#

I haven't actually played the game really since RSV 2.0.0 came out

#

so I don't recognize most of the names

#

now forgive me, I have a rug function to stare at some more

unreal stratus
#

I haven't played the game since 1.5 was released SDVpufferchickcry

hearty jasper
#

...what is a rug function?

torn crest
gaunt gust
#

I'm trying to figure out the best way to make it so you can place a rug under furniture, nothing more.

late nebula
#

I feel like you have an advantage in this regard so you are kinda biased nyaGlasses

gaunt gust
#

other than that, nothing's wrong

hearty jasper
#

Ah! Good luck wrangling the rugs and furniture, then!

late nebula
#

I wonder if you tried to use an xnb mod.

naive drum
#

!reset might help

native dragonBOT
naive drum
#

just to confirm, you have stardew valley 1.5.6 and SMAPI 3.13.2?

unreal stratus
#

I'm very biased SDVpufferchickcry

lyric schooner
#

RSV adds Jesus too? 😮 Poor Yoba

unreal stratus
#

Which is why I don't recommend people to play Ridgeside because I'm not an independent party. I can't give a fair review because I love the mod unconditionally.

unreal stratus
gaunt gust
hearty jasper
#

One day, I'll try out Ridgeside... But I just can't play without SVE anymore and my PC is just going to go bye bye if I try to run those two at the same time, I'm sure...

vital charm
#

i have ridgeside, sve and east scarp working at the same time, it takes like 3 to 5 minutes for smapi to load, but runs well

late nebula
#

Yeah the loading is the worst of it.

stable anchor
naive drum
#

817 mods here and the loading is so long

proven pewter
#

I have ~180 but I crave more

#

my modlust will never be sated

stable anchor
#

smapi pls explain 😭

naive drum
#

!loh

#

...
link it

hearty jasper
#

O..O Okay... and here I thought I was bad with my... 60 mods...

late nebula
#

Probably a looping error

lyric schooner
#

My game starts to struggle when I play for 4-5 in-game days in a row with the mods I'm currently using.. So in a way, they are helping me to avoid spending too much time playing the game 😛

hearty jasper
#

I guess that's a way of looking at it!

stable anchor
#

oh sorry

naive drum
#

install Warp Snitch

stable anchor
#

the player believes the error is stemming from the lavril mod, but the smapi isn't indicating that well

hearty jasper
#

Huh... last time I played, the game also got kind of laggy when entering/exiting doors/new areas. But now it's smooth. Maybe running around on a small farm rather than Immersive Farm 2 is helping.

naive drum
#

somethings gone wrong in NPC pathfinding

stable anchor
#

i see SDVpuffereyes

#

im going to have to change the schedule i guess 🤷‍♂️

naive drum
#

Warp Snitch will provide more detail

stable anchor
#

kk

#

ty

vital charm
#

i tried a bunch of things , but only getting lavril to 1 heart did that loop error

cold spoke
#

hii everyone, im beggin for help 🙂 So this is happening with my smapi, and the mods which i donwloaded basically don´t work if anyone knows what could i do or what is happening ://

naive drum
cold spoke
naive drum
#

That's not your mods folder, that's a random folder named Mods and your computer isn't showing its file path for some reason

#

Your mods folder is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods

proven pewter
#

assuming you're using the steam version

gaunt gust
#

they are, it's in the log snippet they posted

naive drum
proven pewter
#

I seeeee

naive drum
# cold spoke

for some reason, your mods aren't in your actual Mods folder that SMAPI is looking in, they're in some other folder also named Mods

#

(like the time i accidentally installed Celeste mods to my Stardew Valley mods folder)

cold spoke
naive drum
cold spoke
#

and that was the only place where shows the mods

gaunt gust
#

if you click into the top bar of your file explorer, it'll let you type

naive drum
#

!gettingstarted the youtube tutorials are frequently outdated or just flat-out wrong

native dragonBOT
gaunt gust
#

just type in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods

naive drum
#

SMAPI is looking in a specific location on your computer and you put the mods somewhere that wasn't there

naive drum
#

Yep! That's your Mods folder

naive drum
#

looks like all you did wrong was put your mods in the wrong location

cold spoke
cold spoke
naive drum
#

yep, they need to go in there

#

(also, you don't need to put the SMAPI installer in there)

#

(it is the installer for the modloader, it is not a mod in and of itself)

cold spoke
#

okok

#

thank you soooo much!

woven salmon
#

Hi, I'm trying to use custon furniture mod on mobile, is it possible?

lament prairie
#

Get ones from before Dec 20th, 2020 I believe it should be possible but I’m not sure

woven salmon
#

Okay, thanks! ^^

fleet panther
#

I have this mod but my house is still the same like orange one

#

did I miss out something

lament prairie
#

You might have a different mod overriding it

fleet panther
#

it worked though

lament prairie
#

It does seem to have loaded, but if a different mod edits the farmhouse and loads later it will be the thing that displays

fleet panther
#

hmm is there a solution

lament prairie
#

You would either have to check all of your other CP mods or do a patch summary in the log to see what’s editing the farmhouse

gaunt gust
#

!patchsummary

native dragonBOT
#

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.
lament prairie
#

When you post the log, you can control-F for Farmhouse in the thing the log spits out after the patch summary

#

That will tell you which mods could be editing the farmhouse

fleet panther
#

alright I'll try thanks xd

lament prairie
#

Also there are little checkbox things that say if the mods did in fact edit the farmhouse

#

But also we can help you read your log when you post it here

gaunt gust
#

black window with text

fleet panther
#

1 or 2

gaunt gust
#

when you run the game, a black window with text should show up

fleet panther
#

ohh oaky

gaunt gust
#

this thing

fleet panther
gaunt gust
#

you need to load into the save

#

and then upload the log, following the instructions at that link

fleet panther
#

ah sorry

gaunt gust
#

sorry, but you still need to load into a save first, before running the command and sending the log

fleet panther
#

what do u mean by save? a save file?

gaunt gust
#

yes

fleet panther
#

like this?

gaunt gust
#

I'm not quite sure why you made a shortcut to the error log?

#

you can upload it by clicking on the small blue text...

fleet panther
#

oh u mean the 'choose a file?

gaunt gust
#

yup!

fleet panther
#

its just the same as last one? (im not sure if this time is the right one

naive drum
#

looks like elle's buildings and flowery valley are both editing the farmhouse, and elle's is configured to look very similar to vanilla

lament prairie
#

It’s probably the other buildings

#

Yeah that

fleet panther
#

oh so I need to remove either elle or flower valley?

lament prairie
#

You can configure Elle’s

fleet panther
#

how XD

lament prairie
#

Read the mod description

#

Find the config option related to the farmhouse

#

There’s probably a False or None or Off option

#

I don’t recall off the top of my head which it is

fleet panther
lament prairie
#

Yep!

novel panther
#

My cheese does not want to go into my casks, neither directly, through automate, nor through oneclickshedrefiller (which also works on cellars

lament prairie
#

Do you have any other cask mods?

novel panther
#

Nope

iron plank
#

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me why some mods are downloading as .rar for me instead of a zippered file? Specifically Marnie Deserves Better for example

gaunt gust
#

some mod makers like .rar

#

!unzip

native dragonBOT
#

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.

lament prairie
#

If you’re on Mac I like the unarchiver

lament prairie
# novel panther Nope

Well you can either play “guess that mod” by yourself or upload a log here and we can guess too

gaunt gust
#

I have a little scriptlet in my zshrc that uses tar to unpack things

novel panther
iron plank
#

thank you! I just got a new computer and this explains why the same mods worked before (like a year ago). Since I could unzip some mods I just thought my new computer already had the necessary software -facepalm-

ornate quest
late nebula
#

I can't recall the conversation from earlier. Did you run SDV once without smapi?

lament prairie
novel panther
#

Yes

late nebula
#

Hmmm

#

Have you tried removing and reinstalling the game and smapi?

ornate quest
#

I run sdv 1 times before move install.dat file on folder

ornate quest
#

reinstall sdv and SMAPI

#

and restart computer.

late nebula
#

Have you run through these steps?

gaunt gust
#

In your game directory, you will find a file called Stardew Valley.deps.json

#

copy that, name the copy StardewModdingAPI.deps.json

ornate quest
#

this?

late nebula
#

no, where you were trying to launch smapi before in the video

#

that folder

ornate quest
#

and luanching game again?

#

that i use luanch options.

ornate quest
#

i think this file is broken it not running

compact knoll
#

is nexus virus free?

late nebula
ornate quest
#

Can anyone come in and fix it for me through Anydex?

compact knoll
#

then why did mcAfee appeae out of nowhere and says i might have a threat?

#

I just look at one of the photos for a mod, and poof

late nebula
ornate quest
#

I feel hopeless 😩

late nebula
#

if you mean smapi

compact knoll
#

life cycle mod

gaunt gust
#

Sometimes antiviruses object to harmony sometimes

compact knoll
#

i was looking at the pictures of it

gaunt gust
#

okay not that then

fiery portal
ornate quest
#

"D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

late nebula
# ornate quest I feel hopeless 😩

I can try. I would need to take a moment to familiarize myself with that program though. Someone else might be more qualified though to be honest. I would probably try stuff you've already done.

fiery portal
#

well that looks right SDVpufferthink

gaunt gust
fiery portal
#

oh

gaunt gust
#

And, honestly, I don't have enough spare brainpower today to come up with comprehensible explanations to anything.

#

so...

fiery portal
#

and I've never manual installed so 🤷‍♂️

compact knoll
#

So i use a virus scanner, and it said I never have a virus

late nebula
#

But I wouldn't know.

compact knoll
#

lets say i was double checking

lament prairie
#

Nexus runs virus scans on all the files people upload

compact knoll
#

I cant trust websites, so i downloaded a trustable virus scanner

#

meaning that mcAfee "Scanner" was a scam

lament prairie
#

That’s an interesting statement

late nebula
#

"trustable" virus scanner

#

All you usually need is Windows Defender

lament prairie
#

Yeah idk anything about virus scanners

gaunt gust
#

I mean, McAfee himself right now is pushing scamcoins, so...

lament prairie
#

I don’t use a virus scanner at all but I’m also on Mac

gaunt gust
#

(although the antivirus is still legit and is not involved with him anymore)

compact knoll
#

But in all honesty, if nexus does have a virus scanner, idek why i had a mcafee ad popped up

fiery portal
#

and all scanners get false positives to vary rates, especially with more obscure stuff, like modding files

late nebula
#

That sounds like malware or spyware

gaunt gust
#

fwiw, I wouldn't recommend just trusting randos on the internet

#

including us

lament prairie
#

You also have to check when downloading a popular virus scanner that you’re actually download the popular virus scanner and not a similar looking thing

fiery portal
#

they can be overcautious to things they don't know about

lament prairie
#

My grandfather downloaded a thing and said “but it said Mac in the name” and I had to remove it for him

gaunt gust
#

they also alert on harmony sometimes (sensible!)

compact knoll
#

So basically, its ok if you want to double check

gaunt gust
#

The vast majority of Stardew Mods are open source

#

if you want to, you can look into the source code

lament prairie
#

But if an antivirus ad appears on a website that’s also different from a program you downloaded? I’m not totally sure what you’re describing

late nebula
#

Yeah

gaunt gust
#

(I actually do recommend it.)

compact knoll
#

But the mod i got alerts on was Life Cycle

late nebula
#

I would look into that McAfee addon or whatever it is that you're using though.

gaunt gust
#

yeah, that one isn't gonna be a virus, that's just json files

#

yeah....that addon seems sus

late nebula
#

See what the reviews and such are and if you really need it.

compact knoll
late nebula
#

Everything you're saying about whatever you're using sounds sus

lament prairie
#

Okay…was it from the website/browser or from your computer?

late nebula
#

lol

compact knoll
#

Im telling the truth, and its from a browser

lament prairie
#

Sometimes advertisements pretend to be something else on a page

compact knoll
#

a web of McAfee

gaunt gust
#

Do you have anyone in your life that you trust

compact knoll
#

The double check was from a legit Virsu scanner, saying i dont have any threats

gaunt gust
#

who is good with computers?

lament prairie
#

Did you accidentally download a browser extension from McAfee?

compact knoll
#

no

late nebula
#

I believe you. That program just sounds suspicious.

lament prairie
#

^what atravita said

compact knoll
#

Its called Trend Micro

lament prairie
#

It’s hard for us to say anything without seeing your computer

compact knoll
#

The double check i mean

late nebula
#

Oh that

compact knoll
#

no worries. you guys were trying to help

dire fractal
#

one doubt, convenient chests works on stardew mobile?

late nebula
#

It's about as bad as McAfee to be honest

compact knoll
#

But at least it was a legit virus scanner. not some random website

gaunt gust
late nebula
#

Oh geez it's almost 10:30 z_z

compact knoll
#

same

dire fractal
compact knoll
#

But the thing is, i dont believe in sleep

#

even if its a school night for me

late nebula
gaunt gust
compact knoll
#

before i go, what mods do you guys recommend?

fiery portal
# dire fractal yep

if you click on the files tab on nexus, the mod maker put what version it works for

compact knoll
#

After all, this is what this channel is about

late nebula
#

That link looks sus.

willow shore
#

lol

lament prairie
#

^my recs

compact knoll
#

Then its that damned scam then

fiery portal
compact knoll
#

also, thank you modding community

fiery portal
#

some of those you may need an unofficial version, always check on the smapi website

compact knoll
#

i already have smapi to begin with anyway

#

but they all look cool

fiery portal
#

smapi has a page that lists all the mods and what is and isn't broken, and if it's broken what the alternative is

gaunt gust
#

I...should probably do a rec list at some point

fiery portal
#

that's what I mean

gaunt gust
#

!compat

native dragonBOT
#

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

gaunt gust
#

that's the link to the list 😛

fiery portal
#

I was being too coy I guess 😛

lament prairie
#

I should update my rec list

fiery portal
#

I just listed the ones I think improves on vanilla without cheating too much (convenient chest is a little bit cheaty, but you can turn off the more cheaty stuff too)

lament prairie
#

I don’t add things until I’ve played with them, but it takes time to play with mods

#

Also I keep getting distracted by “making mods” and such silly things

dire fractal
gaunt gust
#

It's bee a while since I've actually, like, played the game

#

and not run around in circles wondering why I'm getting a null reference error...

lament prairie
#

I was playing a lot more a month ago and then I put it down for a bit. I go through cycles of more modding vs more playing.

fiery portal
#

if that one isn't working, there might not be a version that works for mobile, but I can't be sure since I don't have mobile to try myself

late nebula
#

Every time I play, I'm like... Wow, I need to fix that.

proud hare
#

So, I'm really sorry to bother you all at this late but would anyone be willing to help me troubleshoot my sv? I've modded it and it was working just fine until sometime maybe a week before Christmas and now it will let me load my save and play for about 30 or so seconds before freezing my entire computer. I'm thinking it had something to do with the 1.5.6 update maybe?

I just have the itch to play Stardew for several hours and I can't do that at the moment because of the issue. If anyone would be willing to help that would be greatly appreciated!

compact knoll
#

Guys i just realized. The "McAfee" was a spoof

#

I took a look at the browser url, and it was a different url than the McAfee one.

late nebula
#

See

#

Sus

compact knoll
#

I looked it up, and it is known for scamming lots of people

native dragonBOT
#

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

compact knoll
#

see that, and its a scam

late nebula
compact knoll
#

no no its all good

#

Im glad i went to you ll first

compact knoll
#

Anyways, i hope you folks have a good night

Good night Stardew Valley

So... it actually doesn't matter what I do. It's more of just a time frame thing. I have been in the middle of:
Watering crops
Sitting in the bed
Sitting in a pause menu
Looking at the tv
Standing in my house
ect

#

every time I'm forced to literally hard reset my computer because I don't think it registers it as a crash or something and I can't windows button out

proven pewter
#

what cpu do you have

#

it sounds like your computer isn't powerful enough

naive drum
#

can't alt+tab out?

late nebula
#

Or is getting bogged down by something

proud hare
#

Um, I do have a relatively older laptop

proven pewter
#

I think your computer is either too slow or doesn't have enough memory

proud hare
#

but like i said, it was working perfectly fine

robust bison
#

what are your specs

lament prairie
#

How much RAM does it have?

late nebula
#

You all

lament prairie
#

Someone once said they were running the game on 2GB of ram

late nebula
#

😆

fiery portal
#

you can't even run windows 10 on 2GB 😳

proud hare
#

Again, kind of old laptop. But, the only thing that isn't very good is the graphics card

proven pewter
#

well I mean it depends on how many and which mods you are running and what else your pc is doing in the background

gaunt gust
#

might have been a tablet, the 2GB of RAM

proud hare
#

the only other thing i can think of is I think it updated to windows 11

late nebula
#

Oh yeah that will do it

gaunt gust
#

is Win 11 slower?

#

hang on, your laptop is newer than mine then...

fiery portal
#

SDV doesn't work with W11?

late nebula
#

No just as bad on resources as 10

proud hare
lament prairie
#

I have been sort of wondering if Windows 11 is behind some of the stranger performance issues reports

proven pewter
#

before you run smapi, open task manager and switch to the performance tab, then run smapi and see if any of the meters get pegged

gaunt gust
#

I didn't get to update to Win 11 and I'm somewhat sad

#

although updating would mean I would have to fix grub, which...argh

late nebula
#

Don't be

fiery portal
#

meh, I'll switch when I have to, feel no rush

robust bison
#

well, windows 11 is ugly anyways 😛

proud hare
#

cpu always gets pegged no matter what i do lol- but ive never had any issues before with other games... well save for the obvious ones like civ 6

lament prairie
#

Things like users saying "game now takes 10x longer to launch, I didn't change anything" sounds to me like it could be triggered if windows 11 updated, but hard to tell.

fiery portal
#

or maybe linux'll be good enough for primary gaming before W10 gets obsolete, but probably not

gaunt gust
#

CAD software, mate

late nebula
#

I am still irate that I can't make my taskbar icons small without a registry edit that messes up my clock... fistshakes at 11

proven pewter
#

I just miss aero glass tbh

proven pewter
#

every day I am tempted to just format my drive and install win 7

late nebula
#

11 is so... Just underdeveloped

gaunt gust
#

I actually kind of like 10, honestly

proud hare
#

is there a way to go back to 10 without... screwing up my laptop lol?

fiery portal
#

so since like the mid 2000s lol

gaunt gust
fiery portal
#

that's where I keep mine lol

gaunt gust
#

I ditched Unity for Cinamon as fast as I could

#

maybe I should learn xmonad for once

proud hare
late nebula
#

You would need to create media and backup everything

#

It would wipe your pc

proud hare
#

hmmm how do i check to make sure im on w11 cause now im worried im not

thorny viper
#

First time posting here so hello everyone and I appreciate any potential help! Basically I have a bug where I cannot seem to mine many of the bone nodes on ginger island quarry. Some of which I just walk right through. https://smapi.io/log/0392a55c91bc48bf9b56dd8e0d6a3cdc

That screen should say

#

(Maybe... i always use dxdiag but it's old like me)

proud hare
gaunt gust
#

you're on Win 10

late nebula
#

Yay 10

proud hare
#

yay 10, but also crap thats not the issue then

late nebula
#

Well it could be

robust bison
#

could be the CPU?

late nebula
#

10 is still resource intensive

proud hare
#

because i do remember it like making me do something with one drive when i booted my computer up and then the freezing started happening

naive drum
#

onedrive might be culprite

proud hare
#

thats why i thought it updated

lament prairie
#

Onedrive might be operating in the background and stealing memory

proud hare
#

everytime i've forced it to stop it uh... likes to start again

naive drum
#

winaero tweaker migth be able to get it to stop

gaunt gust
#

oh onedrive

#

on Mac it causes horrible lagginess as Mac tries to map all the folders and OneDrive screws them up

naive drum
#

also fun fact windows 10 still has aero lite!

lament prairie
#

Also, are you playing multiplayer or singleplayers?

naive drum
#

yep maythorn i see that emoji - you can download winaero tweaker to turn it on without needing to resort to Shenanigans

#

ive been considering turning it on but i dont know if it can do the purple/dark colouring i use

thorny viper
late nebula
#

I have 11 though.

naive drum
#

i dont know if windows 11 has it

proud hare
#

Trying to take an accurate screenshot of task manager has proven to be difficult. Everything keeps changing constantly with the main culprits (which are the ones that I close when I run SV) are discord, spotify, and chrome (and task manager but thats because its intensive on its own)

late nebula
#

Oh it does!

#

Wat

lament prairie
#

I like to open two windows side by side and then scan my eyes side to side rapidly

proud hare
#

The cpu does tend to spike really bad for some reason when i'm not even doing anything

lament prairie
#

Discord is a bit of a resource hog

#

But I assume you don't usually have it open when playing?

proud hare
#

nope

#

i close everything before i even attempt

naive drum
#

make sure discord is actually closing and nto just minimized to the task bar

lament prairie
#

Have you managed to kill stop onedrive?

proud hare
#

I mean I right click it and "close window"

fiery portal
#

oh that doesn't exit discord

#

you need to go to the icon in the tray, right-click that and choose quit discord

naive drum
#

(you can also disable the minimize-to-taskbar thing in discords settings under windows settings)

proud hare
#

close window, right?

#

this is right clicking the icon in the taskbar

#

I also sometimes force quit it from task manager if it's being stubborn

naive drum
#

also you might want to disable Cortana

proud hare
#

How would one do that

naive drum
#

personally i used winaero tweaker

proud hare
#

also, if the save corrupted, it would do something else right?

naive drum
#

yeah probably

#

like fail to load, or otherwise be noticably messed up

fiery portal
gaunt gust
#

yell about xml errors

proud hare
#

ah okay

gaunt gust
#

if the save is corrupted, it will yell about xml errors

proud hare
#

got it

#

thank goodness my save isn't corrupted then

#

if i got my phone out i could technically stream it live to you guys if you want

#

so you can see exactly what happens

jovial torrent
#

bro

#

how do i mess up this badly

naive drum
#

Looks like "compatibility files" is meant to...override other mods maybe?

jovial torrent
#

what

naive drum
#

It looks like an asset collection designed to overwrite other mods, which it couldn't do, because it wasn't unzipped properly

proud hare
#

well the last one seems like an easy fix. It just needs an update

naive drum
#

Also yeah you need to update IF2R - wait that's just IF2. i think we're up to immersive farm 4?

jovial torrent
#

oh

late nebula
#

What the heck did you install???

jovial torrent
#

um

late nebula
#

I need to know what did this to your poor files

#

So I can investigate and warn people away

jovial torrent
#

i downloaded all of these and contant loader

proud hare

I don't think you need the Compatibility files

Hello my friend has encountered this issue. He can't get past this window because it crashes inmediately.

naive drum
#

yeah, the stuff under Optional Files are all asset overwrites, not separate mods - and also all of them are old enough to be dubious; IF2 itself it no longer compatible and i have no idea what those 'compatibilty files' do

late nebula

Omg it has xnb files

whats an xnb file

fiery portal
#

files stardew valley itself uses

gaunt gust
#

!xnb

native dragonBOT
fiery portal
#

old mods just replaced them wholesale

naive drum
#

The format the game's files are packed in. Older mods use xnb files and want you to overwrite the game's content itself

#

this has quite a lot of flaws

proud hare
#

ah i see thats why sve needed me to download so much to work

fiery portal
#

the most primitive way to mod games, it's where most games start until smart people step in and make stuff like smapi

#

or they have built in mod support, one of the two

naive drum
#

(some mods that add large new areas pack their maps in XNB formats, as with very large maps this makes them load faster, but most don't bother)

Stardew Valley Expanded isn't updated?

It is. Make sure you update all of its dependencies (especially Custom Music + PyTK + TMXL) per the previous section. You might also need to delete the Custom Music it bundles, and install the unofficial version instead.

[#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 was broken, but is now fixed for 1.5.5+! Get the latest from Nexus.
  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)

#

(we're trying to retire this quote in favor of teaching people how the compat page works!)

fiery portal
#

compatibility page is also just good for looking for new mods, faster than nexus, shows other sites, plus the compatibility stuff

#

downside is it does only search names rather than descriptions

lament prairie
#

I do enjoy a good browse down the list

#

It's a little biased towards mods that are earlier alphabetically xD

jovial torrent
#

now that i finnaly have the mod installed how do i play the new farm layout

lament prairie
#

Make sure to pick the map type that the farm layout replaces, or if it adds a new farm layout, pick that one when you make a new save.

gaunt gust
#

for sve, pick the standard farm

jovial torrent
jovial torrent
gaunt gust
#

did you install either of the sve farms?

#

they're seperate from the main download

naive drum
#

The SVE farms are separate downloads on SVE's page as it's a case of "pick one"

jovial torrent
#

what?

#

one of these?

naive drum
#

oh that's IF4 not an SVE farm

native dragonBOT
#

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

jovial torrent
fiery portal
#

can mods add new options for starting farms, or do they always replace a farm?

#

and when they replace farm, does that affect current saves, or only new saves?

robust bison
naive drum
#

The ability to add new options for starting farms very recently

gaunt gust
#

it's very new and not all the bugs are ironed out yet

naive drum
#

i think PathosChild's small beach farm uses that feature? and nobody else has gotten around to it yet

gaunt gust

(among one: the initial TV has issues)

robust bison
#

personally I don't see it as too useful

gaunt gust
proud hare
#

anything you guys suggest doing to try and fix my problem?

(this way, if you download two versions of a mod, it'll probably give you a "do you wnat to replace files?" when you go to put the second one in, instead of just letting you install the same mod lots of times in different folders and end up with it clashing with itself)

if you were clicking on it it's possible you accidentally put it into select mode

if it says Select Mode or Select like this - press Enter, rigthclick, or esc to get out of select mode

lament prairie
#

If this happens when either a) it's loading mods or b) loading saves, best to leave it be if there's no red text in the log, possibly for up to 10 minutes. This looks like it's happening not at those times though.

strange wave
#

what happened?

naive drum
#

Kibbee's game froze and I'm checking to see if it's the thing that's easiest to fix

#

namely smapi's Select Mode, which is a thing that consoles have that stops whatevers' happening in them (in this case, running Stardew Valley with SMAPI) so you can copy or read stuff from the console without it moving on you as stuff happens

can you send a screenshot of your portraits folder

alr

gentle glen
ripe mulch
robust bison
#

you're supposed to put the portraits into a subfolder

naive drum
#

Looks like you have no Content Patcher portaits installed at all; if you have Portraiture portraits installed into your portraiture Portraits folder, you need to press P to cycle them and note that not all characters necessarily have portraits

proud hare
#

so seems like it was indeed either discord hogging up cpu, or me changing it to windowed did something. I did, however, notice that Steam has so kindly decided it wants to send not one, not two, but three entire webclient helpers to hog it up with like 25% each

#

Im actually running it okay even with discord open at the moment

esrdgthfh steam Why

ripe mulch
robust bison
naive drum
#

a folder within a folder

ripe mulch
#

wow

i dont konow that

lament prairie
#

So it could be that

naive drum
#

so they shouldnt be loose in the Portraits folder, but instead in a folder within the Portraits folder

ripe mulch
#

wait wait wiat

robust bison
#

so portraits are supposed to be in Portraits\Example Mod\, not in Portraits\

ripe mulch
#

oh

#

HOW DO I MAKE ONE???

proud hare
# naive drum esrdgthfh steam Why

Is there a way to uh, minimize the amount of resources steam is taking up, because sv doesnt even take up more than 20% most of the time

robust bison
#

move those files into that folder

ripe mulch
naive drum
#

right click in the folder, mouse over New, click Folder

ripe mulch
#

that whole file is different

robust bison
#

you need to make a new folder then

ripe mulch
#

its the baechu portrait mod

proud hare
#

it could have also had something to do with me accidentally opening a different file and then quitting to title after a while and then reopening the one that was freezing

ripe mulch
#

how do i make a new folder

naive drum
robust bison
#

right click in the folder, mouse over New, click Folder

proud hare
robust bison
#

that also works

proud hare
#

theres also a dedicated button in the top menu bar

ripe mulch
#

Soo ill name it into baechu portrait alr

#

ok lets test it out

#

its not working its still on the vanilla portrait

proud hare
#

Okay I made steam take an offline mode nap lets see if that fixed anything

ripe mulch
#

it works with this portrait

naive drum
ripe mulch
#

but in this MOd it doesnt

ripe mulch
proud hare
#

it looks like that's the mod with the issue then. Is there a baechu linus?

ripe mulch
#

its ntot the beachu portrait

#

nope they dont

#

oh yea

#

they do

#

nvm

#

Ithought ur talkign abt the anime portrait

#

the beachu they dont have one

#

but the anime portrait they do have a linus one, that's why i am using Ohodavi mod

proud hare
#

@naive drum Oh my god, my cpu has never had this low of a percent while playing any kind of game thank you so much. Steam why you do us like this?

#

hmm it might be because you have two different texture mods??? im not sure I dont really have much experience in this

ripe mulch
#

i have 2 portrait mods currently trying to use

#

but the portraiture/portrait make it possible

#

by clicking p

#

but the beachu mod are the only one working

proud hare
#

hmmm are you getting any kind of error message from smapi such as it needing to be updated?

robust bison
#

which portraits are not working?

ripe mulch
#

the anime portrait

proud hare
#

they said the beachu mod is working but the other one isnt

ripe mulch
#

ohodavi

lament prairie
#

your description seems entirely consistent with having 2 portrait mods, one that has a linus portrait and one that doesn't?

gentle glen
#

i don't know what would cause the error item , plus the 4 missing machine's SDVfortuneteller

robust bison
#

if the machines were modded, it could be JSON shuffle

naive drum
robust bison
ripe mulch
#

oh

gentle glen
naive drum
# ripe mulch

That looks like it might be a Content Patcher mod using PyTK upscale

robust bison
#

I use that mod with CP usually, but actually rn I'm loading in with that mod in portraiture the same way you have it and I'll check

gentle glen
#

i dont understand how mod would get shuffle, i always delete the old folders and get the new ones

ripe mulch
naive drum
robust bison
#

ohodavi portraits are standard resolution

ooh so ohodavi portraits would go in the Mods folder, not in portraiture's Portraits folder?

gentle glen
#

is there way i can fix that from happening

robust bison
#

yeah

robust bison
#

A lot of people in the mod comments talk about using portraiture though, I'm assuming it's because a CP and a xnb version are both up

it's just that the extraction is taking forever

gentle glen

I have PPJa Artisan Valley and Even more recipes and fruits and veggies and mizus flower more recipes and more trees these are my ppja folders i have

#

so i'm not sure which one i need to delete

robust bison
pseudo jackal
#

Oof... it's a new laptop

#

so that's concerning

robust bison
#

does anything else take a long time to extract?

#

I know, on my laptop at least, that it takes a lot longer to extract if it's a ton of really small files instead of a fewer large ones

pseudo jackal
#

I'm not sure. Ridgeside took me like 10 min tops I think?

robust bison
#

yeah, it shouldn't take that long

pseudo jackal
#

I've only had the laptop since yesterday afternoon XD

desert totem
#

this image gives me so much serotonin. I would put shane into pink purgatory if it wouldn't ruin my overall vintage aesthetic

#

A quick google says it might be defender that's the issue shrug

robust bison
#

oh yeah, if you have an antivirus scanning each files as it's extracting it could take longer

pseudo jackal

It probably set up the antivirus automatically sigh

lament prairie

usually when I extract something it's nearly instantaneous

pseudo jackal

because heaven forbid opt in is a thing anymore

gentle glen

i'm going try updating the flouris to famer, but not sure which old folder i need to delete

naive drum
#

do not get the newest version it is broken

gentle glen
#

i don't know if i have the new one

naive drum
#

You dont

#

You have the JA verson. The broken one uses DGA and shows up under DGA in the top section of the log.

gentle glen
#

do i need DGA mod than

naive drum
#

do not get the newest Farmer to Florist, it is broken

#

Also you already have DGA installed.

#

You can uninstall DGA if you want, since you don't currently have any mods that use it

gentle glen
#

i got it when someone told me i need it

naive drum
#

(although for all I know you're planning to install some DGA furniture)

gentle glen
#

nope not at this time

#

i think 162 mods is alot

robust bison
#

err, what usually causes this again?

gentle glen
#

i have error items and missing machines

naive drum
robust bison
#

yeah

#

my food mod also seems to not be loading textures

gentle glen
#

so it not just me than

naive drum
#

Lux's Food Mod does that sometimes

robust bison
#

is it usually fixed by relaunching?

gentle glen
#

my stardew valley automailly updateds

lament prairie
robust bison
lament prairie
#

Yeah, it's PyTK's fault

robust bison
#

I wonder if it's linked to the mods I added

lament prairie
#

But it's unlikely to be fixed anytime soon because....PyTK

#

It's weakly linked, has to do with load order

#

If you added something alphabetically after Lux's Food Mod then that would be it, but load order is also not always alphabetical if there are dependencies around

gentle glen
#

i don't have that mod

robust bison
#

do you think moving lux's to the bottom of the list would help?

lament prairie
#

I was talking to Arcane, not you Isis

#

It would maybe help but maybe not

#

The most reliable way is to add the false dependencies

#

Since that's how SMAPI fixes load order

robust bison
#

weird

#

it seems to also have messed up my tilesheets

lament prairie
#

It does something along the lines of "once rescaling happens, no other edits will work"

#

And Lux's food mod is 24px by 24px

#

There's a surprising amount of stuff on springobjects.png—wdym by messed up tilesheets?

robust bison
lament prairie
#

is this the patchy recolor bits?

robust bison
#

yeah

lament prairie
#

They probably reorder two of your recolors that were conflicting, but in the opposite order

#

The invisible stuff on the ground is more springobjects things probably

gentle glen
#

so i started up my game and here is the error items

lament prairie
#

Since they added basically all the popular recolors to their dependencies, they reorder the load order of them

robust bison
#

the quickest fix would be removing lux's food mod right

pseudo jackal
#

well it's still taking a while, but turning off defender put it at 2x the previous speed 🤣

lament prairie
robust bison
#

hmm

lament prairie
# gentle glen https://gyazo.com/2b21acf3a4407794b58a51c8234722b2

My guess is that you previously installed DGA farmer to florist (the bad DGA F2F version), then did some things. Then you uninstalled it and put in the good JA F2F version, but you still had some stuff leftover from the bad DGA F2F, which is these error items.

gentle glen
#

i'm not sure what the item is but i did get it from the golden bear stauts i have

lament prairie
#

Well I have no idea what a golden bear statue is

#

Maybe instead it's a different mod

gentle glen
#

one moment i'm find the name of it

#

Staute of endless Fortune

#

i have two of them

lament prairie
#

Something is broken then, but I have no idea what without a log

gentle glen
#

and i have Staute of True Prefection and Staute Of Perfection

lament prairie
#
  1. is it someone's birthday?
#
  1. whose?
gentle glen
#

the end of fall and it Susan birthday

lament prairie
#

It's probably trying to produce one of Susan's loved gifts

#

I'm not familiar with Susan because she's from SVE

#

I'm not sure why it would give you an error item though

#

You might need to ask in the SVE discord

gentle glen
#

i gave her chocolate cake

#

i might have to go in there ask them about than

#

anyways i found something neat i didn't know you can adopt , a horse 😄

lament prairie
#

that would probably be adopt n skin

gentle glen
#

yeah it was so now i have another horse on my farm

robust bison
#

ok, removing lux's fixed the sprites, but the tile mismatch is still present

lament prairie
#

that's probably a recolor load order or a messed up recolor

#

you can do a patch summary and check for things that edit Maps/fall_outdoors

#

!patchsummary

native dragonBOT
#

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.

great, now to wait 20 more minutes to load in

You have:
Better Water
Eemie's Just a New Map Recolor
Medieval Buildings
SVE
all editing fall_outdoors

robust bison
#

yeah I'm disabling eemies

lament prairie
#

It's probably a conflict between some of these; you can check by doing patch export Maps/fall_outdoorsTileSheet as well to see what the actual tilesheet looks like

robust bison
#

huh, manually disabling a mod causes Stardrop/SMAPI to freak out

timid copper
#

Why is UI info Suite not updated

lament prairie

[#5758] "Vortex (Nexus) and Mod Drop both are mod managers that can help you keep your mods up to date. Unfortunately, both of them occasionally have issues with Stardew Valley mods, including but not limited to deleting files, mangling configs, and causing opaque errors. You can still use them, but if you run into issues and ask for help troubleshooting, the first piece of advice you’ll get is to stop using the mod manager, because it may obscure the real issue or be the cause of your issue.

If you want to stop using a mod manager, it's pretty easy to mod Stardew Valley manually! Just follow the instructions in this wiki page: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started" - @lament prairie (14 Nov 2021 @ 07:40:32 PM UTC)

ops
i just wanted to play stardew valley expanded

dire fractal
#

You can. Moddrop just seems to have an issue? At least SVE on its own shouldn't cause freezing I think.

#

If you were running other expansions and lots of JA mods I wouldn't be surprised if it freezes occasionally

ashen jacinth
#

well now to take two more weeks to uninstall moddrop and reinstall everything

ashen jacinth

#

SVE might be too big then? Though I dunno what SVE needs. I don't use it any more.

ashen jacinth
#

is freezing a common issue w/moddrop?

dire fractal
#

I don't know sorry, I don't use mod manager but if you want to keep using one I'd recommend Stardrop

Do you need smapi for anime portraits?

#

Depends on the mod. If it's xnb, no, but we also don't recommend using them

#

!xnbzola

native dragonBOT
#

An XNB mod replaces some of your game's .xnb files to change the game (unlike newer mods that go in your Mods folder). This is an older type of mod that's no longer recommended, and can cause a number of issues. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods for help using them (and a list of alternatives using Content Patcher), and https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Editing_XNB_files for help unpacking & editing them (including for use with Content Patcher).

when downloading the blue one (Stardew Valley Expanded) and you also want one of the custom farms, choose either one of the red ones. Information on what they look like is in the description of the mod page
