[runic cobalt]

Lol, seems hard to add compatibility

[outer turret]

yes, but in SVE, you cross Shearwater Bridge to enter it

[plain ridge]

love that bridge... so good for crabpots...

[outer turret]

and without SVE, I've replaced the Shearwater Bridge map with the Vineyard

[runic cobalt]

Cuz SVE touch in every single place

You can't scape

Just in East Scarpe

(lol, bad jokes)

[outer turret]

so obviously it's prime residential space thaat I couldnt use for anything unless it was specifically SVE incompatible

[plain ridge]

right, guess I wouldn't have seen those 2 npcs if u don't move em

[regal hearth]

I give up

[outer turret]

but since Juliet and Jessie already have a house, setting it to load elsewhere if SVE isn't installed is fine.

and if SVE is installed they'll still stay in the same place as before.

I also have a personal dislike of randomly scattered houses all over the place with exits off main maps

id rather they were all consolidated together

[plain ridge]

yeah like neighborhoods

[pulsar spear]

Hi, does anyone know if time speed mod is compatible with SVE?

[outer turret]

alas I designed Juliet and JEssie before I conceived East Scarp

[plain ridge]

kinda a pain to go to robin's just for 4 characters after I'm done with the mines

[outer turret]

East Scarp was designed to be a place people could add their custom NPCs. But after a year of only one person adding one, and another allowing me to move them, I'm probably going to end up populating it myself.

have three creators with families half done but neither seem inclined to finisih them.

[plain ridge]

it probably takes a lot of time to come up with story, and learn how to do itttttt

[outer turret]

it does indeed, and I guess real life gets in the way.

[plain ridge]

I was thinking of taking a stab at it maybe -- i wanna try to make an npc that's related to gus

[outer turret]

but it's hard to organize other people who are living, working, not getting paid to do it...

[plain ridge]

lol i guess

[outer turret]

And Nagito hasn't been updated properly for 1.5 and BEatrice's creator appears to be ghosting me...

[plain ridge]

👁️👄👁️ but your neighborhood was such a good idea... i don't want u to give up on it yet

it'd be cool if there were npcs written by different ppl

i thought that it was a brilliant idea

[outer turret]

Oh I"m not giving up o it! I'll populate it myself if I have to.

[plain ridge]

ohhh okay

[outer turret]

I"m just tired of nudging people who probably have RL going on.

[plain ridge]

rip... ghosting is so rude

[outer turret]

what's sad is seeing all these wonderful NPCs - even playing with some of them in my game - and not being able to share them with the community

[unreal stratus]

[outer turret]

SG had a lovely family they were working on

I've got Stirling (Hime's) to 8-hearts ....

[plain ridge]

how manhy npcs are incomplete?

[outer turret]

um... Hime is working on 3, ItsBenter on 3, SG on 3...

[plain ridge]

don't see why it wouldn't be -- only way to find out is to try it?

wow

these ppl were ambitious

I guess you'd have to work on them in sets if you want them to interact with other characters at all...

[outer turret]

Beatrice has open permissions, so I could adopt her, but I don't know what to do with her heart events

[errant bridge]

Has anyone had problems with crashing when sleeping into the next day? https://smapi.io/log/a8b9f272280c49688752b68ff97b2f79

[outer turret]

( she doesnt have any currently)

[plain ridge]

unromanceable //shot

oom eh

[outer turret]

out of memory error Wabi. Either switch to 64 bit or cut down your modload

[errant hornet]

!oom

[native dragon]

OutOfMemoryException errors on Windows mean that your game ran out of memory. The game only has access to a small part of your computer's memory by default. See this page for more info and common fixes: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#OutOfMemoryException_errors_.28Windows_only.29.

[outer turret]

oooh there's a bot for it now

[errant hornet]

Yep now thats a new command

[plain ridge]

curious now, do these npcs have portraits?

oh wait i see em in the #characters channel

[outer turret]

oh yes

SG's are pinned elsewhere since the Residents channel got out of hand so I had to rename it

[plain ridge]

so to make a character you need sprites, heart events, and what else?

[outer turret]

dialogue

[plain ridge]

ohright

[errant hornet]

Characters? Is there such a cgannel here?

[thorny salmon]

so is there a mod that lets you stack rings

[plain ridge]

no in the East Scarpe server

[outer turret]

actually bare bones you need: Portrait/Sprite/Dialogue/schedule

heart events are an optional. Lol. Some custom NPC chars don't have heart events at all.

(but they kinda make the char worth befriending though)

[plain ridge]

ok cool, i mean heart events can just be an update right

might take a stab at it this weekend then

i like to doodle here and there but idk how to do pixel art

[outer turret]

Beatrice doesn't have heart events. IF anyone has any ideas for some for her, let me know. I know the character relatively well, but she' s not mine and I feel a bit weird about writing storyline for her.

[plain ridge]

ooohhhhhh tell us about her

let's come up with some rn

[outer turret]

Airyn has also given me his character, Dao, with a very detailed event plan (some of which are too complicated for me to do) and full dialogue

so I"ll convert her across soon. HOpefully.

[plain ridge]

no portrait yet?

[outer turret]

Beatrice is the lighthouse keeper. SHe's older, inspired by the creator's grandmother. Speaks French occasionally. HAd a husband that died at sea, I think.

[plain ridge]

her name is Dao?

ohhhhh

[outer turret]

Airyn's char is Dao, and is female. She has portraits etc. Just hasn't written the heart events. Airyn does a lot of portrait stuff for DSVO and is very busy

so he's given me the go ahead to release her.

one of the reasons for moving JEssie's house is to put her closer to Dao so the two can be friends, since they have a fair amount in common.

(both are into herbs etc)

[plain ridge]

i see

[keen crow]

Stack Everything might do it?

[outer turret]

anyhow, this is Beatrice https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7042

[placid hamlet]

Does anyone know if we can add a button I virtual keyboard in mobile ?

[dire fractal]

erm can someone help me? im trying to download smapi but i dont know what im doing loool

[errant hornet]

[native dragon]

[errant hornet]

@dire fractal

[dire fractal]

ok thanks

[placid hamlet]

There is some tutorials in YouTube

Does anyone know if we can add a button In virtual keyboard in mobile ?

[plain ridge]

ok so you know how there's that lady on ginger island whose husband died at sea?

and he left a treasure or smthn

maybe beatrice, being a lighthouse keeper, saw it happen?

[outer turret]

maybe they were part of the same crew

[plain ridge]

oh like she used to work on the ship?

yeah

[quiet umbra]

pirates?

[plain ridge]

i don't remember if he was a pirate was he?

[quiet umbra]

not gonna lie, I thought so, but not sure

[plain ridge]

oh wait yeah that'd make sense

treasure

[alpine ginkgo]

Yo, this is actually a great idea.

[quiet umbra]

So Beatrice is an expirate

[outer turret]

I actually meant her husband and Birdy's husband.

[errant hornet]

He was (If you mean Birdiw's 's husband)

[plain ridge]

ok makes much more sense -- since she's alive 😂

[outer turret]

or maybe... maybe Raoul got caught up in it.

[quiet umbra]

well she could have been on shore for some reason

[outer turret]

(That's Beatrice's husband's name)

[plain ridge]

maybe she feels responsible

maybe she wasn't at the lighthouse when the ship crashed

[outer turret]

The ship sunk on Ginger Island

[plain ridge]

oh

[outer turret]

and I think BIrdie's husband wrote the journal scraps

[plain ridge]

oh YEAH lol it's right there

[outer turret]

(we also think he might be the Mariner)

[quiet umbra]

or the kighthouse keeper tried to save pople & was lost too, so Beatrice does it to make up for her past

[plain ridge]

ok maybe she doesn't know that 😤

[alpine ginkgo]

It would be cool to have a heart scene with Beatrice and Birdie once Ginger Island is unlocked. Maybe they recognize each other, going off of the idea that their husbands were on the same crew.

[plain ridge]

one of her heart events can be after you go to ginger island

and find out it wasn't nearby

[outer turret]

i just wishI knew if her creator had any ideas for her.

(they've not been active on NExus since March)

[plain ridge]

yeah pretty awkward if they ever come back

like "hey what i had ALL THESE PLANSSSSS"

[quiet umbra]

I always thought the Mariner was a takeoff on "The Ancient Mariner" epic poem

[outer turret]

ive made some adjustments to her schedule so she doesn't break anymore

and I"ll add the resort dialogue

[plain ridge]

can just release an "unofficial" version maybe?

in case they come back lol

[forest jackal]

Good god Harvey's thighs look so weird in his beach sprite(I'm working on a more up-to-date "No More Bowlegs")

[keen crow]

Look like drumsticks

[alpine ginkgo]

I was just about to say they looked like chicken legs. Lol.

[forest jackal]

The fact that they're bowlegged makes it worse

[plain ridge]

nightmare

[forest jackal]

It's weird too cuz his back sprites don't look like that

[plain ridge]

ok so if we combine our 2 ideas, maybe an early heart event involves Beatrice blaming herself for not working the lighthouse that night, and a later heart event (post-ginger island) involves Birdie telling Beatrice what really happened?

[alpine ginkgo]

Oooooh, I like that.

[outer turret]

maybe! If anyone wants to read through her dialogue and see what lore is in there and we can work with 🙂

i need to get Oliver and Lexi and Josephine done first

[plain ridge]

ok i get off work in like 1 hr 😭

[outer turret]

i start work in about 2

[plain ridge]

LMAO such opposite schedules

gl Lemur

[alpine ginkgo]

Beatrice is an NPC I've been interested in for a while but heard she was a tad out of date, I think I'll look at her dialogue at some point and see if I can brainstorm some ideas, because I'd love to get her updated with heart events and all that and have her fully immersed in my game.

[plain ridge]

alright it's all u then uwub

jk jk i'll take a look too 😅 I suck at writing though

[unreal stratus]

those are some thicc thighs

[outer turret]

the two reasons her schedule was broke was: a typo that had her going for an unreachable tile, and an end position that was blocked by bushes.

These resulted in her running around the map like a crazy person and getting stuck in the landscape.

both have been fixed in East Scarpe

(her permissions: You are allowed to use the assets in this file without permission or crediting me)

[plain ridge]

oh okay that works

[plain ridge]

what's left for these 3?

[chilly swallow]

peers in.. Lemur, I'm excited to see what you do :D

[plain ridge]

OhEY

ERIN is a GREAT writer

or, great at dialogue mods at least

👁️👄👁️ i will rope you into this

[neat violet]

Eriiiin

[vapid marsh]

Is there a method to get a list of all hotkeys from my installed mods?

[outer turret]

a bunch of heart events and more dialogue for Josephine

and probably Olvier too

anyone here a teenage boy?

[neat violet]

No, but there's a list of default ones here! https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Mod_Hotkeys

[outer turret]

(either current or has been in the not too distant past)

[plain ridge]

do u want help with any of those? got nothing to do this afternoon

[outer turret]

if anyone wants to help with dialogue for Oliver (teenage boy, into computer games, was sickly as a kid, but is fine now, will probably end up staying on to help Jacob with the vet stuff) or Josephine (Governor's wife, Oliver's mom, was an opera singer, gave it up to care for her sickly son, kinda lost herself in the process) please let me know

[chilly swallow]

ok, harvey squish done

[outer turret]

I have a story arc set for Oliver and a fairly basic one for Josephine

[chilly swallow]

Tiaaa huggs ❤️

[plain ridge]

you did a huge overhaul for Harvey's dialogue too??

[chilly swallow]

yeah lol

just 2 more bachelors to go

took a break from it to get my farm map done

[outer turret]

ill try and get Tristan released this weekend but he won't be partiulcarly widely used I don't think.

[plain ridge]

so many projects at once eh 😅

[chilly swallow]

I'm looking forward to Tristan, Lemur.. one of the reasons I'm postponing my lp lol

[plain ridge]

LOL

[chilly swallow]

haha I'm getting them done slowly.. then I'll be focusing on Bonsters

[outer turret]

Ip?

[chilly swallow]

long play

all this mod work I've been doing.. I've been doing it for a good long play save

[plain ridge]

bruh i thought you were saying Lets Play

[outer turret]

ah, he's def long play cos you need to play through Mr Ginger and Jas expansion first.

[plain ridge]

like you were a streamer

[outer turret]

(or its gonna get weird)

[chilly swallow]

haha no.. no streaming for me.. I'd have to do vtuber to feel comfy and well.. that's some software I can't afford lol

that works, I love mr ginger and jas

[outer turret]

I added in the final lines of dialogue today so that's finally done

[chilly swallow]

yaay

[outer turret]

haha, you might not love Tristan then. Or you might love him more. You'll see 🙂

[chilly swallow]

😄

gets excited

[neat violet]

yessssss come write Fern River NPCs with me

[plain ridge]

I guess I'm in the same boat as Erin now

should start preparing for a LP, since I think my boss has quit playing sdv

it's been like 2 weeks

[chilly swallow]

lmao! I'm still working on rooms.. I'm gonna make a few personalized items for each room

[outer turret]

This is basically a working copy. Only thing not done is seasonal sprites (I have the portraits, I"m just lazy). YOu need to have seen to unlock the opening event:
Shane's 8 heart, Jas's 10 heart, Mr Ginger's 10 heart and probably another one that I've forgotten.

[chilly swallow]

but if you need help, lemme know

ooh ty Lemur 😄

[neat violet]

You can stream without a webcam or vtuber setup 🙂

[chilly swallow]

I've thought about it.. I may try it, if my computer will stand it

[outer turret]

oh and have East Scarp installed

[chilly swallow]

check

lol

[outer turret]

makes more sense too if you've seen Aideen's 2 heart event before he moves into East Scarp

[chilly swallow]

pats east scarpe, it's staying in my saves

[outer turret]

(won't break anything if you see his first, but Aideen talks about looking for a flatmate and it'd be weird if she already had one)

btw, I'm starting to drop the 'e' now I"Ve realized it means 'shoe' it Italian...

[chilly swallow]

lmao!

side note.. idk which mod I picked up for my squish it is but.. this squish for Harvey has made him.. so much better

[alpine ginkgo]

Come visit the beautiful town of East Shoe... If you're in Italy, at least.

[chilly swallow]

lolol

east.. that's the right shoe... be careful, blink and you'll have left

.. ok I'll quit now lol

[plain ridge]

where's Oba with the jokes 😩

[chilly swallow]

right lol

[outer turret]

if anyone wants to make a shoe shop for East Scarpe. Lol.

[chilly swallow]

... that would awesome lol

[alpine ginkgo]

An old woman that lives in a shoe, mayhaps?

[chilly swallow]

afk a bit, time for the evening walk lol

[dire fractal]

hey, i want some mod reccomendations

anyone have any?

[alpine ginkgo]

[alpine ginkgo]

Recommendations from Modfather himself.

If none of those strike your fancy, multiple people have made recommendation lists over here: https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Category:Recommendations

[quiet umbra]

East Scarp(e) question... why is Jacob not marriageable? His portaits are super cute!

And he loves animals

[unreal stratus]

What happens to Eloise when you marry him?

[quiet umbra]

she beome part of the family?

[unreal stratus]

Did you ever think about that!?
Why are you leaving the poor girl alone to fend for herself!

Have you no heart ?

[quiet umbra]

Good grief... mixed families are the norm now

[unreal stratus]

Farmhouse is iffy to code

I found a work-around with adding a door though

[quiet umbra]

Well... they could have a bicoastal type relationship

[gleaming vault]

anyone able to help me wih my game crashing?

[alpine ginkgo]

[native dragon]

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

[gleaming vault]

https://smapi.io/log/9a6eda8bfd084a1d9eaf8f50d478033c

[dapper prairie]

Any functional alternatives to Save Anywhere?

[quiet umbra]

I wish

[alpine ginkgo]

!oom @gleaming vault The last two errors seem to be OOM errors, read these links to understand!

[native dragon]

@gleaming vault OutOfMemoryException errors on Windows mean that your game ran out of memory. The game only has access to a small part of your computer's memory by default. See this page for more info and common fixes: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#OutOfMemoryException_errors_.28Windows_only.29.

[quiet umbra]

I think the problem is that if you run mods, Save Anywhere doen't give time for them to save custom stuff

Save Anywhere would probly be ok with no or non-item type mods

[dapper prairie]

Oh. That must be why the game got stuck saving when I tried that mod out.

[dapper fox]

https://smapi.io/log/28c047b2bfed4eb58e844c1ae14a3cb2

[chilly swallow]

shares icecream

[alpine ginkgo]

Can I ask what the problem you're experiencing is? I don't see any actual errors?

[dapper fox]

im not sure, It kept freezing and going to a black screen. I'm playing with my friend and she posted hers right before mine and maybe we have to many mods?

[chilly swallow]

@unreal stratus @outer turret I just had a brainstorm. There needs to be a "theme" for east scarpe.. ready? "put your left foot in, put your left foot out, put your left foot in and shake it all about"

hides

[outer turret]

heh, to frustrate people. Also cos of Eloise.

(mostly cos of Eloise)

if it makes you feel better, I do have a rival heart story arc planned for a future update

[quiet umbra]

How about Jacob having a (non-Evil) Twin show up?

[outer turret]

haha I do have a brother story arc for him but none of you are gonna want to date his brother.

[chilly swallow]

haha I love that you had to specify non evil

[quiet umbra]

Well... so many soap operas.....

[outer turret]

haven't decided if I want to implement it or not, but there is an event hint in there

(not an evil twin, just a brother that I know no one likes)

[alpine ginkgo]

Oh, is your friend the one that just posted a log? Yeah, that person has an Out Of Memory Exception error, which can be solved by lowering your mod count or downloading 64-bit Stardew. https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Migrate_to_64-bit_on_Windows

[outer turret]

(also there's literally a text file in there with all the spoilers in it)

except Tristan. ALthough his content file is a massive spoiler so maybe don't read it? OR did too deep into the files.

[chilly swallow]

lol

makes mental notes

[outer turret]

(or do, and tell me if it puts you off playing him)

[chilly swallow]

haha

[outer turret]

I've extended quite a bit of lore into my own head canon

[chilly swallow]

I'll read some of him then, tell you what I think

just won't read all of it so I have some unexpecteds later on

if that makes sense

[outer turret]

well even looking will spoil the most major one.

[chilly swallow]

Harvey: Even though I care about others, I spend a lot of my time alone.$s#$e#I find the solitude necessary to take care of myself.", me: I feel you, I feel you

[unreal stratus]

For anyone playing with Ridgeside: got any feedback for us? We're working on the upcoming 1.2.8 update

[dusky canyon]

yes:

still amazing

[chilly swallow]

not I unfortunately.. still haven't gotten to start my play through yet.. but last one I was playing.. I loved the last update

[alpine ginkgo]

I haven't played Stardew for real in so long... But the times I have played with Ridgeside were great and I am still seriously considering making Ian my husband. Lol.

[unreal stratus]

[errant bridge]

((I'm trying to run 64-bit SDV but I'm only getting this screen when I put mods in and the wiki doesn't say what to do if this happens 👉 👈

[chilly swallow]

I just wait when mine does that

start it up, don't click on it till it's done, just do something else

it's a long load, and it'll freeze when you start the save as well

so start them, tab out, wait

[quiet umbra]

It's a pretty loooonnnnggg load

[errant bridge]

Lol, I'm probably being impatient then. Thanks

[chilly swallow]

yeah it really is

[quiet umbra]

I just wish it wasn't so blasted bright

[chilly swallow]

since you clicked on it, I'd close it and restart, then just don't touch it till you see the start screen

[glacial briar]

Not sure if feasible, but can you figure out a way to market Ridgeside so it doesn't feel overwhelming to us who are wary of expansions or remembering to explore a new place when we already have trouble making it to the beach on a given day?

[quiet umbra]

I don't mind watching the SMAPI do it's thing until game is ready

[chilly swallow]

huggs Calcite

[unreal stratus]

Can you elaborate on that?

[glacial briar]

Example: So, I love to fish right? And I love to collect things and go to irl aquariums. I keep installing Stardew Aquarium, but I never remember to visit.

so the idea of a whole town I'm going to neglect is not appealing.

[unreal stratus]

It's currently intentionally marketed as: "Whoa big new area with lots of people!"

[glacial briar]

I know XD

I'm suggesting you segment your marketing.

But, as I said, may not be feasible.

[unreal stratus]

We're working on this part though haha

[glacial briar]

Warps might make it better?

Just, a cheating-style magic portal next to the bus?

[quiet umbra]

I think the Aquarium is kinda off the beaten track. tho

[chilly swallow]

I absolutely love the lift up though.. please dn't remove the lift

[glacial briar]

Yeah, I'm never up by the train.

And I get no mail or quests reminding me either.

[unreal stratus]

Lots of people currently only use it to get Pika's OP food

[chilly swallow]

ridgeside sends me mail quests

[glacial briar]

Totems would also be nice?

[quiet umbra]

I would like more reminders

[unreal stratus]

But we're adding more shops to the village

[glacial briar]

If this stuff is already in-game, that would be what I would market. 👍

[unreal stratus]

And rebalancing it

But that's for 1.3.0 most likely

[glacial briar]

Alternately, if the idea is simply "You make a save where you just plan to ignore your Pelican Town stuff and do everything in Ridgeside," a la what I end up doing for a while on the island, marketing that would work too.

Basically "Playing a whole different Stardew Valley using the SDV engine"

[unreal stratus]

That's kind of where we're eventually going towards

Where you're at a point where you've seen all vanilla could offer

[glacial briar]

Of course, as soon as I was considering expansions 1.5 came out... XD

[unreal stratus]

And you're using automate to handle all your farming related stuff

[glacial briar]

And then I started modding so now I don't play at all....

Ah, I won't touch automate.

[unreal stratus]

We are using QF to it's full potential

[alpine ginkgo]

I personally love expansions because it just gives me more options. If I don't feel like hanging out in Pelican Town, I can spend time in Ridgeside. Plus, more NPCs is fun.

[unreal stratus]

And we are probably going to put the focus on events, quests and lore

But that's all brainstorming fodder for the big content update

[errant bridge]

(A small think I'd say about Ridgeside is that the characters don't draw me in very much, I haven't seen much dialogue that's made me want to build friendship with them, they mainly say hi or tell me to go away. I'm still interested but none of them have felt very comparable personality wise to the vanilla npc's

idk if that comes across as mean

[glacial briar]

Ah, that's a point too. I'm already picky about vanilla NPCs; new ones are such a roll of the dice.

[quiet umbra]

Maybe there could be s "Localized Multiple Spouses" no need to keep them all in one place...😆

[unreal stratus]

They're meant to be somewhat distanced at first

They open up after 2 hearts

[regal hearth]

can you guys help me I don’t know what files to move to the mods folder

[chilly swallow]

mountain people are like that, tbh

cold to the "newcomer" until you get to know them

Please do lol

[quiet umbra]

Did Lucikiel's son move to Ridgside?

[alpine ginkgo]

The most memorable thing I saw in Ridgeside was a quest from Kaehi that said if I completed it, he would spare me. I have never felt more threatened and amused by a fictional child. I still think about it.

[chilly swallow]

boop

[unreal stratus]

East Scarpe I thought?

[keen crow]

There you go Oba

[unreal stratus]

Did you download the zips?

[regal hearth]

I think so

the mods I downloaded are showing up as folders

[glacial briar]

Are you on a mac?

[regal hearth]

do I just move the whole folder over?

yeah i’m on a mac

[glacial briar]

We learned last night that macs can natively show zips as folders.

So our instructions were wrong.

Just move the folder 👍

[regal hearth]

oh okay

i’ll try that

[glacial briar]

If it doesn't work you'll know right away 😄

[regal hearth]

i’ve been trying to get this going for hours😅 I don’t really use my laptop much

I wanted to use mods I was playing on my switch for a long time

Hey does anyone knows if we can add a key in virtual keyboard ?

[quiet umbra]

Mods*

[plain ridge]

@unreal stratus is the hotel usable there? It'd be nice to go there without worrying about running home

[dire fractal]

What does this mean?

[quiet umbra]

great idea!

[unreal stratus]

In the 1.2.8 beta it is! Just to test though. Maybe we'll leave it in

[plain ridge]

Yeah I think it's the biggest reason I don't go

[unreal stratus]

You can sleep on the second floor in the empty room

[quiet umbra]

That would be great! Good way to get away from all those multiple spouses

[plain ridge]

Nice, already steps ahead 😂

[glacial briar]

Ewww, commitment! ::shies away::

[alpine ginkgo]

I feel this on an emotional level.

[unreal stratus]

It's very low intensity! Having 40+ members on the dev team makes sure there's always someone available!

[alpine ginkgo]

Me: I wanna help out with mods!
Also Me: Anxiety bad and I know I will get overwhelmed immediately.

[glacial briar]

Commitment to 40 people....

I have literally donated yearly contributions to a religous organization without becoming a member.

[plain ridge]

Ppl go to the beach to fish, and to the forest South of the farm to get wood etc, so if you can create a resource/activity that you can only do there that'd be cool

Like I'm not expecting to farm in ridgeside, but maybe there's a farmer's market on the weekend

[regal hearth]

that didn’t seem to work either

[quiet umbra]

what do the mods you have look like when you look inside their folders?

[keen crow]

It's a running joke in the Ridgeside discord that Oba collects mod authors like he's Ash Ketchum

[alpine ginkgo]

Gotta recruit them all!

[plain ridge]

OHHH like, in Rune factory 1 there was an old Ruin
Maybe you can create a Ruin with old SDV lore to discover, and the artifact drop rate is high

[regal hearth]

that’s what it looks like when i’ve opened the folder

@quiet umbra

[plain ridge]

Is this what's in the mod folder or what's inside the mod->better ranching folder?

[quiet umbra]

Well, it certainly looks like there is a workable mod there... the game doesn't recognize it?

[glacial briar]

Like I said, this happened last night. Macs are wierd in their handling of zips.

You gotta take that into account.

[keen crow]

Shows Better Ranching at the top

[alpine ginkgo]

RSV really is like the super group of mods, though. A bunch of mod makers coming together to create one huge expansion.

[glacial briar]

But I don't have a mac myself to have more details than that.

[regal hearth]

that’s the folder for the mod that’s inside the mod folder

[plain ridge]

Oh right lol

[keen crow]

So I presume it's the mod folder

[regal hearth]

if that makes sense

[keen crow]

You have your mods installed properly then it looks like... We need our mac users. They're like shinies

[glacial briar]

Hey @dire fractal , you available? We got a mac user in need. 🙂

[plain ridge]

I'm a Mac user ✋

[chilly swallow]

shinies

[regal hearth]

idk it was loading three mods now it won’t load them at all

[plain ridge]

ok so smapi is definitely running though right?

[regal hearth]

think so, it show at the top of the game tab and tells me how many mods are running

and it automatically had three when I first downloaded which it would show

but now it won’t run any

[plain ridge]

and you have mono installed right?

if smapi is running can you post your smapi log?

[regal hearth]

yeee pretty sure

[plain ridge]

.smapi

[snow prism]

and he does 90% of the work himself anyway

[plain ridge]

~smapi

!smapi

[native dragon]

SMAPI (https://smapi.io/) is the mod loader for Stardew Valley. It loads mods into the game, provides APIs for mods to use, intercepts errors, and backs up your save files automatically.

[plain ridge]

there we go LMFAO

[dire fractal]

Why is content patcher animations giving me an error when I have the latest update?

[regal hearth]

pfffffft

[snow prism]

!log can you post your log? 🙂

[native dragon]

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

[plain ridge]

wait i still messed up lewlkfjawfe yeah @regal hearth can you post your log with this

[regal hearth]

I shall try my best

i’m like a cavewoman

[glacial briar]

Strong and self-suffienct?

[quiet umbra]

knock it in the head with your club

[forest jackal]

Uploading my second mod rn

[quiet umbra]

yikes! u onna roll

[unreal stratus]

That's cause people are shy and aren't being vocal about their ambitions

[plain ridge]

like the chat's quiet?

[vestal valley]

hello can i use mods on switch lite?

[unreal stratus]

It's not quiet per se

People just aren't saying;
Hey y'all we should totally do this

[vestal valley]

im still a newbie to this game so just finding my way through the game;)

[keen crow]

Not on a switch, no, not without breaking your switch anyhow

[unreal stratus]

Or "I edited / added this. Can we talk feedback"

[plain ridge]

what are they saying oba?

[vestal valley]

oh ok

[unreal stratus]

They're saying I should go to bed

[plain ridge]

LOL

[keen crow]

It is almost 3am where you are 🤣

[plain ridge]

deadass....

[regal hearth]

@plain ridge I did it how do I send it

[plain ridge]

copy the link and paste it here

[quiet umbra]

oooo that emoji makes my migrane twitch

[regal hearth]

https://smapi.io/log/9de6425a225045cfa611e81c582b4a93

[unreal stratus]

I'm off to cry myself to sleep. See y'all tomorrow

[forest jackal]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8855/

[plain ridge]

wow literally 0 mods

[forest jackal]

Published my second mod

[plain ridge]

night oba

[regal hearth]

yh i’m new to this

[plain ridge]

btw what folders are in your mods folder?

[quiet umbra]

shortest one I ever saw

[plain ridge]

and do you have mono installed?

[dire fractal]

https://smapi.io/log/b5d5f83472504a26928e9276d7aa7980

[regal hearth]

how do I check

i’m sure I did

but it might have failed or something

[quiet umbra]

SMAPI appears to be cooperative, do you have the RIGHT mods folder?

it is in the place where SMAPI is looking?

[regal hearth]

I copy and pasted what you sent me and that folder came up so I think it’s the right one

[keen crow]

It's looking for mods here; /Users/chloeolpicton/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS/Mods

[regal hearth]

it was working with three mods

[plain ridge]

open Terminal and type in mono --version

[quiet umbra]

I don't suppose you could show us your folder tree?

[plain ridge]

also yeah, can you post a screenshot of what folders are in your mods folder? 😅

[regal hearth]

yeah ahah

don’t laugh at me they’re all boring ones

i’m just tryna figure it out

[quiet umbra]

no laughter on such topics.... it's all confusing at first

[regal hearth]

oh my god I nearly just sent the wrong photo

[dire fractal]

@tired brook https://smapi.io/log/b5d5f83472504a26928e9276d7aa7980

[plain ridge]

strange, all the right folders are there

okay yeah can you open Terminal and enter mono --version?

[quiet umbra]

what is the folder one up from that mods folder?

[regal hearth]

which folder

[plain ridge]

the folder that has Mods in it, what else is there?

[quiet umbra]

yes, what is that one?

what is it called?

[regal hearth]

i’m so confused

[plain ridge]

It's called MacOS

[alpine ginkgo]

All this time I never knew Scorcher actually made mods.

[quiet umbra]

is it MacOS?

[regal hearth]

I can’t see a MacOS

[quiet umbra]

I know it's supposed to be MacOS, but if SMAPI can't find it...

[tired brook]

@dire fractal It seems one of your Content Patcher content packs doesn't have a Changes field. First can you remove all your Content Patcher packs and make sure the error doesn't happen? Then add a few back at a time to find which specific content pack is doing it.

[keen crow]

They're asking is the Mods folder inside of the MacOS folder so if you're not seeing that... something's going wrong

[placid hamlet]

Hello does anyone knows if we can add a key in the virtual keyboard mod in android ?

[regal hearth]

oh that is the mods folder

[dire fractal]

@tired brook How do I find out what content packs use content patcher?

[regal hearth]

I opened that with the copy and paste someone just sent me

[plain ridge]

right okay

[forest jackal]

I tried but I almost always never got around to actually uploading them lol

[keen crow]

Typically have CP at the beginning of the folder name, but can look at their manifests and see the dependencies

[plain ridge]

okay check if you have Mono installed, by opening Terminal, and then entering mono --version

[tired brook]

@dire fractal Try removing all the folders under Mods that start with [CP] , and see if that fixes the error.

[dire fractal]

Thank you

There are two

Joja Cola Restock and Animated Food and Drinks.

[tired brook]

Yep, try removing those first and see if the error still happens. If it does, we can help find the other content packs.

[placid hamlet]

Hello does anyone knows if we can add a key in the virtual keyboard mod in android ?

[regal hearth]

that links me to the SMAPI installer right?

[plain ridge]

no this is a command you run on your computer to see if you installed Mono properly

you should have an app called Terminal

[regal hearth]

oh ahahha

[tired brook]

@placid hamlet Yep, you can add custom keys in Virtual Keyboard's config.json. I haven't done it myself though so not sure what the format is, but you can copy or replace one of the other keys.

[regal hearth]

i’m so sorry i’m so stupid

[placid hamlet]

O: thanks I will try

[dire fractal]

@tired brook Yep. It still comes up with the error.

[plain ridge]

you're not stupid, just new, so ask questions when you don't understand :v

comments like that won't help anyone

[regal hearth]

this is the friendliest server i’ve ever been on

[plain ridge]

did you run the command yet 👁️👄👁️

[regal hearth]

all my other discord servers are like ps4 games

yes yes

I was gonna cover my name but it’s basically my discord name anyway so

[tired brook]

@dire fractal What if you remove [PPJA] Fresh Meat too?

[plain ridge]

cool it's installed properly

[dire fractal]

Testing it now

[plain ridge]

🤷‍♂️ i'm all out of ideas @dire fractal pls help

[tribal notch]

in the same terminal window can you paste this and show the result?
ls '/Users/chloeolpicton/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS/Mods'

[dire fractal]

@tired brook Nah, still comes up with an error.

[plain ridge]

gonna need to add escape values there 😅

[tribal notch]

nah it's single quoted

[regal hearth]

you guys all sound so clever

[tired brook]

@dire fractal Try removing [PPJA] Artisan Valley too? (Sorry for the trial & error; I'll be maintaining Content Patcher Animations for the original author soon, but I'm still in the process of preparing the code so I can't create custom builds yet.)

[regal hearth]

I can tell you a million animal facts but I can’t even make a Microsoft document ahahaha

[plain ridge]

OH TRUE nvm

[regal hearth]

did nowt

[tribal notch]

nowt as in, the next line was Chloes-macbook-air... and nothing in between?

[regal hearth]

spot on

[tribal notch]

if so, your real mods folder is empty and you've put them somewhere else

[regal hearth]

WHAT

a fake mods folder how dare they

[tribal notch]

run this and a folder window should open
open '/Users/chloeolpicton/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS/Mods'

in there goes your mods

[regal hearth]

wait

what do I paste that into

[plain ridge]

Terminal

[tribal notch]

same terminal

[plain ridge]

nice job cerulean amazing detective work

[regal hearth]

gold star for you guys

[tribal notch]

in Terminal we trust

[regal hearth]

how do I add this folder to my desktop

[keen crow]

From what I'm gathering from this, whenever we're having mac troubles and no-one's around... summon Cerulean from the deep. What would you like your offers to be? 🤣

[tribal notch]

I would do this
open '/Users/chloeolpicton/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS'
then drag the Mods folder that you see there, into the sidebar just to the left where it says Downloads etc

[plain ridge]

You can go to the Mods folder and then use File->Add to Sidebar, to make it easier to access

yeah

[quiet umbra]

That was bascially why I was asking about the folder trees

[regal hearth]

it’s like

how do I find as a folder

[quiet umbra]

I thought that there must be another folder

[regal hearth]

I can’t explain

[plain ridge]

once you do what cerulean says, or what I said, it'll be in the Favourites section of your Finder window

[tribal notch]

fajita's way is better

[plain ridge]

and you can just click that to get there

[tribal notch]

have your Mods folder window open, and File > Add to Sidebar, it will be on the left

[keen crow]

I feel like my brain would fall out of my skull if I get a mac after all these years of windows

[plain ridge]

I KNOW WHAT U MEAN, I told my dad I didn't want a mac

[regal hearth]

I hate my mac but I also love it idk

[plain ridge]

he swiped this off the black market and was like "but it was such a great deal :("

[quiet umbra]

!!!

[plain ridge]

now I got no PCs and can't play anything lmao

[quiet umbra]

great deal beats all

[plain ridge]

exactly

[regal hearth]

I don’t have a favourites on my finder ahahhaa

oh no

[quiet umbra]

Kind of why I never switched over to Linux... I get so peeved at Microsoff but

[plain ridge]

Go to View, and see if you can Show Sidebar

[tribal notch]

can't trick us, I can see the sidebar in your last photo

[regal hearth]

OMG WHAT

[plain ridge]

CERUlean

[tribal notch]

the part that says "Creative Cloud Files" and whatnot

[regal hearth]

what do I click

[plain ridge]

cerulean was like

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/01/15/94/011594ecb0f6cab37da63bde80dcec71.gif

[regal hearth]

WHERE

[tribal notch]

here's mine

[regal hearth]

ohhhhh

[tribal notch]

with your Mods window open choose this

[glacial briar]

Excuse me, Joja does not sell Macs.

[regal hearth]

I GOT IT

[tribal notch]

et voilà

[quiet umbra]

JoMacs? The apple has got a bite out of it...

[regal hearth]

please work please work

YES

[glacial briar]

Someone going to write down whatever just happened here and slap it on the tutorial wiki?

[regal hearth]

yes

this needs to be noted

[glacial briar]

A Mac is something Pierre would be into.

[regal hearth]

because that was so hard for a poor little mac user like me

[plain ridge]

guess the getting started with mods wiki just needs a section on traversing your folders

[regal hearth]

I got this laptop for graphic design which I did for like 3 months in college

[quiet umbra]

Mac has always had the in on graphics

[tribal notch]

macos makes it brutal to get to the mods folder, they don't want users in ~/Library

[robust bison]

macos gives me a headache

[keen crow]

There was a fake mods folder hidden elsewhere that needed to be hunted down. It was a Pierre folder. Shoddy 🤣

[plain ridge]

WHY won't mac let me put the path in the top of the finder window / get the path from the finder window, it KILLS ME

[quiet umbra]

I remeber using them for such (also in college)

[plain ridge]

gotta go ALLL the way to Go to, or use the terminal

[glacial briar]

Seriously, anyone willinto to at least jot down a stub?

I'll mae the page if that's a stumbling block.

[plain ridge]

wondering if it should be a section on the existing Getting Started page, or it's own new page

[quiet umbra]

like... check which folder you are loading mods into?

[plain ridge]

cause there's the "Where's my Mods folder" section

[tribal notch]

View > Show path bar
also ⌥⌘C to copy a file as a pathname is lifechanging

[plain ridge]

bruh THANK YOU

[glacial briar]

I'm a fan of new pages so people just see the directions for the thing they're interested in, plus a link on the main page/category

[quiet umbra]

Though SMAPI does state that blurb re "mods go here" every time it starts up

[glacial briar]

I am VERY big on categories

[plain ridge]

oh wait the path is at the bottom? weird

[quiet umbra]

Categories are a Good Thing

I'm sure Martha Stewart would agree

[tribal notch]

does anywhere document how to get that folder open on macos though? for most users it'll be their first time opening a folder from a path

[plain ridge]

categories?

it's strange, because I had given instructions to use Go To to get there, but they ended up in the wrong folder

[glacial briar]

https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Category:Categories

[quiet umbra]

basic human brain at work

[glacial briar]

@tribal notch , can I ask you to write the page? just a stub? 🥺

[tribal notch]

that is super strange, go to folder would be my suggestion too

[plain ridge]

like this didn't work for them for some reason

oh I thought you meant there was a Categories thing on Finder that was useful lol

[quiet umbra]

hmmm well, I guess I truly am showing my age, since working with folders was a basic thing when I started using computers

[plain ridge]

folders are so much more intuitive on windows bruh and I miss microsoft paint

[quiet umbra]

point taken, though I'm not too keen on microsoft paint

[glacial briar]

::still uses paint::

[quiet umbra]

and I started using computers basically as word processors which heavily ties into folders

I use paint if all else fails

[sharp shale]

hi, im trying to get stardew valley expanded to work on my computer. I had it once before but deleted it and now when im trying to redownload it it seems not to be working? is there anything i can do to fix this. I have the mods and smapi

[plain ridge]

Did you drop and replace the mod, or delete and replace?

[sharp shale]

delete

[plain ridge]

(if you just overwrote it there might be issues)

hmmm

!log

[native dragon]

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

[sharp shale]

like completely its even out of my garbage

its not like letting me idk what im doing wrong it just opens the folder

wait no i got it @plain ridge

https://smapi.io/log/12f0a07a98184a2a8220002cdbce954a

[chilly swallow]

rewrites shane's marriage dialogue to make him more.. well, ya'll know

[quiet umbra]

more? (enquiring minds want to know)

[forest jackal]

More like a spouse?

[chilly swallow]

more.. yes, like a spouse

[alpine ginkgo]

Okay, so first off, you're using an outdated Content Patcher.

[chilly swallow]

and not a half drunk roommate

[quiet umbra]

hotter?

well of course a bit tipsy roomate might be fun

[sharp shale]

i just used the one suggested to me in nexus? is there something i should be

[chilly swallow]

yeah but they don't write him that way.. maby I'll add some of that though.....

[quiet umbra]

it says the format is wron on SVE

[alpine ginkgo]

How long ago did you download Content Patcher?

[sharp shale]

a couple days ago

[alpine ginkgo]

The format is wrong because it's referencing a format that's more recent than the installed version of CP.

[forest jackal]

I have some marriage dialogue for Shane you might be interested in, Erin
Though you're gonna have to edit it to use the correct pronouns and words for the vanilla gender for him lol

[chilly swallow]

ah please do share if you don't mind

I'm squishing his dialogues atm

[quiet umbra]

Wowsy!!

[sharp shale]

im redownloading it rn

[alpine ginkgo]

The current version should be 1.23.1. You're using 1.21.1.

[quiet umbra]

Smokin'

Shane

no tobacco

[chilly swallow]

I've never seen him smoke, maby I didn't pay attention

[alpine ginkgo]

You're also running an outdated SMAPI.

[chilly swallow]

his thing's beer

[quiet umbra]

not that kind of smoking

[torn estuary]

shane smokes?

[chilly swallow]

seb smokes though

oh haha

[quiet umbra]

Shane is definately wet

[alpine ginkgo]

The most recent version, 3.10.1, is here: https://smapi.io

[quiet umbra]

I think, anyway, never saw him as spouse material

[fringe pumice]

yandere dialogue mods xdd

[torn estuary]

no no u gotta clean shane up n then marry

[forest jackal]

@chilly swallow This also includes non-marriage dialogue
This is just dialogue from mods I found and edited to suit the new pronouns, names, and such lol

[quiet umbra]

oooo a makeover! so much work

[alpine ginkgo]

A lot of frameworks are out of date. Farm Type Manager, PyTK, Json Assets.

[chilly swallow]

my shane

[alpine ginkgo]

Did you run the installer?

It doesn't go in your mods folder.

[forest jackal]

To be clear, I use this as a replacement for Canon Friendly Dialogue Expansion's Shane.json @chilly swallow

[quiet umbra]

Wow! that is a cutie Shane

[alpine ginkgo]

You need to open the installer folder and run the installer itself.

[torn estuary]

ihavent played stardew in almost a month and im scared to see what needs to be updated ///

[plain ridge]

E R I N

[chilly swallow]

ooh haha.. I've done all the dialogues I can find

[torn estuary]

i think that shane is from naverr

they're always so nice

[chilly swallow]

yeah. I managed to get a copy of them..

lol yes Fajita

[plain ridge]

💀 if only this artist would do them all

[torn estuary]

bro that would be lit

[chilly swallow]

ikr

[fringe pumice]

is it tht from naver??

[torn estuary]

yep

[chilly swallow]

yeah.. it's only the bachelors and bachelorettes.. but.. had to

[fringe pumice]

ohhh ive only seen the bachelorettes ,

[torn estuary]

ive missed talking to you guys i gotta get back in the game really

[quiet umbra]

not so sure about him and his chicken tho...

[chilly swallow]

hugs Chi 🙂

[fringe pumice]

i like emily and maru in tht potrait mod

[chilly swallow]

yeah

[fringe pumice]

they look good

[plain ridge]

yeah

[torn estuary]

erin ily 🙂

[plain ridge]

girls with short hair 😩

[chilly swallow]

❤️ ❤️

[forest jackal]

Oh yeah, I also made a lite version of Unique Courtship Responses for my personal use that only requires Custom Fixed Dialogue

[torn estuary]

ill return to the game after i mod some more lmao

[fringe pumice]

emily with straight hair is pog

[torn estuary]

emily would look better if her colors were fixed i think

like shading wise

[plain ridge]

yeah i agree

[fringe pumice]

ye her hair is too blue

i used mods in my mobile xdd

[forest jackal]

Oh yeah that reminds me of an idea I had

[torn estuary]

tell us

[forest jackal]

I wanna make a mod that just makes Emily blonde

[torn estuary]

ohh?

so her n haley look alike?

[fringe pumice]

tht would be interesting

[forest jackal]

Yeah cuz we can assume blonde is her natural hair color

[quiet umbra]

I think I saw something like that

[fringe pumice]

her and Haley would be like a real siblings

[torn estuary]

my headcannon tho is that haley dies her hair like tammy from bobs burgers

[fringe pumice]

theres ginger sebastian

[torn estuary]

T_T

[quiet umbra]

well maybe they're half sisters

[fringe pumice]

what if haley and Emily switch personality lol

[forest jackal]

I also really wanna do a mod that makes it so Abigail dyes her hair accordingly to that one conversation you can have with her

[keen crow]

You run the installer, not place it into your mods folder. Also looks like you unzipped your mods into folders named after the zips. Don't do that either. Just extract here. SMAPI doesn't like the folder names with long numbers

[quiet umbra]

so... all the colors named?

[forest jackal]

There's a random convo you can have with Abby where she asks you if she should dye her hair, and your options are:
Pink
Black
Blonde
Keep it the same
Sadly idk if you can set mail flags or anything of the sort from those kinds of conversations

[torn estuary]

tht would be cool

[quiet umbra]

I mean, have it so that the question repeats & you can choose a dif color?

[torn estuary]

altho she doesnt like my answer when i tell her

[forest jackal]

The question isn't an event

That's the problem

[quiet umbra]

you can't make it one?

[forest jackal]

It's just one of her many dialogue entries

I could but it'd be weird to handle

[dire fractal]

I just woke up. Still need help?

Oh there we go, that solves my problem

[alpine ginkgo]

Scorcher's third mod is gonna be released soon, I presume? Lol.

[plain ridge]

For the screenshot you sent earlier, to add the folder to the sidebar:
when you took the screenshot you had to hold Cmd + Shift, which changed the button from "Add to Sidebar" to "Add to Dock"

which probably won't be a big deal but could confuse some ppl -- but idk how you'd get the screenshot otherwise

[forest jackal]

I'm gonna need to actually make the sprites and portraits lol

[glacial briar]

You could!

[glacial briar]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[torn estuary]

pls sorcher u got this

[dire fractal]

I'm back

[glacial briar]

You could even at a conversation topic so her mom and dad complain. XD

[dire fractal]

@tired brook Sorry had to get off for a bit. Back now. Error still shows up after deleting Artisan Valley.

[tribal notch]

good catch! ⇧⌘5 allows timed screenshots

[plain ridge]

GEEEEEEEEZ cerulean with the Mac Hacks

🤌

[tired brook]

@dire fractal Can you post your latest log?

[neat violet]

Hey Scorcher, saw your new mod 🙂

oh yeah I use that to take videos -- never looked into the other options

[alpine ginkgo]

Oh wait, you're using Grampleton Fields.

[tired brook]

What if you remove GrampletonFields?

[alpine ginkgo]

Isn't that not compatible with CPA?

[dire fractal]

Testing it now

yep

It was GrampletonFields

Now, what mods did I delete....lol

[alpine ginkgo]

Yeah, I remember hearing it wasn't compatible with Content Patcher Animations.

[dire fractal]

Oh

[alpine ginkgo]

Not sure why, though.

[chilly swallow]

yeah I don't get that one

at all lol

[plain ridge]

lmao i posted about that conflict a while ago too, but no solution yet

[chilly swallow]

alright.. I had my icecream.. back to the editing board for me

[plain ridge]

working on your humongous map?

[chilly swallow]

nah that's done.. I'm editing shane's marriage dialogue

[plain ridge]

ohh

right

[chilly swallow]

that farm map is def massive though

[alpine ginkgo]

Shane's marriage dialogue could use some good revamping.

I always disliked that he makes all this character development and then it falls flat after you're married.

[chilly swallow]

yeah.. I'm mashing a bunch of dialogues together and realized no one had really made Shane more.. like he should be after all that

exactly... that's what I'm doing now.. fixing that crap lol

[plain ridge]

oh yeah -- it's been said a bunch already but his ROOM

you'd think it'd be cleaner after all that 😭

[chilly swallow]

wasn't there a mod that cleans his room up?

[plain ridge]

sure, there probably is

but CA, whyyyy

[chilly swallow]

lol

[neat violet]

there is!

[chilly swallow]

i thought so

lets Shane decide to try gridball again

[dire fractal]

If I uninstall and reinstall all mods that are updated, can that clash with existing saves?

[chilly swallow]

shouldn't

[dire fractal]

nope, except maybe FTM that saves data in the mod folder 🤔 but not totally sure

Ah

Is there a list somewhere which states what mods saves data?

[tribal notch]

why don't you make a backup of your whole mods folder and then do whatever you're going to do

[dire fractal]

@tawny kindle can confirm for you. I haven't seen any other mod do it

But it won't do anything other than reset your forage at most

So mods don't actually make the game unplayable if removed then reinstalled in a save?

[neat violet]

Nope.

[dire fractal]

They just reset forage and weird programming technical jargon?

As far as I know, nope

Ah great.

[neat violet]

Game has no idea you removed it in the first place, as it's not checking the folder when it's off.

[plain ridge]

even if something happens, if you exit the game without saving the day, your save will be safe

[dire fractal]

But always good practice to make a backup like cerulean mentioned

Ah yep. I'll do that.

What are some good realistic mods?

That NPC Map one isn't realistic for me lol

[neat violet]

Realistic how?

[dire fractal]

Like Earthy realism

Is better ranching better than loved labels?

[neat violet]

As in a recolor, or game mechanics, I mean.

[dire fractal]

Anything

So long as it's realistic.

[neat violet]

PPJA for real-life crops? Canon Friendly Dialogue Expansion? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dire fractal]

Yep. Getting nearly all those PPJA mods lol.

I will check out the CFDE. 🙂

[neat violet]

Bonster also has a real-world crop pack.

[topaz sorrel]

i think better ranching already includes the labels as well so u could go for that

[neat violet]

Obamoose has a mod that spawns cats in town?

[topaz sorrel]

yesss, i love obamoose's kitty cats mods it rly adds to the game and it's realistic fasho

[scarlet quartz]

does anyone have any good mods that would go great with the expanded map

[chilly swallow]

kitties

[alpine ginkgo]

Hmmm, if you want even more places to go, Ridgeside Village and East Scarp are great! Both add new NPCs and areas to explore.

[chilly swallow]

.. sorry, shiny moments when I see chat lol

[dire fractal]

can some1 share cute horse retexture mods

[alpine ginkgo]

I love Elle's New Horses!

[scarlet quartz]

im using the Stardew Valley Expanded mod and im looking for mods that expand the items and stuff i can do

[topaz sorrel]

do u want it to be an actual horse still? because i use one that replaces the horse with a rabbit and im in love with it lol

[neat violet]

That rabbit one is so cute!

[topaz sorrel]

wait duh u said retex nvm im dum

[neat violet]

I also really like the Galarian Ponyta one.

[topaz sorrel]

my thought process was retexture = replacer lmfao

[alpine ginkgo]

I am simple... If it's Elle, it's probably my aesthetic.

[neat violet]

Want some crop packs? https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Recommendations:_Small_and_Medium_Crop_Packs_by_Tiakall

[chilly swallow]

rabbit? I missed a rabbit horse?

[topaz sorrel]

YES RABBIT HORSE ONE OF MY FAV MODS

[chilly swallow]

sighs and adds to adopt n skin

[topaz sorrel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8521

[dire fractal]

same

omg

[scarlet quartz]

what im looking from is like a gameplay changer like adding more animals or tools

[dire fractal]

sfosglmsg its so cute

[neat violet]

Right now new farm animals are largely going to be tagged BFAV (Better Farm Animal Variety). I have two if you like not-real animals lol

[chilly swallow]

someone wrote this for shane, seriously just made me snort... Hey, feel my shirt...#$b#It's made of husband material.$6#$e#Yeah, that would have worked a lot better if we weren't already married.$h

[scarlet quartz]

idc if they are fake animals like one that dont exist outside of the game like dragons what the best ones you know

[neat violet]

I made Bulbasaurs https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8560 and video game animals https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8662. Others I really like are BFAV Crows, Neo's Griffins, BFAV Frog Friends, and Prospurrity (BFAV Cats).

[chilly swallow]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5761

that's one of my faves

[scarlet quartz]

that would be a cool mod ill check it out

[topaz sorrel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6977?tab=description omg this should work with obamoose's kitty cats right?? since theyre just in costume

wandering cats in spooky costumes.... so perfect since im in fall rn

[scarlet quartz]

ill download they then test them if you want to join me just dm me i would like some friends to play with

[neat violet]

Yes, you can either apply it to your vanilla cat, or put the image in the folder of the cat you want to apply it to. I'm now running like six different cat skins, lol.

[chilly swallow]

adopt n skin is an amazing thing.. can't wait to see her cats show up in my game

[topaz sorrel]

omgg can i ask which other cat skins u are using i wanna see what else is there

[scarlet quartz]

i don't know how to use the cat skin mod i haven't used .rar file before can someone help

[neat violet]

If you don't have winrar or another program that can open .rar files, you can convert it online: https://cloudconvert.com/rar-to-zip

[dire fractal]

I’d recommend getting a tool to open it for future anyway

[alpine ginkgo]

I recommend 7zip, it's 100% free.

[dire fractal]

On windows, everyone recommends 7z

!unzip

[native dragon]

Files with the extension .zip, .rar, or .7z are archive files, which you can extract to get the actual files inside. For a .zip file, just right-click (or long-press on Android) it and choose the option like extract or uncompress. For .rar and .7z, you need to install third-party software first, like 7-zip https://7-zip.org on Windows, Keka https://keka.io on macOS, PeaZip https://peazip.github.io on Linux, or ZArchiver https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver on Android.

[dire fractal]

Finally got a chance to use the command

I made Pathos add this

[chilly swallow]

😄

[neat violet]

I'm using Carbuncle https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3009, Myau https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1969, Monchboi, this absolute unit https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3875 A Weird Cat (this one's Andy's lmao https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3291, two of Elle's https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3872 and Seasonal Eevee https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3822.

[chilly swallow]

Tia.....

[scarlet quartz]

thank you

[chilly swallow]

I didn't need moar....

[neat violet]

😄

[chilly swallow]

grumbles as I download

[scarlet quartz]

would any of want to play

[chilly swallow]

I have munchboi.. I love that dang cat

[neat violet]

He's the most perfect chonk.

[chilly swallow]

right

[topaz sorrel]

OMG THANK UU seasonal eevee looks so cute and i used to have munchboi! i never thought to use all at once thank u u just gave me a great idea

[topaz matrix]

who wants to mess around with my mushroom houses in tiled

[neat violet]

I love seasonal eevee, I've used it on both my mod playthroughs XD

[dire fractal]

Is the Canon-Friendly Dialogue Expansion main file just the one or do I need both?

[dull minnow]

Hello, is anyone here familiar with the StardewXNBHack? I have a problem i need help with ;w;

[neat violet]

Just the first one, the second is if you're running a gender-neutral mod.

[dire fractal]

Ah okay cheers

[topaz matrix]

did you put it in the stardew valley folder?

[dull minnow]

yes! i ran the program with no problem and got everything unpacked. The problem is I don't know where to put the unpacked content file so that my game will read custom png portraits

[topaz matrix]

oh you will have to make a mod for that

[dull minnow]

if i downloaded someone else's mod with their pngs?

[topaz matrix]

ask making mods @dull minnow

[neat violet]

The game isn't going to look at the unpacked content. To read custom png portraits you either need to make them into Content Patcher mods or run a mod like Portraiture.

[dull minnow]

thank you both ^-^

[neat violet]

I think Portraiture will run it as long as you put it in the correct character's folder and give it the right filename, but I'm not super familiar with it.

[chilly swallow]

Shane mentions money so much in his marriage dialogue mods that.. I've just decided he does the farmers accounting lol

[dire fractal]

If I redownload mods I've already got but forgot I downloaded them and replace the mod with the mod I had already installed, will that affect anything?

https://m.blog.naver.com/codnjsdl8235/222360281926

[neat violet]

If the folders are named the same it should prompt you whether to overwrite or skip the files.

[dire fractal]

omg these are adorable...

Ah sweet

And if I choose to overwrite?

[topaz sorrel]

I LOVE THE WHOLE AESTHETIC IN THE PHOTROS WTF

why does naver have the best mods im cryng

[neat violet]

Generally won't cause any problems, but could if the old version retains files the new version doesn't have.

[dire fractal]

Ah

[neat violet]

That's why people generally recommend deleting the folder and copying in the new one when updating a mod.

[dire fractal]

And last question, with Event Repeater should I download both main and optional files?

Ah

[neat violet]

You shouldn't need the optional, no.

[dire fractal]

Ah okay sweet thank you

[chilly swallow]

sneaks up and hugs the Tia

[dire fractal]

for real!! they are so creative and cute

https://blog.naver.com/codnjsdl8235/222281170305

[dire fractal]

Should I get the quest framework 1.4 beta?

Or is it too risky?

literally i just downloaded that

and the nine tailed fox

[outer turret]

I love the whole 'Shane makes dumb dad jokes and puns' concept.

[dire fractal]

[chilly swallow]

same!

[topaz sorrel]

im gonna dl it, but is it just an xnb mod? i'll learn how to make it into a content patcher if needed heheh

[chilly swallow]

and Faris, sthap, I keep downloading everything! lol

[dire fractal]

the horse/tractor mods are xnb only

unfortunately

[topaz sorrel]

dangg okay, if i have time this weekend i'll learn the whole converting xnb to content patcher thing

wait but can someone tell me, if it's for personal use, am i allowed to do that? or will i still need perms from the author?

[robust bison]

if it's personal then it's fine

[topaz sorrel]

sweet thank u!

[dire fractal]

https://sodamods.postype.com/post/9091076

here is another huge list of mods

[topaz sorrel]

pls

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5825?tab=description holy

[thorny salmon]

so Elliot turns into a rectangle when he sleeps at night. I'm using this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1676?tab=files
Sure enough the tilesheet has a big rectangle in it, presumably where his sleeping sprite is meant to be. Is there anything I can do so that it just uses the vanilla sprite when he's in bed at night?

[dire fractal]

https://blog.naver.com/sxdcdc/222226592183

omg.. ive been looking for this map

[alpine ginkgo]

That's an old mod. Sleeping sprites were added in 1.4, which was released in 2019. This mod was last updated in 2018.

[robust bison]

you can do some image editing to put his sleeping sprite on the new sheet

[thorny salmon]

yeah I might attempt to do so

just cuz like... i didn't marry a rectangle >_>

[chilly swallow]

https://blog.naver.com/codnjsdl8235/222035702004

[thorny salmon]

I think I'm going to just use the portraits from that mod and then try and use Elliot Refined for the sprites part since it's updated for 1.4

[torn estuary]

is town school compatible with 64 stardew yet or no? i saw it was updated recently?

and i need to figure out smh how to make a naverr acc

[neat violet]

You might've married a square, though 🥁

[chilly swallow]

snorts

[rare sinew]

if i change my mods folder name to *Mods, would that let me play vanilla

[gray frigate]

Wait, so there is one that does that? I need that mod.

[chilly swallow]

uh I'd tell you which mod that came from but.. I have all lines put into one mod, and am now making a more "married sounding" shane lol

[torn estuary]

ok up to date on all the hip new mods

[rare sinew]

i just remember i havent played sdv in a bit, and probably need to update my mods 😓

[gray frigate]

[rare sinew]
