when you go to the smapi site, it lets you download the smapi install program.
#archived-modded-support
dire fractal
it will give you a zip, and inside it there's these programs
you should just have to double click on the windows one
(idk why mine shows as .bat but, it should be the one for windows, I use the one for mac. I just double click the mac file and it installs smapi.)
I think it works the same on every computer, you just have to use the file for your computer?
you should be installing from here
(okay it's meant to be windows.bat)
next sparrow
yeah whenever i double click gthe "install on windows.bat" it gives me this error:
dire fractal
Uhm. Okay, yikes.
next sparrow
the zipped files are all in order it looks like, but upon extraction it doesn't carry over the executable
lol yeah, this didnt happen with the previous version, which is odd?
dire fractal
Yeah I'm not.. Actually sure where to even begin truthfully, that is.. Definitely very strange.
It's just meant to be one zipped file
and then inside you should have 5 files, right?
ooh
do you have an
'internal' folder?
in that there is the windows-instal.exe
Um
it's in the description, Prophet
that you can't date him or the dwarf 😛
next sparrow
yeah i have that extracted too which is also odd, lemme send you some screenshots real fast
dire fractal
Because at the time certain NPCs wouldn't let you, stardew valley prevented it
Also alright Sailor!
I don't know if he's still stuck to friend only atm, ever since Eric added him as a 'roommate'
next sparrow
ok i have some screenshots:
This is what the file and the internal file look like BEFORE i unzip the file, the contents seem to be in tact and in order
then after extracting the SMAPI folder to my desktop, i get these errors:
dire fractal
hm, have you tried using a different program to extract?
by any chance
see if it's to do with the program you're using(?)
next sparrow
and then this is what the internal folder looks like post-extraction, with the biggest thing missing being the windows exe file:
oh yes i used to extract with windows but i guess they updated (?? it was weird it wasnt allowing me to unzip anything?) so ive been relying on peazip for a minute now, lemme try another program!
dire fractal
@ivory star https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4982 this is the most I can find tbh
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1250 idk if this works anymore but?
next sparrow
is there a specific program you'd recommend? I'll do some of my own research as well, but i thought id ask :)
dire fractal
I wish but I don't use windows so I don't know how compatible programs are. I use unarchiver and winzip?
Winzip works for both, not sure about unarchiver but I assume so??
No problem, I hope they help!!! I just searched 'Krobus' on nexus and those came up
next sparrow
downloading 7zip now, ill get back to you once i give it a shot :)
outer turret
The narrative pack works I'm pretty sure. Wasnt quite right for my game. Someone is working on a krobus expansion though
dire fractal
Oooh! I personally like underdark krobus and the underdark sewer
yep, the sewer one was updated by minerva
the old one is out of date sadly
outer turret
I made him a nicer sewer
next sparrow
ok so! upon trying 7zip, the same thing happened, but it gave me a more descriptive error message this time round:
nope, this is my personal laptop, and i am the admin
dire fractal
https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/updating-mods-for-stardew-valley-1-4.156000/page-9#post-3353113 for the underdark, i can't seem to find it on her moddrop atm although it was.. there?
next sparrow
lmao thats very kind of u tysm, lemme fool around and do some trouble shooting with it first before i take you up on that offer tho :)
dire fractal
haha I can't believe there is a breed like rabbits mod, procreation boogaloo. I love the names people make for mods, makes me so happy.
next sparrow
but yes if it comes to that ill keep that in mind
OK I GOT IT
i had to extract the internal folder separately?? and THEN i had to extract the full thing, trick my computer into allowing me to edit the internal folder (said i had to be an admin... which i am?) and NOW its running
dire fractal
deeefinitely weird but congrats!
next sparrow
lmao tysm for all of your help!
dire fractal
No worry, glad it works!!!!
I remember someone on here a while back was talking about a fertiliser mod and how they wanted one. This isn't exactly what they were looking for, but it has an interesting mechanic?
@dire fractal I think it was you!
yis
t'was me
covert basalt
looks interesting, and give hard time haha
dire fractal
I found it while looking at the compatibility list Holiday, and thought if you haven't seen it before, you might enjoy it???
untold hamlet
ok so i need some professional help trying to completely reset my coding in SV. My friend told me to go into the command prompt for the smapi or something and we changed the code there to add a tractor mode, a few years later i reinstall smapi to find out that when i put mods into the mod folder theres still 2 mods installed but not in the folder. Any ideas how to reset the code?
I would GREATLY appreciate it because verifying the integrity of the files doesn't work and uninstalling it wont work either
royal arrow
2 mods installed but not in the folder
What do you mean by this o: ? SMAPI comes bundled with 2 mods, Console Commands and Save Backup. They are automatically put into the Mods folder when you install SMAPI
untold hamlet
so when i try to run the game it says 2 mods are installed but when i put my new mods in there they dont show up, or maybe i haven't activated them. they also dont show up in the prompt, still saying only 2 mods are active
royal arrow
Are you using a mod manager like Vortex? Also, could you provide your log using the link below?
!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
(Another thing, can you send a picture of your mod folder?)
untold hamlet
yes
royal arrow
Oh, you are using Vortex? You have to enable the mods as well as deploy them
untold hamlet
ah
ok lemme see if that works gimme a second
i didn't realize you had to deploy them XD
royal arrow
All good, it's definitely an extra step haha
another reason to use manual install 
(I tease 
)
dire fractal
manual or..
whisper about moddrop seeming oddly decent
if not lacking mods though
royal arrow
Yea the recommendation is definitely manual install > ModDrop > Vortex
dire fractal
^ this 100%. manual can be a pain but better control
royal arrow
The dragging and dropping of folders is minimal to me, and yea for sure mote control, and no mishaps with Vortex casually eating manifest files or losing configs 😄
dire fractal
how compatible is it with other mods?
Can't seem to see a 'compatibility' part on the mod page itself
royal arrow
McStabbyDaddy, since you're committed to using Vortex, here's a guide! https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Modding_Stardew_Valley_with_Vortex#:~:text=To begin%2C open up Vortex,to confirm your active game
dire fractal
ah nevermind, it's multiplayer incompatible, checked in the comments which is sad.
royal arrow
There aren't compatibility issues with Surfing Festival with other mods, it's pretty isolated in terms of what it does
dire fractal
yeah, it sounds so nice if not for the whole
'you'll get stuck on a neverending day on the 5th summer' for multiplayer boo
royal arrow
Multiplayer is harder for modders to figure out than we expect 😄
dire fractal
It really is! I'm shocked how many mods actually support it tbh!
(And grateful to be honest)
kinda wish there was a children mod for multiplayer marriage?
royal arrow
Yea as someone who has no grasp of code, my initial thought is "awww why not? 
" and then they try to explain code-wise why not and I'm like "I didn't understand that, but it sounds bad o.o" lol
dire fractal
they have a lot of 'kids match parents' for the npcs, but I do wonder how complicated it would be to have a randomised one for multiplayer or.. pick code colour?
royal arrow
I can't remember if I've seen something like that on nexus?
dire fractal
I've only seen 'unique children' etc but that's for npcs only sadly
royal arrow
Definitely search for "babies", "toddlers", "children" etc. People use different terms
dire fractal
Yeah I've been going through the compatibility list 😭
royal arrow
!compat This one?
native dragonBOT
See https://smapi.io/mods for a list of mods updated for the latest versions of SMAPI and Stardew Valley. :)
dire fractal
Mhm!
dire fractal
Ah true, but I try not to like..
Change actual stuff in my game?
I rely on mods
(especially since well, multiplayer.)
I just want cute children with my partner ingame (we play together) but changing actual game files is something we're not toooo fond of?
we did find a 'fox and bunny' children mod which was kinda cute
Sadly it was a 'replace files' one
royal arrow
Change actual stuff in my game?
Not sure what you mean o:
dire fractal
basically, we don't like messing with xnb files ):
we rather have a smapi mod that we can just pop in! and remove easily!
royal arrow
So there's XNB mods, which require directly replacing game files, which is an outdated method and not recommended. Then there's content packs, which are just mods that use a framework. For example, a mod that adds new items using Json Assets (JA) is a content pack for JA
!xnb
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).
royal arrow
And you can look up XNB mods on the first link in the governor message to see if someone converted it!
dire fractal
Ahhh okay I'm following now, yeah okay. I'll def have a look for that though! I assumed 'smapi mods' meant like, all mods used in smapi haha
including CP, CF etc
royal arrow
And content packs can be added and removed same as SMAPI mods
Ah, yea terminology is confusing
We say "SMAPI mod" we mean, it's uses code (C#) lol
fast river
Surfing Festival should work in MP?
dire fractal
Yeah sorry I just basically count it as 'mods' and 'replacement files' ahaha. That makes a lot of sense though.
Hmm in a comment it says it doesn't?
royal arrow
(space is one of the mod authors for Surfing Festival btw)
fast river
I tested it in MP before release and it worked fine I thought. Will try again soon
royal arrow
(That person didn't provide a log, so it'd be hard to say for sure what went wrong for them)
dire fractal
That's a relief! I couldn't see a confirmation in the description, so I usually check in comments just in case. I'll give it a go tomorrow and let you know if we end up stuck or not!!
fading plank
is there any command in smapi that let's you remove bushes or does world_clear farm debris cover that?
royal arrow
Oh that's a good question 👀 I use Entoarox Framework for that, because it has a command. is interested to hear if SMAPI lets you do this
dire fractal
I know there is a... mod for it?
Never used it but?
However that means you gotta do things manually instead of zapping all bushes away ):
maybe Entoarox would be best choice?
heavy sail
There’s also Reset Terrain Features https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4715
dire fractal
Ooh, I didn't know it cleared them actually
(I thought the clear might be like 'clear changes' whoops LOL)

10 hours later: ISLA CAN BE UPDATED AGAIN.

oh boy, you have a couple errors, one sec. And ahhh okay, yeah okay that shouldn't be an issue in that sense.
Lemme see if I see anything

@dire fractal You leveled up to Farmer. You're now a prettier shade of blue. Thanks for sticking around!
dire fractal
Um you
Have a ..
Lot of mods you need to update.
A lot.
I think you need to focus on that primarily since it can affect how other mods load sometimes?
Also update your smapi, it's out of date too!
Happy birthday is crashing like heck,
Lunna doesn't have... the supported format version it seems
outer chasm
how do i fix it?
dire fractal
you downloaded the most recent one right?
outer chasm
i think so
outer chasm
what does that mean exactly...?
shy orbit
you need content patcher version 1.18 or later
outer chasm
thanks
dire fractal
honestly please um, try update all those mods
some of these will need manifest files changed, I can see a couple that I had to change manifests for
royal arrow
Marcelo, do you have Lookup Anything installed or are willing to get it?
That may help (assuming it's not a vanilla easter egg o.o)

Vanilla error items often have a specific sprite, that one looks weird

anyone know what the event ID for the adventurer's guild thing is after you kill the 10 green slimes? I ran into a glitch and the event doesn't trigger, though it does mark as complete in the quest log
faint wharf
anyone mind helping me? I'm pretty sure I downloaded all of the mods that the shaved ice mod recommended and etc but seem to get more PFM warnings >^> log: https://smapi.io/log/5257860c21254c24b95a78db31b7c1bc
mostly just asking what mods I need to add for all of the recipes to work
heavy sail
The shaved ice thing? @faint wharf
If so, I think it might be a bug. I have every required mod but it happens to me too.
So, you should probably report it to the author.
faint wharf
Hm, alright. thought I was just missing a mod or two or etc. I'll do that now ^^
dire fractal
i ask, because i haven't been able to find the id anywhere on the forums, or by searching various and sundry places on the interwebs
Let me check
Check here @dire fractal https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CpDrw23peQiq-C7F2FjYOMePaYe0Rc9BwQsj3h6sjyo
not there :/
stepped into the guild. checked seen events both before and after. no change. 😐 so it doesn't even realize that an event happened.
shy orbit
@faint wharf looks like the syrups come from the download PPJA and More Fruit Pack in https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5173?tab=files

Strangely enough, I have that, and verified its presence, and checked like three different logs of mine, but I get that same warning 
dire fractal
https://smapi.io/log/6d3a8f6532e34044a9338265b0531f67 my log. i've had this problem before, and I swear i had the id SOMEWHERE but i can't find it and I know it's not super important but it's bugging me.
heavy sail
I have the base mod, the add-on packs, and everything required, it’s really odd 
faint wharf
Vibel, I have that mod and it still rejects me >^> but i contacted the shaved ice mod owner.
dire fractal
ah ha. i knew i'd asked about it.
@outer turret thank you once more for the help ^_^ you were the one who found the ID for me last time ❤️
outer turret
Oh thanks.
dire fractal
Asking again just in case I get an answer this time: any existing mods that let you sell items at the strawberry stand place at the egg festival?
And are there any other such shops that don’t let you sell things?
fair vessel
@dire fractal it's not in the event files. There's no vanilla event data for the Guild location, instead any vanilla cutscene would be hard-coded to happen and the event script located somewhere else in the content files. I don't know if it even has an event ID to call.
Wait - you aren't able to enter the guild until you've finished the quest, actually. So if you're able to enter normally, it sounds like it's registering as done? But it still lingers in your quest log, is that right?

deep totem
Ok if u don't know them it's alright. You can just install manually
fossil elk
yes i installed manually
deep totem
Did u alr downloaded the latest version?
I mean tbf SVE has been on daily update for past few days...
It's bit hard to catch up 😅
fossil elk
Did u alr downloaded the latest version?
@deep totem now i have the 1.11.1
deep totem
Current latest version is 1.11.5
deep totem
And?
deep totem
The two links I sent before should direct you to the latest version of the mod
deep totem
There's like mod manager, one is called vortex and the other is moddrop
Though they're hardly necessary as installing and updating mod is very simple with SDV
fossil elk
why is the better?
deep totem
One might have to spend extra effort clear up problem when there's issue with the manager. Vortex esp I heard few problems about
I don't know as I didn't use them
deep totem
yep" extract and drop to /Mods
fossil elk
ok
i have one question
doubt*
the tradutor is helping me -'
to update the sve from 1.11.1 to 1.11.5 i loss my save?
deep totem
Nope it won't affect ur save
deep totem
Mod in general won't affect ur save (The one I know bit problematic is the one to save anywhere and to not sleep)
deep totem
Haha SVE in particular is a heavy one
fossil elk
I spent 1 week trying to open the game
deep totem
U might want to reduce the number of monster spawned to help with the load
fossil elk
until I discovered that it was necessary a "nxa" "xna" something like that
the game run good
dont lag
but the first time of play with mods
its have 5-15 fps in the farm
now its have 25-40fps
for me its playable
kkkk
deep totem
Oh no. As u r using SVE you can go into the FTM config and set max number of spawnable monsters to <50...
It might help
fossil elk
hmm
I'll take a look later
hey
i have another doubt
sorry :< kk
is there a translation file for sve?
i'm brazilian and as you can see my english is not the best
deep totem
Oh... There's some translation mods for SVE (I've seen some in nexus), though I doubt there's any for the latest version....
fossil elk
any chance of finding only one file to translate?
or to translate is just changing the whole mod?
deep totem
It might be possible in mods that alr use i18n (to have everything to translate in one file), but I don't think SVE alr use that CP feature... Thus it will require changing the whole mods
fossil elk
:<
my english is bad
I will look for a changelog
I'll be back
apparently this new version has a lot of new things
deep totem
Yep quite a lot
fossil elk
the version translated into portuguese is in version 1.10.14
unfortunately i will have to use the english version
I hope a translation comes out soon ❤️
if i knew how to move mods i would even do a translation ... but i don't know '-'
deep totem
It's not easy esp on one mod like SVE 😅

I dunno if anybody can help me with this pretty base level thing? I can't use any mods in coop until I get some guidance
Anybody around?
dusk gull
I'm sorry I have zero experience with coop!
cloud harness
ok but mods at all?
how would you do what I am talking about for solo?
isn't it the same thing?
supple echo
Using the Nexus mod manager is actually not a great idea for Stardew—it tends to mess up files! We recommend manual download and install of mods most of the time
dusk gull
I don't know! Also I don't use the nexus mod manager wither
supple echo
I'm sure Vortex works better with mods for some of the many other games on Nexus, though I couldn't tell you which ones 🙂
Just not so well with Stardew.
cloud harness
oh sorry....I guess I mean vortex....
supple echo
no worries, I figured that's what you meant 🙂
cloud harness
So assume I meant vortex and not NMM
dusk gull
yes, also mod authors have to manually disable the vortex download for each of their mods - which I have forgotten to do a bunch of times 🙄
cloud harness
Been a LONG time since I did any modding
covert basalt
would it exist a way to make a mod that allow buildings to be rotate?
cloud harness

native dragonBOT
See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide#Do_mods_work_in_multiplayer.3F for details on how mods work in multiplayer. :)

seems like the mods we are using will work since we are both installing them
supple echo
And a couple of helpful multiplayer mods:
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6609
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2543
Yup, all players having the same mods is the easiest way to avoid trouble 🙂
cloud harness
So the key now is figuring out how to launch smapi with steam having used vortex
cause I feel real dumb right meow cause this was easy for solo play lol

I am told that on Windows you have to edit your Steam launch options. there's some instructions here (look for "configure Steam")
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows
cloud harness
yeah but that doesn't get shown with vortex
supple echo
basically, the installer should give you a path in quotes to put in there with %command% after it
cloud harness
so I'm thinking smapi and vortex are not compatble if you want steam?
supple echo
Not having used Vortex, I'm not really sure. Sorry. Your easiest route might be to reinstall SMAPI manually—it's pretty fast.
(And the installer cleans up after itself for updates and such so you shouldn't have to worry about deleting anything.)
supple echo
oh. hmm.
cloud harness
Unless I can somehow install vortex manually but also use vortex for the other mods?
supple echo
The mod manager at https://www.moddrop.com/ is supposed to work better with SDV mods if you really want a mod manager? Or I know there are a couple people here somewhere who do use Vortex and might be able to advise
cloud harness
I was really hoping this would be more straightforward since the smapi website gives you the option to download it with vortex
What is stardew modding api and where do I get it?
it says I don't have it so I can't install smapi
So I can't do it manually either now
I dunno what is going on
It seems really strange that everything leads you to using vortex, even the smapi website itself and yet it doesn't work.
sharp belfry
stardew modding api IS smapi
cloud harness
ok well it tells me I don't have it....even though I double clicked on it to install it
so it says it needs itself to install itself but that I don't have it?

I don't remember this process being aneurysm inducing last time.
oh....my computer thinks it's a virus so it won't download the manual version
rain lava
don't use vortex for installing SMAPI do the steps listed here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Install_SMAPI
tell windows to make an exeption
cloud harness
Ok now how do I stop that from happening?
How do I make my computer not think it's a virus?
it isn't even asking me
rain lava
there should be an option like that when you click the alert window, can't say from memory
cloud harness
There's no alert
just fail
It says "Failed - Virus Detected"
but I don't have antivirus software
other than the stuff built into windows
rain lava
windows sometimes blocks it, i wish i remembered exactly how to tell it to allow the download 
there should be a way to click it and change some options
cloud harness
Hmmm..... there might actually be a virus in there...
rain lava
nope
cloud harness
it says Trojan: Win32/Casur.A!cl
rain lava
wtf where do you download the SMAPI from?
rain lava
correct. so it is windows being dumb 
rotund stump
Try to download from Nexus
rain lava
no idea. It could be from something else. Never had that alert downloading SAMPI

Wrt to the antivirus thing, that is not a real trojan - it is windows antivirus code for "I don't know what this is but it is suspicious"

For SVE immersive farm 2 remastered, is there an image of where things should “go” building wise? There’s paths, fences and markers, so I’m wondering if there’s an image? To give an idea of where each spaces are designated to?
I saw on moddrop only the empty one, so curious about placements. (I love the map a lot, just need some ideas for placements and Google isn’t being too useful.)

Is it possible to run Aquarium with just SVE since SVE has its own custom npc fixes?
@gilded kraken You can use aquarium without custom npc fixes if you use SVE. You can also use custom npc fixes with SVE, it just doesn’t run the mod/code neither is it necessary
dire fractal
Also question about the large chests / magic chests mod, it mentions it’s multiplayer friendly but comments seem to show problems with chests changing to normal and not going back / items lost. The mod hasn’t been worked on for a while? My question is, who uses is, and how is it? Had any problems with it?

stuck hazel
okay i've never been on discord before so pleeease be kind to me as I try to post for help!! basically sometime yesterday my game stopped showing my pet icon and trashcan icon when I open my inventory and the "add to stacks" button is gone when I open a chest. does anyone have a fix? pictures and SMAPI log: https://smapi.io/log/35c15819e6b94ca1b15c21a4fdda2e68
no cat icon or trash can icon
no add to stacks icon
fair vessel
@stuck hazel you are using an outdated mod (either an XNB mod or a CP mod) that uses an old version of the image file those icons are from.
If you have installed any XNB mods (stuff that replaces things inside the game's Content folder) that is the most likely culprit.
Otherwise, we can look through the CP content pack mods listed in your log and look for ones that edit the cursors file and haven't been updated since before last November
(it's worth noting that what you're seeing is a visual glitch only - the trash can and stack button should still work even though they're invisible.)
vital spade
XNB mods 
sharp belfry
XNBs 
stuck hazel
@fair vessel thank you for the quick response! I don't have any XNB mods I don't think, but I do have a ton of CP ones. The only ones that mention cursor files are Elle's Coop, Barn and Horses mods. I also downloaded those really recently so I feel like it might be one of those..however, they were all updated in February!
fair vessel
Found it.
"Bouncy Chest Dig Spot Replacement" is the problem.

hi, i have an issue. i just updated both my smapi and SVE (with expanded farm) mods, but my expanded farm is no longer there--it's back to the old format, which means half my crops are missing. any idea what went wrong?

how do i differentiate which ones they are.... sorry i'm v new at modding

i would just delete all of the sve and if2 files you've got right now, then re-download and re-install them fresh
and don't worry. everyone starts somewhere when it comes to using mods, so there's no need to be sorry. Asking questions is how you learn!

scenic meteor
quickish question I am about to update SVE and i know to empty the shed because they added a storyline for it where robin has to fix it. is there anything else i should be worried about when i upgrade?
noble saddle
really silly question, but since vortex is kinda a no-no for installing mods, is manual the only way or there is like, a mod manager thing for that?
covert basalt
is something inside your skull cavern entrance? @scenic meteor
scenic meteor
nope, ive only been there once
covert basalt
soo i think it is fine
scenic meteor
great thanks! (now lets hope i dont break everything)
naive drum
for some people vortex works with most mods, there's also moddrop if you're on windows which works for more people and more consistently, and manual install is pretty easy
covert basalt
@noble saddle there is ModDrop for windows
naive drum
some mods are manual-only, like everything for More Giant Crops because that has the special install instruction of "all content packs go inside the More Giant Crops folder"
drowsy drum
is transitioning from vortex to moddrop easy? or would i have to manually move all of my mods
noble saddle
yeh but moddrop dont have all the mods nexus have? and some are not up to date?
or you mean downloading from nexus but putting them in moddrop?
covert basalt
you can download from nexus and put them in moddrop
and manual modding sdv is easy
noble saddle
it is the dependencies that is a bit harder for me or know where went wrong with some mods
drowsy drum
i'm currently using nexus -> vortex, i knew very little about mods when I started so I just found a mod manager. How easy would it be to start using nexus -> moddrop?
covert basalt
once you download moddrop you can make a backup of all your mods you already have in the game
btw i was using only nexus, i downloaded the moddrop after the sve being launched there first xD
naive drum
personally i just use manual installs - mod manager installs are about the same difficulty as manual installs when it comes to stardew valley
you just take the mod out of the zip and put it in your mods folder
drowsy drum
oh nice
Why would it say automate isn't a smapi mod? https://smapi.io/log/4d63350d5c32447d89b15bbed110bdf6
I have a lot of errors that I can't figure out how to resolve. Some call for mods that I can't find.
It says some folders are empty when they aren't, a lot of issues.
naive drum
known issue with vortex, sometimes it randomly deletes manifest.jsons which are vital for smapi modding
install manually
also you need mizu's flowers, More Recipes, and Fruits and Veggies - check Artisan Valley's requirements dropdown on nexus for links!
drowsy drum
I guess I really am going to manual
Is there a way to easily find what mods have updates if you're manual?
Does nexus have support for that?
naive drum
SMAPI does update alerts with copyable and there's an update menu mod that puts a sorted list of update alerts on a tab on the main menu, complete with clickable links
also nexus shows an Update Available bar on any mod you've downloaded that got an update, i don't know what ModDrop does but there's something

!log
native dragonBOT
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
naive drum
you also need a newer Skill Prestige, the parsed log has a link at the top
you don't need the SMAPI installer in your Mods folder
you need Stardew Hack for some of your mods
you need Mail Framework Mod
so basically you need 3 mod frameworks and to update some of your mods, and it looks like your More Giant Crops has lost its Assets folder somehow?
tepid blade
https://smapi.io/log/bea89c45403a4a6e909286a0ed2fffae ok whats wrong as my game lags so bad that i can even load the title screen
naive drum
I think you need an earlier version of Content Patcher for android, and you need to uninstall and reinstall SVE
although SVE is a very large mod and can put a lot of strain on phones
but yeah like 90% of your mod is SVE trying to load an apparently missing tilesheet - iirc this tends to happen if you install a new SVE over an old SVE
which is why you delete old SVEs before installing new SVEs
drowsy drum
you don't need the SMAPI installer in your Mods folder
@naive drum can i delete it? do I need to move the 'internal' folder inside of it to my mod folder?
also I really appreciate your help!
naive drum
you can delete "SMAPI Installer" and all its contents after using it!
drowsy drum
okay good, i just wanted to be sure.
omg i found it's assets file it was just... floating around randomly
naive drum
one time i found some Celeste mods had somehow gotten into my STardew mods folder
native dragonBOT
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
naive drum
it was like
SMAPI: Skipped mod Etselec because it's not a SMAPI mod
drowsy drum
it keeps mentioning 'fresh meat' but i've n e v e r heard of that mod
drowsy drum
yessir
naive drum
it recognizes all assets with valid names and dimensions in the assets folder that is inside its mod folder
so if it's got like, some pictures of giant crops with short numbers for the name, put the whole assets folder in the More Giant Crops folder
drowsy drum
it already has some in there

If i install an outfit/portrait mod, do I have to delete the base game outfits?

drowsy drum
what languages do you know
wet thunder
@dire fractal there's a portrait mod that allows you to swap between portrait styles even while in game. Whichever one you choose will probably link to it as well but if it doesnt then its called Portraiture
not sure on outfits since I just use the seasonal outfits mod
Not sure if anyone remembers but a few days ago I mentioned about an empty SMAPI folder no one recognized. Turns out that folder is super important. I decided to delete it since it was "empty" but turned out without that folder my game would not load at all. So yeah fortunately I was able to restore that folder but man don't delete random folders 😄
naive drum
it might've been full of hidden files or something! but yeah don't delete random folders from your game files
dire fractal
do you use the uhhhh
naive drum
including your modded game files

seasonal anime portraits as well?

I downloaded Portraiture and theres another folder called SeedBag, is that important?

I havent seen that bag for sale in a long time so I kinda forgot about it after removing it

placid kraken
its this one correct?
wet thunder
yeah, the only one you need is the one on the right called SelfService
it will be the entire mod updated to work (though I haven't tried it out myself yet)
so I went ahead and added it (cause seriously Marnie >< ) and Im not seeing any errors popping up so I'm guessing it works 😄
wet thunder
oof what did yall do to me XD in just a couple of days I went from 43 to 75 mods
naive drum
except for Gus, but that very very rarely comes up
wet thunder
it comes up more often than you think when you are playing sve haha ><
naive drum
i went from somewhere around the high 400s to uh...probably a little over 600...in about a week because of lenne's list
oh i don't play SVE
wet thunder
I like sve a lot (minus the minnows) and the npcs are fun so I still use it 😄
The self service mod definitely works 😄

Ooo, I like the bigger backpack mod, I like adding things that are gameplay friendly that you can aim towards.
drowsy drum
The self service mod definitely works 😄
@wet thunder okay that's it i'm making a chucklefish account

there is a mod that adds socks with a good bit of defense, called socks of defense or something like that

dire fractal
Not yet, not officially. This year though, is official.
Idk if he'll suddenly drop it on Halloween or near december though???
(I assume it's gonna break a lot of furniture mods though with place everywhere, and sitting coding changes)
shell jackal
Okay, I was just curious as to a ballpark. 🙂 Thank you. I may wait to update the game until all my mods are working with the update.
Custom Furniture is one of my faves
dire fractal
I'm basically not gonna update my game until I wait myself, yeah. I have a long list of mods that are likely gonna get hit haha. But it's exciting!
shell jackal
Yup, I can't wait
dire fractal
Yeah same! Soooo many furniture mods I adore
I can't wait though because with the 'place furniture anywhere' mod, it only allowed vanilla furniture
shell jackal
I also love custom walls and floors, though it doesn't want to work with farmhouse redone. xD
native dragonBOT
@shell jackal You leveled up to Shepherd. Wow, you've been talking a lot! Have a prettier, slightly more brag worthy, shade of blue.
dire fractal
This should have potential to do modded too!
Oh yeah???
Ohhh
I kinda use farmhouse redone
(Minerva's house) - And it DOES glitch sometimes but for most part keeps the walls and floor???
shell jackal
I use that too
dire fractal
Furniture I place though goes haywire and walkies a lot.. lol.
(especially multiplayer...)

I put a custom wallpaper up and next time I logged in it had reverted to a vanilla wall. And I couldn't change it with another custom wall. It just stayed vanilla.

@drowsy drum Rar processor - Rar is a file compression format; 7zip can handle most of these, including Rar

Hmm, that is definitely a weird one. For me, if someone enters my house, sometimes the walls go: lol nah. But never to a point where I can't change it?
shell jackal
I have to use a vanilla wall to change it. shrugs Oh well

No idea. I think I heard that CWF would have to be completely redone from the ground up to work with FHR.

Yeah, I think it's one of the rare ones?

seasonal garden farmhouse works fine with SVE as far as i know, but you can't use the features that need farmhouse redone because it has problems with sve

8 by 20 is the same amount the ChestEx mod author used in their screenshots on the mod page o:
dire fractal
Oooh! Is it? I vaguely remember thinking 'wow this is a lot' haha
I think 5 might be good. Maybe.. 6?
royal arrow
You could hold up like, a piece of paper or something on the screen, cover up to see if that seems ok

ironically i just
used my screenshot tool.. haha
I think i'm gonna go for 5, seems bigger but less intense

Yes!!! It seems so nice because you get to work towards it and unlock it?
wet thunder
yeah
dire fractal
It's why I don't want 'chests anywhere' mod, because it feels almost.. well, no point running back home?
wet thunder
its pricey though. well pricey if you try buying it right away. You have to buy the first two then its for sale for like 50k I think
royal arrow
hehe meanwhile I use both Chests Anywhere and Bigger Backpack 
dire fractal
Oh my goodness! I like the option to name chests in chests anywhere tbh???
I got myself chestex and convenient chests?
royal arrow
do those work together o: ? Know ChestEx and Chests Anywhere are not actually compatible per this: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/7804188-chestex/page-9#entry75877288
that's fun
dire fractal
Yes! On one of them it says they are?
royal arrow
do you have the zip file closed?
rugged hazel
do you have the zip file closed?
@royal arrow Not at all.
Lol. My winrar is actually Paid for
dire fractal
oh hang on
royal arrow
(I ask for clarification because the mod description for ChestEx says it's compatible with Chests Anywhere, but then the mod author posted that post I shared saying they're actually not)
dire fractal
chest ex is meant to be compatible apparently huh with chests anywhere
rugged hazel
Might be the first person to actually pay for the program
dire fractal
yeah ^^^
royal arrow
Papa I meant like, is the zip file you're trying to delete closed (and not open) lol
dire fractal
Looks like that's a chests anywhere problem though rather than chestex?
rugged hazel
Papa I meant like, is the zip file you're trying to delete closed (and not open) lol
@royal arrow Oh. Yes.
wet thunder
apparently theres a more up to date bigger chests mod that instead of making the default chest bigger it adds a craftable bigger chest that costs more
Ill probably just stick with chestex though cause i dont really care about spending more just for a chest
dire fractal
oh hang on no no you're right, not chests everywhere problem
it is chest ex problem a wee bit yeah, you're right
royal arrow
I'm not sure what you should do then Papa, other than trying rebooting the computer to see if then you can delete the zip file o.o
wet thunder
hell the last three chests i made i was too lazy to run all the way back to my materials chest and just gave myself a chest with that one item mod
dire fractal
I think...? it should be okay with convenient chests though. i think.
(I'll be checking soon, need to edit configs)
Also, is the 'Bow' mod working for anyone?
I can't find it in the item spawner, and haven't seen Marlon sell it
(got the most recent version from the creator's website)
Also got myself Farm Rearranger because I hate going to robin to fix things
right, running game now, gonna see how chest ex reacts to convenient chests once it finally loads
wet thunder
oh a farm rearanger? nifty 😄
dire fractal
It seems to be! you need to earn hearts with Robin before you get it, but I like that
wet thunder
i cant even imagine that many mods
like, Im sitting at about 80 and other than a different house layout and maybe an HP bar for monsters I cant even think what else I would want to add. Everythings covered with the mods I have
dire fractal
i definitely do love my mods haha! Also it's likely because I saw other people's mod lists? And I love locations and NPCs, food items etc
Furniture, walls and floors-- So many things
tepid blade
So when moving expanded do I take the stuff in the second stardew valley expanded folder out or do i leave them in the re
dire fractal
Moving, as in updating or?
If yes to updating, yes you have to remove the whole folder
wet thunder
what I did was make a stardew valley expanded folder then put everything in the zip into that one folder
makes it super easy for updating later on
dire fractal
^^^
fair vessel
That works ok if the overall SVE folder still starts with ( punctuation to make sure everything in it loads ahead of all other mods
wet thunder
then again i did that back when each npc still had their own folder so sve was a mess of a mod to install and uninstall
fair vessel
SVE relies somewhat on folder naming/order/hierarchy for everything to work as intended, I forget which glitches exactly are caused by messing with it though.
dire fractal
Really? I've never had issues with SVE to be fair
wet thunder
yeah I dont change any of the sve folders, I just make a new one to hold it all in one location and have never had any issues
dire fractal
(I think the only issue it has is certain edited places + toned down valley)
fair vessel
I don't think it's a situation of widespread glitchiness, more of a minor thing. But that CP folder (Stardew Valley Expanded) is named the way it is to make sure it gets load priority
dire fractal
That makes a lot of sense!
Hi hi yeah?
wet thunder
didnt tone down and sve split ways? that its no longer needed so that might be why you are having issues
remote cedar
So, IF2 expands the initial farm, and with this expansion, comes a LOT of extra debris and other...stuff.

Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
dire fractal
It could be, I use toned down regardless from Minerva's mod place because it tends to be too much for my eyes otherwise
wet thunder
i dont use if2. i dont like all the extra stuff it adds that cant be touched
dire fractal
And yeah, Patchier? I do
Mystic, you can add the config
removes all the 'extra stuff'
dire fractal
yep! all of it, all the fences etc can be gone 😛
remote cedar
I was actually looking for a way to handle the debris easier
wet thunder
well I found a different farm layout for all the original farms so I'm good now
remote cedar
Without cheating with RTF
tepid blade
https://smapi.io/log/d106b0244eea4b5fa27225844277ba3b still lags and ive redow loaded SVE
remote cedar
Is that on the SVE page as well?
dire fractal
Faaar less debris? might help? there isn't really a quicker way apart from the tractor mod or bombs
it's in the actual immersive farm folder
remote cedar
I can't believe I overlooked that.
dire fractal
😛
remote cedar
Thanks, Fox.
royal arrow
@ Patchier, have you seen Tractor mod on nexus o: ? It's more of a late game thing though
dire fractal
No problem! It was recently added
tepid blade
Is the lag caused by SVE or something else
remote cedar
@tepid blade Update SMAPI
tepid blade
Ohh
remote cedar
First and Foremost
tepid blade
Is there a new version i have 3.6
dire fractal
The configs are really really good, loads of customisation you can do
remote cedar
...the newest version is at the top of your log
dire fractal
newest smapi is 3.7.5
royal arrow
Oh I meant because you can use the Tractor to help clear stuff. Mod description and pictures show what it looks like, and the mod author includes detailed descriptions of what the config options are
wet thunder
Oh, Fox, with your 450 mods, how long do your save games take to load? Cause i know even with just the 43 i originally had it takes a moment and sometimes says not responding. sometimes I even have to force close and reopen the game. So do you deal with that too with all those mods?
dire fractal
It's a nice mod, the tractor one, and you can change the configs for how much it costs?
hmm, I have to wait like
10 min?
but I'm used to waiting 30 because of sims modding...
wet thunder
oof thats a long time to wait haha
dire fractal
50gb worth of sims mods.. 😛
royal arrow
(I have 410 mods and it can take around 5min. Sometimes I get the "not responding" message and I wait, then it loads)
remote cedar
Is it in one of the JSONs?
dire fractal
configs only appear when you run the mod in the game at least once!
royal arrow
Patchier, are you familiar with config files? They're generated-yea
wet thunder
open the game first, once at the main menu exit the game then check the folder
remote cedar
Yes
royal arrow
But the mod author provides explanations of the config options in the mod description
dire fractal
I don't even get 'not responding' but I'm on mac and usually watch as my smapi log updates
remote cedar
Maybe it would help if I RTFM
royal arrow
I get the "not responding" only if I accidentally click the window while it's trying to load my save hehe I think because I use Windowed Borderless mode
wet thunder
theres a window borderless mode?
XD I just maximize the game and tune out the small border at the top
dire fractal
oh my gods the colour picker. the. colour picker. On the chest mod.
wet thunder
did they add that recently or is that a mod?
royal arrow
It's been there the whole time o:
dire fractal
wet thunder
😮 yeah? how did i miss that haha
dire fractal
My excited ass wanting to make all the pastel chests
wet thunder
I havent looked at the in game config in years
dire fractal
.. same lol
royal arrow
Oh, first thing I do with any piece of software is mess with every setting, and every once in a while I poke in there again, just in case lol
wet thunder
yeah same though once ive got the settings set i dont normally revisit it until I reinstall the game
