At the same time, my game lags like crazy

magic merlin
#

does the moddingAPI have to have the .exe?

#

which thingy do i paste?

jaunty ginkgo
#

anyone else having trouble with UI info suite?

#

it doesnt work for me

astral plover
#

the thing you already asked about pasting and i confirmed it being the thing to paste.

magic merlin
#

yeah but, theres multiple StardewModdingAPI thingies

astral plover
#

what do you even mean by that

#

you paste that into the steam stardew valley launch options

#

just that path and the %command%

magic merlin
#

The one with the lil chicken logo?

astral plover
#

just like it is shown on the wiki

#

your stardew game

#

in steam

magic merlin
#

No I mean like. Which stardewmoddingAPI thingy

astral plover
#

what do you mean? in steam, not the explorer

#

you go to your steam library and right click on stardew valley

#

not stardewmoddingapi

#

just the regular stardew valley in your steam library

magic merlin
#

There are lots of stardrewmoddingAPI thingies. I don't know which to copy

astral plover
#

literally the one you asked about

magic merlin
#

I know where to add it once I have copied it

astral plover
magic merlin
#

But there are multiple with similar names

astral plover
#

the one you already pasted into this chat

lime crow
#

Like just paste that text really

astral plover
#

thats what you copied and asked if its the right one, which i confirmed. this is already it

magic merlin
#

I'm so confused

gaunt gust
devout pumiceBOT
astral plover
#

(my path is different, you use the one you pasted here earlyer)

magic merlin
#

I mean like Litterally. Which of these thingies

#

If any

astral plover
#

none of them

magic merlin
#

Dang

astral plover
#

thats the explorer

#

open

#

steam

magic merlin
#

It is open

astral plover
#

go to library

magic merlin
#

Im on the stardew page

#

In the proporties window

astral plover
#

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

#

put this in the launch options window

#

this text

magic merlin
#

It is in there already

astral plover
#

then just start stardew trough steam

magic merlin
#

Awh shoot for real?

#

That was it?

#

Steam can't find the path specified.

astral plover
#

click this and replace the path in the text with your own, but keep the stardewmoddingapi.exe and the stuff to the right of it

outer ibex
#

Hi iHaku

magic merlin
astral plover
magic merlin
#

Mmhmm

astral plover
#

(the stuff in this box will look a bit different since my installation is somewhere else)

#

when it looks like that, copy whatever is in there here

#

i'll change the launch option text for you

astral plover
magic merlin
#

Wdym?

astral plover
#

i mean what i said. click that to open the explorer. its pretty literal, and i dont know how else i could possibly say that.

lime crow
magic merlin
#

Paste it where?

lime crow
#

Here

astral plover
#

here

#

into this chat

#

so i can change the stuff for you that you need to put into steam launch options. since apparently your steam installation is somewhere not default

magic merlin
#

Ohhh

#

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

#

that?

astral plover
#

that is the default path

lime crow
#

hehe

astral plover
#

ok...

#

then you entered something wrong into the steam launch options

lime crow
astral plover
#

here

#

take a screenshot of this part, or paste whats in your launch option right now into this chat

magic merlin
#

uhmm

#

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

#

...

astral plover
#

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

#

remove it and replace it with this

magic merlin
#

oki oki done

astral plover
#

start stardew valley

magic merlin
#

oki oki

astral plover
#

(i'm not even sure how you got that steamlibrary path in the first place)

magic merlin
#

Thank you!

#

It seems to be working!

lime crow
#

Test that the mod works to make sure!

jaunty ginkgo

For future reference, best practice is don't DM me or anyone else unless I say you can (which I didn't). It's politer to ask, and most people don't want DMs so you're likely to offend people if you don't ask. If you send unsolicited DMs too much, you'll also risk getting blocked by the people who use this channel the most to offer help (as that is the official server recommendation on what to do about unsolicited DMs), which will severely decrease your chances of getting help.

hey all, first time modder here. the Separate Greenhouse mod seemed perfect for a multiplayer game of ~6 players i want to do, but it looks like it hasn't been updated since october 2020. i guess we could use the Greenhouse Construction mod, but that's still not ideal since it would take up a lot of space on the farm.
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3965

#

is there another similar mod which can solve this problem?

gaunt gust
#

I doubt it, personally. (Also Greenhouse Construction may not work in multiplayer.) What about an absurdly large greenhouse instead?

nova parrot
#

i guess that would work, but it's still not ideal :/

#

which mod would accomplish that?

lament prairie
#

There's a few different giant greenhouses on Nexus

shy sparrow
#

I know it only has four floors but idk, you could try opening tiled and make another 2?

#

When we used it we just split some of the floors in half

nova parrot
#

alright, i think at least one of these options should work

#

the default greenhouse is 10x12, and ideally i'd have enough room for 8 players to get that much

#

really ideally they'd be clearly partitioned too

astral plover
#

i'd just get the buildable greenhouse mod, just see the land cost as an oppotunity cost

gaunt gust
#

(does that work in multiplayer?)

#

(last I checked the buildable greenhouse mod wasn't updating warps correctly for farmhands)

nova parrot
#

how hard is it to edit the map on my own?

gaunt gust
#

I....wouldn't say too hard,

strong pebble
#

smapi, when being updated, has to be redone through its installer too right?

nova parrot
#

i don't think i'll make editing my own map plan A, but it doesn't look impossible, and that's really cool

#

thanks yall, you just saved me several hours of searching + troubleshooting

shy sparrow
#

yeah xD definitely plan B, but editing is how a bunch of us end up in modmaking

gaunt gust
strong pebble
#

ok thank you

idle carbon
#

i have problem guys, i play multi with my firend ( we both having mods) if she come to my house, her game is going to crash. sometimes we have crash on smapi ( at StardewValley.Game1._update(GameTime gameTime) in stardewvalley\Farmer\Farmer\Game1.cs:line 4154)

#

we cant end the day

#

if we going sometimes to sleep

lament prairie
#

!log from you both

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

lament prairie
#

native dragonBOT
idle carbon
#

thanks, im gonna check this tommorow if we are going to play and have this error

stray violet
#

Would it be possible to set up automate to only work with a specific kind of tile

rain peak
#

the universal favorite items pops up on empty days of the calender or only works for one character

astral plover
#

what do you mean empty days of the calender?

#

i'm using the mod aswell and didnt have any problems. works for all characters, modded too.

rain peak
#

like days without birthdays at all

#

just regular days

#

and then if I hovered over a characters birthday, nothing shows up but it would occasionally show up for others

#

I'll try reinstalling and see if it fixes it self

lusty tartan
#

is there a console command to raise hearts with animals?

nova parrot
#

anyone have an idea of what's going on / how to make it work?

#

or an alternative mod with similar functionality would be nice too

lament prairie
#

Harvz is an active contributor with several mods to his name

#

However, it's unclear whether he's worked on that fork since 1.5.5 relased

#

So it may or may not work

agile iron
#

We need to make a website that downloads modpacks, but in a way that it downloads from each creator separatly, like how curseforge works

nova parrot
#

well, it couldn't hurt to give it a try i guess

agile iron
#

Because I would definitely be making some hella mod packs if that was a thing

gaunt gust
#

(fwiw - you have to pay Nexus if you want that)

lament prairie
#

If you want to make a 3rd competing mod website, the world is your oyster...working on a website sounds like hell to me, personally

gaunt gust
#

(I would not be against an automatic downloader - frankly, if you want, automatically download from my github releases, I think you wouldn't be breaking any TOS there)

#

(but Nexus requires prenium for that)

#

(do note only like a tiny fraction of authors do github releases at all.)

lament prairie
#

I think an automatic downloader is an extremely popular ask, but a lot less feasible from a technical perspective—it either needs to interface with Nexus and/or ModDrop's API or it needs to somehow convince authors to release across a 2nd or 3rd website

#

And website hosting costs must be recouped somehow, which probably drives many of Nexus' choices

#

No idea what ModDrop does for that tbh

#

And Nexus is very protective about their whole mod downloading API thing

#

Idk about ModDrop, because ModDrop is frankly horrible about documentation imo

#

(In terms of things users want to know)

#

And their mod manager is somehow central to most of their operations

agile iron
#

Is there any reason why we cant go to curseforge?

gaunt gust
#

"sounds like work"

agile iron
#

They already have the backend for modpacks, as seen with Minecraft

lament prairie
#

I mean, ModDrop has their flaws too

agile iron
#

Undertsanvke

lament prairie
#

I think some mods are on curseforge

#

But only a bare few

gaunt gust
#

Frankly, if you want an autodownloader, a small number of people, myself included, do github releases

rare quest
#

(curseforge from what I've seen doesn't have an active SDV mods section)

lusty tartan
#

github is supreme

lament prairie
#

For whatever reason I vaguely hear the curseforge people have apparently been soliciting authors to get more mods there?

#

But a lot of history and community is tied up in Nexus at this point, which I assume is another reason people haven't looked into Curseforge

lusty tartan
#

bruh

#

:neur

#

UGH

lament prairie
#

I mean, is it really that sketchy of a website to want more content there?

gaunt gust
#

"Ah, yes, a fourth place to look for bug reports"

#

that sounds like work

lusty tartan
#

😐 i meant the neutral face emoji.. pardon my inept typing skills

gaunt gust
#

I already almost entirely ignore ModDrop lol

agile iron
#

Makes sense, I'm just a big fan of tailored modpacks

lament prairie
#

My understanding is that curseforge is respected in the minecraft community, so I wouldn't suspect the website of anything bad without further proof

nova parrot
#

nexus deserves its reputation but it'd probably be more effort than it's worth to move all the content there

lusty tartan
gaunt gust
lament prairie
#

I don't release on ModDrop because a) work and b) I haven't decided whether I'm okay with their flaws yet

gaunt gust
#

(I literally just use the ModDrop mirroring service and never check comments there)

nova parrot
lament prairie
#

Yeaaaah it's more of a personal upset about specific things moddrop has/hasn't done

gaunt gust
#

If CurseForge wants to mirror off my Github releases I'd honestly be fine with that. Ditto Steam Workshop

lavish marlin
#

my stuff is on github and nexus

#

I don't put it anywhere else because why

nova parrot
#

guess i'll die

lament prairie
#

Get a bigger farm map?

agile iron
#

Because sometimes you need to edit configs to balance mods together, or maybe you want to set a specific progress path and need to edit the mods files to do it

lament prairie
#

Wait that sounds entirely different from modpacks

agile iron
#

Have you heard of Minecraft modpacks

lament prairie
#

Also, have you seen Stardrop?

agile iron
#

Like, expert modpacks

#

That's all of them

lament prairie
#

Editing mod files is outside of the scope of mod managers generally

#

Or modpacks

agile iron
#

A collection of vanilla mods aren't mod packs, that's a collection

lament prairie
#

I know absolutely nothing about minecraft other than that it's like Solidworks but worse

gaunt gust
#

I have Minecraft on my phone and I'm terrible at it

agile iron
#

Q modpack customizes the mods to work well together

lament prairie
#

Yeah, most mod authors would get upset if you edited and redistributed their mods though

nova parrot
#

i've been wanting to try this new map from SVE, but now at another glance, maybe it's big enough for everyone

lament prairie
#

Stardrop allows you to set configs by mod I thiiiink

gaunt gust
#

(see terms of license)

gaunt gust
lament prairie
#

yeah, you're on the permissive side though 😛

gaunt gust
#

(I'm also rapidly retiring, which colors my views here.,)

lavish marlin
gaunt gust
agile iron
#

I've always wanted wondered why actual modpacks weren't a thing outside of Minecraft

lament prairie
#

Mods that don't work together in SDV tend to be like, mods that do the same thing

gaunt gust
#

(also honestly modpacks on ModDrop are basically all just "SVE and dependencies" lol)

lament prairie
#

You can't really have two mods that change how the parsnip looks because you can only see one parsnip image

#

(There are vaguely exceptions to this statement, just trying to illustrate the concept)

nova parrot
agile iron
#

Well take, for example, I wanted to play sve and ridge side together, but I didn't want to have to do both at the very start

#

A modpack author might change around some configs, add some new stuff, and gate the ridge side content behind a certian event or a certain year or something

shy sparrow
#

Do different saves? There's enough content for that.

gaunt gust
#

Install RSV later?

#

it's not hard to do

shy sparrow
#

Oh yes or that

gaunt gust
#

At that point you're talking closer to a fork

#

I don't recall what Raf will think of that

agile iron
#

I mean, this sorta thing was extremely common in Minecraft modding, without having to make forks

#

I guess that's not really a good example because it seems to be the only one that does it and not many people here play it

gaunt gust
#

fwiw, the type of thing you want, especially for projects like RSV which is like one person's artistic vision, doesn't happen as often.

shy sparrow
#

Nexus is starting a collections type thing. Also we have rec lists. And if you mod multiplayer you usually end up building a mod pack together but I've also just been given whole packs to download
(as just, stardew versions of modpacks)

gaunt gust
#

(also, personal edits are a thing, and pretty easy to do)

#

but like, check licenses if you want to redistribute

shy sparrow
#

Personally the way RSV is designed slides very seamlessly into a year 2 save

hey guys! good night to everyone ❤️ Yesterday I tried downloading CF for some furniture I really wanted, but people warned me that the mod is working but sometimes it crashes, and when it crashes, I would need to spawn another furniture to fix it.

Hey, so when i boot SMAPI, it shows that some mods im using have updates available, but when i check nexus, there's no updated version. are the mods available elsewhere so i can update?

native dragonBOT
#

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

lament prairie
#

If you're very very sure there's no update on nexus they probably screwed up the update keys, which is quite easy to do and Nexus makes it hard to fix

#

(As an author)

(Since they will sometimes not update the version number right if you only change that in the manifest)

bitter horizon

Hey guys! So I have the fresh meat mod and I can create animal DNA. I am trying to make that DNA into meat but it says I also need genetically engineered yeast. I know it's a mod as well, but no where on the mod page, or in the description of any items, does it say how to make this "genetically engineered yeast." Does anyone else here possibly have this mod as well, and can tell me how to make this genetically modified yeast?

how come smapi wont do the console load and will only load regular stardew?

#

i did properties then i put in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley

you also need to add the " " aswell as %command%

what do you mean "where", where you put that path

i was using the command to find the file

if they have spaces

wait so one more question

how do i direct certain mods to certain saves

#

or do i just need to not load smapi if i want to play my vanilla playthrough

you can also just load your vanilla saves with smapi

you have V2 of UI info suite

You need UI Info Suite 2

It's an unfortunate coincidence

hello if you have spare time I would like some help regarding my crashing problem

#

I installed pjpa redux and it started having trouble so I removed everything

#

its still crashing sadly

lament prairie
#

Get the ja versions

#

Not DGA versions

#

PPJA DGA is broken

nova owl
#

I removed everything and its still crashing

#

will installing the JA versions fix it?

lament prairie
#

Hmm, did you leave behind an item?

#

Perhaps a big craftable?

#

(A machine of some kind?)

nova owl
#

oh I forgot to remove one

lament prairie
#

Try reinstalling and then remove it

nova owl
#

thank you so much

lament prairie
#

You have to delete all modded items if you want to remove the mods adding them

#

@fast river Apologies for the ping—is the game crashing when DGA content packs are removed and a BigCraftable remains in the game expected DGA behavior? I know that furniture, for example, doesn't crash the game when their content packs are removed, and neither do crops. (I may have tested those by accident...)

#

If you'd prefer this as a Github issue, just say the word and I'll put it up there, and if this isn't a top priority (or if you'd prefer I don't report it) for reasons mentioned before, no worries.

nova owl
#

I removed Dynamic game asset and it fixed the crashing so far is this mod unstable or I just messed it up?

lament prairie
#

I would say you messed it up, but don't be too hard on yourself as it's easy to forget a thing

#

It's inherently very very difficult to add new items to the game, and DGA does that just fine. It's relatively new so it hasn't been stress-tested as much as JA, but it's far more powerful than JA.

#

It is in fact universally true that if you remove a mod that adds new items, you need to make sure all of those items are no longer present in your game

#

JA can crash the game if you forget this

#

So if you remove a crop mod but you had a bunch of carrots from the mod sitting in a chest, bad things happen. If you had a fishpond of modded fish and you remove the fish mod, really bad things happen.

today i decided to reinstall SVE and when i opened the game, i couldn’t find my save file on the loading menu at all.. i already have other mods such as ridgeside village and more and they worked just fine so i don’t know what’s happening? 😭 i’ve already tried some troubleshooting thing from the wiki which required me to edit the normal save file and the _old one which i did but it’s still not showing up. ive also deleted all mods, got them back again without sve, but nothing made my save file show up. but i’ve noticed something weird today, a steam pop up that mentions the sync cloud thing and it doesn’t show any errors but it never popped up before until now and i checked steam and it’s been on this entire time i guess😭 i don’t really know what to do at this point honestly so any help would be appreciated

#

it’s kinda confusing as well because i have an old save file that i no longer play on which is called “my ass is sweet Farm” and the current save file that is corrupted (i guess) is named “my ass Farm” 😞 so it shows up in the Saves folder as just “my ass” which is right but then there’s no folder for the sweet ass one?? (sorry for the swear i just find it funny when characters talk about my farm 😭)

#

yeah i saw that

#

its confusing to look at

dire fractal
#

Are you having problems following the guide?

sacred sigil
#

yeah

dire fractal
#

What platform are you on?

sacred sigil
#

windows

#

i dont know how to get to the mod folder

dire fractal
#

I think you can find them through Steam, by browsing local files

sacred sigil
#

wheres local files i only see the program files on mine

sacred sigil
#

so im in the files but theres no mod folder

dire fractal
#

Have you installed Smapi?

sacred sigil
#

ya

#

it keeps telling me to unzip it

dire fractal
#

!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.

dire fractal
#

You need to unzip smapi in order to install it correctly

sacred sigil
#

where do i extract it to

dire fractal
#

Wherever you like

native grail
#

You're right, I probably have to remove it. Which sucks, because I love it

sacred sigil
#

i extracted it and nothing happened

dire fractal
#

Yeah. Sorry I can't really help with that. I removed LoC too, but iirc a updated version is in the works

#

When you extract it, it should give you a folder with different things like run on windows etc

native grail
sacred sigil
#

is there supposed to be a folder with it

wraith verge
#

@dusky canyon nevermind, my game started glitching again today -_- And i couldn't find your other tip on the nvidia config menu 😦

lime crow
sacred sigil
#

no like i extract it then when i go to the area i extracted it to its not there

#

i dont know why its not there i did it twice

lime crow
#

Well then something is wrong with the extraction

#

What program are u using?

sacred sigil
#

what do you mean

#

i use windows if thats it

#

also i just highlighted all the folders and somehow the extraction doesnt work

lime crow
#

Are you really extracting a zip file?

sacred sigil
#

yeah

lime crow
#

Well then I dont undertand hehe

#

Could you provide a screenshor or more info on what you are doing?

sacred sigil
#

i just highlight it then extract it to a folder then i go to that folder

#

and its gone

dire fractal
#

You don't need to highlight files to extract them, you just left/right click and click on extract here

lime crow
#

Hum where did you download SMAPI from?

sacred sigil
#

i tried that right now

sacred sigil
dire fractal
#

Are you extracting in your download folder?

sacred sigil
#

im extracting in the zip folder

dire fractal
#

Your in too deep

sacred sigil
#

and now when i extract it it says the file already exists

dire fractal
#

Go one layer uo

#

*up

#

In your downloads folder or wherever else you download files to

sacred sigil
#

do i send it to a compressed folder

dire fractal
#

No, you just need to unpack the zipped smapi file in your download folder

sacred sigil
#

im in my download folder and there doesnt seem like theres an option to unpack

dire fractal
#

Can you post a Screenshot?

sacred sigil
#

when i right click it only says stuff like send to, give access to, and open with

#

and thats when im in the download folder

sacred sigil
#

i did

dire fractal
#

A screenshot would really be helpful so we know were exactly you're struggling

lime crow
#

Well then if you have any of those programs when you right click it should show an option for unzipping it

sacred sigil
#

do i need to install those

#

because i cant unzip it

lime crow
#

Yes, exactly 7zip should do if you are on Windows

sacred sigil
#

i can now extract it and compress it

#

do i do that

lime crow
#

Extract it

sacred sigil
#

i extracted it

#

yay it worked finally

lime crow
#

Alright SDVpufferparty

sacred sigil
#

so what do i do now that's its installed?

#

can i start adding mods

lime crow
#

Yes, just move them into the Mods folder

sacred sigil
#

thanks 😄

#

do i have to extract the folders then put them in like the installer?

#

just wanna make sure

dire fractal
#

Yeah, but you don't need the installer In your Mod Folder

sacred sigil
#

alright

#

alright so i put the mod in the mod folder but it says to run the game using smapi but i only have the installer. How would i play the game using it then

do i put the installer in the mod folder

graphical artifacts are a sign of either:

  1. something going really wrong with the driver, you can try updating it
  2. the GPU going too hot (it shouldn't, it should throttle first, so also something wrong with the driver most likely, also maybe clean up your PC)
  3. the GPU is literally dying

# deep yarrow the furniture still looks like the vanilla furniture :(

Can you try patch export TileSheets/furniture and then go into the game folder and find your patch exports folder, and then take a screenshot of the tilesheet you see there and post it here? Someone (probably not me cause I have to go) should then be able to check it to see if there are differences from vanilla.

I use Country Furniture, Industrial Furniture, Industrial Kitchen, and Warm Cozy Fireplaces (all CP versions) straight out of the box and it works fine. However, you don't seem to have Industrial Furniture, only the Kitchen, and Country Furniture doesn't replace all furniture. If you use a mod like CJB Item Spawner, you can see what's actually changing by downloading one at a time. (Or just comparing the mod files to the game files, but that involves unpacking the files which may be a new thing to learn if you aren't already familiar with modding a bit.)

why doesn't yri's project yellog's modular recolor option work for me? like i keep trying to adjust the config and i keep restarting the game, and im doing a hard test with NOTHING but the recolor, the modular option, and content patcher/smapi installed. but the colors just... dont change?

#

should i maybe try using an old version of the mod and see if anything is different for me??

late nebula
#

Do you have any other recolors installed?

like... thats it. and the config for changing the dirt, grass, sand, and rocks just does not work for me

I was thinking that the top file included them all, but that is not the case.

Also, not a dumb question since all the files and installation options for this mod are kinda confusing. 😛

from within a save

lusty tartan
#

okay

gaunt gust
#

what are you expecting that you aren't seeing?

lusty tartan
#

the colors of the dirt, grass, sand, and rocks are all supposed to change seasonally. but it seems like it just doesnt register the content pack for the modular recolor options, so it's just recolored to how it looks with the base mod

#

basically the content pack for the base mod just isnt working

#

honestly I'm not well versed enough with that mod to help you more

#

Does the Town Overhaul include Recolours of the area?

01 02 03 and 04

#

Did you change that? Since it says RT

lusty tartan
#

nope, they're folders within folders

dire fractal
#

So you still have the numbers?

lusty tartan
#

yep

dire fractal
#

It's been a while since I used project Yellog, but in my mod folder it was always listed as 001Yri's Project Yellog - Modular Something, 002... But never with an RT, unless Yri changed it recently?

lusty tartan
#

i personally change them so that they may be organized within my folder. i usually play with over 400 mods so i have them labeled

dire fractal
#

Maybe that's your problem why it doesn't work

lusty tartan
#

i deleted the numbers in the original file and now it seems fine so i guess it must have been SOMETHING to do with the numbers, but i dont really get it xD

dire fractal
#

I guess the Mods have to load in a particular order, in order to affect which mod gets loaded first

lusty tartan
#

that must be

dire fractal
#

I'm sure there is a more elegant way to do this, but Yri's strength lies more in her beautiful artwork then the coding.

I'm sure there will be a better working version in the future.

Maybe you could ask in #making-mods-general if someone could help you with coding it, so you can keep your Mod Folder organized as it is

hi! so my bf is having some trouble with the game stuttering when he loads up smapi and no guides seems to help. i was wondering if there was anyone that could help?

#

smapi runs fine on my laptop and I don’t have the same issue. he even tried uninstalling every mod and trying just smapi.

I was trying to revert back to my last save because the Happy Birthday mod crashed and caused severe lag. I cant load my last save because it just goes back to the title screen. I did not remove any mods other than the Happy Birthday mod because it keeps crashing. Why cant I load my last save? https://smapi.io/log/8b93f6d7308b422fb26f298103778aca

Are you reverting to a save from the "save backup" folder or...?

covert steppe
#

yes

Hey there
i was wondering if someone could help me with some error messages i get while playing in multiplayer
at some point i cant enter the barn anymore and when i want to finish the day, the game just stays on the blackscreen

https://smapi.io/log/70599e330f8e4d3b9d710eaad045d5ce
Here the smapi log

covert steppe
#

well now I dont think so because I went to the saves folder and opened it and removed _old from my last save and added _old to the current save, so that I could load my last save that had 0 problems

shy sparrow
#

Mysteries, well I'm glad it works now?

shy sparrow
#

Normally what I would do in your situation is delete the old save and unzip the save backup into your save folder.
Since you've tried this (?) and the game isn't loading I'd try adding the birthday mod back in and see if it loads, since presumably your save still worked before

#

If it loads when you do that then it just means you can't remove the birthday mod without breaking your game

gaunt gust
#

that looks like an xml error to me - usually fixed by going back to backup saves until one works.

misty thicket
#

anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

shy sparrow
#

Your log seems to suggest there's something up with pytk though, Which I think is unrelated to the birthday mod

misty thicket
#

the larger boxes are the proper expanded range but obviously they aren't meshing with my zoom level

#

same thing with Scarecrows

gaunt gust
#

(or a mod that doesn't handle multiplayer correctly, but I don't see any of the usual suspects)

gaunt gust
#

okay, then one of your mods doesn't handle multiplayer correctly. You may need to remove mods until you find the culprit

vast cradle
#

Oh holy pepeF

#

Its not possible to find out which mod it is?

gaunt gust
#

(somehow I scrolled past that)

vast cradle
#

So just delete that and it SHOULD be fine?

gaunt gust
#

I'm not sure - did you build any new greenhouses?

vast cradle
#

Also, does this cause the trouble with not being able to enter the barn?

gaunt gust
#

you might need to remove those as well

vast cradle
#

No i didnt

gaunt gust
#

(yeah, it doesn't update warp points for farmhands correctly)

covert steppe
#

I added happy birthday back into the game, but save still wont load. I cant tell if the log changed but smapi said this when I tried to load it again

exotic wren
#

guys my smapi always crah and i need to delete the data, what do i do?

late nebula
#

!log

native dragonBOT
#

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

lime crow
exotic wren
#

oh ok wait

late nebula
#

I'm not really sure what happened to your gane, but it looks like you're using xnb mods and you probably need to reset your game files

#

!xnb

native dragonBOT
lime crow
#

Yeah the line that breaks is Game1.background.draw(Game1.spriteBatch);, that seems so wrong SDVpufferdead

#

You might have your game corrupted somehow

late nebula
#

(Natural Color Reshade also shouldn't be in the Mods folder. I don't know if having it there will break stuff, but it might be worth reading the installation instructions on the mod's page to get it set up correctly.)

exotic wren
#

so how do i know what are the xnb mods like, before i instaling

native dragonBOT
late nebula
#

It will say something like, "put these in your Content folder and let them overwrite"

#

As opposed to putting stuff in your Mod folder

exotic wren
#

ok,ty!

late nebula
#

Np! Let us know if resetting works

#

If not, we can try to dig a lil deeper

fresh steppe
#

so i have a question what do you put for launching options for MacOS?

gaunt gust
#

you don't have to, the installer should have handled that

fresh steppe
#

do i pin the installer to the taskbar

#

?

gaunt gust
#

no. if you launch the game via steam it should automatically be SMAPI now

fresh steppe
#

it didnt work, can it also be the cause of the mods

gaunt gust
#

then you'll need to rename StardewValley to StardewValley.backup and StardewModdingAPI to StardewValley yourself, maybe

#

the readme of the installer should have instructions

fossil dirge
#

im trying to recover one of my old save files because its in my stardew valley like file, but im wondering if i used mods that have been in that save file that i dont have now, and im trying to see if i download those mods and put them back that my save files will appear but im not sure

late nebula
#

So installing a mod will not make a save reappear.

fossil dirge
#

no its like a mod that i used in that save

#

and im wondering if the reason why the save isnt showing in the game is because i dont have the mod in

late nebula
#

Not likely

#

Unless I'm misunderstanding something

fossil dirge
#

then how can i retrieve my save files back

#

ive asked other people but

#

verifying files n stuff doesnt work

gaunt gust
#

!saves <- see if the backups have it

native dragonBOT
late nebula
#

Smapi keeps backups once a day

#

Probably you're best bet

fossil dirge
#

this save file was in like

#

4/?/2021

#

LOL

late nebula
#

I hope you can get it recovered and all. There may be a few hurdles, depending on what mods you were using since the big 64-bit update in December.

fossil dirge
#

i have no idea what the update was about LOL

#

maybe thats the reason why but

#

i spent like 400+ hours on that

late nebula
#

The game went from xna to monogame which required a lot of mod updates. Some like SVE ended up changing their required mods too.

fossil dirge
#

oh

#

no idea what that means but okay!!

#

ok heres the thing though

#

my stardew valley file looks like this

#

and i dont know if its supposed to look like that

#

the parallax ones are the ones im trying to get

late nebula
#

Yep that's all the new stuff it needs

#

I mean the api stuff and the bazillion files below

fossil dirge
#

LOL

late nebula
#

Saves go in %appdata%

fossil dirge
#

let me check then

#

umm

#

are those two files supposed to be there

late nebula
#

The link atravita sent should tell you exactly where

fossil dirge
#

or do i put them somewhere else because

#

my most recent saves arent where the parallaxes are

gaunt gust
#

I'm not sure what the word "parallax" means in this situation

fossil dirge
#

yep theyre here

late nebula
#

Saves aren't supposed to be in the game folder.

fossil dirge
#

oh its the names

#

oh.

fossil dirge
gaunt gust
#

no....?

fossil dirge
#

um

gaunt gust
#

save-backups is where the automated smapi backup saves go

fossil dirge
#

i think theres two of the same saves

#

if that makes sense but i have no idea if i should get rid of the ones that are in the game folder

late nebula
#

Run your game and see if the saves are there

fossil dirge
#

theyre not

#

only the sakuranbo thing at the 308 parallax

late nebula
#

Okay so did you find your saves folder using the link atravita sent?

fossil dirge
#

i stick with one name so there's multiple parallaxes LOL

fossil dirge
late nebula
#

Hum. I have no idea why they aren't showing up then.

fossil dirge
#

maybe them being here is a problem?

gaunt gust
#

it looks to me like you may have edited the saves at some point to duplicate them

fossil dirge
#

probably yeah

gaunt gust
#

and maybe didn't do that correctly.

fossil dirge
#

i was doing eveyrthing to get them back

#

LOL

fossil dirge
late nebula
#

!saves The Troubleshooting section here says to try and load the saves in vanilla and play a day which will clean up any errors from missing mods.

native dragonBOT
gaunt gust
#

I suspect you changed the world seed in one location but not all locations, or changed the farm name, but not in every location

fossil dirge
#

do i have the permission to delete the files in the game files

late nebula
#

I would maybe make a backup on the desktop or something in case that borks it.

fossil dirge
late nebula
#

I mean, who are we to give permission for anything

gaunt gust
#

I'm not sure why the tfiles in the game files matter at all, but I'm loathe to delete anything without understanding

fossil dirge
#

LOL IDK advisers?!?

late nebula
#

I don't trust Steam and would make my own.

fossil dirge
late nebula
#

Steam likes to regularly duplicate all my saves which drives me insane.

#

Copy the folder and paste it to the desktop

#

Or Documents or where ever

fossil dirge
#

okay but to play the game vanilla, do i get rid of smapi n stuff?

late nebula
#

You can launch vanilla from inside the game folder

gaunt gust
#

!modgroups

native dragonBOT
late nebula
#

It's the Stardew Valley with the chicken icon

gaunt gust
#

or using StarDrop. Realistically we should probalby link StarDrop on the wiki, eh?
