[sick cave]

ah

i probably shouldn't have gone ahead with downloading 150+ mods while also being a complete beginner to mods 😬

[scarlet panther]

snrk

[sick cave]

is it worth maybe deleting and redownloading them? like you suggested to antonella?

[scarlet panther]

I'm not entirely sure. You're not getting a crash, right? Just terrible performance?

(also, a fresh log may help if things changed)

[royal arrow]

theoretically it can be done, but you'd need to read through the mod descriptions and comments to make sure you wouldn't have issues.
But also people who do that from the get go are both impressive and terrifying. I may have 450 mods now, but that collection took me over a year

[scarlet panther]

I tend to rush mods when I get a new game. But I've also been using mods for oh so many years. >_>

But yeah, what @royal arrow said is important - read through the mod descriptions carefully.

[royal arrow]

I've been modding for years as well but I still prefer to get through the game for a bit with no mods.
Unless it's Bethesda. Or Dragon Age. lol

[royal arrow]

not sure why you're pinging here :p but I suppose I appreciate being told I'm right

[keen crow]

I usually own two copies of games... a pc version for modding and a console one for the vanilla

[sick cave]

lemme get a new log!

[scarlet panther]

Force of habit, really. I come from an IRC background, and find it really weird that people are annoyed by pings. >_>

Like, if you're saying someone's name, you tab complete 'em and move on. <_<

I'm not even 100% used to doing replies yet. ;p

[worthy moth]

I've purchased SDV and Minecraft more times than I can recall. Probably 1 of every version on multiple platforms.

[sick cave]

https://smapi.io/log/9fba337cc357404ca6e333c85f4ba89c still jittery :/

[worthy moth]

Windows 7 how old is that PC?

(Not that it should matter) but you could be running into resource limitations

[sick cave]

it's,,,,,, getting up there. only a laptop and i've had it since,,2018?

[scarlet panther]

huh. I didn't even notice that bit.

[sick cave]

that's super possible, just annoying because it has been working alright before and today it's decided to have a meltdown

[scarlet panther]

Been staring at logs too much >_<

[sick cave]

this entire section is invalid - it just redirects me to the same version of these that i already have

[keen crow]

Manifests are probably out of date, you can fix them yourself

[worthy moth]

In those cases it's likely the mod author forgot to update the version in the download*
Not the actual mod but manifest as mentioned above.

[keen crow]

One of my own mods has an out of date manifest so pot, kettle

[sick cave]

i'm going to be completely honest i have no idea what a manifest is

[keen crow]

Inside the mod folder, you'll have a file called manifest.json or just manifest

[worthy moth]

It's just a file that comes with every mod that says the name, author, version, and things

It's a text file so you can edit it yourself if you want to get rid of that warning, otherwise it's not big deal

[sick cave]

oh, so i can just type in there that it's the number that smapi is telling me to update it to?

[worthy moth]

Exactly, just edit whatever version it says to the newest

[royal arrow]

Yea you can turn off pings in replies, too. If I'm actively in the chat, I'd rather not get pinged because I'm here, I'll see it. Replies are super cool because you can link to what you're referring to without having the big quote that just re-posts what you're referring to.
Very helpful when chat is popping here and people can follow the multiple conversations better.

[worthy moth]

Discord replies are the best we have at the moment, I really wish we had threaded support, but it's nice that there is some continuity to conversations now

[sick cave]

okay SO edited the manifests, updated elevator, made sure i've installed sve properly... i'll restart my computer, reset and then see if everything's good again!

[ivory violet]

uuuhmm... i downloaded the mushroom propagator mod recently, just got the recipe, and

suffice to say this is not how it was supposed to be

this paper lantern is from Stardew Crossing Furniture i believe

[worthy moth]

Can you post your logs?

[native dragon]

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

[worthy moth]

A couple things come to mind for what may cause this, but it helps to see your mod loadout

[ivory violet]

well, nothing weird that i can see here, but i'll gegt it

get*

tbh theres an update for json assets

https://smapi.io/log/e3b7aefe908849a5b239b93e44c9af53

there's some stuff to update that i hadn't noticed, but other than that, it doesn't seem to have any issues with anything else

[worthy moth]

My two best guesses are xnb files are not vanilla, or a CP mod is patching the big craftable spritesheet

Neither of those would cause errors, just unintentional behavior

[ivory violet]

i never touched my xnb files

[keen crow]

.

[ivory violet]

how can i check the other option?

[worthy moth]

It is Stardew Crossing furniture

Mushroom does it's thing, then StardewCrossingFurniture edits the file again after

[ivory violet]

huh

[keen crow]

Could make Mushroom load after it instead?

Shove Stardew Crossing further up in the load order

[worthy moth]

Probably wouldn't help since Stardew Crossing isn't using any framework to remove collisions

[ivory violet]

muh mush lamps... they're so cute...

can't believe mushrooms are impeding mushrooms

[worthy moth]

So they kind of put you in a position to use their mod without any other mods that add BigCraftables

[ivory violet]

can i add something like that manually?

[keen crow]

Looks like they only put the Japanese Paper Lamps into bigcraftable because as furniture they can't be put outside

[worthy moth]

So you can just edit the mod to remove that and call it a day

Or convert that one object into JA format

The whole reason we use JA is to avoid this issue

[ivory violet]

this is the furniture list

[worthy moth]

Furniture is fine, that's on a separate sprite sheet

[ivory violet]

it's weird because the only things listed as bigcraftables are the outside lamps

[worthy moth]

(It may cause furniture collisions)

[ivory violet]

but, ah, that makes sense

how do i convert it to JA?

i really want to keep both mods

i have another mod that seems to use bigcraftables as well, the Junimo Box one, but it never came up as an issue either

[worthy moth]

You'd basically create a new JA Mod and copy the assets over. Fine for personal use, or you can suggest it to the mod author.

[ivory violet]

i've never made a JA for furniture... how would i do that?

[keen crow]

The Junimo Boxes got fixed Aloneko
They're chests again

[ivory violet]

imma update then

[keen crow]

First comment

[ivory violet]

wdym?

[keen crow]

The fix is in the first comment on the nexus page. It's an unofficial fix 🙂

[ivory violet]

ah okay

i'm seeing a lot of customfurniture stuff, but i don't really wanna use it

[sick cave]

hello me again 🙃 here's my log https://smapi.io/log/d5fc76dbeb9b4b8995905a93879c7c53 the problem looks to be still with npc map locations so should i just uninstall it or is there something i can do like i did in the manifests to make it,,not not work ??

[ivory violet]

do you have an example or guide that i could follow? :/

[worthy moth]

Just the JA Documentation https://github.com/spacechase0/JsonAssets#bigcraftables

Also helps if you look at another JA mod as an example

[ivory violet]

i've never seen one for furniture...

[worthy moth]

Not for furniture, just the lamps. That should be the only thing editing BigCraftables.

[ivory violet]

...this is probably a dumb question but i don't know any better. How would i make them emit light?

[worthy moth]

You can copy the CP edit, but replace where it hardcodes the parentsheetindex with a JA Token

Unless that's something which JA already supports, I'm not familiar with that

[ivory violet]

i'm not familiar with any of this....... aaaa

what is a JA Token?

[worthy moth]

https://github.com/spacechase0/JsonAssets#content-patcher-api

[proven pewter]

CF can do lamps as well

although they will then be furniture instead of craftables

[worthy moth]

Oh maybe CF would be a better conversion for this pack then

[proven pewter]

afaik though you can't do recipes for CF items, so they would be shop/catalog only

[ivory violet]

last i saw, CF was messing up with items put on tables... but these are just lamps, eh

shouldn't be a problem

[proven pewter]

I believe that was patched

pretty sure I saw something about that in the changelogs

[ivory violet]

was there an update? i'll have to check it then

[ivory violet]

can they be found in CJB item spawner tho?

[proven pewter]

yeah

everything is in the item spawner :P

[ivory violet]

i wish

some stuff isn't

[proven pewter]

really?

[ivory violet]

the propagator, for example

[proven pewter]

oh probably because it's a manual edit and not using JA

[ivory violet]

and the customfurniture i used to have never showed up in it

[proven pewter]

oh now that is weird

[ivory violet]

only in the catalogue

[proven pewter]

CF has been showing up in CJB for me

at least last time I tried it

[ivory violet]

yeah i gave up on CF for a while

[proven pewter]

I mean it wasn't updated to 1.5 for a long time

and 1.5 seems to have broken some older CF packs

[ivory violet]

yea the ones i used were pretty old

[proven pewter]

I was using the barfy's furniture CF port and the chairs are all screwed up now lol

[ivory violet]

sigh... i've never made a conversion before

[proven pewter]

for simple items without rotation, CF is pretty easy to use

[keen crow]

No time like the present Alo

[proven pewter]

the rotation logic can be hard to figure out though since it seems to work differently for every furniture type

[ivory violet]

i think i found the bigcraftables bit from this content.json

but i'm pretty sure i'll end up breaking a lot of stuff

[worthy moth]

https://tenor.com/view/missed-shots-chances-100-you-gif-5727430

[ivory violet]

where to start

[royal arrow]

iirc in the JA documentation this is a setting, to emit light. I've seen it for a big craftable added by JA

[sick cave]

hiya, has anyone been able to look at this?

[ivory violet]

i shall become a moth and make lamps

[lapis void]

like i said earlier, i'm fairly sure the problem is caused by CP mods loading in new locations, like SVE. i've seen the error a lot. have you checked the comments on NPC map locations to see if anyone has suggested a fix?

[ivory violet]

every lamp i can find uses bigcraftables

i am sad

[topaz matrix]

i have a problem i think

[sick cave]

hi. me. again. massive problem this time. i've spent all day trying to make this work and it was just so laggy so i deleted some mods and now it just crashes. constantly. pls help. https://smapi.io/log/03cd51df2af445c1b63d21167ca0b2a6

excuse me if i seem grouchy but stardew is my stress reliever and rn it's causing me SO MUCH STRESS

also can i message someone privately because i feel like my dumb dumb energy is annoying everyone oops

[outer turret]

Sometimes all you can so is remove mods until it works then add them back in until it breaks and in that manner identify the problematic one. Its tedious though

[keen crow]

Also careful about loading into your previous saves, as removing some mods can break the save, remember don't save. I always test modding out on new saves, just in case 🙂

[slim jay]

Does anyone else here use Ohdavi's portraits mod?

[short bison]

Hi klaus! If you still need help with your issue, I can try to look at a few things.

[dire fractal]

hello guys, i'm trying to install SMAPI, i'm using kubuntu, (ubuntu 20.04) i try to run the .sh but it open and closes immediately, tried to install manually but the game doesnt open (mono is installed)

[dire fractal]

solve it, i should have installed mono-complete

[radiant yarrow]

Hello, is NPC Map Locations broken for SVE or i'm doing something wrong?

[worthy moth]

It should work, but you may need to do a clean installation to make sure there are no stray files from earlier versions

[radiant yarrow]

Okay ill try

Maybe i have incompatible mods idk ill try adding mods one by one so far what i have doesn't cause any errors

[dire fractal]

Do you have to have the ContentPack one person is using in order to play multiplayer with them?

[gaunt flare]

Does anyone have a nice character icon mod that makes them keep their overall look but polishes them more or slightly overhauls them?

[heavy dew]

hi, suddenly my game is crashing for a fish pond error, i have sdve , more fishes and sdv medieval skins but as soon as the game loads my 3rd fish pond that has a mantaray at 10/10 or 9/10 (lower than that didnt have a problem) it crashes everytime. does anyone knows how to ix this?

https://smapi.io/log/c90e58e58e8841389313ae3d13b770c4

[royal arrow]

depends. If it's purely visual like a recolor, or a dialog mod, then you don't need to have it. Those changes are specific to the player who has the mod installed. More details below

!mpmods

[native dragon]

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

[royal arrow]

there are portrait mods for "slightly cuter" or "slightly edited" by this mod author Poltergeister, this may be up your alley https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/users/2679113?tab=user+files
Seasonal Villager Outfits (SVO) is currently hidden, but Diverse Stardew on ModDrop has vanilla options and also gives them seasonal outfits

[winter pumice]

hey guys, I changed my farm to the upgraded hilltop farm recently, so my pond was removed in the process, leaving the crab pots floating in a cliffside; the issue I'm having is that the crab pots seem to be stuck there now. I removed the mod and attempted to remove the crab pots, but they wouldn't budge. It let me put bait in them though, so now they have products.
I've played most of this season on the upgraded farm, so I really don't wanna bother with restoring a backup save. I was just wondering if there was a mod/tool that would let me erase the crab pots entirely. Thanks!

[short bison]

You might be able to reach them with No Clip Mode

[royal arrow]

this ⬆️ and if the issue is that they're not removeable because they're not in water (?) you could put back the old farm mod for 1 day, remove the crab pots, and then change back to your new farm mod the next day. You could even roll back the day using debug commands so you don't lose the day either, debug day X.

[gaunt flare]

does anyone have the link to a decent save editor? I tried using one to basically get my save back to what it was on my PS4 (I just got it on PC) but it only worked in some aspects

[radiant yarrow]

So it's incompatible? Because that's the only version for SVE

[radiant yarrow]

.

[winter pumice]

I tried this, as well as No Clip like punk suggested, but was unable to pick them up. Even when I reverted the farm to the vanilla version. It was weird that it let me put bait in, but not pick them up. Even tried with a swim mod, no luck

[keen crow]

You don't use the old versions. You use the latest. SVE handles it's own location data now, but you still need the NPC mod

[radiant yarrow]

Okay what about the map recoloring then?

What should i do in that case?

[keen crow]

[CP] Stardew Valley Expanded\assets\Maps\WorldMaps

Put them in there

[radiant yarrow]

My character doesn't appear on map, this is how it should be?

[placid gyro]

Hey guys. Anyone knows a mod to grow giant crops instantly?

[spice turret]

boop

[royal arrow]

I got back from the Fair, went to get some stuff from the machines I had, since they weren't put into the chests by Automate (this is a quirk with Festival End Time Tweak), and the weirdest thing happened. The grass flashed in and out of existence, and then the game crashed .-. I've never had a crash like this before. Beware I have a ton of mods so the log is big. The errors were hard for me to understand, and they don't mention Festival End Time Tweak. Any ideas would be helpful
https://smapi.io/log/3e9245fe7bfd45deabea40a8d418eafc

[thorn sapphire]

How do u install mods?

[exotic raptor]

you need smapi.io, as well as a 7zip installed and then you could go on Nexus website and download mods directly from there 🙂

sorry for poor instructions I'm sure someone else could explain better than me

[thorn sapphire]

yep thx, but can't understand

[exotic raptor]

https://smapi.io/ and https://www.7-zip.org/

directly download smap.io

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley and this site to actually download mods

[polar steppe]

So, something weird is going on in my game. Some items are having their names changed for some reason, like my watermelon products are now wisteria products. My juniper berry products got named to lemon products. There's no errors in SMAPI, so this is really weird. Also my Artichoke Syrup got changed to Fairy Duster Pod. I'm sure there's a bunch more that are not named correctly.

[keen crow]

It's called a JSON scramble, happens when you add new JSON mods into a existing save 🙂

[keen crow]

!gettingstarted

[native dragon]

@thorn sapphire 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

[polar steppe]

I see, so this must be from me installing Expanded Storage yesterday. I didn't see this before. Hmm...

[thorn sapphire]

Wait does the mod apply to all of ur save files

[keen crow]

Any save you load into with the mods installed, yes

[thorn sapphire]

so mod installed, then every save u get in, u have to mod

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Then is Stadew expanded available in smapi?

[exotic raptor]

smapi is just the mod loader, it can load any mod

[thorn sapphire]

so u choose mod in smapi, then dowload it in nexus mods?

[keen crow]

It's a mod loader, not a mod manager

You download your mod and then unpack that mod into the Mods folder, then load the game with SMAPI

[thorn sapphire]

[keen crow]

The link I shared explains the process

[polar steppe]

So how would I undo the scramble? Would I just remove the mod causing the issue? Or does it work itself out over time?

[keen crow]

You can't if you've already saved and no, it doesn't. You can, however, replace the new things with what you had before by spawning them in with CJB Item Spawner if you remember what they were

[polar steppe]

I don't but I have a really good idea on what they were since all of my processes for my crops are separated into their own thing. So I guess the mod is basically stuck in my game now since I can't just remove it?

[keen crow]

The IDs of everything would get scrambled again, I believe, if you remove the other mod

JA when it adds to the game gives the items ID # like the game has, but if you add or remove a pack, these numbers get changed

[polar steppe]

Hmm... is there a way to get SMAPI to recognize the new ID list?

[keen crow]

Nope, not in the current save, sadly

[polar steppe]

Oof... that's pretty unfortunate. So with that being sad my save is basically screwed at this point? Oh geez...

[royal arrow]

What I've taken to doing is removing the last JA mod I installed, go take screenshots of all my chests that have JA items, for reference. Then add the JA mod, trash the scrambled items, and spawn the correct ones in based on the screenshots

[runic cobalt]

Hello

I have a question

Sorry to bother ALL you guys

[royal arrow]

This assumes you haven't saved with the IDs already scrambled

[runic cobalt]

You know if have an alternative material for wood and Hardwood?

[polar steppe]

Unfortunately I did, since I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary at first. But SMAPI does have a save backup feature, so I could just restore one of those saves from before the mess I believe.

[keen crow]

I don't believe so T?

[royal arrow]

Yup! And in addition to the backups SMAPI makes, you can also roll back 1 day from the save folder itself

!saves

[native dragon]

Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.

[runic cobalt]

T?

[polar steppe]

I just reverted to an old save since I really don't feel like going through all my chests and redoing the items lol.

[runic cobalt]

Why this chat is dead?

[exotic raptor]

This chat is just for mod help I believe or showcasing mods

Unless you need mod help or showing a mod there are other chat rooms to join

[polar steppe]

So I rolled back my save, but then I found that some other mod must have caused this mess. I went looking in my other chests and unfortunately I have to redo everything anyways lol.

Fun times...

[short portal]

Ahh, so once I find my old saves, how do I roll back to it? I want to repeat just 1 day back. This chat was perfect timing for my own predicament

(I'm testing my dialogue mod on specific days)

nvm, got it to work~

[topaz matrix]

i have a problem a bunch of mummies crashed my game in the desert.
like a hoard of mummies was just there.

https://smapi.io/log/abd8bcd099d54c4d818b4e80f993150a

[topaz matrix]

i was able to defeat them but after going to bed the game crashed

[polar steppe]

@short portal The guide that LenneDalben posted helps you find your save files.

[short bison]

Might be due to Multiplayer. Errors seem linked to PyTK which is not installed on all players involved. The orange text will tell you more

Search Multiplayer Mod Checker in your log (you can use ctrl + f to find it quickly) and it'll tell you which mods are or aren't installed on which player

[manic reef]

game was just working a few hours ago, now it's not letting me open it, saying no suitable graphics card found

any advice?

[topaz matrix]

the player i was playing with is going to update their mods

[short bison]

Oh boy Neko that sure is an error huh. Running through steam or directly through smapi.exe?

[manic reef]

through steam

nvm. just needed a graphics driver update or something

[outer turret]

I think there might be an issue with monsters, FTM and CP added maps?

And the save serializer?

The Android version of the game is quite a bit different from other ports and so needs a custom version of SMAPI. See https://stardewcommunitywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Android for details on getting started.

Does anyone have any good mod suggestions to change the spouse rooms? Specifically for 1.5

I love shane but good god I hate his spouse room

Also does anyone know the name of the mod that tells you how much exp you're getting when you do thing

[placid kraken]

is there any way to line them up all together?

[keen crow]

Use connectors :)

[placid kraken]

what are they called in specific

[keen crow]

Paths. If you look in the mod's config file you'll see which ones are enabled currently, you can also add in your own

[lapis void]

the mod APK is free. however, you need to have a legal copy of the game from the Play Store in order to use it. as a reminder, please don't discuss pirating the game or ask for help with a pirated copy here!

(you can get plenty of cheats using mods, most of which will be MUCH more stable than ones on hacked apks)

[gentle roost]

are they outdated?

[polar steppe]

@gentle roost SMAPI tells you which are outdated by saying to check for an update. However most of those there are either outdated or do not have all the files they need in order to work.

[gentle roost]

i will try re-installing them for now

[polar steppe]

There's really no reason to, the ones that are outdated that it shows are no longer compatible.

[errant hornet]

And it's also telling you downloaded more than one of TMXL and FTM

[gentle roost]

ohhh not compatible okays

i will see whats up n try

[chilly swallow]

honestly I don't touch smapi when it's loading unless it's on a pause

[neat plaza]

ah

[chilly swallow]

I have had it crash before, doing that, so I just c/pa if I want to look at what's loading

[zinc shadow]

I am having some stuck loading screens, can anybody help? When I try to load my save, I get stuck on infinite loading screen. I am about 6 hours into the game, which took place across multiple sessions meaning I have been able to load it fine before now. I've been playing on co-op but the save won't load in singleplayer either.

I've tried restarting my computer, reinstalling all the mods, reinstalling the whole game, and reverting to the "_old" backup saves but i have had no luck so far. I have had someone else open my save from their computer and it worked fine and similarly I am able to open other saves. If anybody has a suggestion pls lmk!

[hazy void]

I have a (dumb) question. If I wanted to host a game while using mods, would my community that joins the world need to have those mods as well?

[neat plaza]

depends on the mods

!mpmods

[native dragon]

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

[errant hornet]

Depending on the mod(s), but for most of mods yes

[hazy void]

Okay thanks for the info and link.

[chilly swallow]

other than dupe images, I don't really see anything in that list that should make it not load.. but I only know basics, sorry I can't be of more help

maby fix the dupe images, and then see if it'll load?

[zinc shadow]

I tried taking away the mod that creates that warning and it still doesnt load

but thank you for looking!

[chilly swallow]

hopefully someone else here can help a bit more

[zinc shadow]

🤞 crossing my fingers its been driving me nuts for hours lol

[delicate spruce]

So, I should look for a different fishing mod then?

[outer turret]

or figure out the fix but I don't know how persistent it is. Basically with Tehs you cannot catch fish from custom maps

what do you need a fishing mod for?

might help us advise you

[delicate spruce]

Just some basic improvements, and breaking the game via Iridium-quality fish.

SVE isn't that incompatible now is it?

[outer turret]

you can't catch fish on custom maps with Tehs installed. It's not an SVE issue, it's a Tehs issue. There's a way around it, but I haven't done it (or used Tehs, just helped people trouble shoot it)

[delicate spruce]

A'ight, I'll keep that in mind.

I'm pretty sure I saw some people trouble shooting it here and there.

[outer turret]

yeh there's instructions somewhere

[unreal stratus]

Weird. It's like your smapi stops loading the game

Just randomly stops

[near belfry]

I need a hair color mode for better blonde hair like Haley’s dm or ping me if you know one

[feral minnow]

i can't use a mod without smapi?

i wanted to turn off controller rumble when riding a horse

[neat plaza]

unless it's an xnb mod, no

[errant hornet]

(Which often break the game)

[neat plaza]

mhm

[sick cave]

hi! i'll pm you now ❤️

[willow creek]

hi

can anyone recommend good mods to install?

[neat plaza]

!modrecs

[native dragon]

Check out https://gist.github.com/Pathoschild/b608892d3e60bd25d0eea71ca7584649 for a list of mods recommended by Pathoschild! They're all compatible with the latest versions of SMAPI and Stardew Valley on Linux/Mac/Windows.

[gaunt flare]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/127?tab=files&file_id=40076, i'm currently using this mod to essentially carry over my ps4 save to PC, but I am not able to change the days/season, it just... has no effect. Has anyone else had this issue?

[oblique jay]

I'm not familiar with the save editor, but if the day / season set isn't working then you can use the debug commands in the SMAPI console to set them.

Set day: https://stardewcommunitywiki.com/Modding:Debug_commands#day
Set season: https://stardewcommunitywiki.com/Modding:Debug_commands#season

[gaunt flare]

Thank you!

[surreal ember]

Hi, some plants ||I mean Hot Peppers|| give me usually 1-2 fruits after harvesting, but sometimes they give me more then 20 I think one of my mods changes something

Maybe someone has the same issue?

I use those mods:

[sick cave]

hello i tried to fix something by myself and it is so so so much worse just getting a log now

[errant hornet]

Uh. My computer can't load the log..?

Nevermind loaded

Weird. None of them should do this

[sick cave]

hi is someone able to help me right now? everything has gone wrong and i'm going to cry probably

[willow creek]

you have a file missing on your base game

[errant hornet]

!reset

[native dragon]

@sick cave 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 :)

[errant hornet]

This may help

[surreal ember]

The Awesome Professions/Walk of Life has a farming profession on 5 lvl that makes I have 10% chance to get an extra harvest
I think in vanilla game the same profession is rising prices of crops by 10%

Maybe this mod?

but

hm

[errant hornet]

Oh. Probably it does it then.

Then it's not really a bug? 😛

[willow creek]

good

[surreal ember]

but still it is too much :v

[willow creek]

it will work after that

[sick cave]

so i deleted all of my mods, should i now redownload them one by one?

[willow creek]

no

replace them

[surreal ember]

After harvesting 25 Hot Pepper Plants I have over 150 fruits XDD

[sick cave]

so go on nexus and download them from the start?

[errant hornet]

*6

25*6..?

[willow creek]

no. replace them. the mods you deleted are on recycle bin

recycle the mods

[sick cave]

i'm really sorry i'm not undestanding. do i need to empty my recycling bin or move them from my recycling bin back into the mods folder?

[willow creek]

2nd option

[sick cave]

okay

[surreal ember]

hm

I updated the mod

but

[sick cave]

hello! i've done that, opened the save and it immediately takes me back to the concernedape screen

https://smapi.io/log/4744238792bd4f61bf70e88e5b19da84

[whole merlin]

How do i make vortex detect stardew valley

Im using linux and i don't know if having steam in a hidden folder makes any difference

[errant hornet]

Instead of using Vortex, manual downloading mods is the better option. Vortex can cause issues with SDV mods

[whole merlin]

Oh ok

I never atchually ever used it before

[errant hornet]

I learnt it the hard way 😛

[whole merlin]

Oof

I guess i will make a script

So i dont have to manually move over the mods

[errant hornet]

Tbh I don't know anything about Linux usage, bcs of I've never used it

[whole merlin]

I had no hope of getting help anyways

But i did

And the help was good enough

[surreal ember]

The number of fruits I can harvest from each plant is generated at the start of a day, isn't is?
cuz I uninstalled the mod, but when I harvest the Hot Peppers it's the same as it was :/

||btw, sorry about my English :p||

[whole merlin]

Probably i guess

Idk

Btw linux gaming is easy

Most of the timw at least

[errant hornet]

You mean the walk of life mod?

[surreal ember]

yup

[errant hornet]

Then it caused your problem, I guess.

🤷‍♀️

[sick cave]

can someone please help me because i can't make sense of any of this and i have tried everything i can think of https://smapi.io/log/00284958b1e746ba9c312a3f9f19655b

the only thing i can think to do at this point is delete everything and completely restart because every time i open the save it just goes back to the concernedape screen

i've reset it, i've uninstalled and reinstalled mods, i've updated all of the mods with updates and it still crashes whenever i try to open it and it's been doing this for a day now

yesterday i was playing it fine, woke up the next in-game morning and everything was lagging. it's all fallen apart from there

i don't really want to lose what i've done and start again fresh but i'm not entirely sure what else i can do - everything everyone suggests seems to cause different problems : (

[errant hornet]

Update your BFAV mod, Remove the smapi installer the extra copy of Shiko NPC mod from your mods folder. Let's fix the errors showen telling Couldn't be loaded first.

(You can also either remove Bug Net or install PPJA Fresh meat so Bugnet will not give error)

[sick cave]

when i use the link that the log gives me, it takes me to the same version that i have downloaded (in nexus)

[errant hornet]

Then look for an unofficial update at https://smapi.io/mods

[errant hornet]

Saying that because first fixing these may fix after coming other errors too

[sick cave]

got one and downloaded it, shall i delete the current bfav mod and put the new one in place?

and here, should i delete the first of the two? is that where the problem is? other than that i can't find any extra copies

[errant hornet]

COMPLETELY delete the old one, then put the new one to Mods (BFAV)

You can delete any of them. Just choose one and delete it (Shiko NPC)

[sick cave]

okay, i've done these

[sick cave]

i'm going to uninstall both of these because i don't really want either of them anyway and they're just causing problems

shall i try to open the game now?

[errant hornet]

You dont have PPJA fresh meat installed. Just Bugnet requires that

[errant hornet]

No

Also delete SMAPI installer in your mods folder.

[sick cave]

okay

[errant hornet]

Also having both SVE and Entoarox Framework can cause issues. Consider deleting one of them (And sure all mods require the one you'll delete)

[sick cave]

is there a faster way for me to check which mods rely on entoarox framework, other than looking at all the mods i have installed on nexus and their required additional files?

[errant hornet]

You can check Entoarox Framework's nexus page and open mods requiring this file and see which ones you have requiring it

[sick cave]

okay, thank you

[errant hornet]

If you want to do a double check, you can open manifest.jsons of your mods and see if it's written that the mod needs EF.

(I sure can't make you do it, but I'd do that double check)

[sick cave]

i will now

thank you

[errant hornet]

Hope it gets fixed. I'm feeling bad bcs of it got worse

[errant hornet]

Ping me when you're done

[sick cave]

okay i've checked through the manifests and cant find any dependencies on EF @errant hornet

[errant hornet]

Uh. Weird. Do you remember why did you download it? (Bcs it doesn't do so many things on its own)

[sick cave]

more animals was the only one i found which depended on it and i've removed that!

[errant hornet]

Ooh ok.

Remove your Better dinosaur Ranching, Custom Crops mods

And it also tells you have a Content/Events folder in your mods folder. Remove it too

[sick cave]

okay, i've deleted those

[errant hornet]

If I didn't miss anything, you shouldn't see Cant load errors now. I want to say lets try run game but I'm worried too XD

[sick cave]

oh gooosh if you're worried then im petrified!!!!! this stuff is all so scary hahahaha

lets give it a go

if it goes wrong it isn't the end of the world 💖

okay i'm going to load it up, see if it opens the save file, and either way i will close it and send another log for us to look at to see what has changed

[errant hornet]

Ookay

[sick cave]

okay so GOOD NEWS I can now open that game file and it loads all they way!!!!!
not so good news is that it's still really jittery

https://smapi.io/log/812624caac7348bba9c8b3a060e2f56d

so once again my issues are all with the NPC map locations - but even so i don't understand why that would affect the graphics of the game. the entire game (including registering my clicks and using the mouse) seems to be lagging, and i think that's no longer a mod problem but a me problem : (

[errant hornet]

Log seems mostly ok. There are 6 errors but theyre coming from NPC map locations and I've been hearing stuff about it needs an update about this

And if you want, download this https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1721

Nothing essential, just to fix few warnings

[sick cave]

alright i'm downloading that, shall i delete the NPC map or look for an unofficial update or something?

[errant hornet]

I don't think there's anything we can do about it. Removing it shouldn't end so bad I guess

And I just noticed you also had Entoarox Modding Utilities, also having it together with SVE can cause issues

[sick cave]

okay, i'll do the same I did for the other entoarox thing and remove the dependents

[chilly swallow]

boops

[errant hornet]

Hello! (Sorry for being late tho )

[chilly swallow]

hi 🙂 how goes it

[errant hornet]

Fine thanks! (Glad to not make someone's problem worse XD)

How about you?

[chilly swallow]

haha

I'm alright.. freaked out over a cp edit that messed up.. just to realize I'd repeated a word twice.. gotta love coding...

[errant hornet]

I'm a bit ignorant of a translator/mod person(I dont have any mods published)

But I like mods

[chilly swallow]

same.. I'm learning slowly

cool.. Raffadax has a new update

[errant hornet]

Oh, I'm so involved with translation and my little STF things to notice it I guess XD

[chilly swallow]

😄

translation? working on a mod?

[errant hornet]

Yeah but not so big just sth starter-level

Translation is Ridgeside tho

[chilly swallow]

it's still cool 😄

oh nice

[errant hornet]

I'm doing the playtests now!!! Aaand sure HUUGE bunch of bugs XD

[chilly swallow]

😄 it's a start!

[errant hornet]

[sick cave]

hello again

https://smapi.io/log/86bb5cf4f0a94ac58715f009d8bff96f

[chilly swallow]

oh my gawd

[sick cave]

i mean,,,, it loads! i can open the game, buuuuuuut

[chilly swallow]

clicks on the link in fear lol

[sick cave]

and it's still super stop-starty to the point that i can't play it because like,,,imagine going to skull cavern and not being able to do anything every other second fdjskl

[fluid crest]

For the animal husbandry mod, am I able to use names as identifiers when adding crops to the list of treats for animals?

I noticed that it only has id numbers normally

[scarlet panther]

33855 errors

how

[fluid crest]

Simple, one error that gets spammed infinitely

[chilly swallow]

first, looks like you need to delete the regular goose mod

you have 2 goose mods, and one requires husbandry. which you don't have

bfav will load its version if the other version is removed

[scarlet panther]

I know, but still. ;p

[sick cave]

I D O N ' T K N O W

i thought it was fixed 😢

[errant hornet]

Gulps

Sorries..

[sick cave]

on it

NO DON'T APOLOGISE you fixed so much of it for me like, dude, it acutally OPENS! that's a massive start and i appreciate you so much

[chilly swallow]

there is also something wrong with your sprite eggs, check and make sure you have the updated familiars.. smapi.io will tell you for sure

[sick cave]

just,,,,,,new problems jfskldjf

[errant hornet]

But smapi.io doesnt show content packs?

[chilly swallow]

no but if you read down at the ja errors, some of its issues are from not finding the right sprite sheets, and it tells you what the sheet is it's looking for

in this case, one of them is the familiars mod

[scarlet panther]

Am I reading this correctly, and you tried removing SVE?

[errant hornet]

I didn't try!

[scarlet panther]

@sick cave that is.

[errant hornet]

[scarlet panther]

I don't see the SVE mod folder, but all the content packs are there?

[sick cave]

okay regular goose is gone

umm i'll have a look

i've deleted and redownloaded and moved so much i'm super lost at this point lol. give me a min

[chilly swallow]

yeah if you tried to remove sve, it will mess up a already saved game btw.. but if you do want to remove it, make sure to delete everything pertaining to it

[errant hornet]

XD ok. Same of this happened to me when 1.5 came out first lol

[sick cave]

unless you're asking if that was my intention in which case it was not

[sick cave]

oh.

[scarlet panther]

^^

[sick cave]

have i,,,,really messed this up?

[scarlet panther]

Yes. :V

[chilly swallow]

ok.. I'm going to be honest with you here... if I were you.. I'd go through the mods, find the ones you want to keep, delete everything, and reinstall.. it'd be much easier

[scarlet panther]

But it's okay.

And ^^ again.

[chilly swallow]

by delete everything, I just mean the mods, not the game

[scarlet panther]

I was going to mention something similar.

[chilly swallow]

so basicly, if you like that mod, write it down, get your list, and then just redownload each one as its newest update

[errant hornet]

I'm still surprisezdffew 33000 erroszer

[chilly swallow]

you did what to who? lol

[errant hornet]

Who

[scarlet panther]

It's entirely possible that you've just made a hash of everything, and it'd be easier to just start from scratch.

[chilly swallow]

I couldn't read that sentence for a min lol

[scarlet panther]

Do we need to call an ambulance? Did you have a stroke while typing this? :D

[errant hornet]

No, I'm laughing but also.. uh, I don't know a word of this in English lol

Just, so many errorsrf and I caused thesdre 33865 errorsd!?!

[sick cave]

i've done that and i just really want all 170 of them fsjklfj

[sick cave]

OUCH

[scarlet panther]

:D

[sick cave]

ahhhh great i love restarting everything !

[sick cave]

NO YOU DIDN'T I DID

stop treating yourself like a silly dumb dumb while talking to the silliest dumbest dumb of them all @errant hornet 😠

[scarlet panther]

There comes a time in troubleshooting where you're sinking more time into fixing the problem than if you'd just rebuilt the thing.

[errant hornet]

I told you that having both SVE and EMU causes issues?

[sick cave]

sigh. so. delete all mods. reinstall only the ones that i want to keep.

do i also uninstall and reinstall sve while i;m at it or is that causing the problem?

[keen crow]

I'd move your mods folder somewhere else, just so that you know what you had 🙂

And do a fresh install of every mod you want to keep 🙂

[vast cove]

That’s what I did when I had to reinstall everything

Move the mod folder and make a new one I mean

[errant hornet]

I once had to do this but don't remember what i did 😛

[scarlet panther]

SVE is so damned touchy as a mod - I'd leave that for last.

[vast cove]

I keep all my mods organized in subfolders also

I love SVE but at what cost

[scarlet panther]

Yup.

[keen crow]

I built my mod list around SVE

[vast cove]

I do as well

And now the new challenging community center lets you do SVE + PPJA

[scarlet panther]

I've been lucky in that I haven't run into any truly weird incompatibilities.

[sick cave]

ah christ. so. leave sve for last as in delete/move it last and redownload it last? or delete it along with everything else and then install it last?

[vast cove]

Reinstall it last

[scarlet panther]

Delete it along with everything else.

And install last.

[sick cave]

okay

[keen crow]

Also remember when updating to do it like this, don't just replace the files with the new ones, as mod authors can change a lot and some loose, old files might become stuck in the folder 🙂

[errant hornet]

You're not dumb tho. You just applied my dumb instructions

[chilly swallow]

sorry I keep having to go afk lol

[scarlet panther]

Everyone is dumb. Problem solved. ^_^

[sick cave]

and your instructions fixed the main issue i was having in that moment! then i did some more sillies and got more problems; your advice still worked. so shush it. i will no longer be taking your self criticism. hugs. thank you.

[sick cave]

or that fixes it too lollll

[haughty fractal]

Did somebody know why the time skipper looks like this?

[untold cipher]

er.. what?

[haughty fractal]

[neat plaza]

1,5 broke it

no updates or unofficial yet
the buttons still work tho

and no alternative really

[untold cipher]

speaking about updates... npc location still not yet updated?

[neat plaza]

i believe no

[untold cipher]

groan...

[haughty fractal]

I've tried with numpad but it doesn't work uu

[untold cipher]

sve really update things too fast sometimes...

[neat plaza]

try holding somewhere along where days to skip was (like right under) and then press an invis button at the very right

[scarlet panther]

Weirdest thing - I have SVE and NPC Map Locations on my install, and everything's fine?

[haughty fractal]

I didin't get it:(

[neat plaza]

alr
i mean it technically works but is just broken lol

[haughty fractal]

I get that part

[haughty fractal]

But not tis

this*

[sick cave]

hey gang. back again. it's sending me back to the concernedape screen again

[keen crow]

Are you trying to load into your old saves?

[sick cave]

yeah

i also haven't redownloaded sve again yet

[keen crow]

Usually means you've removed an important mod that that save used to have

[sick cave]

https://smapi.io/log/73627bced7e843ecb7cfa4da87067d02

[sick cave]

likely sve then, right?

[keen crow]

More than likely

I'd test everything is working fine on a new testing save beforehand 🙂

[sick cave]

alright

[sick cave]

good idea

[untold cipher]

idk why, my npc location crashed was when I updated into a newer version of sve

[keen crow]

It's very odd with NPC right now, for some people it's working fine with SVE, for others it's red error all over the shop

[rare quest]

@sick cave You don't have Expanded Preconditions Utility installed.

[sick cave]

i swear i downloaded that!! sigh let me download it now then

[keen crow]

I swear the mod authors in this discord have like a fifth sense whenever their mods are mentioned

[untold cipher]

lol

[rare quest]

I check in every once in a while.

[untold cipher]

i try installing npc location and see how it goes

huh I just updated the skull cavern elevator and here comes another update

[sick cave]

okay i've now downloaded epu and i can open a new game, so now i'm going to download sve and see if that allows me to open old saves 🤞

big sigh... so it still won't let me download my old save

i have sve, the mods that i wanted to keep and all the required files for them...

[keen crow]

What are the other mods that you removed that that save used to have?

[sick cave]

https://smapi.io/log/b170ad7c908140979677758bda8616e8

i'm not sure because i uninstalled them

[keen crow]

Are they still in your bin?

[sick cave]

but nexus keeps a list of what i've downloaded - lemme check that!

[keen crow]

• Yandere Sebastian Dialogue Expansion because you have multiple copies of this mod installed. To fix this, delete these folders and reinstall the mod: Mods[CP] Possessive Sebastian Dialogue Expansion[CP] Yandere Sebastian Dialogue Expansion, Mods[CP] Yandere Sebastian Dialogue Expansion.

You have this mod installed three different times

[sick cave]

THREE????? wow

it's really not there... there's the CP folder (one) and the unzipped folder once as well. it's not in my recycle bin or anywhere else on my computer it seems...

[untold cipher]

.... ah... ouch

did you check those without CP indicator? maybe they are from another folder

[sick cave]

there's an extra one i've just found

i'll try to reload it again

i just don't understand how there are three

[unreal stratus]

that feel when no one will expand your preconditions

[keen crow]

I gave my coop area a pond... I've seen one duck in there for like a split second

[sick cave]

okay so that didn't work :/

[keen crow]

Also loving the configure mods menu inside my saves now

https://smapi.io/log/1beb16b038ec4f9ab35e8edbfb6727bb

i've spent six hours trying to fix this game so i can play it 😭 😭 😭

[real sage]

Having a wild bug here, i don't know if you can tell in the screenshot, but the rocks/branches/weeds are overlapping two different tilesheets, the one underneath is the edited one, and i have no idea where the one on top is at nor, like, how it's conceivably possible for that to even happen. smapi isn't throwing any errors so i can't figure it out

[keen crow]

Two mods are editing the same thing

[keen crow]

Have you down a reset lately?

[unreal stratus]

   at StardewModdingAPI.Mods.ErrorHandler.Patches.LoadErrorPatch.RemoveInvalidNpcs(IEnumerable`1 locations) in C:\source\_Stardew\SMAPI\src\SMAPI.Mods.ErrorHandler\Patches\LoadErrorPatch.cs:line 124

[sick cave]

haven't done one since i've completely restarted! but i have done...two today i think?

[real sage]

that's what i thought but i can't find a springobjects file in the terrain recolor and nothing else could be doing that i'm pretty sure

[sick cave]

i'll do another one yolo

[real sage]

did a file search and actually found it lmao

[scarlet panther]

Just to be clear - a new game starts clean, it's just your existing save that breaks?

[sick cave]

yeah

[scarlet panther]

Not to put too fine a point on it, but wouldn't you rather be playing than screwing around with your mods? ;p

(I don't think I've ever done a version upgrade without just starting a new game >_>)

[sick cave]

but then i'd lose all of my work 😦

[scarlet panther]

pfft

[untold cipher]

the only time I created a new file, was due to change in farm map

[scarlet panther]

Building newer, bigger, and better is part of the fun.

[real sage]

for anyone who uses lighting mods, is "Dynamic Night Time" or "Ambient Light" better?

[polar steppe]

Well, there's two types of people who game. Those that continue to play on an old save and do new things (since there's so much to do anyways when it comes to mods), or those that continuously play on new saves, most times things are different but never really a challenge when you already know what you're doing. Either method works, since video games are not always catered to one type of gamer.

[keen crow]

Stardew Valley modding is more forgiving than say... Skyrim, where a mod update sometimes means you have to start anew

[polar steppe]

Or trying mods on console games, where you can't really mod without custom firmware.

[keen crow]

I've never used the latter, but I do enjoy the look of the former in my game 🙂

[polar steppe]

Same, I never start new games unless it's because:

1. It's a game I never played. (Obviously)
2. My save was erased due to stupid.

[sick cave]

okay so i can open an old old save in the modded version (since about Jan) but my recent save (March) i've been working with refuses to open. it just sends me back to the main screen.

i really don't wanna start again, yalls...

[keen crow]

Did you remove any NPC mods? That's what I think the error Oba pointed to earlier means

[sick cave]

what do you mean by npc mods? is that just any mod that affects npcs?

[keen crow]

Adds custom NPCs

[sick cave]

sve

and museum expansion too

that required custom npc exclusions and custom npc fixes

[keen crow]

#archived-modded-support message

This is the error Oba pointed out

[sick cave]

i,,,really don't understand what it means

[unreal stratus]

Your save is most likely corrupted

[errant hornet]

So most stuff is lost, huh..?

[unreal stratus]

My guess is that you saved while having 'broken' locations

[sick cave]

that sounds about right ,,

[keen crow]

Did you check your backups? To see if you can load those?

[sick cave]

i don't know how

[errant hornet]

!saves

[native dragon]

Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.

[errant hornet]

🙂

[keen crow]

They're in the save-backups folder, in the Stardew Valley folder 🙂

Just follow the link Kedi posted 🙂

[errant hornet]

Wait no!! Dumb me

At the game folder there should be save-backups folder. Theyre in it

[keen crow]

Yeah, then you need to locate your saves folder, so the link was still right

[sick cave]

got them! what should i do with them though?

[errant hornet]

Ohh yeah 😄

[keen crow]

Locate your saves folder, following the instructions of the link Kedi posted, it'll tell you what to do 🙂

[sick cave]

okay, thank you

[errant hornet]

Is it fixed up now? DEAR SAVE PLEASE GET FİXED WE BURNT ROMA FOR YOU

[sick cave]

am i duplicating a save?? editing a save???undoing the last save??????????

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING

[errant hornet]

!saves @sick cave You remove the corrupted, old save. Find it using the link. Then go to Stardew Valley/save-backups folder and get the latest save zip/rar. Then extract the zip/rar. Which ever save you deleted first (like if it's Farm_246279185 you just should get the exact Farm_246279185 named folder from the extracted zip/rar) and put it to your saves folder.

[errant hornet]

[placid kraken]

anyone know if the tractor mod gives you foraging exp

[keen crow]

I imagine it should? Might need a mod that gives you exp updates to know for sure though

[scarlet panther]

Pretty sure it does, because that's the only way I actually did cleanup on my farm.

[zinc shadow]

Sorry for double-post but I posted this in the middle of the night when nobody was around so I hope it's okay I'm posting again.
I am having some stuck loading screens, can anybody help? When I try to load my save, I get stuck on black "loading..." screen. I have been able to load this world fine before now. I've been playing on co-op but the save won't load in singleplayer either.

log: https://smapi.io/log/072e50b985924d4396215866104ed632
I've tried restarting my computer, verifying files, reinstalling all the mods, reinstalling the whole game, and reverting to the "_old" backup saves but i have had no luck so far. I have had someone else open my save from their computer and it worked fine and similarly I am able to open some of my other worlds. If anybody has a suggestion pls lmk!

[errant hornet]

No ideas

[sick cave]

(hi everything's good just a tiny thing) I have this line in my error log "Artisan Valley Machine Goods 3.0.21 because it requires mods which aren't installed (paradigmnomad.morefood)." and loads of others say they can't load because artisan valley machine goods has failed. i've tried looking for paradigmnomad.morefood on nexus but i can't find anything that it could be referring to?

[errant hornet]

It's the mods Unique ID. You sure can't find anything directly searching it

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1670 That's itself of the mod.

[sick cave]

okay thank you!

[scarlet panther]

Are you maybe just being impatient? i.e. just wait longer for it to load?

I don't even see any errors in the log, and I'm running pretty much every mod you are other than IF2R.

[zinc shadow]

haha i mean ive let it sit for about 10 minutes. and when it was working a couple days ago it only took like 20 seconds max to load

yeah my girlfriend is using the same mods as me and hers works fine

[scarlet panther]

hm. Does SDV even do its own logging? I'd swear it does...

[gentle glen]

i have question

[errant hornet]

Then ask! 🙂

[zinc shadow]

beats me

[scarlet panther]

If it does, I'm not seeing it immediately.

But it looks like it's hanging right after setting up... SVE.

i have a question about stardew valley expanded, there's a spot with a rundown building right below the bus stop. How do you get inside the building?

[keen crow]

It's Grandpa's Shed

[junior fossil]

oh, so is it accessible?

[keen crow]

Yep! Here you go; https://stardew-valley-expanded.fandom.com/wiki/Grandpa's_Shed

[junior fossil]

thanks so much! i was having such a hard time trying to figure out what to do with it

[keen crow]

What's the issue?

[gentle glen]

it says failed parsing schedule for NCP Aday

[keen crow]

Where's that NPC from?

[gentle glen]

it not just andy it oliva victor

i have stardew valley expanded mod

i also got another error as well

[junior fossil]

oh i also have a question about the winter legendary fish. is it still at the same place with the stardew valley expanded? the map is changed a bit in that area

[rare quest]

Legendary fish are in the same spots.

[keen crow]

Are you sure you removed the old SVE before you updated it? I'm pretty sure this is a old error... I would delete all your SVE files and then redownload them

[gentle glen]

oakie will do that than

[junior fossil]

thanks!

[gentle glen]

@keen crow what is the whole folder so i don't miss anything from it i don't get the issue again

[keen crow]

Stardew Valley Expanded if you haven't moved everything from the folder itself, otherwise it will be, [CM] Stardew Valley Expanded, [CP] Stardew Valley Expanded, [FTM] Stardew Valley Expanded, [JA] Stardew Valley Expanded, [TMX] Stardew Valley Expanded and StardewValleyExpanded

[gentle glen]

i delete the whole folder

[keen crow]

Redownload SVE and move the folders outside of the Stardew Valley Expanded folder when you put them into the mods folder, see if that helps 🙂

[gentle glen]

i have download the new stuff for it

[neat plaza]

anyone know what the es orchard map's name is?

[gentle glen]

i have custom music and custom NPC Exc , Custom NPC Fixes Stardew Valley Expanded those are the folders i have that are new @keen crow

[keen crow]

Do you still get the same problem in game as you did earlier with this new copy of the mod?

[gentle glen]

i'm going to check right now

that fix the issue

[keen crow]

Good good

[gentle glen]

ty for your help that was weird cause when updated my mods i always check them make sure they and it was working the last time i played with no issues now i had few mods that upated it wanted it tail lol

[lucid dragon]

https://smapi.io/log/5a252736268647a88dd3386e28b62973

game crashes whenever i go to the area south of my farm

[neat plaza]

issue with adoptnskin about a brown cow skin

i think

[lucid dragon]

yes but how do i fix

[short bison]

It says 'specified path doesn't exist', are you sure your skins aren't in subfolders?

[lucid dragon]

yeah that was the issue

ty

[exotic raptor]

Does anyone know a updated version of ui info suit?

The one off of nexus is all buggy

[short bison]

I havn't had issues with mine personally, but I think it can bug out if you're too zoomed out on your UI or something

[snow wraith]

yeah, the button activation spots, scarecrow/sprinkler range overlay and petting indicators don't match up if you aren't 100% zoom

there's no fixed version for it yet afaik

[keen crow]

I thought the issue was if your zoom and ui wasn't exactly the same?

I don't play at 100% 🙂

[serene bolt]

i've heard about a mod that makes the npcs use they/them pronouns for the farmer, does anyone know what mod that is?

[snow wraith]

how would you change your menu/ui zoom, Red?

I don't remember seeing such an option

[oblique jay]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/722 I believe?

[serene bolt]

thanks so much!

[keen crow]

It's in the same option menu as the zoom button. Pretty sure it's just called UI? Might be wrong on the name but that's where it is

[snow wraith]

I may have just been blind. Wouldn't be the first time. lemme pop the game open

Ugh, so it is. Blind I am then.
Swear the load time for sve and its recommended mods have quadrupled somewhere in the last 4 or so months. Why it do this

Thanks red

[royal arrow]

yea a lot of framework mods went through big changes at the same time the 1.5 update dropped, so I think that might be a factor, similar to the OOMs getting worse at the same time

[serene bolt]

when i open stardew with mods, there's no sound. it works totally fine without mods but with mods there's no sound. does anyone know why that might happen?

[oblique barn]

Do you have no sounds even when you start Stardew with SMAPI without any additional mods added?

[errant hornet]

#vanilla-tech-support may be a better place to ask about this

[frank kelp]

if i downloaded mods and played with my friends would they need that mod too to see its effect and stuff?

[robust bison]

!mpmods

[oblique barn]

@restive falcon Yeah, that looks like data layers to me. https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1691 if you are not familar, should have the mod usage there as well

[lucid dragon]

has anybody ever seen literally all of their mods and smapi completely uninstall themselves

because i have

[proven pewter]

fear.png

[slow fiber]

Some one do me tldr SVE mod againt vanilla

Like how mucb playtime wouls it add

[proven pewter]

idk if it's playtime specifcally so much as like, just overall more stuff

more locations and npcs

more cutscenes

things like that

so really it depends on how much time you put into it

[scarlet panther]

Okay, so - I can't find this mod.
I know I used to have a mod somewhere that would pet all animals and grab all products when you pressed a hotkey. Anyone happen to remember what it was called?

hm. No, although that could certainly work.

It was more like I could hit "O" anywhere I was, and it'd grab all the truffles that were dropped and pet all the animals.

(no matter where I was, interestingly enough, but that's neither here nor there)

[clear acorn]

Might have been re-uploaded or somethin', but it definitely uses o as a keybind.

[scarlet panther]

Yeah, that definitely looks familiar.

Thanks.

[keen crow]

Oh that's a lot of errors. Might be worth asking in #making-mods-general if it's your own mod? Might be able to help out in there 🙂

[scarlet panther]

Ah-hah, that's why:
AnimalSitter 1.1.1-unofficial.4-pathoschild

Last time I got it/found it, it wasn't updated properly.

... of course, it appears it still isn't updated properly, now that I look at it. Off to https://smapi.io/mods !

So lazy that I edited the link so I could click it instead of typing it in my browser >_>

[clear acorn]

ah yeah, same deal here. I have this: AnimalSitter 1.1.1-unofficial.5-felipemorais92

[ivory violet]

@vital spade hey, i've been messing around with the aquarium overhaul's decorations, but...

[vital spade]

doesn't work with SVE, says so in the description

[ivory violet]

..................................................................................so having SVE is making the stuff overlay two sprites?

this is the weirdest thing i've seen in a while LOL

[lapis void]

yes, it is, the description explains it

[ivory violet]

i changed the configuration to work with SVE to see what would happen

but didn't expect this

[lapis void]

SVE patches the same spot on the tilesheet, hence why it is not compatible

[keen crow]

Am I missing where it says there in description? 😅

[vital spade]

The tilesheet that is being patched onto only have a limited amount of indices. So I chose to make as many decorations as I could and not opt in to make it SVE compatible

[ivory violet]

makes sense

[dire fractal]

Ah I think it was the Coli hat set pack :/

[lapis void]

makes sense yeah, that probably replaces all the hats

[keen crow]

All I could see about SVE was here? But it is like 11, so I might be running on blind tiredness again

[lapis void]

there should be a JA version of that

[lapis void]

ohh. different mod haha

aquarium decorations, not stardew aquarium

[ivory violet]

thanks for answering tho, i'm really interested in messing with the fish tanks

[keen crow]

Aaah gotta!

[dire fractal]

Yeah it was the coli hat mod

That's unfortunate I liked that mod

[lapis void]

JA version: https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/updating-mods-for-stardew-valley-1-4.156000/page-21#post-3353984

check the comments :P this adds the hats, rather than replacing existing ones

you can find them with CJB item spawner or customize anywhere

[dire fractal]

Uhhhhhhhhh sorry I'm a bit cracked I see it mention coli's hat pack but I don 't see the file

[lapis void]

the first file underneath the post

you'll need an account to download it

@keen crow now I know why my npc location got haywire... sve had its own installed... apparently.

going have to find a way to shut it off

[keen crow]

SVE handles it own npc location data now, since the NPC author changed how it works 🙂

[untold cipher]

yeah

i think I just going let it be since I don't have any issue now

[glass star]

everyone guess what

[keen crow]

Fixed your mod?

[glass star]

yes, and its going to be published today in nexus mods

[faint temple]

question are there mods that would make it so smapi redlines everytime i try and save? for the past few days it hasnt been allowing me to save and ive added no newer mods.

[keen crow]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[keen crow]

Sounds like a out of memory error

[faint temple]

still have 18 gb of memory on comp.

[keen crow]

Doesn't matter

Stardew Valley is hard locked into ~3gb on Windows

[untold cipher]

and that... is still in 32 bit

[keen crow]

Yep! Can try out the in very early development 64-bit version by looking in the pins in the #making-mods-general page

[faint temple]

heres the link to the last error report

its been fine up til 3 days ago..

https://smapi.io/log/acf3724a04ad45be8f1faa58819ad196

[fluid crest]

I'd like to say that only a few of the mods I use were incompatible with 64-bit sdv

[keen crow]

Are you using Vortex? Your mod folders look like a little funky, since one is missing a manifest and such 🙂

Yep! And Pathos and everyone have been very quickly fixing mods that don't work in 64

[untold cipher]

yeah, one of the cons... of using Vortex

[faint temple]

yes and ive double checked the mods i have ive even redownloaded and installed all for the ones it claims to be missing

[untold cipher]

that is why I have two sections of placing mods into the game

[faint temple]

i think it might be the isla mods but idk. ive given up trying to find the issue myself figured id ask here..

[royal arrow]

do you have the mods both Enabled and Deployed? The only bit I know about Vortex is that it's 2 steps

[faint temple]

yes i do. even redeploy each

[fluid crest]

Personally, I recommend installing mods manually

[faint temple]

time i start it.

[untold cipher]

i rather not install big mods manually honestly

[autumn bloom]

Big mods would be where the managers are most likely to fail.

[fluid crest]

You can even install the mods to a different folder and create a shortcut with a launch argument pointing it to the new folder so you can keep it separate

There's a command about mod profiles but I forget what it is

!profiles

[untold cipher]

well, the last time I had install a big one was Morrowind and it crashed until i gotten a mod manager

[native dragon]

Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.

Stardew is a bit different in that regard. For some reason the mangers don't play nice and it's easier to just manually install.

Oh that's a new one!

[glass star]

even though, ill need someone to take pictures

[scarlet panther]

The error is pretty clear, at least.

[keen crow]

squints Anyone got any ideas or do we have to plug in the Child of Yoba?

[untold cipher]

lol

[atomic bear]

Yeah, but the source is beyond me :/

[scarlet panther]

What causes it... I suggested antivirus scanning the file/process or something.

[keen crow]

Oh could be

[scarlet panther]

@atomic bear also mentioned that it wasn't happening 'til like, day 4?

[keen crow]

I know AntiVirus can bugger up the installation of SMAPI as well, might be worth checking out

[scarlet panther]

So it could be dumb luck as far as when it does the file scan.

[atomic bear]

Given that I've played hundreds of hours prior to this happening, why would it start? ::scratching my head::

[faint temple]

i had to turn my antivirus off during smapi install xD

[atomic bear]

This is the third time, the other two times I played a bit longer. Just now, though, I was only on Day 4.

[scarlet panther]

Antivirus update maybe. Windows updates maybe - and they're the same thing if you're using Defender. Kinda spitballing here (as usual :V)

[atomic bear]

Hey, I'll take spitballing. It beats me just turning off the PC, like I did last night. 😄

[scarlet panther]

That error is the bane of my existence though - I'm very familiar with it, although the cause is usually my fault. >_>

[untold cipher]

speaking about mods... i was wonder where all the weapons come form... >.<

[keen crow]

You have Norse mythology weapons? Neat... No idea. I'll take a quick Nexus look xD

[untold cipher]

cuz I swear i didn't install nightmare weapon mod

so where in the world did the item spawner had all those Norse Mythological weapons from

[oblique jay]

Fairly sure they come from this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8256

[keen crow]

That doesn't look like Nightmare's, but then again, I only did the CP of his weapons and tools, not the JA of his additional ones

[untold cipher]

lol

didn't know that he did INCLUDE weapons... in farming mod...

[scarlet panther]

Anyway, yeah - unless someone's got a better idea, turning off active protection and trying again would at least help eliminate antivirus as a cause.

[keen crow]

Looks like Peaceful might be right
