[winter wolf]

Ok

[naive drum]

as in, on your keyboard

[winter wolf]

Is that it?

[lapis sequoia]

H i

Can somebody

PLEASE

Tell me how to install SVE

Because I can't

I don't know why

[vagrant pier]

#archived-modded-support

go to that

[lapis sequoia]

I'm already here

[naive drum]

abra, this is using mods

i think you're the lost one

[vagrant pier]

nvm

yea lol

[lapis sequoia]

that was awkward

[vagrant pier]

im a little side tracked

[lapis sequoia]

But can somebody teach me

[naive drum]

edmont, yeah! if you want launching Stardew from Steam to launch with your mods, you'll need to copy that entire line with the game path, from the first " to the last %, and paste it into your launch options

saiko, do you have SMAPI installed?

[lapis sequoia]

Well

[naive drum]

is your game launching with the SMAPI console?

[lapis sequoia]

It's hard to explain

I use linux

And I know how to install mods

[naive drum]

SMAPI works on linux

[lapis sequoia]

But I can't specifically install SVE

[naive drum]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[lapis sequoia]

[naive drum]

Looks like either your download got corrupted, you used a mod manager that hecked it up massively, or someone has gone through and deleted the manifest.jsons from all the content pack parts.

[lapis sequoia]

I downloaded it from nexusmods

[naive drum]

Download SVE again, manually (i.e. without any mod managers), and install that new copy of SVE.

[lapis sequoia]

What do you mean

[naive drum]

Delete SVE off your computer. Go to nexusmods or moddrop. Go to SVE's page. click Download
if on nexus click "download manually"

[lapis sequoia]

I installed it manually before

Like, I did that first

[naive drum]

install that copy of SVE by unzipping it and dragging into the mods folder

then either your download got corrupted and you need to download it again, or someone has removed the manifest.json files from inside the content packs.

(and you need to download it again because your copy is missing some files)

[lapis sequoia]

Can you download it and give me the file from here? Because I already tried that and I think I'm annoying you so it might work

[naive drum]

you've already tried reinstalling it?

[lapis sequoia]

Yep

[naive drum]

from a fresh download?

can you post a screenshot of the inside of one of those content pack folders?

[lapis sequoia]

I'll have to download it again

[naive drum]

ok do that

[lapis sequoia]

ok

Wait maybe it would work if I download another version, like, in another language

[naive drum]

if your download got messed up and never included those files then reinstalling it from the corrupted download won't fix anything

[lapis sequoia]

Oof

[naive drum]

considering flash would be buried in bug reports if an entire version of SVE was messed up, the likely reasons for this are either a. something went wrong transferring the file from Nexus to your computer, or b. somehow those files are missing?

maybe your antivirus ate them? if you share a computer with someone maybe they deleted them?

[lapis sequoia]

Uhm

I don't have an antivirus because nobody makes linux viruses so it won't be that

[naive drum]

ah

[lapis sequoia]

And I don't share my computer

Ok, it's downloading

Are you still there?

[naive drum]

yeah

[lapis sequoia]

k

[naive drum]

the heck

[lapis sequoia]

It says there was an error while extracting beach-jellies.tbin

[naive drum]

it looks like it's saying you don't have permission? i.e. it wasn't done downloading or the zip needs to be moved somewhere like the desktop

and then extracted

[lapis sequoia]

uhm

Wait

Let me try extracting it from the terminal

using sudo

I forgot how to do it

[shy orbit]

just unzip "./-Stardew Valley Expanded--*" probably works, unless the first - messes it up

[lapis sequoia]

oh ok

It worked

[naive drum]

brb bird

[shy orbit]

after that i'd suggest doing chown YOUR_USERNAME -R -- * there

[lapis sequoia]

why

There aren't manifest.json

btw

[shy orbit]

and chmod +rw -R -- * also. because there have been some permission problems with my SVE zips after extracting

or rather the extracted files

[lapis sequoia]

alr

done

so how do I get those manifest.json

[shy orbit]

they likely already are where they should be if the unzipping worked

[lapis sequoia]

no

[naive drum]

???

[lapis sequoia]

w h e r e

WHeres the manifest.json

[shy orbit]

those folders don't need the manifest files, it was just smapi trying to find them there because it couldn't find them where they should've been

[lapis sequoia]

a

Ok

Thanks

I'll try the mod

If it doesn't work I will have no idea of what to do then

[vagrant pier]

10/10 the tractor mod is my favorite mod

[neat violet]

it's so fun to run through the mines on it, mowing down everything in your path

[vagrant pier]

lol i havent tried that

i just been using it for farming and landscaping

tho Haley is useful as a wife she occasionally waters all the crops

[dire fractal]

I only compiled it - Pathos converted it to 1.5 / 64-bit

I can take a look

[lavish rover]

Are there any mods that keep the buildings the same colour but change the shape?

[tribal notch]

friends, where are the smapi android instructions?

[dire fractal]

!androidsmapi

[native dragon]

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

[tough edge]

Does the NPC Adventures mod still work for the latest version of SDV/SMAPI?

[tribal notch]

a new adventure

now to find out how to ram it full of mods

[sudden patrol]

so, the childs bed are making my boyfriend's game to crash

if I take them out, we won't be able to have children?

also, is it a bug or it can be some mod

?

[tribal notch]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[sudden patrol]

ok, it's not the child's bed

i'm gonna ask for his log

[dire fractal]

Just pinging @tired brook for visibility. Geode Info Menu seems to be malfunctioning. I'm a little busy to look into the issue right for a few days.

[sudden patrol]

https://smapi.io/log/80788d0c7ad649cc9945bc56e5f0c495

So, here's the log

can someone help me?

[tribal notch]

I'm going to go ahead and blame Custom Furniture

[sudden patrol]

yeah, I've read the log and it seems to be it...

but mine isn't crashing, just his

[tribal notch]

do you have the same two packs loaded as him?

[sudden patrol]

yes

[tribal notch]

get him to remove them one at a time and/or remove Custom Furniture

see if you can narrow it down

[sudden patrol]

did you found the packs it wasn't loading or is it just the custom furniture crashing the whole thing?

[tribal notch]

I can't tell

someone posted a possible fix in here https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1254?tab=posts

check that both the CF content packs specify an author name

although your log has the author names in it, so I don't think that's your issue

[sudden patrol]

i've deleted two content pack things since i'm not actually using them

but then wtf is this

[vagrant pier]

damn 44 mods what you trtying to do lol

tho im loving the extra cellar rooms

[sudden patrol]

mostly cosmetics

[errant hornet]

Some of us have almost 300 mods XD

[vagrant pier]

god damn

[robust bison]

Some of us have almost 1000

[errant hornet]

^

[vagrant pier]

me looking for the reason why i would have 15 mods here

[tribal notch]

some of us have over 9000

[vagrant pier]

prove it lol

i dont beleve 9000

[sudden patrol]

ok so... but wtf are those messages

[vagrant pier]

bruh

how much freetime yall got

[tribal notch]

9001% proven

[vagrant pier]

not me making stardrop fruit wine

[pine ledge]

You can easily reach 150 mods with ones altering gameplay mechanics alone

[vagrant pier]

yall make feel stupid lmfao

[glossy quail]

@tribal notch how tfork does your pc not explode

[pine ledge]

lksfdjlk this is my current 'light' pack I have for grinding up a save in a 'vanilla' way. Most mods are intended to be removed to give barebones. https://smapi.io/log/69d0e52a0e3f4049b4a798e806280964

[naive drum]

Cerulean is joking

Notice the font change? that's a photoshopped screenshot

i also know someone wrote code that made SMAPI lie about how many mods it had loaded heh

[glossy quail]

@naive drum is there any way i can play mods without mobdrop?

[patent torrent]

a code that makes smapi list more mods than is actually there... sounds like the most useless thing ever XD

[glossy quail]

Bc mobdrop broke it

[naive drum]

it was for a prank

[neat plaza]

you can install them manually?

[naive drum]

jessie, you don't need any mod manager at all

[tribal notch]

tsk, that would have been a much funnier use of mod #9000 https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9000

[pine ledge]

Comic saaaaaaaaans

[glossy quail]

Oh

[royal fractal]

aaaa

[vagrant pier]

hmmmm maybe a farm truck should be a mod just a truck that is storage that you can move around

[pine ledge]

Could probably manage it with a combination of "Expanded Storage" and "Bigger Craftables", but then you're physically picking up and carrying around a truck.

[vagrant pier]

ngl i just wanted to steal lewis's truck from the beginning

[pine ledge]

klsfdlk

If you want moving storage though, "Horse Overhaul" has a saddlebag feature.

[vagrant pier]

ok

[pine ledge]

And then you could just... somehow manage to replace the horse with a truck klsdflk

[vagrant pier]

hey hey im not that intelegent

[pine ledge]

It's just a matter of replacing the horse sprites with sprites that make a small truck of the same size. Which will look like you're riding a toy, but...

[vagrant pier]

why dont you do that foggy

[pine ledge]

Because I'm not the best at pixel art and I already have my hands full with my current mod projects. I have three mods to update and two to continue developing.

[vagrant pier]

ok

[outer turret]

Someone made a mod that spammed the smapi console with red text and a prank once.

[naive drum]

Please Fix Error?

that one's pretty funny

makes it look like the base game itself is what's outputting those errors

also the comments section for it is so good

"For what purpose did you bring this evil into existence?"

a lot of people are just like "why" and then there's...that exact quote

[quiet umbra]

Wonder why no one has put a trunk on the tractor?

or suggested/asked nicely the mod author

[neat violet]

The tractor's kinda OP as it is XD

[quiet umbra]

well....

[tribal notch]

it needs another 36x999 item slots to hold ammo for the 540 RPM doom-slingshot

[quiet umbra]

must be a manufacturer oversight

I set up my new pen tablet with new software (CSP free trial) and had a head on meeting with a learning curve! It's hard for me to draw on my tablet while looking at my monitor

[open garnet]

Fellas what are some good mods to use after finishing stardew? i've 100% the full game and now i wanna play with mods

[quiet umbra]

WoW... congrats

[chrome cosmos]

[native dragon]

@open garnet 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.

[chrome cosmos]

https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Category:Recommendations and this link!

[neat plaza]

Shouldn't really, the winery might mess up something if you uninstall it, probably not tho-

[open garnet]

dankie

[dire fractal]

hello

does anyone know how to create a backup save of my world in case something goes wrong?

[open garnet]

automate mod.. h m m..

[chrome cosmos]

!saves should be somewhere in this link

[native dragon]

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

[chrome cosmos]

automate is amazing when you've gotten 100%

[open garnet]

time to make a cheese empire

[dire fractal]

done it thanks for the help!

[open garnet]

actually cheese or wine i have a stupid idea with this mod-

[chrome cosmos]

you can do both 👀

[neat plaza]

@chrome cosmos do you mind checking on a test save if a completed winery is uninstall safe?

[chrome cosmos]

sure! same file you sent yesterday or do you have a new one?

[neat plaza]

uuh think it's the same

[open garnet]

dumb idea for a mod if i could code but you go into the sewers and it's a 50/50 chance of encountering a rat you can barder certain food/forage items with to gain an expensive/rare item like gems or a prismatic shard

[chrome cosmos]

alright lemme dm you i have a few questions

[neat plaza]

kk

[zealous wing]

i downloaded mods and want to play do i just start the game on steam now?

[tribal notch]

[18:44:15 ERROR SMAPI] - Quest Framework 1.2.0 because it's no longer compatible. Please check for a new version at https://smapi.io/mods
Does this message account for, I'm using sdv 1.4?

[neat plaza]

if you setup launch path, correct

[zealous wing]

what

[neat plaza]

https://gyazo.com/6200104da46fa684371469ce7aad98d6

otherwise, set them up or launch the smapi exe

[zealous wing]

what do i have to do?

i still dont get it

[tribal notch]

which instructions did you follow and how far along did you get?

[neat plaza]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows#Steam

[zealous wing]

i installed all the mods but how do i play

[neat plaza]

launch the exe or do this ^^

[zealous wing]

what do i have to copy?

i am dumb

[neat plaza]

https://gyazo.com/d3c7522e29977ad409aecdac421ea9c9

so if your game is in the default location, it'd be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

[zealous wing]

where exactly can i see mine?

[neat plaza]

windows right?

https://gyazo.com/a1fbbc1ef090a97d5724fe2395119ac7

[chrome cosmos]

iirc quest framework isnt compatible with 1.4

[tribal notch]

QF 1.2.0 was released pre-1.5

[zealous wing]

yes

[tribal notch]

so I'm trying to figure whether that message applies to me, and if not how to work around it

[zealous wing]

yeah but where do i find he thing to copy?

[neat plaza]

go to your game folder

[chrome cosmos]

are you using 1.4 on PC or on an android? :o because if its on PC then im not sure tbh

but i do know its not compatible with mobile

[zealous wing]

ok i found it

wait no thats not the mods

thats the normal game

wait it is

huh

[neat plaza]

is there no pufferfish chicken thingy

[tribal notch]

1.4 on android
not compatible as in, it was never compatible or it became incompatible with 1.5?

[chrome cosmos]

im not too sure, but remember when fembecca asked about making it compatible? so it seems like it became incompatible with 1.5

[zealous wing]

it doesnt have the mods

why

[vernal crane]

What does this mean on sve

Player has seen Enchanted Grove Part 3 event, Nexus: Emerald, Parsnip, and Bouquet events, and have seen Marlon's Galaxy Sword event.

Its the nexus event thing

I don't know what does emerald, parsnip and bouquet mean

[zealous wing]

the mods are in the righ tfolder but my game doesnt staret with them

why isnt it working

[open garnet]

How do i install Json Assets? i have pc stardew but i didn't get it on steam, so i can't find the mods folder-

[tribal notch]

this is what I'm trying to get to the bottom of 🙂

[tribal notch]

where did you get it?

[open garnet]

unsure, my brother just put it on my pc from a usb awhile ago,

[tribal notch]

good news, it's 40% off right now, go get yourself a non-pirated copy

[open garnet]

sadness my brother a pirate, lem get that copy rq

[naive drum]

no idea where he got that copy from

[open garnet]

unsure either, i can go into my files and see if can find where it was launched from?

[naive drum]

crypdragon does the game start with a console-type window there as well?

[chrome cosmos]

id say ping fembecca and see if they've been playing since before the 1.5 update came out? :o that might clear somethings up

[tribal notch]

unfortunately they have no more clue than me as yet

[chrome cosmos]

ah that sucks :(

[open garnet]

yo i can afford the actual game, i'll yell at my brother later but is there a way to move my current save to the non snatched game?

[naive drum]

yep!

!saves

[native dragon]

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

[open garnet]

poggers dankie

[naive drum]

find where it put your save files and just move that folder to the appropiate location for your system

[open garnet]

thanks, but now that i know it's pirated that makes me worry on what other games he did that to-

[naive drum]

Does a console-type window open alongside the game?

[zealous wing]

the steam thing?

[naive drum]

more like this thing

[zealous wing]

no

[naive drum]

then your launch options aren't right - you probably forgot a " or a %

SMAPI actually gives people the full launch option setting in the installer, but sometimes people installing SMAPI for the first time miss it!

[zealous wing]

oh i forgot the "

[naive drum]

oh yeah that'd do it.

iirc when i installed SMAPI for the first time i missed one of the ending punctuations and was very confused

[open garnet]

welp i gotta wait 10 hours for stardew to download because my computer is actual hot garbage 😔

[zealous wing]

it still didnt open

[naive drum]

f

[zealous wing]

where exactly do i have to copy?

do i have to go to Mods and then copy?

[naive drum]

run the installer - you don't need to uninstall SMAPI, just install it again - and at the end when you get to the installation complete screen there is a "paste this into your launch options" in green and the entire launch option string you will need in green on a separate line

and you want to copy that entire line - it is the only thing on that line.

[zealous wing]

whats the installer and where is it?

[naive drum]

the SMAPI installer?

[zealous wing]

Nexus Mods?

[naive drum]

that you ran?

nexus mods or the SMAPI website?

[zealous wing]

i used Nexus Mods

[naive drum]

you need to have ran the installer to have the game load mods

nexus mods SMAPI installer and SMAPI.io SMAPI installer are the same installer btw

but yeah you need to have downloaded and ran that

[zealous wing]

ran what im dumb rn

[naive drum]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2400 this

[zealous wing]

yes i downloaded that and now?

[naive drum]

take it out of the zip file and run it

[zealous wing]

so i have to do manual download?

or go to files?

[naive drum]

iirc yeah, i don't know if vortex can run SMAPI

also generally vortex is not recommended for SMAPI

like, stardew mods. in general. it's generally best to use manual download and install them manually as installing them manually just consists of unzipping them and putting them in your mods folder.

[zealous wing]

okay so i delete everything and put it in manually?

[naive drum]

uhhh delete from where

screenshot

[zealous wing]

from mod folder

[naive drum]

no

probably not

[zealous wing]

but i downloaded with nexus

[naive drum]

unless you clicked the "download with vortex" button

[dire fractal]

when did 1.5 come out exactly?

to know which mods are updated

sorry for my ignorance

[naive drum]

but right now we're trying to make sure you have SMAPI installed and have valid launch options

[dire fractal]

end of last year.

[neat plaza]

22nd dec 2020

[dire fractal]

i look up but i see just "when will 1.5 release"

not actual releases adasd

oh ok

[dire fractal]

so a mod released on dec 21 is def updated cuz timezones and stuff and some modders got early access if im right?

[neat plaza]

wait whys there a vortex file

[neat plaza]

wait what
i thought it was 22nd lol

[dire fractal]

ooh okay thanks!!!

[naive drum]

cryp you don't need to delete anything from there yet we're still on a much earlier step

[zealous wing]

ok

[naive drum]

alex that mod i briefly saw works fine on 1.5

cryp just run the SMAPI installer.

[neat violet]

It's giving you a hint as to which warps you need to have opened up.

[zealous wing]

run wht

[dire fractal]

🤷‍♂️ I guess timezone differences, etc.

[naive drum]

...the. smapi installer. that you just downloaded.

it's a program. run it

[neat plaza]

maybe yeah

[naive drum]

the alternative method is to go up a level from your Mods folder (click Stardew Valley in that path at the top of that mods folder you screenshotted)

[zealous wing]

i just downloaded the thing on neexus and i have an zipped folder

[neat violet]

Oh, Wingheart, I have another interesting plant fact for you. So the dog rose (a type of wild rose) was apparently named in part because it was used to treat rabies a few centuries ago.

[dire fractal]

!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.

[naive drum]

presumably unsuccessfully given what rabies is like

[neat violet]

Yeah, they tried a lot of wild stuff back then.

(We still try a lot of wild stuff nowadays, but with slightly more success)

[zealous wing]

i know how to unzip

i have the folder now

what to run

[naive drum]

so there's one that says "install on mac" one for "install on wndows" and one for "install on linux" and it looks like you're on windows so run that one

then press 1 to install SMAPI

and then once it's done DO NOT CLOSE IT

you need to copy a line of text from there to put into your launch options

[zealous wing]

ok i copied the thing

[naive drum]

the whole thing? good!

[zealous wing]

ok i did

[naive drum]

go to steam, right click on Stardew Valley, and click Properties

[zealous wing]

yeah

i was at that part

[naive drum]

and replace whatever you have in the launch options box with that

[zealous wing]

i did

[naive drum]

ok then click Play!

[zealous wing]

ok smapi opened is that good

[naive drum]

yrp!

[zealous wing]

now?

ok it started

[naive drum]

SMAPI should tell you how many mods it's loading

[zealous wing]

YES

Finally

thank you so much

[naive drum]

you're welcome!

[open garnet]

should i just delete my save now, cus now playing it feels wrong after finding out it's not a valid copy

[naive drum]

nah it's fine

consider it a bonus free trial, like if you'd played a legit copy on someone else's computer for a bit

[zealous wing]

when i want to play without mods what do i do then?

[naive drum]

browse local files -> click the white chicken/StardewValley.exe

or
rename your mods folder

and then SMAPI can't see it

(rename it back to Mods when you want to play with mods)

either way you get stardew loading up with 0 mods

[zealous jungle]

I have a question guys. I'm new at intalling mods. Im on CHromebook and am just about to download the PC version. WHat do I need to know?

[neat plaza]

[dawn mantle]

does anyone know if any of the dialogue mods for seb change him choosing to dance with you at the flower fest? 👀

[dire fractal]

just installed my first 30 mods

well, less

after almost 60 hours into the game in a fully co op experience

it works fine so far

[outer turret]

You mean u want him to dance with u at lower hearts or not be so reluctant about it?

[zealous wing]

fishing 2 on day 3

[dawn mantle]

probably the latter, since his personality would fit better with that. I just want something where if you're married the dingus actually dances with me lol

[quiet umbra]

With the Multiple Floor mod, can I just copy a tmx file, rename it and use it as a floor?

(putting the new name in the config of course)

The mod provides you with 2 floor content packs, each of them having 2 floors... so right now I have a 5 floor farmhouse, but I don't care for the arrangement of 2 of the floors.

I'd like to just copy the first set, or one of them and use it instead of the 2 floor padk

pack*

but I know zip about manipulating tmx files really

[zealous wing]

is food that adds max energy for the rest of the game?

[glossy quail]

Nope

[brittle hull]

@snow prism your mod changed the ocean's ecosystem

[snow prism]

fish a fish and it'll be fine

the game wants your first fish be a sunfish

[outer turret]

He does dance with you though? Albeit reluctantly. Try searching Sebastian dance I know theres at least one that adds a post dance apology.

Do u think theres any significance on it being a sunfish?

[dire fractal]

there is no better sprinkler mod updated?

[solemn iron]

@final patrol The Artisan Valley functionality was initially a requirement, but made a stand alone thing for V2. The update last week corrected a few errors that had been reported. I also made a second version to make the desert vendor SVE compatible.

There is still a major update in the works...Eventually to come out someday.

[quiet umbra]

Looking forward to it greatly... I just love the mod

[brittle hull]

i mean, it's sunny during Luau so that makes sense...?

[snow prism]

oh is it luau?

yeah temp maps are wrong too

[brittle hull]

yup, that's why there is Wizard standing there randomly

oh, so it's a known bug? nothing to report then!

[snow prism]

no, its good you mentioned it, thanks 👍

makes me fix it faster :p

[dusky canyon]

Does anyone here have the most recent SVE, grandpa's farm and customize exterior?

[lean olive]

guys, i have a question. i'm trying to play with my gf (she's on mac, im on windows) with some mods (sve especially). because she is on mac we cannot play on the usual online mode (we both have the steam license) because of a bug with GOG's servers, so we tried with LAN mode. however, she also has some troubles joining me, especially this error : wapi_WSAIoctl: Need to translate 6 [Device not configured] into winsock error, which appears in that smapi console when starting the game. does anyone have any idea?

[shy orbit]

are there any other error messages before that?

[lean olive]

no, it's just that winsock error

[dire fractal]

Which Stardew valley expanded version do y'all have on mobile

Or which version for 1.4.5

[shy orbit]

this is just a guess, but if she hasn't installed mono from https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/ maybe try it (or even reinstalling it if she has before) @lean olive

[lean olive]

she already has reinstalled it for several times

could be any differences between vs channel and stable channel?

[vernal crane]

nevermind

i already got the area

[shy orbit]

i have no idea, but i guess trying won't hurt

[lean olive]

the winsock error looks like a connection problem to me, although i might be wrong

[shy orbit]

i found the same error as a result of wrong mono version somewhere, but it can be caused by many things it seems

[dire fractal]

Which Stardew valley expanded version do y'all have on mobile or 1.4.5

[vernal crane]

@shy orbit i think i saw you before somewhere

i cant remember

someone had the same pfp and it looks familliar

[granite swift]

can I have some mod recommendations?

[regal fox]

i never used any so what are best farm maps mods? the ones that make farm bigger, change design etc, i have seen some on #farms-and-outfits

[regal fox]

ui info suite is good and doesnt change game but its good qol mod

[sullen basin]

any good skirt mods for female farmers? <3

[chrome cosmos]

[native dragon]

@granite swift 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.

[granite swift]

ooooo thats a command?

thankss

[chrome cosmos]

yep:3 theres another link with recommendations that isnt a command, lemme grab it for you

[quiet umbra]

Yay! Success... You can indeed add as many or as few floors as you want to Multiple Floor Farmhouse by copying existing floors... of course you also have to alter the config file and the content file and the assets file... but that is all relatively easy. (other than the blasted content.json which will drive you nuts if you misplace a bracket)

[dire fractal]

Hey guys i am wondering if there's people who play om windows here, cuz i wanna ask if i can join people who play on steam ... idk

[chrome cosmos]

#multiplayer-lfg-old :)

[dire fractal]

No not looking for players .. m just askin if i can join someone who plays on steam when i dont use it ...?

I mean is it possible ? Or i should just look for non-steam-players

[chrome cosmos]

oh my bad, i misunderstood your message. what do you use instead of steam? GOG?

piracy and piracy discussion are against the rules. lucky for you, the game is on sale on steam! please dont pirate games made by indie game developers.

[dire fractal]

Okay thank you

[dusky canyon]

did you know that if you open the game a thousand times, it'll say so in the bottom left on the 1000th time?

I just saw it ;-; I'm just trying to fix my buildings

[chrome cosmos]

oh nooooo

customize exterior still not working? :(

[runic cobalt]

Good Morning

[dusky canyon]

goodmorning taiyo!

[dusky canyon]

I think it's a combination of mods I have that is causing it, since when I remove SVE & grandpa's farm, it works.

but for other people with SVE &grandpa's farm it still works with no problem

[chrome cosmos]

thats weird :( i was gonna tell you to try and see if something else is causing it then remembered the amount of mods you have

[tribal notch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4572 excellent

[dusky canyon]

yes.. ;-; I am down to 24 folders of the 40 folders

[regal fox]

looks good, i was searching for that, thank you

[tribal notch]

sounds like you could make it yourself!

now, are there any mods where your spouses get out of the house and do chores?

[zealous wing]

what are good texture packs?

[vital saddle]

I'm a little sad Mi stopped making mods I really loved that butterfly picture frame mod they did

[slow terrace]

https://smapi.io/log/4d3f9c90d13b4197b3dd99f0aa5e525b is anyone else having a problem with npc map locations?

[tribal notch]

nope, and what a strange problem

so it happens right after you load a save... on the farm or on the island?

[vestal gulch]

Question: considering what's going on with Nexus acting like the mods' rights are now theirs and all that (just read this https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14538), is there any other site where modders make their work available? Just in case Nexus ends up getting shunned for being idiots

[tribal notch]

these are the places that smapi can do update checks at https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Update_checks#Valid_sites

[vestal gulch]

Thank you!

[tribal notch]

I think it's good to have an eye out for other hosting services

the wisest remark in that thread was, making sure you have an iron grip on user content is what you do before you sell out to some media corporation

[slow terrace]

right after i load a save, i deleted npc map location and that fixed it

[tribal notch]

npc map locations clearly at the bottom of it, as you saw

but the pointy part of the problem is far far away

[tired brook]

Unfortunate I'll be working on the spacechase0 mods for a while (followed by the Bouhm mods), so I won't be able to look into it for a while.

[real light]

anyone know a good and not buggy save anywhere mod

[neat plaza]

like is it recommended?

yeah

[tribal notch]

which?

[lavish rover]

easier to understand now 😄

[neat plaza]

eh it's decent
bit big tho
don't use it myself tho

[topaz matrix]

any way to make custom animal eat custom item?

not yet
dont think its in favr either

The ones needing an unofficial patch.
But eh, if it works, it works.

[dire fractal]

What are some good new npc mods

[slim atlas]

I do. But it is important to keep in mind it's a BIG mod that changes a lot of things, and you need to make sure you're watching for compatibility on other mods (especially those that modify maps), so you'll want to watch for that.

(And if it's not compatible with SVE, make sure you read the whole description. There's a few modders that get pretty upset if you ask if something will be made compatible with it, but they generally make that pretty clear in their descriptions.)

[dire fractal]

It's not that modders get upset - SVE at least used to change very often and others had to keep up with all the changes and users aren't always the most understanding in asking for compatibility either

What are some good new npc mods

Besides sve

[brittle timber]

ridgeside has some good npcs

[dire fractal]

I already have it

It's good

[brittle timber]

I think you already have the best ones, then.

Looks like there is this, @dire fractal , but I have not tried it. https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6626

[dire fractal]

Oh yeah I'll get it

[brittle timber]

It says it's compatible with ridgeside and SVE

[slim atlas]

So far, I've liked Lunna, but haven't gotten very far with it because I was getting Memory errors (not from Lunna, I run 500+ mods, many of them expansions) and just recently set up 64-bit to get around that problem.

[brittle timber]

good to know

[dire fractal]

Wow

That's alot

My phone can run a hundred or so

[brittle timber]

I'm on PC, but haven't switched to 64 yet. The One Day At A Time mod has prevented any more memory issues so far.

[slim atlas]

It's honestly easy to run up the numbers on mods, since SMAPI counts certain folders. I think Downtown Zuzu alone counts as 9 or so. I have a decent number of mods that SMAPI counts as more than one.

[slim atlas]

One Day at a Time is a GREAT mod. Unfortunately, I'd actually hit the point where if I did more than 20 levels in the Skull Cave in a day, I was crashing before a save could complete. (Hence stepping away for a bit than finding 64-bit)

[dire fractal]

I can't do downtown zuzu cause I'm on mobile

[slim atlas]

Ah, that's fair. It looks like A LOT of mods can't be done on mobile since 1.5

[dusky canyon]

Can anyone help me with this?

I have been trying to get CustomizeExterior to work on my SV.

I have removed every mod except for SVE and its requirements, and it still doesn't work. When I remove SVE, it works.

I have not removed ConsoleCommands and ErrorHandler.

I have updated (and reinstalled with a fresh download) every required mod of SVE, including the mod itself. I have also tried a fresh install of CustomizeExterior. I have also tried to see if the buildings itself were the problem, but they are not.

Other users also have the updated versions of SVE and its requirements, and it works for them.
Running on 64-bit.
SMAPI Log with SVE (CustomizeExterior doesnt work):
https://smapi.io/log/24f29d2fb2184cb6bc2c65c96f410f9b

SMAPI Log without SVE (CustomizeExterior does work):
https://smapi.io/log/51ecfde5a3af4d9b819c5688181395a9

apologies for the big message ;-;

[tribal notch]

ok let's see what we can see

what is "doesn't work"... is it a crash? is it "nothing happens"?

[dusky canyon]

doesnt work: No window pops up when double right-clicking farmhouse
does work: A window pops up when double right-clicking farmhouse

and in that window are all the "houses.png" buildings I put in /CustomizeExterior/Buildings folder

[brittle timber]

@slim atlas Do you use a mod that lets you build from your farm? Because I'm testing 64 out and the one I was using does not work in 64, apparently.

Hm, unfortunately I'm getting really bad screen tearing, even following the suggestions in the 64 bit guide. 😦 Not sure this is going to be playable.

[slim atlas]

I'm not sure what you mean by "build from my farm", so can't tell you if I do or not.

[brittle timber]

A mod that lets you build buildings without having to go to talk to Robin.

But if I can't fix the screen tearing, it's a moot point anyway.

[royal tundra]

whee, gonna have to make a habit of checking Moddrop as well as Nexus regularly now, I guess

[neat plaza]

why?

[slim atlas]

I have to remember to do that. I really only go on Moddrop to update Immersive Shane

[tribal notch]

others have reported a few double-clicking problems with that mod

[brittle timber]

Hm, maybe my computer just isn't powerful enough for the 64 bit one. 16 GB of ram should be enough, though, right?

Or maybe it's a video card issue.

[main ingot]

vsync is on?

[main ingot]

i have 16 gigs of ram and 64 bit is just fine lol. its more than fine. the screen tearing is a vsync issue hehe

[brittle timber]

Yeah, vsync is one.

on

I've tried every combination of windowed, fullscreen, vsync, etc.

[main ingot]

hm

try this rudy

[slim atlas]

16 GB of RAM is what I'm running. Don't remember my video card (and am currently at work). I had screen tearing, don't remember what changes I made to fix it.

[main ingot]

ive never had screen tearing on 64 with my nvidia card so im not sure how to help 😭

[brittle timber]

Tried that already, but thanks @main ingot

Now trying an external program to force framerate to 60

[main ingot]

aw :( ok

[royal tundra]

Nexus is putting in a new thing that says you're not allowed to delete your mods, ever, even if the old version has a massive bug in it. Also other people get money for making mod packs, but the modders will still be the ones that get all the yelling when something breaks.

I don't think it will hit SDV as much, because SMAPI yells at you for having out of date mods, but there are going to be idiots who don't update their mods and get upset when they don't get new features and some days it really doesn't take much to make a modder quit entirely.

So for their own mental health I suspect quite a few modders will skip over to Moddrop

[tight glade]

for some reason when i run sdv api it runs mods but when i run normal sdv it also runs mods and idk how to play the game wihtout the mods i just got can someone pls help

[slim atlas]

I don't see that lasting very long on Nexus.

[neat plaza]

oh wait
mod packs = dp?
ok thats just- just- whats wrong with a notepad file and links

[slim atlas]

But I would definitely agree that it's a reason for folks to jump to Modrop.

[royal tundra]

I don't have issues with collectsion, per se. But I've seen the disaster that is people putting alpha or beta mods into Minecraft modpacks that get popular, and I can so easily see the same thing happening

[slim atlas]

Also, that's dumb as hell on Nexus's side of things anyway. They already regularly have issues with their servers. Forcing people to keep obsolete stuff on them isn't going to help with that.

[dusky canyon]

but the strange thing is, Customize Exterior worked before, around when I had 530 mods. After that I added more mods and when I had 680 it stopped working. But now even with only the required mods and SVE it doesn't anymore. ;-;

And SVE was in the included list of 530 mods already.

[royal tundra]

also we're gonna have some hell when it comes to "making mods work together", because THAT means Vortex will have to supply pre-filled config.json files

[light thorn]

Everybody uses Nexus, so I feel leaving it is not so much of an option.

[neat plaza]

doesnt smapi generate them?
i dont get why vortex would need to make them..

[tight glade]

can someone pls help out

[tribal notch]

I had a look and can't see anything in SVE that sticks out as likely to eat your double-clicks and not pass them on

[main ingot]

i just dont like moddrops ui so i dont use it 😩

[main ingot]

what exactly do you want to do?

[tight glade]

I want to run the game without mods

[main ingot]

do you want to play without mods?

[tight glade]

yep

[main ingot]

take the mods folder out of your game folder then

[neat plaza]

did you do launch options?

[tight glade]

yes

[royal tundra]

yeah, SMAPI generates them. But there is a 'default' setting when they're generated, that often has to be tweaked to make mods work together. So in order for them to work together, Vortex MUST supply the config files itself. And that opens up lots of bugs

[main ingot]

just throw it on the desktop or something and then play again lol

[neat plaza]

you change them back to normal

[neat plaza]

ahh good point

[dusky canyon]

I see ;-;. I asked around and other people with the updated required mods and SVE have CustomizeExterior and it does work for them.

[tight glade]

but if i want to play with the mods again do i just put the folder back?

[light thorn]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Can_I_have_different_mod_groups.3F
Do this, ideally. Otherwise, just cut the Mods folder somewhere else when you want to play vanilla.

[main ingot]

ge

[royal tundra]

easier solution: you know the folder where you put mods? Go up one. There will be a StardewValley.exe. Double clikc that. Base game, no mods 🙂

[tribal notch]

I can put it on my list of things to check out tomorrow... if I can make it happen to me I can do something about it

[dusky canyon]

Should I let Pathos know or does he already know this all?

[main ingot]

yes*

[main ingot]

also this, yes

[dusky canyon]

oh this was to me? xD

[main ingot]

no no

[dusky canyon]

oh ;-;

[tribal notch]

post a comment to the mod page with all the information you've given here

[main ingot]

that was to pk lol

[dusky canyon]

ok, will do that now. thank you for the help

[brittle timber]

Figured out the tearing issue, more or less. It wasn't a graphics issue at all. Rather, it was lag. I'd recently put in a mod that let you configure the machine completion time for casks, etc. By default the check time for the mod was set to 10 ticks! So six times a second it was checking all of my machines, which I have literally thousands of. Changed that to check every ten seconds instead, and no it's smooth.

[main ingot]

ayyy nice!

glad u got it fixed

[brittle timber]

yeah, me too. Thanks for the help.

Now to see if I can figure out alternatives for the two mods which seem to not be 64-compatible.

Placement Plus, which lets you replace floor tiles with other floor tiles (rather than having to pickaxe them up) doesn't work in 64, nor does Instant Build.

[main ingot]

if youre a coder u can consult with some of the fellas here about updating them

but if not, u can always throw a request into the coding void for an update

[near cedar]

Does anyone have any mod recs for retexturing the icons of things? Preferably making them cuter. Ty!

[brittle timber]

Looks like some blessed soul did a 64 update, just posted in the comments of placementplus, so that's one down!

@near cedar Like, of items?

[near cedar]

Yeah

[brittle timber]

hm, only item icon mod I use is the one that makes the different wines/jellies/etc appear different based on their input good. Don't know if you want that.

[main ingot]

go to nexus and just look for item retextures, sleepy

theres a bunch

im pretty sure u can do advanced search for just “item” category

[near cedar]

I have but they aren’t really the style I’m looking for

I found one a while back that made them really cute and soft but I can no longer find it 😦

https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/1303/images/thumbnails/2479/2479-1530833520-2112641767.png it was this one but it’s been removed

So if anyone has another other recs like it that would be great 🙂 tia

[brittle timber]

No recs, but a google brought this list which you may find useful https://littleshadylady.com/blog/stardew-mods/#villagers

[near cedar]

Ty!!

[brittle timber]

Exciting to get 64 bit up and running, though! Now I can load up Ridgeside without fear of memory crashes. Maybe east scarpe, too.

[old karma]

I tried going 64-bit but somehow I keep getting errors... I am stuck with the Ridgeside crashes for now

[brittle timber]

Only real downside so far is that it takes like three times as long to load the game.

[slim atlas]

Oh! What mod was that so I can get that in my brain ahead of time in case I have that issue too?

[brittle timber]

"Configure Machine Speed"

[slim atlas]

I'm running SVE, Ridgeside, East Scarpe, Walk to the Desert Redux, Garden Villages, Lunna Astray, Downtown Zuzu, and Grampleton Fields. With 16 GB of RAM, Ridgeside and East Scarpe should be EASY.

[runic cobalt]

Lunna Astray fish redesign :D

[brittle timber]

i just have to decide whether to wait until I start a new game. Might be more enjoyable to experience the new content when I don't already have millions of gold.

Thanks for the list, though @slim atlas , I wasn't aware of all of those

[deep totem]

Running SVE, RSV, ES here without 64. So far it's been working just fine

[brittle timber]

Fingers crossed it continues to work for you, @deep totem !

[slim atlas]

No problem. Downtown Zuzu is in an alpha and at least right now has some weirdnesses with Walk to the Desert redux, but they are aware of them and I'm guessing they'll be fixing them soon.

Garden Villages is honestly a bit underwhelming (IMO), but YMMV.

[keen crow]

Garden Village is going to be remade as well

[brittle timber]

grampleton fields has a weird incompatibility with contentpatcheranimations, or at least it throws an error when both are active

[shy orbit]

who is doing it?

[keen crow]

Oba and some others

[shy orbit]

oh okay

[deep totem]

Oba seems to be active in so many projects

[jagged mountain]

hey @tired brook, sorry to bother you again ^^' i downloaded the customize exterior mod and few buildings mods, dropped them in the buildings folder inside customize exterior after loading the game once. SMAPI doesn't show any errors and shows me all my exterior choices i odwnloaded in the log, but when i rightclick on a building in game i don't get any UI?

[keen crow]

He's collecting old mods and npcs like he's Pathos.2 xD

[brittle timber]

When you install these content mods with new NPCs, do you need friendship with them for Perfection?

[slim atlas]

There's an update for ContentPatcherAnimations coming. It's not up on Nexus, but you can find it here - https://github.com/pepoluan/SDVMods-space/releases

[brittle timber]

Thanks!

[slim atlas]

(All credit to pepoluan and Pathoschild, I just saved the link)

[tired brook]

@jagged mountain Does it work if you quickly right-click twice on the building?

[jagged mountain]

nope s:

[deep totem]

Depend on the mod. Some like lemurkat's will exclude them as long as u have custom npc exclusion installed

[jagged mountain]

it might be because i'm on 64-bit maybe?

[brittle timber]

Link is broken, @slim atlas

[deep totem]

On default, i imagine they would count

[keen crow]

Customise Exterior works for me on 64

[tired brook]

@jagged mountain Can you try it again, then upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log/ and post the link here?

[slim atlas]

So it is, I wonder if I edited something when I saved it. Let me see if I can figure it out.

[keen crow]

Pepoluan moves his mods

[slim atlas]

Oh.

[keen crow]

https://github.com/pepoluan/SDVMods-space-3/releases This one work? It's the latest link he sent out

[tired brook]

(I wonder what happened to SDVMods-space-1 and SDVMods-space-2?)

[brittle timber]

All the downloads are the same, oddly. You have to download all of the releases together.

In any case, I downloaded the code, but I'm not savvy enough to turn that into a working dll, so I'll just be patient.

[slim atlas]

If you click on the "assets" dropdown in the first post, it gives a list of individual files. That's how I updated a bunch the other night.

[brittle timber]

oh, nice!

Thanks!

And thanks, @keen crow for finding the right link

[jagged mountain]

https://smapi.io/log/0d7fa6e6eee9451da10571b1947f6e53

[brittle timber]

I'm not sure that's actually different than the one on nexus, though. They are both the same version number, anyway.

[slim atlas]

Until they hit official release, he's intentionally leaving the version numbers. Pathos is the one making the call when to update the version number and release on Nexus.

[brittle timber]

I see!

[slim atlas]

I can confirm I've downloaded and installed that version and CP-A no longer has the error from running Grampleton Fields.

[brittle timber]

Ok, well, trying it out now.

This is another new message to 64:

[SpaceCore] GetLoadEnumeratorMethods: Found 1 transpiler targets, expected 2

in yellow. everything seems to work fine, though.

Yup! No Grampleton fields error!

[lean olive]

asking once again, maybe someone has any idea regarding this - my gf couldn't join me through the LAN (she's on mac, we have some mods) and she get this error in that SMAPI console : wapi_WSAIoctl: Need to translate 6 [Device not configured] into winsock error. we both have the steam license, but we can't try the default online mode because of that bug that makes impossible for macOS users to play multiplayer

already reinstalled mono for several times (even trying vs channel and stable channel as well)

[tired brook]

@jagged mountain Looks like you tried the house and shed, but you don't have any textures added for those.

I assume Elle's Seasonal Buildings should have some. Can you post a screenshot of that full folder (with the address bar at the top visible)?

[tired brook]

@lean olive Does it work if you both temporarily launch Stardew Valley directly without SMAPI?

[lean olive]

it worked as far as i remember

at least we played vanilla for a bit

[tired brook]

@jagged mountain Oh, Customize Exterior doesn't work with Content Patcher packs. You need to have them in a specific directory structure like this: https://github.com/spacechase0/StardewValleyMods/tree/develop/CustomizeExterior#adding-textures.

[jagged mountain]

Oh oof

[tired brook]

@lean olive I think there's some known issues with macOS multiplayer currently: https://twitter.com/ConcernedApe/status/1404153563043962881? They're working on a fix for it.

[jagged mountain]

So i can paste just the pngs in there in new folders or i need xnb too?

[tired brook]

@jagged mountain Yep, PNGs are fine.

[lean olive]

yeah, i know about these issues, but they are basically related to online mode. that's why we are trying through the LAN, so we can temporary "fix" the issue. lan works great without smapi (so without mods)

[tired brook]

Are you both launching SMAPI through Steam (not directly from the folder, and not as a "non-Steam game" in Steam)?

[lean olive]

yup, just like we launched before, just the game inside the steam library

[tired brook]

Just to make sure, you tried installing Mono from the site and not using homebrew?

[lean olive]

yup, from the site

[tired brook]

I'm not very familiar with macOS unfortunately, so not sure what else could be causing it.

Just to make sure, can you both temporarily uninstall SMAPI, then try connecting via LAN the same way and see if it works?

[sweet wasp]

are there any mods (or any mods in development) to make the bathhouse and community centre used by other npc's once they're unlocked?

additionally, there used to be a mod i watched a youtube video of a long time ago about a town that's bigger than the village the vanilla game.. err.. plays in. but i can't remember which mod that was - it was in alpha.. or beta when i last saw it a few years back - anyone knows what mod this is? (i don't think it's SVE, but i could be wrong. haven't played SVE yet)

[neat plaza]

cc, community centre(might be center) reimagined

[slim atlas]

Could be SVE, could be Sundrop City (I think that's been in Alpha for a while anyway)

[rare quest]

if it was a youtube video, it was SVE.

[neat plaza]

was it more than like 2-3 years ago?

[deep totem]

Might be tego's?

[neat plaza]

could've been yeah

[sweet wasp]

yea it was about that long

tego's?

i will search for it, thank you ^^

so i got a new laptop and she does not want to run smapi... its downloaded properly and the mod folder is in my game files but when i try to download mods is says i have to download smapi

which i have

any advice?

[sweet wasp]

are you trying to run smapi through steam or through the StardewModdingAPI.exe?

[bleak atlas]

steam

[sweet wasp]

argh.. i wish my internet would stop breaking things lol - i can't confirm nor deny it's sundrop city, but the description seems familiar

[sweet wasp]

try the other executable

[sweet wasp]

i also meant to reply to this with the screenshot i just sent - discord dropped the reply thing for some reason

[dusky canyon]

#archived-modded-support message I have the same problem

[lapis void]

did you remember to change the launch options in steam?

[bleak atlas]

OH--that's nothing to worry about!

that's just saying "make sure you don't try to use this without SMAPI". it can't detect whether or not you have SMAPI installed

[lavish rover]

doesnt work, it says the xfb or something files

[bleak atlas]

OH MY GOD ok lol thank you so much

[lapis void]

that just pops up to minimize the amount of people who complain to mod authors about dependencies haha

so we can say "ok but you're missing x mod, the popup told you to get that"

it's probably a very old mod then. what mod is it?

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

the mod "Content" is meant to be the map layout

[lapis void]

you said earlier that you're not using SVE, but most of these mods require SVE in order to work

for json assets, you need Expanded Preconditions Utility

[lavish rover]

would that fix my map?

i was just checking my mods work before getting SVE

[lapis void]

you need to do something special to make npc map locations work for SVE, i don't use SVE so i don't really know about that

can you link the farm map you're trying to use?

Apologies in advance if this isn't the right place for this. I'm trying to play multiplayer with Extended with a friend of mine, and her game either crashes, or there's really long lags when changing screens. It works perfectly with vanilla, but we really wanna try Extended. I'm no expert with this kind of stuff, but I tried my best. Her Smapi gives her this:

But i had the texture problem before i installed that, it just didnt bother me but now i want my catcrows 😦

[astral marlin]

But, just in case

[lavish rover]

anyway to close the background console whilst playing?

just abit annoying

[rare quest]

Weird. That mod is not applying the texture changes. I'll look at the content.json

[rare quest]

I just realized the scarecrow is overlaying the cat scarecrow. Do you have any mods installed, to your knowledge, that's recoloring vanilla objects?

[jagged mountain]

Tilesheets that i need for certain mods, map recolour and industrial kitchen and interior

terracotta garden pots

decorated fish tank

[silk lichen]

ok....question...is there any way to keep the chickens baby sprite?

[rare quest]

I'd start with temporarily removing mods out of your directory to narrow down what's conflicting.

[lavish rover]

how do i get my proffesion level bars out into the corner?

[rain lava]

If the recolour is Vibrant Pastoral Recolour then it has config option to disable recolour of craftables

thanks flash!

[lavish rover]

also, why is this happeneing?

place your mouse where you want it...then press shift x together!

i really miss the baby chicken sprite...can i change it back by switching out the sprite?

is there anyway to close the command propt without my game crashing?

[hasty badger]

Hello guys.
Anyone could share his lights on my issues? No idea whats causing my farmhand to not be able to go south (forest), I get infinite loading screen when I do. The SVE error is non critical, I have it for some time now.

Hello, I am playing as farmhand in multiplayer.
Game crashed while loading to forest south of the farm.
Here is my log :
https://smapi.io/log/eda0a0a4776e478caeda46411f7fd3ad

SVE is updated to latest on both host and farmhand.
Host has no errors in his smapi logs.
The error

Thank you for your time 🙂

EDIT : I tested going east of the farm and it doenst crash. Dont know whats causing this.

[open garnet]

How do i put my save file onto stardew steam version?

nvm i got it!

[rare quest]

Hey. Can I give you my current SVE build via DM? It should fix this issue.

[hasty badger]

Sure, thanks for the help 😄

[rare quest]

I'll DM you in about 10 minutes. Need to upload on Media Fire.

[potent smelt]

Weird question, is there any UI mods or any way of knowing which mod a specific item/recipe comes from?
I grew chamomile and have no idea what I can do with it.

[oblique barn]

that 'command prompt' is the output for SMAPI, so when you close it, you're closing SMAPI, and therefore the game. So it's not so much crashing as just closing. You can minimize it, but cannot close it. It's good to have it around though, because it tells you when there's something going wrong with a mod that we can help with. 🙂

[hasty badger]

Thats really kind of you. I will wait no problem 😄

[open garnet]

How do i instal mods onto the steam version of stardew? i'm stupid and struggling

[oblique barn]

That would be useful, i don't know of one though... Usually what i end up doing is going to my mods folder and doing a search of the item name to see what comes up, and then finding out what mod folder that's in xD

[potent smelt]

Have you already installed SMPAI?

[open garnet]

yes!

[potent smelt]

Most mods after that are as simple as downloading the file, extracting it, and placing it into the mods folder

[open garnet]

how do i get to my mods folder?

[potent smelt]

Make sure to run Stardew through SMPAI at least once first, and read the instructions/dependencies for each mod

[oblique barn]

That said, Chamomile is part of Mizu's Flowers iirc. PPJA mods (and friends) do have a reference @ https://mouseypounds.github.io/ppja-ref/

[potent smelt]

Normally it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley

[lavish rover]

i just switched from standard, to immersive farm 2 remastered, and i do not show up in my farm, whilst i am in the farm, but when i leave i appear? i really wanna fix this as if i fix it all my mods are working

[rare quest]

Tracking is disabled on IF2R.

[open garnet]

i don't understand what you mean, where do i go to find the mods folder?

[potent smelt]

Ah lovely. I plan on being a tea farmer, full Iroh.

[lavish rover]

damn, how come?

[potent smelt]

If you follow that path, you will find the mods folder

[rare quest]

Map isn't drawn to scale, so any farm buildings placed are not accurately tracked.

[lavish rover]

damn

[open garnet]

i don't know where to go, i am confused

[lavish rover]

do you think itll nbe fixed eventually

im getting lost haha

[rare quest]

I'll play around with the tracking a bit more, but it may require Bouhm to add building toggle options.

[lavish rover]

woah did you make it? thats aweomse

i have a slight problem aswell

[rare quest]

If you're referring to NPC Map Locations, Bouhm is the developer of that mod.

[lavish rover]

i have a bit of a greenhouse over a river

how do i move that

[astral marlin]

For some reason, when I give the log page my txt file and save in order to get my url the page constantly loads and then it'll go to that "sorry" page where you have no internet or the internet is messing up. (I'm sorry I forgot the text but it is an error page for any website)

[rare quest]

Did you change your farm layout mid-save?

[brittle hull]

you changed the map file mid-save, didnt you?

now you need to restore the greenhouse first and then you can ask Robin to move it for you

[lavish rover]

uhhh maybe haha

[lavish rover]

oh thats not to bad, ill just play on the normal till i get it sortefd

[rare quest]

If you're only on day 3 year 1, I recommend restarting your save.

[lavish rover]

year two

[astral marlin]

I'll wait until it does that error again so I can show you the page

[rare quest]

You can use Reset Terrain Features to fix the debris or use No Clip to manually clear it out. The greenhouse can be moved if you talk to Robin (repair it first).

[lavish rover]

how do i use reset terrairn?

[rare quest]

Use the unofficial fix by Esca https://forums.stardewvalley.net/threads/unofficial-mod-updates.2096/page-64#post-43678

[lavish rover]

so what does it do exactly?

[rare quest]

You can reset debris, trees, and bushes in any map.

[lavish rover]

ahhh

does that include crop fields n stuff

[rare quest]

Although since you mentioned you're on year 2, you may not want that option. I recommend using No Clip and manually clearing and Rest Terrain Features for resetting the bushes.

[tired brook]

I'm not sure why SVE would affect Customize Exterior, I'll need to take a look. Can you create a zip of your entire Mods folder, upload it to a site like https://litterbox.catbox.moe/ (ideally with a 1-3 day expiry), and post the link here?

[lavish rover]

what are they? ovbs manually clearing is self explanatory, but what bout the other things

im so sorry for being clueless, i am new to mods and stardew

[rare quest]

Are you talking about the mods?

[lavish rover]

yes, no clip and rest terrain

yeah i need to fix this i have floating trees n stuff everywhere

[rare quest]

Use the link I shared to download Terrain Features. You can search for No Clip on Nexus mods to install it.

[lavish rover]

once i have downloaded both, what do i do

[rare quest]

Press f10 to activate No Clip mode. Press L to activate the Reset Terrain Features menu.

[astral marlin]

there we go

something's fishy

I can go to any other website but can't continue my request on the logger to get my url

[potent smelt]

@oblique barn Thanks for showing me that reference, most of the mods I have are here.

[pulsar locust]

Im not too sure where to post this but why can't i find any Content Patcher mods for cute character sprites

[lavish rover]

Thanks a lot for the help, I have to log off now but will try tommorow and get back to you, once again, thank you so much!! Hope you can figure the tracking out 😄

[fickle plaza]

i can't decide which mr. ginger portrait to use they're all so cute in their own ways. i need about a million more cat npcs to love and cherish

[lapis egret]

Hmm. Show me the file you're trying to use.

Also, did you remove any files from any folders?

Like did you remove any files from the SMAPI install zip

[dim iris]

im just gonna show u the steps i did

[lapis egret]

Ok

[dim iris]

so heres where i extracted it to

[shy orbit]

@dim irisi think the zip can't be extracted in the game folder, any other location should be fine

[lapis egret]

Try extracting it to downloads

Then running it there

[dim iris]

oh ok!

[lapis egret]

That's what I did, it worked fine. Idk if it's meant to be in the games files since that's where SMAPI gets installed ti

Yes

[dim iris]

so instal it fro there

[lapis egret]

Run it in there

[potent smelt]

So I'm looking at Mousey's PPJA&F Ref and and it says a specific recipe is held by Gus, but his selection seems a little short. I believe I can use the instruction's from Khadija's Recipe Shop to increase the amount of recipes shown, but I just wanted to ask if I could just give a large number like 1000 and be fine, or if that is too far over and the game will have issues.

[lapis egret]

If it doesn't work, redownload it and try again

[dim iris]

still wont work hmm

[lapis egret]

Redownload it

[dim iris]

im supposed to press install on windows rightr

[lapis egret]

Delete both of the ones you just downloaded then redownload it

Uhh- no

[lapis egret]

Go to internal

[dim iris]

that might be why its not working ashfha

window install right

[lapis egret]

Windows install

Yes

[dim iris]

omg that worked! thank u so much :D

[lapis egret]

You're welcome :)

Also, there's a read me there, probably shoulda done what it said lol

[shy orbit]

using the install on Windows script should be the correct way

[lapis egret]

I thought it was by running the windows-install.exe file?

[frigid compass]

I install it using install on Windows.bat

[lapis egret]

Idk, I didn't try

[shy orbit]

what should i do?

Is it not in settings??

If you're on steam you can just join through the friend menu

[timber shuttle]

can you still ocnnect to steam even when playing modded?

[errant bridge]

Yeah??

You're running stardew through steam haha

[timber shuttle]

sorry i am new to this lol

If you're on a mac I don't think multiplayer is working rn though

[timber shuttle]

i am noton mac

Do anyone have some knowledge on increasing the amount of recipes different venders hold? I'm wanting to be able to access the new recipes to Gus and Khadija without effecting the cart lady (if it even would)

[supple echo]

It looks like you have a ton of errors related to the Adopt & Skin mod. I'm not sure why it's saying "the specified path doesn't exist," but maybe try removing Adopt & Skin and see if that works? (If that fixes it and you really want the mod, maybe download and install a fresh copy.)

There are animals in front of Marnie's, which would explain why you get a crash when you go there specifically.

[dire fractal]

Ahh yeah that makes sense ty

[shy orbit]

@potent smelt as far as i can see Khadija's mod removes most modded recipes from vanilla shops with the "RemovePackRecipesFromVanilla": list in the shops.json of the STF part of the mod, deleting the specific mods from the list should bring them back to gus. not sure what's the best way to increase Khadija's selection

assuming they were originally sold at gus, which i think is the case with most of PPJA at least

[potent smelt]

Gus has a couple modded recipes, but I bet a specific mod just avoided it. I'll give this a try

Are you using the 1.5 patch for adopt n skin?

or did you just download it straight off of nexus

[dire fractal]

i got the updated version off the forums

[outer turret]

argh just played a ful lgame and my day crashed on save.

[slim atlas]

So frustrating!

[outer turret]

its probably because I added a mod that hadn't been updated for Esat Scarp's changed warp names

but I'd done so well with my fishing sighs And it didn't crash on load

gonna just try loading it again, then just go straight to bed I reckon

[dire fractal]

For this mod do i drag both folders into the mods folder?

[slim atlas]

More than likely, but what does it say in the ReadMe

[dire fractal]

nothing related to that, was just asking for overall

[slim atlas]

And upon further inspection, those do NOT need to be moved to the main MODS folder. I don't think you'll break anything if you do, but they can stay in the "DiscoveriesInTheDepths" folder (that's what I do with mine).

[dire fractal]

alright cause I mainly just drag the folders out

[stiff ferry]

hi everyone! I'm not super knowledge in mods & was trying to update a handful last night and completely ruined my game! I've been all over reddit trying to figure out how to fix what I've done wrong but I can't even begin to understand where I went wrong. Was hoping someone had the time to help me out?

hopefully I did that right

[dire fractal]

Yeah you did, Im not experienced enough to help though

[robust bison]

SVE isn't installed

it looks like you had it installed before, but it currently isn't

[stiff ferry]

oh wtf, is that all that seems to be my issue?

[robust bison]

yes

[stiff ferry]

okay I will give that a shot, thank you so much!

[snow wraith]

can't be removing mods that add anything like npcs or items to your game, no save that used them will work after

it's fine to remove stuff that just edits sprites or stuff like that though

[stiff ferry]

omg. How was i supposed to update my mods then?

[robust bison]

unzip the new one and overwrite/delete the old one

[stiff ferry]

I thought that's how I did it but I guess not, cause i turn on my stardew and expanded is gone

[robust bison]

you probably accidentally deleted the new one too

[stiff ferry]

most likely

[slim atlas]

Depends on the mod. Most of them (especially big ones like SVE), recommended is to delete the entire old folder than replace it with the new stuff. Overwriting files can leave files that are no longer necessary and will cause issues.

[robust bison]

yes, although the mod author will usually note if the mod needs to be deleted beforehand
