[jagged marsh]

Oh

I think I see it

paths..tsx (221 B) There's a couple files with a naming schema like this - I wonder if the double period is messing with things

[naive drum]

OH that might do it

[jagged marsh]

Specifically, it says it can't find the file with the double .., but that's how it's packed in the zip folder

No idea if Unix based systems do anything funky with a situation like that

'/home/nvrlnd35/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Mods/FLORIST PLAYTHROUGH/MarketTown/[CP] MarketTown/[CP] Market Map/Assets/Paths..tsx'.

Can you check this directory and verify it matches/exists?

[ancient monolith]

i think i may have found one of them, but ill check for more

[jagged marsh]

It's looking for the version with the double period, but they stand out weirdly compared to how the rest of the files are named

[ancient monolith]

here it is

[jagged marsh]

Can you check for the Paths..tsx one? Should be in the directory above.

Edit: Unfortunately, I'm just kind of spitballing and trying to figure things out, this isn't one I'm familiar with but it's almost 2 AM and want to try to help

[ancient monolith]

found the little bugger

[jagged marsh]

Hmm ok - So it does exist. Not sure why it can't find it then.

[ancient monolith]

i really appreciate the help. this mod is so interesting but broke EVERYTHING the moment i downloaded. itll crash right after the first day save

[jagged marsh]

Hmm. Is this the error you get after the first day ends/saves?

[ancient monolith]

i actually cant even load into the day. after character creation itll display an odd screen. i can see the farmhouse for a spilt second and hear the coin sound, but itll crash immediately after

[jagged marsh]

And the issues go away if you pull Market Town out? What happens if you run only Market Town + Required Dependencies but no other mods?

[ancient monolith]

i tried without market town, and it loads fine, but i have yet to load only market town

[jagged marsh]

Yeah - let's try to rule out whether it's market town, or an interaction causing issues

[ancient monolith]

got it, ill try removing the other mods

[forest jolt]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8828?tab=posts&BH=1

currently have this mod installed and demetrius need "slimey mushroom" in his bundle, but no mention on mod page

[jagged marsh]

Might be in the Mutant Bug Lair, based on the posts - Can't say for certain

[ancient monolith]

AH we got it! the mod author had made a fix that i hadn't seen at all

thank you so much for the help lovely people 😄

[jagged marsh]

Ah - well then. Somehow I missed it. Congrats on finding the solution

[forest jolt]

no idea where that is :( uh oh

[jagged marsh]

Hmm - that might be an issue - I've never been, but it looks like it's gated behind finishing the CC or Joja?

Worst case, if you have ConsoleCommands installed (Which you should) and don't mind 'cheating', you should be able to do

debug f itemnamewithnospaces quantity

[forest jolt]

yeah but then it makes no sense bc we need the slimy mushroom for cc completion

[forest jolt]

can i add it onto existing save file?

[jagged marsh]

Yeah - It should have come installed with SMAPI unless you deleted it.

And yeah - It shouldn't be required for the community center unless there's a way to get it beforehand, but mod authors do make continuity mistakes

I'll take a quick peek at the files

But based on the posts on the mod page, this is a fairly common issue

[forest jolt]

never messed w/ smapi files so it should still be there. ill just keep playing and if its my last item ill debug ig

[jagged marsh]

MIGHT be a rare item in the mines on mushroom floors based on context tags - I'm still looking

[forest jolt]

theres a spoiler section with all the ways to obtain mushrooms at the bottom, but this one wasnt listed 😔

ooh wait theres a button to "enable mushroom bundle" in generic mod config

idk if i have to go sleep, since its not fixed yet

[jagged marsh]

Yeah - It's either Mutant Bug Lair only, which is a progression error, or it might spawn in the mines on mushroom floors. Best I can tell you unfortunately.

[forest jolt]

okay, i know it can be spawned in the mushroom cave but unfortunately i chose fruit. Worst come worst debug income XD thank you tho ❤️

I just found out that you can mod stardew valley on mobile so i installed smapi and some mods when i start up smapi stardew valley it crashes

!androidsmapi

[native dragon]

Android SMAPI does not currently work for versions of SDV past 1.5.6.39. We do not know if or when it will be made compatible. It is not possible to downgrade to .39 through legal means so do not ask how to do this.

Mod support for 1.5 on Android is still experimental, so many mods are broken or buggy. That's often something SMAPI needs to fix, and we may not be able to provide a solution.

To use this command, type !androidsmapi.

[vital solar]

so just copy paste in the same place

Okay

[jagged marsh]

Yeah - You'll want to delete the other one you put in there. Final result should look like:

[dire fractal]

Hope this is the right place for this. I just installed the Health Bars mod (the version updated for 1.6) and now SMAPI won't launch. The cmd window flashes on the screen then closes before i see anything and SMAPI stops running. I've tried re-installing SMAPI, disabling the mod and regular stardew runs fine. I use vortex. I've checked and there are no error logs. Can anyone help?

[jagged marsh]

Can you try to get a log from when it opens then immediately closes? If there's nothing there, we can take a deeper look. Vortex is recommended against in general, but I don't want to blame it yet

!vortex

[native dragon]

Vortex isn't recommended for Stardew Valley.

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

Some options:

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

(See also the Nexus App feedback thread, if you want to help Nexus avoid the same issues in their upcoming replacement for Vortex.)

To use this command, type !vortex.

[vital solar]

So delete the original and replace with the non cp one

[dire fractal]

I've tried following the instructions to get a log but there's nothing in the folder. Give me a minute while i search my for the files it may be called just in case it is stored somewhere else

[gaunt sorrel]

why does it just keep saying this, when I already updated the necessary mods, it's smapi that is having errors

[jagged marsh]

It may not be generating a log if it's crashing too early, but there should be a log file from when you've launched SMAPI without the mod - Are you in the right directory?

[dire fractal]

I should be. I'm following the links instructions and it's bringing me to the error logs folder. It may be somewhere in vortex but even hitting the "SMAPI log" button just gives me a "no SMAPI logs found" notif.

[jagged marsh]

So you're ending up in /Appdata/Roaming/Stardew Valley/ErrorLogs?

Interesting.

Quick question - is this Steam installed version of Stardew, Windows OS?

[dire fractal]

Yup. Should I not be?

Steam

[jagged marsh]

No, that is the correct directory, so that's odd it's not showing up unless the crash is right after it deletes the old version.

Do you have your modlist setup right now where it's crashing on launch?

[dire fractal]

Yes. It was working fine before I installed health bars. Honestly if it's recommended that I run SMAPI through steam direct and not vortex I'd be happy re-installing the mods that way (and probably reinstalling stardew to be safe). Just won't install the health bars mod.

[jagged marsh]

Yeah - Before we do that - If it's currently in the state where it's crashing on launch, can I have you do the following.

1. Open the start menu, search for Powershell, and launch Windows Powershell
2. Type or copy paste the following
   cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley" and hit Enter.

It should move Powershell to the Stardew Valley folder, then run the following.

.\StardewModdingAPI.exe

Then, if it closes on launch, take a screenshot of the Powershell window and post it here.

[gaunt sorrel]

Can anyone help me after they are done? 🙂

[dire fractal]

So now im getting a powershell error though im pretty sure thats cause stardew is installed on a hard drive and not in C drive.

[gaunt sorrel]

Honestly never mind. Some other time then

[jagged marsh]

Oh sorry, I assumed. You'll want to change the directory in the CD "Directory" step to your actual Stardew directory

Sorry Lsnce - I'm gonna crash and go to sleep after I help Shiro, it's 3 AM here.

[dire fractal]

I'm dumb af sorry. literally left out the cd part at the start of the command cause i just saw the "" and though "just copy that part". entered the correct address and followed. It loaded perfectly

also 3am? damn, thats some dedication. thank you for the help!

[jagged marsh]

Eh - I was playing FFXIV while helping you, but no worries.

Were you able to launch Stardew through Powershell, or did SMAPI start, then return to the Powershell window?

[dire fractal]

Its running in the powershell window, i didnt see smapi load in a seperate window

[jagged marsh]

Ok - Did Stardew itself launch?

[dire fractal]

yes

[jagged marsh]

Ok - Was this with the Health Bars mod in your mods folder?

[dire fractal]

no ive disabled it

[jagged marsh]

Ok - Go ahead and re-enable it then try to launch SMAPI from powershell - I want to see if it generates a useful message before it explodes

[dire fractal]

its enabled and running fine now

well, through powershell, yet to test running smapi on its own

[jagged marsh]

Well. That's very weird. Powershell's call is just launching SMAPI anyways.

Go ahead and try and just run SMAPI as normal

[dire fractal]

runs fine now

[jagged marsh]

Well, that's very weird considering we didn't actually do anything. At some point I'd recommend removing Vortex, but for now.

In the name of the computer tech awareness field, begone, computer gremlin!

Hopefully it continues to behave for you, I'm gonna crash for the night.

It doesn't look like its working

Well thanks for the help curing my pc gremlin problem. Have a good night! (morning? whatever!)

you gotta give it a minute, are you using chrome?

when you click "slow download", what happens? what do you see

[limber ferry]

this. nothing happens, its not downloading

the click here doesnt work either

[jade sequoia]

Have you double checked your downloads folder to be sure? Silly question

[limber ferry]

of course

nothing there

if it works for anyone else maybe post the zip in here? .-.;

[pallid summit]

we can't share the zip with you (it's mod piracy). you may need to disable certain extensions on your browser, if you have any

or maybe there's a security setting to allow downloads or permit certain blocked actions. maybe the browser is showing a warning that it blocked something on your behalf?

[limber ferry]

other ones have downloaded today so idgi. i feel like the site is being broken. when i select the other download option it just shows a loading wheel for a second then does nothing and keeps poping up the donate thing

ugh

i will see if my husband can download it for me i guess

[scarlet quail]

alternatively, attempt to download it using a different browser. That sometimes helps.

Do I have to delete all my mods and reapply them because of the update?

I'm not sure why most of them aren't working

[limber ferry]

alot of the mods arent updated or cant work with the latest update

[jolly pollen]

Check this mod out https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/21233 - there is a section in the options (it's disabled by default as classed as cheaty) under "Placing" section where it allows you to place items without collision - you'll need to test to see if it does overlapping the way you need it. If you couple this mod with Let's Move it https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20943 you can also pick things up and move them anywhere on screen, so out of bounds, on water, etc (this one has added protection to not overwrite other objects so please do check the options and any faq's)

Hi, I had to write this outside of discord bc no nitro, so there's gonna be a few messages relating to this that I'll copy and paste

Hello, I thought I'd post in here since I've been trying to fix this for a while, in case anyone had any thoughts on it. I will give as much information I can possibly think of.

I am having a stutter every time the clock changes and I am walking/the camera is moving. I've actually had 2 instances of this bug; the first time I was able to narrow it down to an Orangeblossom mod that was causing the problem and remove it, and the game worked very smoothly for about a year in-game. But this time, I have not reinstalled that mod or anything by Orangeblossom, and it is happening again. I'm even more confused this time, because I thought it would be a simple fix.. I had recently installed a couple new mods when I noticed the stutter again, so I simply removed them, but the problem continued anyway. I spent quite a bit of time going through my mods to try and find the problem, and a few times I thought I had pinpointed it by enabling and disabling mods and removing them, only for it to somehow start again after the removal. I was starting to suspect that maybe it wasn't a mod problem at all, but when I opened the game vanilla, there was no stutter. In addition to this, a few weeks ago I went over to a friend's house to install a modpack (different from the current one) on their computer so we could play together. At that time, I had no stuttering or any problems whatsoever, but installing the exact same modpack with the same configs on theirs made their computer stutter. I haven't been able to fix it for them yet either, I wanted to include that because that is giving me the impression that it is not mod-specific and might even be related to something external to the game.

More (potentially) relevant info: I use Casual Life, so the clock updates every second instead of every 7 seconds and causes the stutter more often. The first time I had this problem I disabled that mod and the stutter still happened, just only when the clock changed, which was less often. Also, I use quite a lot of mods (I think ~600?) but as mentioned before, this has happened with multiple different mod lists/counts and computers. I also have a pretty good gaming laptop that I've had no problem with for the vast majority of other games, and my friend also has an excellent gaming PC. I also use Stardrop for managing my mods.
Now onto some troubleshooting that I’ve already tried, but I might have forgotten a few other attempts as well.

[kind sonnet]

good point, i'll do that

[vast kelp]

I’ve tried:

Reinstalling the game
Verifying game files
Restarting my computer
Updating graphics driver
Reinstalling smapi
Making sure smapi/stardrop/mods are up to date
Editing graphics settings
Editing windows defender settings and making exceptions
Altering processor affinity
Altering process priority
Altering various settings in Nvidia Control Panel and Nvidia Geforce Experience, including disabling/reenabling vsync
Making sure the dedicated graphics card is used
Switching through fullscreen/windowed/borderless
Setting in-game audio sliders to 0
Unplugging controller and using mouse/keyboard
Reducing mod count
Deleting bigger mods
Using the lighter version of a few specific mods such as Diverse Stardew Valley
Disabling/reenabling integrated graphics card
Screaming into the void
Zooming in/out in-game
Checking refresh rate (I found that there is only one option and it is 60.03hz, I have never had issues with this)
Running stardew/smapi/stardrop as administrator

That’s all I can think of.. Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help me fix this. Here is my most recent log: https://smapi.io/log/18ec802dfb56433db3edd2811c7aa1b0#content
I have reinstalled all of the mods I was using and have been disabling.reenabling to show the full mod list I was using when and before the problem started. Oh and as far as I can tell, that polyamory sweet rooms error isn’t affecting anything, I did also try removing that though just in case, to no avail. Thanks again

From all users Max

[sly elm]

what usually causes this is a mod that updates every tick (that's the clock change).~~ you can try using the mod "profiler" to see if there's anything that takes particularly long with every change of the clock~~ i see you already did that

[timber frigate]

I'm sorry, what do you mean by all users. the other players? If I can't host, shouldn't the problem be on my side?

[oak forum]

If they can't connect to you id like all logs

Anytime it's multi-player give all logs please

[plush topaz]

That looks like Automate is the cause, taking a whooping 400ms per update tick.

How many chests do you have?

You can partially remedy the problem by reducing the update rate in Automate's config

[sly elm]

damn I should look at logs before I recommend stuff 😵‍💫

[timber frigate]

Will do. I just meant that they cant connect because I can't host. The other person isn't involved at that step

[sly elm]

meaning, you can't put the game in multiplayer mode on your end?

[plush topaz]

To add, try disabling PFMAutomate. I believe automate support has been folded into PFM and there are issues reported with PFMAutomate (though this would prevent your PFM-based machines from being automatable)

[timber frigate]

Yes, I cant find it in the "host" list

[scarlet quail]

I mean

Does it have any cabins?

[vast kelp]

oh np! ive had profiler for a while but ive had a hard time understanding most of the information it gives honestly 😅

[timber frigate]

...

It doesn't

[scarlet quail]

yeah then you can't host the file

no cabins, no multiplayer

[timber frigate]

I'll leave now

[scarlet quail]

That's why it's either created with cabins on start

or you create cabins in game and THEN invite

(You can create with cabins on start in the co-op menu)

[vast kelp]

ooh good point, I'll try editing that rn. thanks for the suggestion, i wasnt sure if that would be it because the first time i had the problem i didnt have automate
ill try disabling pfm automate too and get back to you:)

Testing it now, but I forgot to add that I also tried a new save and the stutter still occured

[sly elm]

HAHA I love when a problem has an easy solution, we're here for that too 😂 have fun playing!

[deep schooner]

I was ready to ask support on the mods folder not being accessible without root permission, so mod files not accessible by smapi, but i resolved with chmodding the entire Mods folder adding write permission for everyone, an elegant solution

Honestly, the fact that it doesn't say "you can't load this save because no cabins" is a Stardew issue (TM) - A usable warning/error message would have solved the issue.

So don't feel bad about missing something like this, there's a lot of small things that most folks will never notice or think about (Such as marriages requiring larger houses) unless they run into the use case where it just doesn't work. It wasn't your fault, and there's nothing to feel embarassed about.

[winged vessel]

that's a good point

[scarlet quail]

Oh, hi Myuu!

[winged vessel]

i'll def bring that up as a suggestion if it doesn't require too much translator work

https://smapi.io/log/066cb1c49e8445e19af95359d260e174 Anyone know what might be causing the NightTiles issue here? I just added Farmhouse Fixes and Attic for Farmhouse, but neither appear to have this on their map files anywhere

okay so i tried reducing the update rate to max (or min? 😅 i set it to 600), disabling pfm automate, and disabling automate altogether and no change unfortunately:(

[jagged marsh]

Yeah - Even just a "This save cannot be hosted in multiplayer because there are no cabins for farmhands (other players)" would go a long way in terms of usability..

i have 8 errors in smapi

[winged vessel]

Yeah! I like that idea a lot; pretty sure we already have the code paths to grey out a save that can't be loaded, so it should be simple (in theory)

I'll look into it!

[jagged marsh]

As we all know, "should be simple" and "is simple" are two entirely different things, but thanks for taking it into consideration.

[winged vessel]

Yeahhh... no guarantees haha, but that has bothered me about mp for a while too, so def worth looking into

[sly elm]

can you post a log where you took out automate and pfm automate so we can look at what profiler is saying?

[oak forum]

@timber frigate please dont DM me

I have it on my profile that I do not want DMs

[vast kelp]

oh sure!

[gaunt gust]

Any chance of better error messages for mismatched netcode

Even something simples as "invalid operation, expected X bytes, got Y bytes l"

[jagged marsh]

Alright - I'm not 100% sure I'll be useful (It looks like you're working on a steam deck, which means I'm unfamiliar with the underlying structure), but I can take a look.

Just to verify - Is the issue that the game is failing to start and instead closes out when it tries to launch?

[winged vessel]

That is tougher since the serialization is automagical

the places where it fails aren't easy to try catch

[sly elm]

hmm did you game stutter during that? cause the times profiler shows are pretty good

[gaunt gust]

Oh, I'm thinking of a specific error that is thrown that has no info whatsoever

Just invalidoperation

[gaunt gust]

When you say lag

Do you mean consistent low framerate

Ie, always 15-20

Or spiky (mostly 60, sometimes drops to 2, then recovers to 60)

[sly elm]

okay so: I saw your problem yesterday already, and since you're on steam deck, I am wondering whether this isn't due to mods, but maybe due to a set of custom controls that don't let you access the game

when you are testing if it works, are you testing in game mode, or in desktop mode?

[plush topaz]

I think Profiler only handles SMAPI events (by default), so if a mod's hammering the game's draw functions or smth it wouldn't be captured

[sly elm]

yeah but if it's through CP for example it just pins it on content patcher

[plush topaz]

hmm from the log CP is for some reason visibly affecting timechanged

so might actually be an overeagerly updating CP mod

[vast kelp]

mhm, every time the clock updated. basically every second that the camera is moving and the time passed it would freeze for a split second. or, well, maybe its better described by a screen tear? like, the textures would slightly shift and then go back to normal but because it updates every second its happening pretty much constantly
would it help for me to record my screen? im not great at visual descriptions 😅

[sly elm]

oh I know exactly what you mean

I'm intimately familiar with this problem myself :|

[timber frigate]

I'm sorry. It won't happen again

[sly elm]

I'm not exactly sure what could be causing this - I usually do a 50/50 approach with this, and use stardrop so I don't have to manually pull all mods out of the folder

[plush topaz]

this is a long shot, but can you follow these instructions to enable CP debug mode and post a new log? It'd slow your game even more (so make sure to disable it when done), but hopefully it'll show what's being updated every second
https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/troubleshooting.md#verbose-log

[vast kelp]

oh no, im sorry youre having that problem too in that case it sounds like a broader issue than i thought..:(

[vast kelp]

on it:)

[sly elm]

oh no it always was a particular mod!

but it's not easy to find, usually

[plush topaz]

Correction: enable verbose logging

[sly elm]

the orangeblossom windows for example gave me problems too, and it's because they updated every tick, which is a lot for a texture patch

[vast kelp]

ohhhh.. that makes sense. thanks for the info, that may help me narrow it down if/when i go through my mods again

[vast kelp]

so, would it be "VerboseLogging": ["Pathoschild.ContentPatcher"] ?

[gaunt gust]

CP does nothing every second

Fastest is time changed

Sorry, need to run off, but the usual next debugging step is have them run a directory search for TimeChanged

[plush topaz]

Just "VerboseLogging": true

[stark flame]

does anyone know if the cornucopia mods work on an old save file with SVE and RSV?

[plush topaz]

game version 1.6? Then yes

[stark flame]

okay thnk

[plush topaz]

In general most mods should be safe to install mid save. SVE is a major exception

[stark flame]

im adding more mods to my save file with SVE and RSV, any suggestions?

[plush topaz]

Better question for #modded-stardew

[stark flame]

oh okay thanks

[outer pawn]

Thank you

[vast kelp]

i tried "VerboseLogging": true, and smapi gave an error and wouldnt open the game, so I tried "VerboseLogging": [true], and nothing about the log changed
I tried [true] because of this section in the config right before the setting:
/**
* The logs for which to enable verbose logging, which may show a lot more information to
* simplify troubleshooting.
*
* The possible values are:
* - "*" for everything (not recommended);
* - "SMAPI" for messages from SMAPI itself;
* - mod IDs from their manifest.json files.
*
* For example: [ "SMAPI", "Pathoschild.ContentPatcher" ]
/
and the default before i changed it was just "VerboseLogging": []. Maybe it changed? Should I just do "" ?

[plush topaz]

Whoops my bad I was referencing outdated docs. Your initial post was fine

[vast kelp]

oh okay, np! ill try that now

[kind sonnet]

hey sorry, anyone know how to help here

[plush topaz]

nothing seems wrong with your game. you're on Steam Deck right? Is this in desktop mode or gaming mode?

[vast kelp]

for some reason it doesnt seem to be working? the log files look the same as always, am I missing something?

[plush topaz]

idk... post the log regardless?
if it doesn't work we can follow atra's advice and do a file search for TimeChanged in your mod folder

[vast kelp]

so it worked this time but it seems to have worked a lil too good, every time i try to upload it the website either refuses the log or my browser crashes because i dont have enough memory? 😅 ill take a look at it myself to see if anything stands out but i am not great at reading these

What kind of issue are you running into with the watering can?

Only conflict I see in the log is that you've got two different mods fighting for control of the greenhouse, so neither are being applied

[novel crater]

i holding it for about a minute and it refuses to charge up to do multiple tiles

[jagged marsh]

That might be Tool Power Select

Hold down the click, then scroll to switch between charge sizes

[novel crater]

thank you

that worked

[jagged marsh]

As for your other issue in the log, you've got Immersive Farm competing with Ellie's Greenhouse

If you want the Immersive one, remove Ellies, if you want Ellies, go to your configuration for Immersive Farm and set Disable_IF2R_Greenhouse

[novel crater]

ellies increases the size but what does immersive farms do do you know or

[jagged marsh]

It might differ from this (I pulled it from IF2 instead of IF2 Remastered), but

Well i was hoping to find someone to help me get the walk of life mod for 1.5 of Stardew/ Smapi 3

Or find a mod similiar to it I can use

[jagged marsh]

Ok, IF2:R has a totally different greenhouse interior

So if you want this one, remove Ellies, if you prefer Ellies, then just disable this via config

[jagged marsh]

Ok - I could be wrong since I just did some quick googling, but it looks like the 1.5 edition of Walk of Life was removed from Nexus when it got rolled into MARGO for 1.5.

The unfortunate thing is that MARGO for 1.5 was removed once 1.6 came out, so I don't think there's an equivalent right now unless I'm missing something.

As far as a replacement goes, I'd ask in #modded-stardew , they might have an idea what can replace it

Do you use PlatoTK?

In one of the bug threads, someone mentioned an incompatibility between it and Mobile Phone.

[hasty flume]

I would highly recommend looking into purchasing the game for yourself. It's relatively cheap, and with a legally obtained copy you'll be able to enjoy the 1.6 update. You'll also have an easier time getting help, as many people, myself included, don't troubleshoot pirated copies

[proven pewter]

yeah nearly a second for every season of more grass seems like... way too much

though also that's a really short log

I don’t wanna tinker and accidentally do something

[stone rover]

hi hi i was wondering if anyone here knows how to fix this error that i get upon launching my smapi game ^^ i've had this issue since the 1.6 update (i believe)...i have no issues going into the game files and opening the regular file, but if i go through steam or through the smapi game file i immediatly get this error...any help/suggestions are appreciated thank you ;-;

[spark pivot]

how did you install smapi?

and did you update it to latest version

[stone rover]

i installed it thru nexus and im not sure - how do i make sure it's updated??

[proven pewter]

I don't think it's necessarily related? it seems like a bunch of mods aren't installed correctly, which is causing the red text but shouldn't be affecting load times so dramatically.
do you know what your cpu/ram/disk specs are?

[spark pivot]

can just try reinstalling it

https://smapi.io

[manic fulcrum]

No not really care to explain? I’m not the most tech savvy person ha.

[gaunt gust]

Tbh your processor could be some guy with an abacus and I would still be surprised it was taking that long

How old is your computer.

[proven pewter]

finding out can be tricky to explain if you don't already know what those are, and I'm not sure the usefulness would outweigh the time it would take to explain.
How's this- in general, what kind of computer do you have, and how old is it?

also, how long did you wait for the game to launch the last time you launched it before uploading the log?

[jagged marsh]

Just wanted to make sure everything was ok - Were you able to reinstall SMAPI and get the error to go away?

[manic fulcrum]

well id be lying if i said i didnt know a little but not alot but i have a windows 10. and for how old it is im not sure of that myself

[manic fulcrum]

2 hours.

[stone rover]

yes!! i just got it to work thanks 🙂

[manic fulcrum]

2 hours and some minutes to be exact

i gave up at that point

[stone rover]

it is working again thank you!!!

[manic fulcrum]

it just suddenly started slowing down to that extrem level

[proven pewter]

okay something is definitely broken and the log is NOT showing it

[winged vessel]

Can you try this?

• On Windows, press the windows key + R to open the "Run" dialogue
• Type "dxdiag" (without quotes) into the box, and press "OK"
• Screenshot the screen that you see, called "System," (as well as any tabs labelled "Display" or "Display (Some Number)"). Make sure that the screenshot for the Display tab includes the notes section.

[proven pewter]

the log shows some slowdown but it only covers like 6 minutes going by timestamps

omg myuu hi

[winged vessel]

hello!!

[manic fulcrum]

It’s like the launch has these huge time gaps in it and my alternative textures loads each texture individually very slowly.

[manic fulcrum]

Ok!

[native dragon]

New command added! You can use it like !dxdiag.

[proven pewter]

oh smort

[manic fulcrum]

This right here?

[proven pewter]

no way in hell should that be so slow

though maybe your disk is dying?

says your graphics driver is 9 years old, so the computer is probably about that, right?

[manic fulcrum]

Yeah pherhaps

[manic fulcrum]

?

Elaborate

[proven pewter]

it might be slow due to physical degradation if it's a hard disk, or just wear and tear if its an ssd
that said, there are newer version of your graphics driver and it can't hurt to get one that's less out-of-date

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/65693/intel-core-i33220-processor-3m-cache-3-30-ghz/downloads.html

[manic fulcrum]

Oh there is? I had no idea lol

That might be the issue

[proven pewter]

yeah I posted a link for you

it may help, it may not, but it certainly can't hurt

[manic fulcrum]

Well I’ll test it and get back to u

Wait

Where do I put these downloads when I’m done

[winged vessel]

You'll run the installer

[proven pewter]

download only the first exe, and then run it

the browser will probably warn you about running downloaded files, but it is intel's website, so it's probably safe

[kind sonnet]

this is desktop mode yeah. but what's with the 8 smapi errors? whenever i launch with smapi via star drop its a huge issue. i launch the game, the mods don't load and i'm softlocked at the title screen

[plush topaz]

It looks like you put the stardrop folder inside Mods, which you shouldnt (only actual mods should go there)

As for softlocking, maybe the desktop isn't grabbing your focus correctly. Long shot but try tapping on the touchscreen?

[sly elm]

hah that's exactly what I was gonna suggest when I asked about this earlier 😆

[kind sonnet]

uhhh maybe. yeah i can move it out of there. no matter what i seem to do the mods won't launch, but i'll troubleshoot

i can try the touchscreen but the cursor just completely freezes. moving the star drop folder is a good place to start though 🥲

[gaunt gust]

Moving stardrop out is a good call

I wonder if somehow you've managed a symlink loop

[kind sonnet]

yeah, cuz it worked fine one time and it booted with my sakura interface, but then the other times it refused to launch correctly

[manic fulcrum]

I successfully ran and reset it now what are the next steps?

[proven pewter]

try launching again and see if it's still slow

[kind sonnet]

nope, touch screen isn't working >_>

the only button that works is the power button to forcibly shut it down :/

here's a video

[gaunt gust]

Did you also remove the Stardrop Installed Mods folder?

[kind sonnet]

yes

[sly elm]

(does the game work in game mode?)

[kind sonnet]

it only runs when its not smapi :/

[sly elm]

ah

then it'll run in game mode too without mods

[kind sonnet]

i try to launch the linux stardewvalley file but it can't in game mode or desktop mode for some reason

the game works completely fine but the mods refuse to work now. what's a symlink loop?

its so weird that it just completely freezes, the mods don't launch and i have to hard reset

[plush topaz]

no other buttons work? Not the touch pads, or the on screen keyboard shortcut?

[kind sonnet]

nope. check the video, that's what its like in desktop mode

[gaunt gust]

So, symlinks

What you need to know is that a symlink is kinda like a shortcut

And the smapi follows them

And that stardrop makes them

A symlink loop is what happens when you have a bunch of symlink pointed in a circle

If you're blindly following them you just go into the loop and never leave

This looks like a stall

[kind sonnet]

hm...yeah and my mods don't even launch

i don't know what happened, i thought i did everything right

[gaunt gust]

My guess is having stardrop in the mods folder

[kind sonnet]

star drop is so much different than moddrop which is windows only

[gaunt gust]

Is creating a loop somewhere

I would remove all mods first

[kind sonnet]

k, i can do that

oh damn the stardrop installed mods is still there. its an empty folder

[manic fulcrum]

How long would “slow” be exactly

[kind sonnet]

alright i launched without mods, and it froze...maybe i'm launching from the wrong folder o_o

[proven pewter]

more than 5 minutes

[kind sonnet]

i put stardew on my sd card

[manic fulcrum]

It’s loading a lot faster but I also see an error that says galaxy auth failure is there any reason or concern for this?

[sly elm]

hrm, in general putting it on an sd card shouldn't be a problem - but it can be one if the sd card has low reading speeds

[manic fulcrum]

IT LODED OMG

AJAHAHYTATATAYYAYYAY

[pallid summit]

no, that's harmless

(i guess it's not harmless if you want to do multiplayer. but the game will work)

[proven pewter]

that's normal. just happens when you run stardew without being signed into GOG galaxy

all it means is if you aren't running it through steam, you won't be able to use coop codes

(or collect achievements)

[kind sonnet]

hm. well it worked fine once. i got the samsung evo which was recommended for steam deck

[manic fulcrum]

That download of that exe was all it took

My games running like it should

Thanks a lot!!

[kind sonnet]

i think i just need to launch it from the right place and not the ssd

hopefully...

[proven pewter]

of course! I'm glad that's all it needed

[kind sonnet]

something's up with the smapi launcher i think :/ maybe i could move the files to ssd

i accidentally launched it twice and it was chaotic o_o

[plush topaz]

dang, wish I could help more as a fellow steam deck user lol. FWIW I only set up mods in desktop mode and boot straight back to game mode to actually play; I don't play in desktop mode (though I think you mentioned it not working in both?)

[kind sonnet]

yeah...

i was trying to launch the smapi file as non steam but its just...augh i don't know what happened

[gaunt sorrel]

yup, not at all like the game crashing problems I keep seeing on posts

my game doesn't crash but when they try to add a room its just an open space

empty and I can even go out of bounds haha

[jade sequoia]

Hmm I’m unfortunately not too familiar with the mod so someone else may need to assist here. Are you using a custom farm house?

[gaunt sorrel]

nope 🙂

so I'm on 2.0.1 which just uses the vanilla farmhouse. not 2.0.3 the latest update

anybody here that can help me with polyamory sweet?

Up to you. Personally speaking I'm probably going to have to mix-and-match myself

I forgot about free love wowza

[gaunt sorrel]

I'll try it out

[gaunt sorrel]

so about the spouse rooms/patios

[scarlet quail]

The spouse rooms has a continuation on Nexus

[runic owl]

Howdy

[scarlet quail]

As for Spouse Patios, CSPR has an unofficial, but I'd personally recommend SinZ's Several Spouse Spots

Howdy, Cerulean!

[runic owl]

Sup

[scarlet quail]

Not much, just finished updating most of my mods. How about you?

[runic owl]

Being sad.

0/10 do not recommend.

[gaunt sorrel]

lemme try running it

and see if there are any error logs

[scarlet quail]

You'll have to build them from Robin, but Several Spouse Spots even works with Multiplayer

[runic owl]

Huh that's new to me.

[gaunt sorrel]

checking it out

all i see rn are the usual, there are updattes available haha

okay, so I have sebastion and alex

and I only had seb's room. now its empty hahah

[scarlet quail]

that doesn't sound right at all, as I can vouch for all of the non-Bed Tweaks updates

(Bed Tweaks unfortunately I usually use PolySweet's since the others... don't like to work. Or throw JIT compiler errors)

[gaunt sorrel]

oki from these ones

free love I never had a problem with

the multiple spouse spots seems to be working fine with robin

[scarlet quail]

(Please give your log instead of describing, Lsnce)

[gaunt sorrel]

she has the option to place it

[gaunt sorrel]

oh well okay, but it'll just suggest to update again haha. wait a sec

[runic owl]

Unrelated while I'm looking at updateable mods in Stardrop it's telling me that someone named Riley has a house and it is no longer compatible with anything. I have no idea who Riley is. Or where to find this npc in my mods lol.

It's like "where's waldo" but you don't know who Waldo even is.

hopefully

[scarlet quail]

no errors in the log at least. Everything working right?

[gaunt sorrel]

yup so far

running it with the last mod bed tweaks rn

btw for the multiple rooms, where do I customize. robin too? can't seem to find multiple rooms in the gen mod config menu i have

[scarlet quail]

Nah, the rooms will automatically be added on

you can edit the config manually to swap the order if you want that

...unless you mean placing it in other parts of the house, in which case I have no opinions because I don't use those features

[gaunt sorrel]

oh I don't know how to swap manually sksks

[scarlet quail]

open up the config in a text editor

the config's in the mod folder itself

it'll say something like "Sebastian,Alex" in room order, so you'd just make it "Alex,Sebastian" to swap them

[gaunt sorrel]

oh gotcha, I'll probably check it out once there are more rooms

so far it's what it says in the nexus mod site description

but what about 'With it, you can customize where a specific character's spouse room is shown, what walls surround it, and where a spouse will stand inside of it."

[scarlet quail]

that's what I mean by this

those are advanced features I don't want to mess with personally so I have no idea how to use

Much simpler for me to have my spouse hall

[gaunt sorrel]

oh yes I was just inquiring. no intention of doing it. thank you very much

[plucky jackal]

Hello everyone, I am very new to modding SV and I have a question. I have vortex set up to have different mod profiles for SMAPI so that I can simply load and unload the mods I want or don't want for a specific session, however, I have noticed that no matter what profile I play on, I will still be able to see and load into my vanilla characters or different modded characters. My question is, would it be possible for me to have SMAPI use different directories to save characters to so that when I am on modded SV there is no risk of me accidentally loading into a vanilla profile and potentially corrupting my saves?

[scarlet quail]

Nope

Saves are all in one directory - the appdata folder - and stay that way, sadly

....Also just a friendly bit of advice:

!vortex

[native dragon]

Vortex isn't recommended for Stardew Valley.

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

Some options:

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

(See also the Nexus App feedback thread, if you want to help Nexus avoid the same issues in their upcoming replacement for Vortex.)

To use this command, type !vortex.

[plucky jackal]

Okay. Thank you for the information and the advice. I will go ahead and make the switch.

[kind sonnet]

i think something's up with star drop or something. this is very frustrating, it keeps soft locking

i keep accidentally launching and having to reset too

[kind sonnet]

wait is smapi not supposed to be in the game folder. crap

dude 😭

[jagged marsh]

Yes it is - once installed, SMAPIs files are added to the Stardew Valley folder alongside the actual game

[kind sonnet]

oh uh

"Download the latest Linux version of SMAPI.
Extract the .zip file somewhere (but not in your game folder!)" what does this mean then?

i'm so confused, i keep reinstalling just to try to get these mods to work :/

[jagged marsh]

Don't put the initial download of the zip in your game folder

Unzip it and run the installer, and it'll copy the files into the game folder

[kind sonnet]

ohh. yeah i figured. i ran the installer once, i'm wondering if i messed up some files...

cuz smapi runs like it should but my game just freezes upon trying to run mods. it says to launch the game like normal but mods never load

hey its working! reinstalling smapi worked.

i know its working now cuz i launched like normal and its running with mods

[jagged marsh]

Congrats! I'm glad they finally found a solution that worked for you. Enjoy your Stardew.

[dense beacon]

anyone know where i can find her LOL cant find her anywhere

[jade sequoia]

Lantana: Non-Datable NPC, runs a small shop in Lantana Lagoon, which sells items for this mod.
Lantana Lagoon: A small area accessible via Minecarts, once the Minecart system ahs been opened.

From the nexus page

I think that’s from polyamory sweet

If not forget what I said

lol

[dense beacon]

dang

[azure bison]

Okeay thank you

[jade sequoia]

Yw

[jade sequoia]

Damn that does suck I’m sorry

[jagged marsh]

For what it's worth, you can do debug completequest 9 in console, which should be the quest ID for the Introductions quest

So, meet everyone else, fulfill the basic terms of the quest, then just 'complete' it since you did the work anyways.

[bleak adder]

Can anyone help me with the quests in SVE? I managed to get my game modded on Android somehow (which means I'm still on 1.5, of course), and, as far as I can see, I have all of the proper support files, but none of the major SVE quests are working (Grandpa's shed, the railroad Boulder, etc.) I managed to fake my way past the railroad quest with the inject mail command I found on Reddit somewhere (nothing else worked), but I can't find a similar command for the other quests that are stuck (currently the farm expansion and Grandpa's shed).

Debug eventseen is not working in either instance.

[young oracle]

How did you mod it

[bleak adder]

Found an app that let me into my data folder. Or are you asking what mods?

The app was Shizuku if anyone else wants to try it.

[young oracle]

I did try shizuku and zarchiver but the mods i added never worked

[bleak adder]

Huh. I didn't use zarchiver. I used FV file explorer I think, it's on my tablet and I can't see it atm. I basically followed a tutorial on YouTube for Android 14

It was a giant pain though ngl 😅

[young oracle]

Yeah i can see that

How long did it take you

[bleak adder]

Few hours to figure it all out I think? Lemme see if I can hunt down the tutorial

Am I allowed to share the link here? If not just Google "how to access data folder on Android 14" and there's a YouTube tutorial by Munchy

It says in my log that SVE isn't compatible but it is all working fine except those quests. Idk if it's buggy because it's technically an old version? I did download the proper file for legacy versions (1.5)

[jagged marsh]

If you're talking about this one: 03:27:09 ERROR game An error occurred in the base update loop: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.It's an issue with Binning Skill. Seems to be a fairly uncommon occurence, ultimately harmless, but there's an edge case they apparently missed

Is it causing actual issues in your game?

[dire fractal]

Not that I've noticed. I reloaded the day and haven't gotten it again. Just couldn't figure out what was causing it since it listed multiple mods in the error log.

Thank you, guessing I should just ignore it if it doens't ruin anything.

[jagged marsh]

Yeah - doesn't seem to be causing issues from what I saw on Nexus, it's an issue with the Harmony patch where they missed a null case inside the mod. I suspect the only issue you'll have is that the trashcan will give you nothing, which is what you would likely get anyways

[azure bison]

Is there a mod w autofishing

[sacred remnant]

#modded-stardew for those questions

[azure bison]

Oh

My bad

Thanks

[low crater]

i've been modding my game for a while now and recently started doing that using the stardrop mod manager. i tried to download a simple Content Patcher Mod but I keep getting an error saying something like "manifest.json" not found. I tried a different Content Patcher mod. and same error.

[sacred remnant]

Is stardrop or smapi giving you that error

[low crater]

both

smapi said "its not a smapi mod" but likely because it doesnt follow the template for smapi mods (aka missing that said file)

[sacred remnant]

Huh , which mods are these?

Did you install them using stardrop?

[low crater]

so in total its 4. 2 of them were just harvey portrait mods, and 2 were new portraits for every single character, its 2 because i downloaded vanilla and SVE version. the vanilla version worked fine, no errors, SVE same manifest.json error. Both harvey mods also gave me the error and one of them i tried to install manually but no luck still

[sacred remnant]

Sometimes portraits for non-vanilla characters arent content patcher mods, and instead have you replace the image files

Can you link the mods that had missing manifests

[native dragon]

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

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

To use this command, type !xnbzola.

[low crater]

huh

[sacred remnant]

Well, theres one of the problems

[low crater]

whats an xnb mod

[sacred remnant]

That first one is not content patcher, its just loose image files

The refined portraits are straight up xnb mods

Though nyapus shouldnt have had a problem i think?

Oh yeah, nyapus is an overwriting one too

So none of those are content patcher mods

You should read the descriptions on mod pages and on the file downloads themselves for instructions on how to install them correctly

As for the xnb mods, i would recommend finding some other portraits unless you want to convert them to content patcher yourself

[sacred remnant]

SVE if i remember correctly had a specific patch to work on android, which you get from their discord

The SVE discord may also be of better help with these issues

[bleak adder]

Oooh I didn't realize there was an SVE specific discord 😅

Thank you!

[low crater]

ah

how come the vanilla one worked?

[sacred remnant]

Bwcause the vanilla one IS a content patcher one

[low crater]

ah welp

i dont feel confident enough to replace anything

ill burn things down

[compact verge]

If it helps, image files would not burn things down.

Also, Nyapu's at least makes their file structure in such a way that you'd just need to copy the folder and replace. (Also has visual guide on its main page).

[proud anvil]

Is the requirement for sve 1.6, just this?

[oak forum]

Yes

Only files in requirements are what is required

[proud anvil]

Ok ty

[cold prawn]

why does sampi say that this mod is an empty folder https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11389

[restive cypress]

1. Last updated 20 March 2022
2. Use this instead https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/25539

[cold prawn]

is there a way to make the first one work at all? i like the first one a bit more

[spark pivot]

Hm the seasonal Haley doesn't have a manifest

[restive cypress]

After reading the mod in more depth it completes the set for the latest version of Seasonal Cuter Aesthetic.
For the original mod you can either use the content patcher version (EDIT: Which will be NON-Seasonal) and place it into your mods folder or use the image replacer version (For the Seasonal Portraits)

[spark pivot]

Description indicate that you are meant to put it inside seasonal cuter aesthetic

[cold prawn]

really?

ok then

i have another mod for other npcs so ill try that

[spark pivot]

Please read the steps provided by the mod author in detail

[prime bronze]

I tried downloading Content Patcher, but whenever it appears in my game files it’s a DDL file instead of a zip file. Anyone know what I should do?

[cold prawn]

alright i did that but it seems only some of the sprites replaced the other mod

any fesival sprites didnt take priority

all daily sprites did

[spark pivot]

Double check if the flower dance/spirit eve sprites from sca were replaced

[cold prawn]

like winter summer

ect

both spirits eve and flower dance werent replaced

[spark pivot]

Yeah gotta do that

In the mod files I mean

[cold prawn]

alright

ill go through and replace the ones that werent replaced

[prime bronze]

Bump

[spark pivot]

Content patcher is a C# mod with a dll yes

You put it in the Mods/ContentPatcher directory

How did you download it?

[prime bronze]

I downloaded it via Vortex

I try to open it with winrar it says the file is corrupted or damaged and can’t be opened

[spark pivot]

Ah no pls use smapi.io

https://smapi.io/

Wait no this is content patcher ignore me

Can you try manual download?

[proud anvil]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8824/?tab=files&category=archived
does anyone have the old file version 1.0.0

[sacred remnant]

is there something wrong with the newer version?

or you need it for 1.5

[proud anvil]

I wanna play in sdv 1.5.6

[sacred remnant]

well, looks like you've already asked the author to make ver 1 available again so not much to do but wait for a reply

[ruby relic]

Would anyone be able to help me add a modded item to a shop?

I currently use sophias ledger as my primary shop. Ive added a whole bunch of vanilla things to her shop for QOL in my playthrough, but ive never added a modded item, especially one from a different mod

[proud anvil]

Yeah, I talked to the author but he didn't reply.

[pallid summit]

sure, you do it the same as any other item, but you use the modded item's ID

[ruby relic]

Im not sure if im just not finding the ID correctly; i did list_items in console, and I input that ID into the ledger where its supposed to go, but it returns error item.

[pallid summit]

(you can get that from its data files)
and assuming you're adding them via content patcher, you probably want to put When conditions on your patches to check whether the appropriate mod is installed (although if it's just for you, you can skip that, since you know you'll have it)

[proud anvil]

How to create your own id?

[pallid summit]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Common_data_field_types#Unique_string_ID follow this guideline, but aside from the unique prefix you pick whatever you want

[pallid summit]

i think we should move this to #making-mods-general, which is more suitable

[proud anvil]

Quality Bobber": {
"Id": "MAMAXDV3_Quality_Bobber",
"ItemId": "(O)887"
}
Like this?

Any mod for switch?

[oak forum]

!consolemodding

[native dragon]

Xbox and Playstation consoles cannot run Stardew mods. The Nintendo Switch has very limited, unofficial modding capability in the form of XNB mods only. However, this requires jailbreaking your Switch, something which can only be done on select models and can run the risk of bricking your console.

To use this command, type !consolemodding.

[oak forum]

!switchmodding

[native dragon]

Modding on the Nintendo Switch is technically possible in a very limited capacity, but it requires jailbreaking your Switch, which is only possible on select models or by physically altering the hardware of your Switch, and can run the risk of bricking your console and/or being banned by Nintendo. Only visual texture and dialogue replacer XNB mods can be installed. Due to these limitations, we do not provide guides on how to mod the Switch and it is up to the individual if they want to take these risks.

To use this command, type !switchmodding.

[true hare]

I jailbreak my switch

[oak forum]

We provide no support for this

[vital solar]

I updated everything

Content patcher to latest version for Android

And updated custom kisses mod

What did I do wrong

[tiny ridge]

i really hope this is the right channel for this, but i have a friend who absolutely cannot manage to get mods to download, admittedly it's a patience issue on their part, but like. i can't really blame them its very frustrating.

my question is does anyone know if the steam save cloud will save any mods across two different computers? i live too far away to go to their house and take care of it. can't find any resources telling me one way or another.

[vital solar]

Did I do anything wrong?

Or is this just a android/smapi issue

[prime bronze]

This is what shows up

[modest grail]

Double check that you don't have a firewall active (Windows Defender or Avast, for example) while downloading the mod file.

[oak forum]

No it's not going to save mods

Your mods aren't in your saves

[tiny ridge]

okay the Willy mod looks like a compatibility issue, I'm not exactly new but most of my experience is outdated by about 7 years. i have no idea about custom kissing though

[tiny ridge]

i was pretty sure that was the answer, unfortunate but thank you anyways

[prime bronze]

It still says the same thing when I turn the firewall off in settings

[oak forum]

The willy mod is definitely a complicity issue

[vital solar]

Trying to update it

[oak forum]

2.0.0 is for 1.6

[vital solar]

Update soon

[modest grail]

are you trying to open the DLL? You don't need to open the DLL just move the whole folder to the Mods folder.

[oak forum]

Modded android doesn't even work on 1.5

So that mods not going to work for android

[prime bronze]

It’s there, but don’t I have to unzip it?

[modest grail]

You unzip the ZIP file, not the DLL

[prime bronze]

There’s no zip file

[modest grail]

please show me exactly what you downloaded for Content Patcher.

Screenshot or the download link works.

[prime bronze]

This is the Mods folder

I used Nexusmods and Vortex

[modest grail]

Try re-adding Content Patcher manually and bypassing Vortex for this. It can sometimes take a nibble out of files.

[prime bronze]

How do I bypass Vortex?

[modest grail]

Use the Manual Download option for Content Patcher on the NexusMods site, which should get you a ZIP file

Extract that ZIP file, and move the folder it gives you to the Mods folder, AFTER removing the Content Patcher folder that is already in the Mods folder.

[prime bronze]

So delete the content patcher from the Mods folder and move the new one there?

[modest grail]

yep!

Overwriting the files can cause weird issues so you're better off completely removing the old mod file (though you can move your config.json to the new mod folder if you're ever using a mod that's relevant)

[prime bronze]

How do I unzip it?

Oh wait

Nvm I think I got it

[modest grail]

You can either use the Extract All option from File Explorer or use WinRAR, since you have WinRar according to your screenshot. 🙂

[prime bronze]

I think I got it

I’ll test it with a UI mod and let you know if it worked

It worked! Thanks so much!

[modest grail]

Awesome!

[neat plaza]

sounds like it's already jailbroken

!addswitchmods

[native dragon]

If you have a modified Nintendo Switch running custom firmware, there are some limited options for you to use mods.

Option 1:

1. Install Ubuntu
2. Get 1.5.4 Stardew Valley via DepotDownloader.
3. Follow the this guide.
4. Install SMAPI (version 3.12.8)
5. Run it via mono StardewModdingAPI
6. You can use most 1.5.4 mods, but some won't work (such as Custom Music)
   Option 2
7. Place XNB mods in sdmc:/atmosphere/contents/0100E65002BB8000/romfs/Content/, as if this was your game's content folder (as in .../romfs/Content/Characters/Caroline.xnb)
8. This limits you to XNB mods and outside of simple retextures will largely break by 1.6. See here for details.
   Option 3
   Basically the same as Option 2, but with a mod manager for easier management.
9. Install iridium https://github.com/AnotherPillow/Iridium, instructions in the README.
10. Place your XNB mods in sdmc:/switch/Iridium/Mods/[MOD NAME]/ as if this folder was the Content folder of the game.
11. Same restrictions and issues as Option 2, but you can turn mods off and on and know what mods are controlling which files.

To use this command, type !addswitchmods.

[ruby relic]

huh

so apparently this mod i use is broken

and the crops give 9000 when harvested

😂

[oak forum]

Ope thanks Pillow!

[stark flame]

Does anyone know if installing VMV and East scarp are safe to install on an old save file?

[rare flame]

eeemmmm, i dont get my mods to work, im on curseforge

[neat plaza]

don't

[stark flame]

dont to me or catin lord?

[neat plaza]

catin lord

[stark flame]

okay

[sudden summit]

theyre safe but your save file might have strange things happen like events popping up immediately or random things in random places

[stark flame]

how would that effect the game?

[sudden summit]

it wont! like i said your save is perfectly safe, its just your experience and how youd like to play

[stark flame]

so its all visual then?

[sudden summit]

you may need a few additional mods to get rid of things placed weirdly but

[stark flame]

like a cheat mod or something more specific?

[dire fractal]

How do I find stardew valley on my files

I got this thing

[stark flame]

do you need to find stardew or give the directory to SMAPI?

[neat plaza]

!findmodsfolder

[native dragon]

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.

To use this command, type !findmodsfolder.

[stark flame]

oh thats convenient

[sudden summit]

i mean .. for east scarp specifically one of the requirements is destroyable bushes / reset terrain features

[stark flame]

oh okay

ill just give it a shot and come back if anything goes wrong lol

[dire fractal]

Give directory to snapi

[dire fractal]

Which one is it

🙁

Can u type it in so I copy paste

Which one is right

[neat plaza]

I do not have control over your machine

follow the instructions to open the directory

[tough patio]

If you can get to the folder through explorer, right click the pathway in the window and you should be able to copy the path name.

[sinful harbor]

smapi is skipping a bunch of my mods and im not sure how to fix it.

some of my mods also wont update and i alreaddy know about the broken mods

also sorry about my typing keyboard is still screwed

should i just nuke my mods folder ??

[jolly pollen]

SMAPI errors seem to complain about textures missing from the Cottagecore Furniture Pack by 8BitAlien (though it doesn't necessarily mean it's the root cause) but you can start by removing and reinstalling that mod to start with and see if it helps - by then someone more experienced might pop by and see if there is anything else in the log that could help

[slow monolith]

ty

the red text is gone but the textures for the craftables are still broken

[jolly pollen]

Is it overlapping Bog's with Vanilla texture or some other texture - do you have a screenshot if you are not sure?

[slow monolith]

yes

theirs and vanilla

[jolly pollen]

Hmm, not sure, I cannot see anything obvious (but my knowledge is limited) the only other thing I'd recommend is getting rid the three mods that are marked as deprecated (Multi Yield Crops, Prismatic Tools and Shop Tile Framework) - they don't work for the 1.6 game version

[slow monolith]

ok will do

still broken

[elder sundial]

anyone knows how to fix that?

[slow monolith]

pc ?

yep

i also cant update 4 mods they just seem to stay at the same version

[jolly pollen]

That's usually because the authors miss updating the manifest number - it is likely already in the right version

(it happens from time to time)

[slow monolith]

ok 😄

[sudden summit]

please dont dm me, follow the instructions from governer above. he tells you what to do.

[jolly pollen]

For example Star Amy's mod has version as 1.0.1 for the Alternative Texture part, so it keeps thinking it's out of date - but actually it's totally fine 🙂

[slow monolith]

ok ty

[sudden summit]

give me a minute to look over your log

[slow monolith]

try confirming the integrity of your game

it says assets are missing

thats whats happening to my textures

wait are you using steam ?

[sudden summit]

thats lookup anythings assets, validating the files wont help

[slow monolith]

ah

[slow monolith]

are you using steam or something else

[elder sundial]

something else

[slow monolith]

ok cause i think its that thats causing it

[sudden summit]

redownload lookup anything. im not sure what "my mod 111" is but that also needs to be redownloaded

[sudden summit]

its not

[slow monolith]

galaxy is gog's api

[sudden summit]

you can use things other than steam to run and mod the game perfectly fine

[elder sundial]

what that means

[neat plaza]

it's steam's app but for gog

but by the looks of it you just used the installer so you wouldn't have galaxy

[elder sundial]

okok

[slow monolith]

from smapi's nexus page

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2400?tab=posts&BH=0

[jolly pollen]

One last idea - can you check if Vibrant Pastoral Recolor mod options have anything about disabling their craftables? It looks like it includes them by default possibly

[slow monolith]

ok will try now

yup it was vpr

they have a big craftables option

[jolly pollen]

Ah nice! I use Earthy myself and that does not include craftables so I didn't think about the recolor at first - glad that worked though

[slow monolith]

Hi etiquette for support is to not interrupt someone

It causes confusion for the person requesting support

[slow monolith]

ok sorry i was just trying to help

[oak forum]

I understand but if you're in the position of requesting help and 3 or 4 people are replying with different instructions it can be very overwhelming and stressful 🙏💜

[slow monolith]

ok ignore me then

i was trying to say smapi has issues with gog

[vast kelp]

hey just wanted to say thanks for everyones help yesterday, with the verbose log sylph walked me through i was able to find the specific mods and fix it pretty quickly!:) it was mostly dusty overhaul and i think also a dynamic window mod like pokky mentioned💕 yall rock!

[devout dock]

SMAPI is having issues loading with CurseForge. I updated a mod and I restarted it; but its still not going. Ill let you know if it starts or not!

[neat plaza]

don't use curseforge

[devout dock]

Why not? I havent had any problems with it before

[neat plaza]

!modmanagerbugs

[native dragon]

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

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

To use this command, type !modmanagerbugs.

[neat plaza]

also as a site for sdv it's just not very good

[viral ocean]

ok so this is a weird question (maybe) but are some mods only needed by the host I.e no friendship decay? im running SMAPI with a few mods (UI info suite 2, some cosmetic mods and no friendship decay) and my friend whos playing vanilla doesnt have any issues joining my game so does it work or does it automatically disable mods?

[devout dock]

Understood. I still will use Curseforge even though you said that because Im too lazy to switch

[neat plaza]

alright, I don't critque your limited mod choices

[sage pawn]

https://i.imgur.com/zYUaRMF.png can anyone tell me what mod adds this?

[stark flame]

does anyone know why i have 21 folders in my mods folder but stardew says im running 42 mods?

[neat plaza]

some mods have multiple parts that register separately

sve, for example is 3 mods

[stark flame]

oh okay

but still only one folder?

[viral ocean]

yea

[stark flame]

okay thanks yall

[oak forum]

Try #modded-stardew

Or provide a log

!mpmods

[native dragon]

You can mod your multiplayer games, but to avoid any hiccups, all players' mod lists need to match. If players have too many mismatched mods, you will experience bugs in your game - even if the mods were working fine earlier, there is no guarantee that they will stay that way, and strange things may start occurring.

There are a few exceptions to this - cosmetic mods usually work fine with no glitches, and some C# mods work as well. The main mod page often includes information on whether or not they work in multiplayer. However, in general, your mod lists should match exactly.

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

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

To use this command, type !mpmods.

Probably one of wildflours

[viral ocean]

that doesnt really help

[oak forum]

The answer is match mods

Always

[sage pawn]

That was my thought, but usually it'll say. I'll poke around, thank you!

[oak forum]

Multiplayer modded = match the mods

[viral ocean]

friend refuses to mod stardew valley because the first game hes every modded was fallout NV so he thinks all games modding are like that

[oak forum]

Then play vanilla with him

[viral ocean]

i cannot

ui suite too important

[oak forum]

Then good luck

The answer is match or have problems

[gaunt gust]

There are some mods you can get away with not matching

Fairly limited but ui info suite and no friendship decay are among them

[viral ocean]

thank you for answering my question

[plush topaz]

Yet Another Cooking Skill IIRC

You can enable debug fields in Lookup Anything to show the full ID, which is a pretty good indicator for what mod it's from

[sage pawn]

ooh that's very helpful, thank you!

[tough halo]

CP Textures aren't showing up for my craftables but working for furniture, started a few days ago but works has kept me busy and forgetting to ask for help. Also, updated farm type manager today and now have a plethora of lines from it in smapi, not sure if thats an issue or not.

If you look at the red errors in your log, you've got a few mods that either need fixing or removing.
PyTK is there twice (PyTK Dummy and PyTK Lite) so you should only have one. SAAT, Extra Map Layers and possibly ShopTileFramework are deprecated and can be removed entirely.
And there are a few more listed in there that just need 1.6 versions installed (they may show up as 'alpha' in the other files), or need to be removed because they won't run in 1.6

[dire fractal]

Hi I'm look for some help to download SMAPI on my windows and once I reach to the point of installing the mod it reads " Oops, we couldn't find the game automatically. Type file path to game directory ( the one containing ' Stardew Valley. ddl '). Im not sure where to find the path and every tutorial I have found doesn't seem to help.

[neat plaza]

enter the path then

[scarlet quail]

ME >-<, do you still need help?

[sweet palm]

I removed RSV and I was throwing away all of the error signs but I can't cancel any of the broken quests. I'm worried if I sleep it might be permanently broken
