What?

[dusky canyon]

did you use steam jilly?

[gaunt gust]

do you have a nvidia graphics card

[lament prairie]

is your computer an nvidia

[naive drum]

jilly has their launch options set iirc

[granite verge]

okok and it will work even though that steam stuff keeps saying i might lose the data r whatever?

[royal matrix]

No

[granite verge]

yes @dusky canyon

[naive drum]

yeah

[dusky canyon]

did you already set the steam launch options?

[naive drum]

make sure to use local files not the cloud ones

[loud dirge]

As long as you're adding things rather than replacing them it shouldn't be an issue

Go ahead and take a screenshot of where you put your mods after you do it just so we can make sure you have it right

[granite verge]

okok im going to try one real quick

okok

[dusky canyon]

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

[naive drum]

its set already iirc

[dusky canyon]

cant cut on imgur anymore for some reason ;-;

very sad

Ohh that's good then

[loud dirge]

That's already been set correctly yes

[royal matrix]

Does anyone know how i can fix my issue ?

[granite verge]

so what about the downloads that dont look like folders?

[dusky canyon]

the Rars/compressed/zipped?

you can remove them

[granite verge]

wym

[naive drum]

you're not done moving your mods over

[granite verge]

i know i have to leave

[naive drum]

the .zip/.rar files are ignored by SMAPI

.rar files can be opened by 7zip

[dusky canyon]

(Look in the Type column of your File Explorer)

[granite verge]

got to go some where just wanted to check and make sure i was doing it rihgt first

[naive drum]

yeah you're moving them over correctly!

[granite verge]

can u tell me exactly what to do with them so that i can ss and do it when i get back

[gaunt gust]

make sure you've downloaded smapi 3.13.1 from smapi.io

[tall island]

guy's I'm having a brain moment
what's the name of the Grandpa's farm expansion again?

[royal matrix]

I have and .net also

[gaunt gust]

immersive farm, iirc. Or grandpa's farm

[royal matrix]

I have pasted the file into steam...the black screen pops off and on

[tall island]

people were calling it like pytk or something I couldn't remember the letter order

[naive drum]

you'll need 7zip, and once that's installed fully you put the .rars into the Mods folder, right-click them and click Extract Here. that will unzip it but it also leaves the .rar behind (in case you wanted to keep the zipped version too), so you should clean those out of the mods folder every so often

[gaunt gust]

pytk is an utility mod you may need for other mods

[tall island]

ah

[lament prairie]

Yes, it is out of beta

[low creek]

So, can I ask about updating SMAPI here or in #vanilla-tech-support?

[gaunt gust]

here

[low creek]

welp

[lament prairie]

I'm not sure about moving mods—most likely, you'll need to :

1. Save your mods folder (zip and put somewhere safe)
2. Uninstall SMAPI (might not need to, but it might make things easier if this is doable)
3. Install new 1.5.5 version
4. Install SMAPI 3.13
   4a. Install .NET 5.0 desktop runtime (no other version of .NET works)
   4b. Finish installing SMAPI
5. Reinstall old mods
6. Run the game once to get a log of what to update
7. Update a bunch of mods, make sure to get PyTK and TMXL unofficial if you need them

(This is for SomethingGood)

[low creek]

this appears every time I try updating it

like, I am trying to install it

[lament prairie]

That's not a directory path

[gaunt gust]

are you sure you have updated to Stardew 1.5.5?

!reset

[native dragon]

See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files for instructions on resetting your game files! (This doesn't affect your save files.) You may also want to check this list of XNB > Content Patcher conversions (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods#Alternatives_using_Content_Patcher) to see if there are already replacements for any XNB mods you may have been using :)

[low creek]

welp

ok then

[gaunt gust]

Make sure you're not on legacy mode as well

[low creek]

I forgot about new version of stardew

[gaunt gust]

can you see if you can run smapi from the command line?

then

1. shift+right-click on the empty space in the directory. Hit "Open PowerShell Window Here"
2. In the powershell window, type .\StardewModdingAPI.exe . That exactly

[royal matrix]

your going to have to dumb that down a little....what empty space?

[gaunt gust]

so after you hit browse local files a file exploer comes up

you just shift-right-click into the empty space there

see how I'm clicking over to the right where there are no files?

you should have PowerShell. (the others are mostly stuff I've installed over time)

[eternal crescent]

Should I be worried about this? [SMAPI] These mods change the save serializer. They may corrupt your save files, or make them unusable if
[SMAPI] you uninstall these mods.

[SMAPI] - PyTK
[SMAPI] - SpaceCore
[SMAPI] - TMXL Map Toolkit

[royal matrix]

nothing says power shell

[gaunt gust]

hold shift as you right click

[gaunt gust]

it's fine

[eternal crescent]

sweet as

[royal matrix]

ok i did that

[gaunt gust]

take a screenshot and post it here

[gaunt gust]

interesting

try reinstalling SMAPI, I guess

also what does dotnet --info give you?

[royal matrix]

do you want me to type that into the blue screen?

[gaunt gust]

yes

[gaunt gust]

you're missing a space

[lament prairie]

you need a space

[gaunt gust]

dotnet --info just copy and paste from what I wrote

[gaunt gust]

okay, you have dotnet installed correctly at least

I think you should uninstall and reinstall SMAPI first

[royal matrix]

will do ...be right back

[snow yoke]

um is it hard to update smapi??

[gaunt gust]

no

it's not

just download the installer from smapi.io and run it again

[snow yoke]

do you need to add it to the stardew file again?

[gaunt gust]

what do you mean by that?

[dusky canyon]

just put the installer folder in your downloads folder and run windows.bat from there

[dire fractal]

7:16 PM] MYZI: I downloaded the runtime and restarted my computer and it's still not working
[7:16 PM] MYZI: 5.0.12 runtime for windows 64

!gettingstarted

[native dragon]

@dire fractal If you would like a guide to setting up mods for Stardew Valley, check out the getting started guide! https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide

[gaunt gust]

so, what error are you having exactly?

[loud dirge]

Sadly I didn't but I'll let pathoschild figure it out for a couple days first

[snow yoke]

bruh im so lost on updating smapi

[lament prairie]

MYZI, it needs to be desktop runtime specifically, if you haven't checked that

[dire fractal]

yes i have downloaded desktop runtime and restarted my pc

[lament prairie]

Type dotnet --info into command prompt

[gaunt gust]

go through the troubleshooting steps here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_.NET_5.0_Troubleshooting

[loud dirge]

tell me more?

[dire fractal]

Console has the wrong informatiion just fyi

For anyone else who asks

You need the x86 download, not the x64 for it to run properly

Didn't work before and just installed that one and it worked

[gaunt gust]

no, that means your paths are mangled for some reason

de-mangle the paths using step three of the troubleshooter

[naive drum]

download the SMAPI installer, run the smapi installer

[loud dirge]

sure, just let me know when

[royal matrix]

nope still going to the black screen than immediately blinking off

[shrewd pawn]

hey i need help with running smapi

this is the game pass version fyi

[snow yoke]

@naive drum

[snow yoke]

This is what I get

[gaunt gust]

drm is terrible. I wish I had more of a constructive comment about it.

[gaunt gust]

can you screnshot your game directory and send this to us?

[naive drum]

Download the SMAPI installer from smapi.io

[shrewd pawn]

true

[gaunt gust]

have you set the Enable Mods setting?

[naive drum]

Mugiwara you have an old version of the installer, you need to redownload

[shrewd pawn]

yes

[naive drum]

the SMAPI installer does not automatically fetch new versions and can be used offline

[snow yoke]

i got it ty sorry im slow

[gaunt gust]

after you've installed it, take the file named StardewModdingAPI.exe and rename it to Stardew Valley.exe

then run through gamepass

[loud dirge]

hm, it needs the SDK? huh lemme see

[gaunt gust]

if that doesn't work we've exhausted basically teh whole gamepass debugging understanding so far, fwiw

[royal matrix]

where do i find the game directory

[gaunt gust]

#archived-modded-support message

[shrewd pawn]

it works 😄

tysm

[royal matrix]

so....you want me to pull up the blue screen again?

[loud dirge]

Hm. SDK and asp.net added, SMAPI reinstalled, Stardew still only launches through console and as such does not know my controller is there

that's the big sticking point for me

[snow yoke]

uhhhh why was my tractor replaced with a horse?

[loud dirge]

You need to update tractor mod

[snow yoke]

uhhhh how do i go about that?

[loud dirge]

Honestly just in general you probably need to update a bunch of mods, pull up the SMAPI log and click all the links there

then redownload them

[snow yoke]

where do i find smapi log

[loud dirge]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[loud dirge]

You don't need to share it in this case, it just has a bunch of URLs in that you should follow

[royal matrix]

what do i do with this?

do i need to restart my computer

[lament prairie]

Did it give you an error log?

[royal matrix]

is the above an error log?

[snow yoke]

wait im sorry when you download the mods do you need to do anything with the filkes?

[lament prairie]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[lament prairie]

Do the instructions here pull up an error log?

[lament prairie]

You gotta put them in the mods folder

Also unzip them

[loud dirge]

Unzip everything, then replace the folders in your Mods folder with the new folders you download

[snow yoke]

oh yea ok ty

[serene cedar]

Does anyone know if UI Suite works because it seems to not be working for me after I updated the game and smapi

[lament prairie]

use ui info suite 2

You'll need to download from github

Make sure to go to the sidebar and find releases

!compat

[native dragon]

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

[lament prairie]

This will have a link

You can search in the box there

[loud dirge]

https://github.com/Annosz/UIInfoSuite2/releases

Make sure to remove the original UI Info Suite so you're not running both at the same time btw

[fringe cape]

Hello! I just joined this discord in hopes of some help! You see I have been having this problem and idk what it is. I already tried deleting and reinstalling smapi as well as the actual game and I even deleted all the mods but nothing is helping

3.13.1

[unborn verge]

help my game is saying i have no saved games all of the sudden and the last day i played wouldnt save it just got stuck on saying it was saving

[lament prairie]

!reset this may also help, try verifying game files

[native dragon]

@fringe cape See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files for instructions on resetting your game files! (This doesn't affect your save files.)

[fringe cape]

What is that?

[lament prairie]

Type dotnet --info into command prompt

[unborn verge]

https://smapi.io/log/c049e0682b814d88bf69017fe0225cd8 this is my log

[lament prairie]

Then tell us what it said

[loud dirge]

have you recently uninstalled any mods?

[fringe cape]

Whew is that?

[unborn verge]

no

[lament prairie]

It's a command that asks your computer what versions of .NET you have installed

Someone else might need to walk you through command prompt, unfortuntely I don't know windows

[fringe cape]

Sorry I have no idea how to work a computer so idk how to do that

[loud dirge]

https://www.wikihow.com/Run-a-Program-on-Command-Prompt but after the black box shows up put "dotnet --info" instead of start

[unborn verge]

who's that to

[loud dirge]

that was for @fringe cape

[unborn verge]

can anyone help me pls?

[loud dirge]

I'm gonna have to leave you to people who know how saving works sorry

[fringe cape]

Now what?

I never had that? Is it now required?

[loud dirge]

someone mind getting kiki here? I need to dip

[unborn verge]

if anyone can help for context it says i have saves in my files from recently but for some reason they arent showing up in my game either vanilla or smapi

[strange forge]

hello

i have a mod prob

uh pyTK

why doesnt it work

is there a better version?

[late nebula]

!compat

[native dragon]

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

[unborn verge]

could that be why my game isnt working

[late nebula]

Maybe try looking through the troubleshooting section here https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves

[fringe cape]

I still having the same problem

[strange forge]

ill test it right now

[lapis void]

!saves

[native dragon]

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

[lapis void]

there are instructions here for undoing the last save

[fringe cape]

Same problem

[late nebula]

Did you restart?

[fringe cape]

The computer? No

[late nebula]

You usually need to after installing .net so give that a try.

[fringe cape]

Okay

[gaunt gust]

can I get a screenshot of your game directory?

[fringe cape]

Directory?

[strange forge]

where ur game is located

[royal matrix]

i have download SMAPI and the black screen still blinks on..off

[fringe cape]

Steam!

[fringe cape]

What do I do next?

[gaunt gust]

take a screenshot of the directory that opens and send it to us

[fringe cape]

This?

[gaunt gust]

now scroll down and look for Stardew Valley.dll

[fringe cape]

I can see it but it’s not letting me open it

[gaunt gust]

it shouldn't let you open it

I was just using this to double check you weren't on the legacy version

[fringe cape]

O H okay

[fringe cape]

What do I do then?

[gaunt gust]

did you reinstall smapi after installing net 5.0?

[fringe cape]

No I will do it now then

Nope same problem

[royal matrix]

now this is what it says... i have installed SMAPI over and over

[gaunt gust]

you're the second person I've seen with a random missing fiel

[fringe cape]

Same problem

[gaunt gust]

it's System.Numeric for that person too

[steep steeple]

How do I update my smapi for 1.5.5

[steep steeple]

Ok thanks

[inland sand]

anyone know why the enable mods section of my game pass version of stardew valley is greyed?

unclickable

[royal matrix]

is this what you want?

😫

is this fixable?

[lament prairie]

Have you already verified game files?

(Sorry, I haven't been following too closely, but I see "missing files")

(And verifying the game files can sometimes fix that)

[royal matrix]

how do i do that?

[lament prairie]

First link here

[iron egret]

Hello. Does sampi not work for the new windows release on gamepass? Because I cannot get it working.

I tried reading all the wiki guides and can't seem to figure it out.

[lament prairie]

Gamepass is...special

Step 1: Find the "Enable mods" button

Nothing else is going to work right because the folder permissions won't work out

[iron egret]

ya it kept tell me I don't have premission after installing smapi

[lament prairie]

See here for screenshots of where to find #archived-modded-support message

[iron egret]

ok I enabled it

now do I just load it from the xbox luancher or what?

[lament prairie]

Now you can try running the SMAPI installer

You still need SMAPI to use mods

[iron egret]

it doesn't do anything when I click on it

I intalled smapi already

but when I click the exe it does nothing

[lament prairie]

Okay, you installed smapi successfully and it told you green text?

Just checking bc lots of people had issues with that

And it's SMAPI 3.13?

[iron egret]

yes

[lament prairie]

Okay, now do this: #archived-modded-support message

[iron egret]

my computer made it stardew valley (2) is that ok

It didn't give me a option to replace or anything

[lament prairie]

You probably need to delete the original one

[iron egret]

ok

ok I did that and it loads the console for a second then closes

[lament prairie]

Are you opening the .exe or running the game through Game Pass?

[iron egret]

I restarted gamepass and now it is loading fine. Thank you for the help.

[lament prairie]

Oh awesome!

Especially because that was everything I knew about Game Pass

We were going to have to start experimental debugging procedures if that didn't work

[fringe cape]

Is my problem not able to be solved?

[dire fractal]

Hi! Joined because I need some help. I'm not sure what happened but 2 of my profiles on SV won't load. When I click on either one to play them the game just crashes and completely exits out back to my desktop/steam. I have tried everything, and when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING. I used to have mods so I tried updating them and all of the "fixes" suggested for that but nothing worked and now I deleted all mods and SMAPI and I'm still having the same issue. I have tried fixes for with mods, without mods, and everything in between such as restoring corrupted files. I'm sorry this is so long, just kinda freaking out that I'll probably lose 200+ hours of game progress.

[lament prairie]

What was your problem again?

[lament prairie]

Were these saves that had modded items in them?

When the game crashed with SMAPI, were there any logs?

[fringe cape]

I did everything that others told me to do and the same massage keeps popping up

[lament prairie]

Okay, and they checked that you did have this file?

Have you already tried verifying game files?

[fringe cape]

What file?

[fringe cape]

Yes I did

[lament prairie]

StardewValley.dll I think is the file it can't find

[fringe cape]

Yes I found it

[lament prairie]

Do you have more than one drive? Like C: and D:?

[fringe cape]

I don’t believe so???

[lament prairie]

Hmm, I'm not sure I have any other answers then

You could try uninstalling + reinstalling SDV

[fringe cape]

I already did

Didn’t work

[lament prairie]

But to be honest, I'm mostly out of answers—I would tell you to ask Pathos, but he's currently trying to get a fix out for the .NET 5.0 issues

I'm sorry I don't know much more

[royal matrix]

still loading...

[fringe cape]

Please tell me when he is available then!

[lament prairie]

You can ping him/message him, but he won't get back to you for a couple days most likely

[fringe cape]

Okay!

[lament prairie]

Might take a while if you have a lot of saves/a lot of mods

[fringe cape]

I’ll ping him

[royal matrix]

says i have

3

[lament prairie]

Hmm, 3 is weird

Are you loading a new save?

Or an existing one?

[royal matrix]

the existing one would not load.

this is a new save

[fringe cape]

Can I have his @ ?

[dire fractal]

I don't believe so. I mean I had used these profiles with the mods and got objects and accomplishments, etc. while using the mods but there weren't any new items. And the game just blacked out and exited entirely back to my desktop whenever I would try to load one of those profiles, I never saw any logs pop up if that's what you mean

[royal matrix]

OMG! IT IS UP! I AM NOW GOING TO GIVE YOU MY FIRST BORN!

SHE IS 40 BUT WHAT THE HECK!

[lament prairie]

Pathoschild#0001

[lament prairie]

Ahahah, and I'm in my 20s, so that could be rough

[lament prairie]

And you were trying to load the saves with SMAPI still installed? SMAPI is what would generate logs

[royal matrix]

ALL OF U ARE SAINTS

[lament prairie]

When I was loading up my modded save that had an issue, it would also crash, but it gave me an error in the SMAPI log that let me figure it out

[fringe cape]

@tired brook Hello! I am having some problems and I was recommended to ping you! Do you know what I should do for my game to work?

[orchid pollen]

Having the same problem! This sucks!

[true oyster]

Hello! I'm getting like, GAME BREAKING levels of lag. Can anyone tell what's causing it?
https://smapi.io/log/20736004adce48bea80ef8215e03e822

[lament prairie]

For more details related to this, we tried resetting game files, uninstalling/reinstalling, and checking if there's another drive, but none of these seemed to be the culprit

[lament prairie]

Have you tried resetting game files already?

[orchid pollen]

If you mean verifying them on Steam, yup. I've installed Net 5.0, I've restarted my computer a numbers of times, I've tried running different versions of SMAPI...

[dire fractal]

Ummmm, I don't know? I'm not a big computer person like I've been trying to learn recently but I still am very very behind. Are you asking if I had deleted all of the mods already but still had SMAPI and tried to load the saves?

[royal matrix]

My 2 cents...that is the message I got and you told me to reset my game

[lament prairie]

Ideally, you could have SMAPI installed (either with or without mods), and try loading a save to get a log file to give us more infomation

[tight spire]

So, new version? but I can't see it on smapi 🧐

[lament prairie]

There's a new version out on smapi.io, yes

[lament prairie]

Yeah, I did mean verifying. Do you have more than one drive, like C: and D:?

[orchid pollen]

Yes. Everything is on D

[lament prairie]

I took a look and didn't see anything obvious. The only mod I'm unfamilar with there is Prepare for New Day. You could try downloading developer SMAPI, which gives more info in logs, to see if anything shows up there, or you could try removing mods selectively to try to narrow it down.

[lament prairie]

It's possible that somehow things are still looking in the wrong place, even if they should all be D:? I'm unfortunately not very familiar with Windows/more technical parts of Windows

[true oyster]

CP animations?

[lament prairie]

One thing you could try is searching your whole computer for Stardew Valley just to douvle-check you don't accidentally have 2 copies of the game installed. There was at least one person here who had that issue

Content Patcher Animations

[true oyster]

OH ok

Thank you.

[orchid pollen]

Nope. All on D:

[wraith ore]

I have a really old version of smapi on my android and was wondering how to get 3.13.1 for my phone.

[gaunt gust]

I think Zane handles the Android SMAPI

[wraith ore]

Zane?

[royal arrow]

yea, you can't get the 3.13.1 on Android, it's on its own version

!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.

[dire fractal]

If I had any idea how to get a log file I totally would...

[wraith ore]

Flip nuggets. Are there any greenhouse mods you know for older versions?

[royal arrow]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[wraith ore]

U know any greenhouse mods for 3.7?

[royal arrow]

offhand, no, but you can check for greenhouse mods that have versions that are from before Dec 20, 2020, since that's when the 1.5 update was released

[wraith ore]

Thx

[royal arrow]

on nexus, you can check the Old Files, if they have been updated

[topaz matrix]

all i know is that pathos is working on a fix which should come in a few days to a week.

[fringe cape]

That’s fine! I can wait!

[lament prairie]

aub, I am not sure Pathos' fix will fix this particular issue, as it's not a .NET 5.0 issue

I believe Pathos is focusing on .NET 5.0 installation related issues

[topaz matrix]

oh

i thought they were have .net issues my bad

[lament prairie]

The installer not being able to find the game is reasonably common, but 95% of the time verifying game files and checking multiple drive issues fixes it

Unfortunately for the remaining few, I am personally out of fixes

It is possible someone more tech-savvy and more Windows-savvy than I will come along and find the fix

[gaunt gust]

yeah, usually it's something like "they're on 1.5.4 still"

this "random files vanishing" is interesting

[lament prairie]

Yeah, that's definitely much more rare than just not being able to find the game

[gaunt gust]

granted, two people total may just be having computer issues

grumbles

one of the "missing System.Numerics" also had random other files missing from his computer

[lament prairie]

For Game Pass users, I don't know if you had this already somewhere, but it seems like they may need to restart the game through Game Pass for it to launch right

Although it seems surprisingly seamless otherwise

[gaunt gust]

yeah they have to start through GamePass

[wanton heart]

Hello! So I found some super cute hair retextures. Their page says that if you want to have both retextures of hers to combine the pngs. Found out all the info on xnb files to pngs but I’m having trouble converting xnb to png and then converting png back into xnb. Also I need some help with combining the two pngs. So in short, what’s the best way to convert xnb to png and then back to xnb and also the best application to combine these two pngs.

[gaunt gust]

and hoping that this is not a bad drive issue, just a really unlucky failure of a few sectors

[lament prairie]

!xnb

[native dragon]

@crystal pasture XNB mods often break the game and are not recommended. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods for more info (and a list of Content Patcher alternatives), and https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files to fix problems caused by XNB mods. For mod creators, see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Editing_XNB_files for help unpacking & editing them (including for use with Content Patcher).

[gaunt gust]

!cp use CP

[native dragon]

@crystal pasture Content Patcher (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1915) is a mod which loads content packs to change the game's images and data without replacing XNB files. If you want to make mods using Content Patcher, start at https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Content_Patcher.

[lament prairie]

I don't know eactly what you're trying, but it seems rough

To combine PNGs you need an image editor

!software

[native dragon]

Here's a list of software for pixel art and JSON text editors we recommend: https://gist.github.com/paradigmnomad/675687bdfa1fb1e1c9c001f23475e00f

For making SMAPI (C#) mods, see the Requirements section here for which IDE to install https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/Get_Started#Get_started.

[crystal pasture]

So retexturing isn't recommened..?

[lament prairie]

Go for the pixel art editors

No, you can do it with Content Patcher

[gaunt gust]

you techincally don't need to combine the pictures

you can just set the from and to fields in CP usefully

[lament prairie]

xnbs may break your game/are not recommended

[crystal pasture]

I read that but can't seem to figure it out lol

Like I can't figure out how to use content patcher

[gaunt gust]

but it helps to have a good image editor to figure out what to give CP

[lament prairie]

Find an hairs mod that uses content patcher

Replace their png with the one you want

You might need to edit some coordinates

[crystal pasture]

Omg that's so smart LOL

[lament prairie]

But that should get you a good place to start

[crystal pasture]

Thank you. That's all I was wanting to do was retexture some stuff with the cute hair retextures I found

[lament prairie]

Also, it sounds like you want a retexture, so try not to get the ones that are labeled "non-replacing"

If you want to discuss further/run into issues, #making-mods-general is full of people with lots of Content Patcher experience

[crystal pasture]

Thank you so much

[lament prairie]

I say this mostly because using-mods has been flooded with tech support recently

[shell jackal]

Yah... I updated all my mods, got the .net, went to start the game... And realized I hadn't updated Stardew yet. xD Big brain moment there...

[dire fractal]

https://smapi.io/log/4d9a887c79664461a4b1b42ab9e0fd10 this is the link to the log file that was called SMAPI latest

[lament prairie]

Okay, so this one is from before Stardew Valley updated

(It's also totally clean, so I don't see anything obviously wrong there)

However! You do have json assets installed

Which could mean you have modded items in your game

Also you have Stardew Valley Expanded installed, which probably cannot be uninstalled by removing it from the mods folder

It has a specific uninstall process detailed in its wiki

[dire fractal]

crap, why isnt it showing the latest one when I just tried loading it and it didnt work?

[lament prairie]

Did you get a console pop up, like command prompt?

A black window with a bunch of text

[dire fractal]

Nope

[lament prairie]

Okay, that might mean SMAPI isn't installed

How are you launching the game?

[dire fractal]

By clicking on its icon on my desktop or directly from steam

[gaunt gust]

can you launch by clicking the smapi icon instead?

[dire fractal]

I don't have one, I've never seen one on my desktop or anything even when I was playing with smapi and mods just fine.

[lament prairie]

If you can't do that, go to Steam and click this button to find your game folder, then launch StardewModdingAPI.exe

You get this menu by right clicking on the game name

[raven loom]

hi did u solve this issue 😣? i rlly want to use cafe naver as their mods fit my taste but i haven’t been able to verify my account

[dire fractal]

It keeps telling me it's not possible to install or something beause I don't have .NET installed but I do

[lament prairie]

A common problem! Have you had this problem already, and have you tried any fixes?

Step 1 is verifying you definitely absolutely downloaded Desktop Runtime 5.0.12 and not any other version, because it needs exactly that version

Step 2 is asking your computer whether it thinks it has .NET 5.0 installed by running dotnet --info in Command Prompt

[dire fractal]

Okay did everything and then went to run the smapi installer and it says this on the command screen "Oops! The installer couldn't delete C:\Users\shelb\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\ErrorLogs: [IOException] The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\shelb\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\ErrorLogs' because it is being used by another process..
Try rebooting your computer and then run the installer again. If that doesn't work, try deleting it yourself then press any key to retry."

[lament prairie]

You seem to have the error log open

If you close whatver has the error log open, you can fix that, or rebooting should fix

[dire fractal]

I have no idea what it was open on, but I closed everything and that part finally worked. Now to see if I can figure out whats wrong next lol

[naive drum]

5.0.11 also works and in fact on mac 5.0.11 is the only one that works

because...macs, i guess

[lament prairie]

Yeah but I'm like 99% sure shelbs is on Windows

Also I hear it's because Microsoft 😛

Also also it's just M1 Macs

[dire fractal]

You are 100% correct, I am on Windows

Holy crap y'all are magic...

I dont have a firstborn

But my turtle is yours

[lament prairie]

Do your saves load now, or are we still on step "try to get a log"?

Also, I'm a grad student, no one should be handing me other life forms to be responsible for 😛

[dire fractal]

They loaded! It said it removed content to prevent a crash and to go to SMAPI something which I guess would be about all the mods I deleted... Idk how it happened but thank you! and good luck in grad school!!!

[lament prairie]

Thanks! Yeah, the mods you deleted are probably sad about being suddenly gone

You can either put them back or go through and fix things in the saves

[dire fractal]

If I put them all back on will it do the same issue of not loading those saves?

[lament prairie]

It shouldn't, but even if there are issues the log will tell you what's gone wrong

If you want people to help you puzzle it out, you can post the log here, or you can read through the log yourself (most of it's relatively readable)

Lenne has a quote somewhere with an annotated log

Navigate to the folder the exe is in, then right click on the blank space

can some help me

my stardew won't open

Windows 10 Pro

I have stardew version 1.5.5 and Beta smapi 13.0 .1

ty

still having issue

[dire fractal]

https://smapi.io/log/0d15c126c2ae490b96e05d5646159872 Okay I lied. I thought I had it figured out but I re-downloaded all the mods again and put them in my game folder and then the same problem from before happened. This is the log. Does it show why my mods aren't working now?

[gentle glen]

ugh

[naive drum]

You have no mods installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods, which is your actual mods folder.

[gentle glen]

still can't get my smapi to work

can some help me

the smapi that send me open it doesn't work

[dire fractal]

how dumb of me... thank you for helping me

[gentle glen]

No

nothing happen

Finally got something

Oakie now my smapi is finally opening and i see i have updates

[pine glacier]

my smap 1.13 won't open it asks me which file i should open smapi with? anyone know to fix??

this

1.12 works fine for me but just 1.13 doesn't

even the windows files say the same thing though?

i don't really get it on how to use that?

alright

what's next?

i don't have that bat file but i think i found something similar

is this like the same same?

oh

i guess i need to download that thing on the link, right?

the link on the the windows bat file that i need to download

yes! that's the one

after i downloaded this though? do i need to re download smapi, or is it fine then?

okay, thank you for helping!

[lapis turtle]

does anyone know why artisan valley isn't working?

like the espresso machine and sorbet machine

[lament prairie]

did you get the dga version

dga ppja mods are basically nonfunctional

for whatever reason they were released, as far as I can tell, without testing

other than that, no idea

[lethal cairn]

Do you guys recommend updating mods to 1.5.5? I have seen bad things bout it, so I am asking herE

[naive drum]

i'd recommend it

main things that people come in here about: 1. stardew valley uses a new framework now so you might have to install .net 5 desktop runtime
2. pytk and tmxl temporarily have their up-to-date versions live on the forums now and this sometimes confuses people
3. ui info suite's update is on github not nexus and is called ui info suite 2

oh, and vortex stopped working with stardew valley, but it wasn't recommended anyway because it deletes manifest files sometimes which breaks mods

[lament prairie]

Also I don't think it's really feasible to not update

Steam forces updates I believe

[naive drum]

yeah

[lethal cairn]

Oh-

Ok :')

[naive drum]

the pyTK and TMXL things are practically stardew update tradition

[lethal cairn]

Ig imma hope to the RAM gods that my pc can handle it lol

[flint tinsel]

good morning does anyone know if npc adventurer will be back ???

[deft cosmos]

.net 5.0.12 is installed, using vortex, disabled all mods expect smapi, all available mod updates are done, game wont run, game only runs if i remove the smapi steam launch command... whats the issue?

[lethal cairn]

1.5.5?

[dire fractal]

Vortex doesn't work with the new Smapi. Install it manually.

[deft cosmos]

vortex installed smapi seemingly fine.... welp guess ill have to wait then, not going back to installing and updating mods manually.. thats the whole reason i bothered using vortex in the first place.

[lethal cairn]

I'm scared that my mods won't work.. ik some aren't going to update to 1.5.5 yet, so I wanna hold out on that

[lament prairie]

Literally almost everything has been updated

I think the only major thing I've seen is Item Bags

[lethal cairn]

Oh?

Ok then

I haven't played in a few dayss

I am not looking forward to an hour of replacing 88 files :')

[deft cosmos]

i had a ton of mods that werent/havent been updated...

[naive drum]

yeah, a lot of mods just work anyway with no update necessary

[lapis turtle]

whta the dga version i just downloaded the PPJA version on nexusmods

[lament prairie]

Well idk PPJA that well. Is it a content pack for Json Assets or Dynamic Game Assets?

Those are the two frameworks for adding items

[lapis turtle]

json

[naive drum]

ok that's the working version then

[lapis turtle]

hmm machines like espesse machines and sorbet machine aren't working though

[clear eagle]

Do you have pfm?

Producer Framework Mod

[lapis turtle]

yes

those are the list of m mods

[clear eagle]

Hmm, can we get a log?

!log

[native dragon]

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

[naive drum]

you might like to install Lookup Anything - it'll let you look up recipes in-game

[lapis turtle]

https://smapi.io/log/318330b89940432cb777dcc9f37609cb

the log

[naive drum]

looks like everything is loaded fine, but some of your PPJA components are out of date - i'd recommend double-checking the recipe you're trying to do

if you're clicking on it manually, maybe try with Automate, since machines that take multiple inputs at once care about which one is the one you click them with?

[lapis turtle]

wait I'm new to this does machines like espresso machines reqire recipes?

[naive drum]

e.g. if a recipe takes strawberry + honey + lemon and lemon is first, clicking on it with honey or with strawberry wont do anything

machines have recipes - set inputs to make set outputs

Any Fruit -> Jelly in the preserves jar is a recipe

[lapis turtle]

ahhh

but like for mods where can we see the recipes?

[naive drum]

you can either check mouseypound's database here https://mouseypounds.github.io/ppja-ref/ or use the Lookup Anything mod to display recipes in-game

[lapis turtle]

[shy orbit]

you need the .net 5 as far as i know, microsoft has install instructions for various linux distros https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux (i managed to launch the game with smapi without .net 5 after installing smapi manually, but not sure if it would cause problems later)

[bright venture]

hi, i added these mods to my game and suddenly a second set of save files appeared, they all look like copies of my existing save files. would it be ok to delete the duplicated save files?

[errant bridge]

Remove getglam

[bright venture]

ok

thanks, that did the trick

[shy orbit]

huh. what does getglam do to make that happen?

[bold elk]

does recolour mod also affects interiors? like i saw one mod daisy niko earthly recolour

[neat plaza]

depends on the recolour

I think Starblue affects everything, even the UI.

[pale locust]

hi! so sorry to just barge in unannounced, but i have no idea how to fix this 😦 does anyone have a clue what might have gone wrong?

[naive drum]

looks like you need to update your game and your SMAPI

[boreal hemlock]

I just was going to ask about the same thing

[naive drum]

stardew valley updated to 1.5.5 a few days ago

and smapi's been on 3.12.8 for a while and updated to 3.13.1 a few days ago

[pale locust]

alright! i'll try to do that right now

how do you update SMAPI tho?

[naive drum]

Download it again from the smapi.io website and run the installer again!

[pale locust]

thank you 🙂 i'll try to update if things go smoothly

i meant ** : )

But app closes instantly after launch

[ivory ruin]

Hi, just joined here and im trying to use mods for the first time. i have the game thorugh the xbox game pass. was able to install the mods and smapi without a issue. but when i when i try to load stardewmoddingapi i get a message saying windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. and im not sure what to do now

[limpid dove]

hello, how do you run smapi with stardew valley from xbox game pass - dude cant run even with admin rights

[naive drum]

there's a "modding enabled" switch uh....somewhere?

[ivory ruin]

i have modding enabled in the gmae pass

[naive drum]

try renaming stardewmoddingapi to Stardew Valley

and that's...the extent of gamepass-specific troubleshooting knowledge so far :p gamepass has been a thing for two days

[ivory ruin]

theres a file thats already named stardew valley and the same message pops when i try to run that one

but if i load the game through the xbox app it runs fine..but no mods

hi! im super new to mods, i just learned tonight. if i am using the unofficial version of the PTYK mod, do i have to take out the faulty one in the mod folder?

[neat plaza]

yes

[versed ivy]

It's best practice to only have the latest version of mods in your mods folder. You avoid stupid errors

Unless you're super knowledgeable and develop shit on your own

[elder temple]

thank you, that makes sense! appreciate it!

[pseudo tartan]

(and @clear eagle since you brought this to my attention) after renaming the files, you should launch the game through the Xbox app. doubling clicking the .exe file won't work.

Hi, i'm from the nexus page for download SMAPI. I have the problem of downloading SMAPI 3.13 for SDV 15.5 beta on "Oops! You must have .NET 5 (desktop x64) to use SMAPI" even though I have already installed that NET 5 SDK. Could you help me fixing this, thanks. (I am using MAC OS M1)

[naive drum]

theres a specific version you need because youre on an m1 mac

it's not the latest, because reasons.

[strange carbon]

Fixed it! Thanks

[muted pagoda]

yeah, I had some program somehow muting whatever sdv (and sdv alone apparently) uses to make sounds, I ended up breaking it loose by changing the sound format in the sound driver (which prompted 'A program is using this device, if you continue, it might stop working') despite nothing playing sound at the time. bizzare that this remained that way over a reboot, which I would have expected to clear any such thing.

[lucid fog]

hi! does anybody know if mods are allowed on xbox game pass stardew valley? im trying to download multiplayer mod to play with some more friends but once i'm having some issues

i clicked the allow modifications option on the xbox app

my issue is, once i click the stardewmoddingAPI in the game folder, a message pops up saying windows does not have permission to open the file

[limpid cobalt]

HEY!

Need some help. So I have Mac OS and was playing with Mods.
My friend helped me to do this, it was "MONO" & "SCAMPI" that I used.

Once I installed the new update, all my mods stopped working. I have been trying to get it to work. I get the error message "Oops! You must have .NET 5 installed to use SMAPI: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download"

Does this mean that "MONO" is obsolete when trying to run Scampi now? and I need to have .NET5 thing instead?

[sudden finch]

is smapi 1.15.5 out?

[weak breach]

yes!

wait

u said smapi

[sudden finch]

yup

[weak breach]

SNDJSNS um theres a version out for 1.5.5

[dire fractal]

Can anyone help me figure out how to get PPJA stuff to work with the updated versions?

[shadow gale]

Has anybody else started seeing big weird multi-line gaps in the SMAPI console after the 1.5.5 update or is it something wrong on my end

[shell jackal]

It's normal. They're not sure why it's happening but it's just smapi being weird. Nothing bad happening

[cold kettle]

My SMAPI does not run, it just closes by itself after loading a bit

what do I do ?

[limpid cobalt]

Can anyone help?

[upbeat patrol]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[upbeat patrol]

Yes, that's right, you need NET 5.0 . I'm not a MacOS expert but there seems to be an issue with the current download from Microsoft and you need another one. This was explained here yesterday.

[cold kettle]

another one ?

[shadow gale]

Yeah it wasn't affecting anything except my need for order 🤣

Just annoying

[upbeat patrol]

The SMAPI installation guide for MAC is here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Mac_Pictorial_Guide

[sleek pawn]

Can someone help me with this error message in the smapi log? Seems to me like there's an issue with a hard-coded link, because my username is definitely not "Matt"...

[meager dew]

I've seen that too. Went away once I got all my mods updated properly, Though, I haven't played a heap load to really confirm

[upbeat patrol]

That's debug output, the paths are source file paths on the system where the mod was compiled. Can you provide the full log?

[sleek pawn]

I hope it's not about not-updated mods, because i went through all of them last night 😅

[meager dew]

it's possible line sprinklers is broken in the latest updated.
It was last updated a year ago

[sleek pawn]

in about 20 minutes, just started a new run and am on my first day. there haven't been other errors so far though, except for some cosmetic only empty folders

[meager dew]

your whole SMAPI log would be helpful

[sleek pawn]

hmm, that'd be sad... worked well before the 64bit switch^^

[sleek pawn]

yeah i know, I'll upload once the day is over and i can save&leave

[pseudo sequoia]

hello can anyone help me? I didn't understand what this log meant...
https://smapi.io/log/f73ea6f3e68d4929be3539c03f807e02

[pseudo sequoia]

I've tried removing all but a few mods to avoid possible mod conflicts, but to no avail.

[chrome cosmos]

better doors just seems to be broken in 1.5.5

[pseudo sequoia]

Oh...I was hoping that wasn't the only one...thanks for letting me know😭

[shadow gale]

Daily Screenshot is broken - it works fine the first time you walk out onto the farm in a play session, but every time thereafter it fails to write the save file and keeps retrying

[limpid cobalt]

I am wandering if the MONO isn't compatible with the new update.

[upbeat patrol]

SDV 1.5.5 doesn't use Mono anymore, the runtime is .NET 5.0 now.

[limpid cobalt]

THANKS

[copper mural]

Hi, I recently updated SMAPI and installed .NET 5 on my computer, but when i try to run it the console opens temporarily and force quit itself, anyone know the solution to this? Thanks alot

im running Windows 11 on Mac m1

the old SMAPI used to work

[meager dew]

I'm not a MAC user so can't really help but maybe this can https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Mac_Pictorial_Guide

I can say, mine did that on Windows so I had to reinstall SMAPI last

[stray vine]

A question about using mods, Ive been using mods before but I guess I just totally uninstalled everything except stardew valley, now I have this screen when I want to re install smapi
I havent seen this before, so, do I just download the thing its telling me to download?

[sleek pawn]

@meager dew @upbeat patrol alright, here we go: https://smapi.io/log/399da1c6d4264eab98d1e72938689eea

[clear eagle]

you need to install .NET 5.0 Desktop Runtime x64

[copper mural]

Yeah, thanks but I could actually run it on my OS system, it just didnt work on my Windows 11 using PD

[sleek pawn]

and now i remember why i had better artisan goods still installed until recently 😅

[stray vine]

Im doing that right now, yeah
But why have I not had to do this before?

[clear eagle]

It's because Stardew Valley is 64bit now

[stray vine]

Ah alright

Thanks

[clear eagle]

(There's only like 0.31% of 32bit users, anyway, so it's better to upgrade to 64bit so mod users can avoid OOM errors)

[upbeat patrol]

Seems that some mods are missing:
14:08:57 ERROR SMAPI Skipped mods
14:08:57 ERROR SMAPI --------------------------------------------------
14:08:57 ERROR SMAPI These mods could not be added to your game.
14:08:57 ERROR SMAPI - [CP] Better Artisan Goods\assets because it's an empty folder.
14:08:57 ERROR SMAPI - [CP] Boogie Clean Crafting Menu\assets because it's an empty folder.

14:08:57 ERROR SMAPI - RangeDisplay\assets because it's an empty folder.

[sleek pawn]

somehow, uninstalling them and installing again doesn't do a thing...

though, seasonal outfits and artisan goods are cosmetic/graphic changes only... i was only really confused/surprised about the line sprinkler thing, because that mod actually does something

[copper mural]

anyone playing SMAPI on Windows 11 using Mac M1 computer? I know this is odd, but mines were not working since I upgrade it..

[clear eagle]

Hmm, have you already installed .Net 5.0 desktop runtime x64?

[copper mural]

I've tried X86 and Arm64

[sleek pawn]

the artisan stuff is fixed now, i hadn't realised that the Better Crops and Artisan Goods needed the other artisan mod, because it doesn't say so on nexus...

[copper mural]

I thought x64 are for old computers

[meager dew]

are you on an ARM processor?
If not you'd want x64

[clear eagle]

It's reverse. x86 are for old computers aka 32bit computers

[meager dew]

in someone's infinite wisdom x86 is 32 bit and x64 is 64 bit
I'm sure there is a reason I don't know about to why that is

[copper mural]

ohhh thank you lemme try

lol

[sleek pawn]

the error message about range display makes no sense, because it works as intended...

[meager dew]

it's saying the assets folder is empty

[shy orbit]

i'd guess it's being loaded from some other folder

the folder probably shows on the log if you want to know

!log

[native dragon]

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

[upbeat patrol]

The log isn't very helpful about the sprinklers, admittedly... All your mods are uptodate und the reason for the NullReferenceException is unknown...

[shy orbit]

oh sorry, i see you posted the log already

[sleek pawn]

i guess it's like you suggested earlier, that the mod is simply not updated anymore/not ported to 64bit yet...

[sleek pawn]

no worries 🙂

ooooh, found one issue... apparently i already replaced RangeDisplay with RangeHighlight a while ago, but vortex didn't delete the Display folder... it's just empty now

[shy orbit]

Range Highlight (from Mods\RangeHighlight\RangeHighlight.dll) this probably

ah

[sleek pawn]

checking...

[upbeat patrol]

Ah, Vortex, that explains the empty folders 🙂

[sleek pawn]

hey, vortex is not THAT bad 😛

[meager dew]

i just use it to download, and then manually move folders over

[sleek pawn]

ok, RangeDisplay error is gone

ok, all that's left is the allegedly empty seasonal outfits folder...

which is disabled in vortex, because for this (sve profile) i have the sve version enabled...

so, all errors solved, and line sprinklers might not be working. will see once i can make some

[stray vine]

Installed the thing and restarted my PC, but Im still getting this

[sleek pawn]

strange, that solved it for me yesterday...

did you get the console app or desktop app one?

[upbeat patrol]

Do you know how to start cmd or powershell?

[stray vine]

I do

[upbeat patrol]

Then try dotnet --info

[meager dew]

you don't want the core one

that's what I recall from the people who actually know wht's going on

[upbeat patrol]

You have the x86 version of dotnet in path. You might need to reorder paths.

[stray vine]

Idk I clicked "Download x64"

[upbeat patrol]

What does path say?

[stray vine]

Might be something with my browser wait

I have it set up to where all my downloads download at D:/

[versed shuttle]

someone have an infinite energy mod send an dm

[meager dew]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_.NET_5.0_Troubleshooting

[stray vine]

I guess I was wrong, I just clicked the "open file location" button on the download and it took me to C:

[upbeat patrol]

Sorry, I mean the output of path in cmd

[stray vine]

Did dotnet --info
its the same thing yet again

[upbeat patrol]

I think you have C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet in path before C:\Program Files\dotnet but we need to check that

[stray vine]

I do, it says
.NET Core runtimes installed:
Microsoft.NETCore.App 3.1.20 [C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]
Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 3.1.20 [C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App]

[meager dew]

the wiki link I put in shows you how to fix that

[stray vine]

Cant I just drag the "dotnet" folder out of my "Program Files(x86) into my "Local Disck(C:)"?

[meager dew]

no

the issue is you don't want to use the x86 folder

because those are all 32 bit versions

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_.NET_5.0_Troubleshooting#Installer_Doesn.27t_Recognize_.NET_5.0
This walks you through fixing it

[stray vine]

Alright I did the thing

I moved the one without the 86 above the one with the 86

Now what

[upbeat patrol]

Now starting the SMAPI installer should work.

[stray vine]

I dont need to restart my PC?

[meager dew]

you could to that dotnet --info again

[upbeat patrol]

No, environment changes are applied immediately.

Use a new cmd.exe for dotnet --info

[stray vine]

Huzzah it has worked

I was able to download SMAPI now

Thanks guys

[upbeat patrol]

Happy mod updating 🙂

[clear eagle]

I love how you say happy mod updating instead of happy playing

A ton of errors incoming

[sleek pawn]

also am using https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5450 does it break if i use both

[sleek pawn]

looks like it's already working. installing as usual...

[stray vine]

Agonising

Just copied what I got from the cmd prompt when I installed SMAPI

[neat plaza]

did you include the ""'s?

[lucid matrix]

i’m pretty sure you can use both, just make sure overwrite the seasonal outfits portraits w the anime ones

[sleek pawn]

well, you have to decide which portraits to take... can't have the portraits from the outfits mod AND the anime ones

[stray vine]

I guess so, I mean, I just copied the thing the CMD prompt gave me, so yea the "" should be there

[bold elk]

i am new so idk how to do

[stray vine]

One of the " was missing

[sleek pawn]

classic 😄

[bold elk]

also he/she didnt provided how to install like coping files to where

thats same for all mods? as far i know most mods are in the mods folder

[clear eagle]

All mods are in mods folder

[bold elk]

oh

[clear eagle]

(Never ever use xnb mods and you'll be fine)

[bold elk]

oh xnb i was confused lol

so that was for xnb

[clear eagle]

Yea, it's always better to use CP mods/conversations

[shell jackal]

The only time it's okay to use XNB files is if they are going into the Portraiture mod.

[bold elk]

ok thanks

also how do i overwrite portraits

[neat plaza]

with cp?

[shell jackal]

Yah, CP usually.

[bold elk]

yes content patcher mods

[neat plaza]

!cp

[native dragon]

Content Patcher (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1915) is a mod which loads content packs to change the game's images and data without replacing XNB files. If you want to make mods using Content Patcher, start at https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Content_Patcher.

[stray vine]

No UI info Suite update for 1.5

An easy way is to take a CP portrait mod and just replace the portrait in the mod with the one you want to use. Just make sure they have the same name

Hi all, I'm trying to make SMAPI work on my SV on Windows 10.

My logs are just this: https://smapi.io/log/1425e11487414096873b21a9d6c60f19 I tried reinstalling the game from scratch but same thing happens. By the way I can open SV without SMAPI just fine... Can you help me please? Thank you

[clear eagle]

It's in Stardew Valley folder

[dire fractal]

And how do I find that?

[clear eagle]

Do you have any File Manager?

[digital belfry]

No, I just updated Stardew Valley.runtimeconfig.json and enabled developer mode because I thought there would be more logs 😓

[azure sigil]

i just learnt theres extra files for stardew valley on gamepass! idk if this is a good dscovery or not but yay!

[dire fractal]

Just the Standard one.

[clear eagle]

As soon as you enter file manager, you can find it along with other folders like Android, Pictures etc.

[minor wyvern]

Are there any mods for male or unisex clothing?

[winged kernel]

yes, this is moddrop

[lament prairie]

Can I see your file manager folders?

[winged kernel]

uh ok this time it worked, here: https://smapi.io/log/3782dcb165ed4385b295959de10b9304
but it wasn't a crash log it's just smapi latest. like i said, stardew valley runs and i can still play just fine! but i can't manage my mods

[loud inlet]

to test if the mod is in ur game you talk to shane for the first time in a save he doesnt have the line change he's supposed to-

[winged kernel]

i cannot remove family planning which seems to be causing errors, but it was sayign that in the console for a bit before the local file 986 thing

The one that

sorry

The one that's opening with command prompt

It's not quite the same, but the 1st one

[neat plaza]

are you able to remove mods manually?

like delete from the mod folder?

[lament prairie]

Go to your game folder, then open command prompt

Here's traces from your log just in case

[lucid fog]

guys any news on mods working on xbox game pass game version?

[neat plaza]

they work

and have pretty much since release

[lament prairie]

1. Open the game folder folder.
2. Hold shift and right-click on the folder background.
3. Click the option that says Open in PowerShell.
4. Run ./StardewModdingAPI.exe
5. Now if it crashes, the window should stay open so you can see the error.
6. Post a screenshot of the full window when it shows the error here.

[lucid fog]

i can't open the API in the game folder :((

says windows doesn't have permission

[clear eagle]

For game pass

[lament prairie]

Are you on game pass

[lucid fog]

thanks!

[winged kernel]

ok i removed family planning from the mods folder but now the game won't start at all

[lucid fog]

lovely community ❤️

[clear eagle]

And don't forget to run Stardew Valley via Xbox Game Pass or it wont work

[winged kernel]

put it back in and it still wont start :/

so i mightve just fucked up real bad and now am unable to play LMAO whoops

[dire fractal]

Found it. :)

[winged kernel]

ok i can still run it from steam without mods so at least there's that

[lucid fog]

won't let me rename the SMAPI to Stardew Valley hmm ://

says element is no longer there

[loud inlet]

the line comes up as this when im pretty sure its meant to have '..?' according to the website

[lament prairie]

idk, are you using xnb mods?

[loud inlet]

if this is directed at me then nope i dont

[lament prairie]

Wait also, that's not the first Shane Dialogue

He should welcome you to the valley

Grouchily

I believe

[loud inlet]

thats the first time ive talked to him though-

[lament prairie]

I'm confused bc his portrait is different

[loud inlet]

ohh i have a portrait mod-

[clear eagle]

It's introduction dialogue.

[lament prairie]

That's his Monday dialogue, hmm

[digital belfry]

Thanks! That was detailed. Here is the screenshot: Unfortunately not much information still...

[lament prairie]
