I tried watching tutorials from yt but it's still not working.... 😭
All of it is the latest versions so I couldn't I don't understand why it's still not working...

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.
is there any way of fixing this? https://smapi.io/log/6993097fcc33498cb3498646e264b021

(the fact that the hat changes the hair)
ty!
do i put mods in the console commands folder thats in the mods folder?
no?
you put mods directly into the mods folder, console commands is a mod that comes with smapi
take a screenshot of your mods folder and send it here
you dont have content patcher downloaded
i do i just renamed it

can i see your log then?
the error log is empty
does smapi open when you run the game?
okay what
walk me through exactly what it is you did and what version of smapi you have
at least it works now
i just redownloaded smapi and apperrantly thats what i had to do
For what it's worth, I'd highly recommend against this - keeping the folder names intact is helpful for fixing issues and knowing which folder to replace when you download updates.
Does anyone know how to add custom portraits while using 'The Farmer's Children' mod? My mod is working fine, but the custom portrait I made isn't showing up.
PLEASE HELP!! I finally found a Harvey mod that I love, but there's an issue! Please, how can I make this work for the harvey in 1.6 https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/21714
it says it requires pytk,,,
in theory you should be able to just put the pngs into portraiture i dont think youll need pytk or anything
just trash everything else it comes with and take the pngs
okay, i'll try that!
it didn't show up 😭 I even tried capitalizing the H for each and it still didn't work
they need to go into a folder, no loose files in Portraits
the text file even says so, "folders go here"
ahhgckkk ty, did ot understand that's what the title intended
Does anyone know how to add custom portraits while using 'The Farmer's Children' mod? My mod is working fine, but the custom portrait I made isn't showing up.
thank you, i believe it worked! it came up, fr so relieved n happy
You could either make it replace the pre-existing files in the mod OR create a content patcher mod - I recommend looking at preexisting mods to figure out how to code works. If you need help with coding then you're more likely to get help from #making-mods-general
No the problem is that the Farmer's children mod on the Nexus page says that portraits can be added, but it isn't clear anywhere how to add the portraits to the mod. I was wondering if anyone else is using that mod and could help.
I'm sorry but can any of you help me fix my log? I'm just so confused. Thank you in advance.

i need help with the mobilephone mod

Okay hopefully this is the last update on the connection issue: steam sucks and we just connected via a VLAN and now she can connect no issues

how do you use the SMAPI console to increase the friendship level with a villager?
using friendship Abigail 1000 does not work
You need to add "debug" in front of the command.
debug friendship Abigail 1000
[SMAPI] Unknown command 'debug'; type 'help' for a list of available commands.
It's the correct syntax and works fine on my end. Make sure you don't have part of another command in there, I guess. Just... try again?
do you have console commands installed?
I dont think so
how do you do that?
that's a mod that gets installed when you install smapi
check if one of the folders in Mods is called ConsoleCommands
I deleted it swappin my mods out 😭 ☠️
thank you 🙏🏻
np! yeah without it no debug commands can run iirc
Good thinking, Bea. I didn't even consider the possibility of deleting it. 
As soon as I saw SMAPI not registering debug I figured it was that. A common issue really 
Hello, would using Better Honey Meads together with the Flower Meads mod break something or is that unnecessary?
Hello. They Deserve It Too is automatically disabled for any portrait that SVE adds, and you can manually disable/enable each portrait through the Config Menu for better compatibility with any other mods.
In any case, Portraiture doesn't work with Suki because Portraiture can only target active NPCs, while Suki's portrait is only used for her shop.
If you want to use HD portraits for shop-only portraits, you'd need to use Scale Up 2 framework instead of Portraiture.
It seems my game is lagging every few real-world minutes, that is, it freezes for a second while my cursor becomes the pinwheel of death. I’m wondering if it may be my high number of mods or an optimization issue; are there any mods like SpriteMaster that work for 1.6 and could potentially help performance? I’m on a Mac, if that helps
it helps to show smapi log it could be something is spaming it with errors causing you to lag
Thanks! I didn’t see any spam on any of my logs but I’ll check again and upload it
also from my experiance if you are using high portraits like 512x512 they can cause this to happen, as well as any uncompressed music .wav
I have a ton of appearance mods (like CP and AT) too, maybe I’ll try disabling or removing some
I’m on Stardrop, so I don’t know if disabling (as opposed to removing) would help

You have a lot of broken mods but Mobile Phone is not one of them. What's the problem you're wanting help with? If it's to get Ridgeside Village Mobile Phone Events 1.1.2, Ridgeside Village Mobile Phone Greetings 1.1.2, or Invite Shane Dinner Date 1.0.2 to work, you will need to edit their manifest.jsons because they are currently looking for the mod called "aedenthorn.MobilePhone" but Mobile Phone Continued is called "JoXW.MobilePhone".

if i have mods installed and then i decide to delete them, is it going to mess with my game?
Well according to this you have no mods installed
but i put it in the mod files
did you unzip it
you need to
Depends on the mod. Most mods are fine, but mods that add recipes can leave lingering data that can mess with perfection if you learned but never crafted them and mods that edit maps may require a run of ResetTerrainFeatures
if the mod changes my friendship levels or like my farming levels and i delete it will they get messed up?
Again, depends on the mod
i'm wanting to use this one but i don't want it to break my game if i delete it: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4?tab=description
do you mean the cheats menu?
Oh cjb is fine
deleting that won't do anything
okay cool thank you!
But you should keep it in it's great for troubleshooting
oh okay!! thank you sm!
You've got a lovely little looping error there. I can't spot an obvious cause, does it happen every time you enter the map?
uh

reinstalled smapi no debug commands
Things like this happen randomly. I'm playing a local co-op save and sometimes someone (usually the first player) will enter a screen and it will be black and then the game will crash.
what command did you try to run?
Not usually the same screen
Oh, if it's co op we need logs from all players to properly troubleshoot
just help. theres no listed command for debug

Is the ConsoleCommands folder completely missing from your mods folder?
oh wait
i have a seperate mods folder for my ide env
i gotta probably manually add it
Hmm, I'm not as familiar with troubleshooting local co-op. It looks like the game is struggling to call on a specific asset, but if it doesn't happen every time it's difficult to narrow down a potential cause
Yep, that's it
Makes sense
Nope. It's technically a mod
I also failed to copy the folder over when I set up my testing mods folder and spent a while wondering what was going wrong, so you are not alone ^_^
console needs mods fr
Not the channel for this my guy. #modded-stardew for general mod discussion

there arent any mods afaik that make it so you cant complete the community center
Log Info: SMAPI 4.0.8 with SDV 1.6.8 build 24119 on Microsoft Windows 11 Home, with 6 C# mods and 0 content packs.
so the mods can't affect me not getting the achievement and progress from completing thecc?
Are you certain you completed the community center?
nope, the mods you have especially dont even touch cc
None of your mods should be interfering with the cc, so I'm wondering if you missed a bundle or something
yes the junimos left and everything
@inland whale You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels and share images in all channels!
And you've seen the cc cutscene with the whole town?
Usually the day after you complete the cc, but I think it may not play if it's raining
okay let me go look if it was raining
And you need to actually walk into town to see it
Up to you, but there's no time limit on the event. You'll see it as soon as it's available
ok i think i'll just skip it so i can make sure everything is ok 😭
You don't have to. It is OK, the event just needs a sunny day to trigger
OMG i got the cutscene 😭 thank you for your help lol
Told you
lol i was freaking out i thought i ruined my game forever 😭
i was so worried about installing mods in the first place and i thought they had done this lol
You need to let yourself be less scared of mods. You have like 5. I've got more than 250 and haven't broken my game yet
the community center is a core part of the game, it is very very very hard for modders to break it DSKDJKS the only mods i know of that mess with the cc just remix bundles or add to what you have to do to complete it
well that's good that it's hard to break hahah
Point is, you can relax. The mods are your friends, they're not out to hurt you
Except for xnb mods those are not your friends
!xnbzola
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).
Mods that directly replace the games files instead of being dropped in the mods folder
oh interesting
is it a different website to download from or
if i'm downloading one will it say its xnb
Theyre usually labeled as xnbs. If you drop an xnb mod in your mods folder smapi will spit a warning that it can't load it bc its not a smapi mod
They're mostly used by non-English speaking modders, especially those on Naver, so they're pretty easy to avoid
hi can someone help me fix or figure this out? im trying to play co op with my friend but he keeps crashing whenever he joins me and when i try vice versa this shows up on my smapi logs

ohhh
i didnt know omg 
ill go let my friend know tysm
ill update my mods too

Make sure you and your friend have matching mod lists. It's not just spacecore, any mismatched mods can potentially cause crashes

Try resetting your game files and seeing if that works
Alright
hello! i have not been on stardew in about 2 years, all of my mods are from 2021-2023 will these mods still work in real time or do i have to go back and download a newer version of all of them?
It worked perfectly, thank you!!
A vast majority of mods were broken or made obsolete in 1.6. I'd recommend just starting fresh with a brand new mod list
But yes basically everything will need updating
so much workk thank you anyways!
I believe in you
anyone knows what's the mod that changes the loot earthworms for a four-leaf clover?

hello sorry whats the difference from mod manager download and manual download, i completely forgot
mod manager download is via a mod manager
Manual downloads it directly to your downloads folder
If you don't know what a mod manager is, just click manual
i tried going to the website to download a new smapi but it still didnt work im sorry im still kind of new to mods
You need to update smapi
how?
Download it and run the installer same way you installed this version
how do you run the installer all i pressed was download

hi so im new to modding andd im using xbox
im stuck on these two steps and idk what to do
I can't find the stardew modding api thing where is that
is it just the folders that it added into the content folder named mods and smapi internal?

Your Mods folder should be in your game folder after you install SMAPI. See here for more information on finding it: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Find_your_game_folder
If you use Steam, you can also right click on the game name > Manage > Browse Local Files.

Can someone please help me fix this json file?
are you making a mod?
Kind of, it's very basic, just wanted to change the sell price of coffee
Oops my bad, sorry
has anyone seen this behavior before? all my dogs get double speech bubbles, is this supposed to happen?
Impossible to tell without knowing your mod list, but I'd say you have two different mods adding an indicator and they're layering
is there a nice way to format a mod list or just anything goes
not sure if this is helpful, but here is a screenshot of my mods folder, also, prior to 1.6, i had adopt n skin and had to remove it

Hi everyone, does anyone use the polyamory sweet mod? I have a question about the spouse patios.
what mods are generally the most bad for load times?
or is there a method to diagnosing it?
(that doesnt involve individually turning off each mod)
Hi! So I need some help, I was trying to play with my brother on our save and for some reason it won't load anything, it lets me in but I get a black screen, I hear everything going on and I can even get into bed and the text box would pop up to sleep but I have no visual of the game itself. So when I was going to close the game I saw on the Smapi load up screen all these red notifications just constantly going and I tried to fix it but any time I would try joining a save it would automatically go black and spam the red notifs. Then when my brother tried fixing everything he couldn't find my crash log like he'd follow the steps of trying to find it and no matter what he couldn't find it.
!howtoask
When asking for help with modding issues, please:
- Ask in #archived-modded-support
- Try to explain what the issue or problem is. Please be specific!
- If it's SMAPI installation related, please state whether you're using Windows/Mac/Linux and Steam/GOG/Gamepass.
- Provide a log if you have one (see https://smapi.io/log for instructions). Please provide a log even if there's no errors or warnings! If you are playing multiplayer, we will need a log from every player.
- Please remember no one's getting paid to answer your questions! It may take some time for someone to answer! If no one has answered in a few hours, feel free to ask again
(also) is there any reason a mod would be editing content every time a scene changes.

So a good chunk of your mods, including smapi itself, are severely out if date. None of them appear to directly affect animal notifications, but just in case I'd get everything updated and see if that helps
ok, will try, thank you
Depends on your computer, but generally bigger mods cause more lag
bigger mods (sve, ridgeside, anything that adds a lot of content or machinery), automate depending on how you use it, anything out of date, it really does depend
Like, I have 250 mods including all the ones Yuki listed, and the most I get is the occasional stutter, but I have a beefy gaming laptop
hmm i would hope my computer could handle it :/
i got 32gbs of ram and a decent cpu
I've seen people struggle with just a handful of mods
I had absolutely no way of knowing this when I answered I just went general
!profiler
Profiler https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/12135 is a mod that can help you narrow down what's causing lag
oh i wasnt like assuming u did i was just like sayin its weird how long my load times are with my pc
thank u
sorry if my original comment sounded rude i wasnt thinkin abt it
As for this, if the mod makes multiple map or schedule edits like sve, those will be running every time you enter an edited map
it just seems inefficient, but i dont know if they have particular reasons for how they load stuff so idk
Nah it's cool, sorry if I came across as offended I've got the autisms and can be a bit blunt sometimes
me too you're good 
Again, this depends on the mod you're talking about
But sdv is a pretty simple game under the hood, and there aren't a lot of ways to make it do things other than the one tried and true tested method that all other mod authors do it, usually a method created by pathoschild
So if it's doing things a certain way, it may be bc that's the only way to do it
yea i figured as much, oh well. Ty for ur help :)
#modded-stardew question
Should i also send the log of my other friend who is in the save as well??
Yes. Logs of everyone in the game are needed to troubleshoot multiplayer
Okay im having a hard time getting my log. Its not giving me the link after i find the log and put the file in
any way to see specific content pack loading times?
In your log if you click on trace
Yeah your trace should show that
It shows whenever you change maps
And it shows what mods load content on a map change
Are you hitting the big green 'save and parse' button?
Yeah and i think the website is crashing anytime i do it idk

i dont think your portraits are the issue 😭
im seeing too much red 
You need to do a spring cleaning of your mods folder
Jfc you still have getdressed???? That was deprecated years ago
😭 its been a while
Ok go get rid of any mod your log says is incompatible and try again
yes maam
Okay ill try that but what if it doesnt work after we have all the same mods?
Then we can at least rule that out, but based on your error I do think that's the issue
Okay we will try that!!
Remember to make sure your mod settings match as well, especially with Elle's
Her mods use the new skins system and that needs to match in a multiplayer save
i removed them but it still puts me back into the menu anytime i try to join a world

its reset and not validate oop
anyway validate your game files
a lot of your mods were ancient and theres a large chance you had some mods that affected the way vanilla files worked so its a good idea to reset those files just in case

good news i can load into the world now, bad news is the portraits still dont work 🥲
what does your portraiture folder look like?
it should go portraiture/portraits/dcburger, and all the pngs should be in the dcburger folder
oh i did it wrong 😭 i put it in the content portraits file
OH
youre using the content patcher version of dcburgers portraits
delete that
it uses pytk which is deprecated
so i just put the regular dcburger in portraits?
if youre using portraiture, you want to download the second one
ohh
once youve downloaded that, you want to click into the zip folder instead of extracting it, because if you extract it as is itll be a folder too deep and it wont work
and also there was one called lilis portraits is this not compatible with stardew overall?
click into dcburgers portraits, there will be a portraits folder, click into that and copy the dcburger folder, paste the dcburger folder into the portraiture portraits folder you already have in your mods
that is an xnb mod and should not be used
!xnbzola
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).
I just downloaded SMAPI and put it in content file. Is there anbything else I need to do before I mod Stardew?
please dont edit your content folder
I didn't know that, Where should I put it?
You run the SMAPI installer from a place outside of the Stardew Valley folder (usually people run it straight from the downloads folder or desktop)
so i just download SMAPI but leave it on desktop?
Download SMAPI, open the zip and extract somewhere (Downloads/Desktop)
Run the SMAPI installer, it'll move the correct files into Stardew
Edit: Didn't realize this conversation had been hanging for 13 minutes, hopefully the answer is still useful
I never saw the extract option but i will double check tmrw
It's standard with zip files - If you're on windows, Windows treats the zip as just another folder, but adds an extract tab at the top.
Could someone help me understand why my config selections for Gwen's Medieval Buildings are no longer appearing in game? The mod is working, it just is not respecting the changes I made in the config file.

Your content patcher is out of date, that could have something to do with it
Also, are you making these config changes in the file itself or the gmcm? If it's the latter, are you making those changes in game or on the main menu?
so that means they have to have all the mods i have?
i thought it would be okay since some ppl on steam discussion said it would be fine especially the ones that only affect client side 
yes. everyone needs to have the same mods, basically.
things like uh... recolors? Like UI recolors don't need to be the same.
Yes I'm making the changes in the config file. It was working earlier today and then I installed the Gwen's Doghouse Mod and now it just won't load my preferencees.
those people were wrong

!UiInfoSuite2 is causing the billboard to be accessible from your inventory. I think it's configurable but I've never tried.
If you go to https://github.com/Annosz/UIInfoSuite2/releases, you can find UI Info Suite 2, which works with Stardew 1.5.5+. Download the first zip, not the source code.
thank you!
(Is that the non-binary flag in your pfp :O [also i love your pfp])
How do I update smapi?
SMAPI should automatically try to update if you have internet when you launch it (At least on Windows)
It didn't automatically update I am still on version 3.18.4
Just download the 4.0.8 version here https://smapi.io/
I did that
unzip the installer, and click on the installer version for your OS (e.g. windows, mac, linux)
Okey
what do they mean with number 2?
When you download a mod from Nexus, you'll get it as a zipfile that's usually ModName_IDInfo
Open that, then extract the folder inside and put it in your mods folder
SMAPI can't read ZIP files, so you need to pull the mods out of them after you download the mod
okay and do i need to download smapi from nexus, curseforge or github
https://smapi.io/ is the easiest
Download it, extract the zip, then run the installer
Ah - right - didn't realize that was a dropdown - Any of them work, Nexus or Curseforge is probably easier UI wise
okay
Since most mods are on Nexus and you'll need a Nexus account anyways, I'd go with that
Yep - Some folks run 300+ mods (Many of which add events, furniture, or other decorations)
I cant even find the stardew valley download in my folder lol
Which part are you having trouble with?
this
Assuming you have Stardew installed through steam, it'll be wherever you had steam download it - The path given there is the default if the user doesn't change things
im still confused
Where did you install Stardew from? Steam? (Also, is this for a windows computer, or some other setup?)
yes steam and i got windows
In which case, you should be able to find Stardew in the folder indicated by the filepath - Go to This PC on the left (In file explorer) if you want to follow the folders to find it
Yup - go to the next folder in the path [Program Files (x86) ]
Then just keep following the path - The filepath is just an order of nested folders to navigate
which path
The list of folders given in the filepath on the wiki
but i cant find those folders
There's no steamapps folder? Should be there if you installed Stardew - try scrolling down
Yep - I'll be on for a little more if you run into trouble, but it's almost 3 AM here so I should sleep soon
hi!! i was wondering if anyone knows how to deal with this? i've deleted and redownloaded multiple different recolours, as well as the cabin recolour not appearing and i'm not sure why
Are you using a 1.5 recolor? 1.6 added some new edge / boundary tiles and 1.5 recolors won't have them in stock
If you check the Nexus page for your recolors, there may be a fixed or forked version that includes the new tiles
Look at the posts tab or search the mod name and see if someone's tweaked it for 1.6
Help. I'm confused
That's the legacy version of Stardew Valley Expanded for 1.5 - If you're on 1.6, delete your Stardew Valley Expanded folder and redownload the mod from Nexus (Current is 1.14.46)
But without seeing your log, I'm only assuming which version of Stardew you're on.
It's 1.5.6.39
and android, specifically
yes Android
That's what I get for not asking for a log first.
(And for not recognizing the Android UI for the SMAPI console)
No its my fault being a totally noob on this things😅
Let's see if I can remember the command - Edit: Nope, I don't.
Um... so, What's the problem? Do I have to download a new version?
!androidsmapi
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.
Unfortunately, troubleshooting anything related to your version is way out of my wheelhouse, especially at 4 AM - Hopefully someone else might be able to help
It's okay. I'm already thankful that you even tried helping though. ☺️
One last question before I go to sleep - did it work before or did you just try to add it? Apparently as of October 2023 there was a specific android patch only available on the SVE discord, and even then it's iffy on if it behaves on Android
Suppose I should ping @weak reef in case they've stepped away and chat moves on.
There's a 1.6 VPR patch on nexus, I'd look it up.
It's my first time adding it🥺
Wait...this discord is not for SVE?
Was there's a different discord?
In which case, you'll need to find the SVE discord and see if the patch is still there - but SVE is a fairly heavyweight mod and it breaks on a lot of phones due to its needs
This is the standard Stardew Valley discord / general modding discord
Thanks! ♥️
Hi 🙂 I tried adding mods to my stardew for the first time but it's not really working. There are no errors in my SMAPI log or anything. It says it loaded them in etc but the game is completely unmodded. Pls help

And what happens when you launch the game via smapi?
It's just the normal unmodded game
what do you mean with "the game is completely unmodded?"
none of the mods you have installed are immediately visible when opening the game
For example when I speak to Alex it's just the normal sprite thingy, not the new one I installed.
okay that is one mod not working. could you press P?
when I'm in game?
yes!
oki one second
that's the hotkey for cjb cheats menu
yeah exactly
tractor mod can be checked by going to Robin and seeing if the building is available
as for alex portrait, report to the mod author
wait it wasn't...updated in a while
well that's good then, mods overall do work! I assume the Alex portrait you're using is just old and not updated for current code
I recommend you get generic mod config menu as well, that adds an in game menu to change your mod settings, very convenient
yes
thank you so much
pokky
they have gmcm
honestly the code is so simple i'm confused as to why it wouldn't work... what season is it in game
HAHA
winter
wow
right uhm, spoiler time
disregard, Bea saw you already have it, my eyes don't work yet xD
1.6 ||added special winter portaits, so older mods loading portraits don't patch those, as they didn't exist||
there's a mod you can get that'll disable those, if you want
ohh wow ok thank you
you can also like, patch the code yourself but this one is simpler
you guys thank you so much for your help, sorry again for taking up your time
you did exactly what this channel is for and we're here voluntarily 😎

We don't condone piracy here. Nor do we share any files
Don't ever ask how to pirate any game

Can anyone help me understand what's going on with my town map? Randomly glitched out mid playthrough a few days ago when entering the town map from the beach, figured it would sort itself out after closing and restarting the game but no dice.
I'm assuming it's Way Back Pelican Town or Earthy Recolour, SMAPI doesnt show anything except the known tilesheet issue for WBPT but removing the sections from content.json that Gwen specifies (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7332?tab=posts&BH=0) doesn't fix the issue.

Hi, I have stardew valley downloaded through steam and I tried installing SMAPI 4.0.8. And apparently it always encounters an error: “Oops, SMAPI installer seems to have failed”
I would appreciate any help I can get
I’m on windows and the game is downloaded through steam
Please @ me when you reply, thank you
How are you installing, are you trying to add smapi directly to steam or are you dropping smapi into the game folder and installing from there?
I followed the instructions on the wiki, downloaded from NEXUS, unzipped into the downloads folder itself and ran the window’s installer
AFAIK it needs to be in the game's root folder
D:\steam install\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley this is mine
Just to cover all bases, have you run the game on its own before?
and do you have any folder restrictions/firewalls etc
I’m currently running it on its own
Not that I’m aware of
Does it give any errors in the command dialogue other than oops the installer failed, like couldn't find the path or anything like that
Simply into stardew valley? And the folder that says ‘SMAPI 4.0.8 installer’? Because the instructions say to rename some file within the first unzipped folder to ‘.zip’ and transfer that to the native files of the game
Yes, let me take a screenshot
I can't say i've ever had to do that.. which instructions are you following?
I read through the installer’s instructions as well, I didn’t do the aforementioned though
So you've tried the manual install as well as the bat file?
Yes
I’ve never encountered any issues like this before, I have installed SMAPI before as well, never gave me such an issue or error
It’s just not installing at all and I don’t know why
Weird. ave you verified your game files?
I could try that as well
Give it a try incase something has gone funky somewhere
Done
It’s all good
From the first screenshot, it seems like an access problem. Are you the admin on your device?
Yes
I ran it as administrator as well and it’s just showing the same thing
ok if you go to your stardew folder in the path i sent earlier but stay in the common folder
yes?
if you right click on the stardew valley folder and go to properties then to the security tab
check if you have permissions to modify/edit
Alright one sec
Otherwise my only other suggestion would be to do a fresh install of stardew but obviously that's less than ideal
Alright, I changed the setting to allow modify and edit
Shall I try again?
It’s showing the error again
I’ve already done that
Yes, make sure you are running as admin by right clicking run as admin and make sure it's definitely the unzipped file and not the one in the zip file
Yes I did it with the admin as well as normal
Both don’t work
does anyone think they could help me set up steam link? I'm trying to use steam link to play Stardew from my phone, but steam keeps trying to show my both the smapi console window and the game window. weirdly, it's not showing the stardrop window, which should also be starting
does anyone know how to make it so only the game window is shown?
I'm using Windows 10, Android 12, a 4K monitor, and stardew 1.6
I'm all out of ideas I'm afraid, last suggestion would be to download a new copy of smapi, make sure the folder is unzipped properly and then try running the bat file from the unzipped file
If all else fails, try reddit or the github page. And try to include proper screenshots if you can, the crooked phone photos make it very awkward
I did everything 
I tried, many people are facing issues launching the SMAPI or installing it altogether
Would anyone be able to help me download and set up a mod manager, most likely stardrop unless if u recommend something else! I'm struggling even with a video 😣
!stardrop
Stardrop is a mod manager written specifically for Stardew Valley. See the Stardrop wiki for installation and usage.
If you have issues with Stardrop, see the issue report guide.
Do you still need help?
hiii does anyone know how to fix these splotchy parts? I’m using the vibrant pastel recolors
!recolor
1.6 added new tiles which will take some time for recolor mods to catch up on. recolors will mostly work but there will be some vanilla-looking tiles. please be patient as you wait for mod authors to update their mods
so i've been having this issue recently with patches of my farm suddenly being unable to be used (like i can't even swing my tools in this area) and i've not been able to figure out the cause of it, smapi doesn't show anything in particular so i'll link my log if someone who knows what they're doing could possibly take a look at it

Smapi shows A LOT, idk what you're talking about here

Hey yall, I've got an issue with Gwen's medieval craftables. The flamingo and seasonal decor won't change, it's just vanilla. I've checked the configs to make sure the Decorations not replaced is unchecked. I attached a picture to show what I mean. I can add the SMAPI log too if needed.
You'll want to remove the mods that aren't compatible just for the sake of keeping it happy (And because it causes weirdness sometimes) - I can't say for sure what's causing your particular wall issue, but I'd start by trying to disable mods that affect the interior of your house (like Rustic Country Walls and Floors). A quick way to disable a mod is to put a . at the start of the folder name (IE: .ThisModIsDisabled)
It looks like you only have the base SMAPI mods installed - Whatever mod you tried to install didn't. Can you show me your mods folder?
omg thank you!!! the issue was with earthy interiors it seems!
yup
Glad you figured it out - Not sure whether there's a version that fixes it or if it's a compatibility issue with another mod since I don't tinker with those myself, but at least you've got it sorted.
guys where are the fences, I downloaded a mod but cannot find them in thegame altho I'm not sure where to look at
Which mod?
seasonal fences
Are you running Stardew Valley Expanded?
here is my mods folder
No worries if you don't have it, it just requires a change
great! do u know what i should do ?
Hmm - don't know Mac's finder well enough to say for sure - can you take a screenshot inside the mods folder with less cropped out? I suspect you have it installed in the wrong spot since SaveBackup and ConsoleCommand should be in the directory
I think, but I'm not sure, that it should just replace the vanilla fences - If you craft a standard vanilla fence and place it, is it using the old texture or the new one?
It's just some wood or hardwood in the crafting - But I just checked - It's apparently broken in 1.6
Someone has posted a fixed version if you look at the Posts tab
tks I'll look into it
I highly suspect it's the wrong directory - If you're running Stardew through steam, are you in ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS
Yeah - Once it's in the right folder, it should load in SMAPI
You'll see SaveBackup and ConsoleCommands in the mods folder
Hello! I'm having an issue with Gwen's Medieval Craftables. The lawn flamingo and seasonal decor are staying vanilla. I've checked the configurations to make sure they weren't checked to not be replaced. I'm not sure what could be affecting it.
Not sure if this is the place for this - but Market Town isn't allowing me to sell things from shelves, I'm only getting special orders. Does anyone know what setting I could have wrong or something?

haivng a weird issue with my smapi, the game loads but it doesn't load with any mods, I have updated majority of all the mods, updated smapi, and tried unintalling/reinstalling and restarting my computer. the game launches without mods
for some reason i can't find the smapi log either
but i did install smapi!
did you run it, ever?
Somehow you have the game as version 1.5.6
If you got it from steam, make sure you're not on the legacy 1.5.6 branch
ohh that might have been it
lemme update the game and see if my problem goes away
ty
hmm game loads without the mods
let me reinstall smapi
reinstalling smapi shows the game without mods, so lemme run the stardew api instead
if not i'll try deleting the start up preferences maybe
oh finally the api box is showing
i can finally see the pufferfish chicken
the mods are loading, i can finally see which mods to update now, yesterday was removing mods that weren't compatible
ty!
hiii I’ve installed Gigi’s portrait mod ^_^ everything seems to be working fine except for Morris’s portrait for some reason despite it being placed with every other portrait. Can anyone help?
hello, I have both Flower Meads and BetterHoneyMead mods installed. However, looks like the flower meads that I have in my inventory are still all the same color. I tried removing the Flower Meads mod but it threw a lot of errors in the SMAPI console when I looked at the meads again. Does Better Honey Mead break in conjunction with Flower Meads?
hmm how strange
mods are loading but now the game is only a white screen
i'll look into this
do you have sve
morris's name is MorrisTod in sve, copy paste his portrait and rename the extra one
I’ll do that and let you know how it goes!
do I do this for magnus too btw?

magnus should still be named Wizard, morris is MorrisTod, marlon is MarlonFay
i believe gunther also has a last name but i dont remember it off the top of my head
ok! do I replace their portraits too in the SVE?
that is probably a good idea yes
just copy paste and rename the new ones dont replace them
alright! :)) also which folder would it be? there’s two that say cp and ftm and just stardew valley expanded
okay wait dont replace anything in the sve folder
just copy and paste your portraits
AH WAIT I misunderstood !!
FHSJFKSK

no thats fine!!! im busy so im not explaining things well
hii question!! i have a custom map installed and i rly wanna change the color of the grass on my farm without changing the rest of the world. theres no tilesheet in the mod tho for grass so how should i go about this ? :c
If the grass is using the standard ingame tilesheets, any mod that reskins the grass should affect it
i'm currently using daisyniko's earthy recolour and im worried abt the grass outside my farm being changed as well idk if that makes sense :c
It does, and I'm not sure if there's any solution for that
okay ty :c
Hello. How do I open the SMAPI console on Linux? I use Flatpak Steam on Fedora.

What was that supposed to do? Sorry if I'm being rude.
it is showing download from nexus, download from curseforge and download from github
open the link. follow the link.
choose one you like
Odd, I don't see a link. Could Discord settings affect its visibility?
did you disable attachment previews
Apparently, I did. I see it now.
i chose nexus and it took me back to download SMAPI
that's your goal, yes?
idk I assume when I downloaded Smapi, I also downloaded Smapi installer
I already have SMAPI installed, and a modded Stardew installation. I just want to have the SMAPI console window open so that I can input commands.
I found a mod that spawns items. So consider this issue closed.
That's..... the same thing. The installer is in the folder you downloaded
I did not know that someone tole me to download the installer when i downloaded SMAPI
Smapi cannot run without having the console open, so if you're playing with mods you have the console open in another window
Tho cjb item spawner is the better method for spawing in items
The installer is smapi. They're one and the same. Or, rather, the installer is one part of smapi
If you've downloaded smapi, you have the installer
But you still have to run the installer to actually have smapi
tell me how to do that tmrw

The guide there should help you
But it's literally just "click on the exe named after your os and follow the instructions"
If someone is free to look at my smapi log, I would be eternally grateful. I’m getting a massive wall of red text and I’m too tech illiterate to tell what’s causing it 🫠
Here’s my log
Log Info: SMAPI 4.0.8 with SDV 1.6.8 build 24119 on macOS Unix 14.5.0, with 44 C# mods and 163 content packs.
Hi, my friend is trying to join my modded game. I have had at least 3 other people in my world so I know it’s not an issue with that, I have confirmed he has all the same mods as me and it’s in the right folder. The game crashes when he tries to join and when he tries to upload his logs to the log parser using the error logs command it is not giving him a “smapi latest” or other files that the parser will accept and so he can’t even upload a log. This is the only file he is getting and I had to take a pic
Are you seeing any behavior in game related to this error?
It's nigh on impossible to diagnose from screenshot of errors, even more difficult to do so through a third party. That also definitely isn't a smapi log, so are you sure he's running smapi?
Yes he’s running smapi that’s why we’re confused. I confirmed his ran the installer for windows
But is he launching the game through smapi? Bc if he is, he should have an available log
The fact that there isn't one makes me wonder if he's launching the vanilla exe
Oh that might actually be it I will have him run it that way
That worked!! Thank you so much
No, I didn’t even see all the errors until I exited out of them game. There was some lag but I’m playing with Ridgeside on a potato computer so that’s to be expected. But everything else was running normal
In that case, I wouldn't worry too much unless it's consistent. If it happens again come back, or if you have an error in game, but sometimes the game does have hiccups and smooths over them internally. It's fine
Okay, will do! Thank you!
@glad sinew can you show me where you installed the mods?
So I have a folder that came with the SNAPI download
Can you post a acreenshot?
that.. would probably be why
Of where the file is
It’s so complicated to even get directions because i know 0 about backend computer stuff like even this is complicated to me😂🤦🏻♀️
so, you unzipped the smapi installer, you ran the installer
I successfully installed it
it creates a mod folder... in your stardew game folder
Like followed the Wiki guide
you put mods.. there, not in the installer folder
Yeah, what’s Kyrinia said
It gave me a file location that’s what I put to get this
Was that not the right thing 🤔
the folder smapi showed is where your stardew install is
(and what you need to put in steam for it to see it)
Got it to work?
you can re run the installer to see that folder again if you need to, but it's the same as where your steam installs games, which is something you should probably learn 🙂
also of note, you can rightclick on the game in steam and do 'browse files'
will also open that folder
you should see a folder in the stardew folder named mods, yes
assuming smapi installed correctly
ah, its under manage
So all it says is contents
Yes yes
And it says contents > macOS> mods
I’m assuming that’s the correct mod folder?
Yup
Yw!
Wow
Thank you
Forreal
This is huge
So things like the !18n file repeats should I keep it every time or can I replace it?
eh?
you shouldnt have folder collisions like that, you arent supposed to be dumping the raw folders into the mod folder
Wait someone said to copy what’s in the zip
yes, what's in the zip should have an outer folder
if you're putting a folder named i8tn in the mod folder by itself, there's something wrong
What mod are you trying to install?
Okay let me download the mod again and see
The NPC map finder thing
And I should manual download?
Also I’m confused about the modding terminal
So I downloaded it but it kept running in the background how to I get it to stop doing that
the console running when you're running the game is normal.
Yeah you have to keep that open to keep modded Stardew running
I recommend not modding with the game open though.
Adding mods, that is
Okay it isn’t open
Im just redownloading the mod to make sure I add it right
So I add it to the mod folder just as it is like this
Unzip it and add the contents to the mod folder
@glad sinew You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels and share images in all channels!
So it had two files a zip and the folder
Yeah
Haha, see you got this!
basically, if at any point you end up with a .json file in your mod folder, something is wrong
Yup
either the mod wasnt packed right (which happens occasionally) or you pulled 1 folder too deep
I see okay
I think I know what your saying
So now once these are in the folder when I run the game it should be in there?
Like there is nothing else to do right?
thats normally it, yes
after running the game with a mod once most mods generate a config file you might want to change, or get the mod to change it in game
some / most mods can be configured, it creates its config file when its run the first time
Well now that i figured that out any mods you recommend?
now that is a question for that other channel-ish, though they're mostly going to point to this

So I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong channel, but I'm hoping that someone can give me some advice/pointers for how to solve my problem without just giving up my game file and starting over. I installed the Challenging Vanilla Bundles mod changing the bundles for the Community Center. All's well and good...except after I submitted one of the six items needed into the Summer Foraging bundle, it would no longer accept Sweet Peas from me. It doesn't have a problem with me submitting other things in other bundles or the same bundle, and it clearly states that I still need to submit Sweet Peas. I have enough of them as well, so that's not an issue. Is there a way for me to debug/fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

i tried to following the insurrection im still not understanding.
redownload the mod and extract it into your mod folder
you likely put the zip into your mod folder instead of extracting it
so i put Immersive in my unqie one?
can you send me a picture of your mods folder?
is there an unofficial dga update for 1.6?
click into unique children talk
i did
your fine thank you for helping me ^-^
okay so youre gonna have to redownload unique children talk
do i remove my currently unique children talk?
yes
okay i resintall it what do i do now?
does it have the manifest?
im sorry what that?
in the folder it should have an assets folder and then a little note looking thing that says manifest
yes it does
okay! do you have immersive unique?
yep !
whats in that folder? can you send me a picture?
click into that
and assets?
is assets the only thing in there?
yeah
thats fine, copy the assets file and paste it into the regular unique children talk file
itll ask you to overwrite, click yes
you dont need that whole file, just the assets folder
firstly dont paste the entire zip file into your mods folder thats how you were getting the error, the immersive unique mod doesnt have a manifest KDJSHSDJK secondly then just delete the regular unique assets file and paste the one from immersive into it
yes! let me know if you still get an error
thats the mod youre trying to use yes?
you do need to extract it
immersive unique replaces the files in unique, its not its own standalone mod, unique children talk is the one you want to work with the new files in it
i think it worked ! im not getting the error anymore :D

Hi, I can’t find the AppData folder inside my folder
It's hidden by default, type "%temp%" in the search bar to get to the Temp folder (or "%appdata%" for AppData Roaming, mb)
Alright, let me see
Alright, found it
Now I need to change the security for the Temp folder?
did you need to change anything or was it already good?
oh yippee
THAMKS
THANKS
and if I want to add mods to the game, I need to first copy the path and add that to steam, then adding the mods where do I put them?
you just need to drop the mods into the "Stardew Valley/Mods" folder
I’m sorry but where do I find that, because I unzipped the SMAPI to downloads itself instead of doing it into stardew valley
so it'll be wherever your steam common folder is - struggling to find the mod getting started command lmao
!gs maybe

hi um how do i unzip folders? i used to be able to do it but i forgot
are you on windows/mac/other?
on windows you can right click "Extract All..." to use the extraction tool that comes with the OS by default, or select whichever unarchive tool you've used in the past 7-zip/winrar/etc
in the photos the place is kinda muted, like this but in my game its still vibrant.. do i have to install a separate mod for the recolour or is something wrong? im using the old cola interface btw
damn nvm sorry
im so new to mods 
Content Patcher (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1915) is a mod which loads content packs to change the game's images and data without replacing XNB files. If you want to make mods using Content Patcher, start at https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Content_Patcher.
Hey. Everybody was new once. You're learning. You're getting it. It's okay.
thanks i needed that
You're welcome 
im getting it >:D install mod, unzip, plop the unzipped file in the mod folder right?
yep yep yep
@vital rivet I added the mods to the mod folder inside the stardew valley folder but they’re not working
are you running the game with StardewModdingAPI.exe? (as opposed to Stardew Valley.exe)
