

thanks all and sorry for taking up your time

[hasty flume]

its fine man, it was a fairly easy fix

[cosmic quarry]

For figuring this out when I certainly couldn't. With the power invested in me(litterally none whatsoever) I dub thee the log lord. fixer of clashing mods.

[opal drift]

hey i just started dipping my toes in mods

does anyone wanna help me config a certain mod that i have no idea how to ;-;

[cold nimbus]

Are you asking how to change a mod's config options?

[opal drift]

yea

for elle's seasonal buildings

[wet pagoda]

can someone help me with this? I cant see some items

[cold nimbus]

So there's two ways you can do it: either by editing the config file itself (in an editor like vscode, notepad etc) or, if you have Generic Mod Config Menu (GMCM) (which is a mod that lets you configure it in-game), by using that. GMCM can make it easier to see what options are available, but it's entirely optional. Which way would you like to do it? @opal drift

GMCM is here if you'd like to take a look at it: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5098

Please share your SMAPI log file. To do so:

1. Open this page: smapi.io/log.
2. Follow the instructions at the top of the page to upload the log file. (Don't copy & paste from the console window!)
3. After uploading, it will show a green box with a URL to share. Post that URL here.

Please do it even if you don't see any errors. This has useful info like what mods and versions you have, what the mods are doing, etc.

To use this command, type !log.

[winged vessel]

This looks like a mod mismatch issue

!mpmods

[native dragon]

You can mod your multiplayer games, but to avoid any hiccups, all players' mod lists need to match. If players have too many mismatched mods, you will experience bugs in your game - even if the mods were working fine earlier, there is no guarantee that they will stay that way, and strange things may start occurring. There are a few exceptions to this - cosmetic mods usually work fine with no glitches, and some C# mods work as well. Mods often include information on whether or not they work in multiplayer in their descriptions. However, in general, your mod lists should match exactly.

[hasty flume]

hey whats up with that file location?

[vapid raven]

P2P

[spring rain]

is it because i have the skins and the one without the word skins? I checked the content and theyre the same but idk

[vapid raven]

Uh, no, SMAPI in general doesn't go there. It goes in the root folder of Stardew

[spring rain]

i put them in a folder for organising

oh

the app runs and it has two skins but the rest wont show

[vapid raven]

Make sure to look at the following up there.

And just use either the skins version or regular version

[hasty flume]

yeah the multiple copies are conflicting with each other

[pliant jolt]

so how can i detemine them

[vapid raven]

Place Smapi in the root folder of Stardew, use the skins version of Pet and Farm animal facelift

if thats the installer it doesnt even need to be there. i keep that in my downloads

[pliant jolt]

still i cant find what causes accident

[winged vessel]

looks like you have spacecore and the host doesn't

again, you should be comparing SMAPI logs between yourself & the host

so you need theirs as well

[pliant jolt]

how is this possible i send my mod folder directly to host

[inland oyster]

Dont do that

Thats mod piracy

[winged vessel]

I do not know. Upload their log and we can see

[pliant jolt]

true but she is 10 yo

sooo

[winged vessel]

Honestly the answer seems to be that she's not running SMAPI at all

[hasty flume]

now im just wondering why the 10 year old is the host but whatever. we still cant know anything without her log

she may need some more help to play modded

[winged vessel]

Your log is not showing that the host has a mod context, so more than likely they're not running SMAPI.

[pliant jolt]

it is not possible .-.

[winged vessel]

Well, without the log, I cannot tell you what is or isn't possible

[hasty flume]

are you in the room with her? are you physically seeing her open smapi?

[pliant jolt]

yup timezone issues i want hers log when shes wake up

[winged vessel]

But from your log alone, it appears that she's running vanilla

04:31:05    TRACE    SMAPI    Received connection for vanilla host -7223672802244424154.

[hasty flume]

if not, then its entirely possible she just doesnt understand modded play enough to understand that she needs to open a separate program

[spring rain]

Hi! Thanks for helping earlier, i figured it out, i just had to delete the two files without the words "skin" in them. Sorted now

[nocturne spade]

Hello again, thanks a lot for the help! I found out whats the issue !

apparently there is an Anti-cheat program by Riot Games called Riot Vanguard, It was the cause !!! after uninstalling it (closing didnt work) SMAPI Runs normally now, no need for fresh windows installation!!!!

So for Whoever plays League of Legends or Valorant, keep that in mind to run SMAPI!

Sharing this so people wont struggle like me in the future!

[hasty flume]

she is 10

[winged vessel]

Weird, I have Riot Vanguard and haven't had any issues like that

Glad that your issue is solved though!

[pliant jolt]

yeah unfortunately

but i cant join game when i open game in vanilla version

[nocturne spade]

@night bough Thank you too for help, I shared the solution for others with same issue in the future!

[pliant jolt]

is it still mod problem

[hasty flume]

if the other player is the host, i dont think youll be able to play when she isnt online

[winged vessel]

I don't really know, sorry. There's not really enough information to go off of

[nocturne spade]

Thanks! tbh a lot of things felt weird since new LOL update with Riot Vanguard , laptop also seemed slower, seems its blockign something for SMAPI , maybe considering it a third party fr cheating

[winged vessel]

Yeah it's odd, I do have certain cheat softwares on my computer tho and haven't had an issue as long as I'm not actually playing Valorant with them open

But I def agree with the slowdown thing, it feels like my computer is always sluggish after installing vanguard

[pliant jolt]

I think there was a misunderstanding. Even if she or I am the host, we are having problems connecting to each other's game, regardless of Smapi or the original game.

[hasty flume]

original problem remains. its impossible to know what the problem is without the other person's log

[inland oyster]

Considering that vanguard can detect Netflix as a cheat

[winged vessel]

agh don't get me started

[pliant jolt]

That's right, I'll ask for it, thank you

thank you for your help <3

[nocturne spade]

It made my modded Skyrim sluggish, so off it goes! until I play LOL once in 2 weeks I guess LOL

Guys is there a mod for auto harvesting my crops like automate for machienes ?

Anyone has any idea how to fix this? no error message whatsoever on my smapi. This happens after i added SDVE in my playthrough. already played for 2 seasons (i thought after a season it will fix itself). im quite knowledgable in coding so if anyone has any idea where can i start looking, help me out 😄

Thank you.

!rtf should help you with that

[native dragon]

Reset Terrain Features (https://smapi.io/mods/#Reset_Terrain_Features) is a mod that lets you reset, clear, or generate everything that spawns on a map using an in-game menu. That's especially useful when changing maps mid-save, as the debris will otherwise use the old layout (causing things like trees in the water or bushes blocking exits).

To use this command, type !rtf.

or did it not target static assets? I don't remember

Hi! I'm having a couple errors/warnings on my smapi that I'm not understanding. The only thing in-game I've noticed is that I can't talk to my in-game wife (Sophia; currently my only spouse) out-and-about in town.

SoulsReaper: isn't that what junimos do?

You might be able to find a reskin on them if you just want an automated harvest that's more mechanized/industrial

[gaunt gust]

No that's normal

You have to specifically code otherwise

[lean star]

and switching to SVE, consider getting Redraw Pelican Town Expanded whilst using VPR

[little quiver]

i still need VPR? cause im already using it + the unofficial update fix

btw tried RTF didnt work, but maybe it procs when during save (night)

[lean star]

for the Temp fix for 1.6 you need VPR installed, but that doesn't cover SVE stuff

[little quiver]

I see, aright ill try this and sleep for the night and see if it works

[lean star]

might not be fixable though, and you might see more craziness popping up further down the line
from the FAQ:

Starting a new save is highly recommended. Playing on an already existing save will cause a lot of bugs.

take that with a grain of salt, the FAQ was last updated on Feb 9, 2022

[little quiver]

welp nothing works

[lean star]

you can either start a new game with SVE or remove SVE and hope that it at least reverts back without breaking

[little quiver]

tried removing and putting back sve

[lean star]

I meant removing it for good, if you want SVE you'll then have to start a new game

[tawdry oracle]

Opened smapi and a thing popped up saying WinRar isnt free, is that normal?

[lean star]

do you use winrar?

[tawdry oracle]

No

Not that I know of

[lean star]

where did you open smapi?

[tawdry oracle]

From my microsoft downloads

[lean star]

also what popped up? your browser?

[tawdry oracle]

Maybe I could just show a picture?

[lean star]

sure

[lean star]

that right there is winrar

[tawdry oracle]

Ah

When I clicked open file, winrar opened then

[lean star]

and it's telling you to buy a license

remove winrar and get 7zip

[tawdry oracle]

okay, how do I do that?

[lean star]

• hit the windows key and search for control panel select uninstall a program scroll down in the list and uninstall winrar
• go to https://www.7-zip.org and download the latest version

[tawdry oracle]

Im not seeing uninstall a program.

[lean star]

it's in programs and features

[tawdry oracle]

Alr

[lean star]

is that win11?

[tawdry oracle]

No

windows 10

[lean star]

oh wait you're viewing large icons, change that to category

[tawdry oracle]

ohh okay

gotcha

Alr, its uninstalled

Where do I install 7zip?

[lean star]

you can install it anywhere, default is on C:

[tawdry oracle]

oh? like- how do I install it?

sorry Im slow :'

[lean star]

the file you downloaded, just double click it

[tawdry oracle]

right here?

[lean star]

second bullet point

[tawdry oracle]

ohh okay

and its the first box im assuming?

[lean star]

the one from 24.05.

if you run SMAPI you don't have a 32bit system

[tawdry oracle]

and which one do I need here?

[lean star]

first one

[tawdry oracle]

and then I open the file I downloaded from downloads? Am I free to mod now or is there more stuff I have to do first? :"

[lean star]

that's it

[tawdry oracle]

so.. if I download mods from Nexus, itll automatically add it to my game? or will I have to manually add it?

[lean star]

extract the archive and put what's inside it in your mods folder

so I have no clue what to do ToT

[scarlet quail]

If you installed it you will have a mods folder

It will even tell you upon installation completion where the folder is

[tawdry oracle]

Where would I find that folder? Im looking through my files rn

[lean star]

in your stardew valley folder

[tawdry oracle]

I found smapi and 7zip in my downloads folder

oh. it has its own folder-

[scarlet quail]

You need to unzip that

And then run the installer

It can't just be in downloads

[tawdry oracle]

how would I unzip it-

[lean star]

7zip

[tawdry oracle]

so launch 7zip?

[scarlet quail]

Oh, dear, I didn't realize we were this level of knowledge

!unzip

[native dragon]

Files with the extension .zip, .rar, or .7z are archive files, which you can extract to get the actual files inside. For a .zip file, just right-click (or long-press on Android) it and choose the option like extract or uncompress. For .rar and .7z, you need to install third-party software first, like 7-zip https://7-zip.org/ on Windows (get the x64 version), Keka https://keka.io/ on macOS, PeaZip https://peazip.github.io/ on Linux, or ZArchiver https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver on Android.

To use this command, type !unzip.

[scarlet quail]

Since you are on windows you can just right click and extract

[lean star]

right click the folder and unzip

windows unzips into a new folder by default, piece of work that is

[tawdry oracle]

Do I press extract?

[scarlet quail]

Yes

[tawdry oracle]

although thats not the drive my stardew valley is on

thats my main ToT

[lean star]

SMAPI does not belong into you stardew valley folder, you extract it and run the installation

[scarlet quail]

Yeah that doesn't matter for the installation

[tawdry oracle]

Alr

[scarlet quail]

Your other mods will have to be unzipped to the right directory Given it's on another drive per what you just said

But SMAPI you can put anywhere

[tawdry oracle]

alr

so its this now-

[lean star]

open the folder

[tawdry oracle]

Alr

Now I run steam for stardew, will that change anything?

[lean star]

for now all you run is the installer

[lean star]

install on Windows

[tawdry oracle]

1?

[brisk flume]

i just joined this server and had a question about modding, ive gotten to the point where i have smapi and i can runthe installer i just dont understand how to get other mods to work in the mods folder

[lean star]

is that where your game is? then yes

[lean star]

you just put the extracted mod folder inside the mods folder

[brisk flume]

do i extract the mod in the downloads tab?

the move it?

[scarlet quail]

Sure you can do that

[lean star]

are you done with the installation yet?

[scarlet quail]

You can also just directly extract it to the mod folder if you want

[tawdry oracle]

so I just close this?

[lean star]

not yet

[scarlet quail]

I mean if you use steam. I would copy what the installer tells you to there

[brisk flume]

and do i unzip it in the mods folder once im there or just leave it extracted

[lean star]

you said you run it through steam, so that green text is important to you

[scarlet quail]

If you've already unzipped it you won't have to reunzip it in the mod folder

[tawdry oracle]

I copy that command into the launch options, right?

[lean star]

yes

[brisk flume]

ok ill try that thank you!!

[tawdry oracle]

like this? then just close?

[lean star]

does it start with "? then that's right

[tawdry oracle]

Yep

Then I close the tab? how would I add mods?

[lean star]

yes

now you extract your downloaded mods like you did with the SMAPI.zip

[tawdry oracle]

ohh okay

[lean star]

the folder you get you put in your mods folder, in the location where SMAPI told you that your game is

[tawdry oracle]

so for example, I would manual download this

then extract the file like smapi?

[lean star]

yes

[tawdry oracle]

what if I wanna remove a mod?

[lean star]

in most cases you can just delete it from your mods folder, some mods you can't delete without breaking your save file

[tawdry oracle]

So I extracted it- itll be added to my game now?

[lean star]

👆

[brisk flume]

OMG I GOT IT

omg ive been trying to do this for so long

thank you TT

[tawdry oracle]

uh oh..

Idk what I did ToT

I have two of the mods files tho now

[robust bison]

just move the unzipped one to your mods folder

[lean star]

copy Pet's Enhanced Mod and put it inside Stardew Valley\mods

[tawdry oracle]

mods folder would be smapis folder, right?

[lean star]

the path in green

[tawdry oracle]

I found the mod folder

[lean star]

yes

[tawdry oracle]

so how do I move the mod to it?

I dont see an option for that.

[lean star]

you have surely copied files before, right? same thing

[tawny fiber]

How do I know if a mod is not compatible with mobile?

[lean star]

this folder, not the .zip

[tawdry oracle]

alr, how do I get rid of the zipped file?

or can I just leave it be?

[lean star]

delete it

[tawdry oracle]

Alr

done

[lean star]

now, the mod won't work, hear me out...

go to the nexus page where you got the mod and got to the description page of the mod

[lean star]

click on the arrow next to requirements

[lean star]

these are mods you will always need in oder to run the mod you want to download

[tawdry oracle]

ohh.

[lean star]

SMAPI you already have, Content Patcher you do not

click on it and do the same you just did

[tawdry oracle]

got it

I think

ill try

Ill unzip it, then move the unzipped file to the mods folder?

[lean star]

correct

[tawdry oracle]

[lean star]

that's all you need to know for 99% of the mods

[tawdry oracle]

Im learningg yay

and if I wanna remove a mod, ill just delete the zipped and unzipped files?

[lean star]

yes

although the .zip you can delete once you moved the file

[tawdry oracle]

ohh

I can delete those 3 zipped files?

including the zipped smapi?

[lean star]

you can delete all of what you're showing there

[tawdry oracle]

oh- even the unzipped ones?

and this one-

[lean star]

yes, you already moved them to your mods folder / installed the programs

[lean star]

did you close the window for the SMAPI installation?

[tawdry oracle]

ohh there we go

tysm for the help
Sorry for the difficulties, I tend to be slow :')

[lean star]

not so fast or you'll be here again once you want to update a mod:
to update a mod you do the same thing you just did, but you have to DELETE the old mod from the mods folder first
if you are asked to overwrite files you forgot to the delete the old folder

[native dragon]

@lean star You leveled up to Shepherd. Wow, you've been talking a lot! Have a prettier, slightly more brag worthy, shade of blue.

[tawdry oracle]

oo

so if I wanna update a mod, ill have to redo the process?

[lean star]

(thanks gov, I do feel like I'm guiding my sheep to safety - though I've never seen this place before)

[lean star]

yes

[tawdry oracle]

Lol

So just purge the mod of my pc then redownload it from nexus?

how do I know when a mod needs updates?

[lean star]

when you run modded stardew, you'll first see a console window pop up, that's SMAPI
if a mod can be updated it will tell you

[tawdry oracle]

so basically if I run it with steam like I always would, if a mod needs updated- a window will pop up?

[lean star]

the window will always pop up, but if there's something to update you'll see these purple lines

[tawdry oracle]

ah okay

do I leave the window open when playing? or can I close it?

[lean star]

you can not close it, if you do SMAPI will close the game

[tawdry oracle]

Alr

[lean star]

you can minimize it or not, it will also tell you if there is an ERROR with the game (in red text)

[tawdry oracle]

okay. I can just launch it through steam?

[lean star]

yes

[tawdry oracle]

Alr ty

hm

I opened stardew

I just downloaded the mods tho

so Ill have to redo what I did to get it-

[scarlet quail]

that one isn't your fault

and you can ignore it

[tawdry oracle]

oh?

[scarlet quail]

if you check the file archive, they apparently tried to update it yesterday

[tawdry oracle]

Ah

[scarlet quail]

so there is a 0.1.70 version present, but not downloadable

[tawdry oracle]

so how do I know if I should ignore a update notice or not?

[scarlet quail]

Depends on the mod.

[tawdry oracle]

ah

[scarlet quail]

so there's no real metric you can go by

[lean star]

I have a feeling they archived the wrong file

[tawdry oracle]

oh?

[lean star]

0.1.63 was uploaded 3 days ago, 0.1.70 was uploaded today

pretty sure they meant to archive 0.1.63

[tawdry oracle]

are you talking about me or the people who made the mod?-

Am I still able to play? or will the mod not work?

[lean star]

the latter, there might be another upload for a version 0.1.71 coming later

[tawdry oracle]

oh

so.. I am able to play the mod?

[lean star]

yes

[tawdry oracle]

okay

also

one last question i think

if I play the game without updating a mod

will it break my game

?

[tawdry oracle]

Because Im not sure how to see if a mod actually needs updated or if its doing what its doing rn.

[lean star]

you're just unlucky with your choice of mod right now, they can usually be updated when it tells you

[tawdry oracle]

ah okay!

hey guys, need help with sprites

winter came and all of my modded sprites became vanilla instead of modded ones, the mods aint mine and i need help how do i fix it

tried to look into contents and deleted some files, portraits were fixed but characters are invisible now

[scarlet sparrow]

hope someone will help

[lean star]

don't ever delete any game files

[scarlet sparrow]

and how do you want me to fix sprites

[lean star]

I don't want you to do anything, if you want to fix them you can target the winter sprites with the regular ones provided by your mod

[scarlet sparrow]

how

Hello again. Today's game freeze occurs in the Islands Volcano Mine. Because it listed TMXLoader in the error portion, I disabled the mod and tried again. Same result.

[night bough]

Okay. So it looks like you have SMAPI installed correctly which is good news. Where is it that you're putting your mod folders? rather how are you installing your mods? Manually from nexus? A mod manager?

[night bough]

Also it looks like you were playing in multiplayer, is that correct?

[cloud plank]

Guys I’m thinking of buying Stardew valley, Should I buy it on switch or on mobile?

[neat plaza]

why the modded channel?

[gaunt gust]

Not the place, we deal with PC primarily here, I would ask #stardew-valley

[sonic ivy]

Not sure where I put it, it was labeled mods haha

[sonic ivy]

I have played this world in multiplayer, once

[night bough]

Okay. So let's find your game folder then.

It should be here ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS

Inside of that folder should be a folder called mods

[cloud plank]

Oh ok sorry I’m new to this server lol

[sonic ivy]

Okay I’m here

I see the mods folder

[night bough]

What's in it?

[sonic ivy]

Console commands and save backup

Do I click console commands?

[night bough]

No. So this is where you want to put your mods. How have you been installing your mods?

[sonic ivy]

I watched a YouTube video. I believe I used nexus and GitHub possibly

Not GitHub 😭

That’s wrong

[night bough]

Nexus is great!

So do you still have the downloads in your downloads folder? Have you unzipped them?

[sonic ivy]

They are still in my downloads. What is unzipping?

[night bough]

Can you send me a screenshot of them in your downloads please?

[sonic ivy]

Yes

[night bough]

Okay. So Im not seeing the zipped downloads. But the folders SkullCavernElevator and NPCMapLocations are the unzipped mod folders. Dragging those folders into ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS/Mods is how you install them into the game so SMAPI can launch them.

Im also noticing you have ModDrop.Client, are you using that as a mod manager?

[sonic ivy]

No clue what that is tbh haha

[night bough]

Okay. So if you drag your mod folders into your mods folder (path above) and launch, and then follow the same instructions as before at smapi.io/log to grab a log we can confirm you're all set.

[night bough]

But for the future, instead of Youtube guides (which can be very out of date very quickly) I'd highly recommend the stardew wiki. Here's a link https://stardewcommunitywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started It has an answer for pretty much any question you can think of and is much more up to date! But don't hesitate to ask in here for help if you're ever stuck with any of it.

[night bough]

In short, you could try completing it using CJB Cheats (in the Advanced sub menu iirc). When you uninstalled was it just the quest that you left? Did you also make sure to get rid of any ES exclusive items? But beyond that we'd need a log to make sure you didn't anger your save too much.

[night bough]

Looking good. Was it just those two mods that you wanted?

[sonic ivy]

For now yes haha

[night bough]

Great! It looks like you have an update for NPC Map Locations (you can find an easy link for any updates near the top of your log, it'll be the bit in yellow). If you feel confident now that you know how to download and install, you should be all set! Happy modding!

But feel free to ping me in here if you have any questions about updating (here's the link you're looking for in your log).

[inland oyster]

(pupper are you making sure to take breaks)

[night bough]

It looks like Ghost Town is not compatible with 1.6.8 and is editing the Volcano Dungeon maps causing this error:

   at StardewValley.Locations.VolcanoDungeon.GenerateEntities() in D:\GitlabRunner\builds\Gq5qA5P4\0\ConcernedApe\stardewvalley\Farmer\Farmer\Locations\VolcanoDungeon.cs:line 1627```
Try disabling that mod. Also though it doesn't seem to be throwing errors (yet), I'd also consider disabling Heart of Yoba as well (until an update for 1.6 becomes available).

[night bough]

(Was just about to take one but thanks for the concern.)

[inland oyster]

(i have every right to be concerned lol)

[weary flax]

we'll give it a go and see what happens. Thanks. Enjoy your break. 🙂

[tawdry oracle]

Is Cjb cheats mod safe to use?

have you downloaded the newest SAMPI update and undated all the mods you use for 6.1

i downloaded the newest and my game always claims its not the newest

[delicate edge]

[gaunt gust]

Weird

It's claiming that harmonylib can't be found

I would install without vortex if I were you

[delicate edge]

okay, is there an easy way to remove all mods with vortex?

the problem seems to be with SMAPI though

[hasty flume]

You don't appear to have farm type manager installed

Actually, on closer inspection, it also isn't registering ftm as compatible. Are you completely deleting your mods when updating?

[hasty flume]

If the problem was with smapi, everyone would be experiencing it. After a closer look, your trace clearly shows its not properly reading certain files, which is indicative of vortex fuckery

!vortex

[native dragon]

Vortex isn't recommended for Stardew Valley.

It's hard to troubleshoot and often causes issues like SMAPI/mods not being installed or updated correctly, files mysteriously disappearing, crashes, etc. Volunteers here often can't help with Vortex issues.

Some options:

• Install mods directly (which is easy and safe in Stardew Valley!).
• Or use Stardrop, a mod manager specifically designed for Stardew Valley.
• Or get help with Vortex in the Nexus Discord or Vortex support forums.

To use this command, type !vortex.

[edgy escarp]

L vortex

[hasty flume]

I have never seen a vortex w in my life

[naive crypt]

im having an issue where i put the path to modding api into the properties launcher option thing but it doesn't launch smapi it just launches normal stardew

[edgy escarp]

Are you sure the path is correct?
As in - it has the " " 's and %command% at the end ?

[naive crypt]

oop hold on

thankyou forgot command

[edgy escarp]

🩷

[delicate edge]

thanks. I'll try to mod the game without vortex! 🙂

[mint tide]

hello! quick question, can you have one save be modded and another vanilla? no right?

[inland oyster]

you can

[edgy escarp]

Ye, you should be able to
The modded one would be run via SMAPI and the other would just be through Steam, etc.

[mint tide]

oh! how do you do that?

[thorn vortex]

I’m having issues getting my mods to work on mac, is anyone able to call me and try to help 😭

[mint tide]

but when i play through steam it automativally opens smapi?

[inland oyster]

just run smapi for the modded save and run the vanilla version for vanilla

[inland oyster]

you can delete the launch preferences and open smapi through a shortcut

[edgy escarp]

You would have to change the path back to the original one to switch back, iirc

[mint tide]

ahhh okay thank you both!

[thorn vortex]

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong- I’ve modded Stardew before just not on Mac and so I think the steps might be different?

[weary flax]

Ghost Town was the cause of the Island Volcano issue. Thanks so much.

[edgy escarp]

'm not really sure about Mac, but are you having trouble finding your mods folder or :o?

Cuz as far as I know, the process should otherwise be similar to Windows

[cinder tendon]

i’ve modded on mac, it should be pretty much the same process

[night bough]

Hi! I'd be happy to help. What bit are you stuck on? Are you following the guide on the wiki?

(To be clear, I can't hop on a call, but I'd be happy to help you in here)

[thorn vortex]

I did, which is why I’m completely confused

I think it has to do with the way my folders are set up, because, like I said, i’ve been able to successfully mod stardew before

For reference, this is the folder the mods are in

[night bough]

So it looks like you haven't unzipped your mods

[edgy escarp]

Oop, that'd explain it

[night bough]

Please try keeping it to just support Cindy

[edgy escarp]

(Also - off topic but W Dazai pfp)

[night bough]

No shame in it at all Val

[thorn vortex]

So make sure they all become their own folders like this? (i’m bad at tech)

[thorn vortex]

Thanks! it’s an obsession

[night bough]

Yes!

If you could try unzipping them all that'd be perfect

[night bough]

Except with SMAPI, that we'll need to do in a different way

Oh nvm it looks like you've already unzipped SMAPI. Have you installed it yet?

[tawny oracle]

can someone help me figure out why my game crashes upon starting a farm? i just downloaded some things & i don’t quite understand what im looking at with the logs 😅

i’ve modded before but not since 1.6, so i’m assuming it’s probably an issue with something not being updated but i don’t know what because the only thing in the log that says it has errors is smapi itself

[night bough]

I'd be happy to help. Please follow the instructions from the governor above and I can take a look

Sorry I’m having trouble trying to get the file in the box 😭

[night bough]

No worries. Can you show me a screenshot of the finder window you found the log file in?

If possible please go to Finder>View>Show Path Bar so I can see the path easily at the bottom

[hasty flume]

A bunch of your mods are empty folders. Do you by any chance use vortex?

[night bough]

Gotcha. And there is a file in that folder?

[thorn vortex]

yes

I just can’t find it in the log thing

[tawny oracle]

i don’t, i’m on steam deck though? idk why they’d be empty. i can try redownloading them and see if that fixes it

[night bough]

Okay. So, what I do so I don't have to drag and drop (or copy the path from smapi.io/log every time) is drag the folder "Error Logs" into my favorites sidebar so I can find it easily

[hasty flume]

You also have a few mods that are incompatible with 1.6

[tawny oracle]

I thought that might be the case. Could you let me know which ones? I had a hard time figuring out which ones were incompatible when downloading

[night bough]

It's listed in the section of your log that has red text

Right at the top of the log

[tawny oracle]

Ah I see, okay cool. I’ll try redownloading the rest of them and see how it goes

[night bough]

Okay so we've got a bit of searching to do. Could you do me a favor and go to this folder: /Users/valmyers/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS/Mods

[thorn vortex]

Im not sure why it is saying i have no packs

sure

[hasty flume]

Btw, with json assets specifically, there are two main files on the nexus page, one for 1.5 and one for 1.6. You want the second one

[hasty flume]

It's bc you don't have anything that requires cp, at, or fs installed. Smapi considers those "packs", and they're slightly different than what it considers full mods

[night bough]

Did you mean to respond to Val?

#archived-modded-support message

[hasty flume]

I meant to respond to the message above the one I did, but yes I meant to respond to them

[thorn vortex]

ohh

[hasty flume]

Please please just take a screenshot. Phone pictures of screens are very difficult to read

[thorn vortex]

Ok I’m sorry

[night bough]

Should be CMD SHIFT 5 Val

[night bough]

Those are definitely mods

And from the previous screenshot they look to be at the path in your log

Which is very odd

[thorn vortex]

Yeah

I have no idea

[night bough]

Okay could you try deleting the SMAPI zip and SMAPI folder inside of your mods folder and then please redownload SMAPI and double click the zip just in your downloads folder. Then run the mac installer again

[thorn vortex]

ok

[night bough]

You don't need to extract the zip into your mods folder or your game folder. The installer does it for you.

Also if you could show me your steam launch options that'd be very helpful as well

[hasty flume]

Huh

It's a bit odd that Val has the smapi installer in their mods folder but smapi isn't yelling at them about it

Usually there's a big red warning to get that shit out of there

[night bough]

Ignored loose files: .DS_Store, Coii's Girls Sets Pack 2872.zip, Content Patcher 2.0.6.zip, Custom Companions 4.1.1 8626.zip, Expanded Preconditions Utility.zip, Hats Won't Mess Up Hair.zip, Quest Framework 1.4.3 6414.zip, SMAPI 4.0.8 2400.zip

Thats what Im looking at ^

Its not yelling just growling softly in the trace

[thorn vortex]

lmfao

[hasty flume]

Weird the warning isn't going off for them though. Maybe it's a Mac thing?

[night bough]

Could be. Never happened to me. Im suspicious of steam launch settings for that reason

They should be blank on mac

[hasty flume]

And there aren't any zip files in the screenshots of the mod folder they sent us aside from the smapi one

[thorn vortex]

wait so you just need me to get the zip file and do nothing else?

[night bough]

No please extract into your downloads and run the installer

By extract I mean double click 😅

[proven bobcat]

I'm suddenly having issues with Idaida's wallpaper and floors (both CP and AT version). I get an error message that the "data/additionalwallsandfloors" path can't be found. Is anyone else running into issues with this mod?

[night bough]

Woah. Never seen it repeat like that. But let's put that aside for a second

[hasty flume]

When was it last updated?

[night bough]

Could you please take a screenshot of your steam launch options for Stardew?

[thorn vortex]

It just gives me the play option? unless you mean something else

[proven bobcat]

July 2022. It was working since the update until just the other day.

[night bough]

Check here @thorn vortex

[meager pendant]

i’m downloading the smapi mod from nexus mods and i’m downloading the one that says “SMAPI 4.0.8” “For stardew valley 1.6.4 or later”

[night bough]

[meager pendant]

Imma be honest, it was probably broken before and you just didn't notice until now. That mod is way out of date and all mods related to walls and floors that haven't been updated to 1.6 are having issues due to new tiles added in that update

[thorn vortex]

ok

[night bough]

Now try launching and grabbing a new log @thorn vortex

[proven bobcat]

Hmmm. I only downloaded it for the first time after the 1.6 launch and was using it just fine. Maybe one of the smaller updates killed it...?

[thorn vortex]

omg wait its actually starting to be comprehensible

[meager pendant]

do i send you the log link?

[thorn vortex]

yay

[hasty flume]

Yes

[night bough]

Please send the link of a parsed log in here

[meager pendant]

what are c# mods..

[hasty flume]

Mods that use the c# coding language

[meager pendant]

ohh

but i js have to delete smapi, download error handler, then reinstall smapi?

and it should work?

[night bough]

Just reinstall SMAPI it'll do the rest

[hasty flume]

You are aware your game is currently on 1.5.6, right?

[meager pendant]

mhm

wait no

thje error screen says im running 1.6.8

[hasty flume]

The log says you're running 1.5.6, so something weird is happening there

[night bough]

Probably because no error handler?

[thorn vortex]

theres no longer anything in the error log

[meager pendant]

yeah it says smapi is 1.5.6

and i already redownloaded smapi b4 i came in here

[night bough]

Huh. Could you try relaunching and trying again?

[thorn vortex]

sure

[hasty flume]

Smapi for 1.5.6 is 3.18.6. Looks like it didn't install properly if you don't have error handler, that should be downloaded automatically alongside that version of smapi

[thorn vortex]

still nothing there

[night bough]

Could you try Finder>Go>Go to folder>~/.config/StardewValley/ErrorLogs

[hasty flume]

Do you have smapi installed in 2 places?

[night bough]

Yeah thats what Im thinking too

[meager pendant]

are you talking to me?

oh

[hasty flume]

No

[meager pendant]

nvm

[thorn vortex]

although the mods are working now

[night bough]

Yeah but not for long if you can't get a log 😅 lets see if we can figure it out

[meager pendant]

i already did redownload smapi (from nexus originally then github again) before asking for help here then tried relaunching and it said the same thing it did originally, im sry im js rly confused

[thorn vortex]

nothing appears when i click

[meager pendant]

i am so stupid im sorry. i competely forgot that you actually have to download smapi through the file.

[hasty flume]

What

[meager pendant]

i havent modded it on my pc in a rly long time, ive alwayus done it on my deck and i forgot abt this

[hasty flume]

I have no idea what you're talking about

[meager pendant]

nvm

[night bough]

Do you mean you forgot to unzip and run the installer?

[hasty flume]

I don't know what you mean by "download through the file"

[meager pendant]

yes

[hasty flume]

Ohhh

[meager pendant]

im so sorry lol 😭

[night bough]

No worries! Feel free to try launching and sending a new log so we can make sure you're all set!

[night bough]

Sorry. Give me a minute while I look into this.

[thorn vortex]

no problem

[night bough]

Have you ever had two installations of stardew?

Did you perhaps try to backup your 1.5 game before 1.6 came out?

@thorn vortex

[thorn vortex]

i dont believe so, this is a new computer that i only got a few weeks ago

[hasty flume]

I have an idea

@thorn vortex can you open the game and try and find the spot in the console where it tells you where the mods go?

[thorn vortex]

yeah

[night bough]

Its identical im pretty sure

Could you go into finder and just straight search "smapi" @thorn vortex

Im interested to see how many "smapi_internal" folders you might have

Make sure when searching you click the filter at the top that says "this mac" not whatever folder you're currently in

[night bough]

Oh no Im sorry I meant the old fashioned search

[night bough]

Like this

[thorn vortex]

whoops my bad

[carmine kite]

Are they ever going to update the split screen mod to work with the update? If not is there a workaround to assigning two different Bluetooth controllers to separate instances on the same pc? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

[neat plaza]

the split screen mod
Wdym? Split screen is vanilla

[hasty flume]

Yeah that's a vanilla feature

[night bough]

No worries! Okay this is good. This means you shouldnt have any smapi installed anywhere the normal search searches (like your desktop or downloads, etc.)

[hasty flume]

And therefore compatible with the update

[carmine kite]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2139

This is the mod in reference I’m talking about

[hasty flume]

That mod is ancient

[carmine kite]

Is there a non ancient one?

[neat plaza]

[[Multiplayer]]

[hasty flume]

No, bc splitscreen is a vanilla feature now

[neat plaza]

Oh it's offline again

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Multiplayer

[inland oyster]

Gotta turn it on pillow

[carmine kite]

So I’m just trying to run two instances on my pc and assign a different controller to each instance but usually what happens is one controller will control both instances

[neat plaza]

It just crashes sometimes

[neat plaza]

Did this even work with 1.5?

[hasty flume]

This is getting into #vanilla-tech-support territory

[carmine kite]

I don’t know to be honest. I’m just trying to play co op with my wife on two different screens on my pc so I’m trying to make it happen

[carmine kite]

I guess you have a point

[hasty flume]

We keep telling you, it's a vanilla feature now

You don't need a mod for splitscreen

[carmine kite]

Ok I’ll check out that link that was sent

Wait sorry let me reiterate. Im not trying to play split screen in local co op. Im trying to run two different instances of the game so we each get our own screen. Can you actually do that in vanilla? I tried but all I could do was local split screen on one monitor

[hasty flume]

Wait what

[night bough]

@thorn vortex Okay. I'm at a bit of a loss but not giving up, are you sure your steam launch options are completely empty? And though normally we don't like doing this, could you do me a favor and relaunch, close out stardew and then in the SMAPI console terminal window go to Shell>Export Text As and send the txt file in here please?

[hasty flume]

You said up here you were trying to play co op

[carmine kite]

Well no you can do it with two computers

One computer can launch steam and the other Xbox game pass

Then you connect to a local ip game

I’ll take this to technical support though. I appreciate your help 🙂

[hasty flume]

I no longer understand what you're trying to accomplish

[night bough]

Yes technical support but this sounds to me like normal vanilla co-op

[carmine kite]

The only coop I’ve been able to do is through one .exe

[hasty flume]

Co op has been a vanilla feature for literally years

[carmine kite]

I don’t think you’re understanding 🥲 that’s ok though I’m probably making it more confusing and dumb 😂

[thorn vortex]

also, yes, the launch options are empty

[night bough]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Multiplayer This should help you. If you have any questions after perusing this, direct them to #vanilla-tech-support

[night bough]

Okay. Did you make sure to close Stardew before exporting the console?

[carmine kite]

Ok yeah thanks for the article so vanilla can do local ip through multiple computers. Or you can play split screen. What I’m trying to do is different and will definitely require modding.

[night bough]

My apologies then. Could you please try explaining again exactly what you're looking for?

[carmine kite]

So let me ask this. Is there a mod for separate controller assignment?

[thorn vortex]

i just closed it now, i didnt know you could acess terminal without stardew open

[night bough]

Separate controller assignment is possible in split screen co-op in vanilla.

[hasty flume]

What does that mean in this context? Bc it still sounds like splitscreen

[thorn vortex]

theres a new one

[carmine kite]

https://youtu.be/sFeHWyUbHOs?si=Wx2zZ-VuQ0UUNPvR

This is essentially what I’m doing in a nutshell

He has two separate instances (.exe) he also has individual control over each character with different controller

[hasty flume]

How is that not local co op splitscreen with 2 controllers?

[carmine kite]

It’s not split screen. I’m not going to play on one monitor?

One exe per screen so it’s just co op

So the main problem is I can’t get my controllers to work for each client seeing as one controls them both

[thorn vortex]

that is so confusing

[carmine kite]

I know I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to understand it. Still pulling

[night bough]

Okay. Do you already have two seperate installations of Stardew?

[carmine kite]

Yes. I have two different folder paths in addition to steams folder path

[hasty flume]

I still don't understand how this is in any way preferable to the vanilla splitscreen co op

Like, this seems way more complicated for what is essentially the same effect

[carmine kite]

True but separate screens are better. We like to be immersed

[night bough]

And it is not possible to just have two pcs I assume?

[hasty flume]

Can you not just use splitscreen and set your resolution so it spreads across multiple monitors?

[carmine kite]

Unfortunately not we only have the one pc and I bought it on switch like a dummy before reading it wasn’t cross play 😂😂😂

Won’t work two vastly different resolutions

21.9 compared to 16.9

[hasty flume]

Look man I'm gonna be honest, I don't think you're gonna be able to do this. At least not with our help

[carmine kite]

I agree 😂 I spent seven hours trying to figure this crap out.

[hasty flume]

Any mod that did this was likely abandoned when splitscreen co op was introduced as a vanilla feature

[night bough]

Honestly I agree with megan. There is built in support for two controllers in splitscreen in vanilla and I have no clue how you'd do it with two instances.

[hasty flume]

And it looks like the mod you linked was built for 1.3

[carmine kite]

Well I’ve been trying to use ds4 windows. That’s how I play all my Xbox games and apparently there was a way to do it but I can’t find the Reddit threat anymore

[hasty flume]

Nothing built for 1.3 is gonna work for 1.6

[carmine kite]

Honestly didn’t pay attention to versions since I just downloaded it 😂

[hasty flume]

Ok so the thing with reddit is all that shit is gonna be outdated

[carmine kite]

Found out the hard way.

[hasty flume]

1.6 fundamentally changed how the game worked on a code level, and smapi changed along with it

Things that worked in 1.5 and lower just aren't going to work anymore

[carmine kite]

I get that. It’s impossible. I’ll just have to figure something else out. 🤷‍♂️

[hasty flume]

There's always splitscreen

[night bough]

Okay. I've looked through the console text and I am pretty fresh out of ideas sadly. The only guess I have is for you to check ~/.config/StardewValley/ErrorLogs one last time now that you've closed the game. Beyond that, I can give you some feedback on what I can see with what you've sent.

[carmine kite]

I’m just going to do parallels.

Second pc

On my first pc

[hasty flume]

That also works

[carmine kite]

I wanted to avoid that but it seems like it’s my only option

[night bough]

I wish you luck, sincerely

[carmine kite]

🙏🏻

[thorn vortex]

Alright, I’m still not seeing anything on my side. Honestly though, thank you so much for spending so much time trying to figure this out with me. A lot was fixed even if we couldn’t figure out the log!

[hasty flume]

Just be prepared, you are gonna have to find that if you ever have any more issues

[night bough]

I'll ask around and ping you in here if I figure anything out.

[dire fractal]

Hey all, i'm having a slight problem with the trash bear, he wants frog legs from SVE, which I have in my hands, but it's not accepting it. Has anyone run into this before?

[night bough]

@stark horizon Hi Logo! Apologies for the ping, but I was told you were the Mac expert and I was wondering if you'd ever come across this issue/whether it'd be worth reporting to Pathos. MacOS launching SMAPI via Steam (confirmed launch options empty). Console shows proper load in on launch. However, ~/.config/StardewValley/ErrorLogs reveals no log even after relaunch (replying to terminal output of final relaunch).
Their original issue was mods being "loose" in the trace. (log: < #archived-modded-support message >) So I had them reinstall SMAPI (screenshot: < #archived-modded-support message >) and delete Steam launch options (were using path to game/mods folder: < #archived-modded-support message >) These changes brought us to the current issue of no log. Thank you for taking the time sorry if the summary is a bit lengthy, I wanted to ease the backreading as much as I could.

StardewTime, it's the latest, the author just didn't update the version

[dire fractal]

stf?

[hasty flume]

Shop tile framework

You didn't delete the mod when updating, did you?

[dire fractal]

I guess not?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hasty flume]

Delete sve completely and reinstall

For the future, always completely delete a mod when updating it

[dire fractal]

Alright

[hasty flume]

Otherwise you end up with leftover files that could definitely be causing an issue like this

[night bough]

Also SAAT is obsolete you can delete it.

(afaik)

[hasty flume]

And you can delete stf

[dire fractal]

So by delete you mean remove mod files, startup, download new ones, drop in?

[hasty flume]

And json assets, since the only mod you have that uses it is sve and it also got rid of its json assets component

[hasty flume]

All files for the mod should go in the recycle bin, yes

[night bough]

No startup between removing and downloading

I was gonna ask what startup meant in this context

[gleaming kestrel]

Anybody have any insight as to what would cause a mod to make SMAPI crash when trying to launch mods, without error text?

Engineer in me wants to do a clean start

[gleaming kestrel]

(For context, it's the More Nightly Events mod, which the author does say is still in alpha, but other people seem to be using it fine.)

[night bough]

If you load into a save, especially one with sve in it, without sve you will wish you had not. That is what I mean by no startup between removing and downloading.

[dire fractal]

Yeee

[hasty flume]

Sdv is not a machine, put away the engineer brain

[hasty flume]

I once had a crash with no error text in the log bc I had a memory issue that required a restart of my computer. Could that potentially be the case here?

[dire fractal]

okey, redownloaded, will let ya'll know how it goes 😄 Thank you so far!

[night bough]

^ Because the only thing I see about that mod is Rewrote MoreNightlyEvents.dll to fix ClickableTextureComponent.draw (added missing optional parameters)... in the trace which doesn't seem crash worthy to me

[gleaming kestrel]

Anything's possible, I suppose. It would surprise me, but I suppose I'll try restarting. It's just I tested multiple times and each time removing More Nightly Events eliminated the issue while putting it back in brought it back.

[hasty flume]

Might be a specific conflict with a mod you have and others don't, but that makes it difficult to figure out

[dire fractal]

oh fun, my statue of treasure is an error sign

[hasty flume]

Yeah, that'll be bc you still had sve's old json assets component.

[dire fractal]

ahhh

[hasty flume]

Just spawn in a new one with cjb

[dire fractal]

cjb?

[hasty flume]

Cjb item spawner, popular cheat mod, good for situations like these

I could go buy a new one

[hasty flume]

If you want to buy it twice I guess

[night bough]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/93 up to you but heres the link

[hasty flume]

Point is, sve moved all its items over to cp, so anything you had that was using json assets is gonna be an error

oh mannnn

alright might just

Also, good rule of thumb to never install a mod (aside from some cp mods) that hasn't been updated since March 19 2024

If it hasn't been updated since before then, check the comments to see if it's broken before you install it

[tawny oracle]

Yeah, I truly should’ve known better.

[night bough]

(except portraiture which is somehow march 4 and the recommended replacement for hd portraits but yeah march 19 very good rule of 👍 )

[hasty flume]

There are a couple of completely random mods that still work, but I don't like to encourage that kind of experimentation in this channel. Too much risk

[robust bison]

good measure is checking the comments

if it doesn't work you'll see people asking when the update is

if it does you'll see people complaining about something

[hasty flume]

If nexus users can be relied on to do one thing, it's complain

[stark horizon]

Hiya! Thanks for the detailed intro! I don't mind pings, and the more details the better. When SMAPI is reinstalled, it can overrride manually adjusted folder locations, which can disrupt aliases and symlinks. I wonder if that's what happened here.

Val had a copy of SMAPI - let's call that SMAPI 1; when Val dragged their Error Logs folder to the Favorites sidebar, that file location was for SMAPI 1. Then when SMAPI was reinstalled, the folder is still physically there but it doesn't direct to anything, because SMAPI 2 created a "new" Error Logs folder. I can see the path to the folder, and it's possible that Val didn't let the game/SMAPI run long enough to capture enough text for the log.

Based on some of the screenshots, I'm actually wondering if there were 2 Mods folders. Because that last screenshot of the Mods folder didn't show the full folder path, just that the mods were being accessed via the folder dropped in Favorites.

I don't know if this is helpful, but I would want to see the full folder path that isn't accessed via the sidebar.

For the record, I think you took all the right steps - I think the log issue might be that SMAPI didn't have enough time to record a log.

Plus, any previous error logs would have been deleted on the reinstall

Ah! Then what I feared is true! I did this to them by suggesting the favorites trick 😅 But I assumed that Go to Folder would bypass any faulty pathing due to the favoriting, but I guess that's incorrect? (whoops sent too soon)

[stark horizon]

I realized this when I was testing 1.6 alpha and 1.5.6 at the same time. I set up multiple aliases and symlinks, and at one point had 4 executables on my MacBook.

Chaos ensued - let's just say that. 😄

What I've done now is that I keep the "Common" folder in my favorites

But if I have multiple executables, every time I switch or have to update SMAPI, my aliases/symlinks get broken.

[night bough]

So I suppose the best outcome is that in time the issue will sort itself? I swear I got Val to relaunch enough to the point of generating a log... is there a higher text barrier on the first log than on subsequent ones? I mean I've seen logs that end at "Mods loading in" when Steam is having a rough day.

[stark horizon]

That's a good question I don't know if I can answer. I suspect so, since that initial launch after a SMAPI reinstall does take longer, but I typically wait until I reach the title screen before checking for a log, unless we have a fatal crash

In which case we'd have a Mac Console log to back it up

[night bough]

When you say Mac Console do you mean what I asked Val to send in place of a log? (just checking I asked for the right thing)

[stark horizon]

The only other possibility I can think of in Val's case is that they somehow had two versions.

So, the Mac Console log is accessed via the Console Application

It logs any OS crashes

(like segfault errors, for example)

[night bough]

Okay. This is where my lack of cs knowledge is the death of me. But instead of grilling you, I'll go do some reading 😆 . But in the meantime, would this make sense as a checklist for Val or similar cases:

1. After playing a bit, do you have logs? If not,
2. Can you take a screenshot of your "Stardew Valley" folder with Show Path Bar enabled in Finder>View (to check for multiple mod folders)
3. For future, put "Common" folder in favorites instead of "Mods" folder (and perhaps ".config" instead of "ErrorLogs"?)

[stark horizon]

Yes - that looks fabulous. Also make sure that they have "Show Path Bar" enabled in Finder->View

I don't know everything either - I've just learned a lot through trial and error

[night bough]

Thank you so much!

[stark horizon]

Anytime!

[night bough]

Like genuinely so much! Not just for the help but for the whole thing

[stark horizon]

Aww, you're welcome! Happy to help. Ping me anytime, and if I'm free, I'll run right over.

[night bough]

Oh! And if Im being super selfish I actually have an issue of my own that I wonder if you might have anything to add to

[stark horizon]

Sure - what's going on?

[night bough]

https://github.com/Floogen/Stardrop/issues/175 (Literally no pressure to read please 🙏 But if you have the time but more importantly the interest, I'd be very interested in your thoughts.) Tldr: SMAPI console not showing when launching through stardrop. With the help of Yariazen, we hypothesized that SMAPI was hiding inside/hijacking(?) Stardrop.app. I didn't post the issue but I did leave two comments (the second one being the more informative).

[night bough]

If its an issue for PeacefulEnd as Yariazen thought, I just wanted to make sure I provided as much information as possible to make it as easy as possible to fix (if possible).

[stark horizon]

I've never used Stardrop, not because I don't think it's awesome, but because I have a system that works for me and I'm stubborn.

Let me look through this and if anything pops out at me, I'll let you know! But I suspect that Yariazen is right.

I don't believe that there is an option from within Stardrop to open/launch a Terminal window, is there?

This line from your log jumps out at me - [5/9/2024 7:52:32PM][Debug][C:\Users\Floogen\Documents\GitHub Repos\Stardrop\Stardrop\Views\WarningWindow..ctor: Line 36] Created a warning window with the following text: [OK] The given file isn't StardewModdingAPI.dll

Because if you're on Mac, then it shouldn't be looking for the .dll

[night bough]

Huh. Every time I fill out the path to StardewModdingAPI it asks specifically for .dll

[stark horizon]

I could be off my rocker, but let me check something

For Mac/Linux users it should be looking for the UNIX executable

[night bough]

Also no. Just launch SMAPI or pufferchick (same thing different buttons). Within Steam launch options you can auto launch smapi but still same process afaik

[stark horizon]

I don't know this to be true, but I'm curious if the Mac version of Stardrop is looking for the .dll when it should be looking for the Unix file

And that would be a Peace thing, yeah

[night bough]

Let me try picking the unix in settings

[stark horizon]

cool cool

[night bough]

screen recording probably excessive but oh well i did it

(also horrible crop lol)

[stark horizon]

Interesting. And you for sure, 100% no doubt downloaded the Mac version?

[night bough]

Definitely

[stark horizon]

bummer. Yeah, I think Peace will have to take a look

But to your question - I think you've given sufficient information for Peace to understand and be able to dig into it!

[night bough]

Do you think I should mention the .dll vs. unix bit?

[stark horizon]

It might be worth mentioning, for sure. It could amount to nothing, but you never know!

[night bough]

I have trouble imagining anything you could bring up about stardew amounting to nothing 😆

[stark horizon]

lol

By that I guess I mean that just because Stardrop says it's not the .dll doesn't mean that the code doesn't direct to the unix file, if that makes sense?

Like it could be a simple word error

[night bough]

Gotcha! And besides, I've already got a system now for when mac users bring it up in here. I just send them to https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/21035 if they're just dying to debug 😆

[stark horizon]

Hey, that works too!

[night bough]

Oh and last but not least, I spent too long in academia and am now a stickler for citations, so my apologies but I have to ask if you're okay with me saying that .dll vs unix was "suggested by Logo" 😆

[stark horizon]

Of course, not at all.

And if you hear back, I'd love to know what the results are!

random question, i have seasonal characters slightly cuter aesthetic and i have the options so all of them have noses right? but why is demetrius the only one without a nose?
