smapi is installed

[hasty flume]

And it's smapi they've tripped up on

[dense dust]

for them

[blazing bridge]

one sec 😭

[hasty flume]

In the mods folder tho

[dense dust]

k?
just launch the file again

[hasty flume]

They installed it in the mods folder, it hasn't been done correctly

So they need to delete this mods folder so reinstalling smapi in the correct location works properly

[modest grail]

SMAPI will throw errors about it being in the Mods folder if they don't fix ^

[hasty flume]

Bc I think they may have attempted to make their own mods folder to install smapi in

[hasty flume]

This isn't just the installer in the mods folder, it's the whole exe. It's been installed in the wrong place entirely

[modest grail]

I'm agreeing with you 😛

[blazing bridge]

im-
confused

[dense dust]

first things first, delete your "mods" folder

[blazing bridge]

okay

[dense dust]

yes i know that has everything in it

but its in the wrong spot

[hasty flume]

I'm just saying, it won't just throw errors. It probably won't work at all

[blazing bridge]

done
whats next?

[dense dust]

then you need to valate the steam files
go to see, right click stardew > properties > installed files > valitate

this will restore things to how they where

[modest grail]

!reset

[native dragon]

Please reset your game files. This will fix any broken game files, but won't affect your save files or mods.

If you use XNB mods, see using XNB mods for more info about why they're deprecated, and a list of Content Patcher alternatives.

To use this command, type !reset.

[hasty flume]

Then follow the getting started guide to reinstall smapi properly

!gs

[native dragon]

If you would like a guide to setting up mods for Stardew Valley, check out the getting started guide! https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide

To use this command, type !gs.

[dense dust]

guys stop overwelming them

[hasty flume]

Smapi doesn't go in the mods folder. Smapi creates the mods folder

[blazing bridge]

valitate where

[dense dust]

third option

[covert moth]

why does my smapi keep showing up after i deleted it

[dense dust]

"verify integraty of game files"

[blazing bridge]

okay

[hasty flume]

Did you edit your steam launch options?

[dense dust]

how are you deleting it?

sorry for the ping wall lol

[covert moth]

yes i removed everything, its blank

[covert moth]

i just deleted the files

[modest grail]

Qysa, the command I used gives them step by step instructions for exactly what you are doing in the link to "reset your game files." I was just attempting to save you some time. ❤️

I'll bow out though, to prevent any further confusion

[dense dust]

ya i know but if they are like me, then looking at a wall of text is very overwelming
thanks for helping though ❤️

[blazing bridge]

still verifying
need to wait

[dense dust]

kk
sometimes can take a while ya

[blazing bridge]

thanks guys
im sorry im slow

[dense dust]

its okay. these things are always hard to do first time

once you know how it will be easy after that

[blazing bridge]

yes (⁠´⁠；⁠ω⁠；⁠｀⁠)

[covert moth]

can someone help with this please? i removed it from my launch options and deleted the smapi files

[dense dust]

lauch the smapi install file

[modest grail]

You need to use the SMAPI installer to uninstall SMAPI properly.

[dense dust]

then once you chose the location you can choose to unistall

[covert moth]

how can i do that

[dense dust]

.

[covert moth]

so i install smapi again?

[dense dust]

nah, its just how to open the smapi options

in a sense

[blazing bridge]

done valitating
what is the next step?

[modest grail]

Part of the 'installer' prompts is an uninstall option. 🙂

[dense dust]

you have the SMAPI install file still?
the one from the zip?

[covert moth]

where can i find it at? is it on the website?

[blazing bridge]

yes
where do i extract it?

[modest grail]

You can get a copy of the SMAPI installer again from NexusMods or smapi.io

[hasty flume]

Your downloads folder will be fine

[dense dust]

anywhere.
i would do eather documents or just in the dowloads. just need to use the install file

[blazing bridge]

okay

[dense dust]

now are you on mac, windows, or linux?

[blazing bridge]

windows

[dense dust]

okay
in the smapi folder that you extracted, there should be a "install on windows.bat" file

[covert moth]

okay so i download smapi from nexus mods and what do i do after that

[hasty flume]

Do what you did when you installed smapi in the first place

[modest grail]

Listen to Megan's instructions from here, anya, they've got you covered.

[hasty flume]

Just read the prompts on the console and hit the keys for uninstall instead of install

[covert moth]

thank you!!! i think it got it now LOL

[dense dust]

press 1

[blazing bridge]

oke
done installing

[dense dust]

kk
so, do you want to know how to do i manualy or just want to use a program that can install the mods for you. (also will keep your config files in tact when updating mods)

some people prefer manualy some like to use the program (stardrop)

[blazing bridge]

i think better i do it manually
is it hard?

[hasty flume]

Nope

[dense dust]

no not at all

just some people like to have a program do it for them

[covert moth]

smapi still pops up when i open a modpack on curseforge

[dense dust]

you already have files of the mods you want ya?

[blazing bridge]

yes

[dense dust]

are they extracted?

[blazing bridge]

not yet

[dense dust]

(not in zip form)

[hasty flume]

Ok so why are you getting your mods from curseforge?

[blazing bridge]

these two

[dense dust]

k
can you extract them for me?
somewhere you can grab at them

[blazing bridge]

okay

[hasty flume]

Also, how are you intending to use mods without smapi? All mods need smapi except for xnbs

[dense dust]

smapi is installed

[hasty flume]

I am not talking to laon

[dense dust]

opps sorry
my bad

[blazing bridge]

done extract

[covert moth]

so, my friends who have never downloaded smapi or mods from nexus downloaded a curseforge modpack and im trying to do the same but my smapi keeps showing up when i open the modpack

which is why im trying to remove smapi

[blazing bridge]

whats next? @dense dust

[dense dust]

sorry had to deal with something

you see this in your stardew folder?

or do you need to pull it up

[hasty flume]

Ok so I think we have fundamentally misunderstood your problem. What do you mean by smapi "pops up"?

[blazing bridge]

its fine

[dense dust]

right click stardew on steam and go to mannage > brows personal files

[blazing bridge]

yes yes
i have it

[dense dust]

kk
put the extracted mods in the mods folder

[blazing bridge]

all of the file?

[dense dust]

yes

[blazing bridge]

okay

[covert moth]

this

[dense dust]

yes thats correct

[blazing bridge]

okay, whats next?

[hasty flume]

Ok so I don't use curseforge, so I don't know how that site works, but you do understand that you need smapi to use mods, right?

[scarlet quail]

SMAPI is supposed to show up when you launch with mods.

[dense dust]

right click stardew on steam then click properites

[scarlet quail]

There's no bypassing that if you mod SDV.

[hasty flume]

I thought you were trying to run vanilla

[covert moth]

yes i know but i dont understand how that modpack is working for them when they dont have smapi installed

[dense dust]

it should already be in the "general" tab

[scarlet quail]

the modpack is not working for them if they don't have SMAPI installed

[hasty flume]

Have you considered the possibility that smapi is in that modpack?

[dense dust]

see this box?
(it will prob be not filled with text for you)

[scarlet quail]

So either it isn't working or, more likely, they have SMAPI installed.

[blazing bridge]

yes yes and?

[naive leaf]

probably not possible.

[naive leaf]

You'd have to run the smapi installer.

[scarlet quail]

Here's an easier way to clear up this misunderstanding. What specifically makes you believe that they are able to load modded without SMAPI?

[hasty flume]

Only possibility I can think of

[dense dust]

put this in the box

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

the whole chat msg

this will allow you to get achivments while using mods

[blazing bridge]

just copy and enter right

[dense dust]

yes

[blazing bridge]

done

[dense dust]

now launch stardew through steam

a comand window will come up

dont close it

this is just smapi
it will run in the background while you play

[naive leaf]

if it doesn't come up, or if an error comes up, you probably forgot the %command% part

or the "

[naive leaf]

Take a screenshot of what you have in the box.

[dense dust]

was gong to ask that ya

[scarlet quail]

so going to interrupt this attempt at the launch options

[covert moth]

i keep getting this error and they arent which is why i thought it had something to do with smapi

[scarlet quail]

That's not the right thing for them

[scarlet quail]

See the filepath here

[odd urchin]

I dowloaded the individual files from Nyapus Portraits but they still aren't loading in game. I'm at a loss.

[hasty flume]

No you just have an outdated version of better chests

[scarlet quail]

it's not located in program files, although I am very, very, very concerned it's in the Windows folder

[naive leaf]

...oh my god why is it in the windows folder.

[hasty flume]

Dangers of curseforge. A lot on mods there are outdated

[naive leaf]

your version is out of date.

[dense dust]

ah

[naive leaf]

you have to replace the mod files in the corresponding mods in order to get some of nyapu's portraits to work

[scarlet quail]

Anywho. Correct launch options would be "C:\Windows\steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command% at present. But I am very, very, very much going to suggest maybe fixing the steam install so it's not in the windows folder

[naive leaf]

So if you download SVE's nyapu's portraits, you have to replace sve's portraits with nyapu's.

[scarlet quail]

That seems dangerous.

[covert moth]

idk how its working for them and not mine

[blazing bridge]

[odd urchin]

so uh just copy, paste and overwrite?

[naive leaf]

get it from nexus.

[naive leaf]

yes.

[odd urchin]

aight, thanks

[hasty flume]

Idk but you should really be getting your mods from nexus

[covert moth]

we're playing on a curseforge modpack

[dense dust]

oh wai ya, just saw that.
strange that steam would do that

[covert moth]

yes ill try to talk them into getting mods from nexus

[naive leaf]

Get the mods manually from nexus.

[covert moth]

i can do that?

[hasty flume]

And curseforge doesn't always have up to date mods. If it's working for them they may have an older version of stardew

[dense dust]

in case you were wondering Leon, we are seeing that steam installed your stardew in a windows dependacy folder

[naive leaf]

yes.

[covert moth]

okay thank you ill try it out

[dense dust]

this normaly dose not happen and can lead to bad things lol

[blazing bridge]

a-

[naive leaf]

Make sure you and your friend get your mods from nexus from here on. Just look up the name of the mod on nexus that you have.

[dense dust]

dont worry we can fix it

[blazing bridge]

what should i do :<

[hasty flume]

Modpacks are also often full of stolen mods so don't bother with them

[naive leaf]

Hopefully not all of your games are in the windows directory.

[dense dust]

one sec i will figure this out
just need to check things

[odd urchin]

I paste them into sve assets?

[scarlet quail]

(In this case, it's more CurseForge is not recommended for SDV modding due to being outdated and also not having most of the mods that actually work on 1.6. CurseForge apparently still installs Bookcase, which instantly breaks on even 1.5.6)

[blazing bridge]

im kinda scared

[blazing bridge]

okay

[dense dust]

hey @scarlet quail
dose it also look like all of steam is in the windows folder?

[naive leaf]

wherever the portraits are stored, yes.

[scarlet quail]

Yep.

This is why I recommended they look into fixing that first, though that's out of scope for us in here.

[naive leaf]

how do you put...all of steam in windows...

[dense dust]

opp i missed that then

[scarlet quail]

I don't know how it got installed in there as it never would have done that on its own.

[dense dust]

question Laon
how did you install steam?

[hasty flume]

Well they initially somehow installed all of smapi in their mods folder so they're very talented

I've literally never seen that before

[blazing bridge]

just install from the web and click click

[dense dust]

hmmm

[blazing bridge]

i dont pay attention on where would the file go

[naive leaf]

okay now i have to ask, just in case steam is somehow installed correctly, did you pirate this game?

[dense dust]

may i ask the other people if i am correct in assuming that they need to reinstall steam again or can we just move it

[blazing bridge]

what is pirate?

[hasty flume]

Did you purchase the game?

[naive leaf]

they'd have to reinstall steam.

[dense dust]

valid question

[dense dust]

ya thought so

[blazing bridge]

i got it from my partner, he bought it for me

[naive leaf]

WHich means redownloading all their games.

[naive leaf]

did you get it from steam?

he, rather.

[blazing bridge]

yes100%

[dense dust]

intresting

[blazing bridge]

i just have two games tho, i think its okay to reinstall

[naive leaf]

okay, well. If that's indeed the case, you need to uninstall and reinstall steam.

[dense dust]

how much GB of games do you have installed on your steam?
just so we know how much storage we are working with to move

reinstall i mean

ah okay

[blazing bridge]

okayy

[naive leaf]

And pelase pay attention to where you're putting steam.

[dense dust]

should be a file called program files (x86)

[hasty flume]

Laon I want you to know I'm genuinely impressed and horrified all at once at what you've accomplished here today

[blazing bridge]

less than 1gb i think, its fine

[dense dust]

kk

[blazing bridge]

where should i put it

[blazing bridge]

😭 idk is that what or what

[naive leaf]

program files(x86)

IT SHOULD default to that location.

[blazing bridge]

okay, ill update you guys after i reinstall it

[naive leaf]

I don't know why the HELL it put it in windows.

C:\Program Files (x86)

or something like that.

[naive leaf]

actually, when it installs, take a screenshot of where it says the location is.

[hasty flume]

You're doing great, don't give up, but good God you've achieved things in the installation process that have not been achieved before and probably shouldn't have been

[blazing bridge]

is this right?

[naive leaf]

Yes.

Did you uninstall steam first.

[blazing bridge]

okay T^T

[naive leaf]

if you have multiple steams, i'd be scared.

[blazing bridge]

yes i did

[naive leaf]

Okay good.

[blazing bridge]

no no 😭

[naive leaf]

Just know you have to reinstall smapi again too.

And your mods.

[nimble delta]

hii i was trying to load my save file but smapi keeps crashing on the loading screen. does anyone know how to fix this?

its okay friends
me too

[hasty flume]

Ok so according to that you have no mods installed

[odd urchin]

O_O how

[hasty flume]

Not even the smapi defaults

[odd urchin]

i was literally playing with my mods earlier. Messed everything up when trying to get a portrait pack to load

[hasty flume]

Can you send a quick screenshot of your mods folder, and include the filepath?

[hasty flume]

And maybe link the mod you were trying to install when everything broke?

[odd urchin]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11491?tab=files

I was trying to replace the portraits but uh guess i did it wrong

I've used portait packs before and had no problem

[hasty flume]

Ok so first thing I'm noticing is for some reason smapi wants your mods in app data????

[odd urchin]

i dont even know what that means

I'm using stardrop if that helps

[naive leaf]

uninstall and reinstall smapi.

that's basically what i can tell you-

Also I have my own issue? My screen keeps flashing black whenever I put something into the shipping bin. Like every item.

[odd urchin]

I don't even know how to uninstall it. It's not showing up in installed apps

[hasty flume]

This is the problem. These should be the same

Ok thanks discord

[naive leaf]

run the smapi installer, but choose 'uninstall'

[odd urchin]

ah

[naive leaf]

My issue.

??????????

DISCORD YOU WAFFLE.

[hasty flume]

.mkv??????

[naive leaf]

FUCKING OBS

[modest grail]

Reopen it in OBS and then remux it into an actual useable format xD

[odd urchin]

ok so smapi is uninstalled. I need to reinstall but not in uh... steam apps? do a custom path?

[native dragon]

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

[naive leaf]

no, do it in steam apps

for some reason it moved to app data

[blazing bridge]

ok guys, here it is

[odd urchin]

weird. I didn't do anything different last time I installed it

[naive leaf]

good! Now you can install mods.

[blazing bridge]

YEAYYYYYY

[naive leaf]

you just wait for that window to finish doing its thing and boom.

[hasty flume]

HELL YEAH

[naive leaf]

dont close out of that window when you're playing though'

[blazing bridge]

its working

omg

thank god

[naive leaf]

you did it!

the hardest part is over!

[blazing bridge]

thank you guysssssssss

[naive leaf]

just make sure when you update mods, you delete the old and replace with the new

if you overwrite, that's no good.

[blazing bridge]

okayyy :D

*sobbin

thank you so much

[naive leaf]

[blazing bridge]

:"D

[hasty flume]

And keep your mods in their folders, I noticed in your original screenshot you had .dll files outside their mod folders

[naive leaf]

All you do is unzip them.

[blazing bridge]

okay :D

[blazing bridge]

😭

yeh, i'll manage it soon

[naive leaf]

Also here's my log. just in case it was missed

I have no idea why this is happening.

[hasty flume]

Basically your mods folder should have no loose files. Only folders

[naive leaf]

if it's a mod. I'm gonna. heccin. im gonna implode.

[blazing bridge]

okayyy

[odd urchin]

for some reason when I've been launching stardew previous to this current kerfuffle, it's been failing to respond. A quick reset of my laptop and it works fine

[hasty flume]

Honestly I would be squinting at better chests, it's very out of date

[naive leaf]

...oh yeah. I've been neglecting that one.

[hasty flume]

And it would be related to your shipping bin behavior

[hasty flume]

That may have been a memory issue. I've had that happen to me before

[odd urchin]

okay, gonna give it another go and see if the portraits load

[hasty flume]

Ok hold on

The original advice you were given was to replace the portraits in mod folders, but the mod you linked was for vanilla portraits

[odd urchin]

there's a file page with all the other files

[naive leaf]

that mod, in extra files, has mod replacements.

nyapu has portraits for like...god knows how many mods.

[odd urchin]

i downloaded the ridgeside, eastcarp and sve

[hasty flume]

Ah, ok, just wanted to make sure you didn't put these in the vanilla files

[naive leaf]

...that fixed it. I don't know how, or why, but thank.

[hasty flume]

Sometimes the obvious solution is the correct one

[naive leaf]

...Alright! I love new problems! My text isn't showing up?

Oh, right, log hold on

Poky edited the content.json but they said it worked for them just fine?

the content.json was edited so it could load with dsv a bit faster.

But I don't know if it's related.

I'll test it out real quick

...oh it is the problem.

okay! time for me to tweak.

..uh i actually don't know what i need to tweak.

[odd urchin]

I found a couple npcs in east carp with the portraits but it didn't work for sve or ridgeside, sigh

do I need to replace vanilla files and sve files?

[hasty flume]

Not vanilla, yes sve

[odd urchin]

well I replaced them,... or at least there was an attempt lol

I also apparently messed up something else cause when I load smapi it says something about a non existent file pertaining to jonimos

[modest grail]

You should never be changing the vanilla files directly, so if you did, you may need to reset your game files

But posting the log with the new error would be helpful

[hasty flume]

Rsv and sve have been updated a few times since nyapu's has been, it's possible their file structure for portraits has changed since then

[dense pendant]

i just wanted to say thank you to the people who helped me out yesterday! i can finally play expanded and im so happy!

[hasty flume]

Ok so when you added the portraits, did you overwrite or replace?

[odd urchin]

uh, i think overwrite

whatever i did, it worked for east carp

im just gonna scrap everything and start from scratch

[hasty flume]

Ok, so in this case overwrite was what you were supposed to do, but it looks like somehow there's a portrait missing from sve's code? So I'd reinstall sve and the portraits

[odd urchin]

sve or nyapus sve?

[hasty flume]

Both

Beyond that, check the upload dates for the mod vs the portraits. Any missing portraits could be explained by the mod updating after the last time the portraits were updated

[odd urchin]

this modding stuff hurts my brain. last time i played was on mac and took me a bit but felt like i got it down. its been a couple years and now im on windows and feels like im starting all over again

[hasty flume]

You unfortunately picked a complicated one. Portrait mods that require replacing original files are a bit advanced

Since it has to be done manually

[odd urchin]

got a strange message from stardrop when i redownloaded sve so I launched to test it. didnt get any errors about missing files this time. hopefully i replace stuff correctly this time

[naive leaf]

what was the strange message

[odd urchin]

failed to delete the old instance, files may not have installed correctly... roughly is what it said

[naive leaf]

... oh that's. hm.

okay well go through and delete it from your mods folder.

because if it couldn't delete correctly, who knows what all it did

[odd urchin]

aight, got a clean install

.... i dont know what im doing wrong. no errors but the portraits still arent loading

[modest grail]

Can you type patch summary and then enter into the black SMAPI window?

[hasty flume]

have you futzed with the settings of better chests at all? bc i think it expands chest inventory by default, so you need to turn that off

[naive leaf]

I did turn it off...it's set to disabled.

[hasty flume]

welp

[naive leaf]

this is why i didnt want to update better chests.

because every update, something breaks...

[hasty flume]

it was broken before you updated too tho

it was raving on you

[naive leaf]

It was fine for a good while.

[hasty flume]

just because it worked before doesnt mean it will work forever

[naive leaf]

I know.

[hasty flume]

if support had a welcome mat thats what it would read

[naive leaf]

I'm just upset that now I have to rollback a version or something, because the bug reports are closed on the nexus page, and i don't remember the @ of who made the mod here.

[hasty flume]

lefauxmatt

its the same as his nexus name

[naive leaf]

@worthy moth Having some issues with the settings NOT applying to chests, unless I have to reboot the game.

gonna try uninstalling and reinstalling i guess.

the mod.

Yeah, okay. The game is reading them as large chests or something.

That, or something is making my chests 36 slots by default.

I reboot the game, i uninstalled and reinstalled the mod, and it's still 36 slots.

[hasty flume]

so resize chest is set to default, and if im remembering better chests correctly default is the expanded inventory

have you tried pulling that bar around to see if you can find a disabled setting?

[naive leaf]

There is no disabled setting, so...

[hasty flume]

look its been a hot minute since ive used better chests

[naive leaf]

I'm only getting mad at myself

because this should be super fucking obvious, and i shouldn't be getting this bent about it.

[hasty flume]

im just going off what it says in the documentation. default isnt off, its large

[naive leaf]

Christ, i figured it out. It's in a completely different menu.

Big craftables>chest>resize chest menu>disabled

Why is it in a completely dfiferent menu.

[hasty flume]

dfiferent

[naive leaf]

....shhh.

Hello, my SMAPI keep force closing any help for fix it? I'm playing on mobile btw

[steel nebula]

hey all is anyone playing with the phoenix expansion mod and have updated to 2.0 at all?

[dire fractal]

Hi, anyone can help how the CBJ cheats work? After I install and set the correct path on steam, when I press P, nothing comes out.

[jagged marsh]

Dumb question, but are you sure SMAPI is launching? It should pop up a console, if so. If it is, look at the output in the console for the list of mods running and check whether CBJCheats is listed.

I only mention checking that SMAPI is running because it sounds like first time setup if you're setting the launch path on steam.

[fervent saddle]

!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.

To use this command, type !androidsmapi.

[loud sky]

does anyone have this issue or know how to fix it please 🙏 (ping response also pls)

[woven thunder]

I seee

Thank you

[dire fractal]

didn't show the CBJCheats from the console. It says 2 mods installed, when I check, no folder for CBJcheats

[fervent saddle]

the 2 mods installed are probably the default smapi mods?
console commands and save backup

[dire fractal]

yes

[jagged marsh]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4 Grab it from here, open the zip, copy the folder into your mods folder

[dire fractal]

ok let me try

[dire fractal]

You saved my farming life! Thank you so much!

[jagged marsh]

For some reason I thought it was included by default, but it's been a long time since I did a fresh install. Glad I could help.

[dire fractal]

all the instructions I've been reading said it is automatically installed on new patch release, for some reason didn't work. Thanks again!

[shy orbit]

thank u!!

[hasty flume]

i think yall are thiking of console commands, which is included with smapi

[glad elk]

Hello,
I get a message that i am using old mod: [SMAPI] You can update 1 mod: [SMAPI] (BL) Desert 1.2.0 ..... (you have 1.0.5)
but, there is no new version on the page that smapi is sending me to. and I checked the "unofficial version for bus location" on github and even that file is not the version i should have.... does someone know where i can get the correct/last version?

[shy orbit]

can you link the page that smapi gives you?

[glad elk]

[SMAPI] (BL) Desert 1.2.0: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2905 (you have 1.0.5)

[lean star]

can you open the manifest in the [BL] Desert folder of the mod? not the one in BusLocations

[glad elk]

yes:

[lean star]

change that version number

they put the update keys in both but only updated one manifest
nope, not true

[shy orbit]

that seems to be unnecessary to have though, since it's some kind of example mod?

unless you want that additional way to get to the desert

[glad elk]

I am not sure if it is unnecessary or not, as i have expanded, east carp, and ridgeside running rn - and somewhere in notes i read that if i remove the bl:desert i will nto be bale to go there.

[glad elk]

thank you. i changed the number

oh

[lean star]

actually, you forgot to update that one

   "Author": "Hootless",
   "Version": "1.2.0",```

and they removed the update key as well, kinda
"UpdateKeys": [ "N"],

[lean star]

from the author:

removing the "[BL] Desert" makes the desert inaccessible, so I would recommend not removing it

[glad elk]

okay, I don't know how i managed to mess it up. because i downloaded it got the message to update , tried again same issue..
But i tried once more and it is not there. (the msg in smapi)
sorry, apparently i had to do something wrong when downloading the mod. 🥲

[fervent saddle]

its possible the extraction just didnt work

it happens

[lean star]

since you mentioned the unofficial version but linked to the original, are you playing on 1.5.6 or 1.6.x?

[glad elk]

1.6.8 i think, now? (smapi says)

definitelly 1.6. something

[lean star]

aha, now that makes sense, and my first assumption was correct but that also makes it rather questionable

the unofficial from github comes with the 1.0.5 in the manifest, probably edited from the wrong manifest
but that means #archived-modded-support message does apply

meaning, get the mod from github again and change the version to 1.2.2-unofficial.1-Xytronix as it is in the one for BusLocations

[glad elk]

because i got the mod (like the link from nexus) but then checked the smapi info concerning mod and saw that for 1.6.x there is alternative.. so tried that but yeah the message was still there. - and this is a point where i was lost about what i am doing wrong.
Now, this make a sense to me, a bit.

[lean star]

I think they couldn't figure out why the i18n setup wasn't working and copied the [BL] Desert folder from 1.0.5 instead
unless you set the game to anything but English, it doesn't affect you

[glad elk]

Oh, okay. thank you so much!

[steady oyster]

As far as I personally know, the author of the mod for BusStations and TrainStations is now busy with higher-priority mods for version 1.6 of SDV. And as soon as the opportunity arises, he will work on other mods, including them.

[lean star]

if you're talking about Train Station, that's maintained by Pathos, but that is not the same as Bus Locations

[steady oyster]

Oh, okay

[latent cloak]

hey, i tried to add moded hair in my game but they dont seem to work

[steel ice]

Guys just got smapi how to avoid losing achievement and when i download mods do i meed to extract or just frag from winrar

[fervent saddle]

You won't lose achievements.
If you want to keep earning them as you play modded set the steam launch options to open smapi.
Extract.

question, if im using mods can i still play multiplayer- without my friends having the mods?

[blazing bridge]

thank youuuu

[naive leaf]

!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. The main mod page often includes information on whether or not they work in multiplayer. However, in general, your mod lists should match exactly.

See the wiki page for more details on how mods work in multiplayer!

Multiplayer Mod Checker is an easy way to determine if host/farmhand mods match.

To use this command, type !mpmods.

[steel ice]

Yah but i read something about copy paste and don’t download in the samw page

But i got already

I downloaded it normally

[restive cypress]

You click on that above and it downloads the zip to your downloads folder, you then unzip/extract that folder and place it in your mods folder (but you'll need to delete the old UiInfosuite2 that's currently located in your mods folder so the new version doesn't overite it)

[steel ice]

Do yk how to open th mod settings

[steel ice]

I did thank you

[restive cypress]

You can check the config by using the Generic Mod Config Menu mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5098) and to open the settings with the GMCM click the cog in the lefthand bottom corner and a list of configurable mods will show up, UiInfoSuite2 should be amongst the list.

Hi peeps,
does anyone know what happened to the Modular Gameplay Overhaul MARGO? On Nexus only the translations are left and the github page is closed as well 😦

[restive cypress]

It's currently been converted into separate mods e.g. Walk of life (WOL) Is currently in 1.6 beta https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/24355

i'll ask him to show me how he installed it when he wakes up. keeping y'all updated

[restive cypress]

Can you ask him to post a screenshot of his Stardew Valley Folder and Mods folder?

[sleek pawn]

Ooooh, going back to single ones, as some of the modules are not working that well with the newest updates I suppose? Thanks, I didn't have the link to the original mod anymore and didn't expect the collection to shut down 😅

[restive cypress]

You can type !MARGO in governors-mansion for more details

I'm sorry. I don't know

[neat plaza]

wdym you dont know

you're asking what to do with an update

[boreal heron]

is it the mod loader or a mod with an error

[devout ingot]

they posted a log above with a crash, guessing they don't know what you are asking because of language barrier?

[boreal heron]

oh possibly

is there anything to help clarify

[devout ingot]

from the log it looks like you extracted some mod (SMAPI and possibly more?) without its own folder, that is likely causing the crash, you should never have folders like i18n in \Mods directly -> you should remove all these extra files and install SMAPI through installer and not by extracting

[vocal depot]

Do I download it here?

[devout ingot]

I think that page will just send you to different locations you can download it from, I usually download from Nexus

[boreal heron]

yah I think so

It gives you options from Nexus CurseForge and Github

Nexus is the easier one to use

Hi. Where do mods that require content patcher go? This one just came as a xnb alone

And yes, I have Content Patcher installed

[devout ingot]

I think you need to convert it for Content Patcher

[main crane]

What does that mean

[devout ingot]

XNB mods was the old way of doing things before Content Patcher was created

[fervent saddle]

!xnb

[native dragon]

XNB mods often break the game and are not recommended. See:

• using XNB mods for more info and a list of Content Patcher alternatives;
• reset your content files to fix problems caused by XNB mods.

For mod creators, see editing XNB files for help unpacking & editing them (including for use with Content Patcher).

was doing the clean copy a bad idea?😅

Your game path looks odd. Did you by chance have two copies potentially?

It seems like maybe SMAPI can't find your game. I recommend a fresh download of smapi, don't move it out of downloads etc when you extract it and try to run the installer again, let me see what the path is you are putting into it

[echo garnet]

oh thank u!!!

[sly elm]

hmm is there any particular reason you're still playing with the old version?

[echo garnet]

Honestly I no idea i was using an old version, Like old version of the actual game or with smapi?

[sly elm]

both :D

the newest game version is 1.6.8, smapi is 4.0.8

[echo garnet]

i just re-downloaded both today.

[echo garnet]

how should I go about getting the new version?

[sly elm]

that is a good question. where do you download stardew valley from?

[echo garnet]

I downloaded it from steam but am more than happy to get it from somewhere else if that will help.

[fervent saddle]

Are you perhaps in legacy edition

You can check by opening the SDV settings in steam and selecting Manage

Send a screenshot of the Betas tab

[echo garnet]

these are my options in the beta tab, none was auto selected

[fervent saddle]

Then I'm at a loss for why you can't update the game

I'll let someone else advise you

[echo garnet]

Im so sorry to trouble you guys:(

[sly elm]

you're not troubling anyone, don't worry

I already checked, your operating system is high enough to run 1.6 so that's also not the problem hmm

Remove vortex, install all the mods manually again.
Vortex loves to munch your mod files

You're also mising if2r. Error handler is obsolete with 1.6

Custom fixed dialogue is broken

I was thinking that one might weird out.

Guess I'll just have to live with it then. (please don't suggest polysweet, I don't want that one)

(Wasn't gonna)

Still it's funny

Free love says date the town

[eternal ravine]

(not implying you wanted, just a general note)

[wraith tendon]

I do not have this mod. Idk why smapi says I do. There’s actually quite a few mods in the log I do not have whatsoever.

[eternal ravine]

That's the point. One of your mods DNER IF2R map fix 3.0.1 doesn't run because you don't have it.

[wraith tendon]

Oh I see the miscommunication here. I’m not trying to run if2r. I recently started a new game save with grandpas farm instead. I will remove the recolor fix. Ty

[eternal ravine]

Yeah. But you have a mod needing it. But that doesn's solve your ctd issue.

[wraith tendon]

It runs now so 🤷🏻‍♀️

[earnest totem]

i have a bunch of modds that need updationg anyone have any advice on mass updating mods?

[eternal ravine]

Unless you want to invest into nexus premium and use stardrop.. Nope

[wraith tendon]

The ctd isn’t really my issue. It’s been broken for a while.

[gaunt gust]

Realistically, I don't do updates immediately

I tend to do a few at a time when I feel like it

One thing to note is that if you have a bunch of mods by the same author, I usually either update all of them or none of them

[eternal ravine]

Yeah, I usually also wait until I got a few mods to be updated.
And then I do like 20+ at once ._.

[eternal ravine]

An unstable game shouldn't really be the norm either

[wraith tendon]

I can't fix the mod myself. I need it for the lady wizard mod. I'm not sure what else I can do tbh.

[earnest totem]

i can share my situation and see what u think?

you're literally in the perfect place to ask for help with getting mods for SDV running

!modmanagerbugs

[native dragon]

Vortex (Nexus) and ModDrop both are mod managers that can help you keep your mods up to date, but they are difficult to troubleshoot. If you're looking for a mod manager that was written specifically for SDV and has troubleshooting logs built in, you can try Stardrop (!stardrop).

If you're using a non-Stardrop mod manager and ask for help troubleshooting, you can ask the Nexus Discord https://www.nexusmods.com/discord or the Moddrop Discord https://www.moddrop.com/app/about (scroll down). If you're using Stardrop, please remember to provide a Stardrop log.

I need help, I recently downloaded a bunch new mods and now when I load up the game, it does this.

[sly elm]

did you unzip them?

[misty tendon]

Yeah, but I also cant tell what mod all these are from. Most if not all my mods are from the stardew very expanded pack

[modest grail]

Your SVE files are failing to update check because the Nexus update key is unrecognized, where did you get SVE from?

Delete the SVE mod folders completely, redownload, and try to add them back again.

[misty tendon]

Yes

[modest grail]

Did you unzip them directly into the Mods folder?

That can cause the mod subfolders to disappear and just dump all the files loose in there

Extract in your downloads folder or wherever you downloaded the ZIP files to and just move the folders over in the future, if that is indeed the problem

[sly elm]

stardew very expanded is a collection on nexus, did you install those individually or through vortex?

[misty tendon]

Individually. Idk how to use vortex, it was confusing me

[misty tendon]

No, I moved them over to the folder

[modest grail]

If you look in your Mods folder, is everything neatly organized into folders for each mod or are there any loose files?

Also, if you look into a folder for any of those mods with red errors, do you see a manifest.json file in its folder?

[misty tendon]

It looks like this and yes

[modest grail]

Ok, seems like the path should be correct

If you scroll all the way to the bottom of your Mods folder, the last thing is the UI Info Suite folder, yes?

[misty tendon]

no its world maps

[modest grail]

Ah, I missed that one in your list

[modest grail]

Ok. And it's only the new mods from the collection that's broken, from the looks of it.

I know Grandpa's Farm and Immersive Farm 2 Remastered are typically not both able to be used, but that's a separate issue and wouldn't have anything to do with your manifest errors

Alright, give me a minute and we'll pull a specific mod's manifest to check it

[misty tendon]

ok

[boreal heron]

smapi.io/log/016117f2b4c14e1fbdaca10a97422ee3

I was doing good a little freezy but then my character couldnt move or do anything..

I dont know what went wrong

[modest grail]

Alright, let's start simple, go into [CP] Aimon's Fancy Greenhouse folder and open the manifest.json you should see there.
It should look like my screenshots, as I just downloaded a fresh copy from NexusMods.

[modest grail]

That's a config file, not a manifest. See how mine has one that says manifest ?

[misty tendon]

its all i got

[modest grail]

okay, so your manifest files are missing then, like the error stated. Try to redownload the mods individually from NexusMods and delete/replace the folders with the fresh downloads, you can try with just that mod for now to make sure the error goes away for it before tackling all of them, if you'd like.

Go here for that particular mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/16405?tab=files

And use the Manual download button instead of Vortex, just in case.

[misty tendon]

ok

[modest grail]

Sometimes Vortex takes a little nibble out of mods when they download through it, so that may have been what happened here.

Not always, but it's happened enough times that the manual download is safer when troubleshooting

[modest grail]

Immediately, I'm seeing two mods trying to load the same NPC exclusively, which could cause an eventual crash if it keeps trying. (Settling Waters 2.0 and Passerby Cemetery)

[boreal heron]

are they the same thing 😅

[modest grail]

They're trying to do the same thing, at least! Try taking one of them out and see if the issue persists? I'd drop Settling Waters unless you know the source, as I cannot find it on Nexus or anywhere else on a search.

[modest grail]

See above, and you have another issue with two more mods: Alecto the Witch and Nul Envoide- New NPC for Witch's Hut, as they both target the Witch.

I'm going to grab some lunch, feel free to ping me and I'll get back to y'all ASAP afterwards if nobody else jumps in to assist.

[boreal heron]

Have a good lunch!

yep, 4.0.8

[orchid locust]

aedenthorn and spacechase are two that stand out

[leaden radish]

nope

[boreal heron]

like where you have to do a path destination ( I think)

[leaden radish]

what about that?

[sly elm]

indeed a lot of them are not continued anymore - others are still being updated, and some are updated.

I can't say for sure for all but I'm looking and trying to see which ones I can say for sure have an update

[boreal heron]

there are a few mods Im waiting for like adventures guild expanded

[sly elm]

that has an update

adventure's guild expanded for 1.6

on nexus mods, search for that

[boreal heron]

really?

[orchid locust]

i use the mod compatibilty list to help but some of their mods didn't break

[boreal heron]

I couldve swore I checked

[orchid locust]

I do like to keep mods that are broken in my folder to help tell me if they get updated, unless they are completely abandoned

[sly elm]

Never Ending Adventure 1.0.2: definitely updated, bundled with the other part of sword and sorcery (can be found on nexus if you search for never ending adventure)

[boreal heron]

I dont see a new update

[sly elm]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/22591

[orchid locust]

awesome

[boreal heron]

ohhh

finally got it

[modest grail]

If you're looking to update mods and aren't sure if there's an update, https://smapi.io/mods can be very helpful in finding unofficial updates or continuations. 🙂

[sly elm]

with the 1.6 update, that's not the best way to go. many many many mods have changed owners and places, meaning you will never get an update notification even though there's an update. I recommend looking at the "posts" section of those old mods to see if someone linked new versions, and to put in the names into nexus search to see if the same mod got reuploaded with "1.6", or "redux" or "continued" added

[orchid locust]

I've noticed a few mods on the compatibilty list arent accurate. Custom transparency is broken, as is the unofficial update to timemaster

[boreal heron]

ohh okay

[modest grail]

That's why it's good to check the posts on the mod after, but the list can at least point you at whatever the current replacement is, in most cases to do that checking 🙂

[orchid locust]

I just don't want to forget about them, when you have 300 mods, its easy to forget what youv'e downloaded

[sly elm]

I'd just copypaste them out of the mod folder and look at them periodically

[misty tendon]

do you know what the NEA & Cot one is?

[orchid locust]

Not a bad idea

[hollow cosmos]

i've installed the overgrown fairy buildings mod but the farmhouse is still vanilla. i disabled any other mod that would overwrite the overgrown mod like cute valley but nothing is working ):

[sly elm]

that's never ending adventure

or rather, I'd take the mods out and search for replacements one by one and delete the ones I replaced already, most things did get replaced already especially when it comes to QoL mods

[sly elm]

added bonus is that you don't get a ton of red smapi errors and can actually see what's going on 😅

[orchid locust]

Stardrop is quite helpful

[sly elm]

ppja mods you're gonna have to throw out as they are definitely not getting updated anymore - wildflour or cornucopia are worthy replacements for that

Pytk lite, tmxl toolkit and shoptile framework will also not get updates and aren't used anymore, throw them out too

[orchid locust]

I've heard that they aren't being updated anymore, they don't currently seem broken. I've looked at cornucopia and saw that it hasn't gotten the cooking component as of yet

those mods seem to be dependencies for other mods

[sly elm]

spritemaster also doesn't work anymore

yes, dependencies for mods that won't work correctly anymore

you have to decide if you want to play 1.6 or stay with 1.5.6, if you keep those old mod versions, then you'll need to go back to 1.5.6

[orchid locust]

hmm

[sly elm]

but as I said, for most mods I see not working in your log, there's a different one or a continuation

love of cooking is in beta, that should come some time soon

integrated mineparts is long updated for example

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11881

[misty tendon]

thank you

[orchid locust]

This is very helpful

[misty tendon]

done redownloading, now to see if it worked

[orchid locust]

I really liked spritemaster, is that completely abandoned?

[sly elm]

yes

if you are searching for a mod that changes the look in a similar way, clear glasses might be a replacement

[orchid locust]

that is a great option, I originally got spritemastser for the purported optimization, but I liked the depixilization

[wintry pagoda]

not sure if this is a mod glitch or a game glitch, but i dont think its normal to have 2 babies in one cot?!

[orchid locust]

how about aedenthorn mods, will those be abandoned? I really like the custom resource nodes

[sly elm]

aedenthorn stopped modding for now, so pretty much all of their mods that are continued have been taken on by other people. looking at the mod page, I can see that someone posted a replacement in the "posts" section

[orchid locust]

sounds good, it wasn't too dificult to convert the BAGI to EBAGI so hopefully it will be similar for the CON

[neat plaza]

[odd urchin]

I'm going to attempt to install Nyapu's portraits again and wondering if anyone could walk me through it step by step. I can't seem to get it right.

[jagged marsh]

Ok, yeah, the giant glob of red is definitely because you're running out of date mods. You said you downloaded replacements? Where did you copy the mod folders to from the downloaded ones?

There's also a few mods in there I believe are defunct due to changes in 1.6, but I don't know enough to say which ones.

[uneven ridge]

Usually they get put in the same folder(mod folder) just replaced with the newer ones usually it always worked but once the new update hit they just never worked

[jagged marsh]

Just to double check, you're opening the zip files and pulling the actual folders out to the mods folder, yes?

What directory are you putting the new versions in? (Some mod loaders do naughty things and I just want to double check)

[uneven ridge]

Yeah i usually open the zip and do that

I’ve always done that when having mods

[languid raft]

I downloaded it on nexus

[jagged marsh]

What directory are the mods ending up in? If you're still getting out of date alerts, I'd try moving the old folders out of the mods directory and replacing with the newly downloaded ones rather then copy/paste.

[orchid locust]

is anything ponds likely to be updated?

[modest grail]

I just downloaded the new version of SVE to check, and indeed, the Nexus Update keys are listed as ???, which is interesting and can thus be ignored at this point

The SVE keys have been ??? for a bit apparently - I'm at least a couple of versions behind and they're all Nexus:???

[uneven ridge]

I’m not sure- uh we go to the smapi (stardew) folder and then it says mods and stuff and usually insert the mods there and then it asks to replace the old mods with new ones and we agree to it

[modest grail]

well, the map issue you showed originally was from Modest Maps Forest Farm apparently

[jagged marsh]

If you're on windows, there should be a bar on the top of the folder with your current folder directory - When you're looking at your mods, can you copy that path? Example, if you need it.

Yeah, I'm guessing it's because of how SVE has multiple split components, but it's still a bit odd to see, especially when it throws a SMAPI warning.

[modest grail]

Okay, so you should never overwrite existing mod folders if you can help it, it's better to delete the old mod's folder and then drop the new one in.

not sure why that attached to you and not Avery, my apologies

[jagged marsh]

No worries - I suspect Avery is dumping into the wrong folder somehow, otherwise they should have stopped complaining about a lack of updates.

[modest grail]

Sometimes overwrites don't fully work, so it's possible that it's a manifest error or an incomplete replacement, if it turns out that it's not the wrong folder

Netherworld Burning Butterfly is throwing errors, but it looks like another mod is corrupting data - Try disabling Walk of Life and let's see what happens

[sudden rover]

Hi, I'm really struggling to get this mod to work but I really want to use it. Every time I open SMAPI to run stardew it says that it's not an SMAPI mod

XNB mods often break the game and are not recommended. See Modding:Using XNB mods for more info (and a list of Content Patcher alternatives), and you can reset your content files to fix problems caused by XNB mods.

For mod creators, see Modding:Editing XNB mods for help unpacking & editing them (including for use with Content Patcher).

To use this command, type !xnbzola.

[vapid raven]

Must be another Walk of Life bug.. Again.

[sly elm]

you're out of luck with that, cause it is not a smapi mod indeed and doesn't work with smapi

[jagged marsh]

I can't say for sure since 90% of the errors are the same state corrupted error, but it looks like Walk of Life explodes in a prefix-patch, which may be generating all of the errors

[vapid raven]

I'll test out.

[sudden rover]

In the posts section of the mod, it says you can use Content Patcher. It was posted in April, but not sure if that was before or after the major update? I just don't know how to do any of that and figured I would ask

[sly elm]

in the posts it says you have to convert to use it! (basically make a content patcher mod out of it)

[vapid raven]

Unzip this mod in your downloads folder

Select the XNB mod you want to convert with the files icon - in this situation it's Kal's portrait mod.

Navigate and upload to the
Character and Portraits
folder of the XNB mod. (It must be ordered as if it would go in Content)
If your browser prompts you to upload the folder, choose "Upload".
Fill in the manifest fields. (Make sure to credit the original author!) - For the Name of the mod title it 'Kal's Marriage Candidates Portraits Remake', the Author 'kal and gyuhola', and whatever version number you would like to call it.

Click "Done" and wait for the conversion to finish.
Once it finishes, click "Download" to download the converted mod and before unzipping create a folder titled '[CP] Kal's Marriage Candidates Portraits Remake' and unzip the file inside of the folder and then delete the unzipped file. Then place it in your mods folder and you're ready to play!

Blarg, XNB mods

Hm, actually

iirc Pillow's xnb2CP converter isnt working at the moment, no?

Or it uses an old format.

actally, it might have been updated recently

[sly elm]

uhhh it says it's okay on my list

[neat plaza]

it works

I just had to update xnbjs

[vapid raven]

Yep, just saw the Github

[jagged marsh]

No rush, but if you do figure it out, let me know? I'm curious.

[vapid raven]

Thanks for everything ya do, Pillow!

Yep yep! trying it now

[neat plaza]

lybell-art deserves so much more credit than they have

[sudden rover]

I'm new to this, can someone walk me through it please? I don't understand the XNB stuff 🫠

[vapid raven]

https://xnb.pillow.rocks Use this epic site

[sly elm]

[vapid raven]

[uneven ridge]

It was the wrong folder my bad🤦‍♀️ it works now I put them in the Sims 4 folder mods instead of my stardew valley no wonder sims wouldn’t work ethier

Thank you for help though :D.

[jagged marsh]

No worries, I'm glad it's working now.

[vapid raven]

Seems to work just fine for my end now.

Unsure WHAT was cauing the menu to just.. Not wanna come up.

[jagged marsh]

Yeah, it looks like Walk of Life explodes while prefixing their crab pot code, which is corrupting game state.

[vapid raven]

Nor do I know what UI it was getting confused with cause I'm only using one/

[jagged marsh]

It's likely a side effect of the game's collections state being corrupted by WoL. There's a ton of game-internal errors in the SMAPI log you gave me.

[vapid raven]

Yeah, idk what a strong majority are about, and I think I need to get rid of Netherworld Burning Butterfly, it's been doing that since I downloaded it and IDK what the bug even IS

[sudden rover]

Thank you guys so much! I got it working!! ^^

[vapid raven]

Yippie!

[jagged marsh]

90% of the errors were the game screaming about the state being corrupted. As far as Nether Butterfly, it looks like it's got a missing/misnamed file, and some json that's calling stuff in a way it shouldn't be. Edit: Bunch of missing asset stuff so there's something wrong with the files.

[sudden locust]

any idea why this is happening? saying that i have duplicates when i dont

[sly elm]

well you obviously do

but they're in other folders

[jagged marsh]

If I had to guess, you were one folder too deep on an update cycle, and dumped everything in a mod's folder

[sudden locust]

i dont? they were working literally today

[vapid raven]

Found it, a bed from Nether Butterfly had a mess up spelling for the bed.

[sly elm]

open the lookup anything folder please

[vapid raven]

It might be easier to take them out those folders

[sly elm]

you seem to have pulled a copy of some mods into the lookup anything folder

and yeah I also recommend taking the mod folders out of the numbered folders

[vapid raven]

So it looks like this! (example)

Or a better example
Inside the numbered folder thing is the OG folder, you'll wanna move it to the mods folder instead

Just so it makes everything a bit easier for ya

And check if theres any doubled folders within it

Ya also might wanna update ya mods

[sudden locust]

okay got them out of folders

does big fridge require bettercrafting even though on nexus it isnt?

[sudden locust]

idk why its saying theyre not compatible, the mods are the latest releases

[vapid raven]

Not compatiable? And your game is up to date with 1.6 and SMAPI version is on 4.0.8?

[sudden locust]

yup

i only started stardew/modding a week or two ago

[vapid raven]

That is.. Concerning. Can ya post a log? !log

oops hold on

[native dragon]

Log found, uploaded to: https://smapi.io/log/3156fa2524154963aeaa9ff288bbe018

[vapid raven]

Ah, I see some of these. One sec.

[sly elm]

the big fridge thing is only when you want it to be compatible with better crafting, I think

[vapid raven]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11115

[sly elm]

so you could just throw that part of the mod out

json assets you can just throw out, you don't have any content packs that use it

[sudden locust]

i just figured id get all the base stardew stuff so any mod would work

[vapid raven]

You CAN still use JA, but you'll need the specific version here.

Same for EPU.

I use JA for like three mods lol

[sly elm]

ah that is not necessary and also won't work :D

[vapid raven]

Depending on the age of the mod, they might still need it. Just make sure you get the correct one for 1.6

[sly elm]

a ton of mods need only content patcher to work now, and the ones who don't need specific frameworks of which most are different from 1.5.6
