it just tells me it cannot be found, and yes, i am

[restive zodiac]

When you moved the installer folder out of the zip, you should end up with a whole SMAPI 3.2.0 installer folder, right? Can you run the install on windows.bat (you may not see the .bat if you have extensions hidden) and take a screenshot of what happens if there's an error?

[velvet schooner]

okay i hadn't realised i was supposed to move the whole folder-

i thought i just had to move the installer

okay i got it now, thank you

[dire fractal]

... hold on, how long have I had this mod...? maybe that's the issue...?

I honestly don't remember having that mod at all, but... hopefully that's why the mini-jukebox is invisible

... huh. Weird

so looking at my error log... the last blob of red text from when I got the mini-jukebox is due to... mega storage

nope, that did nothing

[restive zodiac]

Rose, if you post your log with a patch summary we can try to look at it ! It's hard to guess from just the comments you make 😄

[plucky field]

rose livebloggin their troubleshootin

[strange vine]

haha it's entertaining at least

[dire fractal]

yeah, I know... but I'm gonna try one other thing. If this Stardust core update that I forgot to use so Stardust is fixed doesn't solve it, I'll throw my log into the void

[plucky field]

i feel like at this point opening a log gives me a dopamine hit or something cos now im just sitting on my hands hoping ull post one

[dire fractal]

ok, lemme hit you with that dopamine

https://smapi.io/log/f23307d5f52f490f8c53ba5db4be19fb

note: I did re-install mods once I ruled them out as "the issue"

damn it. PokeCrows again

thanks Mouse

[restive zodiac]

Hope that fixes it!

[dire fractal]

YAY!

Thanks Mouse, it's good now!

[high crag]

I just had a crash when beginning Summer 1 on a new game. I'm thinking it might be a clash between NPCMapLocationsSVE and StardewValleyExpanded

Here's my log: https://smapi.io/log/e4d04a06a0584ddeb9325e1ee2abd66a

[naive drum]

you have an outdated NPC Map Locations, please update

[restive zodiac]

@high crag If this file exists, delete it : [TMX] Stardew Valley Expanded Locations/assets/spring_outdoorsTileSheet.png

[naive drum]

Also, tilesheet error

which Mouse explained well

[restive zodiac]

I've no idea where this one came from. I had thought it must be an old version that was briefly up and fixed, but when I asked Flash about a different bug and mentioned it, he hadn't even realized it happened, so I don't know when it was included by mistake, only that it started happening a lot recently.

Or

[high crag]

It's the latest version of NPC Map Locations, which is odd

[naive drum]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/239

[restive zodiac]

I do remember it happening a really long time ago, I wonder if the people that have had it in the same folder since then just never got the error until the map update to SMAPI/PyTK happened

[naive drum]

nope, you have NPC Map Locations 2.4.2 and the most recent is 2.5.2

[high crag]

I do have that file, @restive zodiac

[naive drum]

An entire middle version up

[high crag]

Ah, I see

[naive drum]

Yeah you gotta delete it

the file Mouse told you about, it needs to go, it was included at some point by mistake and never left

[high crag]

Deleted. Thanks so much! 🙂

[subtle nebula]

@shell jackal No trouble. I just tested out your save and the dresser wasn't rendered into the farmhouse... The one next to your bed or the one in the top left room?

[chrome cedar]

guys, if you have portraits for the vanilla characters but also want for all the SVE characters, i just found a mod for it

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5269

they look pretty damn good

[bright ocean]

Portraiture tho

[shell jackal]

They look nice but not my style. I found some that kind of make me think of Fullmetal Alchemist. Similar style to that.

[chrome cedar]

care to share?

what's wrong with portraiture?

[bright ocean]

Scale Up (also by Routine) does the same thing via Content Patcher instead, so you get all of the functionality of CP too

[snow iris]

hello again
is there a mod for breaking geodes? i have around 500 😦

[bright ocean]

Personal Anvil!

[snow iris]

thanks again minerva

[chrome cedar]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1689

i haven't downloaded that one but looked interesting

[snow iris]

is this removes animations too

[chrome cedar]

idk

[snow iris]

i got bored after breaking 50 geodes and alt-f4'ed

[chrome cedar]

lmao

[bright ocean]

Fast Animations can help too

[restive zodiac]

(There's also Fast Animations as the description mentions)

[chrome cedar]

god bless fast animations

[snow iris]

idk what it this is but im installing

[chrome cedar]

i learned to fix my own probles with the log 🙂

[viral geode]

Hey just downloaded the new smapi update for android and finally got ChestsAnywhere working but don't know how to switch chests. Does anyone use the mod on android here?

[chrome cedar]

ok so portraiture doesn't really work?

i change the folders in game but the portrait stays the same

[bright ocean]

It works, it's better for if you plan to switch between portrait sets (that's its main feature)

[chrome cedar]

oh

well then i can't get it to work

[dire fractal]

there are also machines where you can store your geodes and it will process them over time

w/ automate

[bright ocean]

How are you installing the pack?

I'm pretty sure it's still one of those "install into the mod's folder" mods

[chrome cedar]

it says to install portraiture, and place the modded portraits into the portraiture mod

wich i did, and i can scroll through the folders i made for the portraits but the actual portrait in game doesn't change

[restive zodiac]

(Did you press the hotkey when talking to someone you want to change portrait for?)

[chrome cedar]

yes

default for P

fixed it

mb

i made an extra folder so it was reading the actual folder not the pngs

[shell jackal]

I can share the zip file, but not where it came from. The website was in a different language.

[bright ocean]

Uh, that's a no no if it's Naver then

Almost all of the mods there are no redistribution

[shell jackal]

I don't remember the website's name. I can try to find the link in my history though. Maybe.... Why don't they want people to share? As long as they aren't reposting to another site.

[bright ocean]

Usually it's "okay to modify in the cafe, do not redistribute outside cafe" or a straight no for both

[shell jackal]

Modify in the cafe?

[bright ocean]

Naver has "cafes" for their communities; think of them like subreddits

[shell jackal]

Ah

Guess I don't get it. shrugs

As in, why people can't share between themselves

Oh well

[chrome cedar]

it's tiring having to switch portraits each time i want to talk to another NPC

since Anime Portraits is set as default

would it work if i switch the original png from the characters with the ones of the mod?

wish me luck

well i fucked up

waaaai

t

i think i can fix some of them

[ivory crystal]

Where is a good place to upload to send a file?

Like, to send a save file to someone

[bright ocean]

If it's under 100mb, you can do it here

(or under 8mb in DMs)

[ivory crystal]

But does it link? Cuz I'm going to post the link somewhere

[bright ocean]

Yep, you can get a URL from it

[dire fractal]

for general purpose, dropbox, gdrive

3rd party, pathos recommends catbox.moe Minerva reacts with an "ew" tho

[bright ocean]

i hate making extra accounts lol

[dire fractal]

no accounts needed

you just throw your files in and upload

[ivory crystal]

Spiffer

[chrome cedar]

how can i change the config and content files to add more to the mod?

want to add some png's to ohodavi's mod folder and make it display it as if it was from the same mod

i tried editing it myself taking the codes someone made on a forum and taking as an example the original config/content but it didn't work

i managed to merge the portraits from talkohlooeys into SVE

[gleaming kestrel]

Is this the right channel to ask a question about Stardew Valley Expanded?

[bright ocean]

Yep

[gleaming kestrel]

Oh good! I was curious if it's incompatible with Flower Valley? It mentioned that any mods that "replace or move" major features are, but I think Flower Valley is mostly a recolor/retexture?

[bright ocean]

it is

!sve

[white schooner]

Stardew Valley Expanded (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3753) is a mod which adds a lot of new content and areas to the game. It has many dependencies, so be sure to follow the install guide which is on the github wiki along with FAQs and troubleshooting steps for common issues: https://github.com/FlashShifter/StardewValleyExpanded/wiki

[bright ocean]

some info on incompatible mods there

[gleaming kestrel]

Yeah, I'm on that page now. I just needed the clarification. Thank you!

[bright ocean]

no problem

just note that the new houses and such won't match

[gleaming kestrel]

Wait, more clarification. So they are compatible?

Sorry, I guess I misunderstood "it is", lol

[bright ocean]

it (FV) is (a recolor) XD

[gleaming kestrel]

Ah! Got it. Yay! Thanks so much

[bright ocean]

[chrome cedar]

im hacking my way through mods to get the portraits i want lol

[gleaming kestrel]

I'm hoping to find out how I can make the wizard-style farmhouse play nice with medieval buildings.

Oh, and there's my answer, lol

[bright ocean]

the easiest way is to comment out the portion of the json for the mod you want to disable a building from

(if it's not configurable)

[gleaming kestrel]

Yee, that's what the comment I just read said. So we'll see if it works. :D

Ah, I see why it didn't work. It's FV that's determining what the farmhouse looks like.

[bright ocean]

yes, fv includes the farm buildings

[gleaming kestrel]

Easy fix. Yay! Now I have a wizard house

Are you marrying a custom NPC?

[bright ocean]

@restive zodiac more data for your experiments

[neon steppe]

ah could someone help me figure out why my game is crashing when i sleep https://smapi.io/log/23a6b22aff9a4608b632078d6986f33c

[bright ocean]

Update everything

@ demon king

[neon steppe]

okay ill try that thx

[atomic crag]

Is there a premade list somewhere of all mods that don't conflict with each other?

[dire fractal]

nope

smapi tells you

most mods work well together unless they are changing the same thing

which is obviously incompatible

[atomic crag]

Oh, so you get a warning but not before getting a mod.

I should say before you try to run it.

Thank you!

Just doing some research before trying any mods.

[subtle nebula]

@shell jackal That's some other mod that has a dresser

Although that dresser next to your bed is pickaxable. So you could just yeet it into the trash?

[bright ocean]

Sounds like the CF ones

[woven lance]

is there a mod that makes alternate animal foods?

because Marnie has a quest to have you get Amaranth for her cows because they love it

and its icon is clearly wheatlike

[bright ocean]

Animal Husbandy has a treating mechanic

[woven lance]

and its a grain

but you cant feed it to them

[subtle nebula]

Yeah, it says Standart Dresser. Which is German? Blame Routine!!

[bright ocean]

Minakie

I think

[faint flare]

How to get Seasonal Villager Portrait?

[bright ocean]

!svo

[woven lance]

hard no on getting animal husbandry, even with its alternate methods it's still a butchery mod and im not touching that

[bright ocean]

shoot

[faint flare]

I have the xnb

[bright ocean]

I turn off all of the meat mechanics and just use the treating/festivals

in that case

!xnbzola

[white schooner]

An XNB mod replaces some of your game's .xnb files to change the game (unlike newer mods that go in your Mods folder). This is an older type of mod that's no longer recommended, and can cause a number of issues. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods for help using them (and a list of alternatives using Content Patcher), and https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Editing_XNB_files for help unpacking & editing them (including for use with Content Patcher).
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/156109690059751424/575085766426886145/ZolasFury.png

[subtle nebula]

Dang, I remember CFR having it.

[woven lance]

XNBs arent a thing we use anymore

[bright ocean]

CFR has a craftable fake dresser, it doesn't look like the GG/Kisekae/GD ones though

It's just a chest internally

[woven lance]

i never looked at all the features husbandry added

boy i wish they werent tangled up with meat and butchery

[faint flare]

So what I need to have to get portrait also become Seasonal Villager potrait

[woven lance]

should have been a seperate mod not tacked on to butchermod

[bright ocean]

Yeah, I avoided it too until I learned about the other parts and that you can disable anything you don't want

Check the site I linked Zalec, it has CP versions of quite a few mods

[woven lance]

thats good that you can disable what you dont want

[faint flare]

ok thanks

[woven lance]

baffling to me that they did it like that tho

instead of just making a new mod

[faint flare]

ya I'm interested with giving my cat a treat

[naive drum]

wasn't it a bunch of things that were cut from vanilla?

[bright ocean]

Well, there's a reason why the name changed 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think Digus's intent was to make it an all around animal based farm mod

Bringing in a lot of IRL aspects

(like the contests added recently)

[woven lance]

yeah but it started as a butcher mod and that's still a big aspect

and that's a hard turnoff for some people

myself included

[bright ocean]

Fair enough. Like I said, until I learned I could disable all of it, I didn't even contemplate it

I doubt an alt would come out though, Digus makes some stable mods that don't have much competition

(as much as the author of FeTK tried, MFM is more user friendly XD)

[pliant swallow]

You can always try the unofficial update of Paritee's Treat Your Animals too (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Mod_compatibility#Paritee.27s_Treat_Your_Animals)

[naive drum]

also animal husbandry's butcher-related stuff is straightup a reimplementation of vanilla mechanics and items that still even have sprites etc in the files

[bright ocean]

Did somebody actually get that working? The one time I tried that it did not go well (this was in 1.3 fwiw)

[pliant swallow]

Strobe is in the unofficial version tag. I haven't tried it myself.

[gleaming kestrel]

/pulls hair out

...never mind, found it. /puts toupee on

[dire fractal]

(you can test it for me!)

[woven lance]

@ Wingheart yeah, and it was cut for a reason. CA decided it didnt fit, and the community as a whole mostly agreed with that. games often have unused files. heck if i remember right arent there old portraits for some characters still in the game?

[bright ocean]

Some unused characters mostly I believe

[dire fractal]

this conversation gave me an idea for a new mod

even though it's sort of implemented in AH

with the rise of the ImpossibleBurger and plant based meat, a mod to do just that

[bright ocean]

(CA is also aware that there are mods that make use of those sprites and that's why he didn't overwrite them with new items I believe. No confirmation, but he does keep an eye on some of the bigger things)

head tilt

what do you mean

[dire fractal]

There are orgs like Impossible Burger that have emulated meat using plant based products

so if we could do that in Stardew as well

mostly soy

[pliant swallow]

I think Fresh Meat does an admirable job of impossible plant-based meat 😉

[dire fractal]

oh?

[bright ocean]

(thank you mousey XD)

[dire fractal]

:P

[bright ocean]

We could def use some more vegetarian recipes though, we have soy but it's under-utilized

[dire fractal]

but uh that grows meat which is weird

(sorry)

[bright ocean]

well the implication is that it's not really meat XD

(it is weird, it's okay)

[dire fractal]

irl, they synthesise something called "Heme" from soy which is also found in animal tissue. It's what gives the 'bloody' taste

[bright ocean]

The first time I saw it my literal actual response was "what the hell???"

WHY?

Heme = blood in some language, yep

(Hemoglobin is what we measure to see how much actual blood you have in your blood, btw)

[dire fractal]

I know!

[gleaming kestrel]

...As it only just now occurs to me that the only meat in SDV is fish. Wow. XD

[bright ocean]

Yep

Aside from the steak Alex eats/gives Dusty

[pastel arch]

I can't wait until we invent beef based fish

[dire fractal]

But not sure if it's interesting enough to be mod worthy.

[pastel arch]

Then we can have plant based beef based fish

[gleaming kestrel]

I saw a vegan bundles mod the other day and got... a little confused?

[dire fractal]

OT: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/impossible-burger-everything-you-need-to-know/

vegan implies no dairy too

[gleaming kestrel]

Right, but they also changed bundles/items that are already vegan

[dire fractal]

but I have no idea what-- yeah /shrug

[bright ocean]

(if you wanna do it strobe, it would be a great addition to ppja 😛 i can see interest in it)

[dire fractal]

and I won't even need to make meat sprites because it already exists :P

notes down

[bright ocean]

Hadi and Zosa have all those meat sprites too

[gleaming kestrel]

Do the mod just so there's more excuse to use the phrase "meat sprites"

[dire fractal]

It seems simple enough since it doesn't need a smapi mod.

(and yeah, ppja doesn't use smapi)

I guess I'll do this today!

[gleaming kestrel]

/closes game to change a config
/immediately forgets what it was
🙃

[woven lance]

just open all the configs

flip all bools

see what happens

[gleaming kestrel]

Jesus

Pretty sure my game would have a stroke XD

Obviously not that important a change

¯_(ツ)_/¯

...I immediately remembered when I opened the game

why does pufferchick exist?

[smoky timber]

yes

[woven lance]

how long?

why is it so prevelent?

[dire fractal]

because once there was a pufferfish

and it met a chicken

...

[smoky timber]

i thought there will be make chicken into pufferchick mod..

[faint flare]

ok thanks

[dire fractal]

Is nexus downloading very slowly for everyone else? It says it limits it to 1mb/s but it's downloading Nikolai way slower my connection is at 5.7 megabyte/s :/

[thorn needle]

How do I know if certain mods are compatable with each other? I see people with like 100s of mods so how do I make sure they will all work together?

[sharp belfry]

Reading descriptions, knowing what each mod changes, using up to date mods, and when everything else fails, trial and error

[thorn needle]

Alright. Also in the requirements tab on Nexus, do I have to download all the Required Nexus mods in there?

[sharp belfry]

Yes

[thorn needle]

Alright thanks

This is my first time modding, gonna try download smapi and everything today

(on stardew)

[sharp belfry]

Some of these required mods have their own requirements, so read each mod page carefully!

[thorn needle]

oh

okay

[sharp belfry]

Generally, the bigger the mod the more mods it requires. The good part is most of the requirements for various mods are commonly used frameworks so you won't have to download much extra after the first batch

[thorn needle]

Ok

Does it matter for mods like this which say combatible woith 1.3.28?

COMPATIBILITY
Works with SMAPI 2.7 and SDV 1.3.28 on Windows (Other OS not tested)

Would it work with 1.4?

[sharp belfry]

(Also take care to not mix up "mods required by this mod" with "mods that require this mod", they're pretty close to each other on the site)

Well, depends on the mod

Chances are someone's asked this question in the comment section

[thorn needle]

Ah ok, but what about the less popular mods?

[sharp belfry]

Gimme a sec

You can check if the mod is listed on https://smapi.io/mods which will say whether it's compatible and if someone's made an unofficial update

[thorn needle]

ah ok ty

[sharp belfry]

If nobody's asked and it's not on there you can either cross your fingers and try it out yourself or ask in here

[thorn needle]

ok

Also do you have a greenhouse mod? If so any suggestions? xD There are so many and I don't like the vanilla greenhouse because of the shape

[sharp belfry]

Generally, 1.4 added some craftables for example so if that mod is older than late 2019 and changes them the new ones might become invisible

You mean the outside or the inside?

[thorn needle]

inside

[sharp belfry]

Hang on, I'm on my phone so it will take a sec to find the one I use

[thorn needle]

Also if I'm using Stardew Valley Expanded, would the NPC Map Locations work with those new npcs?

Wait nevermind it says in description about SVE

[sharp belfry]

There's a special SVE version of that, in optional files if I'm not mistaken

[thorn needle]

Ah ok

[naive drum]

WRT mods that change craftables/springobjects and are old, if they're CP it's pretty easy to do a quick conversion (changing Load to Overlay, generally, although depending on the mod sometimes you have to erase some stuff from the assets image)

[sharp belfry]

@thorn needle this is the greenhouse mod I use, it's pretty and the other greenhouse mods are generally too big for my taste :) https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3969

[naive drum]

eg Probably Purple and Certainly Rainbows had a bunch of issues with invisible stuff or other weirdness (green tea was turned into the words Tea Leaf, which was funny enough that I seriously considered not fixing it)

[thorn needle]

Ah okay thanks :)

[sharp belfry]

(I know but idk if rewriting parts of mods is good advice for a first timer)

[naive drum]

(i'm willing to do it for people and so are some others probably)

[sharp belfry]

True, I'm just trying to dose the info since I've seen many people get overwhelmed by it all :P

[thorn needle]

Does SVE make everything 3D?

[sharp belfry]

No? Where did you get that impression?

Aaah

I know

These are just promo pics/wallpapers :P

[thorn needle]

Ah okay great xD

I was worried for a sec

https://smapi.io/mods

What about mods that don't show up on here?

[sharp belfry]

The order of action for me is check last update date (after Nov 27 is 1.4)->check comments->ask on here->cross fingers, download and check for yourself

In time you'll get a pretty good sense of what type of mod is more or less likely to cause problems by being out of date

[naive drum]

generally mods that don't show up on there are either XNB replacer mods (go in the Content folder and overwrite game files, assume incompatible, check on Chucklefish for a conversion) or content pack mods (generally compatible if the framework is compatible)

[sharp belfry]

(Bear in mind that I'm not an expert and I sacrilegiously use Vortex so other people's advice probably trumps mine)

Yes! That! Listen to wingheart, they talkin good

[thorn needle]

So would Stardew Valley Expanded work fine?

[naive drum]

yeah it does!

i use it

[sharp belfry]

Yeah!

[main cloud]

hi, sorry to interrupt! i downloaded BAGI and the PPJA icon pack and some of the honey icons are still vanilla, why is that?

[thorn needle]

Axe's Expanded Cellars didn't show up there. Should I just skip that?

[naive drum]

Funny XNB mod story: When I was first getting into Stardew modding, over a year ago, I hadn't heard of SMAPI and used a few XNB replacers. Even once I discovered SMAPI and was using it, I'd forgotten to back up some of the game files so I didn't stop using every XNB mod, only most of them.

The XNB mods reacted weirdly with a few wizard-related mods and basically turned the Wizard in my game into a genderfluid shapeshifter.

[thorn needle]

lol

[naive drum]

quote from a friend on that situation: "Representation is great and all, but I worry for the integrity of your game files."

[wooden zodiac]

can bfav run into for android version?

[naive drum]

it should be noted that that friend was who linked me the culprit XNBs.

and Poman I think the unofficial BFAV update might run on Android?

!bfav

[white schooner]

BFAV stands for Better Farm Animal Variety, a mod by Paritee which lets you add new breeds of animals to live in coops and barns. The official version (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3296) is broken in Stardew Valley 1.4 and an unofficial update can be found at https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/updating-mods-for-stardew-valley-1-4.156000/page-46#post-3356278. Documentation for the Content Pack format is available on github (https://github.com/paritee/Paritee.StardewValley.Frameworks/blob/bfav-3.0.0/BetterFarmAnimalVariety/README.md)

[wooden zodiac]

ok got,,and new animal trent can?

[naive drum]

if BFAV runs on Android, Trent's New Animals will too.

(PFM works on Android, as far as I know)

[sharp belfry]

@thorn needle ace's cellars should work too 🙂

[wooden zodiac]

and,,you can tell me,,to use it,,i so confuse🤔

[thorn needle]

ok thx

:)

[sharp belfry]

@thorn needle this is why I say to check comments 😛

[naive drum]

Basically: Install the framework mods/dependencies.

[thorn needle]

Ah I did see that but I didn't know if it worked because it didn't show on the website thing

[naive drum]

If those work, then so will Trent's New Animals.

And any other pack using those dependencies.

Hi, I have the GoG version of SDV and when i decided to mod i actually copied and pasted the entire SDV folder to my desktop so I had 1 for mod and 1 for vanilla, is there a way to update the mod version to 1.4.5?

[wooden zodiac]

@naive drum ok

[sharp belfry]

it's a content pack so it won't show there but you can generally trust the commenters in these cases Sim 🙂

[wooden zodiac]

for stardew expanded? still lag for now?

[naive drum]

Probably, the lag was mostly because a few maps were extremely big, the next update is shrinking them especially the desert railway

(Desert Railway had 2 accessible areas placed very very far apart)

[thorn needle]

What is Vortex?

[naive drum]

a mod manager, not recommended for stardew but very good at skyrim modding

[thorn needle]

ah ok]

[distant canopy]

Is there any mod that can trigger random events? I can't trigger Krobus Event, I'm at Y2 Winter 25 right now.

[thorn needle]

does BFAV only make it so you have to buy your horse from marnie

?

[naive drum]

no

[lapis void]

you can do that with debug commands kima

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Debug_commands#Festivals_and_events

[naive drum]

it makes it so that people can add new types of farm animals, like quail, phoenixes, sport horses, etc

[lapis void]

what i would do is find the event ID for that event in the spreadsheet linked in the pins and do debug ebi [whatever the ID is]

[thorn needle]

ahh ok

[lapis void]

oh wait it isn't in the pins here huh

@distant canopy put this into your console: debug ebi 520702

[distant canopy]

@lapis void thank you

[lapis void]

np! let me know if you need any more help figuring it out, i know debug commands aren't always super intuitive

[distant canopy]

@lapis void It says "Event not found" in the first and "Sent debug command to the game, but there was no output" in my second attempt.

[lapis void]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CpDrw23peQiq-C7F2FjYOMePaYe0Rc9BwQsj3h6sjyo/edit#gid=1007039997 this is the spreadsheet with event ids where i grabbed that from

[naive drum]

Usually the game doesn't output anything when it gets a debug command

[lapis void]

^ yeah

[distant canopy]

BTW, I'm on SDV Android 1.4.5

[lapis void]

if you're already in the location where the event starts, it doesn't tend to like to start

[naive drum]

smapi is like, well i sent a debug command and got nothing, this doesn't mean nothing happened but i sure have no way of knowing!

since it wasn't event not found, presumably something happened

[distant canopy]

Okay. Thank you guys. I'll give my feedback if it work the next day.

[lapis void]

cjb cheats also has some events in it but i'm not sure if that one is there

[thorn needle]

Would these mods work with 1.4/together?
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2557?tab=description
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/392?tab=description

(last 1 is pretty old)

[lapis void]

first one works, second one is not recommended to use unless you find a content patcher version

!xnb

[white schooner]

XNB mods often break the game and are not recommended. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods for more info (and a list of Content Patcher alternatives), and https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files to fix problems caused by XNB mods. For mod creators, see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Editing_XNB_files for help unpacking & editing them (including for use with Content Patcher).

[thorn needle]

Ah okay

Ty

[lapis void]

https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/migrating-xnb-mods-to-content-patcher-packs.141577/page-64#post-3305765 looks like this is a CP conversion

[thorn needle]

https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/migrating-xnb-mods-to-content-patcher-packs.141577/page-16#post-3280497

I found a CP for Portrait Accurate Alex

I'll just use that

[lapis void]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/349 this is a more recent version!

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/938 and another alex mod that tweaks his portrait

[thorn needle]

Oh thanks

I think these are the mods I'm gonna get, this is my first time using mods with Stardew tho

So what is the difference between content patcher and SMAPI?

[sharp belfry]

CP mods are content packs for Content Patcher, a smapi framework that makes it easier to mod certain stuff

[thorn needle]

ah

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2400

[shut violet]

but content patcher needs smapi anyway

[thorn needle]

Is this where I download SMAPI?

[shut violet]

this, or the smapi site

both are fine

[thorn needle]

ok

Okay I think I'll get all the mods working later cus this is confusing lol

plus I gtg soon

[thorn needle]

Mod conflicts:
Farm Expansion: compatible, but do not build the garage in the expansion area. You can use the tractor there, but make sure not to leave it there overnight.

For Tractor Mod what does this mean?

I'm gonna use a new Farm map (the one you get with SVE), so does that mean I can't use tractor mod?

[lapis void]

no, you can use it--I believe that's talking about Ace's Farm Expansion?

heads up though, SVE is not the best on mobile right now and may have some issues

there seems to be a problem with farm type manager from what i've gathered from the android SMAPI dev, and SVE also has several very large maps that can cause a lot of lag

[thorn needle]

Ah okay. I'm on PC btw

[lapis void]

oh pff i mustve skimmed and mixed your questions up with someone else using android

farm type manager is fine on PC, but the large maps can still cause lag on less powerful machines

[thorn needle]

Okay

Also, for content patcher mods, do they just get added like the Smapi mods?

[lapis void]

yes, you need to have content patcher installed but as long as you have that you can just drop the [CP] Name Of The Mod folder into your Mods folder

make sure you don't have any folders with long strings of numbers after the name from extracting them--if you do, just drag anything inside of those into the mods folder and delete the one with numbers

those can sometimes have loose files like a readme or example pngs, so SMAPI won't read them as a mod

[thorn needle]

Okay

Ty

Also would Season Villager Outfits work with Portrait-Accurate Alex or would Alex’s clothes be changed to the seasonal ones?

[lapis void]

they would conflict because they're patching the same thing (alex's sprites)--you would have to either just use SVO, or turn alex's seasonal outfits off in the config for it and not have his new seasonal outfits

[thorn needle]

Ah ok

I think I will just use portrait accurate Alex xD

[lapis void]

you can still use seasonal villager outfits for all the other villagers!

[thorn needle]

This is my first time using mods so I don’t rlly want to get into the config and stuff yet lol

[candid delta]

Hello, I tried to install farm expansion mods today and got error. here's my log: https://smapi.io/log/a796f0beefde48c8805e151266f836b9?. at first i tried to install the official 3.3 version from nexus mods but found out it was outdated (smapi said the dll can't be loaded) and then i tried to install the unofficial version by huancz but still got error. any advise? thank you!

[lapis void]

farm expansion has issues with tractor mod--actually, simvoid posted about that error a bit farther up

Farm Expansion: compatible, but do not build the garage in the expansion area. You can use the tractor there, but make sure not to leave it there overnight.

[candid delta]

i did neither of those. didn't leave the tractor there and also didn't build the garage there. i couldn't even access the farm expansion maps

it said,that it crashed on entry

[livid topaz]

Anyone ever used the image export mod?

whenever I do the command my game crashes and the expport is just black

[candid delta]

i did neither of those. didn't leave the tractor there and also didn't build the garage there. i couldn't even access the farm expansion maps
@candid delta i mean, i have never even entered the expansion maps

[lapis void]

that should be the correct unofficial update version, but your game is a couple versions behind--try updating it through steam and see if anything changes?

honestly it sounds like it may be a mac issue though

@dire fractal ^ does this look like an issue with the unofficial farm expansion update not being crossplatform to you?

@livid topaz map image export? i think that may not be working in 1.4, but there's a vanilla screenshot option that should do the exact same thing as the mod

go to the options menu and scroll all the way down, there should be a screenshot option and you should be able to change the zoom level of the screenshot

[dire fractal]

it's likely, that Stardew Valley version not found looks similar to the error I get

what mods do Farm Expansion require?

[lapis void]

looks like no dependencies

https://github.com/AdvizeGH/FarmExpansion/pull/10 here's the PR for the unofficial update Zied is using

[candid delta]

so i need to try update the SDV thru steam first?

[lapis void]

try that, yeah--it may be that the way the unofficial update was made just won't work with mac though, strobe is gonna look into that (he's much better with mac issues than i am)

[wooden zodiac]

smapi broken for android?? please help

https://github.com/MartyrPher/SMAPI-Android-Installer/releases/tag/3.2.0.3 this apk from here?

did you try to install it on an SD card, and do you have the correct game version?

yup

the version for compatible for smapi

it won't work if it's installed on an external SD card, did you check the install location?

https://smapi.io/log/4109ae7281554ae48db6aeb8c3c9a46f

An error occured in the base update loop: Galaxy.Api.GalaxyInstance+InvalidArgumentError

I'm having all sorts of problems running a server with more than 3 friends using the unlimited players mod

Multiplayer is sort of iffy lately

since 1.4.5/1.4.4, therehave been tons of hosting issues

So it's likely that the mods I have to host for more people is exacerbating the issues that are already there rather than making new ones ?

[languid badge]

Got the same error this morning @dire fractal think it’s associated with CoOp not working at all earlier

@regal prism You're using the build space posted here, right? Do JA and friends still work?

@arctic iris i doubt anything can be done about it, looks like a bug in CF Automate. CFR is slowly being phased out. Ask mod authors to migrate to PFM!

any way to fix or just to delete it

I believe either can have it

@dire fractal Flashshifters CM Mod for SVE conflicts

its not my mod

works fine when his is removed.. idk why but it conflicts with everyone's CM mods D:

[meager verge]

im currently looking through the comments on the nexus mods post and there seems to be an issue with the 4 corners farm which is what im using

[dire fractal]

so I have no clue why, but when I went into a shed that's decorated with custom furniture it showed as glitching vanilla furniture, then the game crashed, so...
https://smapi.io/log/f6ddd2f4cb5240b9b826ef8cd34c29f4
that's the log. no idea why on earth the furniture glitched when it was fine when I went in before...

hello,
my MP Mate have this Errors (since the new TMX and Pykt update)
https://smapi.io/log/4d8c7b2af69a4371a38bc82f53163ed8
Not the MP Warning From Spacecore, but the other

[dire fractal]

Autogate? isn't that mod outdated?

[proven thorn]

it works since the update without problems 😄

[dire fractal]

yeah but Autogate is giving errors

[proven thorn]

yea since today, the last time nothing.

but we make the update

and, you know more about the second spacecore warning?

[dire fractal]

sadly, the explanation SMAPI is giving seems to be in a different language that I don't speak... so I'm clueless

[proven thorn]

yea its german 😄

but thx

[bright ocean]

Rose, do the updates you can, particularly pytk and cfr

Plus

!compat

[white schooner]

See https://smapi.io/mods for a list of mods updated for the latest versions of SMAPI and Stardew Valley. :)

[dire fractal]

... here's the thing: I did update pytk

[restive zodiac]

(Not sure why autogate would be affected by pytk/tmxl update, but oof I didn't realize it was live! I must buildable this week )

[proven thorn]

(i try the update now and give feedback)

[dire fractal]

all my mods that aren't updated either 1) the updated version is a .xnb file (narrative overhauls) or 2) the update is optional and doesn't apply to me (ppja converter)

[bright ocean]

(Jeardius, I don't see anything obvious aside from the auto gate stuff)

[dire fractal]

I don't use event repeater any more, I should delete it...

and cfr

[proven thorn]

or at the end of the log 😄

[bright ocean]

I know, I saw it, but I don't see why

Null translation maybe?

[proven thorn]

Yea but why

yesterday all was fine ^^

[bright ocean]

I'm not sure. What updated between then and now?

[proven thorn]

TMX, Pykt and Khadis Shop

the thing is, the warning comes when i come in Robins Arean...

on our farm we have a gate, no warning

come to robins area, warning

[bright ocean]

Hmm, try disabling KRS first. And then if that doesn't fix it, try rolling back pytk and tmxl and test again

[proven thorn]

so now, i take the unoffcial Autogate: https://smapi.io/log/ad0d74de8f664c9a9761e81714ae84a4

1 Error, not 16 😄

[bright ocean]

Ah, that wasn't the unofficial? Did the spacecore error go away?

[proven thorn]

the second spacecore error go away yes

ah and we use now the Seasonal Hats yes, i forgot

[bright ocean]

Must be the issue with auto gate then. I would report the remaining error to whoever updated it

[proven thorn]

Yea, we delete the Mod at the moment, its a quality of Life mod but i dont needed them ^^

[dire fractal]

How come there is no mod that allows check weather few days ahead? Would such thing be impossible?

[split lotus]

weather is generated day by day

I've considered adding a feature to Climates to predict weather a few days off, but it's sitting in the queue with al lof t he fixes I need to make first before adding new features

[dire fractal]

I see, thanks, that would be pretty good

Minerva... doing what you said changed nothing. Only difference is the game didn't crash as fast. If I kept it open it probably would've crashed eventually, though

Hoping someone can help me find a mod. I'm trying to find something that will let me put multiple stacks of wine/ale/whatever into casks. Similar to the "PFM Upgraded Jars" mod. The one mod I've managed to find was updated back in September and isn't listed on SMAPI's compatibility list.

SVR can't be played with SVE right?

ah well, no

[restive zodiac]

I suppose it is technically possible that there are maps SVR loads that SVE doesn't, and you could just turn off everything else, but it's not really likely. If you have two things that both completely change a file, you're going to have to choose between them.

[chrome cedar]

SVR has amazing map design

but i really would have to search in each file to see what to turn off/on

i gueess it will be worth it, SVR has a config to turn off certain maps

[restive zodiac]

You can always just make a separate mod group for when you want a different set of mods that would otherwise conflict https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Can_I_have_different_mod_groups.3F. Right now this is a lot like saying "wow, I use these portraits that turn everyone into lizards, but I also like these portraits that turn everyone into doves, do they work together?"

[chrome cedar]

ffs

[snow iris]

jesus thats so smart, i wanna kiss that person who thought the idea

[chrome cedar]

i guess IF2R isn't compatible as well

i don't really know what to do tbh

[plucky field]

whats the issue you're having?

[chrome cedar]

me?

[plucky field]

uh, yes

[chrome cedar]

lul

i wanted to have some maps from SVR and keep others from SVE

like, keeping IF2R and Blue Moon Vineyard

but the rest changing them to SVR

i know that in SVR there are some features to turn off certai maps, but i don't realy know if it would work

[plucky field]

haven't seen how the content.json or any of it is set up cos I dont use it but yeah, anything on CP can be "Enabled": false,

[chrome cedar]

hm

in the case of it working, the only map i would have trouble with is the IF2R Bus map

because it has an entrance to the farm map that i think is needed

[plucky field]

oh, I just read the mod config, it's even easier

[chrome cedar]

forest is for the Cindersnap Forest and woods is for Secret Woods right?

or am i just being stupid

[plucky field]

yeh

catch me looking up cindersap foreest cos i didnt know what that was lmao

[chrome cedar]

lul

so, the question now is, how can i turn off SVE maps

[plucky field]

you'd need to find out which ones you can remove without breaking the content it adds first

[chrome cedar]

yeah, SVE is over SVR in every case, i can't expect SVR to be ove SVE

[plucky field]

no clue what that means, but uhh, i suppose you'll have to see what maps in SVE are "useless" and use SVR for those by disabling them in SVE. I don't use it so I'm not sure how it loads the maps, I assume CP? TMXLoader? you're gonna have to look inside the mod and see

(honestly it seems kinda like a lot of work, I'd just do a playthru with one and another with the other x3)

[chrome cedar]

i mean, some mods overlay other mods, like i had a Eemie's map recolour over other mod that added other recolour

[lapis void]

that works for recolors, but SVE pretty much needs all of its maps to work

SVE alters NPC schedules to fit with its maps, so if you try to replace an SVE map with a different map, NPCs will get stuck or go to weird places

[restive zodiac]

Yep, again, this is basically "wow, I use these portraits that turn everyone into lizards, but I also like these portraits that turn everyone into doves, how do I make them work together?"

Two groups of "let me give you all my custom maps", just pick one

[compact forum]

Merge into flying lizard people

[shut violet]

use portraits of dinosaurs, everyone know they are lizard with feathers

problem solved

[plucky field]

Yeah, like you can hack it all up and make the game run but you'll have issues regardless

[restive zodiac]

Exactly, "learn how to mod and make your own" is always an answer, but not "what button do I press to make my problems go away" :P

[shut violet]

(i feel like i am not helping right now, i don't know why)

[lapis void]

to be fair it'd be a lot easier to use some lizard portraits and some dove portraits than to mess with maps like that

[plucky field]

I usually give people that advise and then realise not everyone enjoys frankenstaining shit as much I do

[restive zodiac]

There are lots of other custom NPCs on Nexus at this point, so you could always make a different mod setup with the maps you want and all the other NPCs and event mods available!

[plucky field]

Yeah I just spent a bit reading what SVR does and its exactly the same in terms of map overhauling as SVE so it seems kinda unfeasible

[chrome cedar]

i'd love to do some frankenstein shit with these mods if i knew how

[lapis void]

more like "i like this mod that makes everyone do a choreographed dance number in town every tuesday, how do i make it work with this other mod that makes the town square turn into an aquarium on tuesdays"

[compact forum]

Make fish people

[lapis void]

SVE is a nightmare for compatibility in general, you're not gonna get it to work with other mods that change maps

[chrome cedar]

yeah, i think i'll just go for SVR

[plucky field]

Yeah, I'd say that's a better idea.

then you get to play sve in another save

[regal prism]

Whats SVR?

[plucky field]

Stardew Valley Reimagined

[chrome cedar]

i'll miss the new characters tho

[plucky field]

its a map overhaul

well, hence the two saves recommendation x3

i think that eventually i'll learn to mod and make all that shit

Yeah it's windows

Ty mouse

[plucky field]

i thought u wer ejusta sking for times not for help thats not fair

anyway, smapi took 1 minute. if u can download 25 mods in 9 minutes ill be right

[thorn needle]

Okay I think i'm gonna go try download them all now

So should I download Smapi first, then content loader, and then just all the other mods?

or can I add content loader mods before content loader?

Also for Stardew Valley expanded, if I have a custom greenhouse mod do I need to edit the SVE config or something? And what about building retextures will they work with SVE?

And another question: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2557?tab=description
Will this mod work with seasonal villager outfits, SVE etc?

xD

[plucky field]

First install smapi, then you can install mods in he folder it creates. I assume by content loader you mean content patcher, which is just a mod like any other (that a lot of other mods depend on)

I encoruage you to read the descriptions of mods when you download them, as that will tell you what other mods they require to be installed + any configuration options, known bugs, etc

I dont unse SVE so I cant answer that one. Building retextures should work as long as thats not something SVE touches (again, i have no clue, you're gonna have to read the description)

[thorn needle]

Okay

[plucky field]

and dialogue will not conflict with villager portraits and sprites because they're editing diferent things

[restive zodiac]

https://github.com/FlashShifter/StardewValleyExpanded/wiki/Troubleshooting#custom-greenhouse-interiorsexteriors-if2r

[plucky field]

agains, cant say about SVE, cos idk if it edits vanilla dialogues and schedules

[restive zodiac]

I think dialogue overhauls should be okay as it mostly adds a few new keys/events or edits schedules to visit its new locations or whatnot

But it's something you'd check on the SVE side about since it is what will be touching the most content

(also just to clarify, SVE doesn't do anything with the farm/greenhouse by itself! that's an optional download of IF2R on the download page. You don't have to use it)

[thorn needle]

ah wait so i dont have to use that map?

[restive zodiac]

Nope, Immersive Farm 2 Remastered is a separate download that changes the standard farm/greenhouse/farm cave etc.

You can just use a vanilla farm or any custom one you want, and they would probably be fine.

It's just when people want to use the farm and then change the areas it comes with that it gets complicated, since the farm/greenhouse/cave/blah are meant to be used together...

[thorn needle]

ah okay

my only problem with this map is just kind of how everything has a way its like meant to be, feels like i dont really get to decide where stuff goes

if that makes sense

[plucky field]

theres a version without the square grass plots if i remember

[thorn needle]

also the greenhouse is so far from the house

xD

i might just use that map anyway tho

oh wait yeah

it says in the config you can turn all the grass and fences off

this feels a lot more customizable :) i was gonna get oasis greenhouse but i think i might just stick with this greenhouse

oasis greenhohuse does seem a little OP imo anyway

[snow iris]

those grass areas can be tilled and planted with crops

im using the same farm sim, you can see all of it

[thorn needle]

i know but it just feels like the farm is being designed for you with the grass and stuff

kind of like its indicating where you ened to put your stuff

the second one which is empty looks like its more customisable

and lets me edit it more

OHH

[snow iris]

yeah it is actually, with fence version, gives a lot of space for barns and coops

[thorn needle]

your using the one without the fences and stuff

[snow iris]

yeah

those grass fences area all mods

[thorn needle]

also deep do you know just off the top of your head if any of these conflict?

ik for some like npc map locations I'll have to edit the UI Suite config or something

[snow iris]

when you run the game, cmd window opens right?

a black window ?

[thorn needle]

and ik there is some sort of download so that map locations works with sve

umm

i havent downloaded smapi or any mods yet

[snow iris]

when you install smapi, something like this opens, when you run the game
this is for loading all the mods and it shows you which of your mods are needs to updated, or couldnt loaded, or doesnt work

so no worries 👍

[thorn needle]

okay

[thorn needle]

im gonna download smapi then do all my mods and stuff

hopefully i can work this all out lol

[snow iris]

its easy dont worry

[thorn needle]

i've had modded terraria but that was a lot easier

[thorn needle]

just had to download tmodloader then u can search for mods while in terraria and download them in terraria

xD

ah

i just found 2 more mods to add lmao

im gonna end up with like 100 mods

[plucky field]

thats how it goes

also, i resent this idea that terraria modding is easier than sdv

[thorn needle]

why

i'd say its easier basically because all you gotta do is get tmodloader, then open terraria via steam, then just click on 1 button and it shows u all the mods then u just click download and it downloads them

maybe its just as easy for stardew but i've never modded stardew yet plus the fact that downloading mods for terraria is just easy UI menu makes it seem easier imo xD

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3167

Also for this mod, why is there alpacas and stuff?

Do those replace 1 of the existing barn animals or is that like a new animal to buy?

and deer

[snow iris]

replacing

[naive drum]

Replacing

[thorn needle]

im guessing they are skins for goats?

[snow iris]

we dont ask why in here 😛 because why not?

[shut violet]

i think it's skin for goats, yes

[thorn needle]

oh alpaca is for sheep and deer for cows

that seems od

odd*

[shut violet]

one day there may be a BFAV version of those

[thorn needle]

1.1.0 - Brought back some old favorites: alpaca as sheep and deer as cows!
- Replaced the animal icons in Marnie's shop menu. This will not change based on your options. (Optional, enabled by default)
- Removed the nested folders options

i should rlly read descriptions lol

[naive drum]

trent's new animals uses elle's deer sprites for deer

and i thiiiiiink there's BFAV alpacas somewhere, probably not converted

[frozen orchid]

Trent's actually uses Eemie's

[thorn needle]

I'm about to download SMAPI, will it get rid of my current saves?

[plucky field]

i did say to read descriptions im crying now and pufferchick is crying too

nope

[thorn needle]

sorry xD

[plucky field]

smapi doesnt do anything to saves

honetsly id write a long text about all the great things about stardew modding but i shall spare u for now

also i ahppen to hate the terraria modding scene cos im a GOG child

[thorn needle]

wth on nexus it says i can get premium or do slow download

i click slow download and its done within a second

how is that slow download lol

[frozen orchid]

"Slow" meaning you're capped at 2MB/second. Most Stardew mods aren't that big XD;

Now, if it were a Skyrim mod, that would be a different story

[thorn needle]

lol

okay smapi is done

so now i just download mods then drag them into mods folder right/

[split lotus]

aft er extracting

[thorn needle]

yes

this is the right folder right?

[plucky field]

yes

[marsh sentinel]

Hey! I use the CJB item spawner and the CJB cheats menu, and according to every site i look at, they should work on multiplayer. and friends on mine have confirmed this. But theres a problem. . . Whenever i go to the co-op menu, there is no "join online game" option, and when I try to host, there are no options for multiplayer, and no buttons to send an invite code. Does anyone have any idea why?

[thorn needle]

okay awesome i've got smapi downloaded and SVE and all of the required mods for SVE

[restive zodiac]

@marsh sentinel Are you starting the game from Steam?

(or Galaxy)

[marsh sentinel]

no, im starting the game with the StardewmoddingAPI.exe

smapi

[restive zodiac]

If you're on Windows, you need to change your launch options so that you can start it through Steam. Check out Part 2: configure Steam from here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows#Option_A:_use_SMAPI.27s_installer

You could still try connecting via IP if the host also does port forwarding stuff, but the invite codes and "join friend" options go through Steam/Galaxy

[marsh sentinel]

Okay, Thank you!

[floral sequoia]

whats the hotkey for the item spawner mod

[restive zodiac]

By default it's i, but it's configurable. Make sure you check the mod page descriptions for that kind of information when you download!

[floral sequoia]

thank you

ok

[marsh sentinel]

@restive zodiac It worked! Thank you!

[thorn needle]

@snow iris How do you get to choose what map you have with SVE? It says to add all 3 maps to your mod thing but when I start a new file I have the map with grass and fence

[snow iris]

letme find

[restive zodiac]

@thorn needle If you mean Immersive Farm 2 Remastered, the config is generated after the first time you run the game with it installed.

(https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Configure_mods)

[thorn needle]

Oh thanks

Wait so how do I use 1 farm over the other?

There is like 3 mods I think and it tells you to put all 3 in your mods folder

[restive zodiac]

Yes, they all three go in the mods folder. The config.json will be in the [CP] Immersive Farm 2 Remastered folder, and you can o pen it with any text editor.

(They aren't different farms, they are different parts of the mod.)

[thorn needle]

ohhh

i just change that to true right?

[restive zodiac]

Yep!

[thorn needle]

awesome!

looks like all my mods have worked so far

one of my mods is a RAR file and when i opened it, it had a bunch of weird symbols and stuff and kind of lagged my computer before i closed it

is this normal?

(sorry for the spam but discord is lagging or something umm)

(sorry for the spam but discord is lagging or something umm)

[plucky field]

discord is dupeing messages and its creating unintended hilarity

[thorn needle]

yep sorry lol, i deleted all my duplicated messages

[restive zodiac]

You might not have anything that can open rars installed - 7zip will do it

[thorn needle]

Also it says to load the configs by opening stardew or something. Do I have to open stardew then make a new save or just open stardew and close? (stupid question ik, just wanna make sure i get it right)

[restive zodiac]

Most mods are zips because no one needs extra software for that, but sometimes one will sneak in

[thorn needle]

ah ok

maybe i will just get a dif dog mod

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/156

would it be a bad idea to use this because it is .XNB?

[sharp belfry]

Yes

[thorn needle]

Ah ok

[sharp belfry]

I recommend using adopt and skin, it allows you to easily put pngs in and out

[restive zodiac]

In this case because animals haven't changed much, it would probably be okay as long as you installed it right, but because it is easy to install wrong, it doesn't show up in the log, you have now changed game files etc, we still don't recommend it. You can check for alternatives at this page though, sorry for only semi relevant command but browser won't open

!reset

[white schooner]

See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files for instructions on resetting your game files! You may also want to check this list of XNB > Content Patcher conversions (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods#Alternatives_using_Content_Patcher) to see if there are already replacements for any XNB mods you may have been using :)

[restive zodiac]

And yeah, I was going to say what you need in your life is A & S and Elle's giant pack of dog skins :D

[thorn needle]

Alright thanks guys. I got all of the mods downloaded and now I just need to do some config stuff for Elle's barn animals, coop animals and building texture mods

I'll do that at some point this week but i should get to bed now xD

Thanks for all the help guys

[gleaming kestrel]

Does anybody know if there's a patch or... something? that adds SVE locations to CJB's warp locations?

[bright ocean]

Yep, it's on SVE's page iirc

[gleaming kestrel]

Great, thank you!

Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

[nocturne island]

please help

https://smapi.io/log/fe1e610663d7475c9b1fc15de6747f2d

[bright ocean]

that's....interesting

Can you try reinstalling SMAPI?

[dire fractal]

Minerva made me take out my laptop because it’s interesting

[bright ocean]

(remove NPC Map Locations too, it's broken)

And what type of Android device is this?

[nocturne island]

@bright ocean Xiaomi Redmi 8A
Android version is..9?

Okay I'll reinstall

[bright ocean]

Hmm, never heard of that one. Try reinstalling, but we may have to pass you onto Martyr. Does the vanilla version run fine?

[nocturne island]

@bright ocean yes it does

[bright ocean]

Might be an issue with Mono on your device then. Let me know how reinstalling goes

[nocturne island]

Ooo I reinstalled and it works!!

[bright ocean]

Yay!

[nocturne island]

Thank youuu!!!!!

[bright ocean]

I passed on the issue about NPC Map Locations, so you'll have to wait on that one

No problem 🙂

[nocturne island]

[carmine kayak]

Odd question, what is a good mod to add some extra length to the game when using automate and the tractor?

[bright ocean]

!ppja

[white schooner]

Project Populate Json Assets (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1935) is a collection of content packs for Json Assets that add new crops, flowers, trees, and recipes. (Also see https://mouseypounds.github.io/ppja-ref/ for a collection of references for PPJA and associated packs.)

[bright ocean]

My harder bundles too 😄

[carmine kayak]

Is that the one that makes the bundles have a multiplier

[dire fractal]

Family Planning /Krobus is causing a crash
corrupted save

[bright ocean]

Multiplier? Not that I know of

Rule 6 please!

[nocturne island]

Aa sorry

I just said

Aa sorry

"Are there any Russian people who can recommend a mod with a russian translation?"

[hot loom]

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the Meowth cat mod that used to be found here? Looks like the file is gone now: https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/meowth-pet-cat.108114/

[twilit grotto]

Is SMAPI Android up to date?

[dire fractal]

yes

[bright ocean]

Yes it is Hans

[plucky field]

You can look at the russian tag on nexus Di

[twilit grotto]

Thanks

[plucky field]

@nocturne island https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/?tags_yes[]=1051 i think

[dire fractal]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SMAPI/comments/f54pb4/cant_access_save_anymore/fi2aozm/ any idea?

[bright ocean]

Dionea, you'll need to remove that other post. And yeah, we have a few mods with translations

Looooooog Strobe

oh wait, there it is

why wasn't it showing up

[carmine kayak]

I saw a mod that makes bundles need like 5x the usual counts (i.e. 25 high quality crops per turnin)

[bright ocean]

and holy updates batman

[nocturne island]

I didn’t think that Non-Russians could also help Xdd Thanks!! I'm glad that there is such a responsive community

[bright ocean]

Mine's not necessarily 5x everything, but there's several modes you can pick from

[carmine kayak]

Is it on nexus?

[bright ocean]

Yep

[carmine kayak]

Time to find it lol

[bright ocean]

(Strobe, left a reply)

It's literally called Minerva's Harder Community Center Bundles XD Not hard to find at all, I promise

[dire fractal]

Thanks, Minerva

[bright ocean]

Without them updating, we have no idea of what's really going on >_>

[lapis void]

i know exactly what it is actually

had the same exact crash

it's baby gender interface

[bright ocean]

Isn't that Faith's?

[carmine kayak]

That looks pretty good. More thorough and such. Does it modify the last bundle or include more 1.4 goods? Any compatibility with more artisan goods?

[lapis void]

yeah, they're using both but family planning does the same thing

when it happened to me (also krobus) i was able to narrow it to baby gender interface

[bright ocean]

I added the lost bundle, yeah. And if by more artisan goods you mean PPJA, yep (i'm a team lead for PPJA)

[lapis void]

(also i absolutely swear i replied to this last night but maybe it was a similar post?? wtf)

[carmine kayak]

Crap @bright ocean dont do that to me

[bright ocean]

You want more challenge and a reason to play beyond year 1? You got it 😄

[carmine kayak]

See I'm all for it. I've also been doing a thing with my playthroughs where each better tier of footwear I add 1 speed boost per. So Space boots give 4 speed. Helps speed things up.

Might even try prismatic tools with that. I think the prismatic sprinkler is compatible with better sprinklers.

[bright ocean]

it is, except you can't expand the range of the prismatic ones

[carmine kayak]

Hm wonder if I could add it into the config

[bright ocean]

Nope, I've fiddled around with it in the code to see how it works. It should pick up the prismatic ones, but doesn't for some reason

you can edit the range of the prismatic ones in its own config though

[carmine kayak]

Aha

Hm that might be the ticket then. Just wish the shop menus were ordered better with more seeds and such

[bright ocean]

Better Shop Menu!

[carmine kayak]

Are there any really outstanding skill mods?

Goddamnit stop being so helpful

:)

[bright ocean]

Luck Skill, Cooking Skill, and Magic are the three custom ones, and they have work with Skill Prestige via adapters

(i'm a well known mod hoarder XD)

[carmine kayak]

Got the first two, magic huh

I am using my own modified all skills config. Instead of getting all the skills at 10, you sequentially unlock them slowly, so you yet a skill every 2 levels or so. But I may remove that and try prestige.

I debated reinstalling expanded but I hated how the new npcs dont have seasonal clothing. I'm petty but hot damn if I dont like seasonal attire.

[bright ocean]

XD I can't play with DSVO now myself

It's so weird to play on Switch

[carmine kayak]

Dsvo?

Oh

Dynamic seasonal.village outfits

[bright ocean]

Diverse Seasonal Villager Outfits actually

[carmine kayak]

I've got regular but maybe might try diverse

[bright ocean]

We're still trying to get through all of our new sprites and outfits for the big 2.0 update, but we do have both the diverse and vanilla options 😄 Para works with us for the SVO version

[carmine kayak]

I think the bundles and ppja with magic ought to work. Also try prestige

Thank you
