Okay, great, then you're launching SMAPI

You should have a log

[winter marsh]

But it won’t load the mods

[lament prairie]

!log can you do this?

[native dragon]

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

[tough stream]

so wait i have all the prerequisite mods installed with the nexus mod mangager do i remove them for it and instal them manualy or leave them alone?

[lament prairie]

I don't know the first thing about the Nexus mod manager unfortunately

My personal recommendation is to install everything manually for the reasons stated above, but I don't even know enough to tell you how to turn off the Nexus mod manager without breaking things

[west moth]

my friend cant find the mods folder after installing smapi, we're both strugglin

we dunno what to do

[lament prairie]

What OS?

[west moth]

windows

[lament prairie]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Find_your_game_folder

Inside your game folder, there should be a folder titled "Mods"

[west moth]

thank you

i had no difficulty installing mods n smapi, but she is having a handful of difficulties so idk wahhh >___>

[winter marsh]

Here you go https://smapi.io/log/d4d0ddf0f6e94556a24d3d3a5ab0bb74

[gaunt gust]

okay smapi seems to be running. have you unzipped any mods into your mods directory?

[dusky wraith]

Hi Can someone help me to install the mod? I'm new and I don't know anything

[winter marsh]

is that a problem?

[jolly hazel]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started

[random finch]

So- I played the game normally first and it worked fine, then it worked fine with mods but when I tried to get on to the game yesterday it was running v slow and almost didn't even open the game?

[jolly hazel]

it can take a while to first load the game when you have a lot of mods installed - that's totally normal! if the actual game is laggy tho, i'm not sure what could be causing that :/ maybe a bad mod?

[dusky wraith]

I could not solve the problem with the help of the wiki, I think it is something more complex

I could not solve the problem with the help of the wiki, I think it is something more complex

[random finch]

I took all of the mods off and it's still opening/running slow

Also I had played with the mods before and it's running slow now tho. I'm not sure what's causing it.

[late nebula]

You will need to expand on what your issue is. Otherwise no one will have any idea how to help you.

[late nebula]

What do you mean by running slow?

[tough osprey]

Does Stardew Valley Reimagined 2 work with SDVE? It looks vanilla to me

[random finch]

It takes forever to open and then when I'm in game it'll freeze/load randomly whenever I try to do anything.

[late nebula]

I don't think so.

[late nebula]

That is normal for modding. It can take a while to load sometimes. You can share a log if you want us to see if there is anything specific that catches our attention though.

!log

[native dragon]

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

[random finch]

I took the mods off to see if that's the problem it's still running and opening slow tho?

[late nebula]

Did you load a fresh save or try to use one that had been modded?

[random finch]

I tried a new save, I also followed the trouble shooting guide.

[late nebula]

Hmm.

Might want to see if another program is hogging your system's resources.

[random finch]

How do I check that?

[late nebula]

Task manager or whatever the equivalent is for your operating system.

[random finch]

Okay, thank you.

[late nebula]

While you're at it, see if you need to do updates for the OS or for a graphics card driver and all that if you have one.

[quartz jetty]

Is there a working PyTK for the current build of the game anywhere? When i try and run the 1.22.9 version for the beta it crashes in launch.

[late nebula]

!compat here

[native dragon]

See https://smapi.io/mods for a searchable list of mods updated for the latest versions of SMAPI and Stardew Valley, with links to download them. :)

[random finch]

Okay

[dusky wraith]

ok, I don't have the original game but I have version 1.5.5, the smapi I also have it in its latest version and I installed 2 mods in the game, both their latest version (one of them the mods list update), and when I want to review the Smapi (the command console) to see if I install the mods opens and closes in 1 second. When I open the game to see if any mods are installed, I don't see any mods installed. What I can do? -Thanks.

[gaunt gust]

wdym "don't have the original game"

[late nebula]

Why don't you have 1.5.6?

[quartz jetty]

Ok, so I see you didn't read my question. I'll ask again, my game crashes on launch when I use that version of PyTK, is that something I can fix or am I just not able to play the game?

The forum link says it's for 1.5.5 of the game

and I am launching 1.5.6

[gaunt gust]

so, for some people pytk just causes a crash to desktop

we're not quite sure why

thankfully, basically every mod is moving away from pytk right now

[lament prairie]

for many of them, waiting and leaving it alone fixes it

maybe about half that I've seen

[quartz jetty]

Well I have some mods that rely on PyTK, so i guess I will just delay my re-play of the game

[late nebula]

!log Can you make a log?

[native dragon]

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

[dusky wraith]

No

[neat plaza]

why not?
oh right crashes on startup

[gaunt gust]

fun stuff

[late nebula]

Yeah, not sure. I guess try to update the game and see if that fixes it.

[gaunt gust]

try reinstalling the game - might be a NET 5.0 thing

Or rather, did it install correctly?

[brave grail]

Thank you

[dusky wraith]

Have the zip sent

[gaunt gust]

Corias - I have zero clue what you're talking about.

Where did you buy the game from?

[dusky wraith]

Don't buy it, this is the zip

Ahh I can't send the zip

[gaunt gust]

I don't help pirates. At all.

[dusky wraith]

Well I'm asking for help in general, not only yours, but Thank you for the intention

[late nebula]

I don't think we can actually help you.

Aside from the rules, it's nearly impossible to debug mod problems with pirated copies of the game.

[dusky wraith]

Thanks All

[dusky wraith]

If I also think it's because of the pirate game, I'll buy it soon. thank you all very much for the help. Enjoy your farms

[bleak jewel]

thanks!

[livid magnet]

Random thing happen: all my items in my chest 'poofed' the items are there- but the icons are non visble and it only became Winter 1 ( fall it was working jsut fine

[serene charm]

would this be the right place to ask for help with a specific mod? it's a commonly used one (as far as i know) so hopefully someone can help me out, but i don't wanna break any rules =3

[gaunt gust]

You can? which mod.

[late nebula]

Json asset problems maybe? You can try to spawn them in again with Item Spawner and see if that fixes it.

[gaunt gust]

do you have lux's food mod

[livid magnet]

I do actually have Lux's food mod

[lament prairie]

that'd be it

[late nebula]

Ah that's probably the culprit.

You can set the affected mods as false dependencies in Lux's Food Mod's manifest and that should fix it.

[serene charm]

More Recipes - a part of the PPJA mod bundle that has Artisan Valley and what not. There's a recipe that I can't seem to get to show up (Mint Tea). The github page says it shows up in Winter from Gus, but he didn't have it. I checked the actual file in my mod file and it say 'spring summer fall' so i waited til spring and i still don't see it with Gus.

[lament prairie]

How to fix:
Run patch summary
Make a list of all mods that touch springobjects.png
Then add false dependencies to Lux's Food Mod for those

[devout pumice]

New quote added by Maythorn as #5848 (https://discordapp.com/channels/137344473976799233/678284714829807636/937456424739553320)

[late nebula]

Not that I ever remember quotes, but that was a good format for the answer.

[gaunt gust]

are you using teh dga or ja version?

[serene charm]

JA

[livid magnet]

False dependancies?

[gaunt gust]

okay so it should be available in winter, I'm not sure why it's not then (z spring summer fall = not spring, not summer, and not fall)

^For HeartQuintessence

[serene charm]

I notice that More Recipes is a bit...bugged in general for me. For example one recipe that uses vegetables - Broth - keeps pulling basically wahtever it can find to make it. It used up all the Mint Leaves I planted so idk

[lament prairie]

In particular, check out the section on dependecies

[faint dragon]

Hi would anyone be able to help me understand how to add bfav mods? i have the new unofficial update for it and im on windows and dont get a smapi error and i added a crustation mod and lines of code to config but nothing seems to work

[late nebula]

If you open LFM's manifest, you'll see some examples already there.

[serene charm]

I guess i'll try a fresh install

[lament prairie]

Recipes normally pull whatever they can find, starting with your inventory

And moving through your fridges, I forget L to R or R to L

[gaunt gust]

last slot to first

[livid magnet]

Ok what? *but opens the Manifest for LM

[serene charm]

That'd be all well and good if Mint Leaves were tagged as a Vegetable. But it's an Herb - the broth recipe only uses Vegetables so idk why it's taking that lol

[gaunt gust]

there's also a "placement order thing" but god knows how I placed these fridges

[lament prairie]

An Herb isn't a real category, it's a Vegetable under the hood

[gaunt gust]

(I'm lazy - I don't cook maki rolls or sashimi in my farmhouse)

[serene charm]

Well that's confusing and sucky. Wonderful lol

[late nebula]

Elizabeth also answered. Scroll up a bit to see more about it.

[serene charm]

Is there a way to spawn the recipe in my inventory or set it as learned to my farmer? because I looked all Winter and the recipe never appeared =/

[livid magnet]

Lookingh at the webpage but not sure how to interpert this to fix my issue @lament prairie

[late nebula]

Item Spawner maybe?

[serene charm]

tried that, recipes don't show up with Item Spawner. just items.

[late nebula]

It's easier to help if you ask a specific question.

[gaunt gust]

there's a debug command

[lament prairie]

It might be more helpful to look at the manifest.json in Lux's Food Mod, you just need to copy a section under dependencies and patten-match

[serene charm]

Do tell

• or alternatively, how would i go about editing the object's file in my mods folder to make the recipe appear in Spring?

[gaunt gust]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Console_commands#Cooking_and_crafting

just remove the spring from z spring summer fall

[serene charm]

Thank you. I'll do this

[serene charm]

I just noticed i have both the DGA and the JA version in my folder. should i just pick one or the other?

[gaunt gust]

yeah, use the ja version

the dga version of all ppja stuff have....issues

[serene charm]

Noted. I'll check the other mods i have too then. ty much!

[livid magnet]

So am I copying the sectiopn under dependanies and pattern match in LUX Food Mod?

[lament prairie]

look at Lux's Food Mod's manifest

It should already have a whole bunch of dependencies in there

[livid magnet]

I see them

[lament prairie]

You should take a section corresponding to exactly 1 of them, and copy/paste it

then change the mod's uniqueID field

To whichever of your mods is patching springobjects.png and isn't already there

[livid magnet]

so like this:
"Dependencies":[
{
"UniqueID":"Platonymous.Toolkit",
"IsRequired":true
},

[lament prairie]

Yes but any of the other ones

Not that one, because that one is required

[twilit mural]

hey i wanna play with a friends do they need all the same mods as me?

[lament prairie]

!mpmods

[native dragon]

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

[livid magnet]

All these exist

[lament prairie]

You want it to be:

"Dependencies":[
        {
            "UniqueID":"Platonymous.Toolkit",
            "IsRequired":true
        },
        //all the other stuff here
        {
            "UniqueID": "myothermod's unqiue ID here",
            "IsRequired": "false"
        },
]```

[livid magnet]

Everything else is /FALSE/

[lament prairie]

Yes, that's right

You need to figure out which of your mods is not in that list but is patching springobjects.png

In order to do that, run a patch summary

!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.

[lament prairie]

Then search through the log for what is editing Maps/springobjects.png

So far I haven't found anything

Hello again - bugging you guys about the More recipes mod again. i tried using the console commands to get the Mint Tea recipe and this is what I got back:

debug cookingrecipe Mint Tea
[Console Commands] Sent debug command to the game, but there was no output.

i'm at a loss as to why I can't get this one Mint Tea recipe to appear lol

[gaunt gust]

check to make sure if you have the recipe or not

the console commands tend to not output a nything

[copper wadi]

can you have IF2R and Grampleton Fields installed at once?

[dire fractal]

Most BFAV Content Packs don't require you do to anything beyond adding them to your Mod Folder . Or are you trying to add your own custom animal?

[serene charm]

ahh it's there, console command worked. awesome

[ember salmon]

i need heellpp.... i can't update smapi

im trying to remove my old smapi and this happens

[gaunt gust]

just run the new installer, it'll clean up old versions on its own

[naive drum]

!bfav

[native dragon]

@faint dragon BFAV stands for Better Farm Animal Variety, a mod by Paritee which lets you add new breeds of animals to live in coops and barns. The official version (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3296) is broken in Stardew Valley 1.5 and an unofficial update is linked on the mod compatibility page (https://stardewcommunitywiki.com/Modding:Mod_compatibility#Paritee.27s_Better_Farm_Animal_Variety). Documentation for the Content Pack format is available on github (https://github.com/paritee/Paritee.StardewValley.Frameworks/blob/bfav-3.0.0/BetterFarmAnimalVariety/README.md)

[naive drum]

Maje sure you're using the version posted on the forums, as that's the o e that works in 1.5

[copper wadi]

is Grampleton fields part of IF2R because I can't find it separately

[faint dragon]

im not sure i just saw some bfav mods on nexus that say to add a line of code to the config file

[faint dragon]

thank you ill look into it! ive spent so much time trying to make it work i hope thisll be the answer!

[ember salmon]

i tried that and it denied me

[trim sable]

I'm at step 3, the game file doesn't do anything different when i hold shift and right click

[ember salmon]

sorry update it works now ^^

[copper wadi]

is Grandpa's Farm the same as Grandpa's foraging farm because the Grandpa's Farm file will not download for some reason at Nexus

[gaunt gust]

hold shift and right click in the blank space of the file explorer

[trim sable]

@gaunt gust

[lament prairie]

are you on gamepass?

(atravita doesn't like pings fyi)

[trim sable]

oh im sorry

[lament prairie]

Also, you updated SMAPI?

SMAPI should be the one making the deps.json

Did you run the SMAPI installer for 3.13.4 and get green text at the end?

[rare quest]

Grampleton Fields is on the bottom of the downloads page on Nexus Mods.

[trim sable]

yeah, i updated smapi, stardew and every single mod i have. i dont have gamepass this is for steam
smapi launcher won't even open and give me the error message

the window flashes on my screen for a second and then goes away

[lament prairie]

Yeah, this is unhappy because you're missing a file that normally SMAPI should create

Just to run through the SMAPI steps:
You downloaded from smapi.io or Nexus
You right clicked and ran install on windows.bat
The installer finished with green text?

[trim sable]

i deleted startup preferences if that does anything

[lament prairie]

It almost looks like an error that could happen when you install SMAPI manually and skip a step?

[gaunt gust]

(don't worry about the pings: I finally figured out how to turn them off)

[lament prairie]

nice!

[trim sable]

i installed on smapi.io, i had to extract the files through winrar so i did that, and then i ran it and the installer finished

ill uninstall it and try again

[lament prairie]

no need to uninstall

but you can try installing again

[gaunt gust]

so, in general, for net 5.0 stuff, you might want to reinstall everything

that includes the game

because the game bundles a copy of NET 5.0 and that's what SMAPI runs off of

If that doesn't work I guess try installing NET 5.0 seperately (download from Microsoft's webpage)

and installing SMAPI 3.13.0

[trim sable]

thank you so much, and sorry for the ping, reinstalling worked!

[copper wadi]

@rare quest can you use grampleton and Granpa's farm together?

[rare quest]

Yes

[trim sable]

i only have one shoptileframework folder, is this mod also broken?

[lament prairie]

the tmx thing seems wrong

you probably needed to delete the old SVE folder before updating

[copper wadi]

this is my directory called Expanded for SVE and that is what my shortcut says but it won't run...I wanted to keep it separate from my normal mod folder

any ideas why?

[ashen elbow]

i got an out of memory error from portraiture uh

[late nebula]

I wonder if it doesn't work the same for games pass

Don't you all have to change the name of 'StardewModdingAPI.exe' to something else?

[copper wadi]

oh we had to change it to stardew valley, let me try that..,.

[lament prairie]

OOM frequently doesn't mean anything when it triggers on a specific mod, it just means it happened to run out then

[ashen elbow]

i closed my 100+ chrome tabs will that help

[copper wadi]

That didn't work either

any other ideas

I went back to my semi-vanilla and I have STF in my regular mods folder but SMAPI just skipped it, how do I show you guys the log of what it just did

[#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.

Just installed latest update for SVExpanded, but my game has lost the custom extra npcs, checked the discussion on SVE Nexus, but this issue wasn't addressed (though someone had same problem). Have checked I have updated all the associated files.

[ashen elbow]

thats weird

any red text in log?

[brisk elk]

Not red, but not loaded due to "have you uninstalled a custom npc file. checked the error log, seems SVE was not installing properly. Deleted files it said were duplicates, will try again

[quaint copper]

when I start the game the loading screen freezes PD when I open it with SAMPI to run the mods is when it happens to me

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

[keen wadi]

Is there a mod that lets me buy cooking recipes? All of the ones Ive tried do not work in 1.5

[brisk elk]

Got it working again but Grandpas Farm is very different! May have not been using new SVE farm previously, but it puts all my neatly stored stuff into places I cannot access! May just have to abandon all my old farms and start again. What fun!

[ashen elbow]

use noclip

its a lifesaver

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/520?tab=files does this mod work on mobile?

[gentle glen]

I just update two of my mod's i went from 165 to 148 mods

[pliant night]

i believe you need to update the farm along with sve itself

[cursive smelt]

Tried using the game with Ui Info Suite and Smapi says skipped, no longer compatible. Nexus says it's up to date. Anyone else having this issue?

You need Custom NPC Exclusions, Extra Map Layers, and SAAT.

So I don't need Custom NPC Fix's

okay ill try looking for it thank you!

@late nebula wow i went from 165 to 168 mods

i think that fix it

it working now Thank you @late nebula

[faint dragon]

@late nebula hey the mod now loads but there are some mods on nexus that say i need to add a line of code to better farm animals config to get them working do you know anything about that?

the config folder is super simple like that

[late nebula]

I have no idea.

I haven't used BFAV since like 2019.

[faint dragon]

oh dang

[late nebula]

Configs are generated automatically

[faint dragon]

it looks like that but if you dont know that alright thank you for the help so far though!

[late nebula]

So if you add something that the code doesn't actually set up, it will just be ignored.

[faint dragon]

ohh okay

[late nebula]

They may have meant changing a config.

You could always try it and see if it works.

The worst thing that will probably happen is that SMAPI is like

[faint dragon]

yeah youre right! ill give it a shot

[faint dragon]

@late nebula yeah im not sure if i can get it working for mods like that one i just dont understand but thank you for all the help!!

[shy orbit]

that was required on older BFAV versions. not sure if the old type BFAV content packs are compatible with the newer BFAV that doesn't require you to change the config

[faint dragon]

yeah i think it may not be compatible anymore. such a shame there were so many ones i wanted to use that were older!!!

@shy orbit

Anyone have any ideas? It goes straight to the main menu whenever I load a save

[shy orbit]

i don't know what's the problem, but the No idea what '281' is! warning looks like it's either a small mistake in a mod or a problem with native files, because that's the id for the chanterelle mushroom. reset game files maybe if you haven't tried it already

@sharp pike that was meant for you

[sharp pike]

Thanks

[shy orbit]

the content.json of the mod is badly formatted, you can upload it to smapi.io/json if you want to try to fix it yourself. your SVE install is messed up though, i'd remove all of it and do a reinstall (and check the new requirements)

[desert totem]

Ah yeah I'll do a full reinstall of that rq

I didn't think to check for requirements I didn't have

Yep, extra map layers. Didn't even see that

I don't quite see whats up with line 6, its just a bracket I may just leave a message on the mod page and uninstall it

So many recolours for craftables are broken for some reason

[coarse crane]

im having issues installing the custom movies

this red box is whats keeping my movie theater from happening

[sharp pike]

@shy orbit Thanks again for the help. You fixed it!

[desert totem]

Upon further inspection I think the issue is the lack of "Changes": [ (since it had a bracket at the end but not the beginning). Currently launching, I'll give the OP my finds probably if it works.

Well I didn't get an error, but it thinks the images in the assets folded don't exist

At least I'll have something to tell the mod author to help out

Yep, it works! Now I'm having other errors~

My dumb self just forgot to install sve I opened my save fully once, will my save corrupt or anything

I'm fixing it now I'm just. Sigh.

[strong fractal]

Is there a mod that removes the dialogue that npcs say when they buy one of your crops from pierre?

I didn't see one while I was perusing the dialogue mods on nexus

[little hemlock]

hey guys, quick question.
I have already downloaded the unofficial PYTK's files,
It works fine but today, I finally have the energy to force through to do some portraits art for my mod.
As I was going to check in-game for the portraits, while smapi is loading and doing its thing, it stated that PYTK has a new update from Jan5, is the updated one working or not? if not I going to wait and keep using this unofficial one which works fine for me atm.

[naive drum]

pyTK doesn't have an official update but there might be an unofficial update?

[ornate pawn]

Is content patcher animation compatible with mobile version?

[hoary bane]

If there is a version compatible with Android, it should be in the download options ^^

[white monolith]

You have to completely download a mod again to update it?

Help what do I do to update Smapi

[true dock]

Sure, updating your mods usually involves just downloading the newest version and replacing your current files with the one you've just downloaded

[white monolith]

Which files do I delete to update smapi?

[true dock]

Updating SMAPI is as simple as downloading the newest version, unzipping it, and running its installer

None of them! SMAPI does a clean install each time you update

[white monolith]

Oh ok thanks

does the new SVE update add anything new?

I was playing on the previous version hopefully nothing bad happens to the world

[dusty spruce]

you can check the changelog

Version 1.14.1
    Increased monster seed drop rates at the Highlands.
    Made Highland Mushroom mobs blue during the winter season instead of grey.
    Slightly increased knock back for the Diamond Wand. Doesn't reflect if already obtained.
    Fixed an issue where Sophia's 14 heart event crashed the game.
    Fixed an issue where Claire's marriage dialogue didn't load into the game.
    Fixed an issue where Andy still visited Aurora Vineyard if players refurbished it, trampling their crops and decorations.
    Fixed an issue where players could place farm buildings in out of bound areas on Grandpa's Farm.
    Fixed an issue where some of the new crop tilesheets weren't correctly centered.
    Fixed several map tiling errors at the Highlands.
    Fixed tiling issues on Grandpa's Farm.

[thorny crystal]

SVE has a pretty active Discord :)

brand new because hack

[torn rune]

Would any of y'all know if SVE/Immersive Farm 2 Remastered's custom greenhouse works with other mods that affect greenhouses? This one, mainly https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8042?tab=description

[shy orbit]

i really doubt it, because that mod replaces the greenhouse map too (and does some other stuff with it). probably need to disable the IF2R greenhouse in its config if you want to use it. you could however use the IF2R greenhouse with this probably You can change the upgrade maps used by replacing Greenhouse_1.tmx and/or Greenhouse_2.tmx

[torn rune]

Hm alright. Probably just gonna disable it then since I like the upgrades provided. Thanks

[thorny crystal]

I have a custom greenhouse mod, and in IFR2 I do disable the greenhouse 🙂 Just remember to disable it again when there's an update 😂

My Custom Crystalarium mod bugged out It keeps sending the mail about it, even when I disabled it

I read the mail the first day, all good.
Second day, it keeps being there. I read it, open next mail, same one. Ad infinitum

Oh-kay, it is EVERY mail. It's not the mod. Now to hunt and see which mod bugged it out o.O

[jaunty fractal]

I asked the other day, but different people may be online, does anyone have a solution to the random stuttering that SMAPI has started to introduce with 3.13.4, even with no other mods loaded
(c.f. https://www.reddit.com/r/SMAPI/comments/s3fk8j/game_stutters_when_i_walk_with_no_fps_drop/)

see also https://www.reddit.com/r/SMAPI/comments/s8jqmz/frame_drops_and_lag_after_update/

[shy orbit]

you don't happen to have FeTK? it's known to break mail

[thorny crystal]

Yup. I deleted it, but that means my Tool Delivery mod doesn't work It's weird because it worked for me before I redid my mods, and I had both before

[dusty spruce]

Mail Services Mod does the same thing and more, and uses the Mail Framework Mod

[thorny crystal]

Yea but only ToolDelivery one works with Love of Cooking sadly

I am gonna use the FeTK one I deleted yesterday, see if that helps

yay for being too lazy to clean out my recycle bin?

Welp that worked. Not gonna question it 😂

[livid magnet]

Anyone have a suggestion on for figuring out if I need PYTK and TMX loader mods anyonre more for anything (since I have like 146 mods)

[dusty spruce]

generally if you have any content mods adding new maps, then you most likely need those

[livid magnet]

I think just SDVE and Ridgeside nothing else adding new maps that I can remember

[dusty spruce]

Ridgeside definitely needs PyTK

[livid magnet]

Ahh then.. I'll keep it hmm

[snow fox]

I just started a new game today, I made a completely new mods folder. Every time I enter the bus stop to do the ridgside into scene on Day 1, my game crashes.
https://smapi.io/log/ce895c9dec1247dab8860227fcb93f37

[thorny crystal]

you have quite a few mods that are outdated

try updating them and see if it fixes things

[dire fractal]

Remove Pytk and TMXLoader, start your game and watch the smapi window. It should give you errors about certain mods not being able to be added because of missing dependencies. After that just remove those and you should be good.

[thorny crystal]

Easiest way of removing them is put a "." in front of the name, SMAPI will skip them but they're still in the folder, so easy to reverse

[stuck stratus]

any ideas on the weird clipping? 🤔 this didn't happen before 1.14 SVE

[quartz jetty]

Anyone know if there is a fix for the pal_SEHException error with the unofficial pyTK mod for linux?

[thorny crystal]

Did you install today's update for Grandpa's Farm?

[shy orbit]

when does it happen? i haven't seen it but on the other hand i haven't played much with the unofficial pytk

[quartz jetty]

Immediatly on launch, smapi launches then crashes with that error. it happens when pyTK is the only mod loaded, so its not due to another mod

[gaunt gust]

I googled it and ended up in a very confusing page on dotnet's official github repo, so...

apparently it's "an error message dotnet is not supposed to leak anymore"

so try reinstalling the game, but otherwise...I don't actually know.

[shy orbit]

hm. well, most mods are attempting to move away from pytk so there's hope you won't need it soon-ish

[gaunt gust]

you could try installing the NET 5.0 runtime for your OS and using SMAPI 3.13.0 (the last version that uses the system NET 5.0 vs the bundled version)

but that's all I got

[quartz jetty]

Wait, it's not crashing now, let me see if its PlatoTK thats causing it

[gaunt gust]

oh, hum

pytk and platotk are not actually compatiable, despite being by the same author

[quartz jetty]

Yeah it's PlatoTK that is causing it I have both because https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1133?tab=files says it needs both

Unless I am a moron and misread it, which I think I did

[gaunt gust]

use the aedenthorn mod that lets you plant an entire field at once instead, maybe

[quartz jetty]

Ok it looks like that mod doesn't need PyTK at all, I feel like a dumkoff now. Thank you for the help

[stuck stratus]

whoops, that was it. 😅 thank you !!

[simple ermine]

Is it possible to get mods on the mobile version? I haven't really looked anywhere yet

[royal tundra]

yep! But it's a bit tricky

hang on, let me dig out the link

[dusty spruce]

and not all of them

[simple ermine]

Okay thanks

[dusty spruce]

(and only on Android)

[simple ermine]

Yupp im on Android

[royal tundra]

!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.

[royal tundra]

effectively, you can only use mods that were made for version 1.4, and can't use a few of the more complicated technical mods due to subtle differences in the mobile vs PC game code

[simple ermine]

Do you have any suggested mobile mods? And is there a way to tell the difference between one that is not compatible

[royal tundra]

you'll want a version of a mod that is either marked as the mobile/android version, or is from before Dec 20th 2020.

https://stardewmodding.miraheze.org/wiki/Mobile_Modding_Compatibility

this list has some recs

[brave grail]

Me again

Can't get to my computer ATM since I'm in school, but for when I get home:

Is there a way for me to have multiple mods but only apply some to a farm? Or are all my mods forced on all my farms?

[ashen elbow]

!modgroups

[native dragon]

See this link for how to load different mod groups: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Can_I_have_different_mod_groups.3F

[copper wadi]

Ever since I tried to install SVE with different mod groups, the shortcut doesn't work and when I go back to my regular mods folder it skips over STF and tells me I need another mod which I forget the name of but I know it's there and it says patching game files and runs

I am on gamepass and took the proper steps to get smapi to run but my SVE shortcut does not work

[hoary bane]

Consequences of having DGA and JSON simultaneously?

[copper wadi]

are you asking me? What's DGA?

[hoary bane]

No haha, not asking you in particular. Just anyone with better knowledge of it ^^

[copper wadi]

oh ok, I thought it pertained to what I was talking about

is there anyone here who has successfully run SVE on GamePass for PC?

with different mod groups...

if so, can I copy your shortcut target text, please because I have all of the mods set up in the specific mod folder but the shortcut won't run

<sigh> I'd go back to playing the sims but I's have to deal with mods there too

I'm quite frustrated

what I'm dealing with

[royal tundra]

having them in your mod list? Nothing, unless you have a DGA shirt, then everything crashes. (Known bug, is being worked on). Using both of them to add items in the same mod? A bit silly and possibly could cause issues.

[honest pollen]

Smapi still doesnt work right?

[ashen elbow]

it works?

[royal tundra]

What do you mean?

[ashen elbow]

im confused

[honest pollen]

Smapi in vortex

[ashen elbow]

oh yeah

[royal tundra]

Nope, install SMAPI manually

[honest pollen]

Ok then ill go hate my life cus i dunno how to so it other way AND reading the wiki or videos has never helped me

[ashen elbow]

you download it, extract it, and then run the installer for whatever os you're on

[copper wadi]

I just don't understand why it isn't working...

[honest pollen]

Así i just said reading has never helped me

Like even if it says what to so i just dont understand

[copper wadi]

I feel stupid because everyone else seems to be able to use SVE but me

[solemn shoal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJxhUzE9NS8

Will a random video help, then?

[ashen elbow]

i'd install mods for people who couldn't figure out how to if i could lol

but sve, you get all the requirements first, then the mod itself

[honest pollen]

How can i see the files of the mods i installed on vortex o do i have to install them again but manually

[ashen elbow]

you have to install them manually

[honest pollen]

Oh ok this Is gonna take a while

[late nebula]

Can you paste what you have for the Target path here?

I also wanted to check if you did the last couple of steps here when you set up modding. https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows#Xbox_app

(Cause otherwise I'm not going to be of any help at all since I'm going fully off this install guide.)

[copper wadi]

I think I deleted the shortcut out of frustration, I can renake it

[late nebula]

Check the guide first to make sure you are set up properly.

[tough stump]

Hopefully quick question - when updating mods - should I just delete the old folder and download the updated mod as if it was brand new? This is my first time updating mods

[honest pollen]

do i have to install the smapi on the official web or can i do it on nexus mods

[late nebula]

There was an update not long ago for game pass iirc and the steps need to be redone/rechecked every time... Cause Microsoft

[late nebula]

Either

[late nebula]

That is probably a good practice. Just make sure to save the config.json or you will have to reselect your options.

[honest pollen]

i installed the mods i want and pur them here now what

[tough stump]

What if I never messed with the config.json file? 🤣

[late nebula]

For most mods, it isn't an issue, but some can be quite long like Medieval Buildings.

[late nebula]

You need to extract them and then put them in your mods folder.

[honest pollen]

wheres the mod folder

[late nebula]

In your game's directory

[honest pollen]

and whats that

xd sry

[tough stump]

follow the guide posted above it shows you how to do it because SMAPI should be done first

[copper wadi]

as far as I know I am set up correctly because in my regular mods folder SMAPI works and loads trhe game, it just started skipping STF and not seeing Predictions when I tried to install SVE

[late nebula]

It will have specific instructions for your set up too.

[late nebula]

So the Expanded shortcut works, but it just isn't loading the mods correctly?

[tough stump]

have you made sure to download all of these mods also?

[copper wadi]

the expanded shortcut does not work at all, the regular mods folder works and skips STF and says it's because of Predictions

yes, I did all those

[late nebula]

Okay so those are two separate issues.

[copper wadi]

yes

[late nebula]

I got confused

[copper wadi]

when I could not get SVE to work I switched back to my regular mods folder

[late nebula]

Gotcha

[copper wadi]

let me get you pics of everything it says

[late nebula]

Can you take a picture inside your mods folder where the smapi launcher is?

[copper wadi]

yes

[honest pollen]

ok smapi from nexux doesnt work for me i guess i have to do everything again

[late nebula]

What isn't working exactly?

[tough stump]

https://smapi.io/

[honest pollen]

i follow what the video says i open the install from windows or whatever and it doesnt install

like it doenst even show me the options on install or uninstall

[tough stump]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows

[late nebula]

!gettingstarted I highly suggest using this guide instead of the video. If you get stuck on comprehending a step, you can ask here and we can try to help.

[native dragon]

@honest pollen 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

[copper wadi]

smapi isn't in either mods folder, it's in my main folder like this

[late nebula]

The problem with videos is that they don't cover everything for everyone.

[late nebula]

Right can you scroll down and take a picture of the launcher shortcut?

[tough stump]

I know there are a lot of us trying to help so i'll back off - my two cents though was the step by step instruction from Stardew wiki linked above on installing smapi on windows was super easy to follow and then add to my game client

[copper wadi]

the main one, or the one for expanded? I deleted the one for expanded, it told me to copy the ModdedAPI exe and shortcut that

[late nebula]

In your game directory, like from where you just showed me.

[copper wadi]

ok

[late nebula]

I'm just trying to make sure everything is how I'm expecting it to be before trying to help further.

Otherwise we're just going to walk in circles.

[copper wadi]

"C:\Program Files\ModifiableWindowsApps\Stardew Valley\Stardew Valley.exe" --mods-path "Expanded"

[hoary bane]

I’m going to assume it’s not gonna do anything game breaking when I have it since I just got that one shelf placeable items mod right? I just had to make sure, thank you! ^^

[royal tundra]

nope! That will work just fine 🙂

[copper wadi]

that does not work when I run it in order to play SVE

[late nebula]

Okay

[royal tundra]

as far as I know, the current issues are 1) DGA and JA clothing don't play nice together, and 2) DGA crops/food/recipes don't play nice with many other frameworks. So I'd say use DGA for furniture and misc items, and JA for food and crafting.

[honest pollen]

now what

[late nebula]

@tired brook Do you know if there are any issues in which setting up mod groups on game pass does not work? I've been trying to help @copper wadi and everything is set up correctly as far as I can tell. There aren't specific instructions on the wiki for mod groups on game pass from what I've seen.

[hoary bane]

That’s very helpful to know! Thank you so much

[late nebula]

Did you follow those instructions to set up your launch path?

[late nebula]

Gonna ask the boss. So we may need to wait a little bit to see what wisdom he can give us.

[copper wadi]

@late nebula should I use the moddingAPI for the exe? and tysm

[late nebula]

I am just so not sure I don't have game pass myself so I have no way to try and test things.

[royal tundra]

It can't hurt to try, though

[copper wadi]

can Pathos test on GamePass?

[late nebula]

If the file for the exe is changed though to Stardew Valley.exe like game pass requires, I can't imagine how referring to it as StardewModdingAPI.exe in the shortcut can work.

[late nebula]

I hope so.

[earnest crown]

Heya sorry to interrupt just lookin for some help

[late nebula]

What's up?

[copper wadi]

That's what I was thinking...

[earnest crown]

After updating my mods, when ingame i cant acess the pause menu from esc the screen just kinda zooms in, and after trying to sleep to save the screen goes back

and the console spams up

https://smapi.io/log/b9dcf4aa18164d35ae72b2368962d2af

[late nebula]

So first thing I would do is try to finish doing your updates.

Just to eliminate problems.

[honest pollen]

how do i get to this

[late nebula]

You also need the SAAT mod.

[copper wadi]

@late nebula in the meantime while we wait for Pathos's input, do you have any ideas why SMAPI is skipping STF? Let me screenshot my regular Mods folder

[late nebula]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[hoary bane]

Wdym?

[honest pollen]

did you talk to me_

[honest pollen]

i dunno whete that folder is

[late nebula]

Nope that was for Light6006

[hoary bane]

You can see where the folder is at the path bar thing at top

[late nebula]

Can you screenshot your game directory?

[hoary bane]

Program files, gog, games, Stardew valley

where is that is that %appdata%

You're looking for the mods folder or something?

You wanna change the launch options?

[honest pollen]

yea

[late nebula]

Wait.

Shxdow, do you use Steam or Gog?

[honest pollen]

steam

[hoary bane]

It's right there. Mods folder. Just extract your mods and put the folders inside.

[late nebula]

You don't need to do this.

[hoary bane]

Wait huh

[late nebula]

These instructions are for Gog.

[honest pollen]

oh then how

[late nebula]

Can you launch the game through Steam?

[honest pollen]

yea

[hoary bane]

I thought they were Gog cuz their screenshot

[honest pollen]

do i do that

ima try

[late nebula]

If you have the launch option set up right, it should work.

Let us know if it doesn't.

[copper wadi]

I don't have SMAPI-latest.txt in either folder

[honest pollen]

i think is working

[late nebula]

Can you try to launch the game with SMAPI? like with your normal mod folder

[copper wadi]

ok

[late nebula]

Yay! Now you just need to add mods.

[honest pollen]

F none of the mods i want works

[hoary bane]

Did also download their dependencies?

[late nebula]

!log That's okay. We can figure it out. Can you make a log and share the url with us?

[native dragon]

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

[honest pollen]

i cliked downloud i did do it manually

[copper wadi]

ok now I'm going to go look for it, is it usually in the regular stardew folder or the smapi-internals folder

[honest pollen]

nexus should downloud them

[hoary bane]

Only the mod itself, but not the dependencies

[late nebula]

Nexus doesn't download dependencies when you do it manually.

[hoary bane]

You have to download them yourself

[honest pollen]

then we are going tom be here another hour

[hoary bane]

Depends on how long it takes for you to download them ^^

[late nebula]

Well, you will. I need to go run errands.

(Mondays... )

[copper wadi]

@late nebula there's no log file, I swear, I ran smapi and did a search and nothing

[late nebula]

So in your mod folder, do you have a mod called 'ErrorHandler'?

[copper wadi]

yes

[late nebula]

And you went here to find the log? %localappdata%\Packages\ConcernedApe.StardewValleyPC_0c8vynj4cqe4e\LocalCache\Roaming\StardewValley\ErrorLogs

[copper wadi]

oh no that's not where I went, is that the path for the gamepass version

[late nebula]

yeah

[copper wadi]

ok hang on

[late nebula]

I don't think it switches automatically on the page which can be a little confusing.

[copper wadi]

found it, hang on I will upload to that page

[honest pollen]

ye still doesnt work even i have the mod it needs except smapi cus i already have it

[late nebula]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[copper wadi]

@late nebula https://smapi.io/log/aa356cdebf764276873eefc6c13f55fc

[late nebula]

Everything seems to be loading correctly.

The stuff about STF are just informational.

[copper wadi]

oh thank goodness...

[honest pollen]

were do i find these

[late nebula]

It would only be a concern like if you had a mod that was supposed to be adding stuff through json assets or bfav.

[copper wadi]

@late nebula I have to go for piano lessons, if Pathos gets back to you, can you please DM me what he said

[late nebula]

Will do. Have fun!

[honest pollen]

i cant tipe it can you tipe it so i can copy it sry is that my keyboard is broken

[hoary bane]

You can copy it from there

[late nebula]

%appdata%\StardewValley\ErrorLogs

[honest pollen]

thx

[late nebula]

You can also highlight and right click to copy, and then right click in an empty field to paste though.

You need to put your log in the box on the page.

[honest pollen]

oh sry

[late nebula]

Just like drag it over

[honest pollen]

i forgot

[late nebula]

It's okay. First time for you doing this afaik.

We're just insistent on it because it parses things out for us to make it easy to read and it's always best to teach new modders how to do this so they can learn how to help too as they get more and more into it.

[hoary bane]

You're missing a lot of dependencies

[solemn dirge]

changed my farm type from forest to standard giving me these glitched bushes. is there any way i could remove them?

[hoary bane]

Reset terrain features

Alternatively, destroyable bushes ^^

[solemn dirge]

uh how?

[hoary bane]

That's a mod, you can just look it up in nexus ^^

[late nebula]

You need Shop Tile Framework, Farm Type Manager, SAAT, TehPers Core, Extra Map Layers, Json Assets, and Spacecore

!rtf

[native dragon]

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

[hoary bane]

[solemn dirge]

tyty

[honest pollen]

thx so much ima install those in nexus then try again

[hoary bane]

Jeez the governor bot has a lot of useful shortcuts, I might have to make some sort of spreadsheet for it all

... unless there already is one? 👀

[late nebula]

You can add all the quotes too

https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Useful_Quotes_and_Links

[hoary bane]

What a life savior thank you

[late nebula]

I don't think that has the commands.

[hoary bane]

The quotes are plenty helpful ^^

[late nebula]

I just can't for the life of me ever remember the quote numbers.

[royal tundra]

the commands are all listed at !list

[earnest crown]

Heya ty for the help earlier i got it working (Literally just had to read what's in red) but anyway ty for the help appreciate it

[honest pollen]

i cant find TehPers Core

[royal tundra]

granted, that's just the codes for them, not what they do; you can go play around in the bot channel though

[tired brook]

@copper wadi You can't launch SMAPI directly on the Xbox version, you need to run it through the Xbox app (which is why you need to rename StardewModdingAPI.exe to Stardew Valley.exe). There's no way to set command-line arguments for Xbox app games that I know of, unfortunately.

[late nebula]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3256

Oh sad

Would have to do it with the old renaming folders trick.

[thorny roost]

hi! my friend is having trouble with mods messing up her wardrobe setup & making the wardrobe inaccessible- i can find the errors in the log just fine but im not sure what's causing it

her log is here: https://smapi.io/log/0c7fc4b80d1a48dc966f82f8586ae5c4

im thinking maybe it's the expanded fridge mod but i figured i'd ask to see if anyone had a better idea of whats causing this

[hoary bane]

Maybe have them update their mods first?

[thorny roost]

.. nevermind it Was the fridge mod fml

i installed everything but i have to put them in the mods folder

where could the mod folder be

[hollow crane]

If you go on ur stardew valley game folder it should be in there if that helps?? :))

[honest pollen]

thats the thing i dunno where that is

[hollow crane]

What app do u have sdv on? Like xbox pc app, or steam or anything like that

[honest pollen]

steam

[late nebula]

(If it isn't in your Mod folder, it's not installed.)

[honest pollen]

wdym

[cinder eagle]

Whenever I launch smapi off of steam it says its running, but when I click on the actual application it says not responding. Anyone know how to troubleshoot or look for an error?

It just started doing this

[hollow crane]

So i don't have it on steam but apparently if u right click on the game and then click properties, local files tab and then browse local files. Sorry if that didn't help i just found it on a web

[late nebula]

That is normal if you have expansion mods or anything that uses pytk. Just try to wait it out.

[cinder eagle]

Is waiting 15+ minutes normal? I only have 3 mods in my mods folder

[late nebula]

Nope, that's excessive.

!reset try this first and I would not use xnb mods in the future

[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 :)

[late nebula]

!xnb

[native dragon]

XNB mods often break the game and are not recommended. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods for more info (and a list of Content Patcher alternatives), and https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files to fix problems caused by XNB mods.

[rustic badger]

i need someone to help me with seasonal characters mod

my game freezes when i enter and exit buildings because of the switch between indoor and outdoor winter clothes

i need a way to disable the change between outdoor/indoor clothes in winter

ive done it before by changing the script in content but i forget how

[late nebula]

Which mod are you using?

[rustic badger]

seasonal outfits - slightly cuter aesthetic

[honest pollen]

this is the mods it still doesnt work ima do the link so you can see and help me

https://smapi.io/log/09120a7b8ec14b5a87f073cb40712d4d

Did you not install the dependencies?

[honest pollen]

i did

[late nebula]

Then where are they?

[honest pollen]

o wait

[woven bramble]

Hey am on android SVE. And I think i deleted my save but the old save is still here

When I load the save from menu it doesn't load and stays on black screen

[late nebula]

I don't see a config option for it and I'm not 100% sure how to add one.

[late nebula]

SVE can take a long time to load on Android. How long have you waited?

[late nebula]

None of those turn it off from what I can tell.

[rustic badger]

wb this

[woven bramble]

It usually takes about 30 sec, but I waited a few minutes and it hadn't loaded

Should I wait longer?

[late nebula]

If you want to actually change the mod yourself, you might want to ask for guidance in #making-mods-general. You will need to add an option to the ConfigSchema and add a "When" to every bit of code that changes their outfits like that. (Kinda off-topic for the help channel here.)

[rustic badger]

i got help in this channel before for it lol

[honest pollen]

https://smapi.io/log/fed95c5b61bc4184ac15165b65c92238

K

[late nebula]

(I do know that when I used to use expansions on Android, it would just sometimes really not work like that though and restarting fixed it.)

[hoary bane]

Did you put the dependencies inside the mods folder too?

[late nebula]

You still don't have the dependencies installed.

How did you install them?

[honest pollen]

i did i mean ima send it cus i dunno how it works wait

[hoary bane]

Did you extract it?

[honest pollen]

wdym like every fricking mod

[late nebula]

Yes. You have to extract them all and put them in the Mod folder.

[hoary bane]

It wont work otherwise

@honest pollen
You didn't download the STF and SAAT mod. Pelican Fiber and Range Display aren't compatible anymore, but an unofficial update can be found in https://smapi.io/mods. Just search and download them ^^

[woven bramble]

This is what it stays and if I hit back it shows this menu as if the game is loaded

The game is loading just fine on a new save

[honest pollen]

got a little problem

[hoary bane]

You can download that then

Also why do you have an assets folder inside your mods?

That isn't a mod, you should probably remove them ^^

what stf i search in nexus theres alot

[obtuse flume]

not sure if this is the right chat to be asking in, but i wanna share my mods with a friend for multiplayer. is there any way i can easily compile them to make it easier for them? i've tried dropbox but a lot of the files aren't supported.

[copper wadi]

so I can't run SVE without it being in my regular mods folder?

piano lesson time bbl

[tired brook]

You can put it in a subfolder under Mods, then add a dot in front of the folder name when you want to disable it. SMAPI will ignore mod folders containing a dot entirely.

📁 Mods/
    📁 .StardewValleyExpanded/
        📁 StardewValleyExpanded/
        📁 CustomMusic/
        ...
    📁 SomeOtherMod/

[tired brook]

You can create a zip file of the whole Mods folder, and share that instead. Then your friend just needs to unzip it on their computer.

[woven bramble]

I am genius 400 iq gamer. For the second time I found a fix, so what I did is I copied that file old save file removed the _old from it's name and it loaded

you're a lifesaver. thank you. :)

[hoary bane]

Yep! Just need Json assets and an unofficial update for Pelican Fiber, whatever that is ^^

[honest pollen]

but i just put pelican fiver like come on

[hoary bane]

Also, your smapi installer is inside your mods folder I think. You can remove that

[honest pollen]

is it needed to

[hoary bane]

Did you download it from https://smapi.io/mods

[hoary bane]

Not really, but it'll keep giving you an error if you don't

[honest pollen]

welp i gotta go eat ill finish this later

So I'm trying to transfer the SVE file to my Mods folder

It however stops transferring after a while

Says it can't read from the source file or disk

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

The files that can't seem to be transferred are in the SAAT folder: Crimson Badlands and Distant Train are some of what I saw

[ashen elbow]

thats weird, i was able to do it just fine

[brisk abyss]

I've been trying it multiple times

It still won't transfer

[ashen elbow]

try redownloading it and doing it again

[brisk abyss]

Will do

[late nebula]

Are you running out of hard drive space?

[brisk abyss]

No, I still have a couple 100s of GBs

[late nebula]

Weird

[lost shuttle]

there is o reason for this to be happenening

[ashen elbow]

whats going on?

[lost shuttle]

what can I do help it download? i use my phone hotspot for internet and this is literally the only thing im doing on myphone or comupter

[ashen elbow]

is it not downloading or something?

[lost shuttle]

it keeps stopping and 0 B/s

[late nebula]

Is the version on ModDrop updated? You could try getting it from there.

(If it will work. Seems the internet is taking a nap today.)

[lost shuttle]

oh is it currently not loading the site for you too?

[chilly sky]

is it possible to run a check to see what mods depend on a certain mod, or would i need to go to each mod's individual pages to check?

[late nebula]

Maybe try starting the download on Nexus again. It might have been a fluke.

[late nebula]

!log You can run it and see what red text you get in most cases.

[native dragon]

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

[gaunt gust]

Just take it out and see who complains :P

[bitter fern]

Hey, is it possible to change images of mods with Content Patcher? If yes, how?

[chilly sky]

sad, looks like i still need tmxloader...

[late nebula]

Yes, that's a big part of what Content Patcher is used for. You can take a look at the author documentation here and if you have questions, feel free to head over to #making-mods-general where this would be more on topic. https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/stable/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide.md#readme

[rare quest]

I recommend using the ModDrop application instead of the website.

[lost shuttle]

i dont even understand. expanded took a bit of time for my initial download but nothing like this. and its 130 on monday. there is no traffic rn

[rare quest]

use their app.

[lost shuttle]

using hotspt for this stuff isnt great but ive never had so much trouble

[dawn kiln]

Hi, can someone please help me to

figure out what I need to do? ; ;

[rare quest]

Wait. You're using a hotspot to download mods?

[dawn kiln]

I also have issues with the dialogue expansion which prevents me to talk to Robin when I start a new file

[lost shuttle]

i do not have internet and i dont need it much so i just use hotspot when i do need it or i use my phone data for everything. its a weird way to live but it works

[lost shuttle]

did you unzip the files you downloaded or did you just move them over to mods folder?

[dawn kiln]

I did unzip the files I download and move to the mod folder

[lost shuttle]

they say why they arent working if you read that. some have mutiple copies. no longer compatible. your missig some frameowrk mods

[late nebula]

It looks like you're missing dependencies.

I can't tell for sure since I can't read it x_x

[dawn kiln]

; _____ ; things worked out fine before

until I messed with some new recipes

and then download the updated SVE

I'm trying to redownload eveerything but I have over 300 mods...

[brazen hawk]

Get the unoffial pytk from smapi.io

[lost shuttle]

pytk isnt good on nexus you have to get the unnofficial

[dawn kiln]

thank you guys

[lost shuttle]

just read thru what the red stuff is saying. it is telling you how to fix it

[late nebula]

Yeah just go line by line

Can be hard to separate them out but it's easier to do if you take it one error at a time.

Then run and make a new log after you fix a few things.

(I'm easily overwhelmed by the red text and will copy paste a line to notepad or something so I can see it by itself.)

When I see red, my eyes cross.

[dawn kiln]

thank you so much for the advices ; _____ ;

I'm trying to re-do again

I did copy and paste the error onto words and try to figure out one by one

I guess I'm too greedy by pushing too many mods at the same time...

[late nebula]

I know the feeling

[dawn kiln]

[lost shuttle]

my computer doesnt like how many mods i use but i dont care lol

ijm gonna lose my mind over this

i cant play without it. im not starting another save

[dawn kiln]

I feel you on that...

[lost shuttle]

its a race. when one stops i go back to the other

who will wil? hhow long will I do this? so far updating mods and stuff its been over an hour

[robust bison]

skill issue

[lost shuttle]

what skill is involved in hitting "download"

no need to be rude

[late nebula]

I wonder if there is some place you can go to get a stronger connection.

[copper wadi]

what about all the other mods that you need to run Expanded, where do I put those? Do I put them in the Expanded folder or separate and disable all of them with dots?

[tired brook]

You can have multiple mods under one folder: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Install_mods. All the mods under the dot-named folder will be ignored.

[copper wadi]

@tired brook so I can indeed put/keep them all in the Stardew Expanded folder, from what you're saying and this link tells me

[lost shuttle]

i dont have them in the same folder and they work just fine you just need the unofficial versions of Pytk and..the other one lol

one sec

[tired brook]

Yep.

[lost shuttle]

tmxl

[copper wadi]

I don't have Pytk do I need it to run SVE?

[rare quest]

SVE no longer requires PyTK or TMXL as of 1.14

[copper wadi]

oh ok tysm

[lost shuttle]

are those requried for anything else?

[rare quest]

Depends on your mod list.

SVE can still be used with PyTK and TMXL, it'll just cause super long load times.

[brisk abyss]

So I did this and restarted my computer. The mod finally transferred! Currently opening the game now. Hopefully my computers runs it lol. Thank you!

[ashen elbow]

glad you got it working

[brisk abyss]

It's currently been 4 minutes since I started SMAPI

[ashen elbow]

👀

[robust bison]

not bad

[lost shuttle]

moddrop made it so far i was hopeful

but then it stopped lol

its now getting to be the warmest part of the day so im gonna have to leave to take my dog for a walk before i can even actually start playing lol

[copper wadi]

yikes...what is the path to find the smapi error log, because I just put SVE in my mods folder and it threw tons of errors

[brisk abyss]

10 minutes and it started

[lost shuttle]

fkn kill me

it should tell you whe you start up your game what is effecting it

you seem to have a lot of duplicate mods

remove everything from the "Expanded" folder except for SVE

[copper wadi]

where do I put all of the other mods that go with it

[neat plaza]

you dont

[lost shuttle]

they can just go in the mods folder like everything else

[neat plaza]

you have most of them already

[copper wadi]

which ones do I keep and why is it saying I can update the expanded mod when I just downloaded from Nexus last night?

[neat plaza]

probably beacuse there was an update 12 hours ago

[late nebula]

Are you still trying to do the loadout so you can have an SVE save and a non-SVE save?

since game pass hates mod group paths

[copper wadi]

oh ok i didn't know

no I will just disable most mods with a dot know but idk what I need to delete and keep at this moment because I have duplicates

[late nebula]

Personally, what I would do if I were in your shoes is go back a level to the Mods folder itself.

Instead of using dots. Because otherwise, you would really need to do the exact same thing inside the mods folder.

Or have to remember what mods goes with what every time.

[copper wadi]

idk what you mean go back a level?

[late nebula]

I sent you a DM earlier trying to explain.

Basically that.

So have 'Mods' which is your active loadout. And then like 'Expanded' which is your SVE loadout. Then when you want to switch, rename 'Mods' to 'Testing', and 'Expanded' to 'Mods'.

(It's kind of a pain in the butt either way, but that way keeps them isolated.)

[lost shuttle]

no red text omg 2 hours of fixing mods sucks

[copper wadi]

ah ok found it and understand. brb, nexus mods is not downloading manually for some dumb reason

[late nebula]

Nexus being asleep today.

You might have, say, a version of Content Patcher in both Mod folders, but you wouldn't risk getting the duplicate errors if you accidentally loaded up without disabling a folder. You would just load up and be like, "Hey, this isn't the right setup."

Then just close the game without saving and it's fine.

[dawn kiln]

Hi, it's me again ; ; For some reason my screen still freezes at this scene and I tried to figure out which file needs to be removed but I can't... I do have the log with me as well...
