[tight halo]

it seems to break out the map on its own.

[gaunt portal]

@deep totem no, not to my knowledge. Would anyone be able to hop on a screen share and possibly help me out

[tight halo]

or isn't compatible anymore with stardew valley expanded.

[gaunt portal]

I've been playing on switch and hate it. Lol

[tight halo]

I should try removing stardew valley expanded maybe it will work.

[deep totem]

it's a known issue with tmxl. scrambling tilesheet when mods require to load map patches conditionally

[tight halo]

Yes I hate it. and I know it

[deep totem]

at very least, khadija recipe shop, sve, and rsv all use tmxl conditional map patch. Meaning for the time being the scrambled map will be there

[tight halo]

I had hoped someone had some kind of unofficial fix

[gaunt portal]

This is what I get after uninstalling and reinstalling

[native grail]

Not yet, unfortunately. The modder is MIA

[tight halo]

I don't think this should be in mod talks

[gaunt portal]

The game worked perfectly done before using mods

Fine*

[tight halo]

You said it didn't work without the mods.

[gaunt portal]

I said

[tight halo]

That sounds like bait.

[unreal stratus]

Can you screenshot your stardew folder?

[gaunt portal]

I played the game a year ago. Worked fine. Then I downloaded smapi and played as well. Now came to play v 1.5 and it doesn't work. Removed smapi and mods in attempt to get the game to launch.

@unreal stratus sure thing

[native grail]

I personally would try removing the folder Stardew Valley from steamapps\common (if it exists) and clean reinstall but this doesn't look like mods issue.

[tight halo]

Yes it shouldn't be in mod talks

go to #vanilla-tech-support

[gaunt portal]

How can I check if I removed smapi and all mods correctly?

[tight halo]

go to #vanilla-tech-support

[deep totem]

if u don't launch the game through StardewModdingAPI.exe and instead use Stardew Valley.exe , then smapi has no impact on the game

[tight halo]

This is not a mod problem.

[deep totem]

all the mods r in mods folder, if delete them they're gone

[pine inlet]

okayyy umm

[gaunt portal]

@deep totem

[pine inlet]

like alot of my mods just disappeared ??

[deep totem]

Then that's a clean install w/o smapi

[gaunt portal]

and when i hover over stardew valley app it says v 1.3.7....

[deep totem]

can you launch directly through Stardew Valley.exe??

[pine inlet]

i was around 184 and i just restarted my game after installing abunch of mods and like those ones didnt show up aswell as a chunk of them disappearing

[gaunt portal]

@deep totem nope.. it does nothing

[tight halo]

Just delete the whole stardew valley folder

reinstall it

for god sake it isn't that hard

[gaunt portal]

@tight halo i've done this literally 20 times

Why are you so bent out of shape? I'm simply asking for help on the situation

[deep totem]

As u don't have SMAPI and mods, and the issue still persist. I believe this should be discussed in #vanilla-tech-support

[pine inlet]

ok so what does this mean-- it was fine before i installed the new mods-

[tight halo]

No you obviously haven't because your folder is missing the save folder which was set up uppon reinstallation

[gaunt portal]

@tight halo if you notice its setup in steam 2.0 not steam. i attempted to change a whole new save folder for steam since the original wasnt working

[tight halo]

There's missing items there in his game, he didn't delete the whole game and reinstall it

[gaunt portal]

you need to play the game to have a save folder

[deep totem]

Do u use vortex?

[restive grove]

@pine inlet it means you have a folder in mods that doesn't contain manifest.json which is a required file for a mod to be loaded

[pine inlet]

nope

[pine inlet]

how would i find whats missing that??

[restive grove]

a folder called (single player)

[gaunt portal]

I dont have any other stardew valley folder

[tight halo]

Right I fixed my mod problem here, going to general , this guy ain't going to fix his problem anyway.

[pine inlet]

lol i know that but- i have abunch of mods in there that i added for my single player farm

[deep totem]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[pine inlet]

im searching through all my recently added mods to see which ones missing manifest, is there a way to fix that if it doesnt have one?

[restive grove]

you can technically make your own but check you extracted the mod correctly

[pine inlet]

yeah im checkin rn

feeling like its this and i know what mod it goes to, but i dont know what do with it, should i put it in the mods folder even tho it was out when i extracted?

[wheat pine]

That's from the more/less pearls isn't it.

[pine inlet]

yes

[wheat pine]

The mod files page says what you should have done with it.

Its supposed to overwrite something else.

[deep totem]

does it say in the mod description where you should place the folder?

[pine inlet]

let me look

ok ok i see what im supposed to do

[small whale]

hiya, can someone help? is this usable for 1.5? i cant find it on the mod compatibility page https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3073 (tag me if u reply please)

[royal arrow]

The compatibility page is only for C# SMAPI mods and that is a Content Patcher (CP) content pack.

It does work with 1.5

[small whale]

ohhhh right

oh yay! thanks

[wheat pine]

Plus the mod page shows its most recent update.

[pine inlet]

the sprite and portrait is the only thing that works for me with that mod

[small whale]

??

[royal arrow]

Ye if it's been updated on or after Dec 21 2020, it's been updated for 1.5

[small whale]

where was that?

[royal arrow]

On the link you shared, I see it too o:

[pine inlet]

same ^^

[wheat pine]

The link you provided and the image that you provided are not from the same page.

[charred dagger]

who uses CCCB here?

[small whale]

wait

i meant this link https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3226?tab=description sorry

[pine inlet]

oh yeah that mod works :> even if you dont have romanceable wizard

[small whale]

alright thanks!

[still fable]

I have POTC installed among other mods, it's now day 7. Talking to people every day (Not everyone) and even gifted joja owner on day 2 (His birthday). Shouldn't I see at least SOME hearts or partially? No one has any. Or don't they appear until a full heart? Been a while.

[royal arrow]

Hmmm do you have that one feature on in UI Info Suite? That shows more detailed heart levels?

[still fable]

I don't have it on, I think.

UI Info Mod Options does not respond when clicking on it.

[pine inlet]

yeahh my mods are showing again!!

[wheat pine]

Sounds like you might have some issues.

[still fable]

Ok when scaling UI and Zoom back to 100%, UI Info Mod Options responds. All options are checked.

Show Heart Fills is enabled. So then something is wrong, I suppose. Would there be an easy way to know for sure? A dandelion that instantly brings someone to 1 heart or something.

[royal arrow]

Hmm, well I guess it also depends on your settings for POTC

[still fable]

I halved most values, some more.

[royal arrow]

This is an obvious question but are you talking to people in front of other people?

[wheat pine]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[wheat pine]

POTC has a very verboise log output.

[still fable]

Yes, not always ofc.

[wheat pine]

Very, very.

[royal arrow]

And see the little messages in your SMAPI console, "X saw you talking to Y"?

But ye share your log like Xinith suggested

[small whale]

whats the page to put in errors?

wait its right there

[still fable]

https://smapi.io/log/8ea33c10773c41d888f07986a8ee58d1

[wheat pine]

According to your log, POTC is there and working. Hasn't generated much yet though

[still fable]

The SMAPI errors are harmless also

[pine inlet]

almost 230 mods now

[small whale]

how do u get the log file? i just have console text

im really confused

[wheat pine]

Out of memory error, here we come?!

[wheat pine]

There's detailed instructions on the log parser page as to where your log should be.

[pine inlet]

here we come

[small whale]

https://smapi.io/log/37e06f6136424c9280368cec73a5c69e can someone tell me what this means please?

[exotic plover]

any idea what causes that

i just transfered my android save to pc

along with mods

[restive grove]

@small whale how did you install smapi?

[small whale]

Moddrop

not sure if i did it right

[restive grove]

I'd remove it and install SMAPI manually

[small whale]

how do i remove it?

[royal arrow]

I mean, if you're just looking for instructions on how to get ModDrop working, it's better than using Vortex as a mod manager

[dire fractal]

hey guys, random question

i remember there was a mod where the stall near the museum was occupied by two traders, weekend was a female who would trade meat IIRC, weekdays was a male who would trade other things. forgot the name and need help trying to find it.

[royal arrow]

[dire fractal]

thanks!

[iron tiger]

Here's a real deep dive request. DOes anyone have or know where I could find the deleted NPC mod Amelia?

[pine inlet]

left click isnt picking up the chest with the expanded storage mod, did the pickup hotkey change?

nvm! i see why

[royal arrow]

ooof, it's not on nexus, you may be able to find old versions on the Chucklefish forums, assuming the NPC was posted there?

[still fable]

Seems it's all fine. Got a quarter heart with Abigail.

[autumn pagoda]

Is there a PyTK version that's compatible with the latest smapi for android? I need help 😭😭😭

[iron tiger]

ahhh I knew I'd find a place I hadn't looked by asking.

[royal arrow]

you'd have to figure out when it was uploaded and make sure it's old enough to have theoretically worked on that version of the game / SMAPI. I believe the Android SMAPI was updated for SMAPI 3.7.6, so you'd have to do some detective work to find what date SMAPI 3.7.6 was posted on nexus, then go to the PyTK page and find a version of PyTK that was posted around that time

[autumn pagoda]

Okay, thanks for the info. I guess I need to check one by one then. Thanks!

[iron tiger]

ooof it's search feature is turning up noothing. and I'm not in the mood to manually ctrl f amelia on 250 pages

[royal arrow]

you can sort old versions of mod files on nexus by upload date, if that helps! so like, on the PyTK / SMAPI page, the old files section can be sorted by date

[wheat pine]

Its totally hidden/deleted on Nexus

[pine inlet]

me having fun with my net

[royal arrow]

what do you do with the buggies after you catch them? o:

[pine inlet]

i kinda just keep them in a chest, for some reason they disappear when i try to put them on a table :(

[royal arrow]

also you are motivating me to play! lol

which kitty mod are you using o: ?

[pine inlet]

oh im using elle's cat replacements :3

thats why i wish adopt n skin worked so i could just have abunch of kitty's

[royal arrow]

hehe I'm using Adopt n Skin and so far so good

[pine inlet]

it works?

[royal arrow]

I will add Elle's cats to my collection

ye I'm in single player and it seems to be working fine o:

although I think I need to get the additional kitties

right now I have 1 dog and 1 cat

[pine inlet]

it wasnt working for me the first time i got it, and i dont really know how to use it-

[royal arrow]

lol ye I had to take a really long time to read through the mod description, it is thorough

but I just set and forget it, I'm not frequently changing skins

[pine inlet]

i dont really care for the reskinning i kinda just want more cats walkin around

ohh marnie has the strays LOL- i guess i kinda skimmed through it the first time and went "yeah sounds pretty cool"

[signal cypress]

Oh hey, we have another modpack

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7883

[tired brook]

(Woo, 177 mods in that pack.)

[deep totem]

how do we report again?

[royal arrow]

there should be a report abuse button somewhere on there

[tired brook]

Yep, over the mod description.

It's pretty messy to do, since it's not available directly in .NET. I'll have to look into it more.

Hi! Can you try this version of SMAPI, see if it makes any difference, and post a new log if you get errors?

When I start day 4 upon a new game, when I get out the house it gets stuck on a black screen
I have a ton of mods, and probably one of them is to blame, but I don't know which one

[pine inlet]

ok one thing i know is that you have duplicate JA item which isnt good- i learned the hard way

sorry 2 duplicate JA items

[rugged umbra]

Okay, waht do I do about it? D:

[royal arrow]

the message should say which 2 mods are adding the same JA item, so you need to remove 1

[pine inlet]

you can go and delete one of the duplicates, just delete which one you like less :3

[timber sierra]

does someone have a link for the cheats and item spawner?

[royal arrow]

no but you can search on nexus for CJB Cheats Menu and CJB Item Spawner o:

[ashen copper]

anyone using Custom Furniture with 1.5 version SV?

[royal arrow]

hehe it's ok, this is an advanced step so I'm personally hesitant to recommend it o.o

but yes it's technically doable

[rugged umbra]

This?

[timber sierra]

um it says no result

[timber sierra]

this is the result

[royal arrow]

it seems you're searching all of nexus, you can search in SDV specifically, but also check your filters

[timber sierra]

k

[royal arrow]

and no need to ping me specifically, I'm in and out of the chat and other folks could potentially help

[signal cypress]

It does usually help if you just add keywords

[pine inlet]

yes :3 and then you have 2 other errors someone else is gonna have to help you with because i just knew about the duplicate one! just go in your mod files and delete the one you like less, both for the blue egg and blue mayonnaise

[rugged umbra]

Deleted!

And guess I'll wait for someone to help with the other thing

[timber sierra]

found it (: tysm

[rugged umbra]

Cuz still getting a black screen

[pine inlet]

yeah im assuming thats from something else, but i just saved you from having a worse time with the ja duplicate thing-

[timber sierra]

[junior shore]

Howdy friends, It seems that I am unable to give Gus his trade quest item, are my mods interfering with the quest?

I was able to give Kent his just fine.

Is it supposed to work even when Gus is at his counter?

Go behind the counter

[timber sierra]

plz halp

idk wat to do now

[ashen copper]

Is there currently a mod that would let you enter houses at any hour and/or shop anytime?

swagster2000, if you're not getting a response, it likely means those who are currently on don't know how to help. You could try asking at a different time later in the day when different people are on

[rugged umbra]

Okay sorry

[pine inlet]

thats the thing i do have the latest version nexus offered but adoptnskin is saying theres an update, but doesnt show in the update screen

[royal arrow]

no worries! I just wanted to clarify that we all have different knowledge

[royal arrow]

did you check the compatibility list?

[rugged umbra]

Yeah sorry for being pushy tho

[pine inlet]

i will

what about the other 2 saying the .dll for them doesnt exist?

[royal arrow]

also check the compatibility list for those

[pine inlet]

im using the most recent one for those, the unofficial updates recent

[rugged umbra]

OH I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT IT'S RAINING
Maybe I get a blackscreen when I leave the house is because of some bug involving the rain?

[pine inlet]

did it not rain for you on the 3rd or did you not leave the house on the third

[rugged umbra]

Didn't rain

[pine inlet]

on year 1-?

[rugged umbra]

Yes

[pine inlet]

👁️👄👁️

[royal arrow]

ok, can you check those 2 mods and see if in fact there is a file in those folders called RentedTools.dll and SelfService.dll, respectively?

[pine inlet]

impossible-

[rugged umbra]

Well it didn't..?

[pine inlet]

sure

[pine inlet]

im saying impossible because it always rains on year 1 spring day 3-

[rugged umbra]

Well it didn't for me!

[pine inlet]

magician

this is for rented tools-

[timber sierra]

whyyyyyyyyyyy

mods forever hate me

[rugged umbra]

Wait I'm dumb

[royal arrow]

welp, you are in fact missing the RentedTools.dll file

[rugged umbra]

I'm ON day 3

[royal arrow]

so I'd reinstall that

[rugged umbra]

So yeah it's raining on day 3

So again I suspect my blackscreen has something to do with the rain

[timber sierra]

it rains on day 3 or 4

[rugged umbra]

Well I'm on 3 :(

[pine inlet]

weird- why didnt the dll come out with it when i extracted?

can someone halp me? i do not understand the guide, i am small brain

[royal arrow]

Can you clarify what specific step you're stuck on? That will help people help you

[dire fractal]

disable Norton or add the dll to exception

[timber sierra]

I am on a macbook pro, and when i download the mod, a folder pops up in my finder, and a bunch of files are in the thing, heres a pic:

[royal arrow]

Can you elaborate on your question? This is the mod folder

[timber sierra]

I don't know which one to click on

its a bunch of gibberish in the dll and pdb

[royal arrow]

You don't need to click on anything. You install SMAPI, then your mods, then you run the game through SMAPI

[timber sierra]

yes but when i click "p", nothing happens

[royal arrow]

Ah, now we're understanding better.

ummmmmmmm

[dire fractal]

you should just run stardew through steam, anikay

Did you try that?

[pine inlet]

dang i- i got it to exclude and give me back the dll for rented services but it wont exclude self services dll when i try to reextract it after telling norton to ignore it

[timber sierra]

yes i use steam

[dire fractal]

did you run stardew valley?

[dire fractal]

You can add the entire mods folder to 'exclude'

[timber sierra]

im having trouble on num2, im not sure if "go" means "search"

because if i search the ~/.config/StardewValley/ErrorLogs. nothing pops up

[pine inlet]

its immediately scanning that file when i extract it tho :((

[waxen pawn]

Hey, what are the best mods for harder community center bundles?
I have found a couple, which one would you recommend?

[dire fractal]

Finder is basically the File Explorer

@royal arrow

[timber sierra]

this is wat it looks like, but its still not working

[neat plaza]

in 1.5 ||you can enable remixed bundles||

[lapis void]

i think challenging community center bundles is the only one that's working atm?

[royal arrow]

AH ok. So then within Finder are actual folders, gotcha

[dire fractal]

where did you even get that screenshot from

[lapis void]

that's in your downloads though? it needs to be in your mods folder

[waxen pawn]

@neat plaza not looking for different ones, but harder ones
remixed unfortunately only makes them different, not necessairly harder

[neat plaza]

alr

[waxen pawn]

@lapis void thank you, i'll look into it.
was torn between that one and minerva

I'd recommend taking a look at Lemurkat's mods on nexus. All her mods are excellent. For NPCs she has Mr. Ginger, Juliet and Jessie, Professor Jasper Thomas, and within East Scarpe there's Jacob and Eloise

[errant estuary]

BLJs is broken

[native grail]

@tired brook This is my system when OOM is closing in. I usually (not always) get it after 3-4 game days. I'll try the new alpha SMAPI version and report back. If there is something else I can do to help, just say the word!

[pine inlet]

is there like a mod or something that lets you put the critter cages on tables without it evaporating, never to be seen again

[neat plaza]

there don't seem to be any :/

[errant estuary]

rip

[junior shore]

I did see those and I was interested, but East Scarpe looked like a lot of empty houses? Do her other NPCs live there?

[royal arrow]

Jacob and Eloise live there by default. The East Scarpe mod description mentions the other custom NPCs that live there

[neat plaza]

they're for modders if they want to make npcs live there

oh really? didnt know that

[junior shore]

Ah, ok. Thank you! I'll check them out.

One more question while i'm at it. Haven't found anything on my online searches.

I see that you have been adressing this in the past on discord, do you know anything?

Thanks for the help 🙂

[dire fractal]

I think they've been tweaked over version to be as balanced as possible

[royal arrow]

you can check the mouseypounds database for more details too

[dire fractal]

I mean that's the aim for the author anyway

[royal arrow]

!ppja

[native dragon]

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

[waxen pawn]

that's fair enough for me. Vanilla probably still has some far less balanced items

so that's okay

[dire fractal]

youc can see the prices in the links above

[waxen pawn]

thank you, i'll take a look

[junior shore]

So many mods with dependencies! I don't mind tho, it's awesome how much the modding community for this game works together.

[royal arrow]

ye the good news is, it opens a w h o l e new world once you start getting the dependencies going lol

because you can look at a shiny new mod and see the list and be like "I already have all that "

[junior shore]

I just wonder how you guys learn to use of these frameworks, like do you guys have a separate discord or something where you learn what you can do with each different one?

[royal arrow]

nah we hang in #making-mods-general

plus the documentation helps

and looking at existing mods that already use it and learning from them (this is how I did most of my learnings)

[iron plank]

Can anyone tell me what mod I’m missing if I get a “no idea what ‘batter’ is!” ? I thought I had all the correct dependencies

[junior shore]

Interesting. I'm just waiting for a framework that adds spouse schedule keys :p

[royal arrow]

I think it's an optional one rather than a hard dependency. Technically the warning is harmless, unless you wanted to make recipes that require batter. Idr which mod provides it but you could check the mouseypounds database here https://mouseypounds.github.io/ppja-ref/

[fading shell]

you can ignore that harmless message, however if you'd like one more mod of recipes, batter is found in "zosa and bonster's recipes"

[iron plank]

Yeah it’ll still launch and run I just didn’t know where to find batter. Thank you!

[junior shore]

Pft, I have 68 mods now lol. Almost as much as Skyrim :p

[royal arrow]

aww, baby log! I remember those days... at 430+ mods, it's been a long time since those days 😌

[junior shore]

Wow, I didn't even know there were 430 mods to use

[royal arrow]

then you'll be extra impressed Jani the was at 1,097 mods before 1.5 dropped lol

I could send you my mod list if you want to browse lol it's obviously lengthy but I added a table of contents to make it easier to navigate

[iron plank]

I have 188 mods and I just started using mods like two weeks ago... I can stop whenever I want though

[junior shore]

Do it lol.

[iron plank]

Me too?

[junior shore]

I probably would have more mods, but I'm a very, um, shrewd? modder lol.

[iron plank]

Though I put a bunch of mods on at the same time yesterday and my game isn’t running as smoothly as it could be atm

I spent all day yesterday going through mods and setting up Stardew on my second computer, bc I don’t want to play SVE expanded right now but when I uninstalled it I just had the boring standard farm and some other issues. So I put SVE back in and am playing a new file on my other pc lol

Yet another modpack :c https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7888

[tired brook]

Does anyone here use Diverse Stardew Valley (or similar large content packs), and experience a lag skip every time the in-game clock changes? I have an optimization in the next Content Patcher update that should fix that.

[royal arrow]

I use DSV and have some lag skips but I haven't noticed if it's specific to clock changes o:

[fading shell]

yes and yes. looking forward to a potential fix

[dire fractal]

What the fuck, they just posted another mod pack?

[fading shell]

(i also had a skip with the in-game clock changing before i started using diverse stardew, but i was using seasonal villagers then)

[royal arrow]

ye I had some amount of lags and skips before installing DSV, but they definitely became more pronounced after installing it

[fading shell]

dsv legit takes a minute or two to load in game-launch, which has never happened to me before.

so yeah, love it, but my poor potato pc.

[royal arrow]

for you, @unreal stratus, I will play SDV I was sorta leaning towards Littlewood, but I do want to get farther in this save to install RSV

For the tractor mod, how do I enable it so I can chop down trees?

check out the mod description, it includes a link to detailed instructions for tweaking the config file

@fading shell @royal arrow Can you try with this version? (You can optionally try the SMAPI 3.9.1 alpha which adds related optimizations too: <#archived-modded-support message>.)

[charred dagger]

hey guys i just realized something

a while ago i installed the mod Harvest with Scythe

but i didn't really liked it and deleted it

i played again a couple days later and didn't remember i deleted so i kept playing like normal, just now i realized that i wanted to delete it again and it's already gone, but i still have to harvest with scythe

can this happen at all?

[tired brook]

It depends how the mod works. Each crop has a harvest type flag, and harvest with scythe mods often work by changing that to the scythe type. So in that case any crops that were planted when the mod was installed will still need the scythe, and any new crops you plant will be back to normal.

[charred dagger]

its weird because im pretty sure i deleted that mod some days ago, and im playing on a brand new save

the only "crops" i can take by hand are the forage ones when i plant them as seeds

[tranquil furnace]

Can you get mods on Nintendo switch?

[woeful quiver]

Only if you mod your switch and even then it's limited

using a homebrew system I mean

voiding guarantee

[fading shell]

@tired brook just got to 7am in-game, with both the content patcher and smapi alpha builds. the lag/skip when the in-game clock changes is unchanged for me >.> admittedly, i'm running 633 mods which is more than the average player, so i might not be the intended/best test subject

[native grail]

I have 286 mods and the lag is still there. Sometimes it's worse than others.

i just installed a bunch of mods with smapi and they dont do anything

they mods arent enabled as far as I can tell

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

When you say you installed them, what process did you follow?

[short igloo]

i downloaded smapi manually, and then installed a few mods off of nexus, manually

did everything as I was told

and the mods didnt do anything

[junior shore]

Ok, and you unzipped the folders right? Not trying to insult, just testing 🙂

[native grail]

In the mods folder, right?

[short igloo]

yeah, i took the dll and the other one and put em in there

[fading shell]

loose files?

[short igloo]

https://smapi.io/log/df9ecdc983994024ab5b9e6fa3218b0d

[fading shell]

no, they should be folders in your mod folder.

[short igloo]

does that work?

[native grail]

Hm, they were not installed properly

[short igloo]

I need them to be files and I dont just need the dll/PDB?

[native grail]

no, you need the whole folder

[short igloo]

damn

i have to reinstall all of them then

that's unfortunate

[native grail]

you unzip the file and put the unzipped file in there

not just parts of it

[short igloo]

damn

ill do that later then

[fading shell]

your mod folder should be full of folders, not loose files, kinda like this

[short igloo]

that's a lot of mods

[fading shell]

yes it is. but see folders, not loose files XD

[short igloo]

nvm, i still have the downloaded zips

which means I just gotta open em and grab the files

yay

any recommended qol files?

besides the ones in the pins?

depends on what you're looking for

the ones in the pins are highly recommended though

[gilded panther]

I have a few questions about mods, 1. are they compatible with multiplayer 2. can they be turned off 3. anything else I might need to know?

[opal shell]

most are compatible, turn them off by laucnhing stardewvalley exe and not smapi exe

[gilded panther]

Using steam?

[opal shell]

sure

[gilded panther]

k

[royal arrow]

1. depends on the mod, I'll link you a thing that explains in more detail
2. yes you can remove the mod from the Mods folder, or rename it to add . to the beginning of the folder

[gilded panther]

Also, can I use a world ive used before and THEN add mods?

[royal arrow]

absolutely! only some mods have some specific install instructions like Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE), to be installed onto an existing save

[gilded panther]

Thanks!

[robust bison]

even then, it will almost never be game breaking

[opal shell]

i reccomend if you install a bunch of new mods like SVE and ridgeside which add stuff, to do new save, but can keep old one

[gilded panther]

k

[opal shell]

also back up old save in case anything breaks, idk if it would but better safe than sorry

[fading shell]

sve and rsv don't really have time-locked things, but for the sake of immersion it's recommended to start new XD

What if you temporarily remove all mods except Content Patcher and its content packs? A number of other mods you have like Farm Type Manager and Json Assets can be pretty resource intensive.

[opal shell]

this whole game is casual

[gilded panther]

(sorry for asking so many questions) and the whole thing is safe? I'm asking since I'm not the only person using this divice

[opal shell]

1 billion percent safe 0 percent chance to break computer

just backup save and you can reset to how you were before mods

[gilded panther]

Sounds legit.

download from nexus or direct download of smapi

ye

[royal arrow]

What I'm specifically seeing happens every 10 in-game minutes. With the alpha CP alone, it was every 10 in-game minutes. With the alpha SMAPI in addition to alpha CP, it's less frequent, but the skip still happens on the 10min-change, if that makes sense.

Can you...

1. install this version;
2. enable VerboseLogging in your smapi-internal/config.json file;
3. play again until it the lag skip happens a few times;
4. and post a new log?

Enabling verbose logging will cause a lot of lag though, so it might be hard to tell when lag is caused by the original issue. If you can't tell, just play a while until it would normally have lagged a few times.

I'm not sure which config file it means?... the mod's config? or is it something more overarching? here's log link https://smapi.io/log/10e11ae3cbb84c08a51be9990c99a756

[tired brook]

@native grail That's an issue with NPC Map Locations and the experimental 'aggressive memory optimizations' option; I'll take a look and submit a pull request to the author.

[lapis void]

the NPC adventures config

[viscid moth]

Here is my log: https://smapi.io/log/81384e27d3c14cc99eac0fbf453e47ae

[lapis void]

log is still loading for me but i think it's child to NPC, the unofficial update is still buggy

[quiet umbra]

@lapis void Thnx... I'll give it a whirl

[ashen elbow]

heloo peoples

[viscid moth]

ohh i see. i will have to forego that mod for now then. thank you for the help! I thought I would be stuck in that day forever.

[tired brook]

@royal arrow Can you send me a zip of that Mods folder?

[uncut oak]

to disable a mod I just add a dot to the beginning of the name right

[dire fractal]

yup

[royal arrow]

Can I send it via DM?

[uncut oak]

what types of mods make it so a save is unplayable without that mod

[tired brook]

Sure!

[dire fractal]

I think mods that add custom modded items?

SMAPI is good at removing custom npcs and locations

but Pathos will know better

[exotic plover]

any farm map recommendation?

[dire fractal]

anything by DaisyNiko

[exotic plover]

yeah i found her

[steep pewter]

I downloaded the 1.12(?) Version of the item spawner and that worked finally

[dire fractal]

https://smapi.io/log/3d5d6e35517445bf9d00681be55d5377 my game isnt loading my mods

[ornate atlas]

It looks like you need to download json assets. Try that n see if it works

@dire fractal

[opal shell]

" Json Assets 1.7.5 because it needs the 'SpaceCore' mod, which couldn't be loaded."

"spaceCore because you have multiple copies of this mod installed. To fix this, delete these folders and reinstall the mod:"

delete all spacecore folders

[lapis void]

you have multiple copies of several other mods too

they do have JA, it's just not loading because spacecore can't load

[ornate atlas]

Oh right. I just saw that

[dire fractal]

i did and it didnt work

[ashen elbow]

ooh should i try out the secret gourmet mod? it's shiny

[opal shell]

how is it possible to have multple spacecores? dont they overwrite?

unless they are nested i guess

@dire fractal follow these instructions "cannot load spaceCore because you have multiple copies of this mod installed. To fix this, delete these folders and reinstall the mod:"

[lapis void]

the problem is happening because you don't take your mods out of their containing zip folders (with the numbers) when updating. this is leading to you having multiple copies of your mods. the easiest way to update mods is to double click the zipped folder and drag everything inside straight into Mods

[restive grove]

you have them in these locations:

Mods\SpaceCore 1.5.3.zip-1348-1-5-3-1610843574\SpaceCore,
Mods\SpaceCore 1.5.4.zip-1348-1-5-4-1611867409\SpaceCore.

[orchid locust]

Here's hoping the radioactive tools work with the ||Dwarven Forge||

Fingers crossed I like being way OP in the endgame

[opal shell]

woah you can add mods by simpling dragging the zip file in?

[restive grove]

no

[lapis void]

not the zip

[ashen elbow]

yay, nexus broke again

[lapis void]

you have to double click the zip first, open it up and move THOSE folders

[ashen elbow]

damnt i was gonna install secret gourmet for maximum shiny

[heavy flicker]

Um, can anyone here help me with the TimeSpeed mod?

[opal shell]

who knows ask away

[lapis void]

so if you downloaded a mod, the zip folder is like Mod-123456789.zip, you double click that, inside there's a folder named [CP] Mod, you select it and drag into Mods. that unzips it automatically

[heavy flicker]

I'll come back in a minute

[opal shell]

ya i know that, i was curious about these locations. **Mods\SpaceCore 1.5.3.zip-1348-1-5-3-1610843574\SpaceCore, **

oh

the name of the folder is that, its not a zip

[lapis void]

yeah, their issue is that they unzipped the whole folder including the containing folder with the numbers

[opal shell]

ohh

[lapis void]

please ask your question, we have multiple convos here all the time :) we can't help if you don't ask your specific question!

[orchid locust]

Is the person who updated happy birthday here? Because the previous version worked with Multiplayer

[lapis void]

yeah, it's @dusty galleon

[orchid locust]

the unofficial doesn't seem to save the farmhand birthdays so every time start up the farmhand needs to choose their birthday again

[urban lake]

Nexus is back

[lapis void]

oh i remember that being a bug pre 1.5 too

[orchid locust]

I only play MP so I had to remove it

I can handle adopt n skin having issues with the animals constantly changing skins

but needing to choose the birthday over and over again is too much

[uncut oak]

yea I was wondering why it said service unavailable

trying to get some mods

[dusty galleon]

The previous version I had posted worked with multiplayer?

Hmmm.

[uncut oak]

going back to this
for example content patcher mods are perfectly fine right

[dusty galleon]

The previous version was the master version of it.

The latest version was a dev version.

[orchid locust]

I dunno what caused it but we had to choose the farmhand birthday like four times after restarting the game, so I removed it

[uncut oak]

also there's so much good modded farms I want to play them all but I can't dedicate myself to the amount I got

[dusty galleon]

It might have had things that still needed to be fixed in it before release. 😐

[orchid locust]

The host didn't need to choose their day though

[dusty galleon]

And all I really did with it was make it work with 1.5

[orchid locust]

I assume I am the only one with the problem, maybe I'm the only one using it playing only MP

[dusty galleon]

I'm sure I still have the master release, if you would prefer that, but that eliminates the wish list gui thing. 😐

If I remember correctly.

[orchid locust]

Its fine, I just figured I should let you know the issue I was having

[opal shell]

looks like that issue existed for a long time "Yes, but there is an issue where farmhands have to put their birthday in again every time they log into the game."

from 2020

[dusty galleon]

I didn't do any internal updates on the code or anything, as it really isn't my mod.

And I haven't been given that kind of permission. I've heard he retired from modding.

If it was something I could recompile with the updated SMAPI, I did.

[orchid locust]

I remember I didn't have problems pre 1.5 with the previous update

[uncut oak]

I wanna get this content patcher mod that changes the cellar look but it was last updated last year

[orchid locust]

Its too bad people who retire from modding don't make their mods open source or give permission to other people to continue updating it in an official capacity

[uncut oak]

it'll still be fine tho right

[orchid locust]

I imagine that will be fine

[opal shell]

use it and find out

[dusty galleon]

Well, it is on github.

[orchid locust]

I have no experience with such things, I only use them

[dusty galleon]

But there was no official announcement of retirement from modding that I've read, nor was there permission given to edit, or modify codes.

[orchid locust]

There are a handful of mods I wish were given to others for upkeep since they are outdated and not likely to ever be touched again

[dusty galleon]

It's current state is functional in an "as-is" capacity as posted on Github. 😐

But yeah, some mods get that.

Where they are transferred to someone to maintain.

But usually it is someone who they feel can maintain the vision they had in mind for their mod.

[wide arch]

Dude. Murderdrone I like.

[dire fractal]

most people who don't make it open source do it because they aren't aware

[orchid locust]

At least this community has that to some extent, games like fallout and skyrim have lots of those long dead mods

[dusty galleon]

There would be some modders who would keep it closed source to most people, and then open source it to people who they feel could carry the torch and preserve the vision of what they wanted.

I'd be that type of programmer.

When if I were to make a mod, program it, etc, I wouldn't really want to make it public open source, but just open it up to a small group of people who I feel would be able to bounce ideas off of, and possibly take over on it when I felt I did all I could do with it.

[orchid locust]

Pathos does a great job of with the compatibility list too

[dire fractal]

What was the last working version with multiplayer?

[orchid locust]

Nexus has so many mods that don't work with the current SMAPI that without a compatibility list it would make me thing these mods never worked

I know that the last unofficial version worked with MP pre 1.5

1.5 broke it, then the new unofficial version has the same problem with the farmhand needing to choose the birthday/gift everytime the save file reloads

Hmm maybe I should get the ostrich and gold chicken mayo mod...

[ashen elbow]

are there any mods that speed up your baby getting shipped to you?

[dire fractal]

shipped to you?

(jk)

[dusty galleon]

Adoption, I presume?

[ashen elbow]

yeah

[dire fractal]

Don't think I've seen any

rush orders

[orchid locust]

I think I would need a quality artisan products version of the mayos before I update

Wait does PPJA have mayos for those? I know there was dinosaur mayo before the official dino mayo

[dire fractal]

Should I attempt updating happy birthday?

[orchid locust]

Surprisingly, no, there aren't PPJA mayo versions of the new eggs...

[lapis void]

iirc in my multiplayer game we were on the version before the current release for happy birthday? i remember we were having the farmhand bday issue still though

[distant tiger]

would not be surprised if they added that in eventually

[lapis void]

there is a mod for them i think, though idr if it ever got released? someone was working on it

[orchid locust]

I was going to ask ParadigmNomad if they planned on making it but apparently they are away for a while

there is a mod for new mayo's but I kind of like to keep all of those types of mods with one author

[opal shell]

quest framework is back on nexusmods. i wonder if ridgeside village modder will still be working to remove the QF requirement

[dire fractal]

search for messages from PurplingCat

they stated the 'state' of QF

[signal cypress]

Uhh, guys, SVE adds Gunter as an NPC right ?

[distant tiger]

Yes. And Marlon

[signal cypress]

Good, i was confused for a moment

[orchid locust]

In other words I'm faithful to the PPJA mods and I don't really use other mods with similar uses

[opal shell]

gotcha

[lapis void]

RSV will be making QF optional

[orchid locust]

I also don't want to have mods with overlapping functionality and I just kind of assumed PPJA would have done it as well

[distant tiger]

I like PPJA too but they definitely don't have everything. I was surprised recently-ish to find out they didn't have blue eggs either

[orchid locust]

I used to use a very special blue chicken which would make the Blue Chickens randomly lay pearls, but it broke with 1.5 and was never likely to be updated

[unreal stratus]

QF is an optional dependency.

So RSV will work without QF.
You just won't have the quests that are offered via QF.

[dire fractal]

I went to go update ridgeside and saw it was hidden

Oh wait is that wall y'all talking about?

[unreal stratus]

I'm working with Purpling to fix Qf.

Ridgeside is hidden while we work on the update. It'll be available later today.

Along with update 1.2.4

[dire fractal]

Is quest framework broken or something?

I'm so confused

[wet dove]

ok is it ok to ask for help concerning a bug here?

[lapis void]

!aak

!ask

[native dragon]

Feel free to ask your question or describe your issue here, and someone will help if they can :)

[dire fractal]

its currently 'broken' but Obama is working on fixing it with the original author

[wet dove]

because i cant access chests/dressers

[orchid locust]

On a different not, am I the only person who has the issue using Cooking Skill which makes the recipes I don't have ingredients for transparent?

[distant tiger]

oh neat I didn't know about that one. I combined Blue Chicken Products and Blue Eggs (replaced the BCP egg images with the Blue Eggs egg images since I like them better) for my own personal uses.

[lapis void]

typing one handed bc cat lol

[dire fractal]

So...I should wait to update my mods?

hi cat

[wet dove]

wait is there a bunch of issues happening to a lot of mods?

[dire fractal]

RSV has made it optional

[lapis void]

!log Akirathewarblossom#8154

[native dragon]

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

[wet dove]

https://smapi.io/log/8dc6cf01bf594a86adfbe7f23c50d4c1

[distant tiger]

it just looks like you have some weird installation issues for your mods

[lapis void]

try manual instead of using vortex, it looks like vortex has messed up quite a few of your mod folders

[wet dove]

oh heck

its weird i didnt have this issue before

[unreal stratus]

Quest Framework is somewhat bugged. The bug reports and complaints became bothersome to deal with so the author hid the mod for a couple of days.
The author re-stored the file right now so it's available again.

Because of the bugs, Ridgeside changed QF into an optional dependency for anyone wanting to have the QF experience.
For those who do not want to deal with the bugs, it's an optional download.

I'm working with the author of QF to fix QF to a stable state where it can be safely relied upon as a required dependency.

[lapis void]

you also may have not enabled some of them in vortex, but really we recommend manual install for SDV to avoid issues like this

[wet dove]

ah ok

[royal arrow]

Obamoose, you're a star!

[dire fractal]

All the best, Obama

[distant tiger]

+1 to what Lenne said. Thanks for your hard work Obamoose!

[sharp reef]

Hi! Sorry to interrupt the flow of conversation. I just started a new save with a load of mods and when I enter the community center, my screen stays black and I get all sorts of error text. I don't know how to read the errors/figure out what's happening, but I have a feeling I know what the problem is. Could someone take a look at it for me so I can attempt to confirm it? Here's my log: https://smapi.io/log/503878dc3df24a7b892058be7e098737

[lapis void]

it also looks like you install your mods by unzipping the whole folder into the mods folder, so you have multiple copies of some mods because they didn't overwrite. to fix that, take the folders out of those larger folders with long names, like Modname-1.5-123456789

[lapis void]

remove entoarox modding utilities

didn't even look at the log i just know this one offhand LMAO

[sharp reef]

thanks! 🙂

[lapis void]

you most likely don't need it unless you're using sundrop city

[sharp reef]

aight cool. totally not what i had in mind but i'll try it haha

[heavy flicker]

I'm back, still having some trouble with the TimeSpeed mod

[wide arch]

How?

N is default to stop time

[heavy flicker]

For days I've been trying to get different versions to work, but whenever I tried loading up the game with it, my SMAPI log would say it couldn't load because "it contains files, but none of them are manifest.json"

[stark flower]

someone know if i can remove the 3x5 red area in front of the cave without using mod

[heavy flicker]

Which didn't make sense, because those files were right in there

[stark flower]

(if i can edit the game code or something)

[heavy flicker]

Then today, I hit a breakthrough

[dire fractal]

You can also remove CFR and the bridge

[lapis void]

wait huh, you don't have EMU, just entoarox framework. this is a different error than i was thinking

[heavy flicker]

Someone suggested that the issue was the folder for the mod had a bunch of others in it, and that I should unzip everything into a separate folder and just move the TimeSpeed folder into the Mods folder

[sharp reef]

will do!

[dire fractal]

oh damn I think I know what this is

[heavy flicker]

So I tried that, and now instead of the manifest.json error message, it's saying that it's missing the file timespeed.dll

I checked since I'm using the latest version of the mod, and it in fact doesn't have that file

[dire fractal]

Something to do with custom bundles

[lapis void]

i wonder if it's ItemBags?

[heavy flicker]

But I had older versions of the mod still downloaded, so I tried moving a timespeed.dll file from one of those to the latest one

Oh hang on I have to eat

[sharp reef]

i had a feeling about that. i had to remove a mod that someone said corrupted their save file, and i think that's what happened here

had to do with custom bundles

[lapis void]

aha, which mod was it that you removed?

[dire fractal]

might have to edit the bundle data out of your save then.

[sharp reef]

the love of cooking. the kitchen bundle, no matter what, conflicted with the challenging community center bundles mod

[lapis void]

how far into this save are you? it may be best to just start a new one

[sharp reef]

i'm only 8 days in lol, so i can. just wanted to see if there was a way to save it (i hate starting new saves!)

[lapis void]

like strobe said, you'd have to edit it out of your save i think

you can also try adding back LoC with the bundles turned off, and trying to save once? i think there's a fix built in for corrupted bundles

[native grail]

tried to enter festival of ice, it threw this error and bypassed it

is it because of the Custom Npc tmxl locations stuff?

[sharp reef]

i can try, but i remember the report on LoC saying that they tried that and it didn't work

i'll just make a new save! thanks so much for the help!

[dire fractal]

I was back-reading

Oh glad you were just 8 days in

[sharp reef]

i definitely got lucky there

[native grail]

https://smapi.io/log/de2ac360dd764c6d8fcb5e0f0c56bfbb

This is the full log

how do I fix this? If it's possible

[heavy flicker]

Should I come back later?

[dire fractal]

Is this for pathos?

[dire fractal]

hey sorry, lemme check

[lapis void]

check your antivirus, it probably quarantined the dll

[heavy flicker]

Okay

[dire fractal]

very likely, yeah

[lapis void]

firallia, it's from custom npc mods that still use TMXL festival locations, so it's caused by any you have that still do it that way

[uncut oak]

damn I really need mtn updated

[heavy flicker]

Oh hang on I forgot to finish, after I tried putting the older version's dll in the error message was this instead:

[native grail]

No, not this one, I suspect it's a TMXL thingie

[heavy flicker]

Which obviously isn't true, since this is the latest version of the mod

[lapis void]

the older version's dll won't load because it's out of date, so SMAPI can't rewrite it

[native grail]

Ohhh. I have a lot. How do I fix them? Do I have to wait until their modder does it, or is it easy, like deleting a file?

[dire fractal]

(have you posted a log?)

[lapis void]

i think you can just delete [TMX] NPC X Festivals folders

[native grail]

Some of them have Festivals and Spouse rooms together

I'm not married to any of them so hopefully it won't be an issue

[lapis void]

yeah, you only need the spouse room if you plan to marry them

[dire fractal]

@heavy flicker have you posted a log, bud?

[heavy flicker]

Yeah I just did

It's up there

Or do I need the whole log?

[lapis void]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[lapis void]

that's not your log, it's a screenshot of an error and doesn't help us much. but i think your issue is that your antivirus quarantined the dll, you need to redownload the mod, reinstall and remove the dll from quarantine

[heavy flicker]

I'm trying to find where my quarantined files are

[dire fractal]

Disable your antivirus or add the smapi, sdv folders to the exclusion list

[wraith belfry]

Is someone else having problems with Advanced Location Loader being outdated?

i downloaded the latest version which has been uploaded today but it still doesn't work

[lapis void]

yeah that mod's been outdated for a long time, what do you need it for?

[wraith belfry]

uuh i have so many mods downloaded, i thought it was necessary for SVE??

[lapis void]

no, ALL hasn't been updated since 2019 and is not necessary for SVE. it used to be a very long time ago

SVE uses TMXL Map Toolkit

[wet dove]

oh i fixed my issues! i used Vortex's purge mod thing and re-enabled all my mods and everything is fine now

[wraith belfry]

oh ty, it might be some outdated mod i downloaded that requires ALL

[heavy flicker]

https://smapi.io/log/f9f535410b3e4bce87d3e873d5a9362f

Here's my log

[ornate atlas]

hmm ran into a game launching problem. any ideas? https://smapi.io/log/13da5f33b3d3410dbbbecea3f030f3fd

[lapis void]

SVE does have a mod id StardewValleyExpandedALL because it used to use ALL, but it uses TMXL now

make sure you have all other dependencies for SVE

[lapis void]

when you install mods, do you leave them in the folders with a bunch of numbers?

[ornate atlas]

M-maybe

[pine inlet]

i have the phone mod and gus just called me and it terrified me because i set the ringtone to the sans one and forgot-

[ashen elbow]

lmao

[royal arrow]

do you mean the megalomania song o: ?

[lapis void]

yank those out of the folders with numbers and try again

probably one of your mods just gave up the ghost bc it has five different subfolders and just couldn't be read

[ornate atlas]

Gotcha. That makes sense. tyvm

[pine inlet]

yeah- i was so confused when it was playing and i didnt know where it was coming from LOL--

[heavy flicker]

I tried asking someone with microsoft support where the quarantined files would be, and they said that the antivirus doesn't quarantine files

So I guess I'll just keep looking

[lapis void]

have you tried redownloading the mod, deleting the old folder and reinstalling?

[woeful quiver]

Initially 👀

[unreal stratus]

It's an XNB mod
