There is a version of informant for 1.6. Its here
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/21286
i went there but it didnt have the option for animals (wer this incubator is from) its all like this and just names
That is because what you were just editing wasn't a cofig file it was the code of the mod
ohhhh
First tell me the name of the mod and what are you trying to change.
Dark Club - Unofficial 1.6 Update
i want to remove the incubator
bc it changed my incubator to a nakedpeep and its not pleasing lol
I searched nexus and can't find it.
Make sure that is the name of send the link
of the mod page
We cannot help solve issues in your game that are being directly caused by NSFW mods. Please report any issues you have with these to the author.
here my bad ><
remove that link
ohhh okie thank you and sorry
Oh, I turned off show NSFW so I didn't see it.
the spoiler in their original message said it's a nsfw mod
i had installed a few mods and they werent working so i removed all of them besides smapi so i could run it and it kept giving me error codes that it couldnt find content/bigcraftables
if you're up for it you may help in DM's but not in the channel

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.
the issue is with bigcraftables in your game files
thank you!
Hi, please do not ask for support or troubleshoot issues for mods that go against server rules in this channel
@vague gate @mossy fossil
yes im so sorry ><
Why did I get pinged?
Did I do something wrong?
please don't help issues related to NSFW mods
is there a way to see if a mod is XNB before extracting it into game files? im just having a hard time locating it
that it tells you to extract it to your game files
sorry i guess i meant into a mod file
thanks!
and that there's no manifest.json
i love you tysm
it looks like the better junimos original was updated to 1.6 today
I tried helping my friend download my mods folder and we got it up and running we think. however, as soon as we tried to have them join us in a game it broke for them and this is what smapi was saying
!log we need the logs of all players involved please

That top part is new, did something happen
?
forget it, im just flooding this channel
That screenshot is of a SMAPI with just the default 2 SMAPI-component mods installed, based on the top bar
You have a lot of mods, they have none
(also, you need to get rid of TMXL Map Toolkit iirc - I think it still causes Cindersap Forest to crash to desktop?)
if you mean sending the file here... the log file has it
smapi.io doesn't invent your computer username out of nowhere and inject it in the log.
no, we just want people to be aware of their privacy. for trying out mod commands you can also go to #governors-mansion
oh they're using here for commands
thanks
Just needed to get my log
Hey
i was trying to install Ridgeside Village Mode, but it shows this error:

hi! does anyone know how to fix the "[SMAPI] Unknown command 'debug'; type 'help' for a list of available commands."? i have it fully up to date so idk how its not going through h
reinstall smapi
hi so my sister installed a couple mods for me but I'm having trouble with smapi I have it installed but it's not appearing If I understand correctly I need to open it and run it but I can't find it anywhere to open it could someone please help me?
If you installed SMAPI but haven't changed your launch options, then the StardewModdingAPI exe should be located in the same place as your Stardew Valley exe
If you got the game through Steam that is in the local files from the steam game's properties 🙂
Is there a way to define a portrait for a single npc with portraiture? im tired of pressing p in every dialogue
See my response two posts up
Tried pressing O to fix the portrait set in place? That's listed as an option in the Portraiture mod description.
I already did that I tried just running it but no mods are there
Is anything in your Mods folder, and does the SMAPI console/terminal window pop up when you run it?
yes the console does pop up it claims that it found mods but i think something is wrong Beacuse it has a big chunk of text in red instead of white
Okay, in that case, please follow the instructions that Governor will post in a second

^ That red text will show up in your log with the specific errors so we can more easily work out which mods are the problem and how to fix it.
One thing we can rule out even before that though: Are you unzipping the mods before putting them in the Mods folder? (Can't leave ZIP or RAR files in there as is without extracting the contents, they won't work)
@little yoke Regarding your issue, it is very possible that you and your friend are having a mod conflict issue, especially if you're modded and they aren't. If you could provide a log, it would help a lot to immediately know if there's a conflict because you may have a mod that REQUIRES your partner to have it also (such as SpaceCore or Alternative Textures)
hi sorry i was just getting ready for bed but heres the link https://smapi.io/log/701abedc5f9741ce8b51041942b36a3c

i know theres some errors but i just got tired in the end
You have BOTH everyone-required mods that I mentioned, in order to play with your friend, your friend will need those two installed at minimum.
okay! thanks she will be able to download them tomorrow
Depending on who's the host, you'll need to match on C# mods, generally.
Sleep well!
thanks!!
Hi me and my bf has been trying to play stardew co op but it keeps crashing,, i have a crash log. can someone help me understand it and fix the issue?

Did you download the one from GitHub?
nexus
!uiinfosuite
UI Info Suite 2 can be found at https://github.com/Annosz/UIInfoSuite2/releases. It works with Stardew 1.5.6 and 1.6. Download the first zip, not the source code.
Grab that one, Edge ^
You’ll want that ^^
Alright thank you! Is this a popular mod?
Yes it is
and its QoL not like gameplay-changing right?
would this help?
Yup
or did i upload it right
k thx for the help
you did it right, I'm looking through it!
alright, i appreciate it!
So far, I'm seeing that HealthBars mod is very unhappy and might need to be removed, and they have a conflict with two different Fashion Sense mods trying to pull the same hairstyles file: Coii's Girls Sets Pack and Coii's Hair Sets Pack.
They'll want to remove one of those, in case it's causing the Farmer draw error that is crashing their game.
okay ill be sure to tell him that, thnak you!!
They also have Custom Furniture, which, in addition to being VERY outdated is not compatible with Stardew Valley 1.6
hey guys
gotcha, thanks so much
Hello! Do you need help with something, or just popping in to say hey? 🙂
hey fire do you need me to post the url agin?
nope, looking at it now
kk thx
ohhhh, this looks like an FAudio issue. Quick question: Do you have an audio device plugged in?
no
Plug one in if you can
ok
The game gets very upset if it can't find an audio output, so that might be an easy fix if that's the issue
ok just did computer is resetting I'll let you know of it works
I'll have to step away shortly but if I do and your issue is still not fixed, I'll try to call in another helper that may have some further insight ❤️
ok thank you
pretty sure my issue is resolved all red text is white thank you very very much
Glad to hear it!
someone know the name of and mod witch serves to break more bushes, to make the map cleaner (bushes that cannot be broken with the axe)
I believe you're thinking of Destroyable Bushes, right?
yeaaah thats right
thank u googie
so cuuuute🥰
you're welcomeeeee!
can anyone help me get smapi working on android please, it keeps force closing when trying to launc
!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.
i am on the version 1.5.6.39 and still get force close with the latest smapii installer
I was wondering if anyone could look at the errors I am having to help me fix them if it is possible... please... https://smapi.io/log/4c21ce004c7346ef935f744d00686638
Log Info: SMAPI 4.0.8 with SDV 1.6.8 build 24119 on Microsoft Windows 10 Pro, with 58 C# mods and 73 content packs.
Suggested fixes: One or more mods are out of date, consider updating them
What do you have TMXL installed for?
not really sure 😐
might be for the PPJA content..
Oh wait.. I had Trent boarding house at one time but it was throwing errors and I removed it..
It looks like you're trying to run some 1.5-era mods in 1.6
Which isn't advised since they haven't been updated to use 1.6 format. PPJA, for example, has been replaced by Cornucopia, which doesn't need frameworks like json assets or mail framework anymore
Some of them may still run, but it can cause some weirdness in your game, which is why it's recommended to stick to 1.6-era mods (generally mods which have been updated close to or after March 19 2024)
Okay I will go through them and weed it out.. I was just going by smapi.io and downloading mods that appeared to still work 🙂
As for the event errors, it looks like those just have incorrect capitalization in the event preconditions, so let the mod author know so they can fix that
hey thought i got it fixed but no mods are appearing can someone read my thing over and tell me whats wrong please

Okay thanks so much 🙂
Can you share a screenshot of your mods folder?
Alright, so your Mods folder is in the wrong place
Do you have the location of the smapi install?
You want the folder where stardew itself is installed
im a little lost how do i do that?
Did you get stardew via steam?
yes
According to your SMAPI log, your game folder should be here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley
Thx Dolphin, I always forget that it's in the log lol
@still ingot you want your mods folder to be in that folder so that smapi can find it
Alright, generate another log please

Did you put those mods in that folder? Smapi's still saying they're not in there
helloo! just wanna ask for help, i was dowloading this farm map called WaFF (water forest farm) and when i downloaded it for some reason the map or option for it wasnt showing🙁
let me try

its all in there
The mods don't go in your smapi folder, they go in this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods
If you copy paste that folder directory into your file explorer address bar it should come up
In this field
this
so i put it in console comands or just put the file in there
No, put your mods alongside those, like this
ConsoleCommands and SaveBackup are additional mods that come packaged with SMAPI for stuff like debugging
Keep those in there
ohh so can all the mods be in a folder or do they need sepperated
That part is up to you. I typically keep my mods organized like this
But you can have them all directly in that folder if it's easier
The important part is that they're all inside the Mods folder in the Stardew folder
just tried and messed up like 3 or 4 paragraphs of red text hold on and I'll send the log

oh no like 360 issues
Hmm, looks like your Stardew Valley Expanded folder is missing a bunch of files
Delete and redownload that mod, and be sure to put it in your mod folder
ok any others
You can delete the smapi installer folder (the one in the image) from your Mods folder; since you've already installed smapi, you don't need the installer anymore
That's the only other thing being flagged in your log
ok thx
Oh also, Cryptids mod hasn't been updated for 1.6 yet, so it's 50/50 whether it'll work or not. Keep an eye on it and take it out if you notice it causing any issues (it doesn't seem to be so far, but that could change)
ok thx
I'm doing something wrong I might just have a bad mod thx for everything though ima just have my sister show me what she did
and yes I mainly just give up😭
Is SVE still missing files when you redownload it?
yeah
Are you using vortex?
yea
!vortex
Vortex isn't recommended for Stardew Valley.
It's hard to troubleshoot and often causes issues like SMAPI/mods not being installed or updated correctly, files mysteriously disappearing, crashes, etc. Volunteers here often can't help with Vortex issues.
Some options:
- Install mods directly (which is easy and safe in Stardew Valley!).
- Or use Stardrop, a mod manager specifically designed for Stardew Valley.
- Or get help with Vortex in the Nexus Discord or Vortex support forums.
(See also the Nexus App feedback thread, if you want to help Nexus avoid the same issues in their upcoming replacement for Vortex.)
Recommended not to use that, it tends to eat mod files
wait mb I'm using nexus
Vortex is a Nexus mod manager
so im using......vortex?
do you download mods and manually put them in your mods folder?
yeah I go to nexus hit manual download and then add them to the mod folder
then you are not using vortex, no JDSKHKSD when you redownloaded SVE, did you overwrite the files?
no I did it how I did the other mods
my sister got it to work on her own so I figure I'll just have her run me trough it
okay, if you still need help you're free to come back here and id be happy to help!
ok thank you very much
If you are running Windows defender or another antivirus they could very well be deleting part of the mod file, so if it continues to be an issue, temporarily disable your firewall/antivirus until you have completed the manual download of SVE
alr I'll try that later thank you
I used portraiture and this happened, anyone knows how to fix it??
feels like I shouldn't be looking at this image
?
That's their hairline, right? Zoomed in real weird.
yes 
do you guys know the name of the mod that shows the farm type/map list? i forgot the name of it, cause custom maps options r not showing (its not an error btw:})
nvm i found it
Ask in #modded-stardew
They have more info about these kind of things
Hi
I don't see app data
perfect 
need help in identifying the mod that also edits the gemstones! i know one is animaded gemstones thats the one i wanna keep but idk with the other one is its NOT vanilla tweaks i alrady checked heres also a sampie log with my current modlist https://smapi.io/log/2cdb27adf3a841918adc6f03a719bbe8

also to note not all gems and minreals are even affected
Do you have Lookup Anything?
yes i do
Did you try that to see if that helped?
it dose not tell me what textures are used as far as i know
what gemstone isn't affected, for an example?
diamond
i can run to the museum once the new day started to show more of what is affected and what not
that's probably enough, since the diamond is in the Maps/springobjects tilesheet
https://smapi.io/log/2cdb27adf3a841918adc6f03a719bbe8?Levels=trace~debug~info~warn~error~alert~critical&Filter=springobject on the other hand you have quite a few mods editing that

the other problem is that you can change the texture the object uses nowadays
Few missing things I see there
that's in Data/Objects for reference
And I'm looking through the mod list, that gem looks VERY familiar..
raffax i can ingore as the mod is not fully up to date the othere onces i grab the depencisy later
heres a few more stuff that affected and what not
Those just looks like animated gemstones glitching out.
They flicker between the animated gemstone versions and the game's original versions.
So try deleting and reinstalling animated gemstones.
i figured it out i have animaded mining pack also installed with might be causing the conflict
il see if that fixes it
gives me the opportunity to install the missing mods too
me an installing mods somtimes 😅😂
Oh I see, the Animated Mining Pack version has more frames than the Animated Gemstones version.
So it seems that it plays the Gemstones animation first and then Mining Pack for the rest.
i would assume that lets see if removing animaed mining pack fixes that
hiii, would someone be able to help me figure out what mod is causing a random icon to appear in my inventory? i’ve tried to find it myself with no success
i’ll send it in #images-and-memes :))
update it was in fact animaded mining pack!
That's the armor slot added by Never Ending Adventure, which would glitch out if you added too many ring slots from Wear More Rings.
thank you so much!!
i used save anywhere the previous day and when i opened my game its like this, cant open the menu or anything
First send log to make sure there is nothing wrong.
i fixed it, i just removed save anywhere
ok
how i can update smapi to 4.0?
Morning all! Sorry if this isn't the right place, but I've never modded any game ever before and I'm trying to find info on how to mod SDV while keeping my gog hours played updated. Is there any information somewhere on that?

THANK YOU! I knew there was supposed to be a page on the wiki and couldn't find it for the life of me!
I wanted to see if it was possible before I downloaded or installed anything since I don't know what I'm doing lol.
Do you know if there will be any issues since I have my game saved on an external HD?
I don't know about that, sorry
No worries! I appreciate the help!

?
Nexus says you can download new one and run install, it should clean up the old one
oh
thank you
I happened to be trying to download SMAPI right now and saw it on the page, lol
i can really understand most of the English words
Ooh. No worries! It's impressive you know more than one language! That's always so cool
i learn it just for the memes 
I still have this problem where the portrait is too big, can someone help me? im using portraiture
sorry about the thread revival but this literally saved me, it kept saying the .bat kept saying path not found
off topic but your character is so prettyyy 🥺

guys i need help in stardrop mod, after setted up the paths, how to make sure the unzipped files can run?
guys my uiinfosuite isnt working
[SMAPI] - UIInfoSuite2-2.3.4 because it contains files, but none of them are manifest.json.
was the error it was showing
Enable them.
i did
now that's all ?
like when i place unzipped files, only enable them?
Did you drag the unzipped files to Stardrop
not yet
Do that.
i haven't placed any yet
ok i'll try rn
Drag and drop the unzipped mods to Stardrop and it'll extract them and go from there
Just make sure to enable them
ok thank you a lot !!!

Have you tried reinstalling it.
what if i want to plaze the unzipped inside another file? like hair mod into hair file
And making sure you downloaded the correct VERSION.
You'll have to do some editing within that.
Just install them together lol
Youl be able to choose whatever hair anyways
ok thanks
i will try that
Install this one. Unzip, move unzipped to mods folder, go from there.
Don't worry about the other two.
yea i did that well idk why but github isnt working for me so i asked that .zip file from a friend maybe thats why
Yep. Definitely why.
unsure how GitHub isn't working for you. It works fine here.
!UIinfosuite
UI Info Suite 2 can be found at https://github.com/Annosz/UIInfoSuite2/releases. It works with Stardew 1.5.6 and 1.6. Download the first zip, not the source code.
its ok i will figure it smhw
game crashed so i wanna know what happened
Log Info: SMAPI 4.0.8 with SDV 1.6.8 build 24119 on Microsoft Windows 11 Home Single Language, with 81 C# mods and 232 content packs.
guys, after downloading some clothings, hairs, etc mods, where do i find them?
So far, a few things. Some of the mods you're using are not compatible with 1.6, at least the version you downloaded. Custom Furniture is obsolete as of 1.6. You'll need the CP version of them if they have it available. And it appears Dynamic reflection was the issue. Try reinstalling it and deleting the mods that were skipped over and see if they have a (CP) Content Patcher version that can be used.
Clothing/Hair add on mods require Fashion Sense.
yep i have that
Then you need to buy the customization mirror from Pierre
ok thanks
thx, so it wont fit until the creator updates the mod?
no, just use Portraiture and copy and paste it in a folder in the Portraits folder like what it's shown in the screenshots in the guide. you don't need to wait for any updates
what portrait are you using and can i see a screenshot of your portraiture folder?
i think my folder its ok, and im using juna hd portraits
did you press P during a conversation with her
yup
show me the folder with her portrait in it, please
are these folders inside portraiture/portraits?
mhm
sure
you most likely need to rename Juna_main.png to Juna.png (and use PortraiturePlus to make the other portraits work)
thx! im already using portraiture plus
also please check for these files in that folder
do i have to put them into my portraits folder??
no, if these files are in that folder you should remove them
ah, ya ya. they are not in the folder
I think Yuki has this and more people pinging the person asking for help just confuses them
Standard support etiquette is to not interrupt others

oh i apologize, i linked a guide to them and they replied back to my response, earlier than when Yuki offered support so I thought it was fine. sorry.
it's totally fine! you're right about the portrait needing to be renamed, i just wanted to pop in and ask a few more clarifying questions because if the portrait is loading im sure they know how to use portraiture, generally DJKHSDJK /lighthearted
i think i made a mistake, sorry guys. i literally replaced her original portraits to see if they would work but no, lol. but eh, my portraits of lunna and juna doesnt work with portraiture

Ok - I'll step in with Yuk1OMI's permission, especially since I'm more familiar with Portraiture
There's a few things I noticed - Your naming schema for portraits is off, especially if you're trying to run PortraiturePlus too.
First, I'd like a quick screenshot of your PortraiturePlus folder, make sure it's properly separated from Portraiture.
Second, can I ask about the 2, 3, 4 folders in your Portraits folder? Is there anything in them?
Third, Portraiture only looks for <NPCName>.png as a naming schema, as well as a couple of additions like _Beach (So <NPCName>_Beach.png). PortraiturePlus extends the naming schema to include seasons, events, days, and locations, but has a specific naming pattern you can find on the Nexus page
All of your portraits need to fit the pattern below for PortraiturePlus to do anything with them.
{NPC Name}_{Location Name}_{season}_{day}.png
{NPC Name}_{Location Name}_{season}.png
{NPC Name}_{Location Name}_{day}.png
{NPC Name}_{Location Name}.png
{NPC Name}_{season}_Indoor.png / {NPC Name}_{season}_Outdoor.png
{NPC Name}_{season}_{day}.png
{NPC Name}_{season}.png
{NPC Name}.png```
in my 2,3,4 folders there are different portraits for the same npcs
oh, ya ya. thx!
Are they meant for the same use (Such as multiple winter portraits so you can switch between them), or are they different uses such as spring, summer, fall, winter.
for the same use
and yes, portraiture plus is separated
is there a way to download mods from stardrop? like insert links and the app download and unzip the things etc
Stardrop unfortunately requires Nexus Premium to do anything with actually updating mods, but I believe you still have to download an initial copy of the mod for it to work with.
It looks like you can just download the zips, then go to file -> add mods and mass select the zips though
ok thanks for ur help
ok
are this names ok? or should i change them
Ok - There may be an issue with how you're extracting the zip files containing mods from that screenshot (It looks like you have two versions of content patcher installed, but I'll wait to see if there's errors before trying to fix that with you, since I might be reading the screenshot wrong)
oh, i dont have two versions of content patcher iirc
Still partially wrong.
Juna_.png should be Juna.png, I'm not sure what _BS, _BSR, _E2 are meant to be used for. PortraiturePlus doesn't seem to have support for weather specifics (So _Rain won't work)
ohhh, ya ya. ill change them
FINALLY, THX SO MUCH 
hey guys
Progress! Do you have alternate seasonal portraits you want to test or check the naming for?
i was thinking to install stardew expanded, what is the chance of corrupting the save I already have?
i think it wont corrupt your save
You'll want to remove the _Sun, _Rain, _Snow from the file names
and going to have a bug in the map?
like biulds over biulds
so is it ok like this?
Shouldn't corrupt, but you may end up with odd consistency issues where trees and such will appear in the wrong spot since they're using the old locations. If you change farms, you'll have bigger issues.
You might also end up missing some events.
Remove the ending _
understand
thank u!
better make a new save
is this ok ?
Looking better, EggFestival should be EggF, MoonlightJellies should be Jellies, SVFair should be Fair
hii im trying to download smapi for mac, and im following the tutorial, rn the files are downloaded i think? but when i go to click macOS.command it says that mac cant run it because its from an unidentified developer.. does anyone know what to do
I'm not fluent in MacOS troubleshooting, but if you can take a screenshot of the error, that should be enough for me to point you in the right direction
Per Apple, try this:
In the Finder on your Mac, locate the app you want to open.
Don’t use Launchpad to do this. Launchpad doesn’t allow you to access the shortcut menu.
Control-click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu.
Click Open.
The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it just as you can any registered app.
If that doesn't work, there's a second option that involves tweaking security permissions, but I'd rather start with the easier solution
it did work
Excellent.
where should i be adding smapi?
If you ran it and it successfully installed, it added itself to your Stardew Valley folder
the options are my usual downloads or somewhere else
oh wait oops i know what to do nvm
didnt read it all the way T-T
hi i was haveing issues yesterday and still am so i went ahead and just deleted everything and re installed it can someone please look at my log and see what my issue is

Log Info: SMAPI 4.0.8 with SDV 1.6.8 build 24119 on Microsoft Windows 10 Home, with 8 C# mods and 4 content packs.
i did the diretions correctly yet its still not working
First - you don't need or want the SMAPI installer in your mods folder, that's one of the errors
Second - can you take a screenshot inside of your Stardew Valley Expanded folder?
Ok - that is very much the wrong mods folder
That's probably your main issue
The correct Mods folder is in your Stardew Valley install directory
how do i get there
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley
for example, if installed via Steam
hi! my friend has tried to download the mods needed to play in multiplayer with me and my friend but shes still getting a blank screen could someone help us? https://smapi.io/log/797a3604a4db42d49f77a2b99ac0cf60
Log Info: SMAPI 4.0.8 with SDV 1.6.8 build 24119 on Microsoft Windows 11 Home, with 2 C# mods and 0 content packs.
That looks like the mods aren't installed correctly - It's only loading SaveBackup and ConsoleCommands, which come default with SMAPI.
If I had to guess, she either left them in the zip files, or the folders are in the wrong directory.
i dont understand computers so i have no idea what any of this means
so if this is the right folder i take it i just need to add sve to it?
All of your mods need to end up inside the Mods folder that you can see in the screenshot
Not the Mods folder you had on your desktop
I assume you're sou's friend? Can you show me a screenshot of where you put the mods? (If you're on windows, the printscreen button on the keyboard makes it easy)
yep i am sou's friend!
ok so do i need to remove the installer from there add ftm content patcher and sve to there?
the folder is what was attached to stardew valley when i right clicked on it
Yeah.
Ok - You need to unpack the mods from the zip files (See how the type is Compressed (Zipped) folder) - SMAPI can't open or read ZIP files naturally - You should be able to open them, then drag the files inside to your Mods folder.
ok ill do that or at least try then update you
so im trying to figure out how to move all of it to that folder but idk how
@little yoke including you on the ping so you can help your friend if needed
Just right click the original folder, select cut, go to the correct mod folder, right click, and choose paste.
i think i have got it thank you and i will see how it goes
we have fixed the issue we think! thanks
Good to hear - this channel will still be here if there's something else wrong and you need help again.
ok i did it let me launch stardew and see if it works then ill send a log if it does not
nope what am i doing wrong? https://smapi.io/log/083e80f34175495eb413605bf54eb5c3
Log Info: SMAPI 4.0.8 with SDV 1.6.8 build 24119 on Microsoft Windows 10 Home, with 8 C# mods and 4 content packs.
That looks like the same errors as last time - Can you post your mods folder again? I suspect you've somehow worked on the wrong folder again, but without a screenshot I can't be sure
They need to go INSIDE the Mods folder in the screenshot
SMAPI is not a mod and does not belong there
ok so what do i do to it
after installing it you can delete the installer
ok
You can delete that folder, it's just the installer. The rest looks correct now.
this is currently the problem im having
ok ill try it now
you must install Content Patcher required by that mod
sorry just dropped in but do u have content patcher?
the error message includes a nexus link
it has the link in your photo !
oh oopsies
it's basically a mod that encompasses other ones
it worked thank you so so so very much
No problem - glad we could get it working.
i hope all of you who helped me have a very good day
so do i put it in the mods folder or the vanilla tweaks folder which is in the mods folder
mods folder
okie tysm :3
Not to be a hardass about it, but might want to take the conversation elsewhere so we can keep the channel clear for people needing help.
ofc ofc sorry
Can anyone help me figure out this error message and how to fix it!! 😫 ❤️ https://smapi.io/log/c1c8b01d0a334253b30fd4df43fe5282

the error came from auto grab truffles
not very clear why it is fail, may want to report to the mod author
Okay thanks so much!
tho you should prob try completely reinstalling the mod first
i.e. delete whole folder
just in case that fixes it
I have tried that but I will do it again just incase! Thanks for your help!!!
has anyone used the combat made easy mod?

Can someone help? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mods and it didnt work https://smapi.io/log/3b6436131b12478885d5ba6e8c1a6b49
Log Info: SMAPI 4.0.8 with SDV 1.6.8 build 24119 on Microsoft Windows 11 Home, with 60 C# mods and 83 content packs.
Can you post a screenshot of your Mods folder? I can't tell if the errors are because of old XNB mods, or if part of the file directory got mangled and everything is out of place
As well as a screenshot of a different folder - Stardew Valley\Content
on it
Ok - In the 4th screenshot, you've got a folder that's just called "Content" in your Mods folder - Can you open it and screenshot? It looks like it probably shouldn't belong, but need to see the contents to be sure
that's what my first screenshot is
Ah - Couldn't tell without the folder paths at the top - That's the Content folder 'inside' Mods?
What happens if you go up one directory to the base Stardew Valley folder and look at the Content folder there (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Content if it's installed via Steam)
Apologies, discord ate the fact the above message was supposed to be a reply and didn't ping you.
but yes thats the content folder in mods
Ok - It looks like you dragged it in and mangled your folder structure a bit, which is why the errors are so inconsistent.
Hey I need help, so I don't know why but everytime I try to open the game with mods it just crashes and it doesn't let me open it. This is the first time it happens, and I haven't opened the game in a while. Here's my log if needed https://smapi.io/log/0e39906e6e9f46b6be552cf3c2d3cb32
Log Info: SMAPI 4.0.6 with SDV 1.6.8 build 24119 on Microsoft Windows 10 Pro, with 0 C# mods and 0 content packs.
You'll need to go back into your Mods folder, Cut the Content folder, and Paste it back in the Stardew Valley folder - Once that's done, we'll fix the rest of your Mods directory. Your folder structure will look like this (Minus the ModsDev and Inactive Mods folders, that's from my mod development side of things)
Log isn't showing any mods. Can you post a screenshot of your Mods folder?
okay will do
Ok - So whatever's going on is crashing SMAPI before it generates usable logs - If you try to launch the base game (Stardew Valley.exe in the Stardew Valley folder), does the game launch or crash?
alright i did it
The game itself works perfectly fine if I open the Stardew Valley.exe file, but if I open the modded one (StardewModdingAPI) it just crashes
Ok, the second step is that you've somehow nested your mods folder inside another mods folder (So the path to your mods is Stardew Valley/Mods/Mods/) based on the screenshot you sent. For the sake of keeping things organized, I would recommend cutting everything in the second Mods folder, and pasting it one level up in the first folder.
Your directories should end up looking like Stardew Valley/Mods/<Your Mods Here> when it's done
Ok - those are the worst to try and troubleshoot - I can see that you're a couple of versions of SMAPI behind - Can you grab a fresh copy of 4.0.8 from https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2400, then run the installer and choose to uninstall SMAPI?
After removing SMAPI completely, try to reinstall it via the 4.0.8 installer.
Alright, I'll try
Hopefully it's just a bad SMAPI install for some reason, but if it doesn't work, we'll have to start digging.
got it! they're all moved over
Alright - go ahead and launch SMAPI and see if it works
IT WORKED!!! Thank you so much for your help 
So everything is back to normal and loading properly? Glad to hear it.
Yessss thank you royalty 👑 it worked!
Glad to hear it - The Content folder contains base files for Stardew Valley to actually run - Not sure how it ended up in your Mods folder, but it was causing things to freak out when it was suddenly missing.
Enjoy your Stardew Valley.
this happens after i un zip sdve. do i move all subfolders into my mods folder or am i only supposed to move one? if so which do i move?
Leave them all in the folder - It keeps things organized for Stardew Valley Expanded, and you need all three to make it work.
When mods have multiple parts, they'll often bundle them all in one larger folder for organizational purposes.
awsome thanks
I do want to say - there are exceptions to this rule, but the mod page will usually warn you. Challenging Community Center Bundles is one where you need to pick only the version you want, but these tend to be fairly uncommon.
Hello:P My friend is trying to install smapi so she can play with mods, but when she launches the game this happens. Anyone know how to fix this?
Did they try to launch the installer directly from the ZIP file? If so, have them extract the folder first, then run the installer
They did un zip the file. They tried to install smapi again a cople times, but got the same error every time.
when we tried to uninstall it, said that it didnt have permission to do so? idk
Weird
Take a screenshot of all the dlls in your game folder
these??
she has two. one in the stardew valley folder and one in a smapi folder
actually four?
Hey there guys quick question I downloaded Mono's portraits mods and the portraits are still the same. I thought with content patcher I didn't need to do anything but just add the file to the mod folders. Did I do something wrong?

(potential culprits: not unzipped or unzipped in wrong directory, another portrait mod applying later and overwriting)

is there a cheat or mod to max out hearts with pet??
i'm using the love of cooking alpha that was posted in this server, does anyone know if/how cooking chocolate is obtainable in this ver? Not being sold by Gus or Pierre, no recipe that I know of.
Hey, so maybe someone knows the selution. I have this mod installed where the hat mouse has a friend or something like that that sell clothes, but i can really talk to him. he is in cindercep forest btw
oh wow thats an old one
tailor mouse hasnt been updated in like 2 years. i'd be surprised if it works with 1.6
well my modloader is not complaining so i thought it works perfectly fine
Eh - There's a lot of underlying structure mods that have been deprecated because the game's behavior has changed or other mods like Content Patcher actually integrate into the game properly - JsonAssets is mostly deprecated at this point (legacy support only, I believe), and PPJA has long since been replaced by content patcher mods
So the end result is - The mod is still 'valid', but the underlying structure it expects is no longer there, depending on age and what it does
is there like a custom music mod?
@low nova You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels and share images in all channels!
#modded-stardew is probably a better choice for that question
Can someone send me the UIinfosuite2 from GitHub I can't download that for some reason have been trying since yesterday 😭

nope! distributing mods like that is technically mod piracy and not allowed

Hey guys quick question, I opened up the game on a 32 bit laptop and it wouldn’t open at first so I had to do the compatibility thingy in steam and fixed it, but then I tried to download smapi and it said my computer doesn’t support it, so then I tried to download an older version and it said it isn’t compatible with my version of the game, is there a way to fix that?
SMAPI doesn't support 32bit systems
apparently, the last version of SMAPI to support legacy Stardew Valley is 2.11.3. This means that in order to use mods you [had to] rollback your Stardew Valley game version to 1.3.36.
lies, all LIES; it was a set-up from the get-go
Really hoping the meat plants will return for 1.6. I haven't seen any mod that can replace it, or an update
thx! all these seems unrelated so its a bit weird that they conflict 🥲
There's some random stuff in the Cursors tilesheet. It's not actually all cursors
1.5.4 is the last smapi supported 32bit version, with smapi 3.12.8

@gloomy oxide [CP] Adventurer's Guild Expanded looks like it's broken. It is missing it's manifest.json which is mandatory for the mod to work. You have a lot of game files missing. Try reinstalling the mods. From the looks of it all errors are from missing files

So I’m using this one with that mod https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/22504
And I want to know if there is a way to make them follow me
but it doesn't do what you said it... ok the second one changes the cat
which version of slugcats did you download? the regular one or the Alternative Textures one? only the AT version changes cats to slugcats, the regular one simply introduces them as new pets
Oh, ya ya. I installed the one with new pets but I activated the replace with cats in config menu
I will try to install just the textures one
Thx
ah my bad, I didn't see the part about that config option... did the retexture work for you?
if it worked for you you can keep that version, skimming the code, all it changes is the texture and sounds of the regular cat, Pet's Enhanced should work for them; only cat-slugcats, though, real-slugcats won't work

Hello!
Ive been having some problems installing smapi, i tried to look at other forums but nothing solved my problem. Found this discord on the wiki i hope im on the right channel, otherwise ill delete and change.
For context i downloaded stardew valley on steam, i already have a town in game and wanted to add mods. I downloaded the latest version of smapi and i am following the instructions on the official website to download it. I am on windows.
Everytime i click on "install on windows" the first message show up. I tried to launch it on my computer as administrator and the second pic showed up telling me that it can't find the pathway. Translation of the first sentence "The specified path was not found".
Please help me i feel lost.
Thank you😊
After downloading the .zip file, what folder did you extract the contents to?
I tried to extract it on the computer desktop
Do you have a folder called "SMAPI 4.0.8 installer" on your desktop?
I do
And inside that you have a file called "install on Windows.bat"?
It is called "install on windows" without the .bat and the type says Windows command file
Ok, can you try moving that folder to somewhere else? Maybe into your downloads folder instead?
I tried it too and it is the same
Ok, sorry for the delay, I was reading back
Can you please show me a screenshot of your "SMAPI 4.0.8 installer" folder with the file path visible?
Just popping in real quick to ask that you try to run it normally and NOT as Administrator, as that can cause its own problems if you run the installer as administrator
She has already run it normally, but that is good to know for us going forward to avoid trying any more use of administrator, thank you!
I tried to run it normally too! It was just to say that i tried different options.
Here it is, my computer is in french but i translated a little. Let me know in case we need more translation
Are your downloads and desktop folders inside OneDrive?
One last minor suggestion if it hasn't been attempted yet: Try moving the SMAPI installer folder to a place located on the same drive as Stardew Valley (so if SDV is on C drive, move the SMAPI installer folder to something on C drive)
Might not be relevant, but I did notice your original error message is trying to reach C drive from E drive and that can sometimes be an issue
One drive has been doing random stuff on my computer that i dont really understand. Ill try to check that and the C drive thing and get back to you
I used to mod stardew valley all the time. I loved doingit, it was easy. install smapi, run stardew put mods in folder done.
But now I cant get smapi to "engage" with stardew. No matter what I follow on the guide I cant get smapi to click with stardew on steam. Everything I load up is vanilla.
what painfully obvious thing am I not getting?
have you changed your launch path option in Steam's game properties for Stardew?
Yeah, what lily said
to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" because if so, I have.
you're missing the %command% bit at the end, IIRC
It's required.
that's copied straight from steam properties
Yup, it's required. Like so "E:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%
I hate coding. this sin't a shot at anyone here, just the concept. I saw the "quottation marks" and assumed that's all I needed.Did this change with some update after 1.3?
I have no idea, sorry.
ohhh nevermind. I'm...
ya'llre going to judge me. I forgot I had a second drive. and put stardew there too.
It happens more than you'd think!
So i checked and it's not on one drive. I tried to put the smapi installer folder in the "C:" same as steam and stardew and its still not working. It still talks about the "E:" but I can't find the "E:" anywhere on my computer
Do you get any prompts at all when running the installer?
Or is it just immediately erroring?
nope, existed at least before the 5th of july 2018 (source: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows&oldid=71765#Install)
It is immediate
Look I've seen worse and judged less
the installer worked perfectly I think everything was trying to send messages to the wrong place.
Oh it was not me sorry 🫣
Don't worry, it was you!
No, it was you but the question worked for both!
Oh ok!
!troubleshoot
hey! Can I get you to run through this troubleshooting guide https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch? If none of the options there work, can you post the error message you get if you open SMAPI using the command line?
Going back to the SMAPI installer folder, can you hold down shift on your keyboard and right-click on the blank part in this folder below the word "internal" and then click "Open Powershell window here"?
I'm trying to reinstall the game (i have my game saved). If it is still not working ill tell you. Sorry for the time it takes my internet is a bit bad
I mean my town saved
You mean your farm?
You can ignore the troubleshoot instructions at the start, Abagaianye is directing you through the installer issues portion at the bottom of that page. 🙂
Yes sorry
It's ok, we all forget words sometimes
Powershell is opened
Can you send a screenshot of what it has so far?
I wonder if it dislikes being in the root C folder
maybe that's why it keeps talking about E: but i can't find the E:
I'm not 100% confident on this, but I don't think the E: drive is on your computer.
(Stack traces refer to the programmers computer. Not yours)
Try copying this into your powershell ./"install on Windows.bat"
It seems to want to use your Temp folder and then doesn't have permission to do that.
can you try run as admin
Tried, failed, fireredlily recommended against it
Try going to "C:\Users\camil\AppData\Local\Temp". Right-click inside the folder, then click properties. Go to the security tab. Check that you have read and write permissions.
Im looking for appdata. I can't find any in the camil folder but when i do a research i have 10 empty ones that show up its pretty weird
Ah, you can't see hidden folders
In your file explorer, go to view -> show -> hidden items
Same for local. But i dont have any "temp"
I hate how much these companies try to dumb people down
Ok. I found that you can do a manual install and that worked for someone else having your issue, so let's try that
Ok!
Apparently there is a readme file inside the folder which contains the instructions. Alternatively, atravita took someone else through it years ago (things might be different now but worth trying). #archived-modded-support message
Yes im looking. Thank you so much ill tell you if it worked!
Good luck!
i don't have the install.dat, only a instal type dat or a install.exe
should i call the dat file .zip?
Oh, you already had visible file extensions. That's weird that the .dat file isn't showing it but the others are
yes. I deleted smapi, dowloaded it again, tried it twice and everytime the dat folder didn't appear
Well, that is the file you want. Try renaming it to install.zip anyway.
i tried to click on it but it launched "support assist" and a blue window and then nothing
Try right-clicking and seeing what options you have for opening it with
support assist or microsoft store
Baffling
it took me to a dat opener. I dowloaded the dat opener and then selected the file
and now i have an empty text page
We don't want to open a dat file. We want to change the dat file to a zip file.
We need you to get a window like this
But if its file extension is hidden, that doesn't happen
Try hiding file extensions and then showing them again
Hmm. I just hid file extensions in my folder and the only one it hid was for that file. So yours must be hidden, I think
So just go and click view -> show -> file name extensions once
And then go look at the file again
Whew
my game keeps crashing whenever i try to load a save file
i think it worked. Thank you so much!!!!!!
Hooray! You're welcome :)

Suggested fixes: One or more mods are out of date, consider updating them
idk how to do that
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
So you do have several things that need updated
Delete SVE and reinstall
Including smapi itself. I'd recommend following this guide to update
So much has changed
i tried updating smapi and got so lost but ill try again with everything
My recommendation would be to read the getting started guide.
I know it's for people who don't have smapi but it might trigger some of your memory and updating follows similar steps to installing 💜
ok ill try that thank you !!
Of course! If you run into issues with a particular step pop back in here!

can someone help me out?
You'll want making mods!
This is playing with mods support
Is your recolor updated for 1.6?
Well according to the nexus page it is
Which one is your recolor?
Daisyniko's earthy recolor
According to your log, you are also using Eemie's Just A New Map Recolour.
Is that one updated for 1.6?
Oh that's weird, maybe I accidentally added both
Well try deleting Eemie's then.
has anyone noticed that recently the "stardew valley crop calculator" isnt properly calculating how much profit you would earn from spending nearly any amount over $1500 or just any large amount
can someone help me install smapi on android?
What version of the game do you have?
Then no, sorry. That's later than 1.5.6.39, so SMAPI won't work with it.
!androidmods
Many mods are not compatible for Android, but there is an incomplete list of android compatible mods.
If you find a working mod that isn't on there, submit it by following the instructions here.
For mods not listed, they may or may not be compatible with android, but the Modding Android Wiki page provides more info on how to find a compatible version of a mod not listed in the first link.
Nope - that's the wrong one.
I tried to send them the correct one in making mods, but they didn't read it there either
There is no legal way to help you.
Minor versios
Nope, that's not legal
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, it's just a situation of "no mods for android SDV" anymore
you should understand that most new mods only support 1.6
dont need a super powerful pc to run stardew and it's still summer sale
I wonder if you can mod the game pass version
I know you can access quite a lot of the files from games installed there now
I'm experienced with using Minecraft mods with curseforge launcher, is it the same with Stardew?
Stardrop is the preferred launcher for Stardew mods, if you must use a mod manager.
SMAPI makes manually installing mods VERY easy, so a lot of people don't use a mod manager at all
!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.
Other mod managers can sometimes behave badly with Stardew mods, by not replacing mods correctly when updating them, so your mileage may vary.
i deleted all the old mods and replaced them with their updated version but i cant find the stardew modding api where i open up modded stardew
try installing smapi again
just tried that nothing changed
@jagged marsh yup, still the same
I mean - I see a bunch of different cats in the screenshot. Unless they're supposed to have completely different skins, which is an entirely separate mod from Portraiture and not something I'd know anything about
let me send the smapi log
ya ya, diff erent skins
In which case - I'll have to recommend it be passed to someone else. I'm really really unfamiliar with most content-patcher mods and what they cover. Either way, post the log and someone might be able to figure it out
If I start a SV world without mods and now decide that I want to add mods to it, will adding mods to my game screwup my save file for the world? will the new mods be applied to the preexisting world?
It depends a lot on the mods - Utility mods are generally safe to drop into existing saves, content mods that make significant changes to the town, npcs, or your farm can cause weirdness when old object placement is applied to the updated objects
You'll want to read over the nexus page though - mods that can't be dropped in mid save will generally warn you.
Alright thanks, I wasn't planning on getting story intensive mods, just an in game crop profit calculator and maybe the tractor mod eventually. I assume if I am playing co-op that anyone else that wants to play on the world would have to download all the same mods?
Ideally yes - you can get away with small mismatches, but it's very easy to break things or get wildly inconsistent results if mods aren't matched
So the realistic answer is: mods in multiplayer should match
Gotchu, thanks for the help

does someone know what to do to get the rusty key in expanded? i did what was written in the internet, but its nor working
Hiya! My friend & I have been running a co-op save and his steam crashed midway through the last day.
When he tries to join the co-op save now, his screen is completely black and he cannot move. Can open inventory and nothing else.
SMAPI went a bit crazy spamming red error logs. We tried removing his mod (the only mod he had was UI Info Suite 2) and launching on pure SMAPI and this is the error log:
https://smapi.io/log/6ae434b78e4a4c5491b6b1aa8a1d7eca

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated ;-;
Do you guys both have the same mods
?
For multiplayer, you guys will need to have matching mod lists
he only had UI Info Suite 2, I had a couple of retexture mods but nothing actual content changing. We're all the way into winter y1 without issue but I could send him my mods and see if it makes a difference?
It looks like it's specifically trying to load the red (?) silkie file from Elle's Cuter Coop Animals, but failing because your friend doesn't have it 

is there something i need to change?
Can anyone help me? 🙂

(it looks like that person is on android so they may still need pytk)
yea they r on old version for android
Ahhh my bad!
I believe the Rusty Key is locked behind friendship with Marlon and reaching the bottom of the Mines after you meet the artifacts requirement in SVE. SVE changes the conditions for the Rusty Key.
This is a gameplay question (as are the last few questions you’ve asked in here). You might have better luck asking in #modded-stardew 
🤦♀️
it was easy enough to answer this one time, and they'd likely stepped away anyway since it's been several hours. ❤️
Ik this is probably asked a bunch but I just can’t get smapi on my steam/stardew
I’ve downloaded it, done the terminal stuff
Just can’t find the file one I go to browse on the steam properties
!launchoptions did you set your steam launch options?
If you're using Steam or GOG on Windows, you will need to set your launch options in order for Steam/GOG to automatically launch with SMAPI. The SMAPI installer will tell you what to set as the launch options when it completes (green text). You can find instructions (with screenshots) on how to do that here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows#Configure_your_game_client
Thankyou!
can anyone tell me what this means?
i cant seem to figure out which mod/s are causing it
Just to confirm, you're on the 6.x.x testing version of Archipelago?
I believe the earlier versions are not compatible with Stardew Valley 1.6
i am indeed on the testing version

Nothing is immediately striking me as a known day start or save issue. You do also have an error regarding Where's My Horse at the start of your log, as well as another Archipelago error about a null parameter related to 'key'.
When I close my game, I get yellow messages about Susan from SVE and the Stardew Valley Expanded farm type manager. Susan is the only character this happens to. Game seems to run fine. Not sure if this is a problem or not. I'm aware that other mods are being weird lol
example: NPC Susan can't load schedules because they led to an infinite loop (spring_Wed -> spring -> spring)

There are videos in this channel's pins, too, if that would help you?
Hmm
Instead of taking a photo with your phone, could you please take a screenshot from your computer? Use cmd+shift+4 to take a snip.
Could I also see the full file path of your mods folder?
Yeah I just have to check I have discord on my laptop
No worries. 🙂
Thank you! I'd like to see the file path, though. Could you please go to your Finder menu --> View --> and select "Show Path"?
ah sure
The bottom of the Finder window will look like this when enabled
What I'm trying to do is make sure that you have things in the right place on your computer

Thank you! You have a lot of mods that are no longer compatible and/or need updating, so this is causing the game to crash. If you look at your log, everything that needs to be addressed is in the red text.
I have updated a bunch of mods today, and after that is when the issues started. I updated some and it still says I didn't, so I am not sure the right thing to download
Maybe I need to delete all my mods and just restart
You don't need to go that far. Where did you ge the "East Scarp" beta from?
Thank you! Can you try something for me? Inside this folder is a Unix file called "StardewModdingAPI" - can you try launching that directly and see what happens?
I got the one from github and the original one from nexus, but the nexus one was up to date and the message of needing to update it kept popping up
You should be able to launch from Steam, which is odd
Launching this way directly means Steam won't track your playtime or achievements
If you don't care about either of those, then this would work!
So it looks like the big holdup here is Expanded Preconditions Utility
Which it just told me to update previously... do you have a link to one that works?
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6529?tab=files Try using the one under "Optional Files" since we know it's for 1.6
It's been a bit since I've played, and this might be addressed already, but my spouses are saying their Single Dialogue alongside their Married Dialogue. Anyone know how to fix that?

I just downloaded stardew valley expanded off of nexus, and i want to use grampa's farm but i dont see the options and i cant find anything on the nexus page. is there a way to enamble it, or somewhere i need to download it from? or is it just not working
how do
It's a separate file on the mod's files page - you have to scroll down
I find optional files?
okay, thank you
oh jkk
It's on the page I linked 🙂
Yeahj
!saves
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
I saw it then lol it is 1am and I am not wearing my glasses
No worries!
Downloaded that, and extracted, should I try relaunching Stardew?
Make sure you delete the previous version first
I did that before I downloaded it
Perfect! Also make sure you have the most recent version of Custom Companions.
Then you can try relaunching.
I deleted that because i didn't see it working, I will redownload it
It's a requirement for a few of your mods
I have it and it works for me, so perhaps you might have had the wrong version?
still doing it
Could you please post a new log?

Ok. Good news is that there are fewer errors. So let's narrow it down.
You can delete TMXL Map Toolkit - it's obsolete.
East Scarp is throwing errors - try deleting it and reinstalling.
I have fixed it, I undid the last save by deleting the data and getting rid of the _old from the other two files
Perfect! Congrats!
Ridgeside Village is also erroring out - delete and reinstall.
You have two copies of Shop Tile Framework - that should be fixed if you delete Ridgeside and reinstall it.
done with east scarp and ridgside
You also need to install Custom Spouse Patio if you want "Sebastian's Garage" to work.
And lastly, Train Station - download the optional file listed on the mod page - the one titled "Train Station 1.2.0"
Nicely done - If it keeps happening, you might have some kind of issue corrupting your save, but hopefully this is a one off.
I hope so too, I'm good going back a ingame day though, it's not a super big deal, at least I know how to fix it
ALright did all of thoswe
Ok! Fingers crossed!
Sorry my typing is atrocious tinight lol
Try relaunching.
Good excuse to check your mod list and make sure you still have SaveBackup installed from when it came with SMAPI - Sometimes folks delete it and that's never a pleasant time if they need to revert.
SaveBackup?
No worries!
Yup - should have it in your Mods folder - ConsoleCommand and SaveBackup both come preinstalled with SMAPI, so if you never deleted them, you're fine.
I'm only double checking because you were just dealing with save integrity issues
Lemme check
