gaunt gust

basically. some mods ask you to delete first before redownloading, but there should be something like that on the mod's page if that's the case

dull zenith
#

testing to launch, seems to be working. Easy fix hah. Thanks πŸ™‚

hybrid kiln
#

There was a step that I was missing, wrong folders, there was more than 1 so i had to fix that

dull zenith
#

Ohhh ghos, i have not played for a long time haha

gaunt gust
#

lots of red?

#

or "go install net 5.0?"

#

!compat for new versions of mods. You will need unofficial versions of some mdos if you were using them

native dragonBOT
#

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

gaunt gust
#

pytk is the most common, iirc

dire fractal

#

UI Info Suite 2 does that alrady

dire fractal
#

modest cedar
#

dire fractal

hexed lake

neat plaza
native dragonBOT
dull zenith
#

Stardew expanded! I love that one

hexed lake
#

i want to make the game as easy as possible

neat plaza
#

devout pumiceBOT
hexed lake
#

since i’m playing vanilla on switch

dire fractal
#

hexed lake
#

i bought it on steam just to play in class 😳

gaunt gust
dire fractal
#

no its in moddrop on uninstalled but thats it i have searched my mod folder n even deleted the zip file from my pc im gonna try n create loadout n just put each mod in it

gaunt gust
#

yeah, search for a folder in your mods folder

#

this is why we don't recommend mod managers

azure sigil
#

help, it says it cant access the folder stardew valley is in 😭

gaunt gust
#

are you gamepass?

lament prairie
#

Are you on gamepass?

azure sigil
#

yeah-

gaunt gust
#

uh, can you find and click the Enable Mods option in Gamepass somewhere?

azure sigil
#

sure!

gaunt gust
dull zenith
#

Thanks for the help people πŸ™‚

azure sigil
#

o h

#

thanks for the help lol-

#

im illegally blind sometimes LOL

gaunt gust
#

can you screenshot the option?

#

I don't have GamePass and we're trying to write an actual guide for this

azure sigil
#

ok!

neat plaza
#

hmm
is sdv only on game pass for pc or game pass in general

azure sigil
#

idk

#

im on pc rn so-

neat plaza
#

i'd assume it's all since they have the game list i think

#

mostly

azure sigil
#

imagine it says enable mods, hehe

gaunt gust
#

Thank you!

azure sigil
#

yw!

#

helping is one of my specialities!

#

ok, another question lol

#

how eaxctly do you access the command console?

gaunt gust
#

the smapi console or the windows console?

#

if you're running through smapi you should have the smapi console

#

windows: WIN+R, type cmd

azure sigil
gaunt gust
#

if you're running through SMAPI it should be there

azure sigil
#

ok

gaunt gust
#

Podunkian said that you needed to find the directory and basically rename StardewModdingAPI.exe to Stardew Valley.exe

#

I wonder if achievements work

azure sigil
#

kk

#

.. it wont let me open the .exe-

gaunt gust
#

it won't let you rename it or open it

#

it won't let you open it because Gamepass. You have to run through gamepass

#

but it should let you do the replacement

azure sigil
#

kk

#

so launch the game up on the xbox app thingy-

orchid tendon
#

Hey, im trying to install SVE and followed all the steps to install it but when i try to start a new save it does not get further then the Saving screen after the Intro and spits a wall of errors about spacecore

her is my log: https://smapi.io/log/ec77f89ef38943cb8bf2dcc0e40383c8

can someone help me?

orchid tendon
#

had to move it out of the Windows provided directory since it's kinda wierd with the permissions could not get it to run at all otherwise

gaunt gust
#

...are you GamePass?

neat plaza
#

i dont think json assets works with 1.5.5?

gaunt gust
#

JA is fine

#

there's an oddity with the GOG version

neat plaza
#

oh

orchid tendon
#

yes im on game pass

gaunt gust
#

okay, go back to gamepass, and Enable Mods

#

it's in the menu with three dots

#

scroll up a bit for screenshots

orchid tendon
#

i did that already

gaunt gust
#

don't move the game

#

that said - the exact issue you have seems to be the JA thing GOG currently has, which I think will need to wait for Pathos to release the next version of JA

orchid tendon
#

Okay thanks then i will wait πŸ™‚

azure sigil
#

oop-

gaunt gust
#

on the bright side this channel is no longer "this is how you install NET 5.0:

sturdy onyx
#

I'm having a problem to isntall the latest SMAPI version - "Oops You don't have the required .NET version installed." - I already downloaded this .NET but still gives me the error

sturdy onyx
#

xD

#

I did everything right 😦

gaunt gust
#

Microsoft named like nine things almost the same thing so...

#

what OS are you?

sturdy onyx
#

Windows

azure sigil
#

.. and im still confused on how to play through gamepass-

gaunt gust
#

does hitting the "play" button not work?

#

did you successfully rename StardewModdingAPI.exe to Stardew Valley.exe?

azure sigil
#

yes

#

im just unsure on what im supposed to look out for-

sturdy onyx
gaunt gust
#

the big green play button on your screnshot

azure sigil
#

yes but in the game-

#

what do i look for-

gaunt gust
gaunt gust
azure sigil
#

what do i look for to see the command console-

gaunt gust
#

honestly, I don't have GamePass and am not going to go buy it, so...

#

I suspect we may have to wait for a GamePass user to come by

sturdy onyx
#

OMG the load time is 1000000x faster jesus LOL

gaunt gust
#

I'm going to celebrate for you because that's like the first I've heard of faster load times

#

a question: do you use pytk?

#

do you use dga?

sturdy onyx
#

I use everything required to make a mod works, so yes, I use pytk because one of the 90 mods requires (don't even know what for)

gaunt gust
#

o.O interesting

sturdy onyx
gaunt gust
#

because people have been complaining about pytk takign longer to load on 1.5.5

#

And I'd kind of like to know why πŸ˜›

sturdy onyx
#

Before, my load time was around 4-5 minutes (for real)

#

now it only took me like 10 seconds or less

#

4-5 minutes even with my SSD

dusky canyon
#

do you use SVE by any chance?

shell jackal
#

What was that Custom Music setting so it doesn't preload and saves loading time?

sturdy onyx
#

I use both SVE and Ridgeside

dusky canyon
#

ohh, okay :))

dusky canyon
#

oh set it to true*

shell jackal
#

Thank you

dusky canyon
#

but idk if that works since custom music on 1.5.5 is a bit iffy

gaunt gust
#

high hopes for 1.5.6

dusky canyon
#

author still has to update :_:

sturdy onyx
#

I was reading my logs because I know I have a lot of mods to update, but it now says both Content Patch and Pytk is no longer compatible. Should I be worried or what? I really don't know what mods requires those 2 to be honest haha

gaunt gust
#

oh that explains your load times lol

#

you need the latest version of content patcher

#

and the unofficial version of pytk

#

!compat <- found here

native dragonBOT
#

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

gaunt gust
#

I knew things were going too smoothly

sturdy onyx
#

so its not 100% incompatible?

dusky canyon
#

it is

azure sigil
#

well while i wait ill just play on my mobile device-

sturdy onyx
#

Ok, that 10 seconds load time jumped to around 1 minute with the new pytk and the content patch

#

RIP my 10 seconds experience 😦

#

But still... 1 minute is way better than my last 4-5 minutes

dusky canyon
#

hahah

#

remove sve and it'll be your original

main iris

so i downloaded .NET 5 and then i tried to open stardew like normal with smapi and it says "oops blah blah you need .NET 5" but like girl i already downloaded it so does anyone know what that's about. on a mac btw

gaunt gust
lament prairie
#

atravita, I think my load times also dropped on 1.5.5, for more anecdotes

deep epoch
#

same issue as me

#

probably

lament prairie
#

I think PyTK only increases load time a lot for certain functions of it

gaunt gust
lament prairie
#

I also get less lag, which is pretty nice

deep epoch
#

then u should be good

main iris
#

okay i'll give it a try thank you sm!!❀️

gaunt gust
brave tangle
#

to disable mods so you can play vanilla, all you have to do is get rid of that thing in the properties section right?

gaunt gust
#

or you can rename your mods folder to anything that's not Mods

brave tangle
#

okay thank you!
i feel like i would forget about the folder being renamed though 😭

and if not is there any alternative

i'd guess it still works

I dont see how it shouldnt xp

Sooo, hi, everyone! Looking for help 'cause updates somehow broke my game? : ) I've read the troubleshooting pages, got new SMAPI, got .net framework updated, restarted computer, but still get the same error (it doesn't even create a new smapi error log...) Something about "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format." Do I just paste what my console error log says in here?

shy orbit
#

yeah, you can do that

gaunt gust
hearty jasper
#

@gaunt gust Where do I find the file? (I assume I am on 1.5.5, since when I first started the game today, it told me something along the lines "can't start, you're on 1.5.5., you need new smapi for that, thx")

gaunt gust
#

look into the directory Stardew is installed in

#

!reset but you should try verifying files first

native dragonBOT
gaunt gust
#

after that, let's see if vanilla stardew works for you

#

and just to double-check: you installed smapi using the installer?

#

what operating system are you, anyways?

hearty jasper
#

Running a search for stardewvalley.dll; I am on Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit system.

#

And I'm using Vortex to mod manage. It gave me a SMAPI update button. Used it. Then figured maybe it didn't work properly, so uninstalled SMAPI completely through Vortex, got the new zip manually from Nexusmods, and dragged it into Vortex & installed. So that should've worked.

shell jackal
#

I think vortex doesn't work with smapi at the moment?

gaunt gust
#

no, vortex doesn't work with smapi

#

there's an open issue about it rn if you want details

#

just use the installer from smapi itself

hearty jasper
#

Oh, maybe that's the issue. ...That means I'll have to uncouple/unmanage my mods with Vortex for the moment, huh? How do I do that?

gaunt gust
#

if you run SMAPI's installer you can continue using Vortex for everything else, I hear

#

but it's also pretty easy to do manually

shell jackal
#

I've always manually installed all my mods so I know nothing about vortex

gaunt gust

Hi Im new here and looking for help with the new update. I'm using ModDrop, both in mothdrop and steam it isn't launching. Can anybody help me out?

leaden monolith
hearty jasper
#

Alright, I'll poke at it and see! Also, I have not found a StardewValley.dll, but StardewValleyExpanded.dlls... do they replace the regular ones? Should I still have one?

gaunt gust
#

try "browse local files" from steam

gaunt gust
hearty jasper
#

@gaunt gust Thanks, browsed, found it, mine's got a space? It's Stardew Valley.dll, but I assume that's fine

gaunt gust
#

coolio.

#

can you run the game without mods by double-clicking on Stardew Valley.exe?

leaden monolith
gaunt gust
#

so not through moddrop, not through vortex, and not a manual install

#

Has the .NET 5.0 issue been discussed here? I'm having trouble with it

@tired brook After a lot of efforts and help, I managed to open the install file and this error happened.

"not possible to execute, as the command or the specific file cannot be found"

possibles reasons:
β€’ You miswrote a dotnet command integrated
β€’ You wanted to execute a .net program, but [name of the file] doesn't exist
β€’ You wanted to execute a global tool, but the executor with this name and dotnet prefix cannot be found in the path"

chilly snow
tired brook
#

@turbid zealot That usually means the SMAPI.Installer.runtimeconfig.json file is missing. I'm working on an experimentral overhaul of the installer which will eliminate the need for .NET though, hoping to have a prototype ready tonight.

eternal crescent
#

I successfully installed SMAPI with the .NET 5.0 thing so thanks heaps, but even though it had my mods on it, they didn't work and I got a game message saying "invalid content did not launch to prevent crash"

and does it really matter is it gonna affect my mods

@gaunt gust i open the files now what ?

put it above the (x86) ones

leaden monolith
gaunt gust

looks good

#

try running the installer now

misty surge
#

It just appears that the title page and new save is laggy not the game

gaunt gust
#

oh that happens

I feel like load times for 1.5.5 have in general been longer

@gaunt gust no change

gaunt gust
#

but once the game launches it's good

gaunt gust
misty surge
#

and it just crashed on me again 😦

misty surge
#

the crash isn't in the SMAPI window though

gaunt gust
#

do you have an antivirus? You may need to whitelist SMAPI in it

gaunt gust
misty surge
#

i'll try to figure out what my mac might be doing to it, this has never happened with SMAPI before SDVpuffercry

are you an M1 mac

misty surge

i'm not sure

leaden monolith
# gaunt gust looks good

i saw the homescreen of stardew valley for a few seconds, but then it crashed. Now both the stardewvalley as the moddingAPI is still not opening

  4. Post the log link here.

Hi! I'm having trouble updating smapi? i installed 3.13.1 but the stardewvalleymodapi.exe isn't showing and when i try to launch it says missing excutable

fickle grail
#

My solution was to just uninstall everything and reinstall from scratch. not very effecient but it worked

glacial tangle
dire fractal
#

oh ok ty

gaunt gust
glacial tangle
#

i did a manual install

gaunt gust
#

did you install SMAPI by downloading from smapi.io and running the installer?

#

at some point of time in the last two days

glacial tangle
#

i learned my lesson last time vortex messed up my mods, but this time with manual... yeah i downloaded it from the website and the installer today

gaunt gust
#

which directory did you install it into?

glacial tangle
gaunt gust
#

hum. did you run the installer?

glacial tangle
#

yup, and i made sure it went into the same folder but the excutable didn't show up

gaunt gust
#

run the installer again and screenshot it for us

glacial tangle
#

okie

#

and then something flashes fast, and the box closes

olive remnant
#

where do i download smapi, and is that the best mod loader?

dire fractal
#

whats the best hairstyle plugin i want my avatar to be cuter

gaunt gust
#

you should be on 3.13.1

olive remnant
dire fractal
#

or what all mods do i need to make her cuter lol

gaunt gust
native dragonBOT
olive remnant
#

ok thanks

glacial tangle
gaunt gust
#

...rar

#

where are you getting this

#

it's a zip file

#

https://smapi.io/ go to this webpage and screenshot it for me because I'm a little confused right now

dire fractal
#

i think some people use winrar to unzip files than 7zip, that would be my guess

olive remnant
#

ye my computer pulled it to winrar

#

just extract it then run the installer

#

yay i get to install .net

#

alr restarting computr

glacial tangle
#

pretty much yeah, i sent the files to my desk top

chilly snow
#

well i have another problem with installing smapi again...

#

was working fine a few moments ago lol..

gaunt gust
#

are you gamepass

chilly snow
#

yeah

#

enable mods already, copy n paste path

gaunt gust
misty surge
#

The issue was Piano Valley

gaunt gust
misty surge
#

which makes sense but I'm sad lol

glacial tangle
# gaunt gust okay, that's fine

with updating smapi, i launch the game via steam and then it says it's running but then closes out right away and the play button shows up. essentially crashing before it can even launch fully

olive remnant
#

where do i find the file it's looking for

#

i cannot find it in my drive

gaunt gust
olive remnant
#

what do you mean by the legacy branch

glacial tangle
# gaunt gust did you install NET?

yeah i did that too, i found a thread on steam with people having the same problem. i think at this point i might just wait it out x.x;

gaunt gust
#

!32bit

native dragonBOT
#

If your computer is an older 32-bit system, you will need the 32-bit compatibility version of the game. Please be aware that SMAPI/game mods are not compatible with this version.

On Steam: In your library, right-click Stardew Valley and select Properties... > Betas > then "compatibility" under the dropdown.
On GOG: From the game's page, click the settings icon > Manage installation > Configure... > then "compatibility" under the Beta channels dropdown.

#

But I can't leave the farm

gaunt gust
#

you need the unofficial version of tmxl from the same link

true oyster
#

Oh ok

#

sorry. I forgot about that one

This is weird. The game isn't loading now.

So, whenever I boot up the game with the latest version of SMAPI, on 1.5.5, the game works alright... until I load a save. Then, the game crashes as soon as the save loads. I'm on PopOS (Linux) and I have .NET 5.0

when i download the mods, how do i put them into the game. thats where my issue is.

you unzip them and you put them in the Mods folder

gaunt gust
granite verge
#

i didddd ;{

#

i think im about to delete everything so i can start it fresh

fathom whale
#

one last question - do mods like winter grass mod work in multiplayer

naive drum
granite verge
#

yea

naive drum
#

the SMAPI console should be showing up alongside the game; if not, and you're launching via Steam, you need to set your launch options

#

if the SMAPI console is showing up then we need your SMAPI log

#

!log

native dragonBOT
#

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

granite verge
#

like i extract the files, they just end up making the unzipped file and then thats it

naive drum
#

you put that in your mods folder

#

the unzipped folder is the mod

#

again - parsed smapi log & mods folder screenshot please.

granite verge
#

okok so let me try and upload the log

dusky canyon
#

easy

dire fractal
#

what does this mean Multiple content packs want to load the 'TileSheets/furnitureFront' asset (Witchy-Gothic Interior dark, Witchy-Gothic Interior fancy, Witchy-Gothic Interior fancy_couches, Witchy-Gothic Interior fancy_pastel, Witchy-Gothic Interior Requested_Spencerr). None will be applied. You should remove some of the content packs, or ask the authors about compatibility

naive drum
gaunt gust
dire fractal
#

oh dang that sucks

granite verge
#

yea thats what i did thats why i dont understand why nothing is showing up. let me try and figur out how to upload my log real quick

naive drum
#

the log parsing site has instructions

#

!log

native dragonBOT
#

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

native dragonBOT
granite verge
#

i cant find it. all i have in the files popping up is smapi installer.

naive drum
#

OK sounds like you're not actually launching via SMAPI

#

run the SMAPI installer again and grab the entire launch option string, from the first " to the last % inclusive

#

then go to steam and rightclick stardew valley and click properties and paste the whole launch option in there. then launch stardew again

#

SMAPI creates a smapi-latest.txt whenever it launches, so if there's no smapi-latest.txt SMAPI has not been launched since the last time Stardew Valley was updated.

granite verge
#

it is in there tho, it loads up and everything when starting the game. im sorry im so new to pc like i just got this yesterday i have no idea what im doing. i probably deleted it or something

gaunt gust
#

can you screenshot it and send that to us

naive drum
#

yeah, can you screenshot your smapi console that shows up when you launch the game?

granite verge
#

yea hold up i just installed it again i think// idk but i copied the thingy

#

yea ok so its on again says there are 3 mods but i tried the log thing again and still cant find anything besides smapi installer

#

let me ss

naive drum
#

it's in Appdata

#

you're doing
`Press the Windows and R buttons at the same time.
In the 'run' box that appears, enter this exact text:

%appdata%\StardewValley\ErrorLogs`
correct?

#

also, please screenshot your mods folder.

granite verge
#

I did all that and searched. It’s a mess but ok. I can send ss in there?

@true oyster Reset Terrain Features (https://smapi.io/mods/#Reset_Terrain_Features) is a mod that lets you reset, clear, or generate everything that spawns on a map using an in-game menu. That's especially useful when changing maps mid-save, as the debris will otherwise use the old layout (causing things like trees in the water or bushes blocking exits).

dusky canyon
#

did you add it mid-save?

#

or add the 2.0 mid-save

gaunt gust
#

Ridgeside changed a bunch of things with 2.0

true oyster
gaunt gust
#

so, yeah, you'll have to do a bit of cleanup. I used NoClip

true oyster
#

Is this meant to be a "this will fix your issue" or "You can use this to manually fix the issue

gaunt gust
#

I used NoClip and manually fixed the issue with the trees and stuff

true oyster
#

Is that the issue?

gaunt gust
#

but rtf is probably the better way

dusky canyon
#

you may have pathing (NPCs walking in strange places) issues and others if you add the updated RSV (2.0) mid-save

naive drum
# granite verge This is in my mods folder

The SMAPI log is not in the mods folder. You can and probably should remove those installers from the mods folder and screenshot the mods folder itself, not a search for SMAPI within the mods folder.

#

Also, you didn't follow the instructions for how to find your log file at all judging by the looks of it

granite verge
#

: 3 yikes

gaunt gust

#

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

true oyster
#

Why's it telling me to update the same mods twice?

granite verge
#

I did I literally copied it put it in the search thing the files came up and I just didn’t see anything that looked like what it said would be there. Like I said I’ve never used a pc before I’m a console person this is new to me.

OK, so, SMAPI is not opening through Steam on Linux Mint (Uma 20.2, which is based on Ubuntu 20.04)

  • Stardew Valley updates to 1.5.5

  • I open it through Steam and it opens without SMAPI

  • I attempt to install SMAPI but it tells me I need dotnet 5

  • which I install using the instructions from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-ubuntu#2004-

  • I install SMAPI successfully(?), open it through Steam
    -- it "starts" but nothing ever opens up, then ends less than a second later

  • I remove all my mods, verify integrity of game files so I'm sure I have the right ones to start with, then reinstall SMAPI from scratch
    -- similarly, it "starts" but nothing actually shows up

  • I run SMAPI in a terminal manually by going "./StardewValley"
    -- running it manually from a terminal works fine but does not register my gamepad input and I kinda need that

  • I restart the computer, verify integrity of game files, and then reinstall SMAPI again
    -- still opens and instantly closes
    -- running it manually from a terminal also works fine, but again does not capture gamepad input at all

  • The place SMAPI puts its logs only shows what happened the last time I opened it manually from a terminal

  • I go digging into Steam's own logs (.local/share/Steam/logs) and they also say nothing of use

Ok I’m going to try it now

I am trying to paste my file path into steam..and it keeps telling me that it cannot find the C file?

naive drum
#

you have an incomplete launch option string!

#

you need the entire string the smapi installer gave you, including the quotation marks and the %command%

royal matrix
#

That is what I am doing

naive drum
#

you can safely run the SMAPI installer over an existing instance of SMAPI - it's how updating SMAPI works- so just do that to get the launch option string

#

paste it here then

#

an example complete launch option string (mine):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

#

That is mine also

run the SMAPI installer again and copy the launch option string from it

#

The place you're trying to install mods to.

Where you are putting the mods.

how to ss again

naive drum
#

The folder that your mods, that aren't loading, are in.

granite verge
#

sassy

naive drum
#

prtsc button (or button that says something similar) and then ctrl+v in here

#

was saying it with a bunch of different wordings since you were confused by the first one and rephrasing helps

granite verge
naive drum
#

that's...a webpage

#

why did you load it via chrome?

granite verge
#

i thoughtttttt thats where im putting the mod in

loud dirge
#

You can put the thing in the webpage's top bar into your regular file browser

Has anybody else had an issue where it's REALLY HARD to alt+tab to another screen while Stardew is Up?

granite verge
#

im delusionally laughing man give me a break i have no idea what im doing im SORRYYYY

#

i'm not sure if you can move files around in google chrome?

civic marlin
#

most desktops also have a snip function you can use to capture a specific part of the screen

loud dirge
#

Yeah no chrome is read-only

#

you want to go to the thing that looks like a beige folder at the bottom of the screen

#

and take a screenshot of that

naive drum
#

you had it open in the actual windows file explorer earlier when you were searching for SMAPI in a folder named Mods

granite verge
#

so ss where i was b4?

loud dirge
#

yes

naive drum
#

it's yellow-and-blue on that screenshot for me...on the right of Steam on the taskbar, opened

royal matrix
#

Now the black screen is blinking on and than right back off

loud dirge
#

because at the moment the thing you have screenshotted is where your mod should be, but you can't do anything except see it in Google Chrome, you need to be in File Explorer to do anything about it

granite verge
loud dirge
#

Okay, open a second window of that

granite verge
#

u talking to me?

loud dirge
#

yes jillybug

granite verge
#

ohhh i srry

naive drum
# granite verge

aha! i see your problem!
that's not your actual Mods folder, that's a random folder in your Documents folder that SMAPI has no idea exists

granite verge
#

shootsssss

#

so where da real one

loud dirge
#

then you can paste the URL that you just had open in Chrome into the URL bar of File Explorer

#

and move everything over there

#

Delete the Content Patcher folder with all the numbers in its name first, and then move all the other files to the Mods folder that's in your Stardew Valley folder

#

and then unless it's used by a different game, you can remove the Mods folder you put in your Documents folder

(Hi! I have two days' worth of pings in this channel, but I haven't forgotten about them. I'm working on a SMAPI installer change which should hopefully eliminate the .NET issues, but I can only find time to do that by ignoring messages temporarily. I'll be going through all of my pings once the installer changes are done!)

(not that anyone here is exactly a customer but you know what I mean)

#

i cant figure out wtf to do i should just delete it all and start over man this is so annoying

#

Unfortunately I cannot do a screenshot tutorial because I am not on Windows

#

No, keep everything you already downloaded but put it in the other folder

naive drum
#

and you need to move your mods to there.

#

ok so i search that into where

loud dirge
#

into the place roberta made a gif of

right above

#

ok

naive drum
#

you can just paste it into the file explorer thing

granite verge
#

there?

loud dirge
#

Yes that's the right place!

naive drum
#

or go to steam, rightclick stardew valley, mouse over Manage and click Browse Local Files to go straight to the Stardew Valley folder and from there click Mods

#

and yep, that's the right place!

#

That's where your mods belong

#

i feel like a toddler praise me . yall would never believe how old i am with this little knowledge of computer stuff

#

(Note that you have two copies of Content Patcher, one with a long string of numbers in the name and one without. You need to delete the copy with the numbers)

loud dirge
#

I'd click the button called "Pin to Quick Access" right underneath the blue "File" button

#

that puts a shortcut into the sidebar

granite verge
#

okok

loud dirge
#

Then you can go back and forth to it easier

dusky canyon
#

(you'd have to select the folder you want to pin first before being able to)

loud dirge
#

(Right yes)

naive drum
#

(If you have two copies of the same mod in your mods folder, SMAPI won't load either to avoid the mod clashing with itself.)

loud dirge
#

(It's been a while since I've touched Windows lol)

naive drum
#

so you'd click Stardew Valley in that address bar, then in that folder click on the Mods folder to highlight it and then click the pin to quick access button

granite verge
#

got it

dusky canyon
#

ohh that's way easier lmao

naive drum
#

...i just checked, having never actually used the big Pin to Quick Access button, and you can do it from inside the folder you're pinning -_-

dusky canyon
#

for some reason I always right clicked Quick access and did Pin current folder to quick access instead of the other ways SDVpufferchickpaint

#

Now...when I attempt to play the black screen flips on and off immediately

granite verge
#

i have to really soon. what else do i do, like putting the files into that mod folder, do i just drag the unzipped files there?
