it didn't crash
Although that does tell you it's an NPC entering a door at 5:30pm
the mobs just froze, but i could leave the area
Oh okay—NPC crashing likely caused the slowdown anyways
The FTM stuff happened on save load anyways from the timestamps
So even less likely to be FTM
I agree with atravita, install warp snitch and see what it says
I'm not sure how I would recreate it
ill install warp snitch and try to recreate it - from then on if it happens again i should just post the log again?
Yup, good plan

also im not hijacking the investigation
, its caused by dtz afaik 😔
Hello I need some help with mods
https://smapi.io/log/250ca6983fc843729ba27c2e95a8a7c3 Could not recreate the freezing, still trying but I did get some new errors(?) @placid orbit @lament prairie
whats the problem?
Hum, well that particular error is an ftm error, and I think it's fixed in the version for 1.6
ONG I’m trying so hard to use the dcburger portrait mod but it won’t work
And the romance rasmodius mod
Anyone having issues with disappearing NPCs? It's both Vanilla and Custom ones that are disappearing. I spoke to Kenneth and then as soon as the dialogue closed, he vanished. https://smapi.io/log/06dc299714254170adb96bef13a0d4e8
It should happen immediately, one point for every X trash, where X is a number you set in the configs
It's only the one mod that's not working and I have sdv through Xbox game pass
i figured out the portrait mod
Hi! Can you right-click StardewModdingAPI.exe, click the Compatibility tab, and post a screenshot?
Here ya go ^-^
Hey Patho sorry for the ping but do you know what that error could mean? A user reported this and It said access to my config file was denied but i have no idea why ^^" (They use Xbox gamepass if that helps)
Can you...
- exit Steam fully (the tray icon too);
- launch
StardewModdingAPI.exein the game folder; - let it run for a few minutes;
- upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log/ and post the link here?
Yeah I can, gmas
Looks like they probably missed a couple steps in the Xbox app install guide which unlock permissions in the game folder: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows#Xbox_app.
thanks! pfew, so not my fault that's a relieve xD
@meager thicket In that case could you check the installguide if you did all the steps? and report back to me if it works?^^
I will when I get home 👍
Looks like everything initialized correctly, and as far as SMAPI knows the game is running. At that point the game was still showing 'not responding'? If you type help into the SMAPI console window at that point, does it print info?
I have smapi and tried to get a few mods but it like didn't work
The game itself is not responding, yeah. I tried typing help and it's not doing anything
Hmm, so the game's update loop is stalled.
What does that mean? 😅
Basically the internal game logic is frozen or looping somewhere.
Oh shit, thats. Not good or fun
Can you restart Windows into safe mode, launch the game, and see if the same thing happens?
Try one of these instructions: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-your-pc-in-safe-mode-in-windows-92c27cff-db89-8644-1ce4-b3e5e56fe234.
Did you want me to open Smapi or Stardew?
SMAPI (I assume launching the game without SMAPI works?).
It does, yeah
So I can't seem to find a way to get online (Im on my phone atm), but it showed up with quite a bit of red. Here it is https://smapi.io/log/58afcdef0d1b40689677ad5d94612ee5
Alright, so MonoGame won't run correctly in safe mode. Can you restart Windows into regular (unsafe?) mode, try disabling/pausing all security software, and see if it still happens?
Yeah
Ive disabled Windows Security and it still doesn't seem to work, Im so sorry my computer is being complicated
Next try exiting every running app you can (including in the tray icons), and see if it makes a difference?
Stil nothing :c
You mentioned it was working yesterday; did you change anything since then? (Installed any other games/software, updated SMAPI, etc?)
I updated Smapi and downloaded three new mods (the new ones that are required for expanded). The thing is, my friend did the same thing and it's perfectly fine on their end. Ive deleted and reinstalled both Smapi and Stardew a few times in the process of trying to get it to work myself. I also deleted all previous versions and files of Smapi I had beforehand and reinstalled it from there, but it wasn't working before I did that (lmk if replying to the messages is annoying)
Additionally, I moved my mods folder into documents so it doesn't affect the launching screen, but I doubt that would change anything
that....might actually
I don't think it'd matter; SMAPI won't see the mods there, and it should load fine without them.
Which version of SMAPI did you have before? Does it work if you reinstall the version you had before? (You can find older versions on https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2400/?tab=files.)
Windows threw a fit when I was trying to stick 1.6 in my Documents; I had to whitelist a bunch of stuff in Defender; I don't remember exactly what I had to do...
oh my bad I completely misread
(I thought you moved the entire game to your Documents directory for some reason)
I believe it would've been 3.9.5 (but if memory serves me right, I think there was an 11 somewhere? The timeline lines up with the 3.9.5), Ill try reinstalling that one and deleting the current Smapi. If it does work, would I have to use older versions of the mods I was using beforehand? ]
It's only a test to see if it works, ideally you won't be keeping the old version.
It didn't open the game at all this time (last time it opened it, but said it wasn't responding). This time it also wouldn't let me put it in the logs website because it said it couldn't find the error logs
Oh, that's normal since versions before SMAPI 3.13.0 aren't compatible with Stardew Valley 1.5.5+. So unless you updated the game too recently, you probably had 3.13.0 or later.
Gotcha gotcha, I'll try 3.13.1 ^-^
So now it's not even letting me download 1.13.1 😅
So you didn't have 3.13.1, since you don't have .NET 5 installed. Try 3.13.2, which removed the need for a separate .NET install.
Alrighry!
Omg pathos

Aleighry now its immedistly crashing and not showing me the setup process
Well, I guess the only version left to try is 3.13.3. If that doesn't work either, you can switch back to the latest 3.13.4.
This one is immeidatly crashing as well. Should I do a full recovery reset? Or try 13.4 again?
You could try 3.13.4 again just to see, but not sure what other simple things you can try. A full Windows reset is the nuclear option which would probably work, though it's overkill for most cases.
I just tried 3.13.4 and this time its crashing as well and refusing to open, unlike last time. By a windows reset do you mean a factory rest or uninstalling and reinstalling Windows?
A reset will delete all the installed software and some other files on your computer, and perform a clean reinstall of Windows. It's a bit drastic, but it'll fix most local issues that aren't due the actual hardware since you're starting from a fresh slate. There's instructions here if you want to try it: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-refresh-reset-or-restore-your-pc-51391d9a-eb0a-84a7-69e4-c2c1fbceb8dd.
Gotcha gotcha ^-^ I'm going to try a refresh first, since that's a bit less drastic (although I don't think it's going to change much). Sadly I don't think a full reset is possible, since my laptop has a lot of impirtant files for school and clubs. If a refresher doesn't work, do you have any other ideas or it a lost cause at this point?
If it was working yesterday, then it should just be a matter of tracking down what changed since then. I'm not sure what else you can try though.
Alrighty :D If this doesn't work, I'll try to go back and revert what I did yesterday, as well as double check all my files and compare them to my friends. I'll tell you if I got ot fixed and how, since you spent so long trying to help me. Thank you so much, you're incredibly patient and kind ❤️
Welcome!
Hey my gf is struggling to run stardew with smapi.
Game works and runs vanilla, when she launches with SMAPI it just instantly crashes, no mods installed yet (except the ones that came with SMAPI.)
Any ideas?
Running latest version and latest SMAPI, I tried reinstalling it and redownloading it a few times.
She doesn't have any antivirus unless Windows Defender is an issue.

on it
1 is stuff ive tried so im gonna go over to 2 and if no luck 3
interesting
2 fixed it
Thank you so much :)
Lol any idea why ? I really didn't expect 2 to fix it
Nevermind, figured out what Mod was giving me issues.
These errors seem to be Walk of Life being sad about dust sprites breaking stones maybe??? Unclear tbh
(the errors are due to the game not being able to find a player to award experience for when dust sprites break stones outside the mines)
holaaaaaaaaa
Theoretical question would I be able to just replace all of the game assets with other assets and then run the game I don't see what would stop me
alguien ha la español? :"v
btw don't just add mods you actually should go on game for each mod before you make this mistake
mobile
ok so when sometimes getting a new mod there will be photos of the mod assets
is it ok deleting the assets in photos?
i already had it enabled(edit never mined got it to work)
I've never, ever tried to mod before, but since gaining access to Naver I've noticed a lot of things are uploaded as pngs or xnbs. So, my question is, even though this hasn't been updated since 2021, would this DIYCP thing still work?
https://www.moddrop.com/stardew-valley/mods/734866-diycp-suite
probably? CP has support for older CP formats
i think i broke my stardew?
so like, was working fine earlier today, installed a few new mods that say they're running fine, but now whenever i try to open the dresser, the games shitsout a lil and this is what the error logs look like :
it will not let me pick up/interact with that specific dresser now. i can place and use other ones though
!log
@soft brook Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
Hi, can you submit your log? It'd be helpful to solving the issue
(generally, reading picture text is slower and harder. A log gives more info about the problem at hand!)
just tried local co-op for the first time. my computer could just barely handle it, a lot of lag. we played 2-3 days in game then when the other player left the game, it crashed. I don't think we will do local co op again until i get apple tv compatible controllers and do steam link through the apple tv... my big TV is too old for the steam link app. I had mirrored to the TV so we could see better, then we decided to see if the performance improved if we disconnected. it did improve. I'm wondering if the crash was due to my computer or mods?
it's probably most definitely user error, i really dont know anything about this mod stuff, this is the first problem i've ever run into
That's okay, it happens to everyone
Reset Terrain Features 1.0.2 needs to be updated to work + you need to install Stardew Hack for bigger backpack to work. There's links in https://smapi.io/mods
Also, there's two copies of generic mod config, could you delete one of them?
soooo funny story o-o if i delete either of the generic mod config thingys, the mods that need it will say its not there anymore even though theres still a copy
i can un install both ig i just get a new copy again
Yeah, that'd be best
Also id suggest updating SMAPI and quest framework
Hi! Can someone help me with a little problem? My journal won't work when I click F or just clicking at them. It came out as blank journal and just gone. Other than that my game play is fine. I do have some mods install but i don't think it's the problem. Those mods are CJB mods, NPC maps location and UI info suite.
If anyone knows how to solve this please tell me.
!log
@west oxide Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
I.. never use that.
thats fair, follow the instructions the bot gave you and it might help us help you
Like that..?
yep
no errors at all huh
should you have quests in your journal?
like something from the billboard for instance?
I believe I do. But whenever I click for it show show up it shows black space then it's just gone from my screen.
I just accept a new quest and it still blank. In another farm it's normal though.
hm, I'm not sure exactly
It's ok! I will try to figure it out somehow..
i assume running vanilla stardew doesn't cause this issue?
Hm, let me try that right now-
I just run it as vanilla game and the Journal is still broken.
ah.. Should I try to re install it? I mean I just did but i can do that again.
I set in my property in steam to link it to my smapi by using mod drop..
SteamLibraryForGame is the part I'm referring to
do you have the same mods? the json assets errors might happen because of a mod mismatch (or maybe a corrupt mod install as well)
!reset ←maybe this could help with the broken game files?
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 :)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley is more common
Oh i see..
D:\SteamLibrary\ is also pretty common
yeah true
YO so, i updated smapi, other mods and all that good junk and i dont have any errors about my mods running or nothing, but then as soon as i click on that dresser the game poops itself again 🤨 https://smapi.io/log/bbbd44c5e5c24a50aeda54befd4d3f64 halp
if its broken in vanilla aswell, and you havent tried to install any xnb files (overwriting files directly, instead of dropping a folder into /mods ) then i suggest verifying your files via steam
Alright I did it.. Still not sure waht it does. I have little to no knowledge in this 😭 should i try to rerun the game?
rerun the vanilla game
Still broken 😭..
you might need to go to #vanilla-tech-support then I think
Thank you for helping tho 😭 Maybe I should just start a new farm.
hm? It's still there.
The issue won't go.
then what's a new farm gonna do for that problem
Well in other farm it doesn't have this problem.
really now. thats strange
It's just this farm I'm playing which is weird..
but yeah i'd also suggest to ask that question in technical support. if the issue is in vanilla aswell, then they will likely be better suited to answer it.
Thank you! If my new farm still have a problem then I will go for that channel 😭
can i use expanded sdv on a farm i already played in?
not recommended
why?
because
SVE changes the vanilla game a great deal and can potentially mess up an existing save.
what if i already have mods in?
Same answer
It changes the town map for one. People can sometimes overcome that with Reset Terrain Features. It adds items which can cause a json shuffle to an in progress game if it already has mods that add items. It changes vanilla NPCs a bit. And then it isn't compatible with a lot of other mods so may end up further breaking a mod setup.
So if you're willing to deal with all those potential problems, go ahead
But it isn't recommended for everyone
I personally don't find it worth the trouble to add to a game I've already got going for all those reasons.
SVE also has events that only happen in Y1, so you'd miss out on content if you're later in the game.
well i just downloaded it
yeah y1 spring one i’m just half a month in
nothing seems to have been broken, everything looks good so far, i’m getting new events w leah now
Does anyone know if there have been some changes in Moddrop's backend lately? Because I can't log into my account any more and I can't find the support info. I'm sure it has to be somewhere.
anyone know any portrait mods?
there are a LOT of portrait mods. You'll have to be more specific
I've been having the same issue. You can try pinging or DMing ModScientist about it.
My issue still hasn't been resolved though and it's been a month or so.
That is literally the only way I've found to communicate with ModDrop about account problems.
I was afraid of that. The "confirm your email" link didn't work for me and I can't find a way to resend that email, and I messaged okay yikes a few months ago
I guess I'll temporarily uninstall DSV then 😦
(Just double checked and my account is fixed now actually. Yay!)
oh wait, I can grab DSV off their github! I'll go do that then :DDD
nevermind me, I'm a stressed out idiot 😛
It's okay. I literally can't play without DSV now so I understand.
I'm assuming there's a reason why its not updated on nexus
They stopped using nexus a long time ago.
odd, I'd never heard of moddrop until i started modding stardew
Moddrop is comparatively new and only hosts mods for a specific set of games.
yeah, it's just odd to me to stop updating on what I assume is a more supported platform
but its their mod so
Moddrop's mod loader is significantly more functional for SDV than Nexus's Vortex loader, and last year Nexus made a change preventing mod authors from deleting their mods. Some people in the community don't feel comfortable with that.
Nexus's advantages are that it's been the main hub since SDV modding started, and it has a much nicer interface for discovering mods and working out what other mods require. Basically, Nexus has way more experience with their UI and it shows.
for the villagers
all portrait mods are for the villagers.
do you want a certain style
just not over the moon
Diverse Stardew Valley on moddrop is my favorite portrait and seasonal outfit mod.
or need some for another mod
i like simple ones
all portrait mods need other mods
yeah no worries
oh thanks
moddrop is like nexus? a website?
Yeah
Yup
alright thanks all
if you're looking at DSV in particular, all the info you need is here https://diversestardewvalley.weebly.com/
thank you again <3
hey for spacecore, i got this line in smapi that it may change save serialiser...
does it work like pytk, where it could but doesn't? mods that rely on them doesn't change save serialiser?
i'm very scared one day the mods stop updating/working and i'll never be able to access my game anymore ahaha
Spacecore and pytk work together but they can cause long loading times when used together. Generally speaking, you won't have any other issues with them, but it's a good idea to be aware of where your saves and backups are if you're going to be modding.
!saves
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
We stopped updating on Nexus in Dec 2020 because our team wasn't happy with Nexus refusing to remove racist mods, hassling users to purchase a premium subscription, allowing stolen mods to be uploaded, and abuse of power by Nexus staff that I won't get into here.
When they changed their ToS in July last year to prevent mod authors from being able to delete their work, with the manner in which they chose to go about that decision showing a marked lack of respect for mod authors by implementing changes without due notice and with later explanation deliberately painting mod authors opposed to the change as selfish and ignorant, we decided that we didn't want to support a company like that even if it meant losing the increased downloads and visibility.
Thanks for explaining! I thought that was the reason but didn't want to speak for you all.
No problem 😄 
yeah that does make sense
yeah this was during a time when i just used steam workshop mods I think
still do for games like rimworld i suppose
Are there any mods people would recommend?
we have entire lists!
There is any mod for having something like junimos chest but that not all of them are connected. For example, I use them on my wine business but I would like to have a separate one for my crab pots or my pale ale.
so linked chests within an area, but not outside of it?
hello what is the version of content patcher that works in 1.4?
That's actually the next mod I plan on making after I publish the current one
So stay tunned hehe (also it should not take much time to make it)
Ohhhh that's great I love you (If I can set to different colours it would be awesome. Feel free to ping me or pm me when you release it. Don't worry I'm at year 1 on expanded, it will take a while until I need it. Have fun with your current release!
Yeah literally the plan is to have each one with different colors hahah A bit like ender chests mod in minecraft if you played it
1.19
My experience with Minecraft is only the freemode back then in the ancient times when you could play it on their website so dunno but I guess you were thinking the same as I was. If I even learn some coding I should try doing mods too. It seems fun
Thank youuu!
im new to mods... im trying to download stuff, i finally have SMAPI and such
i downloaded vortex? what happens when i download mods through vortex, how do i put it into the game....?
honestly? It's easier to not use Vortex
the non-Vortex method: download the mod manually. Unzip it. Drag the fold into your 'Mods' folder. You have now installed the mod!
my bf said he uses it so i thought id be able to LOL
ok ill just do that then! thank you so much
does he use it for Stardew? Vortex is a great mod loader, but it's built for Bethesda games.
no, he just plays more games than me
Stardew is set up a bit differently, so Vortex sometimes doesn't work with more complicated mods
i think i get it
im looking through some mods and so far the expanded mod has caught my eye... is there anything else worth trying
Lifecycle might add something interesting for you?
It allows the villagers to marry each other and have their own children, who are NPCs, like Jas and Vincent
Hello, I’m trying to get stardew valley expanded for my 2021 MacBook Pro. But some of the requirements are saying they are for windows only. And I know there are ways to still open them but I do not know how to change them and get them to work for my laptop. I already have steam and SMAPI but I can’t get things like the content patched and the other things needed before I could actually download the mod itself. Please help!
it also adds more cutscenes, and their are adaptations for SDVE like when Penny grabs Mr. Mullner's mail for him
okay, how were you installing Content Patcher? Because that definitely works on Mac
I just downloaded it and when I went to install and open it, it says it’s not supported

you may need to start from the top
delete everything, including the game, and follow the instructions in the order given
Whenever I install it on this folder, there's an error like this
hey so my modded save won't let me load it anymore,,, It first started when I went to bed and then it crashed and I was like "oh that's annoying,, I have to do that day again now",,, I tried it again and it crashed again so I was like "okay, something's clearly wrong" so I looked at the list of mods that it says directly modify the game files and are likely to cause bugs or errors and I should try removing these first,, The only one that I could feesibly remove was "Bettter Artisan Good Icons" because that isn't a mod SVE is dependant on and removing SVE would kinda defeat most of the point of playing with mods so I foolishly removed that without making a backup of the save first and when I tried to open the save it crashed,, Since then I have tried: Verifying the integrity of the game files, restarting my computer, replacing SaveGameInfo with one from a different save, I have checked the save file and everything seems to be intact, it's just that it won't load it,,, Here's the error log if that helps:
I've also tried adding that mod back in and that hasn't worked either,,,
I was only on day 3 so if I can't fix it wouldn't be too bad restarting, just really annoying,,,
yeah that's an access control issue.
can you start the guide from the to again?
But where should I download it to?
GamePass should, if the Enable Mods option is selected, either place the game in ModifiableWindowsApps or something like XboxGames
can you follow the instructions from the top
tonlght the muslc seems so loud
But there is no XboxGames folder, and when I select the ModifiableWindowsApps it gives me the error
Something about fall 1 in my game and mod set is making the calendar unusable and I have no idea what to do 😭
This now seems like something you should take up with Microsoft
Or create the XboxGames folder, maybe
just pick a directory somewhere
You need to unzip the smapi download
You need to right click on the zipped file and then hit extract
Anyone in here use the Nikolai NPC mod? Something about it is causing my game to make the calendar unusable. I'm thinking it has a trigger with the event that I havent met the requirements of. I know its Nikolai that's causing it bc it was the first one I removed and then my calendar worked.
!unzip
@inland hull 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.
anyone got any ideas?
actually, could creating a new save and them copying the save data into that save work?
I might try that

@tired brook Good news! I got it to work by refreshing windows, so I'm assuming it was a driver mishap during an update, that or maybe I accidently moved/deleted an important file while moving things around ^-^ But its fixed now
The most recent, or most famous
Glad to hear it's fixed now! 😄
SVE?
Yes, this one
I have, but for my language unfortunately 
What's your language?
Portuguese
Eu falo português 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
you're missing a required mod. It's one of DaisyNekos, but I can't tell which
Ohhh the tileshets I don't know how to write sorry
I thought only the CP would be necessary haha
if the game can't find the tilesheets it needs, it will refuse to load the new map and you'll only get the original game map
hey i want to ask if there's any website that has mods for the 1.5.2 version
Thanks for helping me, Morgrim
That's specific. What would you need that for?
Nexus will have many of them, but since that's not a breaking change version of the game they won't be flagged, you'll have to figure out the dates yourself
not like an entire website i mean a website that has mods for all the game's version
or most of them
Er.. Nexus?
Some mods probably still have their old files up, best to just dig imo
alr thank u
why .2
🥚 🔨 ?
you will never find a website that says "if you are on 1.5.2, use these versions of these mods", because there's no use for that. But Nexus will have older versions of many mods, so if you know the date 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 was released, you can try looking for older versions released between those dates
the newest version does not seem to work properly for me so im playing a older version
why not .4
thank u very much
tried other versions... honestly not sure if the problem is from my pc or the files
The most I've heard someone revert back is, probably 1.5.4
Have you tried compat?
!legacy
There are some instances where you will need to use the compatibility version of the game. Please be aware that SMAPI/game mods are not compatible with this version.
On Steam: In your library, right-click Stardew Valley and select Properties... > Betas > then "compatibility" under the dropdown.
On GOG: From the game's page, click the settings icon > Manage installation > Configure... > then "compatibility" under the Beta channels dropdown.
1.5.3 was entirely bug fixes and localisations
No mods though, so that's a bummer
thanks !
thank u all i appreciate that
Out of curiosity, I have an issue with a Mod.
you'll have to give us slightly more information than that 
Oh, sorry!! I forgot the name of the mod, and went to look it up!!
I use Invatorzen's Dialogue Changes to change Shane's Gender. I tweaked the issue where you can finally experience the Six Heart Event properly, but I haven't been able to figure out how to fix The Flower Dance. What typically happens is I'll ask Shane to dance as a female, then Shane will dance with Emily. I'll take up the empty space from where suddenly Sebastian and Abigail no longer dance.
My only theories so far is that the Gender Neutral Mod might be interfering with this, but I wouldn't be sure as to how given I haven't seen any issues with dancing with other bachelors or bachelorettes with this Mod.
Either that, or there might be something in the coding that I'm missing.
Hi everyone, so I started a new game in late january
I just got the infinity blade
I just went and made sure every mod is updated. Trying to figure out why it is invisible
okay, a big issue is that dance partners need correctly matching dancing sprites. The bachelors have to wear blue and dance on their side and the bachelorettes wear white and dance on their side, because they don't have the opposing sprite. So if something also changes Shane's sex flag in the code, the dance will go buggy
okay so that didn't work, nor did starting over from a new save,, I could start the save but as soon as I left and tried to join back in, it crashed
also the Flower Dance has a lot of weirdly hard-coded stuff, so I have no idea which one in particular is causing issues
could you give us your log instead? !log
!log
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
That could be it given that there's another mod I use to give Shane a proper dress sprite.
seems to happen to a bunch of weapons. I looked through every other category in item spawner and only weapons had the problem @royal tundra will do let me do it
Okay guys, I have a big problem regarding smapi. Since today it takes about 30 minutes to load the game with all mods installed. So I tried to get everything out of the mod folder to check if it solves the problem. game still needs about 5-10mins to load. tried reinstalling, still the same issue.
(reinstalled smapi as well without mods)
You may need to try removing a few mods to narrow down what's causing it. I would start with anything that affects weapons or tools.
um,, here's the parsed log,,, I'm at a loss for what to do tbh so any help would be appreciated https://smapi.io/log/c8cdae325b484b5eb494ba88729bfee6
Should I try just running the game once without smapi,,, would that work?
I would try that to see if it's the game itself.
Might be Iridium Scythe?
Not 100% sure this is the best place to ask. Is there a way to "extract" a mod's data so I can ploink it in an excel sheet? I am using Stardew Progress and I want its data somewhere external where I can easily mark / sort things myself.
There's a .dll and a .pdb file, but that doesn't tell me much 😅
!log Big mods tend to cause big load times, though a log wouldn't hurt
@lethal raptor Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
thats the thing. i got rid of literally all mods earlier to see if its causing it. apparently my whole stardew takes a lot longer to start, even without smapi.
it loads fine in vanilla so clearly it's something to do with smapi
Even in vanilla? 
Huh, that's odd.
yeah. i changed mb this morning. kinda happening ever since
should I try reinstalling smapi,,,?
Vanilla shouldn't take more than 1-2 minutes to load. Maybe try completely uninstalling smapi and running it vanilla? Just move your mods folder elsewhere to save you the pain of redownloading it all.
yeah lemme try
and also how do I go about uninstalling it?
Run the smapi installer
i needed 5mins to run w/o smapi
whitelist the directory in your antivirus
🤨
ah, right
3mins now
seems to help a bit
welp
if I try and run it as admin then this happens
and I can't seem to delete it manually because apparently it's open on my computer???
I checked task manager and it isn't though, as far as I can tell
I'll try restarting but this isn't hopeful
okay restarted and it let me uninstall it
okay reinstalled smapi
fingers crossed
OH DAMN
I'M IN
I forgot to put the mods back though 💀
welp
wait nvm
I'm in!!
with mods

Hi everyone :), I downloaded the Seasonal Garden Farmhouse V2 today. Unfortunately I'm missing a complete part of the tiles and I can't replace them with mine. Unfortunately, I also have vanilla edges on the stairs to the basement and on the side of the spouse's room. Can someone please help me how to fix it?
Okay seems like vanilla loads in 3mins while on smapi im back on 10mins+
whitelisted folder
Tried using the help command and it didn't work?
That's unusually long for vanilla. But the game runs fine after that?
yeah seems so. but on smapi im still waiting for it to start
What do you need the help for?
Just wanted to test whatever commands were there since I've never actually used them
That's really weird. I'd ask for a log but you said you even removed mods and it was still the same.
Do you have any mod that replaces tiles by chance?
well yeah. now i have mods running tho. i go send log once its done loading
Well, you practically have no need to use commands on the smapi console haha. But in case you still want to, here are the list of usable commands. Modding:Console_commands
Not sure if it all works for mobile, but eh
However, If the mod uses custom tiles- did you download all requirements? Are you getting any error on the SMAPI console?
If there's no console error but you still have map issues, I'd suggest re-downloading just to be safe
i only have one mod for wallpaper and floor 🙂
Ohh i see
Hm, that's strange then 
Do you have a link to the mod?
Iirc Seasonal Garden Farmhouse needs Rustic Country Town Interior too look as it should as well as Industrial Kitchen (and optional Industrial Furniture)
Otherwise you have a mix between Seasonal Garden Tilesheets and Vanilla which looks a bit odd
Should all be listed on the Mod page (as well as other suggestions)
ok then i'll try it out. because I don't use these two mods at all 🙂 Thanks ❤️
thank you too of course 🙂
Hello, someone who understands naver mods could help me?
dont ask to ask. just ask your question 
guess they didnt need help 😩
I once ask help for this but no one helped but sometimes when getting an mod there assets get in my photos and the mod assets photos are still there should I delete photos from the mod assets or should I leave it there (mobile)
For an example
this is an photo of the mod assets (I scared that it will not work in game if I delete the photos)
You're right that it won't work.
If a mod has images as assets, it probably needs them.
thanks
Sometimes one will have preview images to show different options. But it's better to not delete things unless you know what you're doing.

I'm not sure if this is where I'm supposed to go but I'm having issues installing SMAPI
I got a meteorite in a rather annoying place. There is any mod to move it?
When I try to install it gives me an assembly error message:
Error:

Hi, I’m having an issue with modded multiplayer. I’m on Game Pass PC, and whenever I try and launch Co-op when I launch it through SMAPI, it just says I need to log in to use multiplayer. When I click OK, it just flickers off for a second and comes back on. No Xbox login screen or anything.
what ver of windows is that-
i know, but if its windows 7, do you have sp1
windows 8.1
ah
Are you on steam?
yeah
When did this error occur? Right after you clicked on the install on Windows. bat file ?
yeah
Open the extraxted smapi installer folder. Do you see the Readme file?
Ok good. Open it and there should be instructions how to do it manually if the game isn't detected. Try to follow them.
So i've been fighting with my mods, i've uninstalled and reinstalled the PPJA trees a couple of times, and then the problem seemed to infect Stardew Expanded as well. It keeps saying Missing Meta ID.
i see vortex
.q 5758
[#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.

Yeah, I tried that, it's one of the mods that it said is missing Meta Id

hey All, I recently got back into SV, and got quite a few mods running.
So far so good and no crashes, but looking at the smapi log I noticed some content being outdated/not running. I managed to get all the content updated (besides one), but I noticed I still have an issue with two DLL's.
https://i.gyazo.com/ca2de162ab89580378f771565d3f4c72.png
https://smapi.io/log/69d90158999d4278b4422ae409e2277d
And I am not sure why these two wont load.
I'd really appreciate some help.
to start: dont use vortex. that will solve most if not all of your issues
manual installation is the best thing you can do, as vortex doesnt really like treating files delicately(?) esp with stardew
which is a very particular game
yea, before troubleshooting the list was a lot bigger. but even when manually installing these two, smapi goes nope.
so my recommendation: stop using vortex, reinstall the mods, make sure your smapi is up to date and your game is up to date, and then post another log
by reinstall i mean delete all traces of them and redownload
!compat
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. :)
^Any C# (non-content pack) mods should be listed there
Along with the latest update, or a notice that they're broken if there's no latest update
someone can help me? the flower dance doesn’t start
!log
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
You seem to have a mod patching the flower dance that might be NRE-ing somehow?
oh you've got to be kidding me
I have to uninstall and reinstall smapi every time I want to play
welp
i have one mod called flowerdancing
Try uninstalling that mod and see if you still get the crash?
ok
it worked, this mod was really the problem
thank you
Reporting this to the mod author (with the log!!) may be helpful for them
wait, i thought it worked, but it didn't 😦
I really want to play Stardew multiplayer with mods, can someone help please?
Hi, so im using mods but it looks like my screen is 'zoomed in' Anyone know how to fix this?

Ah, thank you! I’ll see if that helps.
can I get some help with something? it is possibly mod related, but, I got this letter, and it won't go away
are you using fetk
thats the one
yea
I believe it's needed for one of the mods that I have
should I remove fetk, or is there a workaround?
dunno, if you have another mod that depends on it it might be hard to do
Mail Services Mod does the same thing
yup
My friend and I have a multiplayer game. We have absloutely no red or purple errors. One of the mods we seem to have trouble with is PPJA More Trees. When I have for example, a banana sapling, it shows up as a butterfly cage on her screen (just a random example). Some of the trees we can both see, while others are random objects. Any suggestions? Do you need our SMAPI logs?
Sounds like you don’t have the exact same mods
We do! We compared our mod folders down to the very last detail
or some json shuffle
Even folder names?
Yes
so, @dusty spruce, does mail services mod require fetk?
No, it requires Mail Framework Mod instead
ok

another question, I know there are mods that let you condense fruit trees, but, is there a mod that removes the spacing requirement of oak/pine/maple sapline per 3x3 area?
what mod condenses fruit trees?
huh ok thanks
They don't have a spacing requirement afaik
afaik when they are growing they do, but once a tree is fully grown, another tree can grow right next to it.
i space mine out so i can walk through them
but with automate i guess i don't need to...
Ah I think they maybe can't reach full maturity.
I always space mine out too since it looks nicer so I never noticed.
Hello, not sure what's causing this but if I try to go to Ginger Island by Obelisk if it's raining my game crashes and when I trigger the scene when Leo gets his treehouse built in Pelican Town the game crashes. SMAPI Log https://smapi.io/log/b4d6b8f0c07440d5a66f22c6c0caa557
Could you post a log with the crash? Possibly install Warp Snitch first just in case (it's a mod). I'm seeing a big patchsummary in this log but no crash
That was my latest log, the game just freezes with those conditions.
Huh, interesting
Can't get past the scene with Leo's house being built
Unfortunately the log is big enough my browser only sort of loads it
Wait, is this overnight?
If raining it freezes anytime and otherwise freezes at night right before the save after the scene
Is this only on Ginger Island?
Since I can't see anything in the log to debug, you might have to play mod binary search
Yes going to GI triggers the freeze
If you can trigger it consistently, then you can selectively remove mods until you find the problem
Ok

when i try to install smapi i get an error saying failed to execute child : no such file or directory (linux)
Linux is pretty messed up
Can you screenshot the exact error? Linux is much harder to debug in general because there's different distros.
Linux is pretty messed up
And also because...Linux, but on the plus side, you almost certainly have the tools to fix an error of that form
There are other worse problems you could have
I mean that in a "that's a weird way to phrase an error"
Worse case with an error of that form is manual install, if I'm understanding the report correctly
Although I now see what you mean....
Executing children is a bad look....
failed to execute child?
Yeah
I need the full error report
What's the reason of an always-on server
It sounds like a good way to lose your crops if they aren't in a greenhouse
so does that file exist?
Unless it pauses the game if nobody is online
Some people have nice friends, presumably
i tried also renaming the file got the same error but different file name
i also tried opening it with a text editor and adding the name of the directory but i still get the same error
took some time, but this looks way better! (no errors)
https://smapi.io/log/5a1ad2c753b944d1b4fdcb0f3e634ab6
oh, if there were no errors then no need for a log 😂 glad ur game works!!
I have one thing I wanna get working, but as its 3am, I'll leave that for tomorrow-luos :p
thanks for your time!
@lament prairie @gaunt gust managed to recreate the freezing bug, i have warp snitch https://smapi.io/log/8a05473644374d398fb5de96f5f6a9de
https://medal.tv/games/stardew-valley/clips/eePZT-qgBv1nq/d1337uUKycGt?invite=cr-MSx1R0EsNDQ2ODk2MDQs what happened
Watch frozen and millions of other Stardew Valley videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
the map is like static until you open the inventory then it corrects itself to your actual position on the map
everything was frozen
Don't know what happened but I just got a wall of ERRORs
also, people have issues loading my logs, I'm sorry
https://smapi.io/log/c8c107149fb54942af075e4ba77183ca
ok so i have an issue i CANT install smapi for windows for some reason does anyone know a fix
it just doesnt work
What's the installer saying?
well it normally doesnt oepn but when i open it with adminstrayot it says
Did you extract it?
The system cannot find the path specified.
Oops The SMAPI installer seems to have failed. The error details may be shown above.
Press any key to continue . . .
yes i did
What platform are you on? Steam, gog,
steam
sounds like your antivirus ate the installer?
disable it, redownload the installer and start it again.
ive tried that
which antivirus do you have?
Does it let you put the directory manually?
i dont know
Hmmm I don't quite remember since it's been awhile since smapi's been updated. Can you try running the installer again and seeing if you can do it manually?
i think their problem is that the installer doesnt even start
yea
it could be that your browser eats the installer aswell.
maybe idk
it really just sounds like your installer is malfunct
yea ive tried reinstalling a few times and stuff
how did you try reinstalling?
you mean you downloaded it several times and couldnt start the software?
or did you get into the command window before
well i deleted the old one and tried donwloading another copy which didnt work
My friends got it fine but I couldn't
can you make a screenshot of your smapi installer? the inside of the folder that its in
aswell as the size of your "internal" folder. just wanna check if you arent missing any components of your installer. that might narrow down the issue
u got multiple drives? @torpid dove
Mine has 4 more files then your says
And mine says it contains 6 folders
mind sharing how, so people who use the search function can find it later on?
so what i did was i went into the internal files then windows then went to down to smapi until i found like smapi installer and it installed
when i clicked it
my lightly modded game seems to be lacking all random events, any idea if that's some known issue or just really weird "luck"? (summer y2, no animal birth, shroom tree, owl capsule, witch fairy... nothing)
you may just have really bad luck lol

but if you have a mod that interferes with it, it would obviously cause a problem. could you post a log and show what mods you have?

yeah none of those change any luck, you just have bad rng 😂
my rng is too random, I demand my regular useless meteorite whine (thanks for checking)
it says theres an error at line 9 in TranslatedStrings.json, id check there first
might be something stupid like a comma missing lol
also, please update your other mods 😭 sometimes those might cause problems unknowingly
do I edit the code??
that's next on my list! currently updating everything rn
no, just look at it and see if its missing a bracket or a comma or something
if u dont know what ur lookin for, just send an ss of that general area lol
Ohhh, I think it is missing a comma on line 9. is that the only thing? I can add it in there
@jolly hazel project yellog is overriding it. (Sorry for the 2nd ping)

Hello! This is the first time I'm using this sub, so (hopefully) I'm doing it righ...
So, basically, I have an issue with my NPC.
The game doesn't follow when it moves.
Here is the SMAPI log:
omg that was literally it. I edited the translationstring file, and now it throws no errors. however, I don't think the mod has my birthday saved anymore 
Just in case, if this in not the correct sub, I apologize in advanced!!
yay i'm glad!! 
so, your log wont load for me on my phone bc its so big 😭 if you made modgroups and only used the mods you needed for your npc, then checked in a clean save, itd be easier to report the issue that way
so that the log is smaller and it also gets rid of things that might potentially be making it error
omg wait, I just had to trigger the birthday selection cutscene again for some reason. you're the best! thank you for your help!!!!! 
Just in case, this is the error that repeats itself many times. I will try what you asked about the SMAPI log
ooh yeah it does not like that
i didnt check but do you have custom npc fixes in that log AND/or any maps loaded via tmxl?
Hmmm...if you are asking if I am using mods that use tmxl, yep....I'm kind of confused with the question...sorry! 😒
I'm new with crashes in SDV
23:25:34 TRACE SMAPI Content Patcher loaded asset 'Maps/Custom_DTZ_PlaneSky'.``` the "Input string was not in a correct format" errors start after these. not sure if they are related, but downtown zuzu seems to be having some problems in any case
i'm confused by those two messages though, first it says it's not loading the map as usual, but then loads it anyway?
well, i guess they might be different patches
if that even makes sense... anyway, seems it's already reported on nexus for downtown zuzu
Quick question: How do you determine your coordinates in game? Like if I'm trying to move the position of something in the config but to do so I need the X & Y coords.
if you have farm type manager installed, you can type whereami to the smapi console and press enter to print out your characters coordinates + some other info
using debug mode mod is another way
Thank you!!
is this a bug for the multiple spouse mod
Ignoring the DTZ errors, anyone able to tell me what the first error shown means / how to fix it?
something something Walk of Life broke fishing
that's what it looks like
@stray spire see the above
It should also be noted that this is the second instance where my Foraging skill should proc to level 10 and instead my game freezes 
Not sure if Walk of Life is responsible for that
but I'm also not sure what else it would be
is there any mod that allows me to sleepover with npcs
Sve
Also was a sleepovers one but I think its outdated
Am thinking of adding a sleepover feature to Juliet.
also, if i add new mods in the mods file while the game is running, will the game still run as normal or will it crash?
or will it just not add the mod
Nothing will happen. You need to restart to add it.
ohhhh okay thanks
what does this mean?
Basically means something wasn't downloaded, are you using a mod manager?
You should probably install that mod again ^^
If you're using a mod manager like vortex; don't

The only solution I have in mind would be for some mobile user to send me an xnb of the file which I'm pretty sure is the culprit
i forgot to install the actual mod, i had only installed the outdated one, i fixed it, thanks for helping
Nono, haha. Just drop a log and we'll help if we can ^^
Actually I don't think you can use xnb mods on mobile.
As far as replacing the content files.

Would people consider a mod like this cheating? https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3094?tab=description

Hey so I play stardew valley on 2 computers using steam, does anyone know if I can play a modded farm on both?
Will it do anything to the other farms I play on the 2 computers as well?
So the mods won't be stored in the cloud so you will have to copy them over yourself. As long as you have the same mod set up between the computers, you should be able to play your saves fine. If you want to have some modded and some not, I recommend using mod groups.
!modgroups
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
I do sometimes have issues with Steam Cloud duplicating my save files though so be on the lookout for that.
Ah tysm!
there is this "dedicated always on server" mod, right? is there a comprehensive explanation of how to install?
https://i.imgur.com/Ow1m2X4.png but i did update it i dont understand
Oho Davi Portrait xnb 1.5.1 intro portrait folder and Portrait Anime Mods OhoDavi 1.5 into mods folder
those shouldn't be both installed at the same time most likely, and the one that's installed into the mods folder is a better choice. the update notice is probably a mistake by the mod author and can be ignored
oh i thought u need to do both
!reset you can do this to get back the original game files if you already replaced them
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 :)
ah thx
need help with this one
the mod and the game is working fine but I want to know what the error may be
!log for better info ^^
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
https://smapi.io/log/38b5af177077490a82e6a375ba735c7a - can anyone help w this error
it's probably the outdated version. https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2731 this one probably works. and cjb cheats menu has the function too i think
NPC's in my game go to the bus stop and disappear at one specific tile. Happening to modded and vanilla npc's. Can't find them on map either. Has anyone else faced this issue?
!log
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
Is there perhaps a mod making them use the bus to go to another location?
I'll send the log but nothing really shows up on it
I'm also dealing with another problem regarding not being able to open a mods config menu, but commented on the mod page about that
Some mods don’t have GMCM integration
It's supposed to
You have a mod adding a warp there that somehow is causing a circular NPC path
Debugging that is a bit harder because it won’t show on the log
maybe
most probably. it must be one of the mods i have added recently
it has happened with downtown zuzu, the npcs going to some location there. i don't think they know what's causing it yet
So it's zuzu?
or a combination of it and some other mod
Should I let the creator know that this is happening? Or are they already aware
can confirm it was happening to me with the newest zuzu update too
Ah alright
Someone got stuck in the lamp post. I hate when that happens!
Rip
hey is there a way to find out if two mods are not compatible together?
if they error
Read the mod description?
hmm i dont think theres an error
im honestly new to using mods on stardew... i just got a mod that made the npcs look different and the menu's are a different theme.. yet the npcs are the same
if that makes any sense
!log this and the mod name make it usually pretty easy to figure out why it's not working
Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?
(as long as you view an npc in the game that it's supposed to work for before uploading the log)
hi everyone! does anyone know how to fix smapi changing my screen resolution? 
when i open stardew with smapi, the game doesnt fit my screen.
!startuppref
If your resolution is messed up try deleting startup_preferences This can be found on Windows at %appdata% > Stardew Valley > it's in that folder, or C:\Users\Yourwindowsnamehere\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley or for Mac can be found at ~/.config/StardewValley To get here you'll want to go to your desktop, then in the menu bar select Go -> Go to Folder...
its still not working when I try to fullscreen
im here for one of my friends @solemn plaza , her steam folder is linked to her user account and its not letting smapi launch with launch options
anyone able to help?
Anyone know why Happy Birthday isn't working? - https://smapi.io/log/ff8f63dc0be0411197298c9be3ed5be1
It’s just been updated and rewritten and the bugs are@still being worked out, I think
Ahh okay. Thanks again for your help!
so idk what just happened but I was just peacefully chopping trees in the SVE expanded forest area when suddenly, after tabbing out and back in a few minutes later, the camera was no longer following my character and smapi was filled with nothing but angry red text.
the camera issue fixed itself after a few minutes, but if anyone could uh try and help me understand what went wrong, that'd be greatly appreciated
unfortunately I'm gonna have to head off for now but if/when anyone has any idea as to what went wrong, please ping me so I can check later! thank you in advance 
hello, could anybody help me with mods?

i am trying to use mods for the first time and as i understand, i installed smapi, but i dont know how to turn them on or just how to use them

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
as a quick start though, most mods are drag and drop into the "Mods" folder
thanks, fixed it!
Can I have Always Raining in the Valley installed without having TMXL + PyTK? I don't really wanna install PyTK again 😅
Lemurkat's discord server has a version without those dependencies i think

@remote marsh
Can't be me.
WoL's patch to BobberBar.update() doesn't use Random nor touch any of the variables that are used in Random in that method.
Okay i fixed my file
welp
@remote marsh but if you can reproduce it reliably, test it without WoL and let me know if it really is my fault. I've no idea how it could be though.
has been reported many times already btw. current version is just broken, use an older one or wait for an update for the mod.
Its fine i fixed it myelf
In the json file there should be a , at the end of the season line i thin kit was
oh really, they just uploaded a broken version
yeah i know, just surprised that they didnt run their latest update themselves before uploading
Same
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Seems kinda bizarre
Hi. this isnt mod help but how can i launch my ps4 controller onto my mods? I'm using Steam.
It's turned on but in the game I cant use it.
the same way you use it for vanilla stardew
Unless you have any mods that change the way the controller works which i doubt should be exactly the same
Iirc its just plug and play are you sure your controller is compatible
With a pc
make sure its connected before you launch stardew, try disabling controller support for stardew in steam and then run stardew (somehow that fixes it for me sometimes)
ok ill try disabling it
Hello dear People of Discord, dear tech witches and tech wizards.
I play currently with roughly 150 mods, that are together in a modpack of nexus games, so far so good.
now i wanted to up the ante a little bit and make a even bigger farm and greenhouse. but it says manifest is invalid, smapi log here: https://smapi.io/log/16782402e3f14faaa7a97d244ea91333
i googled a bit and found out how a manifest needs to look, but as i am not that inot tech it looks the same to me.
Please, pretty please, help a unworthy servant of the tech gods 🙏
I wanted to install "UI Info Suit" but the mod is no longer updated so I would like to know if there is a mod that does the same thing?
.q 5783
[#5783] "If you go to https://github.com/Annosz/UIInfoSuite2/releases, you can find UI Info Suite 2, which works with Stardew 1.5.5+. Download the first zip, not the source code." - @gaunt gust (02 Dec 2021 @ 03:22:30 AM UTC)
ty
i haven’t viewed the log in full (and i prob don’t have time to do a long conversation sry), but if smapi says a manifest file cannot be found, one of the mods you use does not have the actual file that tells smapi the information it needs to load the mod
this means you have to find the folder that is missing the files and delete it, then reinstall it
id also like to add that mod packs might package out of date mods (a lot of mods update really really fast) so you should probably just mod manually
you can use mod packs as references to mods you want to download
basically one of your mod folders has been screwed up so you need to reinstall it
you're not running via vortex are you?
i am
.q 5853
[#5853] "Hi! You seem to be having an issue with Vortex, which is maintained by Nexus. I'd recommend asking on their official discord, which can be found here https://www.nexusmods.com/discord." - @gaunt gust (02 Feb 2022 @ 08:26:33 PM UTC)
Most of here don't use Vortex due to the issues it can cause
If you want to use Vortex, you can ask Nexus for help, but since I don't use Vortex and it doesn't provide any debugging tools I am aware of, it's hard to figure out what's wrong
Vortex sometimes likes to snack on manifests for some reason
you can use star drop if you want to use a mod manager though
i haven’t encountered any problems yet but it’s prob better to just mod manually
okay i guess i will look into that, thanks
(it’s on nexusmods)
downside to using stardrop is you might have to figure some stuff out yourself
thats >.> exactly why im here
it's still in alpha last I heard, but since it's written just for Stardew I'm excited to see where it goes!
seems to work (except with xbox game pass version)
if you intend going down the stardrop route, there’s a guide on it in the mod description page
but just know it’s tedious when there’s a billion mods you want to install and it sometimes doesn’t delete mods correctly
jesus, steam definetly rotted my modding capabilities
pain
Soo I tried my best trying to fix the long loading with Smapi...apparently i cant join CO-OP either now. any ideas? (idk if i upload log here)

White Water Farm Map - Riverland Farm at Stardew Valley Nexus about this mod, I didn't understand its installation method... would it work on mobile?
It's a XNB mod, so it wouldn't work
I mean, you can install it- but it's not recommended since it directly replaces the game files
!xnb
XNB mods often break the game and are not recommended. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods for more info (and a list of Content Patcher alternatives), and https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files to fix problems caused by XNB mods. For mod creators, see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Editing_XNB_files for help unpacking & editing them (including for use with Content Patcher).
I prefer not to risk it with xnb
Yeah, it's really better not to
However- if you feel like porting the xnb mod to ContentPatcher, the last link in Governor has instructions
I don't think you can really use xnb mods on mobile
Oh, yeah that too. I forgot the mobile part
Unless your phone is rooted i don't think you can access apps' files
(though ive never played it in mobile so who knows)
http://forums.stardewvalley.net/threads/migrating-xnb-mods-to-content-patcher-packs.564/post-26394 I believe this is the mod for ContentPatcher?
This thread coordinates the migration of existing XNB mods to Content Patcher packs, and tracks unofficial conversions.
What is Content Patcher?
Content Patcher lets you edit the game's XNB data through SMAPI, without replacing the actual files and with zero programming needed. You can edit a...
Can you use xnb mods on mobile
I don't know if I can make the mod become a CP, but thanks for your attention
Yes, that's the mod! Thank you
@swift zephyr just install the mod from here and it'll be fine 
Not that I am aware of
Xnb mods are put into the SDV Content folder and there isn't one on mobile.
Where did you put it?
the mods? You yourself using smapi make the content folder be generated
But from experience I don't recommend many xnb mods
Smapi doesn't make a content folder. That already exists on pc.
Smapi makes a mod folder.
I don't know how to explain sorry, but there is a way to use xnb on mobile
Can you link me to something explaining how?
I can explain more about how to make the folder appear and the mods work, it's not difficult
Because the only way I know how is to extract the game to an apk, then extract that, edit the game's files, and then package it all back up into an app.
Which is definitely not something people ahould be doing 
Sorry, I don't understand you
Thank you!!!
Hey does anyone know how to fix the whole multiplayer thing not working
