VS should handle it for you, if you've forked from someone

But if not, check the IDE reference on the wiki

How can I use mods?

[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

[dire fractal]

Thanks!

[craggy edge]

I figured out the problem!! So... I was super tired last night and the second it froze I assumed something was wrong. Turns out it just took a while to save initially and load, then it works fine. Also clicking away from Stardew Valley leaves the screen frozen until you click back on it (I have multiple monitors).

TL;DR - I am dumb. Also thank you for helping everyone, @gaunt gust !! And @tired brook too. You are both awesome.

[gaunt gust]

You may also need to migrate that project to 1.5.5. Wiki has a migration guide.

THANK U

U ARE AMAZING

[grim glacier]

no problem, i just remembered it from looking through the nexus

[dire fractal]

I install him and take him off

now I have invisible spaces in my inventory

:')

[grim glacier]

fun

i also have a small question, i'm swapping out portraits and the mod doesn't cover all the files. do i just paste the missing original files?

(i did back up the original portraits)

[chrome cosmos]

dont use xnb portraits, reset your content file

!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 :)

[grim glacier]

ok

[stray spire]

anyone wanna recommend some essential immersion mods?

[umbral swallow]

uuh can someone tell me what to do with the content patcher file

im new to modding

and the mod i wanted requires that

[gaunt gust]

Unzip into the mods folder as well

[umbral swallow]

many thanks comrade

[neon roost]

Hi again! All sorted, the mod was More Grass by Satozaki on Nexus Mods. Luckily this is a mod I was planning on uninstalling regardless, so I've just deleted it entirely. Is there a way to tip you for your help? I appreciate the time taken!

[tired brook]

There's some options under 'support SMAPI' at https://smapi.io/, but there's no need; I'm happy to help! I suggest reporting it on the More Grass page too so the author can look into it.

[neon roost]

I'll report it now, thank you!

does anyone have a link to stardew expanded? It keeps saying that i have the wrong version.

[dire fractal]

out of curiosity, what's the biggest mod farm that works on 1.5? (besides giga farm)

giga farm seems cool but seems somewhat buggy, with stuff like animals not being able to be placed on the farm extensions

[harsh echo]

Who has tried the stardew valley expanded mod and can you recommend it?

[dense wasp]

how do i use a rar file

[gaunt gust]

!unzip

[native dragon]

@dense wasp 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.

[brave portal]

i was wondering if anyone knew how to fix a save not loading. Only my current save wont load and kicks be back to the starting screen, all my other saves work. I have smapi, content patcher and a few appearance changing mods

[dire fractal]

Me! In android

[umbral swallow]

How do you configure files in android?

[dire fractal]

Using Smapi android version!

[dawn halo]

had a genius moment and thought i had downloaded the main expanded file, but what i did was download all the additional mods needed and forgot the main one. i started playing for like 20 min and realized it wasnt installed so i quit. do i HAVE to start a new save file now that ive added the main expanded file or can i continue the file i started yesterday?

[gaunt gust]

!saves revert a day

[native dragon]

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

[umbral swallow]

How? I'm specifically asking for this one, it's the seasonal outfits mod.

also you're referring to the smapi installer or the smapi stardew valley app itself?

[dire fractal]

You have smapi installer? You can configure all mods with that

[umbral swallow]

ohh i just uninstalled it lol, i'll install it again

[dire fractal]

Lol xd

[gaunt gust]

You'll likely need to reset the terrain features. Otherwise fine

[#5793] "A list of common mod update questions:

1. PyTK and TMXLoader still work in 1.5.6, but you need to get the unofficial versions linked from here: https://smapi.io/mods/#PyTK (for PyTK) and https://smapi.io/mods/#TMXL_Map_Toolkit (for TMXL) As of versions unofficial.1-strobe, download the 1st file in the forum post for PyTK, and the 2nd file for TXMLoader. (If these get another unofficial update, you may need to read the forum post for details.)
2. UI Info Suite does not work in 1.5.5+. Use UI Info Suite 2, which can be found here: https://github.com/Annosz/UIInfoSuite2/releases. Make sure not to download the source code.
3. NPC Adventures is broken for 1.5.5+ and no longer being maintained.
4. Custom Music has an unofficial update linked here: https://smapi.io/mods/#Custom_Music (4th zip file on forum post) If you're having issues with music starting to play and then stopping, try this update.
5. Stardew Valley Expanded still works in 1.5.6. Make sure you have all of its components and all of its dependencies updated. Also, it bundles a version of Custom Music, so you may want to delete that before installing." - @lament prairie (05 Dec 2021 @ 09:48:16 PM UTC)

[crisp dock]

If i have like 40 random mods and my friend has the same 40 random mods, can we play together?

[errant locust]

@gaunt gust I can look into upgrading the mod for 1.5.5. However, the mod still works just fine in-game. And the source code should still compile, prior to performing any compatibility related changes, right? Because the mod uses 3.3.0 of the ModBuildConfig package:

So I feel like trying to migrate the mod to 1.5.5 because I can even get it to compile in the first place is just asking for trouble.

[robust bison]

!mpmods

[native dragon]

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

[gaunt gust]

It's really straightforward, usually!

Or you can go get old versions of the game and smapi and net framework

[errant locust]

Ok, well here goes nothing.

I'll try upgrading it to 4.0.0 and see what happens.

Thank you.

[floral vault]

is smapi compatible with someone not using smapi?

[floral vault]

oh ok thanks

[floral vault]

this doesnt really answer my question, im asking if i have smapi, and 1 or 2 random mods that only affect me, will my friend who doesnt have smapi be able to join?

[gloomy latch]

i forgot how to update content patcher, do i just delete the old file & replace it w the new one or do i need to move out a config file?

[gaunt gust]

Just overwrite the directory

I don't think it matters for CP

[unreal raptor]

So you’re asking if vanilla players can play with modded players? I think that might depend on what mods you have, but I think it would be alright.

[floral vault]

ok thanks!

i was thinking i could get a mod that changes what some stuff looks like an thats it

[gloomy latch]

okay tysm!

[gaunt gust]

Try it. I think it should work, but I'm not sure

[unreal raptor]

If it doesn’t seem to be working, then either your friend needs to get the mods as well or you would have to disable your mods during the times when you play together. (@ beans)

[spark vector]

hi can someone help me with a problem? I just installed some mods and when I opened the game it just poped up with a lot of zoom, it doesn't matter if I change it to windowed version or full screen version, even with the least amount of zoom it is still too big to play, is there a way to solve this? I have it with smapi and content patcher

[gaunt gust]

[native dragon]

@spark vector If your resolution is messed up try deleting startup_preferences This can be found on Windows at %appdata% > Stardew Valley > it's in that folder, or C:\Users\Yourwindowsnamehere\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley or for Mac can be found at ~/.config/StardewValley To get here you'll want to go to your desktop, then in the menu bar select Go -> Go to Folder...

[gloomy latch]

i forgot how to update smapi omg

[robust bison]

same as installing

[dawn halo]

awesome thanks -- its working! 🙂

[dire fractal]

Is It possible to add mods mid way through

[gaunt gust]

Yes. Some may have special instructions

If you add a mod with JA you may have json shuffled items

[dire fractal]

Ok thanks

[slender pike]

actually i have a question about that
is it better to delete the old smapi and then install the new one, or can i just install the new onoe and let it overwrite the old one?
ive been doing the former just to be safe, but i was curious

[dire fractal]

Is it safe to edit the save while using mods

[gaunt gust]

Installer will clean up previous versions of smapi.

[gaunt gust]

There are mods that will do most things you would want to do while save editing

[dire fractal]

Yeah I guess

[gaunt gust]

Often easier to just use cjb item spawner or event repeater or the debug commands

[halcyon leaf]

what's the tmxl hotkey? i thought it was f2 but that doesn't do anything, any other suggestions?

[dire fractal]

@gaunt gust can you access that on mobile and if you can how

If you knw of course

[late nebula]

It might have a config option in the mods folder? I can't recall.

[slender pike]

does anyone know where these portraits are from?

@dire fractal 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.

Quick question/bugreport for @jagged hound.
In the current build of your fishing overhaul (the most recent one I downloaded earlier today on nexus mods)
For some reason as my fishing streak increases so does my chance to catch trash. I know before it was the other way around so I don't think it was intended. I'll post a video here shortly about it

[dire fractal]

Cheers

[halcyon leaf]

i'll take a look thanks

[late nebula]

The links at the bottom of the page take you to the portraits which are naver mods.

Need a log in for them.

[slender pike]

ahhh i see
ok thats what was really confusing me because naver webpages dont load in my browser lmao

[slender pike]

am i allowed to ask if anyone has access to these files and can send them to me?
i get if having others download files for me isnt allowed tho

[rich egret]

(What isn't shown is the like... 9 catches of trash in a row before I took this recording)

[late nebula]

Mostly just gotta find someone willing to help you out. They can send it in DMs, but I wouldn't post it here as that might be seen as distribution.

I tried to make a Naver account and got myself banned so I gave up.

I also can't be bothered to translate them or convert the xnb ones to CP so meh

[dire fractal]

Do you need virtual keyboard it keeps crashing my game

[jagged hound]

i'll take a look, but that's definitely unusual. do the chances look okay in your settings? (nothing's negative?)

[rich egret]

nothing is negative yeah I can show you them just gimme a bit

[simple timber]

Um hi ;w; i tried to install the SV expanded mod within the past couple days, even used a video and all and it seems like i did everything right? i also installed one called ridgeside village. and now i am not sure if i did something wrong or if my pc just cannot handle it (not really a tech person), since every time i try to open the game, it tells me all mods run fine and the menu and character creator works, but once i try to enter it either freezes or just wont load. spent an hour waiting for it to load, but it never finished. ;n; anyone able to help?

[rich egret]

Did you setup it to have the right launch directory and besides that, did You install of of expanded dependencies?

For SV Expanded you need to have the framework mods. PyTK has an unoffical update, the link to that is in the console when you boot or I believe it is...

[simple timber]

Um << i never installed mods before so..idk? what do you mean by launch directory? and not sure if thats what you mean, but i installed the main mods and everything i was told to install with them by nexus. when starting there is this code window that shows all the mods and tells if there is any issues and it told me some where not working and gave me links to install them. i did that and after everything showed fine 😦

[rich egret]

I feel so bad for Elizabeth getting quoted with this each time..

hmm

If you go here which is for expanded

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3753

actually, send a picture of your mods folder?

[simple timber]

sure just a second

[rich egret]

But on that page there is a tab that says 'requirements' You need to have all of those and they need to be up to date as well

[simple timber]

yeah, i saw that and i installed everything it said to install. even used a video and the tutorial they have linked on nexus, to confirm i got everything. and i installed the unofficial ones after it showed a problem with the ones on nexus. after that everything was supposedly fine

[rich egret]

Hmm...

What do you play on / through?

Like I play on steam for instance so in order for it to boot correctly I have to set it up with a launch option for the stardewmoddingapi

[simple timber]

got stardew valley from steam, and do you mean what pc i use? like the specs?

thats the folder

[simple timber]

i am not sure about the launch option..again, pretty new to this so i might have skipped something?

[rich egret]

ooooooooooh

alright so

everything in the 1 and 2

take it out and just put it in the mod folder

[gaunt gust]

She doesn't get pinged, don't worry

[rich egret]

ah okay good

[simple timber]

oh does that affect that? one of the tutorials i used said it was fine to do that oO but imma do it real quick hold on

[rich egret]

so for example mine looks like this

yeah I believe so?

i might be wrong though

[simple timber]

i did that because i wanted to make sure i know which is which in case i have to remove something i can remove it enterily and don´t have to figure out what belongs to what

[gaunt gust]

You can have folders.for.organization

[simple timber]

so the folders aren´t the issue?

[gaunt gust]

That said - you can't have duplicates, and both ridgeside+sve depend on the same mods like pytk

[gaunt gust]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[simple timber]

yeah, i don´t think i have any duplicates. whatever i had already installed from SVE i didn´t install for ridgeside

[simple timber]

AH sure! lemme see how to do that

https://smapi.io/log/45bf523928b8428eb566fe4c1ee40a69

How much ram do you.have anyways?

[simple timber]

32 GB ram

[simple timber]

just to make sure i am not blind or stupid, it is the first one in the download list on nexus correct? :´3

[rich egret]

Yup! You can get the other farms as well if you'd like

[gaunt gust]

Should be

[simple timber]

I was also thinking my pc might not be able to handle it? idk. i was told it should be but i am really no computer person so i wouldn´t know oo

[rich egret]

Nah you're probably just fine

[gaunt gust]

Your computer should run it fine....

32GB of ram is a lot. I have 12

[simple timber]

is the ram the only thing important for that?

[gaunt gust]

No, but usually if you have a large amount of ram you also.have a good processor and so on

(wtf TIL naver has mods. what doesn't naver have..?)

[dire fractal]

Do you need virtual keyboard because its causing problems

[strong parrot]

Hi! I'm kind of in need of help currently as I'm having a couple of problems with two mods. One mod is the Generic Mod Config Menu and the other is a mod that changes the furniture and stuff. So firstly, for some reason my generic mod config menu doesn't show up at all, I have the latest version of it and smapi and stuff and smapi doesn't mention it in the log for some reason. It's not in the game either, even though I clearly added it. Some of my textures are also not loading properly and I don't understand or know why. If anyone could help me, that would be greatly appreciated!

[jagged hound]

i'm not able to reproduce this locally, but i noticed that the streak factor has a pretty big effect on your trash chances if your streak is high. with your current streak (12) and streak factor (0.07875), you are getting an additional 94.5% chance of catching fish. i'll keep testing to see why it's doing that for you

[gaunt gust]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[dire fractal]

Ok

[rich egret]

Huh. Alright, well it isn't that big of a deal I can just not streak I guess for now

[jagged hound]

@rich egret do you have any other mods installed? specifically, do you have walk of life installed?

[rich egret]

Yes actually I do

[jagged hound]

what fishing professions do you have?

[rich egret]

Ermm lemm see

[gaunt gust]

You don't seem to have gmcm at all, just this shortcut that references it? 23:51:39 TRACE SMAPI Ignored loose files: Generic Mod Config Menu 1.7.0-5098-1-7-0-1640375318 - Shortcut.lnk

[rich egret]

I know I haven't prestiged fishing yet.

[jagged hound]

i believe the current release of walk of life doesn't include the TFO compatibility changes, although they're now in the repository at least

have you hit fishing level 10 yet?

[rich egret]

nope

[jagged hound]

just FYI but the profession that increases the catch bar height should work, but the one that reduces the chances of getting trash should not

[rich egret]

There was an update to walks of life today

[strong parrot]

That's the problem, I do have it, I installed it multiple times over and over again

[jagged hound]

oh there was?

then lemme download that and test some more

[rich egret]

Yea

[gaunt gust]

did you unzip it?

[rich egret]

It mentioned your mod in specific too

[strong parrot]

yes, I can show you a screenshot of the folder

[jagged hound]

fml i swear

did i mess this up

[rich egret]

I was like 'ooh neat'

Oh no

[gaunt gust]

are you installing it into the correct directory (D:\everything\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods)?

[strong parrot]

yes, it's where all of my other mods are too

[rich egret]

I got the Fisher profession

[gaunt gust]

show me the screenshot, but it looks to me like you have a shortcut to it, not it itself

delete that shortcut and try installing again

[rich egret]

So 'Fish bite faster, live bait reduces junk'

[jagged hound]

yeah, and you have bait right?

[rich egret]

yup.

[jagged hound]

...is this not right?

[strong parrot]

Alright, I'll try that

[rich egret]

When I put the bait on

it raises the trash rate

[jagged hound]

omg i know why

i'm so dumb, thankfully i can fix this from the TFO side i think

[rich egret]

[jagged hound]

it's because your chance is greater than 1

[rich egret]

.....lol

Glad to be of assistance I guess to you find out about your brainfart

[jagged hound]

with a chance of 1.5 (150%), that converts it to 75%

if chance is less than 1, it should work fine i believe (yep it does, just double checked)

what i'll do is clamp the chance to a range between 0 and 1 before each event handler is fired off

[rich egret]

Well I guess I'll just fish without bait until you update it, not that big of a deal lol.
That sounds like it would work probably? Then again I don't know this that much about this stuff.

[jagged hound]

i'll put out a fix today

it should fix it, yes. realistically, the fish chance should never exceed 1 and never go below 0

modifiers to that chance should be able to safely assume it's within that range

[gaunt gust]

whee!

[jagged hound]

(then once they're all applied, i clamp the chance down again based on your settings)

[urban nebula]

hi guys, quick question. im using a modpack I got off reddit and everything is installed correctly and we definitely see significant changes but we cant seem to access anything from Expanded.

I don't know if this is where I should ask this question, but my StardewModdingAPI won't open. If I have written something wrong, I apologize, I use a translator. It opens cmd for a second and then closes without opening the game.

Yes, it's cracked, I can't buy the game.

[urban nebula]

oh okay, and this link here seems like it has all of those. will it replace them when i install or will i have to manually do that?

[rich egret]

I believe it's rule 5 but we can't help you apologies

[gaunt gust]

you can just replace the files

[urban nebula]

okay cool im gonna try that out, ill let you know. thank you for the quick response!

[dire fractal]

Okay.

[jagged hound]

@rich egret fixed. thank you for finding that and reporting it!

[rich egret]

No problem! What is this, two things now?
I love your mod so keep it up! ^^

[robust bison]

(for future reference, we discourage the use of external modpacks)

[urban nebula]

oh im sorry about that

[late nebula]

Just so you all know, we can actually help with pirated versions, but only when it comes to mods. Not fixing the version or helping people get the cracked games. It's also up to each of us whether we want to help. Pathoschild has a pin about it in this channel.

I just wanted to mention this because I've seen several people say that we can't help at all which is misleading and untrue.

[rich egret]

Ah, I didn't know that sorry. My only knowledge of that has been other peoples responses which have been saying they can't help

[late nebula]

Yeah. I used to think that too based only on what other people said.

[rich egret]

Yeah, I'll try to help next time. Now I feel like a butt

[gaunt gust]

you don't have to!

[late nebula]

It's okay. It is actually hard to help sometimes with them.

[gaunt gust]

I don't. I blanket policy don't

[late nebula]

I do if I can. But if I can't, I'll say so.

[rich egret]

Fair fair, I guess it's a case by case. If I can help I'll try but if I can't I'll say as well

[south socket]

I'm starting a new playthrough, and i wanna use a farm i generally wouldnt use. any mod recs?

preferably with a set layout

[gaunt gust]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8913?tab=files <- this one is the one I've been considering

[late nebula]

I like DaisyNikos for that.

[rich egret]

I know somebody makes some really good 'realistic' themed ones

[late nebula]

The Blackberry Fields Farm in particular is pretty

[rich egret]

Lemme see if I can find one

I think Draylon's maps are pretty nice if you wanna look at theirs

https://www.nexusmods.com/users/8049772?tab=user+files

[south socket]

theirs are a little too big for me

[rich egret]

ah gotcha

could be a bit of a project slowly building it up, at least that is how I'd look at it

[south socket]

has anyone made a layout for blackberry fields?

[late nebula]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8838

I haven't yet but I plan to use it next I think

I'm trying to decide between it and capitalist dream, but I think I prefer this one.

Might be able to find some in #farms-and-outfits

[dire fractal]

probs

[south socket]

yeah, unfortunately most layouts have sheds and idk what id replace them w/, since i dont use them

[dire fractal]

same

[dire fractal]

So, someone can tell me how to fix the error through StardewModdingAPI. After I put the mod in and run it, the cmd screen appears and disappears for 1 second and doesn't give me access to the game with normal mods. How could I fix this?

[late nebula]

Do you what version the game is?

[dire fractal]

1.5.5

[split patrol]

So, every time I plant rice shoots on my farm (modded, Blackberry Fields by Daisyniko) it crashes my game, tho the log doesnt seem to say anything about it. https://smapi.io/log/7233e91a432b40c9ad799632c388b59b

[urban nebula]

would i wanna delete the Ui Info Suite 1150 whatnot when i add 2?

[gaunt gust]

yes

[late nebula]

I think you probably want to use SMAPI 3.13? But maybe not the most recent version. What you're experiencing is either a version mismatch or the game itself being borked which I can't really help with.

So like try walking backwards with versions I suppose and otherwise I don't know.

[brazen hawk]

You could also try some things from here:

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch

[dire fractal]

There is no new version of smapi? or should i wait for a new one? I'm sorry I don't understand much about this.

[late nebula]

I'm saying the newest version of SMAPI might not work since you don't have the most recent version of the game.

Some mods also may not work.

The game is on sale on steam though if you would rather buy it to avoid a lot of that troubleshooting.

[gaunt gust]

fwiw - there is likely a problem with one of the many net 5.0 files bundled in with the game

we've seen a few common ones with pirated copies

[dire fractal]

Got it, thanks for the help.

I don't know where to ask but does anyone know a good mod to increase running speed a little more? 🙂

[strong parrot]

Okay, now I can't figure out another issue (sorry ;-;) I can't get any mods for sleeves to work, I tried two and none work and I know I put them in the right folder and everything, I checked!

it wont load past a black screen and it looks like my smapi log is red and glitching, cant even read it. ill send another log

oops crap

[late nebula]

So I would first try to remove your other clothing packs and see if they work with vanilla. Then add the clothing sets back in one by one until they stop working again.

I have a feeling that your issue may be one of mods overwriting one another, but I'm not 100% sure. We may need you to do a patch summary to figure out the load order too.

!patchsummary

[native dragon]

Can you do these steps to provide more info?

1. Load your save and view the content that should be patched.
2. Type patch summary directly into the SMAPI window and press enter.
3. Upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page).
4. Post the log link here.

[late nebula]

(There also seem to be a number of issues with the mod, judging by the posts and bug reports.)

[gaunt gust]

update the mods at the start of the log first

[strong parrot]

I tried two, the other one was this one: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9923

[dire fractal]

am I able to ask here if people can recommend cool mods to spice up the game? would be fun :')

I'll upload the patch summary once my smapi loaded everything

(I was actually looking at that one... Cause I didn't see the other for some reason lol)

They do both seem to have problems though with CP

[lament prairie]

It might be something with CP and it might be something with the mod, the issue has been hard to track down

[gaunt gust]

yeah, doesn't specify a patch mode

also farmer base is ... a little buggy in cp right now

[gaunt gust]

and I don't know when the bugs about farmer base in cp started, so..

[split anvil]

thanks

was wondering why it wasnt working, it worked fine before xD

[late nebula]

Yeah, some version of a CP update at some point as far as I can tell with the posts. But that mod I posted also changes sleeves.

[gaunt gust]

they change sleeves by editing farmer base, iirc

[strong parrot]

I mean, I tried whimsical girl before, but that mod was even buggier

[late nebula]

This mod is probably also interfering [CP] Beom Mung's Female Body nvm I see you have the sleeves disabled

[strong parrot]

I really couldn't find any other mods that could change sleeves sadly

[slender pike]

https://smapi.io/log/a7fdd37ef59b4d43893c76c2cfc976bd
so ignoring the fresh meat mod errors (i already fixed that) what else have i done wrong here

[strong parrot]

weird thing is, the https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9923 mod was advertised with that exact same body

[gaunt gust]

they didn't specify a patch mode, it's defaulted to replace, and I think they meant overlay

[dire fractal]

You could try switching to Female Farmer Overhaul on Nexus (the Sleeves work with it) or use Peachbody from Naver (it's quite customizable if you learn to use Content Patcher).
Or check if the Mod you currently use for your farmer has a Sleeves Folder. Maybe that overwrites the Big Sleeves Mod.

[strong parrot]

Dunno really, thought it might work together

[dire fractal]

Where do you find latest download for smapi

[strong parrot]

it does have a sleeves folder and an option to disable those sleeves, which I did

[naive drum]

on smapi.io

[late nebula]

You could leave a comment for the author to look into compatibility fixes for your log. I think they probably need to do some bug fixing in general for both though.

[dire fractal]

Have you tried putting the png of the big sleeves mod in there?

[rocky jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/siegmeyer-siegward-onion-knight-hmm-gif-17919497

Guys I found a mod

[strong parrot]

not yet, I'll try that

but now that I think about it, the sleeves for that body mod didn't work either

[late nebula]

This is disturbing.

[strong parrot]

When I tried to change the sleeves and stuff it didn't do anything either

[rocky jackal]

No

It’s art

[strong parrot]

does it have something to do with darksouls?

[silent dragon]

Is anyone aware of any mods that make spouses less boring, other than Immersive Spouses which appears to be very out of date?

[rocky jackal]

Yea

[late nebula]

There are a few for individual spouses, like Immersive Shane

I seem to recall a dialogue patch for Elliott.

[gaunt gust]

immersive spouses still works. I use it

[silent dragon]

I haven't tried it yet, so it may still work perfectly, for the non-SVE spouses of course.

[strong parrot]

I think there are a lot for individual spouses, there are also yandere spouses and stuff if you want that

[silent dragon]

Good to have some confirmation before giving it a whirl, thanks atra.

[late nebula]

There are also mods to make them do chores

Or a mod so you can marry a bunch

[silent dragon]

All I really want is for my spouse to still be an independent person, not just hang out around the house doing chores. Anything else is bonus.

[late nebula]

Do you have a particular person you want to marry?

(I think Immersive Spouses is the only one that changes their schedules.)

[urban nebula]

its working on mine but on my girlfriend's pc it says could not load content pack SDV expanded : unsupported format version 1.23.0, does she need to update SDV itself?

[silent dragon]

I'm checking Nexus now, but it's probably the usual choice between Leah or Abigail this playthrough. None of the others really come close except maybe Sophia from SDE.

[gaunt gust]

seems like she needs to update CP

also the log tells you what you need to update

[urban nebula]

https://smapi.io/log/baf187d489224106860f5c88dde616a0

im not seeing any errors or anything

[slender pike]

the errors are in red, but the stuff in purple is what you need to update

stuff in yellow means theres an error, btu the mod will still work

[urban nebula]

i didnt see any purple, just the one red error about the unsupported format version

i think i figured it out one sec

[dire fractal]

I remember having the same problem with the Sleeves not working - which is why I switched to another base.

You could try to write your own private body cp mod using the assets from the Mods you wanna use. It's honestly not that hard and you can ask for advice in making-mods if you get stuck.

[gaunt gust]

if you upload the log to smapi.io/log, there's nice links at the top for any mod that needs updating!

[urban nebula]

i derped and didnt delete the original SDVE, im assuming that has to be what it was

[late nebula]

This one is kind of old and doesn't add too much for Leah, but it's something or a start at least.
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2010
For Abigail, there is this. She also has a lot of portrait mods.
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3870
You could also consider these two, which aren't exactly spouse-specific, but might add a bit of interest to the game.

if you're on windows it shouldn't be needed

but if the game doesn't launch with mods after the reset then i guess it's needed

Hey so I used CJB to get max hearts with Shane and now he's my husband. But I think I broke the game cause I can't get blue chickens. I can't trigger the heart event even if I put his hearts back down to 8. Did I break it?

[gaunt gust]

you need to update gmcm then

[gaunt gust]

doesn't Daily Screenshot do that?

[errant locust]

@gaunt gust I want it to do the screenshot farm feature, not a literal screenshot of the current screen

daily screenshot is the screenshot farm feature

[fading ibex]

Hi I can't find my mods folder whatsoever- where is it? I'm on Mac

I've played with mods before and already and I'm tryna install the ones missing for zuzu city

[errant locust]

Oh, you are talking about this?
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4779
I need a mod similar to this, except it takes a screenshot every time I enter a new area, not just in the very-specific circumstance of leaving my house at an arbitrary time.

[gaunt gust]

oh, yeah, it does only the first time you enter an area in a day

[lyric schooner]

You can add custom rules on Daily Screenshot and customize the way you want, I think

Check Config section:
{
"SnapshotRules": [
{
"Name": "Unnamed Rule 1",
"ZoomLevel": 0.25,
"Directory": "Default",
"FileName": "Default",
"Trigger": {
"Days": "Daily",
"Weather": "Any",
"Location": "Farm",
"Key": "None",
"StartTime": 600,
"EndTime": 2600
}
}
]
}

If you change location, you can have screenshot wherever you want

[errant locust]

@lyric schooner The trigger option is documented here:
https://github.com/CompSciLauren/stardew-valley-daily-screenshot-mod
But it seems there is no option for every time you enter an area. It will only screenshot a maximum of one time per day.

[lyric schooner]

Oh, got it.. nevermind then 🙂

Maybe if you create rules for the same place, but with different endtimes? It's mostly bruteforce, but it probably would work? I don't know

*different startimes and endtimes

[lament prairie]

so i cant even see

[gaunt gust]

error message will stay if you run through powershell or cmd prmpt

see instructions at link

also, did you get the game from gamepass?

[toxic ridge]

no, i got it from steam

like

i bought it

oh gosh

please ignore that one racist thing, it's my brother's

there you go.

i apologize deeply

[fringe forge]

(we already figured it out in #making-mods-general where they accidentally posted first. they didn't set the launch option for steam, so it simply launched the base game)

[toxic ridge]

im so sorry ;w; aaaaaa

[gaunt gust]

okay, so you're not getting smapi to run at all, which explains the lack of an error log

.q 5809

[devout pumice]

[#5809] "hey! Can I get you to run through this troubleshooting guide https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch? If none of the options there work, can you post the error message you get if you open SMAPI using the command line?" - @gaunt gust (17 Dec 2021 @ 08:17:54 PM UTC)

[gaunt gust]

step 3 is to run smapi through either powershell (win10) or command prompt (win11) so the message stays

[toxic ridge]

okay! i'll try it.

[south socket]

how do i change a modded farm to replace a default

i dont wanna do it ingame

could i just change this to say riverland

[toxic ridge]

it's giving me this error, but i'm trying to verify integrity

[gaunt gust]

okay, yeah, you're missing a game file

If you look into the game directory, there should be a lot of files. Sometimes verify integrity doesn't pick up on the error

you may have to uninstall/reinstall

one thing I'd like to try: delete the file called System.Numerics.dll, and then try verifying again.

[toxic ridge]

okay!

[gaunt gust]

unlikely. more likely it'd be changing "Target": "Map/Farm" to "Target": "Map/Farm-Fishing" (I may be misremembering the exact filenames). But this is pretty complicated stuff, and iirc there's a debug command to move your farm to a new map these days

[dire fractal]

https://smapi.io/log/c666a5e61d814e509359ae35dddecfc7

[toxic ridge]

just verifying integrity seems to have worked, its waiting for the game to launch

[dire fractal]

automate aint workin

[toxic ridge]

uhm, what do i do next again once i've started running it with the Powershell?

[gaunt gust]

you should be able to launch normally now!

[toxic ridge]

thank you very much!

[gaunt gust]

make sure your launch options are set up in steam!

[south socket]

im creating a new save just to clarify - i just have modded maps replacing some faarm types already

[gaunt gust]

!json your config for it is borked

[native dragon]

@dire fractal JSON is a standard format for machine-readable text files, often used by Stardew Valley mods. If you need help with a JSON file, you can upload it to https://smapi.io/json, view an automatic validation summary on that page, and share the link with others.

[gaunt gust]

use that site to validate your config

ok tq

[lament prairie]

You can only have one farm type per save though

[dire fractal]

@lament prairie thanks

[gaunt gust]

mitch - are you on mobile?

[south socket]

aaa okay so i downloaded capitalists dream. i want to configure what default farm it replaces

[dire fractal]

@gaunt gust no

On mac

[gaunt gust]

sorry, for some reason I thought you were on mobile

[dire fractal]

I was earlier

[lament prairie]

You are trying to use "Capitalist Dream Farm" but want it to replace which farm? Can you link us the mod you're trying to use? Also I am not sure it really matters which farm map your new map replaces except for flavoring, but I could be wrong.

[gaunt gust]

fish spawning, maybe?

[lament prairie]

Oh that's maybe true

[south socket]

thats not what i mean. like which farm do i select when creating a save

i want to pick which one

ill just do it ingame nvm- sorry for confusing yall

[lament prairie]

No worries, I think I understand what you're trying to do, but not why

[gaunt gust]

does capitalist dream farm require txml?

[south socket]

No

[gaunt gust]

iirc that one being very complicated

[south socket]

Nevermind its okay - I dont know how else I can phrase it

thank you guys for trying to help tho

[gaunt gust]

It's possible, I think. It's just rather complex

[south socket]

I can do it using mod config menu

[gaunt gust]

you're looking to replace "Target": "Farm" with "Target": "Farm_Fishing", for one

ah, okay

so it has a config option, that's a lot easier

[south socket]

Yeah I just wanted to do it before I loaded in

i believe it does

im not sure tho

[gaunt gust]

you can just edit config.json

run smapi enough to load all the mods, then just go to the mod folder and find config.json

[south socket]

Okay thank you

i just dont want to have to delete the modded maps i have in certain spots

since im playing on multiple saves

[lament prairie]

You don't have to load a save, just launch the game, I believe

[gaunt gust]

just enough to load all mods

[south socket]

I know, but my smapi takes so long to load-

Yeah

it doesnt have a config option, oh well ig ill just switch out my farms

[soft pumice]

can you use mods on mobile?

[late nebula]

!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.

[late nebula]

It takes a bit of consideration. You'll need older versions a lot of the time or versions specifically for android.

[soft pumice]

cool thanks 😌

[late nebula]

Let us know if you need help with anything.

[lament prairie]

There's also https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Mobile_Modding_Compatibility

any good mods for visuals

I really like Better Artisan Goods: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2080

ill have a look

[late nebula]

Earthy Recolor, Way Back Pelican Town, Medieval Buildings, Diverse Stardew Valley, Vintage Interface or Overgrown Flowery Interface...

Anything by cometkins or DustBeauty

[stray spire]

is it possible to make Grampleton Fields compatible with East Scarp? I remember there being some patch or built in compatbility which made grampleton connect to East Scarp if both are installed, but right I've got both and the bridge leads directly to East Scarp.

[tawdry moth]

Does anyone have a list of mods that work for 1.5.4 specifically? It'd be nice to not have to sift through new mods that won't work with the older version.

(Please ping me as I have the server muted.)

[late nebula]

I don't have a list, but in general, if the most recent version won't work, you can look for a version released before Dec 2021.

[gaunt gust]

!compat is linked to a wiki page, so you can go into the history of that page too

[native dragon]

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

[craggy edge]

Would downloading/using custom furniture mods negatively affect others in multiplayer if they don't want to download them? If I keep the custom furniture in my house and not in theirs.

[tawdry moth]

How am I supposed to find this wiki page?

[craggy edge]

When you type !compat , the Governer bot replies a link with the SMAPI web page that says which mods (popular) work and which ones don't.

Stardew expanded has the grandpa farm replacing the standard farm however i select it, and it doesnt work. is there anything im doing wrong? i have everything SVE needs

[dire fractal]

What mods do y'all recommend for a first time mod user?

For the android

[bitter bone]

does that apply to me?

[arctic flint]

i dont know what mods are on android, but ive been liking starblue valley which just makes things a little bluer, and a bit lighter on the eyes

[dire fractal]

Thanks @arctic flint

[late nebula]

You need to find the directory for your game and put it in manually.

[bitter bone]

ok, now, what is the directory ???

[late nebula]

If you're using Steam, you can go to properties and browse local files.

(if I recall correctly since I'm away from my pc)

[craggy edge]

Does anyone know if the mod "Cute Valley" is only retextures, or if it adds more items? I want to try using this mod if it's only a retexture, because my friend doesn't wanna download any more mods.
(We both have Content Patcher)
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3499

[late nebula]

As far as I can tell, it's just a reskin

[bitter bone]

ahhh, and if I don't have it for steam?

[reef stag]

Did you start it? The mod doesn't rename it as Grandpa's Farm if that's what you're looking for. It will say Standard Farm but it has been replaced in the game if your mods are all there.

[late nebula]

Then it's where ever the .dll that launches the game is

[late nebula]

Did you download Grandpa's Farm? It's a separate file.

[arctic flint]

OH! thank you!!

[bitter bone]

And what do I do with it, I understand what to do, but how

[arctic flint]

where do i find it?

[late nebula]

The files page of sve

[arctic flint]

thanks

[late nebula]

Copy paste the path into smapi

The black window

[bitter bone]

ty

ahhh sorry for being stupid but what is the ".dll that launches the game is"

[late nebula]

Should be something like Stardew Valley.dll

[bitter bone]

._.

I dont know

[naive drum]

that looks like the correct folder

[late nebula]

It's there. Copy the path from the directory bar at the top.

You also will need an earlier version of SMAPI since that is version 1.5.4 and several mods will not work so you'll have to dig to find which versions will. Luckily the game is on sale right now on Steam if you'd like to avoid all that frustration.

[bitter bone]

It is only to update it, right? and with that he gets on par with the smapi vercion

[late nebula]

???

The current version is 1.5.6.

Sorry that I don't fully understand what you asked.

[bitter bone]

sorry in the translator it looks normal

ahh that is only to update it right?

[late nebula]

Buying the game is only to update it?

Buying the game would mean that you have a legit copy and that we could support more with modding.

[naive drum]

it would also be a fully updated copy that would receive updates as they come out

[bitter bone]

AaAaaa

ok

[thick star]

anyone know if smapi works good now? I haven't been able to play in 2 months because I work to much

[calm heron]

wdym "works good"

[thick star]

idk had an issue where it wasn't working i can't even find mods on nexus for stardew atm... lol

[late nebula]

That doesn't sound like a smapi issue.

[thick star]

well i meant how smapi didn't hook up to vortex

[late nebula]

Oh no it still doesn't.

[thick star]

i know, just having many issues 😦

that sucks

[late nebula]

Vortex causes problems with SDV modding in general and isn't recommended.

[thick star]

any youtubers make a guide on how to make it work?

[late nebula]

No

Not that I know of

[thick star]

lame, working 16 hours at a hospital doesn't give me time to figure shit out anymore

[late nebula]

(We also don't really recommend videos here since they get outdated fast.)

[thick star]

yeah figures

lol mods get updated daily some times

[late nebula]

Yeah

[thick star]

guess i'll just hang up on SDV 😦 till it's fixed not tryna play reg SDV atm lolol

[late nebula]

Honesty, even though it can be kinda tedious, manual modding is the way to go and will go quickly once you get used to it. When Vortex causes a problem, it causes a PROBLEM.

But I can understand not having the time. 16 hour shifts must really suck.

[thick star]

yeah it's rough 16 hour days 6 days a week

[crimson vessel]

any updates on the custom music issue? where all modded music is replaced by the title theme?

[late nebula]

I've seen everything from totally borked mod loadouts, missing files, and corrupted saves, all of which are often more time-consuming to fix than just manual installation.

[late nebula]

I haven't had that issue. Is it new?

[crimson vessel]

I've been experiencing it for a while now. I have no idea what could be causing it. I've tried everything from updating SMAPI, to redownloading the unofficial update for custom music, to checking if it clashes with any other mods I have installed (which it shouldn't, since it's the only mod that messes with music files)

[late nebula]

Have you used any xnb mods that replace game files?

[crimson vessel]

only one that replaces the dinosaur sprite, but that's a relatively new addition, and I've been experiencing the bug way longer than I've had that mod in

I try not to mess with xnb files too much

[late nebula]

Ah ok, maybe try a log when the music is messing up and leave a link here. Not sure if I can help, but I'll look into it what little I can.

!log

[native dragon]

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

[crimson vessel]

alright, thanks. Let me boot up my game and find a place with custom music.

[thick star]

anyone have a link for a manual download sheet word by word on Smapi? i will be getting my 3090 build sunday so i'll prob spend some time messing around with SDV again

[late nebula]

!gettingstarted

[native dragon]

@thick star 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

[thick star]

tyvm 🙂

[late nebula]

Best place to start and then come ask for help if you need it

Also read mod descriptions. At least like a glance for useful info.

[thick star]

sounds good 🙂 ill read it while i'm in bed or something

should i download it through nexus or manual download everything?

and extract from there?

[late nebula]

You can manually download through Nexus

Just don't select the option for Vortex

It will give you a compressed file, usually a .zip but sometimes a .rar

[thick star]

okay sounds good

yeah i got a zip

[late nebula]

Then you extract it and put it into the Mods folder unless it says otherwise

If you get a .rar for anything, you can use a program called 7zip to extract it.

(Assuming Windows)

[thick star]

yeah windows 10, having a hard time finding my SDV folder

[late nebula]

Are you using steam?

[thick star]

yeah

i have my steam folder up and i clicked games and it's just showing my game icons and no game folders

[late nebula]

It's usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley

[thick star]

perfect

[late nebula]

Unless you put your games somewhere else, but everything after Steam should be the same

[thick star]

ahhh steamapps common i see

[late nebula]

Yeah, it's a weird file structure

[thick star]

in the content folder do i make a mods folder then extract it into there>

?*

[late nebula]

Nope

Nope nope

[thick star]

that's what i thought xD

[late nebula]

So you downloaded smapi?

[thick star]

yeah

i didn't extract yet

[late nebula]

Extract it in downloads or where ever it is

[thick star]

says smapi 3.13.2 installer folder

[late nebula]

Go into the folder and double click "install on Windows"

[thick star]

now send it to the SDV folder? im on the "files will be extracted to this folder"

[late nebula]

Yep

[thick star]

so for grampas farm or whatever mods i do the same?

[late nebula]

Nope

[thick star]

or can i just vortex it?

[late nebula]

So most mods, you will extract them and then move them to mods

Smapi is special

You can use vortex for everything else but I don't recommend it.

[thick star]

okay, just making sure if i need to make a mods folder or not or just install from vortex xD

[calm heron]

Getting help from Maythorn or atravida be like:

[thick star]

i see

yeah memento xD

awesome help

[late nebula]

See above comment about really time consuming problems.

[thick star]

yeah it is it was prob spoken about earlier in this chat i bet but

i don't have time to read xD

[late nebula]

To be fair, the devs of vortex need more bug reports to fix it. I just don't have that kind of patience myself.

If you're going to use Vortex, just be aware that it likes to eat manifest.json files which you have to have. And it will also sometimes update your mods to weird versions when betas are happening that could ruin your save. I highly, highly recommend making frequent save backups if you're going to use it.

!saves

[native dragon]

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

[late nebula]

And it won't install or update smapi at the moment which you also have to have.

[thick star]

so do !saves when ingame?

interesting

[late nebula]

I just typed that so you could save the link on how to find your saves.

[thick star]

like if i lost my game save i'd be upset but if i can atleast play with the mods i'll be happy xD

cool thanks 🙂

[late nebula]

Yeah, I'm the person who ragequits over lost saves.

I do enjoy tinkering with mods and never getting anywhere too though.

[umbral swallow]

android users do i have to use the SMAPI Sdv app now for playing in order for the mods to work? Can i still play with the vanilla?

[hearty dagger]

Hi! Is there a mod that makes our spouses useful? Thanks! I'm using Pc and no mods currently

[late nebula]

I think if you want to play with vanilla, you can click the normal SDV icon to launch the game.

[umbral swallow]

yep but the mods won't appear there right?

[late nebula]

I don't believe so. If you load the same save though, you can break it though.

[umbral swallow]

idk any mods but spouses often water crops, fill pet bowl and/or feed animals if you have high hearts with them

[late nebula]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5175

I haven't tested it in the new update, but that is a thing.

[hearty dagger]

Been married and maybe Harvey just did his part like twice and gave me 3 breakfast. Been a year already

[umbral swallow]

okay thank you! I don't use any game-changing mods and only aesthetic-purposes ones so i'm hoping it won't break my vanilla save

[hearty dagger]

Hi! Thank you!😊 I appreciate this!

[late nebula]

There is also one where they get a monthly paycheck somewhere.

[late nebula]

You mostly want to look out for mods that add things like items, areas, NPCs, etc.

[hearty dagger]

Oh wow! Oh also, I'm really new to modding, do you know if downloading this mod affects my current farm I'm playing?

[late nebula]

It should.

Make sure to check the mod descriptions to see if adding mods to an existing game aren't recommended (like with SVE and RSV).

[vague cove]

Does anyone use the BFAV Frog Friends mod? my frog turned into a chicken

[late nebula]

Ah it was a Kaya mod https://kayainsdv.postype.com/post/10210048

[hearty dagger]

Thank you thank you again!😊

[late nebula]

That's an unsettling evolution.

[umbral swallow]

my mod choices are limited since i play on mobile so i'm limiting myself to only "aesthetic" ones

[hearty dagger]

Im so sorry but what does SVE and RSV means?

[umbral swallow]

i currently only have the seasonal outfit mod and i'm enjoying it so far

[umbral swallow]

stardew valley expanded i believe

idk about rsv tho

[vague cove]

i looked at my smapi log, and it says no errors

[hearty dagger]

Thank you!😊

[late nebula]

Can totally relate. @runic cobalt has a list of mods somewhere and is the mobile guru if you ever need help and the rest of us are all

[umbral swallow]

SVE is pretty big but it's worth a try, it adds a ton of new content and interesting new stuff and characters.

[late nebula]

RSV - Ridgeside Village

[umbral swallow]

thank you!

[hearty dagger]

Thank you!!!!!

Thank you everyone! I appreciate all the reply!😊

[late nebula]

https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Mobile_Modding_Compatibility

That link is the one ^

[umbral swallow]

i'll check it out once i get home, thanks a lot i really appreciate the help

[thick star]

so how to i start up smapi now since i ave the mods all downloaded? go through the smapi install or?

[late nebula]

There is another bug report for the same problem. Are you using the unofficial update for BFAV?

[crimson vessel]

hey @late nebula I have my log: https://smapi.io/log/5a2484ef8d7a481ea05635b1ee453e84

[late nebula]

Did you set the launch option in Steam?

[crimson vessel]

I tried to go to multiple places with different custom music, so hopefully that should help identify the issue?

[vague cove]

yep

[thick star]

how do i get up a launch option for steam for SDV?

[crimson vessel]

I should also say that the custom music plays for a second before switching to the title theme, if that helps

[late nebula]

So right click - properties - where it says Launch whatever, put "path to your game" %command%

Include the " "

Actually lemme go copy paste it

"C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

[thick star]

hmmmm say'd can't find it put in "C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\StardewValley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command% right?

[late nebula]

What are you doing?

[thick star]

i'm in that launcg options and i put in

"C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\StardewValley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

[late nebula]

I'm not sure. Might want to try and contact the author of the frog mod or whoever made the unofficial update for bfav for help.

[late nebula]

Yeah

[thick star]

i was talking about smapi start up xD

oh wasn't tagged to me xD my bad

[late nebula]

Sorry

[late nebula]

What music pack are you using?

[thick star]

says "the system cannot find the path specified"

[late nebula]

Rip me

[thick star]

i took off %command%

[late nebula]

It needs that

Imma go start my pc... Brb

[thick star]

it works i think game started but idk if its gonna start the smapi tho lol

[crimson vessel]

other than the files from downtown zuzu, ridgeside village, and SVE, none. at least that I know of off the top of my head

[thick star]

weird it's not finding the command

[late nebula]

If a black terminal window doesn't come up, it isn't working

[thick star]

yeah i noticed

should i move smapi to the mods folder?

that'd prob help xD

[late nebula]

Do me a favor and screenshot this on your machine and send it here.

smapi doesn't need to be in the mods folder

It probably would break stuff

(My path is slightly different since I use a custom location)

[late nebula]

Put a space in StardewValley

Stardew Valley

That was my bad for forgetting it

[late nebula]

See if it will work now when you hit play

[late nebula]

Go to SDV - Properties - Local Files - Browse... And copy paste the path directory it takes you to.

We're looking to see that StardewModdingAPI.exe is in that folder.

[thick star]

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

[late nebula]

okie, is the file I mentioned there?

[late nebula]

take the installer folder out

[thick star]

i don't see that

[thick star]

i took that out, i have these mods idk if it's holding me back

[late nebula]

Looking for this

The one with the pufferchick

[thick star]

nope don't have it

[late nebula]

okay, smapi didn't install correctly then

[thick star]

okay ill try windows download for it again

[late nebula]

So let's start from the top. Go into the folder you extracted and double click "install on Windows" It doesn't need to be anywhere near your game folder to do this.

[late nebula]

(I am still looking into the Custom Music issue btw to see if there are any similar problems.)

Just extract it to your desktop or somewhere else

Or even in Downloads

[thick star]

AHHHH

i got it now i think xD

[late nebula]

yay!

I think trying to install from inside the game folder may create some weird permission error

(no idea! just speculation)

[thick star]

so apparently it's not working still xD

[late nebula]

Clicking play didn't work

?

[thick star]

nope

"C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

[naive drum]

Some versions of the SMAPI installer don't work if launched from a path that has a bracket in it

[late nebula]

Well, you can just click the smapi in the folder or make a shortcut to the desktop for it.

[naive drum]

and Program Files (x86) has brackets in it

[thick star]

"C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\StardewValley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command% didn't work either

[naive drum]

Also dizdarevic i think you also need the spaces in Program Files (x86)

unless your computer doesnt have spaces in that for some reason?

[late nebula]

Oh I must have forgot those too

[thick star]

"C:\ProgramFiles( x86 )\Steam\SteamApps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

so liek that?

like*

[naive drum]

no like
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\StardewValley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%
