[analog meteor]

dude ive been doing it that way for litteral years

[cedar lark]

or if you're super lazy, a desktop shortcut to the mods folder

[analog meteor]

i feel so pea brained rn

[astral plover]

it wasnt always part of steam btw

only ever since they changed the layout like 5 years back or so

altho

you could go trough properties and then something something to also go there

[analog meteor]

ye i tipically go through properties

[gilded wedge]

Yo, my screen stays after fading to black as soon as Robin and Lewis leave me at my farm and I cant seem to figure out the error. From the looks of it, the mods are working fine so idk what else is making it stay black. Heres my error logs - https://smapi.io/log/d06701aebf744ac5aef4f90b0f332cb2

[restive basalt]

is there a way to have to versions of the game, one vanilla and one with SMAPI?

[neat plaza]

yes

just open vanilla

[analog meteor]

yea you could just save a file of your vanilla file and seperate it from your SMAP one

[clear eagle]

First update Ohodavi's portrait mod

[gilded wedge]

It says to update it from 0.5 to 1.5.0, which I did download the 1.5 version?

I downloaded from the main file on the nexus page

[clear eagle]

Uh, I don't know then but the error might be related to it.

Not the whole error tho

[dire fractal]

Do you have a mod called ErrorHandler in your folder?
If not reinstall Smapi.

[gilded wedge]

I don’t, no

[cursive crag]

the Ohodavi thing is just a manifest misprint on the author's part

[clear eagle]

Yea seems like you've uninstalled NPCs mid playthrough

It keeps saying something about Henchman?

So you might need ErrorHandler

[gilded wedge]

Will downloading that manage all errors for me?

[clear eagle]

Reinstall SMAPI first

[cursive crag]

Henchman is a vanilla NPC so maybe verify files on steam?

[clear eagle]

ErrorHandler comes with Smapi

[gilded wedge]

Oh, I don’t have that in my mods file lmao

I’ll try that and see how it goes

[clear eagle]

Yea try validate game files too

[gilded wedge]

Alright, time to watch the intro for the 20th time

[dire fractal]

You can skip that

[gilded wedge]

Yes but that’s when you get to Stardew

[dire fractal]

Oh, the error?

[gilded wedge]

I mean, the skip button doesn’t show up until you meet Robin, but even then if I do the whole thing or skip it it still gives me the perma black screen

[cursive crag]

it's on the create a farmer menu too

[gilded wedge]

I ticked that but it doesn’t skip lol

[cursive crag]

huh....weird

[dire fractal]

You can check the Skip Intro Button on the farmer creation menu

[gilded wedge]

I did

Doesn’t work

[dire fractal]

That's weird

Either it's a technical issue or Get Glam maybe messing with it?

[gilded wedge]

Idk lol

[dire fractal]

Could you remove Get Glam?

Fashion Sense is way better

[gilded wedge]

Oh does fashion sense do the same thing?

I have both installed

[dire fractal]

And more

[gilded wedge]

I’ll remove get glam

[brazen pawn]

anyone know why my game froze? i had to restart my pc to get out of it https://smapi.io/log/603b70f2fcb44581934db9bb0997be2e

please help because this happened to my game earlier this week too

[shy orbit]

!reset if you didn't do it already

[native dragon]

@gilded wedge 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 :)

[shy orbit]

i don't know, but fetk and tool-upgrade delivery service is known to break mail at least

[brazen pawn]

the mail didnt crash my game

i was just planting watermelons and i needed energy so i crafted a food thing and it froze

[shy orbit]

no, but some mail will be broken when you have those installed as far as i know

[brazen pawn]

do you know if fetk is required for any of my mods

like is there a way to see that on the log

[shy orbit]

no idea unfortunately. but they probably have a hard dependency on it if they require it, and won't load which shows on the log

[brazen pawn]

oh alright thank you

[gilded wedge]

Okay so I reset my game files, how do I get the mods working again? Theyre still in the mods folder

[shy orbit]

just reinstall smapi

[gilded wedge]

Do I just do that via the same file I used to install?

[shy orbit]

yeah

same thing

[dire fractal]

is there a mod to recolour winters?

besides earthy recolours

[gilded wedge]

Alright, cause its asking me to use the same directory where stardew is installed but idk how to get that off of mac LOL

[shy orbit]

it shows on the log, in the Game info section at the top https://smapi.io/log/d06701aebf744ac5aef4f90b0f332cb2

[gilded wedge]

Doesnt work

[shy orbit]

what do you get from it?

[gilded wedge]

That directory doesn't seem to exist.
Type the file path to the game directory (the one containing 'StardewValley.exe'), then press enter.

well, technically .dmg for me since im on mac

[shy orbit]

what version is the smapi installer? i'm not sure it should be asking for the exe anymore

[gilded wedge]

3.9.2

[shy orbit]

yeah, it's too old

[gilded wedge]

Ill delete it then

okay redownloaded it

oh thank god it worked

skipped intro and it started with the bed

tyty

[red hollow]

Hi, I started up stardew again after a while and got this. I tried searching for an easy solution but I'm not great with these things, so I'm hoping someone here can help me

[shy orbit]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#.22Could_not_load_.27Stardew_Valley.27_or_one_of_its_dependencies.22 here are some common fixes

[neat plaza]

update smapi

[red hollow]

haha like I said I'm not great with these things, so even though your advice is probably good, I can't do much with it

[neat plaza]

https://smapi.io

download latest

[analog meteor]

anyone know any cool mods that are vehicle's that arent your horse

if so plz let me know

[astral plover]

are there even any other vehicle mods besides tractor?

[analog meteor]

yea but theyre mostly for horses

[fickle siren]

@bright ocean Just thought I'd reach out and ask for permission to share my Downtown Zuzu edits to match Eemie's grass? I'm no modder or even a graphic person, I just quickly (and rather amateurly lol) edited some of the DZ tilesheets so I wouldn't be blinded by vanilla grass anymore 😅 I think they match enough with Eemies to be adequate until/if a proper recolour is released so thought I may as well ask.

[neat plaza]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[restive basalt]

Where can I find my snapt log on android

[restive basalt]

Ok

[shy orbit]

android needs older versions of many mods. the wiki has some guidelines to how to find the correct versions (if they exist) https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Android#How_do_I_use_mods_that_need_Stardew_Valley_1.5.3F

[restive basalt]

I know

What is DLL

[cursive crag]

for pytk you need version 1.19.6 for android I think

[neat plaza]

dynamic link library

[restive basalt]

can someone send me a link of this version of the mod because i can't find it

[cursive crag]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1726?tab=files you can sort the old files by version number and grab the one that says 1.19.6

[restive basalt]

Thanks

[prisma sage]

Hello, there is no "mods" folder in my Stardew Valley folder, how can i do ?

[dusty spruce]

[shrewd dagger]

when unzipping smapi - do I make a mods folder under the SDV folder or under the content folder?

[neat plaza]

sdv but smapi makes it automatically

[shrewd dagger]

smapi did not make it.

[neat plaza]

did smapi error?

[shrewd dagger]

I have to extract smapi into something before the install

[neat plaza]

you extract it anywhere

[shrewd dagger]

oh got it ty

[shrewd dagger]

so I downloaded seasonal garden farmhouse - but part of the house wasn't changed? and some were?

[shy orbit]

did you get the "other mods" that are mentioned in the description? it probably needs them to look a bit more uniform

and might need to change wallpapers/floors too (where possible)

[shrewd dagger]

Okay, I thought I had downloaded all of them but I'll double check. Thanks!

[tough heath]

so I want to get a custom greenhouse on inmersive Farm 2 remastered. I know it has their own greenhouse but I don't like it. I have been thinking of some ways to brute force it. One would be remplaze the IF2 greenhouse file with the mod greenhouse (same localization and name). The other one would be deleting the greenhouse file on IF2 so that the game just chooses the mod one

Does anybody has experience with this?

I'm sure I'm not the first one trying to mess with this

[dusky canyon]

take the .tbin or .tmx file of the greenhouse you want and replace the one in the IF2 folder with that. rename your greenhouse file to the name that was originally in the if2 file

[tough heath]

cool. Thanks!

[cursive crag]

there are also options to disable it in the config of IF2, no need to brute force

[cunning night]

I'm having the same issue as Viv and I have the latest version of smapi

I just started up again today also

[shy orbit]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#.22Could_not_load_.27Stardew_Valley.27_or_one_of_its_dependencies.22 some common fixes (i'd make sure that the game has updated first)

[hybrid tangle]

doing a cottagecore aesthetic farm w/ my partner does anyone have any ideas for mods

ping me

[exotic plover]

Anyone experienced the game crashing when they tab out while it's loading the night menu?
It happens very consistently, though when I tried to intentionally reproduce it I somehow couldn't get it to happen.
No errors in the SMAPI console before it crashes, nothing in the logs (it just stops), and only happens when it's loading the night menu- if I tab out at another time it's fine.
(Feel free to ping me with a reply)

[wintry summit]

I've just found about yellogs furniture mod and would really have it but nexus deleted it? I'm on their tumblr rn and it just leads me to the nexus site again any solution to get the files elsewhere?

[dire fractal]

I don't use the mod but, if they deleted it on nexus it may be they don't want the mod used/distributed anymore

Unless it was nexus deleting their mod (?) for some reason, in which case no idea.

You could always ask! Most tumblr blogs let you do that

[dusky canyon]

they deleted their mods off of nexus because of a new policy

they have a blog but only buildings are on there

[wintry summit]

ooh i see! thank you

[wintry summit]

aw damn, i really liked it

thanks too!!

[lone escarp]

whenever i open my stardew and click on co op or load it freezes

Is there a way to fix it without just getting rid of the mods

[dire fractal]

Did mods work well before?

Or did you install any new one by chance?

Also

[dire fractal]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[dire fractal]

If it freezes for a few seconds then works normally, it may be because of pytk or tmxl. But if it never loads it may be a mod is causing trouble

[lone escarp]

sometimes when i leave it for like 3 minutes it loads but sometimes it doesn’t

I'll do some messing around for a bit

[lone escarp]

what do those mods do

my friend just gave me a bunch of things to install so i did

[dire fractal]

Tmxl helps loading custom maps. Pytk is a mod library (stuff like tmxl requires it)

Does any red text pop up in the smapi console?

[charred trench]

Yall got any recommendations on good cellar mods? :)

[frosty pilot]

ive never used mods before and want to try some but i dont want to affect my main farm how do i prevent this as the mods just seem to add to every save?

[cedar lark]

depends on what mods you're adding really

[late nebula]

!modgroups

[native dragon]

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

[cedar lark]

but yeah if you want to leave your original save alone you'd need modgroups like Maythorn posted

[frosty pilot]

oh okay thank you

im not sure which mods yet would like to try the extended version which is the one im worried about affecting my world

[cedar lark]

do you mean expanded?

[late nebula]

You could also use launching with smapi versus launching with the stardew valley icon. If you use steam, both are in the stardew valley folder.

[cedar lark]

!sve

[native dragon]

Stardew Valley Expanded (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3753) is a mod which adds a lot of new content and areas to the game. It has many dependencies, so be sure to follow the install guide which is on the github wiki along with FAQs and troubleshooting steps for common issues: https://github.com/FlashShifter/StardewValleyExpanded/wiki

[frosty pilot]

yes expanded

[late nebula]

As long as you don't load up the save you want to keep vanilla, it won't be affected.

SVE would be best on a new save anyways.

[frosty pilot]

oh okay thats what i was hoping tbh thanks guys

[cedar lark]

yup, and it has some recommended farm maps too which would cause vanilla issues

[dapper star]

Hi, I'm French I'm sorry for my bad english, but I have question. Is there a disabled enabled bouton for mods ? (To only have it in just one farm and not the others ?)

[finite lake]

You can use a mod manager to create different profiles for different farms

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10455

This is one for example

[cedar lark]

I think like maythorn said you can just run the vanilla version and just don't open the modded character as well

not 100% positive

[main ingot]

^

just go into your folder and run the regular stardewvalley.exe and itll load vanilla

[dapper star]

I think I understand

[frank garnet]

Hey I have an problem with the Ridgeside Valley Wedding Party, anybody here who knows whats the cause of it?

thanks

[wet fog]

Should I reinstall SMAPI?

[dusty spruce]

it looks like you had some kind of mod that added a special order, but then removed it

reinstalling SMAPI will not help

(and it generally wouldn't help with any issues, if your game loads fine)

[wet fog]

So should I just not bother then?

[dusty spruce]

i think there was some kind of command you could use to try clearing this special order

i don't remember what it was though

[wet fog]

Hmm I’m not sure and I’m not that tech savvy so I don’t want to delete or do anything that will mess anything up lol. It’s really not hurting anything, just annoying

[dusty spruce]

@wet fog i think you can just type in debug cso in the SMAPI console, then hit Enter

and it should clear it

[sinful dock]

I was wondering if someone could help me learn what to do with smapi after i download it because nothing gives me clear enough instructions

https://smapi.io/log/8ffe0bdc62c2477a97412c496f7a96ea

[cursive crag]

I believe [DGA] Farmer to Florist is messed up and you need the JA version

[south sun]

I'm in a SDV co-op game and having issues with joining on mac. When I join in, the character doesn't show up and I'm stuck in my bed, but I can see tools when I scroll over to them. The other windows users can join fine with the same mod files, and here is the log: https://smapi.io/log/739889259998494b87812bff328d022b

We're hoping to avoid having to update smapi because we had to do a bunch of workarounds to let mac install smapi (and it is denying access again when we try to update it). If anyone has experienced anything similar it would help, thank you!

[grim wadi]

Uh so in the simplest terms I can ask, what types of mods should I not add to a pre-existing save? Thanks in advance

[dusty spruce]

is the save a vanilla one? or a modded one?

[grim wadi]

vanilla, I haven't used mods before

[dusty spruce]

then most mods should be fine to add

i can't think of any that wouldn't be

[grim wadi]

oh ok, thx, I was thinking about adding some graphics mods, but duping my save file rn just to test

[dusty spruce]

but some i just wouldn't recommend to add, because it would feel weird

[grim wadi]

was also thinking about like walk of life

[dusty spruce]

like big content mods

[grim wadi]

yea I'll save that for when I get bored lol

[dusty spruce]

not sure how Walk of Life handles existing saves

considering it changes the professions

@stray spire ?

[cursive crag]

mod page says it's fine 🙂

[misty thicket]

Deleted and it redownloaded/re-extracted, exact same error slate

[grim wadi]

Thx, I was checking a few and I think they didn't list that, unless I didn't read that part

[lament prairie]

It's not your download, it's the mod. Go back a version.

[misty thicket]

version 3.0.10 insted of 4.0.0?

those are the only two on Nexus

[lament prairie]

Idk, I don't use them, but that sounds plausible

[misty thicket]

all righty, testing again

[stray spire]

@grim wadi WoL should work fine on existing saves, it just changes the vanilla perks to modded ones. The only thing that isn't retroactively applied is in cases of professions that count how many times you've done certain things. So for example, Ecologist and Gemologist will not count any forage/minerals collected before installing the mod.

[grim wadi]

Thanks for the info, really appreciated

[misty thicket]

@lament prairie most of the errors are gone, few remained (Pistachio Ice Cream, Satvia, one other)

checking the main Artisan Valley mod to see if that's the problem

yep, seems to be the problem

[cursive crag]

the remaining ones probably aren't errors, like for the Pistachio Ice Cream you need both the ice cream machine mod and whatever mod adds pistachios. Not having those is fine, you'd just miss that one recipe.

[misty thicket]

oh that's what it is

did not realize

[crimson lichen]

Yeah I keep having that error too lol, it took me a while to realize the pistachio comes from boarding house which I don't have

[cursive crag]

yea you need to add a whole ass map extension to get them lol

[misty thicket]

boarding house, you say?

interesting

[grim wadi]

I tried duping a file, it didn't appear in loaded, do I need to turn off cloud saves on steam? Nvm still doesn't appear, I changed the farm's name already

[dire fractal]

duping a file doesn't show it on save files, even if you change the name

[grim wadi]

oh do I need some other software to be able to boot it up?

[dire fractal]

i have no idea how to work around it (im guessing a mix of changing the savefile's name and the folder), but, letting you know it's not a mod issue. afaik the game just does that
hm wait

[grim wadi]

It's a vanilla file, no mods

[dire fractal]

ohh. since you were on using mods i assumed it was modded

[gaunt gust]

You need to change the farm name everywhere it's referenced

It's referenced in a bunch of different places

[grim wadi]

I did that already, ima boot it up again rn, I also tried changing the id after my file's name, just added 1, changed the names in the old files too

If it didn't work I was gonna try booting up steam itself again assuming it might work somehow

[dire fractal]

https://www.stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Duplicate_a_save

found this

[grim wadi]

oh thx, I was on that, but the one I followed was literally 3 steps and kinda vague

[dire fractal]

you have to change the farm name (in the game savefiles) and in the folder too + change the number at the end

also sure

[young ice]

Hey can someone help me find pytk 1.13.17 because I don't know where that is?

[grim wadi]

I did those two, but I didn't change my farmer's actual name it didn't seem necessary

[dire fractal]

hm. well a guide i saw in steam said you also had to do that- if it doesnt work after (the guide from above ↑) id suggest changing the farmer name too. otherwise, no idea

[grim wadi]

if that doesn't work ima just start a new save to test my mods lol

so grateful for whoever made that wiki guide... must have stared at these lines for a while trying to datamine or something

[hoary bane]

!compat

[native dragon]

@young ice 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. :)

[young ice]

Thank u

[grim wadi]

uh it says Search for the 2nd mention of your name (ctrl+f to 'find') and change it to your new name. it's only mentioned once isn't it?

I only found my farmer's name once and my farm's name once.

[dire fractal]

I can't remember atm if its used more, but if you only get 1 result / cant find more, then there should be no issue

[grim wadi]

yea ima hope it actually works this time I just made another copy of the save and deleted the failed one

ok finally works @dire fractal tysm

idk how it didn't work last time.

[dire fractal]

Sure, glad it worked out

[grim wadi]

yea tbh that should be pinned or something tutorial is fast and good.

[dire fractal]

Hm, well it's not something i see asked very often- so maybe that's why it's not pinned? I bet

But yeah other than that, the wiki has a lot of stuff

It's super useful

[grim wadi]

Wiki is one of the best tools for any game, as long as someone has created the wiki

[bitter cedar]

Hey! I just joined the discord, but have been playing stardew for awhile now. I just have a question about getting a mod to work. The mods in question are the PPJA mods (Fruits and Veggies, More Trees, More Flowers, Artisan Valley). I've been using these mods for a long time in my personal save file and they've worked great. The problem started when I made a shared server with my gf. I got her to download all the same mods as me so we could use them in our shared server, and all the PPJA mods work fine for her, but for some reason when ever i harvest any of the added crops or trees or flowers, they're always the wrong item. Not just the wrong icon and/or wrong name, but the complete wrong item, with a different selling price as well. I've tried all the troubleshooting options listed on the mod page and i still have this issue on our shared farm. the most baffling part to me is that all the mods continue to work perfectly fine on all my personal save file farms, and the mods also work perfectly fine on my gfs side of our shared farm. this is rlly my last resort i really don't know how to fix it lmao. any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙂

[grim wadi]

I think I read somewhere earlier that it's best to only have the host to have the mod idk how that works tho

[bitter cedar]

yeah i was wondering that too cause my gf is the host

[grim wadi]

maybe try that, if it doesn't work then ig also search online for some stuff, steam or reddit usually have the answers, in my experience

[bitter cedar]

okay thanks sm!

[grim wadi]

np hope it works out

[#5859] "A Json Shuffle is when your Json Assets items rearrange their numerical IDs or different players have different numerical IDs assigned to the same object. See here for details: https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Json_Shuffle

Anytime you change your JA mods you can risk a shuffle. In multiplayer, you need to have exactly the same mods in exactly the same order as your friends.

Anytime you have a shuffle and then solve it, old objects may remain affected but new ones should be fine. You can sell or trash the old items, and spawn in new ones if needed with CJB item spawner." - @lament prairie (06 Feb 2022 @ 09:47:44 PM UTC)

[grim wadi]

hm didn't know that existed interesting

[bitter cedar]

ahh i see

makes sense thanks!

now to fix this should my gf stop having vortex manage her mods? i've always installed them manually but shes always used vortex does it make a difference?

[south sun]

if any mac users could share how they were able to get SVE co-op working I'd appreciate it :)

[quiet night]

Vortex tends to eat your JSON file'

[lament prairie]

Not sure, vortex horrifies me a bit tbh

[lament prairie]

I am extremely confused as to why you needed workarounds to get SMAPI

[bitter cedar]

same tbh i've never really gotten into using it 😭

[lament prairie]

I have a mac, and I have helped a lot of mac users, and most mac users don't have problems

[lament prairie]

To debug the issue, I need logs from all of you, or at least you and the host. I've played SVE mulitplayer with a windows user but it didn't require anything special.

[bitter cedar]

i wondered cause the PPJA mods all have the first troubleshooting option as stop using vortex lmao

[lament prairie]

.q 5758

[devout pumice]

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

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

[south sun]

There was some error message about denying access

[lament prairie]

What was the error message, exactly?

[south sun]

what is missing from the smapi log that would help out

[lament prairie]

The host/farmhand have a mismatch

I don't know what the mistmatch is because I only see your log (I assume)

The net-something-something error means there's a host/farmhand synch issue

[south sun]

thank you, let me find the host logs

[lament prairie]

There's a null reference error with regards to your bed, I suspect

Which is weird

but still probably a mismatch

MP mods are a bit finicky sometimes

[south sun]

yeah, I don't think it is a mod issue but I can't really see where else it would come from

here's the host log, I'll look through it as well: https://smapi.io/log/8b71d8eeee4845f2951f6f7da8ef5fab

[gaunt gust]

that means the last time you installed smapi you used sudo

use sudo to delete. Don't use sudo when installing again

[south sun]

When we opened the installer without sudo, we get a 'permission denied' error. I'll try to find the message, but I think that was it

[lament prairie]

did it include the word "internal"?

[south sun]

no, I don't think so

It goes process completed, then permission denied

[lament prairie]

Hmm

[south sun]

by the way, where should I look in the logs to see if there's a host/client mismatch?

[lament prairie]

Cross-reference the mods list, to start with (carefully)

Cross-reference the updates you are showing at the top

But before those, check the host log for an error too

[south sun]

got it, thank you

Can't find any host log errors, and mods are exactly the same after double checking which makes sense since we have a shared file with all the mods we used

[lament prairie]

Hmm.. odd. Can I see the logs?

[south sun]

Sure,
host: https://smapi.io/log/8b71d8eeee4845f2951f6f7da8ef5fab
player: https://smapi.io/log/739889259998494b87812bff328d022b

[lament prairie]

One of you has a Range Highlight update and the other doesn't

This points me towards a mismatch of some kind (not sure what)

One of you has Love of Cooking and the other doesn't

Range Highlight might be fine to have different, Love of Cooking most likely isn't

[south sun]

The weird thing about that is the other windows users who don't have range highlight/exp bars don't have that issue. You might be right on the love of cooking though. I think when the players had it but the host didn't, it was fine

Maybe it's just a weird thing with host status

[lament prairie]

Love of cooking adds a bunch of items, so you can't have a mismatch or the crops go weird

[south sun]

I see. Would that affect the player when they spawn? My assumption is that once the player interacts with the item things start to get funky

I'll add it to the list of things to test

[lament prairie]

Not sure, Love of Cooking also overhauls all of cooking, so a lot of code

[south sun]

That makes sense. You think it's possible it would carry on to causing the object errors

[lament prairie]

I really don't think Love of Cooking can be different on different players—it changes up enough that everyone should have it.

[old raft]

I'm not sure if this is the right place or not so please let me know, I'm using the Love of Cooking mod as well as SVE and ridgeside and a few others. When I get to what I think is level 10 cooking, the game freezes when you finish the day and all I see is a black screen and unable to do anything. I think I'm supposed to pick a cooking talent but it bugs out.

No errors on smapi

[lament prairie]

hmm... can you post a log regardless?

!log

[native dragon]

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

[south sun]

love of cooking bringing us a side of bugs along with our ingredients

@lament prairie thank you for your suggestion. Any other ideas on what might be the issue if downloading love of cooking doesn't change anything?

[lament prairie]

Not sure, might be something in the pile of updates?

Most of them look okay-ish to not update but I can't really be sure, it's best practice to stay fully updated because sometimes mods rely on other mods' updates

[south sun]

Good point. I'll see if our group can get a new updated modpack and replace the old ones as a plan B. I'll be sure to let you know if it works out

praying that we don't have to update smapi though. macs can get weird

[lament prairie]

The only weirdness I've seen is .NET 5.0 not getting along with Macs on pre-Catalina OSs

Most of the M1 issues seem to have solved by the switch to .NET 5.0

Very old Macs (think 2012-ish) might have weird graphics driver issues as well

[south sun]

I guess I'm one of those special cases haha. thanks again for your help

[blazing egret]

I have autism and I really hate doing the mines because the sound the flies make really trigger my anxiety. i know it sounds silly but is there a mod that changes this sound?

[lament prairie]

I don't know if there's an exact mod to do it, but I think it would be straightforward to make one

Here's the rec list I know of that might cover mods like that https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Recommendations:_Accessibility_and_Ease_of_Play

[blazing egret]

I can look into doing it then

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7465 looks like a good fit man

I am really thankful

[lament prairie]

This would have been other mod I would have suggested, if that one doesn't work out you can try making a content pack for this one https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10232

[blazing egret]

Okay thanks!

sorry for the odd ball question again

[lament prairie]

No worries, that sound bothers me too!

[blazing egret]

I will let you know if I find a good fix

The game has some things about it that makes me not want to play it. But I'm trying to mod the things out that bother me, Because this game is so good!

[lament prairie]

That's one of the things I love about modding, that it gives people the ability to make the game work for them

[blazing egret]

Yeah

[lament prairie]

The accessibility rec list is one of my favorite rec lists

[south sun]

this makes me feel like I should get into making mods*

[blazing egret]

100%

I for instance

changed the combat because it always annoyed me how I'd not hit in the directions I wanted

so I added combat controls mod

and it got tiresome for me to water all the time

so I added more rain mod

and now the game is so much more enjoyable

I can focus on the things I love to do.

[old raft]

https://smapi.io/log/84223df4819846e9a10842f3cc969499

[lament prairie]

Well, you definitely did get to level 10 cooking

Doing 0: blueberry.LoveOfCooking.CookingSkill level 10 screen

I'm not sure why you get a black screen

I see that after that, SMAPI says it's done with a task

[old raft]

I can open chat and send a message, I plugged a controller in to see if I can just hit A or start

Its not showing me the skill menu

If I hit left or right on the D pad I can hear it moving to a different selection (I'm assuming)

[lament prairie]

Hmm, can you hit a selection? I suppose you might want to read the thing to pick it, but unfortunately this sounds like a bug I'm not sure how to fix, so you can either try to move past this via things like trying to select the menu, or you can report the bug and see if the author knows a fix (and it's unclear to me if it's Love of Cooking or Spacecore having an issue, or a more complex mod interaction)

However, the authors might not be able to figure out what's wrong without further testing

And it might take a while

[old raft]

I can't choose anything, I'm trying all buttons/keys

[lament prairie]

Unfortunately I don't really have any other ideas

You could try uninstalling Love of Cooking and reinstalling?

[old raft]

I'll refrain from cooking and post on a message on their nexus mods forum

[lament prairie]

Or hit escape?

[old raft]

escape does nothing :/

thanks for the tips

[south sun]

I'm just spitballing but maybe if there was a mod you installed between getting level 5 and level 10?

that might cause some conflict

[old raft]

it would be ridgeside

is there a way to modify the save file to make me level 10 with a skill?

[lament prairie]

I'm not very experienced at save file editing, not sure

!saves

[native dragon]

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

[lament prairie]

This page might have things at the bottom?

However, modded saves might behave a little differently

I'm not sure exactly how spacecore stores the data

[dire fractal]

Hey can someone walk me through how to get the mods to work in game?

[cursive crag]

I have love of cooking as well and soooometimes if I'm leveling up smapi hangs on that DEBUG SpaceCore Doing skill menus for an obscene amount of time

but it eventually loads and saves

[old raft]

When you say eventually, how long are we talking? I've waiting a bit before I force closed it

[cursive crag]

10+ minutes eventually

[oblique wing]

this is a dumb question but i kinda havent done this in a while so can you nest mods inside of folders
ex:

--> Mods
    |--> Tweaks
         |--> "Mod Name"

[lament prairie]

yes

[oblique wing]

ah thx

[lament prairie]

Just make sure your folder names aren't too long

[oblique wing]

kk

[lament prairie]

Windows has some filepath length limit

[cedar lark]

How's everybody doing

[vast coral]

anyone know how i can fix this? i'm trying to get the last few achievements in my game (catch every fish, cook every recipe, ship all items) but the remaining collectibles are items from mods and i have 0 idea on what they could be as they're shadowed out with the "???". ive uninstalled all the mods (SVE & stardew aquarium) so i can get the achievements through the base game, but im unable to launch into my save in-game as it keeps looping and instead get this error in SMAPI

[cedar lark]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[vast coral]

https://smapi.io/log/2689143286e549a882234b3089217152

[cedar lark]

you seem to still have content from SVE in there

its trying to find Victor from SVE

[vast coral]

i thought so haha, is there any way i can resolve that?

[desert totem]

I don't understand why this is happening. I don't have VPR so thats not changing the floor, I have ony one floor mod (the matching rustic walls and floors mod). I can't change the floor using AT. Any suggestions?

[cedar lark]

https://github.com/FlashShifter/StardewValleyExpanded/wiki/Uninstall-Guide

you followed all this?

[vast coral]

ohh i see, i did not follow this, no - i initially wanted to delete just the mod file, hop in game and make i get the achievements, then add the mod back into the folder as i still wanted to continue playing with sve afterwards

hmm, so i suppose doing a full uninstall through that guide would mean that the progress i made with sve will be deleted after i re-install?

[gaunt gust]

just use perfection tweaks

[sacred marten]

Anyone know what the mod that shows the blue backpacks is called?

[cedar lark]

probably UI2 but I'm not positive

[vast coral]

actually, now that ive read this, this is exactly what i did

[sacred marten]

Ohh ok because i have ui info suite 2 installed and it seems to work properly but it don’t show me the info with the blue backpack

[cedar lark]

do you use convenient chests?

[sacred marten]

I use chests anywhere

[cedar lark]

hm not sure then

[desert totem]

bumping this up since it kinda got drowned out

[cedar lark]

i do think its UI2 though which is ui info suite 2

[uncut tiger]

I have a problem that’s similar to Supah’s, but for me, my Smapi is saying that a couple of my mods have crashed on entry, the game failing to launch, and several mods have been skipped because they’re “not a smapi mod”. I don’t want to flood the chat with pictures.

[desert totem]

Those blue backpacks are a setting ingame iirc.

[cedar lark]

just post a smapi log

!log

[native dragon]

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

[vast coral]

thats also what i thought

[desert totem]

Look for a setting that mentions crafting

I don't have my game open or else I'd double check

[uncut tiger]

Gotcha. Thank you!

[sacred marten]

Ok thanks.. hope your issue is solved soon

[desert totem]

Considering I've looked through just about everything and didn't see a possible fix I'm not too hopeful but thank you nonetheless

I did remove a false dependency I set up earlier that I thought just stopped working but maybe it started working again idk

[spare relic]

That's a Vanilla Setting

[uncut tiger]

https://smapi.io/log/281acc2fb1854c2fa6af73dc21679a15

[cedar lark]

looks like you have some xnb mods

!xnb

[native dragon]

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

[cedar lark]

Game.Initialize() caught exception initializing XACT:
FileNotFoundException: Content\XACT\FarmerSounds.xgs

I'm guessing you're also missing a sound file?

[desert totem]

Eyyyyy that was the problem. False dependency did more harm than good

[wheat willow]

does anyone know what happened to the immersive characters shane mod github wiki?

[shy orbit]

not sure if you fixed it, but that happens if you remove a custom npc and don't have the ErrorHandler mod that smapi installs. it removes problematic npc data from the savefile and the save file loads normally after you've saved once with the error handler installed. some npc data like friendship points are kept in the save though, so not all progress is lost

[steady falcon]

Im having trouble with my stardew valley mods, I just put 4 recent mods and its not loading with smapi (Im pretty new to all of this so I dont know what im doing) I have stardew the most recent stardew valley update, these are the mods: skull cavern elevator, chest label system, stardewhack, tractor mod, harvest with scythe

[ashen garnet]

Urg. Okay, once again I am asking for Greenhouse help: I am using SVE with the Immersive Farm. I am trying to replace the greenhouse with BennyB's Divine Greenhouse. It kinda works, but the entry point is inside a wall, so I can't move anywhere. Any advice to fix?

[clear eagle]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[cursive crag]

there's a config in the IFR2 folder with settings to turn the greenhouse off, switch both to true

[ashen garnet]

It's already switched

Disable Immersive Farm Greenhouse is already set to True

[cursive crag]

oh there's a version in the files on the mod page compatible with if2, no idea if it works but have you tried it?

[ashen garnet]

do you have a link? I just used Nexusmods

[cursive crag]

it's on nexus

[ashen garnet]

Ah. Then yes, I used it

I've used other greenhouse mods before, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong now'

[steady falcon]

https://smapi.io/log/9d3bf69b19d9475aa9a79f3cc397f8bd

[shy orbit]

like when you enter the greenhouse from the farm, you get stuck in a wall inside the greenhouse?

[steady falcon]

would it just be the better crafting mod ?

[ashen garnet]

yep

[fickle osprey]

Hey everyone, thank you so much for the work you do here. I had a quick question. My husband and I are playing on LAN together and he has been having some issues. He's been having problems picking up items and getting disconnected. I have a lot of mods, so I was wondering if there was any in particular that might cause something like this? Or if its just the amount of mods itself? I'm 99.9999% sure we have the same mods, except for CP/cosmetic mods that shouldn't effect the other. I was trying to get his game up and running in a hurry, so it's very possible I missed something! If anyone wouldn't mind taking a look, here's his Smapi log: https://smapi.io/log/aed0b5d83c254bd6a1658650be28de18

[clear eagle]

I'm pretty sure all mods are loaded. May I know why you think they aren't loaded?

[shy orbit]

hm. i wonder how the greenhouse warps work. the farm maps have a map property for the default location of the greenhouse, but there doesn't seem to be any warps to greenhouse. the greenhouses itself have a greenhouse->farm warp inside them

[shy orbit]

can you take a picture of where you get stuck? or get the tile coordinates

[ashen garnet]

Um... screenshos is just pressing Print Screen, I think?

[shy orbit]

that probably works, if not, there's a native screenshot function on the settings tab if you scroll all the way to the bottom

[ashen garnet]

also... my farm map entirely is wrong. So that's likely a clue

[shy orbit]

yeah, there's probably some other things wrongs then

[ashen garnet]

I feel dumb for only just now realizing this, but yeah

I was previously using Pookachu's greenhouse, it was fine. I wanted to swap because of better sprinkler position

[analog meteor]

!HELP!
can someone help me with the Granpa Farm mod plz

i dont have one of the decayed buildings and idk if i get it later or if my file is messed up

[clear eagle]

Greenhouse?

[analog meteor]

heres the layout, in the bottom left theres no decayed building

[analog meteor]

i think so but im not sure

the bottom one is the way the layout of the Grandpa Farm it's supposed to be like this

[cursive crag]

you just have a building replacer on right? it should still be the greenhouse

[analog meteor]

is it because i already had the greenhouse built

before i downloaded the Grandpa Farm i already had built the greenhouse

[clear eagle]

Did you switch map layout mid playthrough?

[analog meteor]

yeeaaaahhh

was i not supposed to do that?

[formal tapir]

when the game stops. is it loading the mods?
I got RSV and SVE

[analog meteor]

yea it still loads every 55 mod i have downloaded

[cursive crag]

I don't see anything wrong with your map, you don't have the decayed building cause you fixed the greenhouse already and since they're movable now it didn't move when you switched farm layouts I suspect

if you want it down there you can ask robin

[analog meteor]

Ohh okay then thanks, i just thought my file was missing a building

[cursive crag]

well there's some stuff wrong with your map from switching but it's not the greenhouse

[analog meteor]

yeah some of my chest and statues stayed in a place where i cant reach them and theres some trees and rocks in my othere growhouse

[cursive crag]

reset terrain mod and noclip mod can help you move those and robin can fix the buildings

[analog meteor]

idk how to reset the terrain or do noclip

[shy orbit]

!rtf

[native dragon]

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

[shy orbit]

noclip mode is a mod too, you can find it on nexus

[analog meteor]

Okay thanks i'l look it up

[shy orbit]

reset terrain features needs an unofficial update that you can find with link above, but the instructions for how to use it are still only on the nexus page probably

[analog meteor]

Great thanks

[cedar lark]

does rtf also clear crops and chests you've placed

never used it

[shy orbit]

can't remember. it has a lot of options for what to clear

[cedar lark]

ah fair enough

[analog meteor]

I do not know but i am going to find out after i eat

[cedar lark]

this isn't a modding question I know but is there a pretty fast way to get stone

trying to mass make preserves jars is eating my supplies

[analog meteor]

tractodr

tractor

imo

[cedar lark]

tractor clears the stuff on your farm, i've already cleared mine

I was hoping for something similar to Fantasy Crops from PPJA

[analog meteor]

also rocks

if you have your =pickaxe equiped

[cursive crag]

I dunno if it'll fix all your issues but you're gonna wanna switch the [DGA] Crop and recipe mods out for their [JA] versions, the new ones cause messy errors

[hoary bane]

Doesn't clear craftables as far as I know, not sure about crops though

[cedar lark]

i need a crop that grows stone

similar to the coal plant lol

[astral plover]

just run trough the mine with explosive ammo slingshot

[cedar lark]

hm that's not a bad idea

with that wol perk i might even conserve ammo

[analog meteor]

https://smapi.io/log/7dafa4a801224bfe9292c50ddcf8a709

could someone help me out

im confussed on what i need to do next

Guys,is this compatible for mobile?https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11369

[analog meteor]

@cedar lark do you think you can help me with this plz

[cedar lark]

you need the unofficial version that was mentioned

[analog meteor]

do i not have it

[cedar lark]

nope

[analog meteor]

is the unofficial versian an off brand sdv?

[cedar lark]

no

https://forums.stardewvalley.net/threads/unofficial-mod-updates.2096/page-64#post-43678

[analog meteor]

can i have the unofficial version with the same version i have now?

[cedar lark]

no

delete the version from nexus

and use the one from the forums

[analog meteor]

will it curropt my original world?

[cedar lark]

it shouldn't

[analog meteor]

as in mess everything up?

do you know by chance how to do that

soz

[cedar lark]

how to do what?

[analog meteor]

delete the original and download the unoficial version

[cedar lark]

delete the folder

and add the new folder

[analog meteor]

which folder tho

i dont know which one

[astral plover]

you do it the same way you update any of your mods

[cedar lark]

the reset terrain features

[analog meteor]

ohhhh

[astral plover]

unofficial just means its not by the original author but using the same sourcecode. its just an update

[analog meteor]

ok i: delete the ResetTerrainFeature and the extracted version then download it on the unoficial version from the forum?

[analog meteor]

ohh ok i was confused

[cedar lark]

pretty much, the folder and I assume you're still keeping the .rar as well

delete them both

[analog meteor]

ok i did it im going to boot up sdv then

hell yea it worked

thanks again

[cedar lark]

np

[analog meteor]

i dont know if this is supposed to be happening with the mods but when i load into sdv it loads into my second monitor (my side monitor) instead of loading my game through my first monitor (my main monitor)

[cedar lark]

windows + shift + whichever arrow key you want it to move

[analog meteor]

is that to change the setting?

of the main monitor?

[cedar lark]

nope that just moves the active window between monitors

[analog meteor]

ohh okay thanks again

[cedar lark]

np

[civic axle]

valley expanded, does it remove gaining friendship point for just talking to the villagers? i dont get any from the conversations for some reason...

[cedar lark]

I don't think so but you could post the log to see if theres any conflicts or errors

!log

[native dragon]

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

[analog meteor]

ffs my sdv still keeps loading through my second monitor

[civic axle]

do you get friendship points for just talking to the villagers on vanila, correct?

[cedar lark]

yep once per day

i believe 20 points

depending on if they are in a unique animation as well

[civic axle]

hm..weird. it come sin affect after introduction quest? or before that even?

[cedar lark]

I'm not sure about that

[civic axle]

https://smapi.io/log/1470c4e4e3fa4b858c5279582cd59a8f

[cedar lark]

well there's a lot of errors but I can't say if they would cause your friendship issue

you are missing some dependency mods

and some of your mods are incompatible and need new versions

I could list everything out if you need, but its in the red text

[civic axle]

the vortex mod manager, does it have option of loading mods in certain order? or it doesnt matter in stardew valley?

[shy orbit]

espresso machine is probably outdated and included in artisan valley

[cedar lark]

I would avoid using a mod manager as well

[civic axle]

yeah, i have coffeee mod..

[cedar lark]

they tend to cause more issues then its worth

[civic axle]

damn..

[cedar lark]

then again

i hear there is a specialized one for stardew

stardrop or something?

[civic axle]

i remeber in skyrim you had to ahd certain order in mods loading, do you need that ins tardew valley?

[shy orbit]

there is, but it can't download mods i think

[cedar lark]

ah fair enough

[shy orbit]

loading order is handled by smapi in stardew valley

[cedar lark]

its pretty smart

[shy orbit]

and normally there's no need to do anything about the loading order, just install the mods however you want

[cedar lark]

there are some fringe cases with dependency issues

i think theres even a quote for it actually

where you need false dependencies

[civic axle]

so i see in the smapi log that few mods that cant be loaded, yet i can find em in the vortex mod managfer for some reason...

[cedar lark]

vortex tends to eat files when updating them from what i understand

[civic axle]

all i wanted it to play lol, so much headache

[cedar lark]

tbh once you get used to it, adding and updating mods isn't that hard

add folder to mods folder to add

delete old folder and add updated folder to update

[civic axle]

true, but i start to being sceptycal towards smapi logs

[cedar lark]

just gotta remember config files

those get deleted as well if you don't remember to pull them out

[civic axle]

it says multiple mods are ouitdated and provides links, and those links are the ones i used to download the mods..

[cedar lark]

or you can just re edit them after updating them

which mod are you talking about?

[civic axle]

yeah i restart the game to see if logs got changed

[obsidian gazelle]

Hello! Could I get the latest version of smapi for mobile please?

[civic axle]

[SMAPI] You can update 5 mods:

[SMAPI] PelicanFiber 3.1.1-unofficial.11-strobe: https://smapi.io/mods#Pelican_Fiber

[SMAPI] Wind Effects 1.0.3-unofficial.1-strobe: https://smapi.io/mods#Wind_Effects

pretty much all much all of em

[cedar lark]

shiko festival and spouse room aren't out of date

you're missing a dependency mod

tmxl map toolkit

[civic axle]

oh damn

that looks better

https://smapi.io/log/95e25f121ae646569c2f252dfa9d7689

[cedar lark]

pelican fiber is out of date though

[civic axle]

i download that rmxl map though

[cedar lark]

your better crafting mod is broken now

[civic axle]

i removed it

[cedar lark]

its still registering in smapi

did you delete the entire folder?

[civic axle]

is there command to delete it in smapi cmd?

deleted from vortex, need to check eplorer

[cedar lark]

ah its in the save data...

[civic axle]

thats it then...

[cedar lark]

again with vortex it's hard to troubleshoot since its not the friendliest

I'm not super experienced with all the issues that come up

BetterCrafting\savedata\categories because it contains files, but none of them are manifest.json.

[cedar lark]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Android

should be in there

[shy orbit]

if you don't mean to continue to use vortex, it's probably easiest to clear the whole mods folder and start from the beginning (including reinstalling smapi)

[civic axle]

where do i find bettercrafting at? the folder was removed from the mods.

afraid of messing up the save

[cedar lark]

It won't

Well as long as you reinstall all the old mods again

[civic axle]

its like 40 mods though...

removal of the vortex and leaving mods folders will not work?

[cedar lark]

That I'm not sure because I never used vortex

!vortex

Worth a shot

[shy orbit]

you can try. you'll see from the log what it's loading

[civic axle]

doesnt look like there anything fromt he vortex in each mod folder, there is few files in root of mods, thats pretty much it

[cedar lark]

And you can also try that other mod manager if you want

[civic axle]

might work

[shy orbit]

any problems are easier to solve when vortex isn't involved anyway

[cedar lark]

Stardrop

But again I've always done things manually myself

[civic axle]

well crafting tab work as itneded now

so that solved lol

[cedar lark]

Also I'm pretty sure Nexus saves what mods you downloaded in a list

So you can have that as a reference

[analog meteor]

yo @cedar lark, what mods do you have?

[cedar lark]

Around 50 or so

[analog meteor]

but which ones

[cedar lark]

I'll pull up a log when I can

[analog meteor]

im curious

[cedar lark]

I recently added a bunch of PPJA mods

[analog meteor]

i dont know which ones those are

[cedar lark]

https://mouseypounds.github.io/ppja-ref/

Project Populate Json Assets

[analog meteor]

i think im going to snag a few of your mods lol

[cedar lark]

If you do just make sure you grab all the dependencies

[analog meteor]

yea now i remind myself to check the requiraments

[cedar lark]

https://smapi.io/log/58f6140898654be0abb189d0e1c51af5

[analog meteor]

thanks i snagged about 20 mods lmao, i have about 70 now thanks

[cedar lark]

np

[errant hornet]

( In #modded-stardew, I will give a link for even more mods to give you guys 😆 Only if you want, of course)

[molten tinsel]

Is there a mod like Walk Through Trellis, but specifically for scarecrows and sprinklers?

[cedar lark]

not sure myself but you could also ask in #modded-stardew and see if they know

[floral dew]

I have a question fkr the seasonal npc outfits mod, hlw do i make the portraits work? Like the outfits load on the character, but is just the regular portrait

[cedar lark]

Not sure which exact mode you're talking about

I know a lot of people use DSV

[floral dew]

Gotcha, all mine says is cp seasonal npc outfits so ill look for the other one than thank you

[clear eagle]

DSV is the most popular one here

Diverse Stardew Valley

Lots of modlists here!

[quiet night]

oh yes yes

i had it pinned on my bookmark hahaha

[hearty jasper]

Hi, I have a question about playing with mods on android mobile. I downloaded the SMAPI installer, but when I try to install, it says "Error - Can't find the Stardew Valley's apk, did you install it?" I absolutely have it installed, but through the google play store, has anyone had the same problem or know what to do about it?

[dire fractal]

https://github.com/ZaneYork/SMAPI-Android-Installer/releases did you download this?

[hearty jasper]

Yes, that's the one!

[hearty jasper]

(sorry, forgot to use proper reply:) Yes, that's the installer I got!

[dire fractal]

If you followed the installation guide it should work, especially since it's the Google Playstore version. Maybe try reinstalling the game?

[hardy edge]

hello does anyone have any good mod manager cuz im losing my mind

i have over 200 mods and im getting violent with figuring out what doesn't work with what

[solemn hawk]

generally mod managers seem to cause more issues than they're worth with stardew; most modders will recommend doing things manually to avoid problems. vortex definitely causes issues, possibly the moddrop one does too but i can't say for sure.

[hardy edge]

oh okay

ty ty

[solemn hawk]

that said, if you have specific issues/errors feel free to ask abt them! be sure to post smapi logs w the errors, there's lots of knowledgeable folks here who can help

[hearty jasper]

Thanks! I'll try that!

[hardy edge]

oh yeah i gen forgot that was an option 😭

https://smapi.io/log/5c58261a17f04403862342e65c9330d3

i know what some of the issues are caused by but on my modlist there are some mods i unistalled

but they are still there

[solemn hawk]

hm so which mods are you no longer using?

because most of those errors are just missing mods

[hardy edge]

the more hair mod

uhh theres some automate related mods which im pretty sure are no longer in my mods folder

[solemn hawk]

and are you currently using a mod manager? or doing it manually?

[hardy edge]

manually

ive never used any mod manager

[solemn hawk]

"Two content packs want to load the 'Characters/Farmer/hairstyles' asset (Female Farmer Overhaul and More Hairstyles). Neither will be applied. You should remove one of the content packs, or ask the authors about compatibility." - so it's definitely still finding the more hairstyles mod in your folder, you're sure it's completely gone?

[hardy edge]

Yes

I was thinking about reinstalling it because maybe it messed with some of Hair files in the Farmer folder but I wasn't sure

if it would help

[shy orbit]

you're missing some required mods, and if you check the red messages at the top of the log you can see what they are, for example SVE isn't loading correctly: Stardew Valley Expanded Music 1.14.8 because it requires mods which aren't installed (ZeroMeters.SAAT.Mod)

[hardy edge]

I'm installing missing mods right now, I'll check the log in a second to figure out what causes more problems

[shy orbit]

the two mods that try to load the hairstyles asset are loaded from these folders: Mods\[CP] Indie's Female Farmer Overhaul, Mods\[CP] Pencilstab's Hair

[hardy edge]

all the time I was searching for a folder named More Hair 😭

tysm

[solemn hawk]

glad you found it!!

[hardy edge]

thank you guys very much for help

wait what

what did I do wrong

[solemn hawk]

[shy orbit]

that Changes to other mods folder is from garden village probably? if so, you're supposed to overwrite the original mod files with the GV files (but they might be outdated)

[hardy edge]

https://smapi.io/log/aa32b4ae387542e88f0d7502ba340fa6

[hardy edge]

so should I delete the changes to other mods?

[shy orbit]

you might as well, it won't do anything in the Mods folder

except cause red messages on the log

[hardy edge]

alright lets see what will happen

[spare basin]

Hello,
I don't know if I'm in the right place... In my collection (shipped items) I have to find alpaca fur, but I don't know where to find it. I don't believe I have a mod that adds animals. Do you know where I can find this fur?
Thank you

[late nebula]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[hardy edge]

the red errors are gone :DD

[shy orbit]

PPJA Fresh Meat adds Alpaca Fell (an additional harvest drop from the alpaca meat plant)

[spare basin]

Thank you, and do you know how I get it? with a specific machine?

[shy orbit]

it's a summer crop, the seeds are probably at pierre by default, but not sure about that (it also needs multi yield crop mod installed)

then the plant has a chance of giving them at harvest

[spare basin]

oh, ok thank you so much

[hardy edge]

- Part of the Community 1.1.6-3 because its DLL 'PartOfTheCommunity.dll' doesn't exist.
what does it mean

?

[torpid fox]

Hmm, looks like the files aren't complete, maybe try redownloading

the .dll is essential for loading in the mod

[hardy edge]

I did, even after the reinstall it's still like that

[torpid fox]

[hardy edge]

Is it possible for some other mod to block it?

[torpid fox]

Unlikely

[hardy edge]

Smapi doesn't say anything ab it :((

only that it's missing the file

[torpid fox]

Can you look inside your Part of the Community folder?

to check if the dll file is there

[hardy edge]

It's not there

[late nebula]

It is

Middle file

[hardy edge]

oh

i missed it sorry

but why isn't it working then?

[torpid fox]

Try moving the folder under Mods i.e. in the root folder

[late nebula]

Not 100% sure. You could try changing the folder name to something shorter too if what Amaryn suggested doesn't work. There is a limit to how long file paths can be.

[torpid fox]

^^

[hardy edge]

ok ty ill try this

[shy orbit]

isn't it already in the Mods folder though?

[vagrant wigeon]

so my mods folder should be in the Stardewdew forlder made by steam but not in the content one"

?

[late nebula]

Yeah but the path name is really long

[late nebula]

Yes

[torpid fox]

Like, put it so that it's Mods/PartofTheCommunity

sometimes SMAPI harmony-based(?) mods need to be directly under Mods

iirc

[hardy edge]

But it is in the PartofTheCommunity folder

or am I not understanding something?

[shy orbit]

!log if you send this we can check

[native dragon]

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

[late nebula]

This is probably too long of a folder name.

So put it in Mods.

Directly

Or change that to something shorter

(This is probably our best guess as to why it isn't working)

[shy orbit]

i think it's just that for whatever reason the game can't access the file, might be because of windows defender acting up or whatever, but just deleting it and reinstalling might fix it

[late nebula]

Sometimes that too

[hardy edge]

it says in polish "results from searching in the folder mods" it's not the folder's name, sorry for the misleading

cuz i was searching for it cuz i have a lot of mods

[late nebula]

Ah okay

[hardy edge]

the folders name is just Mods

[late nebula]

Okay so other options are trying to reinstall like Vibel said

Or changing to folder name to something short like "PotC"

[hardy edge]

Alright

[late nebula]

If anything works, make sure to let us know cause this issue has come up with this mod a few times for whatever reason x_x

[hardy edge]

okay!

[past abyss]

hi everyone! i've been trying to deal with adding GH peach body type on my game and im ?_? if someone could guide this poor dumbass id be eternally grateful

[finite linden]

I've been directed here to see if any of you know of mods that tend to cause stuttering. It is happening in my game and rather annoying.

[solemn hawk]

i know pytk and any mods that use it to add higher res images tend to increase load times and maybe stuttering, at least in my experience

[late nebula]

Automate machines too

[steady falcon]

(this is super late sorry) but whenever i go to play in my world they just don't work for example with the scythe mod i would go and try it out and it wouldn't work

[finite linden]

I do have a couple PYTK mods still but not many. What about things that change characters clothing like DSV?

[late nebula]

It can too

[dusky canyon]

updating your mods (such as ES, RSV) will help a lot (since that removes the dependency on PYTK). Also removing buildables mods (from TMX)

[finite linden]

they are all updated. buildables.. will have to look into those

[late nebula]

Spritemaster also causes some weird stuttering for me as well. Still need to see if I can fix that by messing with the config options.

[finite linden]

not sure exactly what buildables means. I don't have spritemaster.

[clear eagle]

But do other things appear/work? Like SVE, Skull Cavern Elevator, etc?

[dusky canyon]

these kind of things :P

[steady falcon]

no not at all ☹️

[solemn hawk]

i found that lux's food mod and dcburger's portrait mod, which both use pytk, were very performance-heavy, those two can def cause long loads and stuttering. dsv was fine for me tho so ymmv

[late nebula]

I'm not really familiar with the mod, but you may want to link it so people can find it.

[finite linden]

hmm, none of those mods. the only mods I have that use PYTK or TMX are a couple of custom NPCs

I think.. will check though

[clear eagle]

Weird, can I get a log after you launch StardewModdingAPI.exe and spend a few minutes ingame (like load a save and walk around places maybe?)

[past abyss]

https://blog.naver.com/codnjsdl8235/222238460976
Here! it's in korean, it tells me to replace the farmer base file but im left with the bald one and my game just doesnt like that

[late nebula]

Oh it's an xnb mod

[solemn hawk]

hm yeah is there a cp version of it anywhere? because generally you should avoid xnb mods that make direct changes to the game files

this maybe? https://blog.naver.com/PostView.naver?blogId=codnjsdl8235&logNo=222314151470&parentCategoryNo=&categoryNo=1&viewDate=&isShowPopularPosts=false&from=postList

looks like it's a cp version of the peach body, with all the options available through gmcm

[lavish marlin]

D:

[hoary bane]

Did you get the cp version?

[lavish marlin]

I get a lot of weird stuttering with or without SM.

[hoary bane]

Oops didn't scroll up

[hoary bane]

!xnbzola

[native dragon]

@past abyss An XNB mod replaces some of your game's .xnb files to change the game (unlike newer mods that go in your Mods folder). This is an older type of mod that's no longer recommended, and can cause a number of issues. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods for help using them (and a list of alternatives using Content Patcher), and https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Editing_XNB_files for help unpacking & editing them (including for use with Content Patcher).
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/156109690059751424/575085766426886145/ZolasFury.png

[hoary bane]

Sounds like you've already replaced your game files, delete that and verify files in steam to get those back that's how you do it right? then pick the cp ones.

!reset

[native dragon]

See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files for instructions on resetting your game files! (This doesn't affect your save files.) You may also want to check this list of XNB > Content Patcher conversions (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods#Alternatives_using_Content_Patcher) to see if there are already replacements for any XNB mods you may have been using :)

[past abyss]

I have not replaced my game files

also cp?

oh

there is no CP version of that mod I don't believe

[dapper atlas]

Hi! I am playing Stardew on PC using the Xbox app. How can I get SMAPI to work on it?

[fading blade]

Help! can someone explain it to me?and what should i do?

I already have CP v1.19 and still not working

[shy orbit]

it's a mistake in the mod, the mod folder has a content.json file that has a line that reads "Format": "1.23.0",, the 1.23.0 needs to be changed to 1.19.0 (the mod might still not work if it uses features that need newer format version, but you can try at least)

[late nebula]

!gettingstarted there are instructions for the xbox app at some point in this

[native dragon]

@dapper atlas 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

[fading blade]

Ahhmmmm. . . .

[fading blade]

Is this what you talk about?

[late nebula]

Yep

[fading blade]

Hmmm ok, i will try

Thnks for responding

Finally it's working...thanks again

[lavish marlin]

@late nebula if SM is causing the hitches, it's probably related to either the texture cache or the suspended cache

[late nebula]

Okie, I'll look there first when I get around to poking at it.

[lavish marlin]

If SM isn't causing it, don't turn those off because they're meant to help hitching :\

[late nebula]

Yeah

[safe veldt]

Does anyone know how to change the code of the tractor so that I can harvest the roe from the fish ponds with the golden scythe?

or just the scythe in general.? I can't collect from the ponds with either scythe

[restive basalt]

Is stardew valley expanded avaible for android

[solemn hawk]

according to the sve wiki, "Due to the delay of the 1.5 release of Stardew Valley for mobile users, the most recent working version for mobile is 1.11.6. It is available for download at ModDrop under the Download/See all versions dropdown menu. Grandpa's Farm is also not available on mobile at this time."

[upper heart]

Anyone can explain me how to even mod on mobile? The only files that can be found about the game are the farms.

[crimson lichen]

are you on android?

[upper heart]

Correct

[solemn hawk]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Android

[restive basalt]

Can you send a link

[solemn hawk]

didn't mean to send that as a reply to chickadee, sorry

[solemn hawk]

here's the wiki: https://stardew-valley-expanded.fandom.com/wiki/Stardew_Valley_Expanded_Wiki
and here's the moddrop page they're referring to in that quote: https://www.moddrop.com/stardew-valley/mods/833179-stardew-valley-expanded

[restive basalt]

Thanks

[safe veldt]

Does anyone here use the tractor mod and know how to change to config file so that I can collect from the fish ponds on the tractor while having the hoe equipped?

[upper heart]

Is there a time stop mod?

[neat plaza]

yes

[gaunt gust]

I'd recommend TimeSpeed

[safe veldt]

yes CJB cheats

[upper heart]

I have downloaded this app, now I think I have to find mods from outside of it (no clue)

Do i have to download the mods from the browser or does this app have a way to install them

[neat plaza]

browser

[upper heart]

Okay.. Let me see... Btw ty y'all for help hope It works

[solemn hawk]

you can browse the nexus for mods but you specifically want to look for those that are compatible w android, they should be tagged "works with android 1.4 release"; https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/?tags_yes[]=3083&BH=0

[upper heart]

I have downloaded the NPCMapLocation mod, how do I make the app see it? Do I have to go Into the files?

Yes, when I downloaded the mod I choose the SMAPI app

The mod is android compatible

It just doesn't work apparently, maybe it doesn't like me

[keen gyro]

Hi everyone, I posted in the wrong channel. my bad.

Ive been having issues with a stutter every 5-15 seconds.

I think i may have stumbled onto a solution i wanted to share.

I play on PC with a controller with the latest SMAPI installed.

I tried all the basics, uninstalled smapi and mods, and rebooted. Did the control panel priorty settings and affinity CPU 0 uncheck all with no luck.

When I launched SDV with SMAPI and mods reinstalled, I had FORGOTTEN to plug in my controller and noticed the game is running fine.

I just tested and found that conversely, when the controller was plugged in first and then launched SDV, the lag returned.

I feel this may be an issue with big picture mode, which I went ahead and disabled on my end and have not had any issues since.

Not sure how many other people are getting any stuttering issues, but I have also not played since like 1.2 or something.

Please feel free to share this as needed

[lavish marlin]

I need to add a new stats monitor to try to properly debug these things. I'm not sure if it's in scope for this version though.

[supple hound]

PPJA DGA is obviously broken, but I cannot figure out what is going on with PPJA in general. paradigmnomad came out of retirement to update it to DGA (with a script) and then left a message saying that pathoschild will take over maintaining it. I checked GitHub, the last commit was in October of last year and it is still broken. Is someone actually maintaining ppja and is planning on fixing the DGA version? All I can find online is messages from people saying "do not use the dga version" but no one seems to know what is going on long term with the project. I figure that 1.6 will probably affect DGA quite a lot, is that what is making people hesitate to update it?

[lament prairie]

Honestly, I'm not sure

I would just use the latest JA versions

[supple hound]

I also checked, and pathoschild has never made a single commit to PPJA. Could be it's being done somewhere else (perhaps not even open sourced) but the behaviour does not seem to check out with the note left by paradigmnomad.

[lament prairie]

You'd have to ask Pathos about that, probably

[supple hound]

@tired brook Could you help? Are you maintaining, or will you be maintaining the PPJA suite? If not, do you know who is the maintainer, if anyone?

[lavish marlin]

Most of @tired brook's changes on stuff are made in his own forks.

[supple hound]

I figured that, but I could not find a fork by @tired brook of PPJA.

[lament prairie]

we don't need to ping him 3 times in a row...

you can just write his name after the first ping

[supple hound]

Apologies.

[lament prairie]

He will get back to you eventually

(He does check his ping list)

[cedar lark]

I've been using a bunch of PPJA mods with no problems. I'll have to scroll up to see what's wrong

[tired brook]

I'm not actively maintaining PPJA yet. I'll be looking into rewriting & updating it when the next major game update is released though, since it'll allow adding most items without needing a framework like DGA.

[cedar lark]

I can't imagine how many mods you're currently working on now

[analog meteor]

anyone know why my game wont continue, i bought a town school and Robin invited me to the inaguration and now its bugged

[dusky canyon]

which town school mod is that? I believe there are a couple

[neat plaza]

oh thats where it goes

[neat plaza]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[cedar lark]

Just looking at building placement it's conflicting with stardew Valley expanded

[analog meteor]

Its this version

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6317

[analog meteor]

ffs this grandpa farm is really messing up my farm, Pam's house is also half gone

[cedar lark]

Grandpa's farm should only affect your Farm area

[dusky canyon]

I see a lot of comments about it not being compatible with SVE- so that may be the problem

@ Dip

[cedar lark]

And the only time I saw Pam's house half gone was in a multiplayer setting

[analog meteor]

then idk Pam's house is half gone lmao

[cedar lark]

But you were also installed a lot of mods mid save

[analog meteor]

they should update the mods imo, they conflict with the world

[cedar lark]

Which can cause issues

[analog meteor]

true true that could have done it

[cedar lark]

You can't expect a developer to try to make their mod compatible with every other mod

[analog meteor]

do you think theres a way to get half her house back?

[cedar lark]

I'm not sure, try relaunching the game

That fixes it for me in a multiplayer setting

[analog meteor]

Yeah ig thats true seeing as i have over 70 mods in this little world

[cedar lark]

Most mod developers that add new stuff tend to make new Maps entirely for them

Like East scarp

[analog meteor]

Yh i reloaded my sdv and everything seems normal, but i need to check town square

[lament prairie]

that's kind of an unreasonable expectation

[analog meteor]

You cant even download more than one farm map :{

[cedar lark]

That's true

But there are several expansion class for lack of a better word that can be added together

Expanded, East scarp, and there's another one that starts with an r

From what I understand they can all be added together

[lament prairie]

Ridgeside Village

[cedar lark]

That's it thank you

[analog meteor]

It'd be great if they let us get into the city and maybe expand the big land east of the town

[lament prairie]

You can only have one farm, I never have understood why people want multiple farm maps

[analog meteor]

Damn i might look into it

[cedar lark]

Well stardew Valley expanded does let you have two additional Farm areas

Without going into spoilers anyways

[lament prairie]

Yeah, there are mods that make other places farmable

But in terms of the technical side, you only get one farm type

[analog meteor]

i like the idea to have more than one farm map, so you can grow way more and have more space for barns and such

[lament prairie]

Right now there are some technical locations

[analog meteor]

Ginger Island?

[cedar lark]

No that's vanilla

[lament prairie]

Maybe after the update that adds modding quality of life things for mod authors

[analog meteor]

Oh, ig i dont have the other place

[cedar lark]

Aurora Vineyard

And stardew Valley expanded also has an additional file that makes a gigantic map on the right side usable

I'm not at my computer so I can't look up everything right now

[analog meteor]

OHHH AURORA VINEYARD

now i remember

[cedar lark]

It's part of a mid to late game questline

[analog meteor]

yea it'd be great if you have that bigass lot be seasonal and grow whatever you like there at whatever time (except winter ofc)

[cedar lark]

Ppja has winter crops btw

[analog meteor]

whats Ppja?

Pieres shop?

[cedar lark]

It's Grampleton fields by the way

[cedar lark]

No

[analog meteor]

OHH okay yeah i get it now

[cedar lark]

Various mods that add a bunch of Json Assets

I linked it to you yesterday

[analog meteor]

Yea is it the field on Ginger Island?

[cedar lark]

It's also in my mod list you wanted

[cedar lark]

No

[analog meteor]

ffs il look it up in a minute

[analog meteor]

Oh the lot thats east of the town next to the Meseum right?

[cedar lark]

No that's a different lot

[analog meteor]

oh

[cedar lark]

https://stardew-valley-expanded.fandom.com/wiki/Grampleton_Fields

There's an image of how big it is

[analog meteor]

fvck my game still freezes when i go into town for the school

[analog meteor]

the wizard tower is still unavailable right?

[cedar lark]

On this map? I don't know I don't use it

[analog meteor]

i think i may have messed up my game entirely

i cant go into town because of this school cutscene

is there a way to fix this?

[cedar lark]

You can try removing the mod

Not sure if it's already added stuff that might cause issues though

[analog meteor]

I already went through the other cutscenes/diolouge i think that if i uninstall the mod it may currupt diolouge and maybe the story

but im not sure

[cedar lark]

Well you can always try it

If there is issues don't save

[cursive crag]

I added and removed that mod no issue when I saw how it affected the map

[cedar lark]

Just quit the game instead
