you can ask steam to open a game's location for you

if you go into stardew valley -> properties -> local files -> browse local files
vernal cipher
what
torn mason
it will open your game folder
daring wagon
Ok. We'll scrap that idea for now. Cherry has a good idea for letting you find it through Steam.
molten rivet
This came up
torn mason
nice! See that Mods folder? drop the content patcher folder in there
almost every mod you find you just need to unzip it, then drag it into that folder
vernal cipher
almost every mod you find you just need to unzip it, then drag it into that folder
@torn mason Exactly
for example @molten rivet
this is my Mods folder
shhhh
don't tell anyone
Connie, whenever you download a mod, just unzip its content and drop the resulting folder into that Mods folder, it is plain flat and simple
molten rivet
I moved it into the Mods folder
daring wagon
Want to screenshot that for us ConniePony, just to check? It's not so easy the first time you do it, guys! XD
vernal cipher
Yes, always remember PrintScreen key is your friend
also, alt + Printscreen does marvelous things
molten rivet
vernal cipher
and you can control + v the screenshot directly into discord 
connie, now you need to extract the zip
molten rivet
Im not saving the photos, just coping them anyways
daring wagon
Ok, that is almost there, but not quite. Can you drag the content patcher folder out onto your desktop and doubleclick it?
vernal cipher
@molten rivet that is a zip file, it is not the folder you and we want. The folder you want is inside of it.
molten rivet
Ok, next?
daring wagon
Now take the folder inside the window that just opened and drag it back into your mods folder.
Then give us another screenshot just to make sure ๐
molten rivet
Sorry, I dont get you
vernal cipher
this last screenshot you posted here, it shows a zip file. inside of the zip file is the folder you need.
daring wagon
No worries! Did you doubleclick that folder I told you to drag out? And did a window open?
molten rivet
yes
daring wagon
Awesome! What's in the window?
limpid creek
@vernal cipher See the nexus messages, I've explained multiple times how to do it there.
molten rivet
Nothing other than this
vernal cipher
the nexus forums are a mess, by the way, if it would not be a hassle, all comprehensive info should be on the mod page or the github
daring wagon
That's the one you want! See how the one you screenshotted before had a little zipper on the side of the yellow folder to the left of "ContentPatcher" and this one doesn't?
molten rivet
Yes?
daring wagon
That's how we could tell.
Now you can just take that ContentPatcher and drag it back over to your mods folder
molten rivet
Done
daring wagon
Then screenshot that for us again if you don't mind
molten rivet
daring wagon
Perfect! You can delete the one on your desktop now, you won't need that one again.
molten rivet
Gone
daring wagon
Now you can go download Medieval Buildings. You'll need to put it in that Mods folder too.
molten rivet
daring wagon
That looks great! Now you should be able to run the game and the buildings will look different.
molten rivet
so load stardew valley?
daring wagon
Yep.
daring wagon
That's good, that's supposed to happen
vernal cipher
can we mod without the smapi console?
molten rivet
!!!!!
vernal cipher
console actually makes applications slower
daring wagon
Woooohoooo it worked!!! Congrats ConniePony!
vernal cipher
congratz, you are now a modded player!
always remember to backup your save files when modding
some mods can mess with savegame
torn mason
with regards to that, SMAPI comes with a save backup mod, so just make sure not to remove it ^
molten rivet
I may download another mod. Probs a pet mod
daring wagon
Sounds good. It should be the same process you just did for most mods.
molten rivet
I may be asking these things for a couple times, i have a bad memory, but i will quickly get the hand of it
daring wagon
@outer dew Medieval Buildings ๐

does anyone know why vintage interface doesn't fully work on the title screen? this is with no other mods so it's not a conflict

Hello I have a question
fervent smelt
there is such a mode Depreciated - Content Patcher Template - NPC Template
molten rivet
fervent smelt
how to use
outer dew
daring wagon
@fervent smelt are you wanting to make a new NPC?
fervent smelt
yes
molten rivet
Any good mods?
daring wagon
@chrome scroll I've never used that one, but it's gorgeous! Looks like the mod author says it's old and to use her updated version instead.
@fervent smelt yes that mod is for making NPCs, it's not an NPC in itself
lol @dire fractal he'll have to fight my cat then. Hang on a sec, lots of people asking questions, going in order
daring wagon
No, I wouldn't say it's easy to make a new NPC. But you can ask in #making-mods-general
molten rivet
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4705
Last mod for today im abusing the power
daring wagon
@fervent smelt I'm guessing you probably want to download a different kind of mod. Maybe start with another custom NPC and see if you like what they add to the game? There are several on Nexus. One that doesn't seem to have many bugs or conflicts with other mods is College Boy Mike-you could try that to start!
daring wagon
@dire fractal are you trying to join a multiplayer server?

@daring wagon okey thank you
daring wagon
@molten rivet it's ok! That's a normal message on Nexus. You can still download it. Click Manual Download
molten rivet
It wont let me, i always press manual
molten rivet
I press manual, but it just shows a gear for a second before saying the same thing
daring wagon
@dire fractal ok, sorry, I don't know much about multiplayer so I don't know how to find that. I would check the wiki first
daring wagon
No, Sophia is a SVE character so I don't think you can add her without SVE
And also a thing to note is that farmhands cannot marry custom NPCs in multiplayer, which is a thing I think to mention whenever someone wants to add Sophia to a multiplayer game!!
fervent smelt
I don't have friends to play many games
daring wagon
@molten rivet it just says that sometimes. Gwen said to click Slow Download. Can you try that?
molten rivet
It doesn't even put me into that menu, It just loads for a second before showing the same thing
daring wagon
Haha sorry Boph I got you mixed up with Maczon-there are so many people in this channel today!
molten rivet
And i also press slow download bc i i dont have a membership to Nexus
fervent smelt
Haha sorry Boph I got you mixed up with Maczon-there are so many people in this channel today!
@daring wagon it does not matter
daring wagon
That should have worked. Try refreshing the page?
molten rivet
Tried that too
fervent smelt
@daring wagon Where are you from
molten rivet
Also what if one day I want to get a certain mod to stop? How should I do that
daring wagon
@molten rivet I have a free account too and I just downloaded it after downloading several others today. The only thing I can think of is to try one more time. Sometimes it just shows that message, but it means that the speed of your download is going to be a few seconds slower than if you paid for it.
You can go to your mods folder and put a . in front of the name of the mod you want to stop
If you want all your mods to stop, you can go through the uninstall process on the wiki
@fervent smelt I'm from the US
molten rivet
It just shows the same thing
Wait, apperantly its split in two, and one of them is working, but the other isn't
daring wagon
Maybe the website's just kinda slow today. But you're doing the right thing ๐
molten rivet
Nvm, I had to download those two seperatly
daring wagon
And I don't generally play multiplayer, Boph, but there's a channel for that! #multiplayer-lfg-old
restive kernel
is it possible to download and apply mods with a save that youve already been playing on? 
or do you have to download them and then make a save file to have them work
daring wagon
Yes! That is possible. I made a whole new one when I first started, but it's completely unnecessary.
except for some mods maybe and those will probably tell you
restive kernel
ah okay, i have a save file that i have about 10 hours on, if i set up a mod or 2 now, will they work on that save
daring wagon
Depends on the mod, but probably ๐
restive kernel
ok cool, thanks for the help :))
torn mason
I can't actually recall of a single mod that can't be added into a save part-way, but some just have extra steps you need to take

So this may be a stupid question, in before someone goes "there's no such thing as a stupid question" yeah yeah, okay. So. I found this beautiful seasonal building mod but I also installed the fairy overgrown buildings mod as well, would it mess up anything ?
keen moss
You can use something like Customize Exterior to pick and choose how each building appears. But as a CP pack you can't use them together as the last one to load is what will be reflected in the game
rose python
Thank you for answering! @keen moss

Having some issues getting the JA Kisekae Skirts mod working. They're showing up in the CJB Item Menu but when I put them on, it looks like I'm not wearing anything.
daring wagon
!log Someone was just saying that a few nights ago! I don't think we found a fix for their issue, but I could probably tell you if it's just a loading issue.
native dragonBOT
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

Also, when I start the game through smapi, there's writing in purple that says "you can update _____" does that mean there is update for the mods or ?
onyx nebula
And this is what the folder looks like
rose python
rain lava
@rose python Most likely. It lists all the mods and links so you can check if there is an update. Sometimes a modder could make mistake when writing manifest but it's rare
rose python
Ahh, thank you @rain lava I am struggling to copy and paste the link however.
native dragonBOT
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

daring wagon
@onyx nebula that mod is adorable and I am loving the screenshots. I'm still reading through the details on your log, promise I did not just disappear ๐
onyx nebula
No worries haha
daring wagon
Oh dear. When I try to open the png files in that mod, they look a little... weird. Do you know where to find those?
onyx nebula
The ones in the Kisekae mod? Yeah, I have the folder pulled up
daring wagon
I see squares and faint lines when I open the pngs and that says something went wrong with my download to me, but I'm not super sure.
I did just see a message in the posts that says you need to create a folder in mods and put those in there as the mod author set it up an unusual way initially
*those-the manifest and the Pants folder
onyx nebula
I currently have them in a folder called [JA] Kisekae Skirts. Should I make a different folder and put them in there instead?
daring wagon
Seems like the right thing to do to me.
Back to looking at the pngs then
do they actually look like the skirts/pants/stuff to you?
fervent minnow
Is there a mod that allows me to change or map controller keys? It's allowing me to use Xbox controller but not PS4
onyx nebula
@daring wagon yes on my end they look like skirts/pants/etc
peak hound
Can some1 help me in a private call to install starduw vcalley expanded
daring wagon
Well I am stumped! Sometimes JA things overwrite other JA things. If you want to spend an afternoon troubleshooting, you could try disabling mods one at a time to figure out if that is your issue. You can also check out the messages from farmer cass in this channel from July 24 to see if it's the same issue you were having and figure out if they fixed it
Also maybe someone who knows a little more will be around later-lurking in this channel often pays off if you see someone who looks knowledgeable pop in!
onyx nebula
I'll try deleting some stuff, see if that's causing the issue. Thank you for looking though, I really appreciate it!
daring wagon
@fervent minnow I don't think you can use mods on PS4 at all, sorry
@onyx nebula You also have a couple things in your log in general that you might want to update, etc-the one thing in particular I noticed was downloading Bus Locations for Garden Village, cause that mod is awesome XD
onyx nebula
I keep forgetting to redownload that, thanks for the reminder! ๐
A couple of them I can't as they either send me to the wrong link or there isn't an updated folder.
daring wagon
Geh. That's annoying. I edited a few of those mods so they'd stop spamming my log, but yeah a lot of logs have those. I know the strawberry syrup one for sure ๐
@peak hound I can't do a call right now, but if you are going through the steps on the install page for SVE and you run into a problem with one of them, you can definitely post in here and someone will probably be able to help you with it!
peak hound

native dragonBOT
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
daring wagon
@peak hound can you take a screenshot of your mod folder and put it here? Wondering if something went wrong with the installation, SVE can be tricky to install for the first time
daring wagon
@peak hound Yeah I see it, I'm looking at it against the install instructions
Yeah you are missing some pieces
hang on maybe not
Hmm, that looks right except that the mods SMAPI normally installs are not in there. That shouldn't affect SVE as far as I know, but maybe try with those installed?
those would be SaveBackup and ConsoleCommands
Also are you using SVE in a different language? Sometimes those are not up to date and things go a little funny
fervent minnow
@daring wagon No no, I'm on PC. Trying to use a PS4 controller but it doesn't automatically recognize the same way Xbox controllers do.
daring wagon
Ahh. I've never played with a controller, so I'm not sure. I'd lurk around this channel until someone who knows a little more comes on and then point back up to your question ๐ sorry I can't help!
onyx nebula
@daring wagon got it figured out, one of my bigger clothing mods was overwriting the Kisekae skirts. Took it out and now it's working fine
daring wagon
Woot!! Glad that worked XD

Did you go to the link in the Governor message above? โฌ๏ธ There's instructions on that page

Hmm, I'm not sure if this is a game issue or mod issue, but when I click on my save file, I'm stuck on the loading screen. There was nothing red in the log.
fair vessel
It can definitely be a mod issue
Like if the code of some mod accidentally makes an infinite loop, it will hang forever and not do anything

!log
native dragonBOT
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
heavy sail
I send the log in a sec, but first I just have to say:
Of course this issue starts after I fixed the issue where the game wouldn't save.
heavy sail
I'm just surprised that out of my 374 mods, the game still runs, especially on my average laptop.
royal arrow
The only error you have is about missing QF for Ayeisha 
None of your mods stand out to me as super old (which would be the first suspects), but hopefully Jonqora or someone else more knowledgeable can help lol
daring wagon
Oh sweet Ayeisha is the postwoman Limey made!! I didn't know she was out!!!
fair vessel
I dug into the Trace logs, no clues to why it got stuck :/
royal arrow
BaKyu~N! what happened the day prior, do you know? Maybe you can temporarily roll back a day and see if the issue is still there o:
I ask about the day before because I wonder if something happened then and that caused the game to go brr on trying to load
heavy sail
So at first the issue was with Multiple Spouses and TMX Loader, but then I uninstalled MS and reverted a day, but I'll try using the save-backups folder too.
royal arrow
were you uh, married to multiple spouses already? and then removed the mod?
fair vessel
Pong 1.1.1 Cat no errors
royal arrow
that might not be bueno (not the Pong thing lol)
fair vessel
why did you install this one lol 
It replaces the game, with Pong
That might be your problem
royal arrow
it replaces the whole game? I thought it added an arcade game for pong
fair vessel
Oh? But it's the version matching the original Pong?
Ohhhhhh
I see, never mind then haha
daring wagon
That one is hilarious! I was so tempted
royal arrow
but yea, were you already married to multiple people, then removed multiple spouses? o.o
fair vessel
Cat's original Pong replaces the game I thought the Arcade version took its place, didn't know it's an add-on
heavy sail
@royal arrow Nope, I reverted to before then (I think).
I could go back and double check to make sure.
fair vessel
hmm. That might be a good idea
heavy sail
I'll try that then. Be right back.
cursive wharf
Hello? I am attempting to mod this lovely game and I'm wondering if anyone has a clue to aid me.
Firstly, I got SDV Expanded, but the mod folders look strange, not sure if they should I got everything it said I needed too - When launching the game, the Debris on my farm is the same as if it was a standard farm.
Second - For some reason, launching the game via SMAPI through steam I did the copy paste, it resets all my settings each time. Sound, Resolution, Fullscreen or no, keybinds, etc.
fair vessel
Did you also download the IF2R file? SVE doesn't change the farm map without it
IF2R is another download on the mod page
cursive wharf
Am I allowed to SS the Folder of mods?
fair vessel
of course ๐
cursive wharf
This is the ones I got. Oh that was longer than I thought
peak hound
any know how to set a wider range on the tracktor mod
fair vessel
for the settings reset, try deleting your startup_preferences
daring wagon
@heavy sail Question for when you're done: does helpful spouses work without having to reload from the title screen like helpforhire? Cause I am just about done with that -_-
fair vessel
(in %appdata%/StardewValley on Windows)
royal arrow
m2ta, if you go to the Tractor mod page on nexus, there should be a link to the readme that includes details on how to modify the config
peak hound
ok
native dragonBOT

@daring wagon Huh, it worked fine for me.

Oh, the bot
fair vessel
The link has instructions, just grab your latest log
yeah

peak hound
whats the def keybind for the Generic Mod Config Menu
outer turret
I just rearranged my JA into one folder (knowing it can mess up producer goods) and discovered I've made Pistachio Ice Cream Essential Oil. Now I don't know about you, but that sounds wonderful.
cursive wharf
Updated Custom rn for the record, don't know how it wasn't updated
fair vessel
@peak hound if i understood your question right, GMCM doesn't have a keybind. You need to use it from the icon on the main title screen menu
peak hound
ooh
fair vessel
(lots of mods have config settings that would mess stuff up majorly if changed mid-day, so it only allows config changes when a save is not currently loaded)
@cursive wharf Everything seems to be loading correctly so far from the log you posted,
Though that log session doesn't include loading a game or starting a new save - could you maybe try that and post a new log?
cursive wharf
trying rn, while also trying to not go deaf
fair vessel
Also might be helpful to share a screenshot of what you're seeing
(Did you choose Standard farm layout when making a new save? I think IF2R requires the standard layout)
cursive wharf
Alright, the new farm and appropriate debris appear to have loaded in properly! The trees and stuffs are now all over
heavy sail
Ok @fair vessel, this time it's displaying the real reason why it won't work. I'll send a new log.
outer turret
is there anyway to make my own vinegar? About to start brewing up some death sauce I reckon. although I"m not sure it's good value for money?
fair vessel
Maybe a mod ๐ค
royal arrow
Wine to Vinegar is a PFM mod available on Nexus!
I personally modified mine to take beer instead
heavy sail
@outer turret There's another mod that adds a big craftable called Vinegar Cask that makes vinegar.
I think it was Artisan Valley.
outer turret
(oh wait, it's terrible value for money given it takes 10 black peppers and 10 red peppers and sells for 777g
oh yes, vinegar cask, pretty sure I actually have that. So many Artisan machines!
and 10 black peppers sell for 930g
royal arrow
(that's kind of why I've stayed away from Artisan Valley, I'm sure it's great, but's a lot of stuff ๐ )
cursive wharf
The settings also somehow appear to be saving appropriately.
Does anyone have a trick for avoiding going deaf on the mainmenu aside from using the windows volume mixer instead of the ingame one? There is no option to lower sound outside of a loaded save, that I can find
outer turret
honestly, it's a little overwelming. I'm never going to make all these recipes since I can't even remember what I need for them
at least I have automate now
fair vessel
Saw someone else with the same volume trouble recently, and yes windows volume mixer was the only way we found
daring wagon
Automate is such a lifesaver
heavy sail
@royal arrow Especially when you use Garden Village.
royal arrow
Yea I find myself wanting to do more complex things with Automate, but I haven't dug into the documentation yet
outer turret
I can't actually remember if I've triggered Shane's blue chicken scene
cursive wharf
Windows Volume Mixer it is! OH WAIT-... I think I may have used that previously as well, and the reason it changed for SMAPI is because the game loads via a new .exe -... Probably. Gotta dig into that. Thank you for your aid!
royal arrow
See I want to use Garden Village, but I'd want to both be able to walk to it and take the bus to it, but alas, I cannot have both, so I settle for none 
outer turret
sweet I have. So why haven't I triggered my latest event? What conditions have I set on it that I haven't yet fulfilled...
daring wagon
You can too @royal arrow !
outer turret
(it IS pretty condition heavy)
royal arrow
I thought it was one or the other O: ?!
Well. When I say walk, I mean the one that auto warps you, not walk to the desert o.o
daring wagon
You do have to download walk to the desert/walk to garden village along with garden village, but yes you can walk or take the bus
ahhhhh
royal arrow
Yea I have gotten used to getting my PPJA stuff right away from day 1, and I can't do that with walk to the desert plus the bus
daring wagon
I like walk to the desert-it's pretty cute and there's a new NPC XD
outer turret
If I look in my save file, does it tell me which events I've seen? OR can I figure it out from Console Commands?
outer turret
Because I restart my days 10000 times, I can't actually remember what I've seen and saved on!
daring wagon
I am pretty sure you can type a console command for that
royal arrow
Yea I want to try it, and someday I might my concern is that it, by definition, takes forever yea lol not as convenient as stopping by Pierre's
Lemurkat, yea I think there's a command for it
daring wagon
I can get to the desert in WTD before Pam gets to the bus stop, so it's not a super long walk. 1 hr to GV and 2-3 to Desert?
royal arrow
(My face when there's a command to mark an event as seen, and any time I've needed to see an event for testing, I suffer through it 
)
daring wagon
Also I keep forgetting I have my horse. though you did just make a mod for that....
ashen elbow
ah
royal arrow
For mine, I mean vanilla lol
outer turret
oh those I sometimes skip just because I've seen them a few (many) times already
royal arrow
Right, exactly lol
heavy sail

I know I haven't updated them, but they've never caused any problems.
heavy sail
The issue kinda started after I tried giving Krobus the void ghost pendant through Multiple Spouses.
fair vessel
Hmmm. Spouse room problem ๐ค
cursive wharf
How do I use a console command via smapi? just type in the 'cmd' box while the game is open?
ashen elbow
yeah
cursive wharf
A sweet, thanks
fair vessel
I dunno. The mod is so popular, I would have guessed someone else would try with Krobus before ๐ค
heavy sail
Nah, it works with Krobus too. But it broke when trying to build his room.
fair vessel
What other spouses did you have besides Krobus?
heavy sail
Only Sebastian.
heavy sail
Maybe I should try reverting it again, I seem to have chose the wrong folder in save-backups, but idk really.
fair vessel
So there's FarmHouse.loadSpouseRoom, that is patched by TMXLoader that is having trouble.
I wonder if the game (and TMXL) has special coding for Krobus's room that might break if he's treated as a spouse and not exactly as a roommate the way the vanilla game has
ashen elbow
yeah. krobus is kinda wonky
fair vessel
In any case, you might want to report this with the log(s) on the Multiple Spouses mod page
ashen elbow
does krobus sleep in the bed in vanilla?
fair vessel
He does not
That definitely points to some odd behaviour added by Multiple Spouses
(if he does)
heavy sail
I reported it a few days ago, so I think I know what's causing it. It's probably because I have mods that edit the farmhouse (CustomizeChildBedroom & Bathroom after 2nd House upgrade).
I tried deleting Customize Child Bedroom, but that didn't help.
heavy sail
I'll try reverting my save with that save-backups folder, be right back.
fervent minnow
Does anyone know of a mod that makes enemies do more damage? I don't mean the hardcore mods as those don't seem to make much difference to my file and everything hits me for 1 HP at the moment
royal arrow
are you using other mods that are affecting the combat? or defense stats?
fervent minnow
Not to my knowledge that I haven't already deleted. Only 'combat' mod I used was the one that lets you attack in your click direction. (Which I have since deleted anyway)
daring wagon
How about CJB cheats menu? I am pretty sure it does something like that, but that's a setting you can just fix
royal arrow
yea the only combat mod I know of makes enemies hit you for less, which is the opposite you want
I think CJB Cheats Menu only has options to nerf the combat, which is the opposite of what MrMan wants o:
daring wagon
๐ sorry I meant maybe that's why he's only getting hit for 1 hp, unless that was an exaggeration
royal arrow
oh that makes sense, I misread your message lol

I have that mod but don't use it so I do not think that's the case unfortunately

@fair vessel I decided to restart my computer, because now it just freezes when trying to load, but it fixed the TMXL error.
royal arrow
are you using a mod manager by any chance, @vale jungle?
vale jungle
no
fervent minnow
fair vessel
I found the other person who had the issue. We never got a fix, but they suspected it was Another Hunger Mod (something that buffs defense). The problem persisted even after uninstalling. Did you ever use that mod?
fervent minnow
Yes I use that now actually
royal arrow
@vale jungle this may seem like an obvious question, but are you sure you've got your mods in your Mods folder?
fair vessel
We suspected it might have changed something in the save file, but they weren't able to share their save for investigation.
If you can share your save file, I'd be happy to take a look.
restive depot
vale jungle
@royal arrow yes, im sure
fair vessel
@restive depot >.> are you using a pirated SDV copy
restive depot
yes i dont have money ๐ฆ
fair vessel
We can't provide help here, then. I'm sorry.
royal arrow
Jonqora, any ideas on why SMAPI would not load mods even when they're in the Mods folder I: ?
fervent minnow
So I should not use Another Hunger mod then or is no way to fix otherwise even if I do delete it? 
fair vessel
There might be a way to fix, but uncertain. If you share your save file (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves) we might find an answer
daring wagon
@vale jungle you're not using the most updated version of SMAPI, maybe try updating that?
fair vessel
But yeah, you would probably need to uninstall the mod (and report the bug on the mod page)
Jonqora, any ideas on why SMAPI would not load mods even when they're in the Mods folder I: ?
@royal arrow botched installation (installed from game folder, or updated with mod manager?), multiple copies of SDV, or multiple copies of smapi
vale jungle
@vale jungle you're not using the most updated version of SMAPI, maybe try updating that?
@daring wagon thank you!!!! ill try that now
fervent minnow
I'll check on a load without it and if it persists I'll upload a save. But honestly if it can be fixed by just starting a new file I'm not completely opposed to that
fair vessel
Ah, that's fair if you haven't got very far in
I'd still be curious to take a look, just to gain knowledge I can use to help whoever next has this issue! 
fervent minnow
I bought a horse pretty much and that was it lol
Yeah because the hunger mod is like 80% of the reason I am playing :(
Or at least something like it but I dont know of any others
fair vessel
@royal arrow botched installation (installed from game folder, or updated with mod manager?), multiple copies of SDV, or multiple copies of smapi
I suspect installation problems are to blame if even the bundled Console Commands and Save Backup are missing
royal arrow
True o:
I didn't even know you could install SMAPI from the game folder, I thought it just said "NO ๐ฅ" and then people get frustrate
ashen elbow
o
fair vessel
@fervent minnow I see that Another Hunger mod says it has most things configurable. If there's a way to disable the defense buff, that might allow you to keep using it without issue
vale jungle
that fixed it @daring wagon thank you!!!
cursive wharf
I fiddled and touched some things, and turns out windows volume mixer was 'to blame' for my sudden case of deafness.
When first installing/launching SMAPI, you use a different exe than playing unmodded, hence, you must change the mixer again
daring wagon
That's really good to know, thanks for coming back and telling us!!
hazy leaf
did bfav update at all?
cursive wharf
Now if only i could force it to run 1920x1080 by default...
royal arrow
there's that sweet unofficial update that's been around for a while, fellowclown, but other than that, no, not to my knowledge o:
fervent minnow
@fair vessel I'm gonna have to LOL I just tried loading the save without the hunger mod and I still take 1 damage from everything but on a new file it's fine :(
fair vessel
Yeah, that's what the other person experienced
Darn, no config setting to eliminate just the defense buff
You'd have to set it to eliminate all positive buffs
fervent minnow
How do we know it is a defense buff thing
fair vessel
Because defense affects how much damage you take when hit
speed and attack would have no effect
fervent minnow
Ouch
fair vessel
can you share the save? If I can find what part of the savefile is affected, it will also help the mod author to find what needs fixing in the mod itself
fast river
(Next version eliminates defense buff)
Although... I thought I already published that version?
Yeah, Another Hunger Mod 1.1.0 doesn't have the defense buff
fervent minnow
It looks like the one on Chucklefish from nov2019 does, but I am using the Nexus version from jun2019
I did not realize there was a newer one lol
fair vessel
Any idea how to fix this on an existing save, Space? Cause the problem persists even after the mod is uninstalled
cursive wharf
Does anyone know an 'easy' way how to force this game into 1920x1080? My resolution option is greyed out, and doing it in the startup_prefs seems to do nothing
fair vessel
If you want more zoom range, you can try Zoom Level Keybinding mod
heavy sky
so an update on the bug i reported yesterday, where the game skips a day after skill increases... just had that bug occur with a single skill increase, but this time it occured when i had reached level 10 with a skill, and had to choose an ability... after this, my assumption is that it isn't caused by multiple skill increases per day, but by increasing a skill to a level where you get to choose a profession
cursive wharf
Yeah I know the zoom out and in thing, I just get peeved when it's not running my native screen rez
fast river
I don't know. Let me poke around in the game's source for a moment

i love how casual that is, yknow, casually poking around in the game's source

Well it's the almighty space. I think he lives in the code o:

(while you're here space... we suspected this other bug may be from a conflict from SpaceCore doing skill stuff combined with Sleepless in Stardew mod staying up til 5am)
fast river
Does it happen with any skill or just custom skills?
heavy sky
actually, i'm not sure what causes it anymore
fervent minnow
I am confused. Now after using the nov2019 Chucklefish version the hunger meter is gone entirely lol idk
heavy sky
because i just reviewed my video again, and in the video i made no profession choice occurs
it's possible it could be an or thing
multiple skill increases or profession choosing
heavy sky
also, tbh i don't know how spacecore and sleepless work well enough to say for sure if they could conflict like that, you guys would probably know better then i would
fervent minnow
But now I randomly start taking 1 damage no matter where I am and no enemies 
fast river
How full is the hunger bar?
I've never heard of Sleepless in Stardew, so I'll have to look into how that works
fervent minnow
Was maxed I'll check again
fast river
It sounds like it's empty ๐
Yeah, there's a field in the save <resilience> that needs resetting
It normally has a value equal to your boots defense value (+5 if you have ring 810 equipped)
fervent minnow
Okay yeah it was empty lol but still getting the 1 dmg from all enemies I think
Tbh this wouldn't be a problem if I could limit my HP to the single digits kinda like Zelda hearts or actual hit count lol
fast river
What did you set it to? Make sure it was the one in your Farmer instance and not an NPc or something
heavy sky
well, games work different ways and are generally designed for the world you're in so
fervent minnow
What did I set what to?
fast river
The resilience tag
fervent minnow
Oh, how would I go about changing that?
My apologies I thought you were going back and forth with someone else's issue there
royal arrow
you can edit the save file in Notepad++ but I think you may have to do somethin special for it to work well, because my Notepad++ often goes ๐ฅ when I'm in the middle of doing it lol
fast river
Yeah, I use Notepad++ too. You can search for <resilience> and usually the first instance is your player
fervent minnow
Which file am I going through to access my save info in Notepad++ to do this again?
Is the save in some appdata bull? Lol
fast river
Whichever one is for your save that is broken. It would be in (on Windows) %APPDATA%\StardewValley\Saves. There's a folder like CharName_123456789 for each save, and then a file named the same thing inside the folder
fervent minnow
Yep
outer turret
Hey Space, Jonqora has just helped me by writing code for an NPC bug and we (well Kdau and I) were wondering if it might be worth adding to Custom NPC fixes
outer turret
basically, if you marry a custom NPC that shares a name partly with another NPC then they stop talking: In my case, marrying Jasper rendered Jas mute.
fast river
No, change 70 to the defense value of your boots
(Or take off your boots before saving and set it to 0)
fervent minnow
I don't think I have boots equipped tbh
Okay that seems to have fixed it
Much obliged my friend! 
So do I need to change the resilience value each time I change or remove my boots?
fast river
No, just update Another Hunger Mod to 1.1.0 and you'll be fine ๐
cursive wharf
I've googled and googled-... So, I'm trying to make a SDVExpanded Multiplayer Farm. It says everywhere it's multiplayer friendly, but never mentions which option I should pick for my cabin placements, closeby or far away?
dire fractal
Nobody wants to play with me? -;
royal arrow
Hi there, I see you've already posted in #multiplayer-lfg-old, that's the right place to ask!
cursive wharf
Can my farmhand live in my house with me to begin with, and we can build them a cabin later?
royal arrow
@cursive wharf I don't use SVE, but when you say options, do you mean in the config file? As someone who doesn't use SVE, it would seem like you can put the cabins wherever? You need the cabins first though, to have someone join you on an existing save
that much I know about multiplayer o.o
cursive wharf
Nah, I mean when starting a multiplayer file, it tells you to pick Cabin Placement like this, and there's no info on which one is suitable for SVE
royal arrow
Ah! I think it's up to personal preference, tbh o: but again, I don't use SVE, so I could be totally wrong on that
cursive wharf
I don't want my Cabin to end up somewhere inaccessible or 'wonky' is all, considering the map changes with immersive farm
daring wagon
I think you can make a save with no starting cabins and have Robin build one. Sorry, I play with SVE, but not multiplayer, so... not sure either
outer turret
I've feeling quite pleased, i've reorganized my mod files and now they look all neat and tidy.
now to see how much rearranging the load order has broken things...
cursive wharf
I have decided to make 2 testing files and report my findings
outer turret
(on the plus side my red sword has gone back to being red instead of green - but let's hope I haven't broken the ES warp)
(alas, it broke Athanaeri corner)
(I had previously edited my map for Boarding House entrace, so it's probably patching over Athanaeri.
cursive wharf
Report number one, with close cabins!
outer turret
I've added a few dependencies to ES which will hopefully stop some mods over-writing its warps.
royal arrow
that looks cute~! I'm thinking I might end up starting my SVE playthrough soon, even though I haven't progressed in my current playthrough because I've been too busy modding lol
outer turret
yeh, modding kinda stops playing!
(or makes you groundhog day so often you think you've completed heart events when you haven't)
Also it appears Lyell, SVO, Fresh Meat, Custom Music and a couple of others haven't updated their manifests with their last updates.
cursive wharf
Report number two, with far Cabins!
I am unable to find any cabins at all, near, far, or otherwise, unless they are hiding in the areas restricted by higher level tools!
fair vessel
Lol that's hilarious
Try visiting Robin and see if there's an option to move buildings, if they're hiding somewhere?
fair vessel
Probably ahha
royal arrow
I love your totally chill description of the issue, ๐ฟ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐คฃ
cursive wharf
Ah.
I have further investigated the option of Far Cabins, and after extensive searching via Robins Map-Hack-Tool, I have concluded that
- I am mildly upset with myself for spoiling the 'Restricted Sections' contents, but mainly:
- The Cabins do not exist.
Thus, I hereby conclude for future people in need of this answer, with SVE in Multiplayer, you are to select 'Near' Cabins, or your Cabins will decide to either cease to exist, or highly unlikely, but I did not explore the Map outside have decided to move off your Farm.
royal arrow
Would you mind also posting that to the SVE mod comments on nexus, that you have to select "near" for the cabins? This is extra but it would be helpful 
cursive wharf
I suspect the Cabins may have thought 'Far' meant 'Significantly Further Away than just the Farm'. Possibly the City, or a different Game such as HarvestMoon or Animal Crossing. I shall plant a comment in the mod page!
Comment Planted, I hereby proclaim this Investigation Complete.
outer turret
Jasper just gave me the stardrop swoons
royal arrow
Thank you for your ๐ ๐ต๐ฝ work, ๐ฟ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐!

I've also decided to give up on the resolution issue, because no amount of 'fixes' actually seem to well... Fix it
tepid hawk
Hey what's the mod that makes MARNIE do her dang job?
royal arrow
I assume you mean this one https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2559
tepid hawk
Maybe! I just want one where she is more reliable.
Or the ability to buy stuff if she isn't at work.
royal arrow
I personally use Self Service, lets you buy stuff from all shop owners even when they're not at the counter
Original mod (don't download this one, I provided it for screenshots and the mod description) https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1304
Unofficial update (download this one) https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/updating-mods-for-stardew-valley-1-4.156000/#post-3346341

Summer Hours here https://www.moddrop.com/stardew-valley/mods/605843-summer-hours
heavy sail
Ugh, I rolled back all the way to the Winter Star, the game still freezes. @fair vessel
tepid hawk
It's for the kiddo so I don't think I need to change the shop hours, but the self service is the one I was thinking of. So thank you!
royal arrow
you're welcome!
also as a side note, there is an optional year-round version of Summer Hours, which is the one I went with
heavy sail
At this point my next option is to reinstall SMAPI, that once fixed an issue where the game would freeze if the last session had red text.
fervent minnow
Is there any way to make the "Your dog brought you a gift" head icon match the black Shiba head from Elle's Dog Replacements?
I see the issue is that the 'catGift' mod calls the dog's head icon directly from the catDogicons.xml, whereas Elle's Dog Replacements uses CP method, I assume that's why
heavy sail
@fair vessel These are the mods that may be causing the issue, since it started 7/26.
fair vessel
Ooof. I'm really not sure then. You might have to do things the hard way and use process of elimination by disabling groups of mods at a time to see which ones are present when the problem happens
ashen elbow
yep
heavy sail
I feel like it's either Ayeisha or Slime Hutch to Menagerie. Not sure tho.
It was working fine when I was playing at like 1 am (est), but after I installed those two mods, the issue started.
tight tusk
i'm using slime hutch to menagerie, it works fine on me. but it might be probably conflicting with another mod of yours
heavy sail
Maybe Ayeisha then.
outer turret
Marnie does her job 5 days if the week. I dunno why everyone hates on her for having two days off and all.
heavy sail
Neither one of them. I'm just going to reinstall SDV at this point.
outer turret
What's the error message?
heavy sail
I know when it started, but I couldn't even narrow it down. I think it's a game issue.
@outer turret No error message.
outer turret
Just hanging of save with bo error?
royal arrow
I think it's the inconvenience, Lemurkat. We're used to video games being maximum convenient. That's why I love Self Service, it lets the NPCs lead their lives but I can still purchase stuff regardless
outer turret
It did that for me when I had chars scheduled to go to JojaMart but no jojamart.
What is fighting with NPCs?
heavy sail
@outer turret I think I know what it is now. I have an NPC mod ([CP] Florence Unofficial) with a schedule to go to JojaMart.
outer turret
Hardly anyone hates on Robin like they do on Marnie though.
Just set a Joja replacement on their schedule
heavy sail
Fighting with NPCs however didn't cause an issue.
outer turret
(Copy the text from um Pam maybe)
fast ruin
hi! im haveing an issue with a furry mod being that it requres you to replace files and that when i do the directions and start a new save it randomly choseses a new date to start off on rather than spring monday 1
ashen elbow
fighting with npcs lets you fight npcs lol
outer turret
Really? Like attack them?
heavy sail
Yup.
outer turret
And kill them?
fast ruin
its this mod
heavy sail
Not kill them, just beat them up.
outer turret
Who do you most enjoy beating up?
heavy sail
Pierre and Pam
outer turret
That's alright then
outer turret
Don't do it
fast ruin

Xnb files are bad
native dragonBOT
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).
outer turret
Esp if they are pre 1.4
heavy sail
But there is a CP version on that page.
outer turret
Install the content patcher version. Much safer!
heavy sail
Also @outer turret, How do I copy the text from Pam? Her schedule is an XNB. Should I just download an XNB unpacker?
outer turret
Ah right forgot about that. Maybe look at Jasper then?
Or I'll give you the details qhenni get home in 10 mins
heavy sail
Nah, it's good. I already have xnbcli. Just have to unzip it.
outer turret
I think it's just "JojaMartReplacement"
And then enter new map location and coords.
royal arrow
That's alright then
Actually laughed uncontrollably at this ๐คฃ
heavy sail
But I can't open my save file? How am I supposed to get the coordinates?
outer turret
Did u just finish community center?
heavy sail
No. It happened when Spring started. I've had the movie theater for 3 in-game years.
outer turret
Okay weird then.
heavy sail
It said his spring schedule was broken, so I'll try replacing the JojaMart with something else.
heavy sail
Yeah.
Also, I have an idea. I was going to unpack Kent's schedule and edit Florence's JojaMart schedule with his. Just have to reposition him so they don't clash.
outer turret
If you just do the jojamart replacement thing it just changes every joja coord for that
But if he hasnt crashed through winter?
heavy sail
Nope. Strangely enough, because he had the same schedule for winter, but he started crashing during spring.
sturdy coral
hey guys so im using the latest smapi with split screen mod that works for 1.4 and i got it to work, the only problem is i cant resize both screens
royal arrow
uhhh Multiple patches want to load Strings\schedules\Wizard (Looking for Love > Load Strings/schedules/Wizard #1, Looking for Love > Load Strings/schedules/Wizard #2). None will be applied.
I just installed Looking for Love for the first time, so idk how I messed this up o: Full log here: https://smapi.io/log/d72c5c6f25714af39552b9a4bc022fd7
The bunch of errors afterwards happened when I tried to talk to him o.o any ideas?
heavy sail
I know someone else had that issue, lemme check the page's comments.
@royal arrow 4th comment, there is a fix for it.
royal arrow
Thank you! Time to read 
heavy sail
@outer turret Fixed the schedule, all I need to do is test it.
sturdy coral
anyone use splitscreen mod and know how to resize the game window?
ashen elbow
only andorid
royal arrow
MaxLoku, some mods work on Android while others don't. You'll likely have to check the mod description and comments to see if it works with Android, because unfortunately there isn't a consolidated list
ashen elbow
but then again, some mods are uncompatible with android..
royal arrow
However, tenting is maintaining a work-in-progress list of mods they've tested for Android, it's here https://stardewvalleywiki.com/User:Tenting
sturdy coral
i guess no one knows how to help me with being able to resize
heavy sail
!log
native dragonBOT
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
heavy sail
If you're using the CP version, could you try uploading your log @fast ruin?
@outer turret Fixing his schedule fixed the issue.
outer turret
Woohoo! Glad I actually had the right answer!
sturdy coral
please....can someone help me, I cant seem to resize my game by mouse dragging method
heavy sail
It seems to work for me @sturdy coral. Do you use Windowed or Fullscreen Borderless?
sturdy coral
it starts up in windowed mode
when i drag it to make it smaller it just rubberbands back in place
heavy sail
Hmm, I've never seen something like that. Could you try reporting it in #vanilla-tech-support? That might be a game issue.
@fast ruin Your content files are broken, do you use Steam? I might be able to help.
royal arrow
Since they're using mods, they'll just be redirected here. They may just need to wait longer to get a response, not everyone is on at the same time
ashen elbow
yeah
royal arrow
If they can replicate the issue with no mods, that's a different story
ashen elbow
they should try without any mods, and see if it still has issues. if not, it's a porblem with the split screen mod im guessing
fast ruin
yes i do use stream @heavy sail
heavy sail
Does anyone know what's happening here? I use a lot of CP mods, but narrowing it down did nothing for me.
heavy sail
I barely have any mods that edit the farmhouse or cellar. The cellar just turned into two fuckin' sticks(?)
native dragonBOT
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
ashen elbow
ot soemthing
royal arrow
Uhhh do you have old CP mods, like pre-Nov 2019? They might break things o.o
heavy sail
@royal arrow Yes. But those are only for things besides the farmhouse.
outer turret
If the spouse room contains a custom tilesheet and the load order is changed...
Weird stuff happens.
heavy sail
But then there's Bathroom after 2nd House Upgrade, CP version hasn't been updated since 2018 (I think).
tight tusk
omg i had that effect too. i am using seasonal garden farmhouse 2, rustic interiors and who's greenhouse
outer turret
Anything that uses a custom tilesheet could be the culprit.
heavy sail
I'll check my modlist
outer turret
But edits the farmhouse
Could also be bathroom though
I did something like that with my spouse room and got chairs instead of stairs.
heavy sail
I've had the Bathroom mod for a while with no issues. Not sure what caused it.
tight tusk
hmm i am also using a custom spouse room that removes all their stuff so you can make it an empty room to decorate with
fast ruin
so i did the steps of the steam instructions and uninstolling and reinstalling the SMAPI file launcher
what now?
outer turret
You've had the cellar the whole time?
heavy sail
Yup. It just changed out of nowhere (I forgot when).
outer turret
Are you married ingame?
heavy sail
Yup.
outer turret
Spouse rooms kinda layer for custom npcs with the actual spouse one on top.
heavy sail
@fast ruin Did you do this? https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335
outer turret
I'd check every spouse room for custom nocs and see which one has changed the order of their tilesheets.
fast ruin
yes
outer turret
Ultimately it should be the one you are actually married to but it may not be.
I'd also see if I could identify what tilesheet png it was actually from.
Cos that would narrow it down.
heavy sail
Yeah I'm married to a Vanilla NPC but I'll check anyway. It may take a while, my computer's battery is kinda corrupted, gonna have to find a charger.
@fast ruin If you did that, It should work now. I've done it myself before.
ashen elbow
oh
heavy sail
No. It should work now if you did that.
sturdy coral
so i have tried it without mods and no, i still cannot resize in window mode
I QUIT
heavy sail
Try reporting it in #vanilla-tech-support if you haven't already.
sturdy coral
its dead in there
ashen elbow
just wait then,
sturdy coral
when is the help usually active?
daring wagon
we're all just players-not paid to do this, it's whoever isn't at work, etc
royal arrow
Did you try testing resizing without any mods, like Brie Chardonnay suggested? If it happens even with no mods installed, then you go to #vanilla-tech-support. That channel is for issues with no mods installed
daring wagon
They had been posting for about an hour and got sent from making mods, to here, to game support, to back here... I'd be a little frustrated too
but IDK how to fix that one for sure
royal arrow
Yea they posted about it 4 times in 20min, didn't even actually make it to the hour mark. I get that it's frustrating when you're having issues, but patience is a virtue, especially with mods
heavy sail
I agree @royal arrow, I had an issue that lasted about a month, but all I've been was patient.
fast ruin
still isnt working
royal arrow
I personally find it helpful to also just step back and go do something else if I've been trying to fix an issue for a while, because you best believe with 311+ mods, I've had some issues ๐
heavy sail
Could you send a new log? @fast ruin
ashen elbow
aand it's bouncer again..
daring wagon
and marlon and gunther-looks like something wrong with the dialogue files
heavy sail
Strange. I feel like that content method on the SDV wiki isn't that helpful.
fast ruin
it also affects the date
daring wagon
and henchman
ashen elbow
huh.. i think it's because those aren't real npcs
fast ruin
since when ever i start a new game it randomise a date
ashen elbow
like you can't befriend them
heavy sail
You might have to reinstall SDV. But move your save file and mods to a seperate location.
royal arrow
I know nothing about the furry mod, does it do anything to the bouncer NPC?
daring wagon
Those are so cute!!!!
heavy sail
I kinda don't like those, but that's just my opinion. I wish I knew more about that mod to help you. But my best option is to reinstall SDV since it seems like the xnb mods are still there. That's whats causing the issue.
royal arrow
I'm stumped though, if all they do is replace portraits. But yea reinstall the game and then SMAPI and then your non-XNB mods
!reset
native dragonBOT
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 :)
heavy sail
Content Patcher mods don't directly edit the game, so yeah.
royal arrow
See the first link in the governor message above
outer turret
It's the furry mod
The games decided they are real ppl now. Is my guess.
And yeh probably something to do with xnb. Did u maybe put them in the wrong folder?
fair vessel
Ooh. I think what happened was
If you drag and drop to overwrite files inside a folder on Mac, all previous files inside that folder will be deleted (whether or not there is a replacement for them)
Unlike for PC, which only replaces folders and leaves the others alone.
daring wagon
Oh, I had someone with vintage interface earlier. The original version hasn't been updated since January 2019 and that seemed to be causing some issues. You could try switching that out for Vintage Interface 2
fair vessel
So installing XNB mods on mac is especially risky. You can accidentally delete a whole bunch of additional game files when you do
outer turret
I wonder if I could give bouncer dialogue the same way I gave Gunther and Marlon dialogue...
fair vessel
Resetting the game files as suggested ought to fix it.
outer turret
(By literally just loading dialogue for them)
fair vessel
(And on Mac you also need to be careful, for the same reason, if you're ever installing a compatibility patch between different mods that goes into a different mod's folder)
fast ruin
but i already did that by resting files?
fair vessel
Ah, yeah, just getting caught up sorry. I see. A full game reinstall would be the way to go then, I agree
heavy sail
That wouldn't exactly help because it verified the remaining files @fast ruin , you would have to reinstall SDV, as Jonqora said.
heavy sail
Open your steam library, right click SDV and uninstall it. Then reinstall it. But move your save file and mods folder to a safe place beforehand.
@outer turret I had an idea to fix the cellar. By deleting the spouse room mods for every custom NPC I'm not married to.
Would that work?
outer turret
Wouldnt hurt.
fast ruin
where is the SDV?
outer turret
I try not to install too many
fast ruin
outer turret
Might at the very least cut down load time.
fast ruin
?
outer turret
(But be careful because some are also festival position files.)
heavy sail
Yup, uninstall Stardew.
@outer turret Those are usually separate mods tho.
outer turret
Mine arent.
fast ruin
than reinstall it?
heavy sail
Yup.
fast ruin
should i reintall the furry mod?
outer turret
I love how different everyones games look
heavy sail
@ashen elbow Seems like whoever made that mod left out some letters.
ashen elbow
nope, they were all there
outer turret
Maybe the patch dimensions are wrong?
heavy sail
@fast ruin Install the CP Version again.
fast ruin
ok
ashen elbow
i dont know what happened to the font..
heavy sail
You might have to ask the mod creator, report it as a bug on their page.
royal arrow
Cheese, was that the peachy UI recolor thing? Yea that was apparently a stolen mod side note, could you send me your log again, please? 
your building mod is super cute ๐
ashen elbow
okie
just ignore the inteface mod for now https://smapi.io/log/af6cab68eca04d9f815bf78ab506a6dc
im using vintage interface v2 with some custom changes
aka frankenstiening bits and pieces of different mods together
fast ruin
royal arrow
Lol all good, I also frankensprite mods together too xD
ashen elbow
lol
ashen elbow
sigh the same 3 characters again,, idk how to help
royal arrow
Sorry if you already answered this, but does it happen without the furry mod installed?
fast ruin
no
fair vessel
Yo
Bouncer, Marlon and Gil don't even have dialogue files in vanilla 
So the question is,
Why does the anthro mod cause SMAPI to look for them? ๐ค
royal arrow
Maybe you can comment out the edits for Gunther, Bouncer, and Marlon, and see if that temporarily fixes it? You'd edit the content.json by adding // in front of the entries, including the { }
From there, we could see about how to change it so the portrait edits don't cause SMAPI to look for dialog. I know Gunther gets new portraits and sprites in Seasonal Villager Outfits (SVO) without this issue
heavy sail
@outer turret So I deleted the spouse rooms I didn't need, now to just test it.
fair vessel
Lemme look at this content.json
ashen elbow
yeah why on earth does a sprite.portrait mod overhaul mess witht he dialogue'
heavy sail
I don't even know
fair vessel
Oh hey. It's using a bunch of Load edits. What if we just... switch them to EditImage 
outer turret
Is it loading them to the right folder?
fast ruin
ya
in the mods folder
this is what it says
This file is intended to be installed with Content Patcher. For those simply looking to replace files, please use the replacer version of this mod.
royal arrow
Jonqora might be fixing it o: so excited~
ashen elbow
jonqora to the resuce
royal arrow
Side note, BaKyu~N, I got my Wizard and LfL issue fixed, thank you! 
fast ruin
but what also is important is that the mod also editrs the in game npcs not to profile
heavy sail
@royal arrow No problem.
fast ruin
here is an example the player has its own seprate mod (this is from a screan cap of a lets play useing the mod
royal arrow
Yea it makes sense it edits both the portraits and the sprites
heavy sail
I want to get the NPCs Lyell and Steve, but at this point I have so many NPC mods that it feels like Pelican City, especially since I use Stardew Enhanced - The Town and Town School. Eh, as long as it doesn't break anything.
After reading their pages, I don't think they'll clash but I'm not sure if I should get them.
royal arrow
Yea and I know Lemurkat put a sort of guide together for mod authors to try and reduce everybody standing in the same spot all at once
fair vessel
@fast ruin okay... shot in the dark here, try this
Replace the entire contents of the content.json with what's in here https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/75e918f7c7be41d9b9e7da4c27788492#L629
royal arrow
You could also rotate, unless you're rather attached to all the NPCs you have now o:
I still haven't gotten to know Herbert and Jade very well, and I've had them in multiple saves wasting all my time chasing after Sebastian
fair vessel
(ignore the errors, content patcher is complaining about the language tilesheet patches)
fast ruin
how so?
fair vessel
Open content.json - select all - delete
Select everything in the Content window of the link I shared - copy - paste into empty content.json
save.
Make sure you get everything including the starting { and ending }
fast ruin
where is content.json?
heavy sail
In the mod's folder.
fast ruin
for the furry mod?
heavy sail
Yep.
fair vessel
I think the folder is
Anthro Characters Continued 1.4 - Content Patcher
outer turret
I have about 20 custom NPCS
fair vessel
arg 
heavy sail
@outer turret Deleting the other spouse rooms fixed the cellar bug.
outer turret
23 plus my own handful of them actually
outer turret
(but tbf several are the Naver ones that stay in their one map area)
shy orbit
i had 59 npcs in the introduction quest this time
outer turret
Oh I didn't even count Randy... and MArlon and Gunther...
ashen elbow
UDFMvdnh 59?
heavy sail
I remember when I had the Random Visitors mod plus like 10 standalone ones, I had like 102 NPCs in the social list.
ashen elbow
uh oh
royal arrow
Jonqora, idk if you have taken a peek at the content.json for SVO, but I wonder if it might be a good reference for the Gunther edits, to see if there's something there that can be mimicked?
outer turret
I can't find a way to give me a total number of NPCs to friend without manually counting them
my introductions quest says "29/30 greeted" but I ahve way more than that.
(I think I broke that one)
shy orbit
i'm not sure if the number changes in the introduction quest after it's initiated
tight tusk
i stopped counting the custom npcs i have at some point ๐
heavy sail
I've had Stardew for like two years and just realized that my farm animals have Japanese names because my sister, the farmhand.
fair vessel
Maybe it's something specific to old content patcher schema?
tight tusk
ahaha i don't use sve currently too, i find it messes with a lot of custom npc pathing
royal arrow
But there shouldn't be that significant a difference from 1.10 to 1.14
I know SVO is up to 1.15 now but it worked fine for Gunther even in 1.14
fair vessel
@fast ruin Open the content.json again, look at the very top, there's a part called "Format": "1.10"
change that to be 1.14 instead of 1.10
(it's not the most recent version... 1.15 makes a lot of big changes... but 1.14 is recent-ish and should still work OK I think)
outer turret
the one missing from the intro quest was Randy because he was spawning in the void. I have met him now however, so I'm not sure why he hasn't been counted
heavy sail
@outer turret forgot to mention that Random Visitors is working again, so I upped the amount of NPC created to around 150 (probably shouldn't have).
fair vessel
Then save and retry, you know the drill
royal arrow
Yea 1.14 was from back in May of this year
dawn prawn
Hello! Is the plantable mushroom trees mod still working for everyone? I get a red square anywhere i try and place a mushroom now
royal arrow
According to mods.smapi.io, it should still be working. Can you provide your log?
!log
native dragonBOT
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
fair vessel
Oof, looks like that change added rather than removed problems 
Better switch it back to 1.10
This is honestly so bizarre. How do other portrait mods not have this problem? 
royal arrow
@dawn prawn can you try temporarily disabling the Ran's Faux Stairs and Platforms mod by adding . at the beginning of the folder name, and then trying again? I only wonder about this mod because it's from 2018
heavy sail
I'm not sure if there is a fix for this, but with tree texture mods, the static trees in the background break, only showing part of it. Has anyone else had an issue like this?
royal arrow
I've only seen this in my own saves at the path leading to the entrance to Herbert's house, but it didn't matter if it was Stardew Foliage Redone or Flower Valley, both caused the issue. I didn't manage to fix it though
heavy sail
I've seen this in places like East Scarpe and the Town.
fair vessel
So, just to recap in case I've missed anything @fast ruin...
When you remove the anthro mod, these errors don't happen? And when you add it back again, they do?
dawn prawn
@royal arrow - reloaded, still get red squares when trying to place
have tried on and off the farm as well
fast ruin
yep
fair vessel
fast ruin
https://smapi.io/log/1496a9dc2f014f9382cd973935f7b89c with the 1.10
royal arrow
I'm not sure what's going on then, charlixcx, hopefully someone else can help, sorry I couldn't :c
fast ruin
and the thing is the mod works for others
dawn prawn
All good! appreciate your help
fair vessel
ooh wait that's with back to 1.10? It looks like an error got introduced to the file somewhere
ashen elbow
furry mod
fair vessel
Try replacing the whole file contents again with this https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/75e918f7c7be41d9b9e7da4c27788492#L629
(I'm just trying to get rid of the first error, it wasn't there before )
ashen elbow
fair vessel
Though... that is weird... because... even though the new error says the content pack didn't load at all, it's STILL complaining with the original errors. Whaaaat?
fast ruin
https://smapi.io/log/c3d3ca36a89748ada01e9ea6d50e6740 i did exacly what you said but things are still gliching out
ashen elbow
damn,,
fast ruin
such as when a new file is made it randomly makes a date rather than starting on the 1st
tepid hawk
@outer turret my problem with Marnie is that she has store hours but isn't at her desk during those hours sometimes.
My kiddo's problem is that she's 8 and can't be bothered to remember anyone's schedule. Lmao.
fair vessel
I feel like it's not the anthro mod then. It can't be. Maybe it's content patcher somehow?
Can you try disabling anthro mod and install some other, random portrait mod that changes Gunther OR Marlon OR Henchman OR Bouncer?
ashen elbow
you can disable a mod by puting a . at the start right?
royal arrow
Yup! I was overjoyed when I learned I could do that instead of moving folders in and out of my Mods folder
fair vessel
Like, what in the nine hells is going on?
This might be the most perplexing error I've seen
We'll see how long before I crack and use that halp command LOL
royal arrow
Yea I'd told a story in the making mods channel about how I accidentally used it, not knowing what it would do Pathos is probably used to it at this point though lol
fair vessel
Yeah, such that if someone used it legit I'd worry he'd overlook it at this point ๐คฃ
fast ruin
Should I just use the replacer?
ashen elbow
the xnb? dont use it
fast ruin
Because of the technical issues with mine
royal arrow
LOL maybe he'd only care if it's used anywhere but governor's mansion. He definitely checks his pings though, like the patient angel he is
ACTUALLY. ONE LAST THING. SherbGoat111, has it worked before and suddenly stopped working? What if you temporarily roll back to a previous Content Patcher version, say version 1.14.1, instead of 1.15.2?
fair vessel
True, that's worth a shot - uninstall content patcher and install an older version of it
ashen elbow
maybe the new CP broke something in the mod
fast ruin
Hmm make sense but how far back?
royal arrow
Yea it's worth checking, at least
1.14.1
It's available on nexus still, under old files
heavy sail
Um, Robin and Marnie have two mailboxes in front of their houses, because of Ayeisha... Is there a way to fix that?
royal arrow
@heavy sail that's a feature, not a bug. The mod author thought they'd get enough mail to justify 2 mailboxes I was wrong, this was only an idea in the early stages of development
fervent minnow
Is there any way by mod or otherwise to unlock the 1-3x per day dialogue limit with other characters?
heavy sail
Oh, I thought it was because of Stardew Valley Reimagined 2 @royal arrow.
ashen elbow
it probably is
royal arrow
Do they overlap?
fair vessel
What other mods do you have installed? Ayeisha moves some vanilla mailboxes, but if another mod changes the mailbox to a different location the Ayeisha mod won't know where it is
royal arrow
I remember in early stages of development, TheLimeyDragon wanted them to have 2 mailboxes o.o
heavy sail
The mods that add mailboxes are SVR2, Stardew Enhanced - The Town, and Ayeisha, but they don't overlap.
SETown actually deletes some of Ayeisha's mailboxes.
royal arrow
Hmm, one sec, I think the mod author posted about this in the making mods channel today
outer turret
Reimagined2 her patch cuts off half the little tree in front of the Arc House
royal arrow
Yea the Reimagined thing is a different issue, my bad!
outer turret
also I have moved one of my ES mail boxes, but that's because Hesper made me a beautiful house with the mauilbox in front of it and I couldn't move it.
fair vessel
Hm, if 2 mailboxes is intentional, that is confusing. I would suggest Limey consider bigger mailbox sprites instead
outer turret
Tristan is going to have the most beautiful house in the Scarpe ๐
royal arrow
I'd mentioned that as well, but they were initially not confident in their artistic abilities. They may have changed their mind and actually removed the 2nd mailbox though o: in which case it's just an incompatibility thing
ashen elbow
hmm 
fair vessel
royal arrow
In looking at the mod pictures for Ayeisha, looks like Robin is not supposed to have 2 mailboxes, sooo that solves that ๐
tight tusk
yeah it's also puzzling, most of the complaints i've seen with the anthro mod is when it's also used with sve and they both have their own festival maps so players have to choose one or the other
royal arrow
SherbGoat111, did uninstalling Content Patcher and installing version 1.14.1 not do the trick? 
heavy sail
That Slime Hutch to Menagerie mod works perfectly, now they can't kill me.
tight tusk
yes yes that's why i love that slime hutch mod, plus i can regen my health in the spa if i wandered too close
heavy sail
I don't know why I thought that regeneration thing wouldn't work.
One thing I don't like about that More Animals mod is that poor animals live in that box and I can't get anymore without my game lagging ๐.
fair vessel
edges self closer to big red button
royal arrow
Welp. Idk if Jonqora considers this time for halp lol but I know I'm out of ideas ๐
outer turret
okay so I think I may have got Boarding House, Stray Catfe and Athanaeri to all work together. Firstly I had to remove the map properties from the Athaenaeri pathway, then I set a dependency on it for Boarding House. @fickle sundial
fair vessel
Help us oh @tired brook, we're completely out of ideas with a smapi error situation
To summarize: @fast ruin is seeing game errors as seen here (https://smapi.io/log/83d9adbf2ee54e5fa1f4dd7c37be7e50) if and only if using the anthro characters mod. Inexplicably.
The errors involve the SMAPI content manager and have something to do with dialogue failing to load for Henchman, Bouncer, Gil and Marlon... but these characters have no dialogue files in the vanilla game and the anthro mod does not add anything related, it only edits their portraits and sprites.
We have tried:
- updating "Load" to "EditImage" throughout the content.json
- reverting to a previous version of content patcher
- resetting game files and even reinstalling SDV entirely
heavy sail
Aww, how cute. My junimos are making my flowers look ugly.
fair vessel
Anyway, that's all we can do for now. Might be a while before Pathos sees his pings, but I'm sure he'll get to it
fast ruin
mabye i should do the replacement mod?
civic rampart
Hey, are there any mods that allow an NPC to live on your farm without marrying them?
ashen elbow
not that i know of

I super want Shane to live on the farm, but don't really want to marry him
Ah, alright. Thanks anyways.

So guys I need help. I recently updated teh SVE mod and it loaded up fine, except for one thing
None of the extra characters (Victor, Sophia, etc.) aren't showing up.
I did get SMAPI errors about it and Idk how to fix it.

@ruby leaf Remove all SVE files and dependencies from your mods directory then reinstall. There's been large reformats since 1.10.
(mostly my fault because I chose a dumb file structure)
ruby leaf
So delete and redownload all files pertaining to the SVE and then put them back and it should work?
rare quest
Yup!

ok i shall try, thank you c:
