someone make a green hen mod so I can make green eggs and ham in the game, lol

[jaunty rover]

good idea

oh...right you are, lol!

Hey! So, dumb question, does having some of the PPJA mods makes you unable to get some of the completionist achievements? 👀

[jaunty rover]

uh, i dont think so, i think you just need to get everything...

LOL

[dire fractal]

no

https://github.com/StardewModders/mod-ideas/issues/619

[jaunty rover]

its a real challenge but itll make it longer

[dire fractal]

@crisp sage I just posted an unofficial version for Crab Net. Maybe you can try? https://forums.stardewvalley.net/threads/unofficial-mod-updates.2096/post-23247 haven't tested it

[brisk timber]

is there a mod that adds tools to the list of things you can place on tables?

[crisp sage]

@dire fractal yes i can after current day

[wary plaza]

Hmm....I wonder how to fix this error?
https://smapi.io/log/92961199d7e04fc580ed2e4766341908

Do I need to edit the manifest.json files for each variation as well?

[royal arrow]

I think the issue might be how you set this up in your folder structure, lemme scroll up

[proven thicket]

I have, 86 bonus crops, and 30 bonus trees.

[royal arrow]

ok so iirc for More Grass, the content packs need to be structured like so:

the mod you're using is for CP and not More Grass, so the structure isn't correct for More Grass to pick it up

[wary plaza]

even though the original mod in question would be installed as a [CP] folder and not an [MG] folder?

[royal arrow]

right so that's what I'm saying, the mod you're trying to use is written and structured for CP, not MG

you'd have to reconfigure the file / folder structure as well as the png's to get it to work with MG

if you download an MG pack, you'll see what I mean

[wary plaza]

well that's actually really interesting to learn the mechanic between [CP] mods and [MG] mods

🙂

I know exactly what you mean just from those screenshots alone you shared 😉

I was trying to use a tilesheet for a mod that uses individualized images instead

[royal arrow]

nono the individual pngs are also like, "here's an individual flower" so my screenshot doesn't show that

[crisp sage]

@dire fractal it works, thanks

[dire fractal]

great

:)

[simple cloak]

FINALLY about to start my 1.5 playthrough now that Challenging Community Center Bundles updated. Any suggested mods that might have flown under my radar?

[wary plaza]

[CP] mods overwrite and the [MG] mods add to a proverbial collective pool of images to use. That's pretty much the gist between how these two mod "groups" behave, right?

[royal arrow]

that's the gist yes (context is grass, mouse don't come at me lol)

[wary plaza]

So I probably wouldn't really want to use any [CP] grass mods then since I'm using More Grass instead?

[jaunty rover]

im about to do the challenging bundles with ppja, wish me luck

[royal arrow]

correct! I actually had a previous CP grass mod I was using that was completely overwritten by the More Grass content packs, so yeet it out

[wary plaza]

done!

[obsidian swift]

LOL! I just got worried because of the magnitude of the mod so I wanted to check before getting in on the challenge. Thanks

Quick Graphical question regarding dirt/hoe recolor mods

Whats the difference between hoeDirt and hoeDirtDark?

[brisk timber]

I should try that. It sounds like you can do it mid game as long as you load up a fresh one once?

[jaunty rover]

i believe so, not 100% sure though

[lapis void]

one is unwatered, one is watered afaik

[jaunty rover]

yeah that sounds abt right :D

[restive zodiac]

It's for the locations with dark dirt, like Mountains, Mines, etc

[exotic cipher]

heyo, on the compatability list on smapi it says convenient chests is updated and working with 1.5, but some features aren't working in 1.5

not sure how to submit a change on the website

[restive zodiac]

Hm, if it "mostly works" but just has bugs or needs updating to use new content, the compatibility page seems like it would be accurate.

[fading helm]

ah, then what does the side by side mean within hoeDirt, is that the seasonal differences of the texture?

[exotic cipher]

it has two main features, stashing all your stuff in chests with a button and crafting from nearby chests. crafting from nearby chests isnt working

so half of the functionality of the mod isn't really working with the new update

[lapis void]

BetterWorkbenches has that feature

[pliant chasm]

the left is the tilled dirt, the right is overlaid on top when it's wet

[exotic cipher]

really? thanks for the tip!!

[fading helm]

Huh, then what causes the difference between hoeDirt and hoeDirtDark // when/where is the darker dirt used?

[terse pilot]

Give me a moment and I will get a log

[restive zodiac]

Dark dirt

Is there anywhere else besides mountain and mine levels that have that kind of dirt?

[exotic cipher]

the better workbench mod is a bit different from the feature from convenient chests

[terse pilot]

Here's the log for my issue regarding the|| banana and mango|| saplings not planting on Ginger Island: https://smapi.io/log/4c070ca3af6947e6b5eb5987e8a2a404

The saplings do just fine in my greenhouse and farm on Stardew mainland.

[simple cloak]

Whats everyones favorite clothing mods?

[exotic cipher]

i like https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2872

[jaunty rover]

i dont use any clothing mods :D i like the base game clothes

[royal arrow]

I would point you to my beautiful categorized mod list but it's for 1.4.5 😔 so you'd have to check carefully if the mod works in 1.5

[jaunty rover]

HOWEVER.... if you use clothes mods, theres the tailor mouse

[simple cloak]

I'd take that list anyway!

[fading helm]

Ah sorry, didn't realize you were answering the question // thanks for the answer!

[jaunty rover]

which is really nice :D

[royal arrow]

Also I think of "disperse cuddle puddle" lol

[outer turret]

Sometimes they move further into the bed.

And block me even more!

[exotic cipher]

cant you phase through them if you keep running into them

[outer turret]

Not always. The other day I tried coming in from the spouse side but it didnt trigger the dialogue box to sleep.

Because I hadnt gone far enough.

Maybe I'll try moving the bed.

[exotic cipher]

I don't think I've seen my cat in my bed once since upgrading my house and getting married

[pliant chasm]

sounds like they don't like your spouse

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

[simple cloak]

@royal arrow this list is nuts thank you so much

[restive zodiac]

Does it work without Better Fruit Trees?

It's also worth mentioning that the last update for SVE fixed a lot of issues people kept reporting, so you should probably update to avoid them.

[royal arrow]

you're welcome!

[short oracle]

Has any had any issue with the new patch and modded livestock? I noticed that the game update the white chicken, duck and dinosaur files

[royal arrow]

yes, animal recolors will need to be updated for 1.5 (iirc)

[brisk timber]

huh, npc map locations just spazzed out on loading and tanked my UI. but it's fine after trying again

[terse pilot]

I have updated already, including all mods that were available to update.

But, I'll remove BFT to see if that does anything.

[short oracle]

Thanks for the heads up

[brisk timber]

@jaunty rover I read the description wrong, I guess. if you're starting a new game, you have to save and load once for the bundles to work. if it's an existing save the act of loading it makes the bundles show up

[restive zodiac]

That log looks like it is from today and still definitely has issues though

[brisk timber]

jesus they weren't kidding when they named the mod challenging though

[jaunty rover]

thats how i interpreted your message, thats right :D

and yes it is challenging which is gonna make me actually wanna play the game

[brisk timber]

I thought you had to start a new game once, like the internal bundles were only regenerated on a new start

[restive zodiac]

(If you've since fixed all these, new logs are always best for information purposes hehe)

[terse pilot]

It is from today, and the PyTk is the unofficial until the other has been fixed. As far as SDVE, I need to get rid of that one.

[restive zodiac]

The main one is updated though

[terse pilot]

I'll be back in a few to see if any of that helps.

https://smapi.io/log/3ccec4ac6de048479c0223e65f22b138

[sweet bloom]

The error seems to be caused by NPC map locations, if you contact @sonic holly with this log he might be able to help you

[terse pilot]

Welp. It was the mods. *sigh
Thank you for the help, @restive zodiac

It's almost always that simple ;_;

[simple cloak]

@royal arrow Do you know if A Less Yellow Stardew is compatible with 1.5?

[royal arrow]

It wasn't updated for 1.4 proper, so, gonna go with no lol

[simple cloak]

Lmao

Do you have any recs for a recolor?

[royal arrow]

A Toned Down Stardew and Foliage Redone apparently work ok on 1.5

[sweet bloom]

what happens if you pickup your bed and never place it down again?

[royal arrow]

I'm personally staying off 1.5 for another 2 months so all I got is my 1.4.5 recs and repeating what I've seen other people say here regarding 1.5 mods lol

[simple cloak]

Why 2 months specifically?

[royal arrow]

giving people more time to update
you may have noticed I use a couple mods

when the 1.4 update dropped, it took about 2 months for all the mods I wanted to be updated, and back then I only had about 60 (I have 443 now )

[sweet bloom]

i decided to attempt to update everything today, i have 400ish too

[restive zodiac]

I guess you will spend a lot of uncomfortable nights on your floor and your spouse will be unhappy :P

[sacred iris]

I just need the PPJA suite to work in local co-op 😢

[sweet bloom]

i think i will be missing only chestex and the furniture mods

[fading helm]

@pliant chasm I just noticed that for your Dirt & Cliff recolor, for the horizontal line of watered hoe dirt's it overlays as a straight line, idk if intended but I just wanted to let ya know

[sweet bloom]

does it not work atm?

[brisk timber]

any opinions on witchy valley vs stardew alchemy? is one better than the other? any reason not to use both?

[royal arrow]

porque no los dos is a good solution, I hear you

depends on whether they will overwrite each other (could be a problem), or if they both just add new things (would likely be ok), or if 1 adds things while the other replaces things (would also likely be ok)

[sacred iris]

@sweet bloom Negative. It seems like something in JSON Assets is 'pinging' both players, causing huge lag whenever one zones.
https://smapi.io/log/06eab88c26ab41cf9c3400c733803e0a

[brisk timber]

they look relatively independent, but neither seems to mention anything about the other

ah, witchy is incompatible with another mod I have for the time being. easy decision I guess

[sweet bloom]

i use Alchemy, but i haven't used the content from this mod yet

[sweet bloom]

that is sad to hear, there is also some spacecore loops in this log

[brisk timber]

yeah it looks like it doesn't start until year 2 so I wont' see it for a bit either

[dusty arrow]

i can't get smapi to recognize any of my crop ppja mods. it's not even in the log because it just doesnt see them in the folder. I reinstalled each one, but nothin. any ideas?

[native dragon]

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

[sweet bloom]

are you installing manually or using loaders?

[dusty arrow]

ive tried both

well, ppja only allows manual

[restive zodiac]

Can you share your log please?

Thanks.

[restive zodiac]

Can you show a screenshot of this folder where you said you've installed the PPJA folders? C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods

[restive zodiac]

I'm not really familiar with Vortex and generally recommend installing manually, but I know it has an article for how to install SMAPI through it in its modding docs. Have you checked there?

[restive zodiac]

That is a different folder

It looks like you have multiple installs of the game, so that would be why your changes aren't reflected in both folders

[royal arrow]

This is the doc in question https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Modding_Stardew_Valley_with_Vortex#:~:text=To begin%2C open up Vortex,to confirm your active game

[dusty arrow]

oh weird

[pliant chasm]

vanilla hoedirt is the same way

[dusty arrow]

😅 i guess i better get hunting hahaha

thank you

[dire fractal]

No youll still have to put the command line in

Otherwise it wont recognize it as running with steam

[sweet bloom]

"C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

[dire fractal]

Most of the steps are the same, you want the command line in launch options and you'll still run it through steam. Vortex is more of a fancy thing to keep track of mods imo

[sweet bloom]

is the default

[dire fractal]

You have to run the smapi installer again. Also, you don't need to have smapi installed through vortex. I recommend uninstalling 9t from vortex and deleting the archive, then downloading smapi seperately

But nat posted the default command line up there

No problem c:

[runic summit]

is there a mod that removes the snow affect? its starting to strain my eyes

[placid raft]

Hey, i've played SDV on switch before. I got it on pc when it was on sale. i want to use mods. Are they compatible with the most recent update, and when the game updates in future, will that effect the mods in anyway?

[sick minnow]

Mod compatibility depends on the modders and yes every major update some big mods will need to be updated to work

[royal arrow]

!compat

[native dragon]

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

[royal arrow]

the compatibility list is for C# SMAPI mods only, but it's a good place to start

[scarlet grove]

i was wondering whats the best way to mod stardew valley

[royal arrow]

on nexus, the "works with 1.5" tag is available, so you can search by that. Note that there may be mods that are compatible with 1.5 but don't have the tag, so it's up to you to check mod descriptions and comments

[placid raft]

thanks

the main mod i want to use is one which increases speed cause its so slow. and a minimap.

[royal arrow]

in the getting started guide linked in the Governor message above, there are steps about how to set up Steam launch options. Which step are you stuck on?

[sick minnow]

https://smapi.io/log/0ca3b55fc48a4cb0b36372738bf78729

Cheers, my mod list is minimal too so idk

[rare quest]

Hmm. a log won't help much in this case. I'll look at the event code.

[restive zodiac]

(In addition to Lenne's comment, think of how little anyone knows about the context of your question without the log. Mods must be involved since you're in this channel, but which mods? Logs have all that bare minimum context.)

[hybrid ravine]

I've installed it and installed the mods. But it doesn't seem to work if I launch it through steam itself. But if I launch with the SMAPI version, then the mods work but the steam overlay doesn't work

[restive zodiac]

(It doesn't mean that the error will show there, but for the initial "whose problem is it" most people won't know where to point you immediately without it)

[royal arrow]

(yea my initial thought was "perhaps it's something directly within SVE, but for all we know, it could be a weird conflict with another mod")

[royal arrow]

It sounds like you may not have set up the Steam launch options. The getting started guide includes instructions on how to do that https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide
That's why launching through Steam doesn't load mods (it's launching the vanilla / base game), but launching SMAPI does load mods (but isn't connected to Steam)

[wary plaza]

[scarlet grove]

um, this is kinda dumb, but i cant find where to launch the mod

[livid magnet]

PFM Automate doesn't have a config file?

[orchid locust]

I don't it much anyway as it lags out the Host whenever the game has to randomly generate a new screen.

[toxic peak]

no idea

[thorn jay]

Are any big mods with more heart events / dialog fixed for 1.5 yet?

[orchid locust]

I want to test this fix without playing a whole day, I SMAPI keeps the most recently saved day as a backup right? So I could play the day without Deep Woods installed making sure the Season Progresses. Then delete my save file and rename the backup file to the same filename as the main save and have the last day to play over?

[dire fractal]

I looked up Abigail on nexus and I deeply regret it

Hey guys! I forgot to remove a piece of furniture outside on my farm before updating, and now in its stead there's one of those loot chests from the dungeons where it was placed, anyone know if theres anything I can do to fix it?

@silent plover https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Edit_a_save

Why would they be broken 😮 ?

[outer turret]

Most pretty much survived it.

[toxic peak]

are saves binary?

[pliant swallow]

Saves are just XML files

[queen hinge]

I am either having issues with a mod or I didn't understand something, because somebody in here said that crafting 5 at a time is a vanilla issue and I tried again and it wasn't

[toxic peak]

then probably you can identify the broken object with some mod tool in game ui object info, locate it in the save file by some id and just oof it

[unreal stratus]

Don't think it does

@unreal stratus I don't think "Canon-Friendly Dialogue Expansion for All Friend-able Characters" survived 1.5, anyways

[exotic cipher]

I have a weird problem where artifact spots don't show up. I don't have any evidence for this except for the fact that I haven't seen one yet and I'm at winter lol. Would vibrant pastoral be the culprit and can I fix it with mouses content patcher re-applier thing?

[restive zodiac]

CFDE was updated earlier in the week (I would expect most dialogue mods that selectively edit to be okay though, just not have new content. Not 100% though.)

[errant reef]

[exotic cipher]

[keen moss]

CFDE works fine in 1.5. gizzymo is going to update it with new content after he plays through 1.5 more.

oki so it looks like you have an SVE folder, but then also an SVE - NPC Name folder in there for several NPCs. You'd have to hunt down and delete all of them and install the latest version to make sure

[unreal stratus]

weird

Doesn't seem like any of the mods should add wheat seeds

[scarlet grove]

@royal arrow https://smapi.io/log

[wary plaza]

oh wait, someone beat me to it

xD LOL!

[royal arrow]

that is the log parser site, yes. Doesn't have your specific link o:

[scarlet grove]

oh

gimme a sec

[exotic cipher]

You're the best!!!

[wary plaza]

Is it because wheat seeds are a summer and fall item? It looks like the shopping list for the Joja Mart is grouped by season or something 🤔

[brisk timber]

Does SVE (and I guess large content mods in general) usually cause a heavy delay in loading? It takes a good 30-45 seconds for me to load in after selecting a save, where vanilla probably takes 5.

[scarlet grove]

https://smapi.io/log/3f49d2fc5b3043ad9afa72ac2c0e00f6

[unreal stratus]

@pulsar terrace I'd wait for Pathoschild to show up tbh

[scarlet grove]

i think that might work

[royal arrow]

yes it did! As you can see from the Skipped mods section, SVE didn't load because you are missing several mods. The error messages include which mods you need to download, with convenient links!

[scarlet grove]

oh

[wary plaza]

I would say yes. Creating a new character with the “Skip Intro” caused a noticeable “freeze” in the game after clicking start.

Same with loading a save file as well

[strange orbit]

Anyone who’s got SDE downloaded the new ridgeside village? How are you finding it?

[brisk timber]

Fair enough. I was hoping I had a bad mod or config or something I could drop, but that was being optimistic.

It's not like 30s is the end of the world anyway

[royal arrow]

yea it adds a ton of assets and modifies a lot of stuff, so it takes time

[wary plaza]

Thank you for reminding me! I need to download the extra NPC mods such as Ridgeside and Boarding House!

[royal arrow]

if you see some lag while playing though, do let us know. We have a tweak that may help

[crisp sage]

My wifes ignoring me

[wary plaza]

Would this tweak help my heavily modded Starbound game? 😜

[strange orbit]

I’ve just added SDE today so just exploring but I’ve seen ridgeside and it looks so good! Just don’t want it to be too overwhelming 😅😂

[royal arrow]

HA! Doubtful, it's a config setting for monsters in the FTM component of SVE :p

[hushed goblet]

How do you adjust the deploy order in Vortex?

I updated SMAPI, but now it's loading last..

[brisk timber]

I do get a tiny stutter when I walk out my door for the first time every day and occasionally when I'm fishing, but I can kinda live with that

Are you running SDV or SMAPI in vortex?

[hushed goblet]

Both, yes

[brisk timber]

Like, which executable do you use to start the game

[hushed goblet]

The play button in Vortex

[brisk timber]

Go to dashboard. There should be a smapi entry at the bottom you can set as the primary

[wary plaza]

I’m launching SDV through the Steam client with the SMAPI command-line argument. Disregard. Thought you were asking me 😅

[unreal stratus]

I'm biased 👀

[brisk timber]

And then the play button will open smapi rather than the vanilla exe

[strange orbit]

I’d love to hear your opinion though!

[hushed goblet]

Oooh, it looks like it's already flagged

[brisk timber]

And what happens if you start it with that button?

Because smapi is what you load. I dont see how it could come last

[royal arrow]

Obamoose is one of the Ridgeside Village mod authors, hence the nickname heehee 😁

[hushed goblet]

Okay, it still seems to be loading SMAPI first, so the deploy order is red herring, hah

[royal arrow]

bamboozled

[brisk timber]

If you paste your error log on

!log

[native dragon]

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

[brisk timber]

We can help

[strange orbit]

I guessed haha! Still, I’d love to hear people’s opinions on it or any advice ☺️

[hushed goblet]

Bah. I uninstalled and reinstalled SVE, and it's still throwing the same error. Hmm

[royal arrow]

I think Obamoose's point was they'd recommend the mod

[brisk timber]

Ridgeside puts Ysabelle into the game so that's all the reason I need to use it

[royal arrow]

I've forgotten what your issue was 😅 share new log?

[dire fractal]

Anyone have a good greenhouse mod?

[wary plaza]

Greenhouse V2 something or another

It doesn’t have any hard dependencies I think

[hushed goblet]

It throws an error like this for each new NPC: 17:44:35 ERROR Content Patcher Two content packs want to load the 'Characters\Sophia' asset (Stardew Valley Expanded and Stardew Valley Expanded - Sophia NPC). Neither will be applied. You should remove one of the content packs, or ask the authors about compatibility.

[royal arrow]

ah, thanks for the recap! Do you have a folder called "Stardew Valley Expanded - Sophia NPC"? That still needs to be deleted. Same for all the other NPCs for which there's an error

[thorn jay]

The Canon-Friendly Dialogue Expansion mod doesn't currently work in 1.5
People said so on Nexus and I tested it personally and I'm not getting any extra dialogue

[hushed goblet]

I don't, that's the confusing thing

[brisk timber]

Was she previously some kind of addon for SVE?

[hushed goblet]

This is my mods folder

[rare quest]

SVE folder structure has changed quite significantly over the years.

[hushed goblet]

Sorry, SVE is in there but I had to refresh it

[brisk timber]

That looks like your staging folder

[brisk timber]

Yeah that's just where vortex unzips mods

You want the /mods folder inside the game directory

[hushed goblet]

ooo

[unreal stratus]

It can be overwhelming while downloading!

You probably think:
OH NO! A huge new map + a ton of new characters!

But they're not always in Pelican town so you won't get overwhelmed! 😄 You'll slowly get to know the characters via their dialogue along with new events & quests based on their heart levels!

You will get a tiny tour the moment you step foot in the village to make it easier to adjust to the new area.

The mod was only released 17 days ago so it's still in development. We're doing our best to fix any grammatical/spelling errors + adding a ton of new dialogue & interactions, so please bear with us!

Sorry for the wall of text ;_;

[hushed goblet]

Vortex, why you gotta be confusing

[strange orbit]

Thank you so much, I’m going to download it tomorrow 😁

[late nebula]

I always recommend that people should just avoid Vortex.

[hushed goblet]

Okay, so I should be able to remove these, then?

[late nebula]

No one has issues... until they do.

[brisk timber]

There you gi

And vortex is fine if you know how to use it

[wary plaza]

TL;DR...guess what. I’m gonna download it anyway 😜

[hushed goblet]

I know enough to be dangerous.. LOL

[dire fractal]

I can't find greenhouse v2

[brisk timber]

So those mods aren't installed in vortex?

[royal arrow]

ye go ahead and delete those

[rare quest]

@hushed goblet That is a very old mod folder haha. You'll need to remove all IF2R, SVE and Karmylla's Immersive Maps (SVE adds its own town + interior maps now).

[wary plaza]

In all seriousness though I did read everything you typed Obamoose 😊

[hushed goblet]

It's annoying because I "uninstalled" everything in Vortex, but it didn't actually remove anything!

[brisk timber]

If you haven't manually installed anything in that folder, hit purge in vortex

[unreal stratus]

That's weird. Mine works perfectly. Haley says nice things to me when we're married.

[rare quest]

I've heard about lots of folks having issues with vortex. Picky said devs are working to improve it.

[hushed goblet]

Yay, no error messages! 🙂

[brisk timber]

When you purge files, everything that's left is not installed in vortex and can be cleaned up if it wasnt deliberately put there

Just in case you have more old mods in there throwing errors

[royal arrow]

Vortex is just quirky with SDV 🤷🏽 if you're determined to use a mod manager, we recommend ModDrop, although we recommend manual install over having a mod manager

[hushed goblet]

Yea, good to know.. I do have a bunch in there that are old and likely havent been updated as a result

[unreal stratus]

Stardew mods are really easy to install. The only reason I'd use a mod manager personally is for mod-packs

[dire fractal]

There are so many greenhouse mods idk which one to pick

[brisk timber]

You can always purge to check and then immediately deploy again to put it back the way it was

[unreal stratus]

Can you define greenhouse mod? More greenhouses or different greenhouses?

[dire fractal]

Different

[royal arrow]

more greenhouses
👀
is this a thing?!

[hushed goblet]

Thanks for the help everyone! ❤️ 🙂

[brisk timber]

I mainly use vortex so I dont have to deal with nexus's awful mod tracking system for updates

[dire fractal]

Yeah

[unreal stratus]

Check if Haley says anything from here

[dire fractal]

Theres a mod that lets you buy a greenhouse that Robin will make

[royal arrow]

I mostly rely on sorting my Download History on nexus based on Update Date. SMAPI's little notifications are also helpful though

[brisk timber]

Smapi does help, that was something I wasnt expecting when I started modding sdv

[restive zodiac]

(Since IsGreenhouse is just a map property, you can also make buildable greenhouses or make various interiors greenhouses)

[brisk timber]

Oh man, bunker greenhouses need to happen

[unreal stratus]

👀

[royal arrow]

I don't even use the greenhouse that much, but this is still exciting news

[late nebula]

I use this to track mod updates
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2536

[brisk timber]

And they will in my theoretical never-going-to-get-around-to-it apocalypse mof

[dire fractal]

I found one called treehouse greenhouse that's pretty cool

[restive zodiac]

(re: the map property thing, that's how the Buildable Greenhouse mod worked for example - it's just a regular TMXL interior, j ust has the flag on it so it works as an expensive greenhouse hehe)

[royal arrow]

speaking of TMXL Buildables, for people who use them: do you generally see some lag when you open up the buildable menu?

[late nebula]

I like the seasonal greenhouse one. Not sure if it's working with 1.5 though.

[thorn jay]

Some of the patches of dirt turned red for no obvious reason. Fall, just after season turnover, using the Crop Grace Period mod, I used an ax to clear out all my crops.
When I hoe near it the new soil becomes red too

[arctic iris]

Hey y'all. IDK who is available to help me here but, I just finished updating the mods that needed updating.

What's odd is that in my log:

smapi.io/log/bc70779a1bc84677aed4ae314dcfc9f3

It says for me to update the Fruits & Veggies Legacy for CP and the More Food Recipes for Json Assets. But I just updated them all already so why are they still appearing in my log?

[covert basalt]

at SVE the sewers should be this way?

[brisk timber]

Thank you for giving me a mod I've been looking for but forgetting to ask about in here

[covert basalt]

looks odd the break of the fog

[thorn jay]

@brisk timber You're welcome

[brisk timber]

More food recipes might be the one I have where the author forgot to update the version

[rare quest]

SVE doesn't edit the sewers

[thorn jay]

Also, I think the red soil is due to the mod working by keeping already-planted crops the same color as the previous season

[brisk timber]

So you're keeping last season's soil?

[thorn jay]

Apparently! Not sure if fall crops will die if I plant on it

[royal arrow]

I mean, you could always pickaxe that spot, and till it anew, if you weren't sure o:

[wary plaza]

My apologies. When I mentioned a “Greenhouse V2” mod, I mixed up remember the name for this mod instead: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6005

It wasn’t a greenhouse mod at all

[restive zodiac]

I don't personally, but I don't use nearly as many packs as I've seen some people use. I don't really like the menus being super filled up, although before tile rotation support my map editing pack took up a lot of space by itself 🙄

[royal arrow]

the only one I have is the secret passages something-or-other one lol (I never remember the full name)

[unreal stratus]

That's vanilla sewers, no?

[royal arrow]

and I only use it to get to Greg from Boarding House faster p:

[covert basalt]

im using SVE, idk if sve change anything at sewers

[unreal stratus]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1598 This is the current version

[royal arrow]

Flash said SVE doesn't edit the sewers

[covert basalt]

but this one is SVE i can keep buying the recipe with no stop

[late nebula]

This is my fave greenhouse
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5431

[unreal stratus]

FlashShifter is the dev of SVE. He said it doesn't 😛

[covert basalt]

same, is it updated?

[late nebula]

Not sure

[covert basalt]

@rare quest

[late nebula]

I haven't been able to play cause I'm trying to get stuff sorted out for school next semester.. and for quitting my job.

[covert basalt]

i just saw it now, xD

[covert basalt]

oh nice, good luck

[unreal stratus]

Glazed Butterfish is from SVE, yes

[covert basalt]

i mean, i didnt see the answer below xD

[rare quest]

If you're able to keep buying that recipe, that's most likely a bug with Json Assets and should be reported to spacechase.

[unreal stratus]

You can buy it but not unlock?

[covert basalt]

Oh thx for info! Love ya

[royal arrow]

ye I've heard of other people not seeing recipes disappear after buying them

[covert basalt]

is spacechase online these days? or way cause of holidays?

[royal arrow]

I think space is aware

[unreal stratus]

He's online right now lol

[tall minnow]

Hello. I was just wondering if anyone had an alternative link to download MTN (more than necessary). Its not updated yet and doesn't appear to be getting updated any time soon. Is there like a player or different modder that has taken over that mod project?

[rare quest]

MTN is super broken iirc

[covert basalt]

@fast river for me he is off

ops haahhah i marked him

NOOOOO

dumb marcelo

[tall minnow]

Mtn still works fine for me, smapi just wont allow me to play cause its out of date for the 1.5 update

[rare quest]

Right haha

[restive zodiac]

It was buggy even before the update and now several of its features are obsoleted and likely broken further

[brisk timber]

I'm worried MTN won't come back. I loved those massive maps

[rare quest]

MTN isn't required for massive maps 😛

[tall minnow]

yeah I am too, it would really really be a shame if it dies now.

[rare quest]

SDV 1.5 adds map properties that basically do what MTN did.

[tall minnow]

The mods wont run without it though

[brisk timber]

yeah I just remembered that. I guess we just need some maps converted

[restive zodiac]

You can have giant maps without MTN and 1.5 added new map properties that let mappers move hardcoded farm features, plus maps are just maps and can be converted to replacers or whatever.

[arctic iris]

@unreal stratus I already updated everything yet it keeps appearing as something that needs to be updated

[restive zodiac]

I just think "new farm types" needs a total rethink to something more simple given all the latest game features, so I am crossing my fingers for farm support in JA rewrite :P

[rare quest]

New farm types would be great.

[tall minnow]

ok but like how can i then deal with my mods telling me that they NEED mtn to run. is there like a way to just simply ignore or?

[brisk timber]

@arctic iris this is an issue with more recipes, right?

[tall minnow]

smapi is still very new to me

[muted pagoda]

use other mods, unfortunately

[unreal stratus]

He's alive!

[brisk timber]

those maps either have to be updated to match 1.5 or abandoned

[tall minnow]

the maps are already updated i think.

[arctic iris]

@brisk timber Just only the problem that it says to updated it when it's already been updated

[restive zodiac]

Check for a CP version of the mod, or tinker with it to convert it to replace another type yourself. The maps themselves should work, just might need some tidying. There are not a lot of MTN maps out there though, so there are tons of CP ones to choose from.

[arctic iris]

@brisk timber Same with the Json Assets one

[brisk timber]

yeah the dev of more recipes commented about how they forgot to update the version number and it has to wait until the next big update because of some nexus policies. it's nothing to worry about

[arctic iris]

Noice

But the Json Assets one, it's the same as the More Recipes one

[royal arrow]

you can manually update the version number yourself if you like, by opening the manifest.json with any text editor (Notepad or Notepad++)

[unreal stratus]

Hold I'm confused

[royal arrow]

but if you know you have the latest version, you're good

[unreal stratus]

Paradigm updated the manifest for more recipes though

[arctic iris]

Alrighty

[brisk timber]

json assets shouldn't be flagged as out of date though

[unreal stratus]

Version 1.6
Added support for SMAPI 2.5+ Content Packs (renaming content-pack to manifest)
Fixes an issue with version number for update checks

[royal arrow]

if the only update was to the manifest.json or an otherwise super small edit, then nexus will "eat" the update. It doesn't like tiny edits to text files

[brisk timber]

nexus apparently won't recognize a version increment if the update is too small

[restive zodiac]

(What is the question? hehe)

[unreal stratus]

And @arctic iris has the Legacy version when he needs https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1598

[brisk timber]

I knew I was bound to mess up at least one manifest yesterday :```

[royal arrow]

I've taken to adding a blurb in a readme like "here are some sentences about why this is happening because nexus does XYZ" so that nexus accepts my update lol

[muted pagoda]

legacy sprites, thats something different

[unreal stratus]

He has Fruits & Veggies Legacy for Content Patcher

[royal arrow]

the legacy version is optional?

[arctic iris]

Sorry I should be more specific about the Json Assets, it's telling me to update:

More Food: A collection of Recipes for Json Assets.

I've already updated that too

[brisk timber]

yeah more food is fine

[arctic iris]

Noice. So... Just the authors small prob then?

[brisk timber]

yup

[arctic iris]

Yay..? XD

Thanks for the help yall

I always love this group herr

*here

[unreal stratus]

@brisk timber Help me out here lol. I don't understand

[brisk timber]

what's wrong?

[royal arrow]

@ Obamoose, here you are, the replied message and this below:
I've taken to adding a blurb in a readme like "here are some sentences about why this is happening because nexus does XYZ" so that nexus accepts my update lol

[tall minnow]

does anyone know if there is a non MTN version for the Ace's expanded farms maps? https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2711?tab=files

[unreal stratus]

That's true, but it didn't eat that one ;___;

[royal arrow]

because the update wasn't only to the version # in the manifest.json lol

[unreal stratus]

He needs to remove this from his folder:
Fruits & Veggies Legacy for Content Patcher 1.0.2

[brisk timber]

it seems like those are just optional sprites

was updated like a week ago

[unreal stratus]

Yes and he has the latest update:
Fruits and Veggies for JsonAssets 2.0.14

[viscid pond]

@tall minnow yup, they're on Nexus, too

[muted pagoda]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7058 that is this, it replaces sprites the vanilla game absorbed with ppja versions that existed

[unreal stratus]

Ah! Please excuse me. I'm stupid.

[royal arrow]

is it coffee time or bed time? :p (I tease)

[unreal stratus]

It's almost 2 am so you raise a fair point

[dire fractal]

I got the seasonal outfit mod

[royal arrow]

oho MysticBooka is here o:

[wet thunder]

speaking of which, I went to redownload that the other day and noticed they had a cuter version so I went with that instead and omg its adorable

O_o yeah? was I needed? haha

[royal arrow]

no it's just been a while

hallo!

[wet thunder]

oh, yeah I guess I don't talk as often as I used to. That makes me feel good though that someone noticed haha

[restive zodiac]

Nexus lets you search for terms, or list all mods by an author. https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/988

[tall minnow]

Yeah thank you! I found it but forgot to say. Me and my bf are picking out the new map right now.

[wet thunder]

1.5 destroyed my mods though and I decided to go on a mod apocalypse. Uninstalled smpai and deleted everything in the folder. Then went and redownloaded only the mods I loved the most (that still worked) Went from like 230+ mods to like 80+ according to smapi

[royal arrow]

ye I made a copy of 1.4.5 so my mods are safe and sound~

[wet thunder]

I miss chestex

[royal arrow]

I'm waiting another 2 months to give mod authors time to update hehe

[wet thunder]

on the plus side, that one old error of mine of the random empty pre-smapi folder that smapi complained about but the game wouldn't run without it is now gone so woo! and I also figured out how to fix any mod that smapi complains about not having update keys. its actually really easy to fix

[jolly urchin]

how do I download stardew mods again

[unreal stratus]

!gettingstarted

[native dragon]

If you would like a guide to setting up mods for Stardew Valley, check out the getting started guide! https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide

[jolly urchin]

okay ty

[unreal stratus]

I have a ton of respect for the modders seeing endless posts on their nexus with:
"Update plz"

[royal arrow]

I contemplated shutting down comments sections to avoid this thankfully all my mods ended up being ok, and the "works with 1.5" tag was available from day 1, so I used that to be as proactive as possible

[shell jackal]

I love the maps in Ace's

[late nebula]

I'm just getting random bug reports.

[livid magnet]

hmms

[restive zodiac]

I'm only actively checking one mod at the moment (though I guess I should peek at Starblue...) and got actually helpful comment because I forgot to remove shipping bin from farm 😎

[wet thunder]

@royal arrow now im curious on what mods are yours

[royal arrow]

so I'm in day 14 of summer and I think almost every day has begun with the "breezy" song. I feel like a mod is doing this but idk why
Log will be ugly as all get out because I'm still on 1.4.5 and all the mod updates are for 1.5
I got a patch summary here https://smapi.io/log/5e1c3abebb8549a39dcd12b0cb541c8d

[royal arrow]

do you mean mods I made, or mods I use o.o?

[wet thunder]

made

[wary plaza]

Okay I’m back with dessert 😁

Time to download some more mods, lol

[royal arrow]

ah, well feel free to peruse my nexus page

[late nebula]

At first I though that was just a bowl of whipped cream and fudge

[wary plaza]

That’s.......not a bad idea actually

[late nebula]

I was excited.

Cause I would do that

[wary plaza]

I've noticed the two recipies in the adventure guild house shop thingy that there are two void recipes that don't disappear after buying them as well

[wet thunder]

OH! I use some of your mods haha yeah easier stable and easier bee house both survived the modocalypse

[jolly urchin]

I downloaded my first mod in a year

[wet thunder]

looking over these others I found some I like

[unreal stratus]

now I'm hungry lol

https://smapi.io/log/7438a34b67364a3d8adb79d185c2b938 My game crashed after winter 28

No trace of any issues in smapi log

[royal arrow]

Obamoose, do you use DeepWoods and/or are you in multiplayer?

[unreal stratus]

No to both 😦

[royal arrow]

DeepWoods seems to be causing crash on season change (day 28 of any season) in multiplayer, but idk about single player

oh no

[unreal stratus]

What's causing it with DeepWoods?

[royal arrow]

outside of this, idk lol the mod author has 2 bug reports for it on nexus though

[wary plaza]

Hmm....did I mess up installing NPC Map Locations? The minimap doesn't seem to match the stone texture that my character is actually standing on... 🤔

https://smapi.io/log/f663bb0ea7c64be19a58051698557cf8

[late nebula]

The mini map isn't created from actual game textures.

So you would need a custom one if you want it to match. It's just a piece of art.

[wary plaza]

I honestly did not realize that, lol.

[royal arrow]

that is a cute recolor though, foliage redone right?

[wary plaza]

I must’ve been thinking like how minimaps in Minecraft behave since in that game the minimap uses the same texture/color as seen in the actual game.

[wary plaza]

Yup!

[royal arrow]

(is it sad or good that I recognize them? eh, I used it for a while, gonna go with good lol)

[wary plaza]

I can't even remember what the game would look like without the recolor at the moment, lol

[royal arrow]

mouse o.o any ideas on what I can search to see what mod is changing the music for the day o: ? I don't use any Custom Music things

[royal arrow]

it's very yellow my favoritest recolor of all time is A Less Yellow Stardew (ALYS)

[wet thunder]

I feel you, I was doing some mod testing for a mod creator earlier where I had to remove SVE to test something and man I did not recognize the map at all

[wary plaza]

ALYS reminds me of Alys Brangwin from the Sega Genesis RPG Phantasy Star IV

[royal arrow]

is not familiar with this reference, I was a PlayStation child

[wary plaza]

Last message about it before I go too far off topic, lol

Is there a mod that lets me configure the options without having to create a character first?

Lady...I'm standing here in my underwear and I haven't cleaned up a single pixel of debris since I started this throwaway save, lol!

[late nebula]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5190

[royal arrow]

the dialog doesn't take--MAYTHORN YOU LIFE SAVER

I thought there was no hope

[late nebula]

Don't know if it works, but it exists

[wary plaza]

I’m also hearing this weird water splash sound every now and then

Not sure what’s causing it.

Do fish sometimes jump out of the water as a kind of ambience effect?

[wanton idol]

any way to automate egg collection?

[wary plaza]

Putting a chest next to a farm coop and use the Automate mod? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[royal arrow]

I would say Deluxe Autograbber, but that isn't working for 1.5 🕯️

[wanton idol]

@wary plaza doesnt work

[unreal stratus]

Config file appears after starting smapi, no?

[wary plaza]

I was referring to these options btw. I might have to look at that mod that was suggested to me a couple messages up:

[wet thunder]

Deluxe autograbber works. I've been using it myself on my newest 1.5 file. Granted I've only used the global forage option so far but that works. Within the comments of that mod page is a link to an unofficial update

[royal arrow]

I thought they had taken down the unofficial update for 1.5 because it was ||eating the golden walnuts||

[wet thunder]

oh i haven't gotten that far

Ive never seen those islands but if you aren't that far it works fine

[wary plaza]

I think I can finally delete this save file now since I just got the "Joja Co. Member Of The Year" achievement?

[wet thunder]

oof, i tried that once and i felt too bad for the little sprites to continue

[royal arrow]

I only got a Joja membership to take some screenshots for one of my mods, and I still felt bad 😔

[wary plaza]

Yeah I totally did not take this playthrough seriously at all, lol

Just did for the achievement alone. Time to play for real this time 😄

[royal arrow]

that is an appropriate character and farm name though, definitely how Joja would see you, just another number

[dire fractal]

hi guys! how to create a manifest.json and config. json files? there’s a mod that I wanted to use called More Grass but it needs to let us create our content pack but with the files I mentioned above;;

[wary plaza]

lol it honestly felt like the npcs were reciting an ID number whenever mentioning my name in the chat window

“Welcome Subject #123456789012”

😆

So I found out how to change the options without having to create a character first!

[late nebula]

That's a thing?

[royal arrow]

I responded to your question in #making-mods-general

[proven thicket]

hey do diamond flowers sound a bit broken?

[wary plaza]

Not as broken as the mod that lets you grow Stardrops

[proven thicket]

[royal arrow]

They look beautiful and are clearly cheaty mods, use at your own unbalancing risk

[wary plaza]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4661

[muted pagoda]

they store some very bizzare things in startup_preferences, heh

[proven thicket]

anyways

but I think I justified that one

[royal arrow]

I am impressed with people who comfortably and easily unlock the greenhouse within year 1 o:
Me over here like "keep tweaking the requirements to make it possible! "

[proven thicket]

what about the prismatic shard crop I made?

[muted pagoda]

thats always a pipedream in how I setup bundles/profit margins for me

heh its always funny looking at reading people with like near max level farmhouse by year one when I'm usually lucky if I got second backpack by then :p

[restive zodiac]

Not to mention max modded houses where the starter farmhouse is a mansion and the maxed one is the size of the farm map :D

("why - how do you - well, okay")

[late nebula]

I've been moving away from those and anything that adds early access to hot springs.

Feels cheaty.

[royal arrow]

Ye I had to manually tweak one of the farmhouse mods I use because it is just too big and all I wanted was the starter house it had lol

[late nebula]

I wish there was a way to edit the house upgrades more but I've heard Robin is a pain.

[restive zodiac]

The renovations are actually very moddable

It's mainly adding brand new ones that are the trouble, though they are alllmmoooost there, and the usual walls and floor problem. (Sorry if that's not what you meant)

[royal arrow]

Mouse, to poke you, any ideas on what could be affecting the music playing on day start when I don't use Custom Music mods?

[late nebula]

Adding new upgrades is what I mean.

Like an attic or a bathroom and a bigger bathroom.

[restive zodiac]

I feel like people are used to the walls and floor problem at this point 😔 I played around with the renovations a little bit to experiment with changing the size and position of rooms, and hope to see new farmhouse maps come complete with matching renovations hehe

[late nebula]

Just more longevity to house upgrades. Getting it maxed out with the base game is kinda easy.

[restive zodiac]

I know there was a bug with TMXL at one point that was doing weird music stuff, but I'm not sure if that's relevant this time

Oh, this isn't #making-mods-general

🕳️

[royal arrow]

Oh no mouse is hiding

[wary plaza]

That emoji did not even remotely look like a hole because my laptop has Discord in dark mode, lol

All I saw at first glance was the white curve near the top xD

[restive zodiac]

(I am always in dark mode, but I can still see hole :P )

[royal arrow]

Yea I've had to squint to see it but I recognize it now lol

[late nebula]

Next time I play, I'd like to figure out if there's a way to give more purpose to the game after finishing CC bundles too instead of just making them hard to finish (which is also fun).

[wary plaza]

oh god I just broke my Notepad++

[late nebula]

I always get frustrated when I finish the CC and everyone is maxed out and I'm like.. I guess I could get that clock? But why?

[wind plover]

Speaking of longevity for the game, I’ve been looking at certain gigantic farm map mods to see how long it’ll take for me to pretty up the whole thing without the cheaty mods 🙃😂

[royal arrow]

Lemurkat released a mod called Community Center Reimagined, which tries to give it more use!

I believe the mod bblueberry is working on for cooking also makes use of the CC

[late nebula]

I'll definitely put that on the list.

[late nebula]

That too. I've always wanted more reasons for cooking.

[royal arrow]

Hehe have you seen Townies Need Food? shameless plug
I'd created it for the same reason, to give cooking a bit more use

[wind plover]

I feel like cooking is great for levelling up friendships though. ☺️

[late nebula]

adds more to list

[neon cargo]

hi! im looking to install mods to my stardew valley but i have no idea how to, can someone explain?

[royal arrow]

!gettingstarted

[native dragon]

If you would like a guide to setting up mods for Stardew Valley, check out the getting started guide! https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide

[neon cargo]

thank u <3

[wary plaza]

Is there a way to view the startup_preferences file so it's not just one single line of xml code? 🤔

[late nebula]

There was one that changed likes/dislikes too but I never looked to see if it would affect custom NPC mods.

[royal arrow]

Agreed! I think by the time I get to cooking though, I've already mostly had high friendships so in my experience, I don't get to use it for very long, for that purpose

[wary plaza]

Is that the mod that adds cooking as a skill you can level up?

[royal arrow]

There's something out there formatting it, but idr any details

[wary plaza]

Yeah Notepad++ just displays it as one line (or one ugly "chunk" with word wrap enabled).

[royal arrow]

Cooking Skill is a mod by spacechase0 and it's published. Bblueberry is working on a different mod that involves a cooking skill and a bunch of other fun stuff.
Ironically spacechase0 is also working on another cooking mod to revamp cooking lol

[wary plaza]

a cooking mod for the cooking skill mod? 😛

[wind plover]

Ooh it helped me for my second play through because before the kitchen upgrade I was just busy mining, chopping down trees and fishing for money hehehe

[royal arrow]

Ye it's called Gourmet Cooking! I guess it is like an expansion for the Cooking Skill mod

[restive zodiac]

Anyone around that's clinging to a broken farmhouse map with funky built in beds?

[royal arrow]

Hehe "clinging"

The bathroom after house upgrade mod was mentioned earlier

[restive zodiac]

:P I have mixed feelings about making a generic fix pack for assisting with issues caused by mods that should either be updated or allowed to peacefully sleep

[wind plover]

https://tenor.com/view/koala-clingy-scared-cute-gif-4823280

[wary plaza]

interesting...

[neon cargo]

do i have to use GOG galaxy?

[wary plaza]

I've actually been on the fence about that mod. Is it still work getting? Not sure how cheaty the mod itself makes the game... 🤔

[royal arrow]

There's so many different mods that add bathrooms, and like mouse hinted at, that one in particular hasn't been updated in ages

It works in 1.4.5 because of an unofficial update lol

[heavy sail]

idk if i should uninstall that bathroom mod, but the renovations make me want to delete it.

[royal arrow]

see mouse there are people clinging harhar I get your point though and respect it

[restive zodiac]

I like the renovations system too much to use static farmhouses, but it's a more work that way and still needs a tiny SMAPI component to add new ones right now

I was actually asking because I wanted them to test this pack for fixing the beds :P

"I do not approve of your life choices but see if this improves their quality " haha

[wary plaza]

What the heck are these entries? Never heard of this stuff at all in the game 🤔

[royal arrow]

I wonder if there's a wiki page on save files

[severe mortar]

Is there anywhere I can get help for the Automate mod not having cheese presses pull milk from chests?

[royal arrow]

Can you share your log?

!log

[native dragon]

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

[severe mortar]

Yeah alright

[royal arrow]

Also may need to connect you with @ HeartQuintessence, who seems to be having a similar issue

Also, sorry I missed the first part of your question: this is the place!

[severe mortar]

Uhhhmmmm !log gives me 'uknown command'

do I have to launch the save file first?

[royal arrow]

Nono, the governor message says what to do

[severe mortar]

Oh!

Thank

[royal arrow]

!log was for me to call up governor ☺️

But actually it would be helpful to load your save before pulling your log, just in case

There may be more info that's only visible after loading your save

[severe mortar]

https://smapi.io/log/4dd1154495e84b3fad7253e381a48e14

Hmm

3 out of date mods

[dire fractal]

Remind me to never click on nexus links my friend sends

[severe mortar]

.3.?

[restive zodiac]

Dropping it here for anyone using a pre 1.5 farmhouse replacer to test. Everything should be turned off by default, so to turn on bed removal you'll need to set "MapEdits-RemoveFarmhouseBeds": "true", as well as
"MapEdits-RemoveFarmhouseChildBeds": "true", if your farmhouse didn't remove the nursery. (There are enough child-optional houses that it seemed best to separate.)

(It will probably glitch out your wallpaper, but it should be fine after you re-apply it once.)

[neon cargo]

does anyone have an easy fishing mod for the latest update?

[late nebula]

If it's like adult stuff, you can toggle that off in your preferences so you won't see it @dire fractal

[dire fractal]

Thanks for telling me

[restive zodiac]

(it also restores items, craftables, furniture, special orders board, and door in Willy's shop in 3 levels of saturation, but you need to turn those on if you want them as well. Plus there was a report of confused Willy with everything on and I need to check that out still.)

[royal arrow]

Marshmallow, I'm not sure what's up

@livid magnet also had a similar issue with Automate, I've copied their log below.
https://smapi.io/log/8879fe6086474af6a098b48d161984b9

You both have a few mods in common but nothing is standing out to me as a likely culprit

[wary plaza]

Harvey’s eyes are normally green? And Maru always wears glasses, right?

[neon cargo]

my mods dont work for some reason

[wary plaza]

for context....

[restive zodiac]

!unpack You can look at all the vanilla stuff by unpacking it.

[native dragon]

See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Editing_XNB_files#Unpack_game_files for instructions on how to unpack XNB files in order to edit the assets inside!

[royal arrow]

Could not tell you
I too use SVO and have no idea what they looked like in vanilla 😂
I've had SVO for a long while

[neon cargo]

i followed the installation completely but my mods dont show up

[royal arrow]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[wary plaza]

Just now figured out where to view the previews for all of these GMCM choices for SVO

[neon cargo]

no error logs

[wary plaza]

https://github.com/paradigmnomad/SVO/wiki/List-of-Options

[neon cargo]

it just starts up normal stardew valley

[royal arrow]

Ah, if you're launching from Steam, did you set the Steam launch options?

[neon cargo]

i did yes

[royal arrow]

Can you copy-paste what you set your launch options to, here?

[livid magnet]

Yeah I am wondering if its Space Core Pytk thing?

[neon cargo]

D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe

[royal arrow]

@livid magnet Automate is its own thing so I wouldn't have thought those 2 mods would be interacting with Automate

[royal arrow]

You are missing quotes and %command%, like so:
"D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

[neon cargo]

ohh! thanks!!

[livid magnet]

Oh youtright.

[wary plaza]

Is there a way to convert a word into it's respective seed "number?" If such a thing even exists?

I can only input numbers for this field.

[pliant swallow]

The seed is just an integer. I have no idea how you would expect to convert a word

[wary plaza]

It's only 9 characters long. That means the the full range of numbers you can effective input is 000000000 to 999999999

[pliant swallow]

correct. The seed has always traditionally been the number of seconds since the game's release date.

[umbral frost]

I mean, you could take some sort of hash or something of the string? Prefix or suffix it to 9 characters...not sure what the point would be tho?

[wanton idol]

the mod chests anywhere says balance : cant access chests in dungeons

but I can acess it

[wary plaza]

So then we technically have a little over 31 years from SDV's release date before the game can't generate random seeds anymore?

[wanton idol]

is there any way to block acess?

[muted pagoda]

you need to use the config file replacing the one that comes with it

[wanton idol]

I feel like I will cheat

[wary plaza]

Did you actually download and install the balanced version of that mod? 🤔

[wanton idol]

not sure

but I can acess it so I guess I messed up

[wary plaza]

I thought there were two versions of that mod you could download in the files section. I could be mistaken, lol

[muted pagoda]

the second file is just a preconfigured config file

[royal arrow]

You could also tweak the config file yourself, but yes there's an optional download for a pre-configured file, correct

[pliant swallow]

It can still generate them beyond that but if you edit the seed values too high you get weird behavior. So sometime in the next 30 years they would probably have to patch it 😛

[wary plaza]

I’m getting Y2K flashbacks 😂

[royal arrow]

Ah, finally reached enough hearts with Sebastian to say hello in his room! Much better than trying to get ahold of the vampire for the tiny window of time in which he's not in his room >.>

[wet thunder]

3pm every day he hits the fridge or at least almost every day haha

[royal arrow]

Does he really? I only ever remember the vague "around 5-6pm he goes out for a smoke, and on Fridays you can find him at the saloon"

[wet thunder]

yeah the 3pm window is when I usually snag him anytime I need to give him something or say hi

[royal arrow]

Good to know 📝

Oh mah word I am witnessing the 3pm fridge rummage as we speak

[fresh inlet]

Heya! I haven't spoken here in a while aha 😅
I've recently gotten back into things since the update, updated all my mods and removed like 120. I'm pretty sure my game was fine the other day, but loaded in last night and some of my map tiles are messed up. I originally thought that it was due to some recolour mod, so I halved all my mods onto my desktop and ran again, still like it. So I moved them all to my desktop, still like it. I'm not exactly sure what else to try, as most the usual things I've done. Was just wondering if there's any known things I'm not thinking of? I assume it's still a mod issue even though I tested with none in my game. Thanks for any help!

There are lots of new assets added in 1.5 that need to be matched for recolors.

[royal arrow]

it's silly little things like this that bring me joy. Here you see a tiny Shane with Jas hair, because they are both at Marnie's 😄

[restive zodiac]

I assume it's still a mod issue even though I tested with none in my game. Thanks for any help!
There are definitely recolors still active in that screenshot, so if you've overwritten any content files you'll need to reset to get rid of them.

[fresh inlet]

I'll restore any content files from a backup and see if that fixes things, though I'm very annoyed at myself if I did mess with them in the past.

[naive drum]

use the validate files button!

!reset

[native dragon]

See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files for instructions on resetting your game files! (This doesn't affect your save 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 :)

[naive drum]

a backup might be pre-1.5 (and so make things worse) or also modded

[lyric gale]

Using Ridgeside village and SDE is this the correct map?

[royal arrow]

In questions people might have already known the answer to: you can summon the Tractor from the mines.
The power

[naive drum]

yesssss its so good

[royal arrow]

It does seem to make you invincible though lol

I'm swarmed by monsters and taking no damage

[wind plover]

I usually wait by Robin's counter around 5pm like

(also is it working with 1.5? )

!compat

[native dragon]

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

[naive drum]

the log will still exist and still contain information

[neon cargo]

yes it should

it says it works with 1.5

[royal arrow]

gotcha, works doesn't mean bug free though. So if you share your log that will give people more info to help troubleshoot

[neon cargo]

i uploaded the log to the website what do i do with it now?

[royal arrow]

share the link here :)

[neon cargo]

https://smapi.io/log/7ed6a10695ef4686b14464371dce3b50

[restive zodiac]

(The mod has config options too, so it would be good to see that as well)

[neon cargo]

this?

[royal arrow]

and as mouse noted, if you could upload your config.json for Crops Anytime Anywhere to the json validator site https://smapi.io/json and share the link here, that'd also help (you can leave format as none)

nevermind XD

i literally forgot to hoe the ground

sorry guys

i have done that

[royal arrow]

don't worry, it happens to the best of us lol

[neon cargo]

[restive zodiac]

When did Crops Anywhere get per location settings?

[royal arrow]

mouse approves

[restive zodiac]

Yesss. I like being able to plant anywhere, but I didn't like all seasons being bundled with that.

I just like being able to make little garden patches outside the farm, hehe.

[dire fractal]

Heyyyy, so idk what mod it is but I went to robins to buy a silo, but it just says the door is locked

[royal arrow]

was it a festival day? doors are locked on festival days o.o

[dire fractal]

The day before

[royal arrow]

now I want to do this to add flowers, as if I didn't already have enough flower mods

[dire fractal]

Nope nevermind I'm stupid it is festival day XD

[wind plover]

I love flowery stardew

[sterile prairie]

Does anyone have any idea why my SDV folder keeps turning into "read-only" and causing issues? I fix it, then it happens again the next time I relog which causes mod issues. 😐

[wind plover]

Trying to hold myself back from getting Flower Valley and Farmer to Florist

[royal arrow]

JammyJam, do not hold back, go for it! And while you're at it, get yourself Not a Farmer - Job Title Replacer so everyone acknowledges you're a florist now

I have Flower Valley, Farmer to Florist, Mizu's Flowers, and More Grass with essentially a "flowery grass" pack lol (and also Not a Farmer - Job Title Replacer)

might still not be enough flowers

(also Overgrown Flowery Cursors and Flower Decorative UI...)

[wind plover]

Omg hahahahahahah do you have Garden Village too??

[royal arrow]

I do not, only because I'm being picky about how to warp there but also walk there lol

I think...my next mod idea (once I publish the 2 that are currently in progress ) might be to go all-in on this flower thing and create a CC bundle mod that just replaces every single item that's required with flowers there are enough flower mods out there, it could be done

then we can finally say "Farmer to Florist transition complete"

[wind plover]

OOOOOH

I should have a save file just for flowers

[royal arrow]

do ittt, embrace it 💮

[wary plaza]

So I'm reading about the "Stardew Foliage Redone - A Nature Toned Map Recolor" and I saw this part here:

I tried the "Natural Color - Reshade" mod but I'm not a big fan of the blurry effects it adds. What is everyone's thoughts and/or opinions on what other recolor mods to combine with the "Stardew Foliage Redone - A Nature Toned Map Recolor" mod, if any?

[royal arrow]

I personally use the Foliage Only version of Foliage Redone with A Less Yellow Stardew.
Keeping in mind my mod recs are 1.4.5, the Foliage Only version could pair well with all kinds of different recolors, depending on what you're looking for (Eemie's Just Another Map Recolor is another popular one)

[wary plaza]

Do you have a screenshot of your recolor stuff I can check out real quick?

[royal arrow]

like, the way it looks now? sure

Note this also includes some Flower Valley trees and bushes because I was determined to force Flower Valley and Foliage Only to work together 😂

so top right you're seeing the Foliage Only trees and bushes

bottom left you're seeing Flower Valley bushes, and the trees towards the middle are also Flower Valley

the beautiful cherry blossom stuff is from Foliage Only

For the grass, it's More Grass with the Flowergrass and Snowfields pack

[wind plover]

Ooooooohh adds Foliage Only to my list

[wary plaza]

My only gripe is how the green of the grass seems to clash with the darker green everywhere else, lol 😅

[royal arrow]

ah, well ALYS has multiple options for grass color and dirt color

there are lighter options

[wind plover]

I need to be a lot better at organising and sorting mods

[royal arrow]

I'm using the darkest grass option for ALYS and the medium dirt

[naive drum]

@tired brook Update on the void chest, it is gone

[wind plover]

I’ve mostly been using gameplay and mechanics mods. The only CP stuff I have are for teeny tiny things like lamp posts and pot O flowers

[naive drum]

Wait no it isn't never mind

i somehow didn't notice I still had the Void??? group heh

[tired brook]

I started a bug thread to keep track on the Chests Anywhere page (though it's probably not due to Chests Anywhere itself). Can you post your details + log there, to help find the common mod(s)?

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/518/?tab=bugs&issue_id=462071 ("Mystery chest on the farm")

[wind plover]

What’s ALYS? 👀

[royal arrow]

A Less Yellow Stardew

It's my favorite map recolor, but it wasn't updated for 1.4 let alone 1.5 lol

[tired brook]

releases A Lovely Yellow Stardew just to make the acronym more confusing

[royal arrow]

I hackily tweaked the tilesheets needed for 1.4 and they don't look great but I love ALYS too much to let it go

[wary plaza]

Hmm....wait a second.... 🤔

Since I'm starting to heavily use More Grass and content packs for it, I should probably delete the [CP] Seasonal Wildflowers mod, huh?

[royal arrow]

Is that for grass as well? if so, yes

[wary plaza]

I think it is?
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5422

oh wait...maybe it isn't?

[royal arrow]

no that adds craftable flowers

so you don't have to remove it o:

[fast river]

@tired brook I think there's a mod that tracks data with a void chest there

[wary plaza]

nice! 😄

[fast river]

Can't remember what though

[wind plover]

Lenneeeee~~ could you give me the link to separating / categorising mods in different folders?

[royal arrow]

!modgroups

[native dragon]

See this link for how to load different mod groups: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Can_I_have_different_mod_groups.3F.

[wind plover]

Yaaaas

[royal arrow]

Mod groups are my favorite thing to share

[tired brook]

@fast river I've been trying to find it, but a search through open-source mods didn't find anything with a hardcoded -50 Y position at least.

[wind plover]

Might use that for my florist save file HEHE

[wary plaza]

holy wow...that's actually pretty straightforward for me to follow 🙂

[royal arrow]

and it's the best!

[wary plaza]

I don't even need to add the smapi command line argument to that new shortcut I would be placing on the desktop

[royal arrow]

I have one for SVE even though I haven't started it 😂 but I also have 1 for testing and 1 for my "main" mods and 1 for my "alternate" mods and 1 for multiplayer

[naive drum]

Yeah, and whatever mod it is, it doesn't seem to care if you put stuff in there or rename the chest or put it in a chest group

[royal arrow]

so many chickens

[naive drum]

i put it in a chest group named Void???, named it Mystery Chest, and i'm using it to store sap and trash

[stable anchor]

waw

[naive drum]

a nice little flock!

[wary plaza]

Not gonna lie...that's really neat how you can do that with SDV. I ended up having to resort to MultiMC (for Minecraft) and MultiBound (for Starbound) to create different "instances" that use different modlists

[royal arrow]

I've seriously contemplated making icons of the blue, brown, and void chickens for variety

[tired brook]

I like how this one has a halo.

[late nebula]

Sims 2...

Best Sims

[wind plover]

4 is pretty good!!

[wary plaza]

I miss that feeling I got when I played the very first Sims

:3

[naive drum]

i have sims 2

[wind plover]

Also I’m planning to use the grouping to have different visuals. Because it’s hell trying to decide between Flower Valley and Japanese Buildings. 🥺

[naive drum]

oh PJR did you know you can still legally get sims 1?

[wary plaza]

what?! no way 👀

[late nebula]

I should set up some mod groups and actually start playing again. At least 1 in-game day a week.

[royal arrow]

I was about to introduce you to the magic that is Customize Exterior but it's not updated for 1.5

[fast river]

coughs

Need to make it use mod data

[naive drum]

it's abandonware so due to the fragility of digital media that is not being distributed, the internet archive has it and you can get it there (on their oldgamesdownload uh....side site??)

[wary plaza]

Is this like the More Grass version but for buildings?

[royal arrow]

no it's like Adopt n Skin but for buildings

you can select the farm building look individually

[wary plaza]

oooo that's another mod I need to redownload :3

[wind plover]

I’ll track it anyway HEHEHEHE

Japanese Buildings is so frickfrackflanging beautiful

[wary plaza]

My daughter's gonna bug me asking me why all of those Elle animal skins disappeared

I need to make sure I reinstall those mods, lol!

[royal arrow]

and it's BOMB because you change the buildings in-game by just right clicking and selecting the one you want so it's a nice UI instead of a command

(space I'm accidentally hyping people up lol sorry)

[fast river]

works on contest mod

[wind plover]

The mod author said that they’re going to be doing a valley one as well. But that was a year ago. I’m still holding out hope

[wary plaza]

So how much of my stimulus check should I donate to you to update Customize Exterior? 😛

[fast river]

None 😛

[heavy sail]

I have time on my hands so I’m just gonna go ahead and update Seasonal Japanese Buildings for 1.5 🏃

[naive drum]

it was double click and back in 1.4 it had this utterly bizarre and funny conflict with spritemaster where changing the house skin turned the house and only the house blurry

[fast river]

It'll happen, just need to get around it between work and other things

hehe no worries 😄

[fast river]

And making mods is funner so contest mod has been taking my attention

[wind plover]

We don’t get stimulus checks here but I will love you very much? 😅😂

[wary plaza]

I actually thought you were first talking about a mod that adds/modifies some kind of contest within SDV

[hollow cave]

Sorry to interrupt but I am having troubles with immersive farm 2 remastered version 1.12.2. It keeps saying I dont have the required mods to run it. However, I have content patcher, custom npc exclusions, expanded preconditions & utility, farm type manager, immersive farm 2 remastered, jsons assets, pytk, space core, stardew valley expanded, tmxl map toolkit and winter grass. It’s all up to date so I don’t know what the problem is, can anyone assist me with this.

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

[naive drum]

oh do you have sve

[fast river]

Paradigm and I added the surfing race with Surfing Festival, if that counts

[wary plaza]

Are you launching the game with the new SMAPI command line argument?

[hollow cave]

Yes

[wary plaza]

I initially had a surfing calendar event downloaded before I wiped my mods folder. Was that you guys?

[fast river]

Yep

[wary plaza]

We did it for the summer contest

[spring ivy]

my game now suddenly crashes when I try to get close to the greenhouse, it worked fine the day before, any ideas what might cause it or what to try?

This is my smapi log @naive drum

[naive drum]

looks like your Stardew Valley Expanded installation is messed up

also, i think you have to pick one of Grandpa's Farm and IF2R

uhhh what else you don't seem to actually have JsonAssets installed

so yeah, install Json Assets, then uninstall and reinstall SVE, and while you're at it don't reinstall Grandpa's Farm

[restive zodiac]

@spring ivy did you build any buildables on the farm?

[spring ivy]

no, robin is upgrading my barn, but only the barn and coop from base game

[wary plaza]

gah...why is Sophia so damn cute

[royal arrow]

It's great to hear folks enjoy the mod contest I've been stuck trying to come up with ideas that are within my skillset lol

[hollow cave]

Okay so I did what you said but the same errors still pop up

[naive drum]

uhhh that's really weird

did you redownload SVE and JA? how are you installing them?

it looks like a lot of your mod files are just plain missing

[dire fractal]

And when I thought Emily couldn't get weirder

Seasonal outfits prove me wrong

[shell hamlet]

I downloaded them directly from moddrop, then I tried manually downloading it and the same thing keeps popping up

[inner scaffold]

rawr

[hollow cave]

Sorry this^ is the same account as this one

[naive drum]

how are you installing them?

you need to unzip them, then place them into your Mods folder

[hollow cave]

That’s what I’ve done

[naive drum]

(for manual install)

[hollow cave]

Right

[naive drum]

can you show a screenshot of your mods folder, and the inside of your Stardew Valley Expanded folder?

[restive zodiac]

I can't load trace on my phone, but you could turn on that and look for anything edited Maps\Farm. Farm map is most likely, but if it worked before maybe there is something messed up with last update or one of the needed. (You could try rolling back if you're on yesterday's version)

[royal terrace]

Is there a mod similar to prestige that makes it so you don't lose recipe knowledge when you reset your skill?

[chilly swallow]

hi, sorry to bother everyone but.. no matter what resolution I have the game playing in, if I go to another screen in any way, stardew freezes. I've never had this issue before so I thought I'd ask here

[naive drum]

is this in fullscreen or windowed?

[chilly swallow]

I've tried both... sometimes it runs fine in either, the rest of the time it doesn't

oh and it absolutely hates windowed unless it's borderless

[naive drum]

is that a log from a game session that crashed?

[chilly swallow]

it's the last one, yeah.. although it didn't shut itself down, it just froze solid till I force closed it

[spring ivy]

@restive zodiac I got it working after disabling custom spouse patio which I updated just before the crashes began

[naive drum]

all i see is that you updated PFMAutomate but forgot to update PFM

brb bird

[lapis void]

aha, custom spouse patio is another one to add to the greenhouse crash list i guess

[restive zodiac]

I am relieved it was not me haha
