[willow creek]

so whenever u click it the scale changes?

[worthy sundial]

i'm sorry for the ping but you may know what's going on
@tired brook

[vivid oar]

I have to admit I'm way too lazy to go through the bother
Could probably find a way with enough googling

[willow creek]

yeah

[flint matrix]

i dont know why i didnt think of this before but im testing it without having wallpaper engine running
i can easily see why it would cause fps issues

[tired brook]

I know ginger island in particular has some extra tilesheets, not sure about the desert. If the recolors are seasonal, note that the island/desert might be hardcoding summer_ instead of {{season}}_. If this is a mod you're creating though, #making-mods-general would be the best place to ask.

[willow creek]

live wallpapers can cause fps losses

[flint matrix]

who wouldve thought lol

[willow creek]

in my old potato pc it even lagged out gta sa while using a live wallpaper

[tired brook]

Normally you only need to override it once; not sure why the suggested fixes on the wiki don't work in your case unfortunately.

@vivid oar Can you post a screenshot of your DPI settings for both .exe files?

[willow creek]

well running a max resolution video all the time causes some fps losses

[vivid oar]

Advanced DPI settings ?

[flint matrix]

ok yea that seems to be my main issue

[tired brook]

Yep, the Properties > Compatibility > Change High DPI Settings view.

[vivid oar]

And quick question
I suppose .zip files dont work for mods, I'd need to extract everything I download ?

[worthy sundial]

its not my mod
but ill look into it

[flint matrix]

still doesnt like running fullscreen at 80% zoom but thats probably just because of all the stuff loaded
my computer is older than the game so im not surprised it doesnt like running mods very well lol

[vivid oar]

@tired brook there you go

crap, didn't copy correctly the last one

[lament prairie]

Yes

[tired brook]

And enabling the "High DPI scaling override" option for StardewModdingAPI.exe doesn't make any difference?

[vivid oar]

Yeah
I can try again if you want me to make sure of it

[rancid prawn]

what is the ID for money?

just wondering... ;3

[robust bison]

money doesn't have an id

[rancid prawn]

.-.

[robust bison]

you can use cjb cheats to give yourself more money

[vivid oar]

@tired brook Nevermind, I must have somehow done it incorrectly the last time
I've just launched SMAPI with the "High DPI scaling override" set to Application, and the scale is just fine

So, the problem was between the screen and the chair this whole time

[worthy sundial]

the file for the recolor is shown in the mod's files and is set to be loaded in the content.json, but it doesn't load in?

[tired brook]

No worries, glad it's working now!

[vivid oar]

Yeah, same here !
I'm so glad to finally be able to play with the mods I'd been eyeing for a while now ^^

[lament prairie]

Could be two conflicting recolors

[mental quail]

I'm having a strange issue with Dryads of the Valley for AT

I was able to switch it to another dryad option in the menu that showed up

so I went to the island and it auto changed some of my existing trees

I tried to use the paint bucket on one and the farmer was hitting it with the scepter as if it were a hoe

shook the "fruit" off but it was 3 grey rectangles

with the tooltip, banana

https://smapi.io/log/b06cd139d53f484886f9782809b6f1ff

the errors at the end are unrelated - I tried using the spray can but I don't have any mods that use that tool yet

[ornate tide]

like this?

[ornate tide]

sorry meant to reply to this^

[mental quail]

no, the rectangles were longer and vertical

like they were bananas falling to the ground but a box instead. there were 3

it wasn't 2 squares spinning like it was "working"

I went back to the farm then warped back to the island and was able to use the paint bucket on that banana tree to change it into a dryad. only 1 of the 3 dryad options worked. like in my greenhouse, the other 2 showed up as the grey

oh I forgot to include the island screenshot

Hey, can I get Fangamer's Guide Book 1.5 for free as a pdf and where?

[late nebula]

What you're talking about is piracy and we can't promote or discuss it.

[rancid prawn]

is it safe to remove the characters and portraits from SVE mod

I have a compatibility issue, and was wondering

[late nebula]

It would probably break it.

I would try to make the other mod compatible instead.

[rancid prawn]

uhm

I have no clue how to do that

[late nebula]

Or just don't use SVE.

[rancid prawn]

uhm

nearly 80% of my mods require SVE

let me put it this way

[late nebula]

You could try to contact the author and see if they'll make it compatible?

[mental quail]

what mod is it?

[rancid prawn]

I have the SVE characters and portraits, and another mod's versions of them. SMAPI doesn't know which to use, so it cancels both out

its the.. hang on

'Anthro Characters Continued 1.5'

.-.

[late nebula]

If someone made a mod for the SVE characters, the onus is definitely on the author to ensure that it's compatible.

(If they're still active)

[ornate tide]

there seems to be an issue with fruit trees with alternative textures. I tested out the dryad mod myself and renamed texture.png to texture_0.png and that seemed to work

I havent tested the fruit thing yet

[onyx light]

Has anyone had an issue where the item underneath the cursor immediately gets added to the chest at the time of opening the chest?

[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]

Not even gonna try to read that

[rancid prawn]

yeah, the author of the mod has only made that mod

[mental quail]

would it hiccup for just some trees and not all of them? since they all appear to be texture.png

[ornate tide]

all of the trees 2nd texture variant is broken, so if you only use the first one you wouldnt need to rename it

I mean 1st in the paint bucket menu

[mental quail]

I looked at the Nexus description - there's a link there to a patch for SVE

[ornate tide]

maybe convenient chests? I dont use it myself so I wouldnt know, but if you remove it, does the issue go away?

[mental quail]

a line or two above the image of what the characters will look like

oh ok, thanks for fiddling with it to get it workable

[ancient gale]

Is there a way to get Lumisteria's flower and plant set items to go on tables? They turn invisible when I try, but Lumisteria said it was an issue with Custom Furniture, which is known to be buggy

[gaunt gust]

don't put them on cf tables. (DGA tables or vanilla tables should be fine)

[ancient gale]

I tried with a default table but it didn’t work either, that said, it was default but I have the mod that lets you change between textures, so it may still be considered modded

[rancid prawn]

I have a mod called 'Free Love' which allows me to change the amount of gifts I can give a single person per day and per week.. but for some reason it stays to default even when I changed it...

[gaunt gust]

Hum, are you using the dga version? The dga version should work on dga and vanilla tables

[rancid prawn]

and the log doesn't show any errors..

[ancient gale]

Possibly? What does that stand for again? And if I’m not it sounds better

[lament prairie]

!dga

[native dragon]

Dynamic Game Assets (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9365) is a mod which lets content packs and other mods add custom content like crops, trees, weapons, etc. See the mod description for details.

If you're making custom content, ask mod authors in #making-mods-general about whether using Json Assets (!ja) would be more suitable instead.

[ancient gale]

Okay I definitely have Json assets instead since I needed it for Stardew Valley expanded

[gaunt gust]

you can use dga and ja together as long as you don't use dga shirts and ja shirts together. don't know why it's shirts.

(I tend to use dga furniture and ja everything else)

[glass pendant]

Can someone help me with MAC mods please

This is copied from my reddit post

My cousin and I would like to play stardew valley expanded on his mac, and we have SMAPI installed. However when we download a mod and put it in the mod file then run the game, it still only says 3 mods running (ConsoleCommands, SaveBackup and ErrorHandler) how come it isnt reading this file?

[ornate tide]

Did you unzip the mod?

[glass pendant]

Thats the thing, when we download it, theres not an option to unzip it

[lament prairie]

screenshot your mod folder

Although with the path to it

[glass pendant]

one second he has a non mac keyboard with the mac we're tryna figure out how to screenshot

[lament prairie]

command shift 3 or 4

3 for the whole screen

4 for a segment

[glass pendant]

whats the command button on a non mac keyboard

[lament prairie]

try the windows one maybe??

[glass pendant]

yes thats it tyty

[lament prairie]

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/take-a-screenshot-or-screen-recording-mh26782/mac

[glass pendant]

sorry we're new to the whole mac thing

[lament prairie]

np, you can also rebind the screenshot command via system preferences

[glass pendant]

ok so we just figured out hes been putting it in the wrong mods folder

i saw another one

and said put it in that one

im so sorry

lmaoooo

[lament prairie]

Yeah, that's a common issue, no worries

[topaz olive]

hey i was using Smapi and for some reason it only loades three of my mods and i don't know wich

thank youy anyways tho!

i screwed up

I had the multiple spouse mod that had a child aging multiplier and a child to npc mod and it screwed up since i had the multiplier way too high
And now i can't locate my kid anywhereeee and it says that i don't even know it's name and then i checked it in the vanilla game it says i don't have a kid but i can see it glitched in a corner
The best idea i can come up with to fix it is just to make it a dove but though to should ask here first if anyone had any ideas lmaoo

have they fixed common bugs with mods in multiplayer?

like people other than the host not being able to marry npcs

[dire fractal]

anyone downloaded multiple weapon mods and it overwrite another mod's weapons looks? in there any fix if i want mod "A's" looks but it got overwrite to mod "B's"

like, u download mod A and bought a weapon, then download mod B and the texture got overwriten

[topaz olive]

someone please help me

[ornate tide]

send a pic of your mod folder

[ornate tide]

you can try and add a false dependency to mod a's manifest

[ornate tide]

also that seems like a weird bug, did the farmhand ever upgrade their cabin?

[dire fractal]

how do i do that?

[lament prairie]

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

[topaz olive]

k i'm there

[ornate tide]

a false dependency is like this, you would add this to mod a's manifest (or the mod you want to overwrite the other). The unique id of mod b can be found in it's manifest.json https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Manifest#Dependencies (you can look at the wiki too)
"Dependencies": [
{
"UniqueID": "mod b unique id",
"IsRequired": false,
}
]

[lament prairie]

!loadorder

[native dragon]

When two mods both edit dialogue or images, whichever mod loads last "wins" and is the one you see in the game. In order to change the load order of mods, you can add false dependencies, see here for details: https://stardewmodding.miraheze.org/wiki/Tutorial:_How_to_Add_a_False_Dependency_for_Load_Orders

[dire fractal]

thanks alot!

[topaz olive]

what do i do next?

[lament prairie]

unzip your mods and put them there

I'm guessing you either did not unzip them or did not put them there

if you think you did, try reloading the game

if that doesn't work, screenshot that folder

[ancient gale]

Since I replaced the Lumisteria mods with DGA, I don't think I use PyTK anymore. Is there a way to uninstall it safely? I fear it may be causing the pride banner mod and some of the flowers not to show up in the shop (The flowers stopped after 13)

[lament prairie]

Hmm, that should not be the case

As long as you don't have any PyTK mods you can just remove it

But which flower isn't showing up and which day is it?

[ancient gale]

Will do, I figure it glitched since I had the old flowers in my room and they turned back into chairs. I believe it was a wednesday

[lament prairie]

Ah yeah you should remove those items

And trash them

[ancient gale]

Did so, here is my log just in case, but I think this may just be user error? If that would cause them not to show anyway

[gaunt gust]

as for dga items showing up in the store one day off - known bug, fixed in next version

(ie, a flower slated for Tuesday might show up Wednesday instead)

[ancient gale]

Oh, I just installed it. Did I somehow get the wrong version?

[gaunt gust]

much thanks to Elizabeth here for that PR

[ancient gale]

I had admittedly assumed these were always in stock, so probably just user error

[gaunt gust]

nah, open PR, the fix isn't released yet

[ancient gale]

Ahhhh

[topaz olive]

i did unzip them and all though i will send you a screenshot

[dire fractal]

sorry but what do i do here? https://smapi.io/json/manifest/270d87ea3d564ce49c2be3c832cad1d8

[ornate tide]

you can just remove the minimum game version line

[white zephyr]

Hello, I am having a strange issue. I am getting letters in the mail from girls in the village asking me to stop by their place around "x" time, but when I go to their home at the mentioned time, nothing happens. I've been stopping by their homes every game day and nothing happens.

Smapi logs attached, thanks for the help!!

https://smapi.io/log/c00f877052104db38c5d6269106ce245

[gaunt gust]

minimum game version isn't a thing - smapi versions are for specific versions of the game, so just pick a smapi version that make sense

[rancid prawn]

how exactly do I use commands to edit relationship levels?

[lament prairie]

I have the different flowers being sold at different times to reduce the scrolling in Robin's shop

[lament prairie]

Banners are sold on Fridays, which might be Saturdays actually until that bug gets fixed

[lament prairie]

debug friendship NAME NUMBER

in this case I think debug friendship Wizard 1000

[rancid prawn]

it said 'Sent debug to game, but there was no output'

[lament prairie]

yeah that's the normal response if the game doesn't send anything back

check if you can get to the wizard's basement

[rancid prawn]

yeah it worked

ty

[faint ferry]

so i have east scarp downloaded and I want to uninstall it, but I currently have a special order quest in my quest list that is part of the mod. would it cause issues if i uninstalled it now, or should i wait until the special order expires?

[ancient gale]

Ah, I guess that changed from the other version, thank you for telling me!

[lament prairie]

CF really had almost no options in terms of where and when to sell furniture, DGA is much more flexible

[lament prairie]

Remove the special order before uninstalling

It probably won't crash but it will look very odd

[faint ferry]

is there a way to do that besides waiting it out?

[ancient gale]

Now I don’t even need custom furniture which is great because it was odd to use

[gaunt gust]

what do you need for it? Just spawn in the items or something 😛

[faint ferry]

i have to kill crabs or something so i dont think that's an option LOL

[lament prairie]

CJB cheats lets you cancel it

[topaz olive]

pls help me out

[faint ferry]

are your mods in the mod folder?

[topaz olive]

yes-eth

wait do i have to put the mods in the SMAPI folder that is in my mods folder?

[lament prairie]

Okay, which folder is that in?

[plucky oyster]

Rediercting. Howdy, howdy again! I have a modded Stardew Valley issue via Mac that I don't quite understand, can someone explain to me what it means using the Terminal and needing: (FlashShifter.StardewValleyExpandedCP)

[ornate tide]

you dont have the [CP] Stardew Valley expanded folder in your mods, reinstall sve

[topaz olive]

So I have a mods folder, and in that folder is a Smapi folder wich is empty for some reason

[ornate tide]

can you screenshot your mods folder? with path

[dusky canyon]

why is SMAPI inside your Mods folder

[topaz olive]

idk how to set it up

[ornate tide]

why is your mods folder in capitals

[lament prairie]

Also your mods folder is named MODS which is a good sign it's the wrong folder

[ornate tide]

did you manually make it?

[lament prairie]

When you posted your log I sent you the path to the right folder

[topaz olive]

k so i put smapi there or do i move my mods there?

[ornate tide]

did you run the smapi installer?

[dusky canyon]

Did you read this

[topaz olive]

yes

[ornate tide]

put your mods into the mods folder from the path that elizabeth sent you

It should have 3 folders like error handler, console commands, and somethign else inside

[topaz olive]

should it look like this?

thx

[dusky canyon]

smapi still in wrong folder tho

[topaz olive]

ok

where do i put it?

[gaunt gust]

(that looks like the installer, it's fine)

[lament prairie]

The installer folder can be deleted once SMAPI is installed

But try launching the game now and see if that works

[gaunt gust]

(smapi will complain the installer isn't a mod, but nothing will break

[topaz olive]

thanks a lot i'll let you know if i run into any more problems

What happens exactly? Can't see anything wrong with the log

And why is there contents? Mods shouldn't affect the content directory at all.
Or is that some weird apple shit?

[shell trench]

i launch the game it does this and then just stops it doesnt open it

[eternal ravine]

It might take a few seconds to fully boot?

[shell trench]

i gave it a few seconds now it just does this not opening the game

[calm spindle]

Leave it open for a long time

It does look like some backup thing is running?

[eternal ravine]

few seconds.. My game needs almost a minute to boot. Admittedly I do run almost 300 mods but still

[calm spindle]

Actually this is definitely outside my area of knowledge.

Yeah it takes time

[lament prairie]

Hi, I just started moding and when I downloaded smapi, I realized that my game is much more zoomed in. how can I fix that ?

[eternal ravine]

Smapi shouldn't affect your zoom

Did you start a new game and didn't change the settings for zoom level?

[cerulean swallow]

so I wanted to test if the smapi is working and when I opened the game it was much zoomed in but I didn't check it in game

[glass pendant]

Thank you it worked!

[cerulean swallow]

ok nvm I just had to get into game and decrease the zoom to get back to normal size 🤔 😕
but how do I know that mods that I want are updated or not old

[eternal ravine]

smapi should give you a purple text ala

You can update n mods

in the console while booting the game

Which mine doesn't do for some reason after upgradeing to kubuntu 22.04

go to the display tab in the windows settings

hey everyone i was hoping I could get some help. I just started up a new world woth my friends playing modded for the first time but after about 15-20 minutes they randomly lose connection. Is there anything that I'm missing that I need to be doing?

this is the list of mods we're using

[calm spindle]

The latest SMAPI + CP beta seems to help us, then port forwarding + a direct IP connection basically solved it

We havent had a disconnect since

[rugged yarrow]

if I cant port forward should we use hamachi instead?

also what is cp?

sorry im super new to mods

[worldly mist]

help

i honestly dont care about using the mods i just want to play stardew 😭

[robust bison]

remove launch options in steam

[worldly mist]

i used that site u linked and it showed me the mods that were problematic

am i supposed to delete those and then reinstall the game?

[calm spindle]

Content Patcher, and IDK about port forwarding alternatives

So uh, I've been running into a similar multiplayer issue in several mods, specifically Ridgeside Village, SVE and Market Day so far.

Whenever terrain changes in game

Like a new SVE warp point or bridge, or an rsv boulder being cleared, or market day stall that is supposed to be cleared the next day

It doest change for the client in game, even though it changes for the host. It only changes for the client after the host restarts.

I keep reporting these as mod issues, but I'm starting to think its something more fundamental.

Would it be content patcher responsible for this sort of thing?

Or even the base game?

[cerulean swallow]

so I installed a mod and smapi didn't show any issue about it but when I get to the game I don't see the change

[unreal lotus]

I got Sleep issue on multiplayer mod

How to fix it?

[calm spindle]

You will probably have better luck in a specific community for that mod, if there is one.

But... what are those youtube things, out of curiosity?

[unreal lotus]

Idk

[unreal lotus]

Ow okee

[cerulean swallow]

does anyone have Flower valley mod link? I can't find it

nvm found it 🤭

[lament prairie]

the mobile multiplayer mod apparently adds ads for the dev who made that mod??? reportedly

it's also distributed over google drive or something

and a user came here with some rather interesting issues (possible malware??)

[calm spindle]

Always a good sign

[soft plover]

Dooes this mean I need to download "content patcher"??

This SMAPi boots up everytime I open SDV

[calm spindle]

Its what it says on the tin

[soft plover]

I have no idea what that means :")

I'm completely new to mod stuff regarding SDV

[lament prairie]

Download and install content patcher

[calm spindle]

It just means do what the log tells you to do 😛

The log is almost always right

[soft plover]

Okay thanks guys

[faint ferry]

yeah when you download a mod, make sure to check the list of mods it requires to run it!! otherwise it wont run

[soft plover]

Will do 😎

hey, im having problems installing smapi 3.14.6, when i click on the install on Windows.bat it does nothing, if i launch as admin it says the system cannot find the path specified, any help would be much appreciated

Do not install as admin

that will make uninstalling extremely annoying

[naive drum]

Have you launched the vanilla game at least once? And make sure you've extracted the whole smapi installer folder

its extracted and i reinstalled stardew, launched it and everything

[faint ferry]

okay so after you download it

you're gonna wanna launch the game

[soft plover]

Okay thats done

[faint ferry]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods[CP] Seasonal Cute Characters

then you go here and open the "config.json"

[soft plover]

Ooh okay thanky ou

[faint ferry]

yeah!

and then replace the true with false

[soft plover]

Omg I think I dont have it

[faint ferry]

have you launched the game and opened it?

the config file doesnt show up before that

[soft plover]

Yup my games open

[faint ferry]

hmm

[faint ferry]

did you extract the mod and put it into the mod folder?

[soft plover]

Yup

My nose is gone so I think the mod itself worked

[faint ferry]

can you go to the mod folder?

[faint ferry]

okay can can you open the top one

[soft plover]

Yup, I do see a config folder

[faint ferry]

nice!

[soft plover]

Apparently this is the problem

[faint ferry]

hmm

do you have a basic notepad app?

[soft plover]

Yup

[faint ferry]

hmm

[soft plover]

Do you think this is a long term problem in other aspects I may need to worry about or do you think it'd be fine if I just deal with having no nose and forget about this LMFAO

[faint ferry]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5098?tab=description
if you download this mod you'll be able to open a menu to configure mods without needing to edit the json file yourself LOL

[soft plover]

Siiick lets go thank youu

[faint ferry]

np!

once it's downloaded (you'll probably need to close and reopen your game), you can go to the "options" tab and scroll all the way down to see "mod options"

[soft plover]

YUP thank you I have my nose back

[faint ferry]

yay! glad i could help

[naive drum]

You can also just open json files with notepad

[faint ferry]

yeah but for some reason that didnt work for them, so i figured it'd be simpler to download that mod LOL

[hasty flume]

so im having a weird issue with my game. a bunch of objects (mostly mod objects, but a few vanilla ones like the ancient doll) when i look them up using lookup anything are showing as being needed for a recipe for house plants. i have no idea where this recipe is from, but seeing as its other ingredient listed is weeds i think it might be a bug. ive been told its a dynamic game assets issue but idk how to confirm that. it wouldnt be a problem, but im just worried its going to interfere with me getting the craft master achievement. anyone know anything about this?

[lament prairie]

Lookup Anything just doesn't know how to grab the data for DGA items/craftables

The stuff is still there, and works fine (unless you have ppja dga)

[hasty flume]

so im not going to have a bunch of uncraftable house plant recipes stopping me from getting the craft master achievement?

[lament prairie]

Nope, lookup anything just has limits on the data it shows

[hasty flume]

ok, thanks!

i really like the hat you get for that one

[scarlet jungle]

Hello could anyone that knows how to change save game files help me? (I change my mind about getting a pet wich i cannot do without save game changeing)

[atomic cradle]

i am trying to download a mod but it says i need SMAPI and content patcher, but i already have smapi, do i need to download content patcher too? or did it come with SMAPI?

[ornate tide]

you can download content patcher here, you do not need to install smapi again https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1915

[dire fractal]

how to use smapi?

[scarlet jungle]

Does anyone that knows how to change save game files help me? (I change my mind about getting a pet wich i cannot do without save game changeing)

[dire fractal]

Do you have smapi installed

[scarlet jungle]

no should i?

[dire fractal]

If your not modding than you should head to #vanilla-tech-support, but smapi has a save backup mod with it. Other than that I have no idea

[scarlet jungle]

i asked about anyone that could help me CHANGE a save file

[dire fractal]

It's still not a modded question but you could probably just download a save editor or something. I don't know how it works. Honestly though, I don't know of any vanilla way to revert saves

[radiant harbor]

How do I cheat in perfection?
When I enter 'debug perfection' in the SMAPI console, it says [SMAPI] Unknown command; type 'help' for a list of available commands.

[dire fractal]

Did you try just perfection?

[radiant harbor]

perfection and /perfection yielded the same results

[dire fractal]

Do you have console commands installed that comes from smapi

[radiant harbor]

I'm not sure what that means

Is it a separate thing I should install in addition to SMAPI?

[dire fractal]

When you install smapi there should be 3 mods that get installed with it

Error Handler, Console Command and Save Backup

Are they in your mod folder

[radiant harbor]

Oh they weren't!! I'll try again now

I had moved all my mods out because they weren't working and I wasn't sure which mod was conflicting

[dire fractal]

Ok so just reinstall smapi and you should be good

[radiant harbor]

Will restart the game and try again

[dire fractal]

Ah those mods are part of smapi so you don't have to have them, but I'd always keep them in.

how do I put cheats?

i installed smapi

but I forgot to read the instructions

[shy orbit]

you probably want to install cjb cheats menu for it

it's on nexus

[faint ferry]

i think they need help downloading mods in general

[dire fractal]

I'm clicking the install button

but it won't install

i don't know how this works

is this button a jpeg?

[radiant harbor]

It worked!! but now this is happening. it says that 'great friends' is at 94% despite everyone's relationship being at 10 hearts, and then there's... this

[dire fractal]

or something?

[shy orbit]

it's better to download the mods and install them manually https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Install_mods

[dire fractal]

never mind I found the install button

the install button is jpeg

[dire fractal]

Hm, I have no clue than, never got perfection so I wouldn't know what's causing it, sorry. Try sleeping?

[radiant harbor]

I've tried sleeping

[dire fractal]

If you have cheat menu, try decreasing the hearts, though I don't know if you can cause I don't really use it, but increase it again to see if that works, and maybe talk to an npc

[radiant harbor]

I think I got it. I hadn't met all the Ginger Island folks yet

[dire fractal]

Ah

Does anyone but leo count?

Since he is the only friend social npc there.

[radiant harbor]

I hadn't talked to him, I just did, now it's at 100%,

but I didn't get the text in the morning after and I didn't get the perfection statue either...

[gaunt gust]

Yeah I've never had debug perfection work for me

[radiant harbor]

RIP. I'll just cheat in the statue. I'd lost my save file and no way am I going to go through all that progress again

[dire fractal]

where do I put the folder file with cheat menu?

[hoary bane]

!gettingstarted

[native dragon]

@dire fractal 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

[hoary bane]

Inside your mods folder, if you didn't read it. ^^

[dire fractal]

ok

[dire fractal]

oi, where do I put the folder with cheat menu?

I put it in the mods folder

If you installed smapi, installed the cheat menu mod, than you go into the game and press the "P" key

I pressed P

nothing happened

Are you playing through steam?

nope

Gog?

I downloaded it from there yes

[faint ferry]

What mod did you install?

[dire fractal]

Cheat Menu

cjb cheat menu

I wanna play with unlimited energy

Is your mods folder where stardew valley is installed?

yes

Unzipped?

yws

yes

[faint ferry]

Can you send a picture?

[shy orbit]

make sure you're launching smapi and not the native game executable

wait actually (nah nevermind)

[faint ferry]

Ah yeah, if you're launching it correctly, another window will open along with the game

[dire fractal]

I put it inside save back up

[faint ferry]

Oh no you dont do that

You put it in the stardew valley folder

Not the save file

[dire fractal]

oh...

You had it in the right folder

I now put it back

in the picture

just run StardewModdingAPI.exe

[faint ferry]

@dire fractal does this happen?

It would be called smapi and it is black window with lots of textsl

[dire fractal]

I open the modded version

[faint ferry]

Does it work?

[dire fractal]

wait

yes

[faint ferry]

Cool

[dire fractal]

Run that

I can now play stardew with unlimited energy

I hate losing 1k

and walking

[faint ferry]

Glad it works

[dire fractal]

yes thank you very much

[tribal notch]

do a patch summary on the farmhand
Market Day registers a token IsMarketDay that switches the shop tables on and off, it would be interesting to know the value of that token compared to whether the mod thinks it's market day (from the log)

[dire fractal]

how to make an item make into many?

like 1 item into 60 item

hey, it says I want to extract mods in the mods folder

but then it splits into 3

where do I place the new mod?

[astral plover]

wym by it splits into 3? if there's a folder in the zip and then there are 3 folders in that folder, then just place the first folder you got directly out of the zip into the mods folder

[dire fractal]

uh this is the mods folder I have

I am unsure what to do

[astral plover]

those are just the mods the modloader (smapi) comes with

just leave them there, no reason to remove them.

[dire fractal]

so I downloaded content patcher since some say it's essential, it wants me to extract it. I extract it where?

[astral plover]

into the folder where the other 3 mods that you just posted are.

stardew valley\mods\content patcher

thats where you install pretty much 99% of all mods

just dump them into the mods folder

unpacked ofcourse, not the zip or rar file.

[dire fractal]

okok done. Now how do I play with the mods? is it like terraria where Smapi has a different launcher or something else?

[astral plover]

[dire fractal]

oh hey that exists thanks

[astral plover]

actually, this one has the starting the game part

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows#Steam

[dire fractal]

oh no I skipped a step

i am a boomer

rename Stardew Valley.exe to another name such as Stardew Valley original.exe;
make a copy of StardewModdingAPI.exe and name the copy Stardew Valley.exe.

how important is this

[gaunt gust]

are you on xbox gamepass

[astral plover]

i've literally never done that

[dire fractal]

this is why im struggling yeah

[astral plover]

yeah sounds like you're on xbox gamepass maybe then

[gaunt gust]

it is required for xbox gamepass 😛

[dire fractal]

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[dire fractal]

how do i do this step

[hoary bane]

Oh? How needlessly rude.

[dire fractal]

do I copy

this thing

[gaunt gust]

....not the directory, the .exe

do you have anyone in your life who is good with computers.

[dire fractal]

uhhhhh wait

sadly no

OH WAIT

THE THING

[gaunt gust]

yeah, that!

[dire fractal]

okok wait

[astral plover]

(maybe you might want to enable file name extensions)

[dire fractal]

What is that I'm gonna cry from my stupidity oh and I renamed the thing

[astral plover]

shows the ... file name extension, at the end of every file, not just some

so its not called "stardew valley" and then "application" under type, but actually "stardew valley.exe"

i dunno about win 11, but it should be a setting under "view" in your explorer.

i cant even imagine why microsoft still puts that as the default setting for windows.

[dire fractal]

OHOH

I can see it

IT'S WORKING

[timber bane]

You’ll want CJB Item Spawner :3 https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/93

[dire fractal]

Huh. I can't shake the feeling I did something wrong

My game directory from Xbox now immediately goes to Smapi but my Vanilla saves are still there

Does the screen look big for you guys?

[dusky canyon]

I guess?

[dire fractal]

is it normal to have the vanilla saves still there?

[gaunt gust]

yeah, vanilla saves are normal

[dire fractal]

thanks for the help people

[static owl]

Hello! I'm currently using Project Yellog town overhaul along with Stardew Valley Extended, but Dusty is missing. His dialogue bubble is there, but it seems like he's "behind" everything. Is there a fix for this? (if my smapi log is also needed idk how, so i'll need some guidance 🙂 )

[lament prairie]

If you remove the town overhaul does he return?

Does the town overhaul change the doghouse?

[gaunt gust]

Yeah, Dusty's a map edit in SVE, that's not unexpected

[static owl]

Yeah, if i replace it with Way Back Pelican town he's there

[dire fractal]

hey guys, how do you update mods?

[stray rose]

are you using a mod manager? vortex or stardrop, or did you manually install

[dire fractal]

I am using smapi

[stray rose]

how did you install those mods?

[dire fractal]

manually i believe

[stark cypress]

Download the new version, remove the old version's folders, put in new version

[stray rose]

i think you just have to copy each of those links and replace yeah

[dire fractal]

ohhh okay so should i download, delete old, replace?

[stark cypress]

Some mods will have a config.json file for settings, hold on to them

[rare void]

Hi i need some help,, my game crashed on my wedding day and the whole ceremony skipped. Is there a way to fix this issue? i tried to run the command "debug wedding NPCNAME" but it didnt work, it shows this message "[Console Commands] Sent debug command to the game, but there was no output."

[stark cypress]

Yep, exactly

[dire fractal]

thank you both so much ❤️

[stray rose]

shouldn't it have reset you back at the start of the day?

or are you using save anywhere or similiar

[rare void]

it didnt,, but all my wallpaper have changed back to default

[rare void]

no

[stray rose]

thats strange then

[gaunt gust]

(known vanilla bug, unfortunately)

[rare void]

there is some red text though,,

[stray rose]

ah i see, is it possible to maybe try and remarry the npc?

whats the current relationship status say

[rare void]

wife,,

[stray rose]

hmm ill have a look if theres a command to 'divorce' without the negative effects so you can try to remarry (maybe backing up your save before in case too lol)

[rare void]

alr thank u alot for ur help in advance!!

[static owl]

ah okay thanks for the help! @lament prairie thanks for the help too!!

[stray rose]

hmmm try using these commands
debug makeex NPCNAME
then make sure the relationship status changes ingame,,

then do
debug wedding NPCNAME

hmm anyway hopefully that works, but the reason i joined was cause i had my own problem,, basically i have really no idea why but it seems like the ppja mod "More Recipes" doesnt work, but only the JsonAssets part, the mailframework is working fine (as are every other ppja mod)

ive been trying to figure out why on my own but im kinda stumped

[rare void]

IT WORKED THANK U ALOT!!

[stray rose]

cause initially i just thought i wasnt getting the recipes in the mail cause the object names were mismatched, but it turns out that the objects just dont exist ingame lol

[stray rose]

haha np im glad you can marry whoever you were marrying

the even more recipes mod works too which is weird that its isolated to just one of them

when i cant really even find any difference in how theyre set up

hmm actually the more recipes folder has parenthesis in its name so ill try removing those

nope didnt fix

[dire fractal]

Would you guys say that the adventurers guild expansion pack mod is worth it?

[stray rose]

haven't personally played it, but it seems pretty neat, it only has one monster questline so far however

id say go for it if you think it looks cool

[dire fractal]

Hmm but there sso many mods to download
😦

As in, the recommended

[stray rose]

on my recent playthrough i just started off with the stardew VERY expanded nexus mods collection (installed with vortex)

and then added on from there some of my personal must haves and stuff

also so i ended up using the dga version for more recipes alongside the jsonasset versions of all the other ppja mods and it seems to be wokring now

weird though

if anyone else can let me know if they can get the jsonassets version of more recipes working i'd be super greatful

[cerulean swallow]

hey any suggestion for mc mod design ? I'm kinda bored of my normal look

[willow creek]

any similar mods to "dynamic night time"?

nvm found it

[worn matrix]

Where are the save files stored for Stardew Valley, I want to try out Stardew Valley Expanded but I don't want to accidentally corrupt my save files or anything

And does it conflict with any other mods I may have like NPC map locations

My Stardew Valley itself. I wanted to run the lastest beta monogame engine version of the game because I remember it working fine

So I can use mods

[gaunt gust]

Broken jojamart_replacement schedule then

[gaunt gust]

Might be able to with depot downloader, but I don't think that much has changed since the beta. What is the exact error you get

Do you have smapi installed and if so can you update it?

Hello there SDV Community, i need some help regarding this issue i've got. I just started a new save file with plenty of mods, around 120 I think

And with all of this clutter of mods, it seems It caused a new issue which i've never heard of - I can't close a letter
By this i mean, i can close it, but not 100%, i can reopen it how many times I want, and I cant read my other letters

I do not know if this is caused by Mail Framework or by others mods, but anyways - thanks for the help in advance

Hello, I need help for a multiplayer mod on mobile

[neat plaza]

are you running via gamepass or from the exe in the game folder?

[lusty folio]

I'm running the SMAPI launcher via the exe

[neat plaza]

!gamepasssmapi this should say how to make it run via the app

[native dragon]

Installing SMAPI for Gamepass requires extra steps. Please see the guide here https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows#Xbox_app

[lusty folio]

ahh, gotcha. Thanks for the help!

[gritty dust]

Can someone help me? I downloaded it on 2 devices but I can't connect

[gaunt gust]

If it installed into modifiedWindowsApps you may need to uninstall and reinstall the game

One person had to uninstall and reinstall gamepass to get it to move to the right location....

[lament prairie]

This mod is pretty sketch and no one here knows anything about how it works

The code is closed-source and seems to install ads into the game

And one person said their computer flagged it as a virus (idk how accurate that is, antiviruses are kind unstable)

[lusty folio]

ah, so it seems i have to do some re installing aswell then, thanks for the extra info aswell!

[gritty dust]

Oh ok, thanks for reply

[crisp pumice]

oooooooo my foot is sleeping on me X_X

@gaunt gust I can't do that because once I put delete json from outside the folder it says my mod folder isn't a mod so i need to delete the folder (mod folder when I say folder ) grrrrrr

[dire fractal]

hey y'all, what's the best sprite update mod? There's too many

[gaunt gust]

Every mod needs to be in its own individual folder. You have mods outside of their folder; you should delete those mods and reinstall them

[tidal cipher]

how do i fix this? i downloaded stardew expanded with an existing save and it has the immersive farm 2 mod as well

[crisp pumice]

Or I have an idea I could technley restore all my deleted mods and put them back

[gaunt gust]

ignore it 😛 you'll be able to move the greenhouse after it's repaired.

[tidal cipher]

okay thanks

[crisp pumice]

they wouldn't be updated but would

work

Let me test that then I'll tell you what happends

oh I figured it out I downloaded the wrong version of smapi I downloaded the devolper version

[dusky canyon]

Just do what atravita said

[mossy storm]

hello all (: i was wondering if i could get some help.. i am very new to modding but ive been trying to apply "GH's Peach Farmer Body Type" to my game.. ive read all instructions very carefully... i have gotten to the point where i have merged my base and other options but whenever i put the merged png into DIYCP Suite farmer files, my farmer has some white layering issues?
if anyone could help i would greatly appreciate it !

[lament prairie]

I'm not familiar with the specific mod but I do know that farmer base modification is rather tricky

If you screenshot the issues and post your merged image here that might help anyone trying to debug with you

[sweet cove]

Use the Content Patcher version that's already in the blog

[daring light]

well this doesn't look good

[lament prairie]

You're the 2nd person I've seen in the last day or so with piles of CF NREs

The last person I told to just convert all their CF mods to DGA/swap to the DGA versions

So idk what's up with CF

You can try to trash and respawn all your CF furniture

Is this a MP game?

[daring light]

this is my first time trying CF

and no it's SP

[mossy storm]

okay i hate to ask but where do i find the version ur talking about?

[daring light]

I don't know what dga is but I'l lcheck it out

just download the zip file that you see when you scroll down

[mossy storm]

oh... my.... gosh........ that was so much easier than what i just went through for the past week tryng to figure that out. thank you so much, i could cry rn

[daring light]

that sounds like unsafe advice

[calm spindle]

Host: https://smapi.io/log/483f17f8e9d94bb98811402ffac5fcd1

Client: https://smapi.io/log/714b891371804302b2a250690b184798

Oh and its the 2nd patch summary for each one, as I did a patch summary on market day as well

just because

IDK if I'm reading it right, but looks like the ismarketday flag is the same on the server/client

[gaunt gust]

okay, can we try something drastic (and hopefully doesn't cause a cash)r

have the client type patch invalidate Maps/Town

(while not standing on that map)

that will force a reload of that map, in theory. Or crash everything

[calm spindle]

Is that directed at me? I have everything I need backed up backed up

[gaunt gust]

oh, at worst it'll just cause a disconnect or something like that

[calm spindle]

Yeah IK :P. Uh I will try this

[calm spindle]

And they type this on Sunday when the map is bugged? When they wake up?

[gaunt gust]

yeah, maybe

[calm spindle]

If it works should I run a patch summary or something

[gaunt gust]

(I'm trying to see if it's a timing issue/invaldations issue)

[calm spindle]

This issue does seem to be really consistent, for what its worth, and I am testing over direct IP LAN

[calm spindle]

@gaunt gust Uh it didnt seem to do anything

[Content Patcher] Invalidated asset 'Maps/Town'.```

[gaunt gust]

hummm interesting, so that didn't force a reload

[calm spindle]

Should I sleep and see if its fixed the next day?

Usually stuff like this persists for days

[gaunt gust]

huh. that's odd.

I feel like map edits worked before.

[calm spindle]

Yeah it persists until the host restarts

[gaunt gust]

this might be an ask-pathos....

[calm spindle]

Uh I will double check this just to be sure

Yeah it persists to monday

[gaunt gust]

feel like I should throw together a small repo pack and see if it's a consistent issue

I have a few map edits I can rip out of a smol mod

but also going on vaccy in two days, so dunno if I'll ahve time until I get back.

[calm spindle]

@tired brook

In a nutshell these map changes are not syncing to the client, and it seems we can't figure out why

(but you can follow the chain above to see)

[calm spindle]

Yeah I can try throwing mods out of a fresh save I guess, no idea of MD alone is enough to trigger this.

[slender pike]

so i know im probably super late to this, but i havent been on nexus in a while

why are mod collections bad?

[calm spindle]

Uh you mean why do modders not like them, or why they are iffy for users?

[slender pike]

ive heard some people say that they dont want their mods in nexus collections
but i guess both lmao

[calm spindle]

Simply put, modders want to be able to delete or delist their mods or old version of their mods, and the pack system doesnt let them do that.

Its a nexus culture problem if you ask me

[lament prairie]

Author perspective:
You have no control over which other mods your mods are shown alongside, including NSFW mods and mods you might not agree with OR that your mod may be incompatible with.
Also, Nexus removed the ability for authors to delete old versions of mods, so there's no guarantee users will be shown the latest version as part of a collection.
Generally, having mods in collections seems likely to increase the number of bad bug reports.

[calm spindle]

For users, uh, I think the big issue in SDV is that it makes you use vortex

Which doesnt work great for sdv

[slender pike]

oooooooooh

[calm spindle]

And it also encourages users to use old version

[faint ferry]

It doesnt make you tbf

[calm spindle]

Which is also less than ideal in SDV

[slender pike]

i thought it was nice because it would have let me put everything in a nice little list so if i leave the game for a few months i can easily find what im looking for

[calm spindle]

I havent actually tried it though, trust others over what I say 😛

[slender pike]

(i have over 1000 mods in my game that have been carefully selected and probably 1000s more that ive downloaded then deleted so its really hard to look in my mod history lmao)

[lament prairie]

For the versions issue, here's a situation I expect to arise if more users adopt collections:
"Your mod doesn't work!"
"Yeah, cause you're using 6 versions back in some random collection where another mod is patching over the same sprites"

[slender pike]

ah i see

[lament prairie]

The nice little list thing does sound convenient

I'm just not convinced they've implemented it that well

[calm spindle]

See I disagree with lots of this though. If you license your mod as MIT or whatever, thats the baggage that comes with it

People will do things with it you disagree with it

[lament prairie]

Sure, some of my mods I don't license as MIT

(None of my content pack mods are licensed other than the default Nexus you-can-use-this-mod level of licensing)

[calm spindle]

And not licensing it permissivley creates all sorts of complications for the users IMO

And other modders who might want to work with it

[lament prairie]

Yeah, but I'm literally on this Discord and reachable every day

[ancient gale]

Does the Bed Tweaks mod work? I have it in my mods foler but it isn't in the config menu

[calm spindle]

For instance if you take a SDV break and someone wants to fork or update your mod

[lament prairie]

If and when I decide to be less active, then maybe I will—but I don't feel like I necessarily owe it to users to make their lives easy at the cost of my peace of mind

[calm spindle]

I sympathize with the old bug reports things, but also... that is the user's problem 😛

[ornate tide]

most of the modders upset about nexusmods policy are artists who want the rights to their artwork

[calm spindle]

You use a modpack, you forefeit that kinda support

[gaunt gust]

Elizabeth can also hand off her mods if she plans to leave

[calm spindle]

I dont think SDV will ever be like minecraft where packs are popular enough to pressure devs to backport stuff

[lament prairie]

That's fair, if users do plan to not complain then I'm ok with collections

[calm spindle]

That is indeed nutty

[gaunt gust]

It's near impossible to backport anyways)

[lament prairie]

I've thought about building in some kind of "bus number failsafe" but to be honest SDV modding doesn't quite seem critical enough to consider that

[slender pike]

honeslty, as long as users understand what theyre getting into (ie, they cant expect mod support/every mod to work perfectly) and the modders themselves can make the choice if they want to let their mods in a collection then it would be good

[calm spindle]

Or even just support ancient versions of MC

[ornate tide]

it does work but if the config isnt showing up in gmcm you might have to manually edit the config json

[ancient gale]

Oh gotcha, I should be able to figure that out

[gaunt gust]

It's goddamn mobile support for sdv

[lament prairie]

If there was a "my mod can be in collections that are not NSFW" then I would honestly be much happier, but there's 0 control/settings whatsoever for authors rn

[calm spindle]

Yes exactly lol. though maybe even worse for MC

[calm spindle]

But IMO you shouldnt care too much about what other users do with your mod

To a reasonable extent

[lament prairie]

Sure, I'm not too bothered by users installing 1 by 1 or whatever

It's the appearing alongside/on the same lists that somehow bothers me more

[calm spindle]

They shouldnt repost it and ship malware, but thats a nexus issue if they let uploaders do that

[lament prairie]

Because it feels more like advertising in combination

[gaunt gust]

Ngl, I license mit, but I would be quite upset if I found out if a mod, say, glorifying violence, used my stuff

[lament prairie]

When users pick and choose on their own that really seems like their business

[gaunt gust]

(I just avoid looking)

[calm spindle]

I would too, but thats the hazard of a permissive license

[lament prairie]

I agree that this isn't like, my top concern

[calm spindle]

Its out of our control

[lament prairie]

Which is why all my C# mods are licensed MIT

[calm spindle]

IIRC ReShade almost died because "modders" kept stripping the credits for crosire out.

that was pretty scummy

[lament prairie]

In particular, users get credit/DP for curating a collection

So it almost seems like a "product" of some sort

Which, I agree it's effort to curate a list!

I'm just not sure I agree with Nexus' implementation

[slender pike]

the fact that you cant control whether ur in a nsfw/controversial mod collection is a bit worrying
like, would both mods be marked as nsfw or will neither mod get marked (both worrysome in its own way)

[gaunt gust]

(My other annoyance is I don't like most collections haha)

[lament prairie]

The mod should in theory not at all be affected

[calm spindle]

Also its still the users choice to use that collection though

[lament prairie]

So far collections in SDV seems to not have been too big a thing?

[calm spindle]

Yes also this...

[gaunt gust]

(On modgroup they are usually "sve plus a few other mods". Just not interesting)

[calm spindle]

This is true of many game mod communities, lol

[lament prairie]

Maybe because anytime someone pops in here with a weird Vortex issue I tell them Vortex is really annoying to troubleshoot

[calm spindle]

the collections will legit error out at startup, and I'm like whyyyyy

[gaunt gust]

I also tend to fork and edit mods. I have custom builds of a lot of mods

[lament prairie]

Agree that last time I checked, the collections are quite uninspired (I haven't checked in a bit)

[gaunt gust]

So i get that I'm just picky and really care about what i install

[lament prairie]

If people got into making like "this is a combat-heavy modlist" or like "here's some great synergistic crafting and crop mods" that would be more interesting

[calm spindle]

The mc modpack community is really good though. The amount of custom patching done is insane.

For the top packs

Just as a counterexample

[slender pike]

thats really the type of collections i was looking for

[lament prairie]

I think people do make curated modlists on the modding wiki

[slender pike]

like "oh heres a bunch of crop/animal mods"
but most of them are aesthetic or "this personal user's mod list"

[calm spindle]

And not every game is like SDV where cross patching for compatibility is relatively easy

[lament prairie]

https://stardewmodding.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:Recommendations

[calm spindle]

looking at you Stellaris

[lament prairie]

haha, i've only modded stardew

Usually if two mods are hard incompatible in Stardew it's because they literally do the same thing

[calm spindle]

Stellaris has no real coding language and no file patching, everything overwrites everything else

it is a nightmare.

[slender pike]

or even if there was a nice little way for me to put all the mods i have currently in one list and then i could just go thru them and see which ones need adjusting and which ones are jsut sending up false update flags for smapi

[calm spindle]

Hence you get miracle/abomination mods like this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2604437397&searchtext=

yes i am very interested!!!!!

this is literally the exact thing i was looking for in collections lmao thank u so much!!!!

[lament prairie]

I go old-school and keep a bunch of Mods folders around tagged by the save I use them for

And just rename when needed

I admit this is getting less practical over time

Since I now have like...20 different folders?

[gaunt gust]

"The save used for, how angry I was trying to debug a mod conflict, figuring out if something was a smapi bug or no...."

[lament prairie]

I have bugtesting, Test, and SMAPI bugtesting

[gaunt gust]

I have "Mods - grumble"

[lament prairie]

Also Alpha, 1.5.6, and Glue

Glue makes a lot of sense in context

But not very much outside 😆

[dire fractal]

Wait a minute

I got Stardew valley expanded. I took beach

Does that mean I have more land but still no sprinklers?

[lament prairie]

If you didn't install a farm map mod, then yes

[calm spindle]

@gaunt gust @tribal notch I replicated it first try with the most minimal loadout I can think of, just Market Day and its requirements. host: https://smapi.io/log/fd36daf80ab4470abb47b4c0bcd1a721

client: https://smapi.io/log/26ca1840b02e4888a4a952b109d569ec

I still got the windows open if yall got any ideas

Also a brand new save ^

patch invalidate Maps/Town doesnt do anything either.

[gaunt gust]

patch dump on both?

[calm spindle]

oh whoops wrong button, one sec gotta repro it again

[gaunt gust]

Log says those patches shouldn't be applied but they clearly are

[crisp pumice]

What’s the difference between the developer version of smapi and the non developer version of it ??

[dusky canyon]

one is called developer and the other is not

[gaunt gust]

Dev mode prints more to console. That's it

[calm spindle]

[Content Patcher] The 'patch dump' command requires an argument which indicates what to dump. See 'patch help dump' for more info.

[Content Patcher] patch dump
   Usage: patch dump applied
   Lists active patches grouped by their target value.

   Usage: patch dump order
   Lists every loaded patch in their apply order. When two patches edit the same asset, they'll be applied in the apply order.

[gaunt gust]

Patch dump applied, probably

[calm spindle]

I just did both :P. posting host in 1 sec, here is client: https://smapi.io/log/a6700751de884a7d99d9f736c6f80544

[calm spindle]

Updating your mods is a good step to try, as is addressing this error: There are ZERO Happy birthday content packs found for the mod. Without at least one installed there is no guaranteed that this mod will work due to missing dialogue errors. Please install at least one HappyBirthdayContent pack before continuing. One can be found at https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11148 for English dialogue. Thank you!

[fading pawn]

happy birthday was giving me errors after update

But at the and there are game errors with spouse.....

[gaunt gust]

Broken sleeping animation

Does that still happen if you temporarily remove free love?

[chrome dust]

pspsps. how do i change my farmers portrait with the.. well, farmers portrait mod? i wanna use a custom image

[ornate tide]

did you download the example pack for it?

[chrome dust]

nope LMAO gimme a sec

[ornate tide]

when you do its pretty straightforward, just replace the portrait image in that assets folder

[chrome dust]

this'n?

[ornate tide]

yes

[chrome dust]

aight thats probably all i needed then, thanks!

[calm spindle]

@gaunt gust Any other ideas? Otherwise I'll close the test game

[gaunt gust]

Not really, sorry

[chrome dust]

i assume the background (below) will change if im using mods that change the interface? or should i manually change it

[ornate tide]

it does not, you can remove that and then remove the load background line from the content.json

or change it if you want

[chrome dust]

ill do that then

[fading pawn]

i will try!

[dire fractal]

hey, what's the name of the mod that shows you your exp on a certain skill?

[calm spindle]

@tribal notch One other thing, would it be safe to remove randomnpc, since it doesnt work in multiplayer anyway?

The game seems to remove the existing npcs just fine, the console doesnt complain on market day

[tribal notch]

yes, you can just delete it

[calm spindle]

BTW, if you cant find em, useful logs from random above pings are also on github.

[tribal notch]

so the conclusion from patch dump on the client was, CP thinks the patches are not applied, but in fact the patches are applied?

[calm spindle]

I am running the beta CP btw, but this sort of thing also happened in previous versions

Not with MD specifically, but with other mods

So I suspect its not the beta

[tribal notch]

I have a mountain of assignments to mark before I can look at anything, so any suggestion that it's not my fault is welcome 😂

[calm spindle]

!blame pathos

[tribal notch]

blame MBA students interfering with my modding

hmm, "class, your capstone assignment is to develop a simulation of a small market economy situated in a fictional rural village"

[gaunt gust]

"Bonus points if you submit a pr that fixes a bug in this mod"

[tribal notch]

nek minit Morris has opened a bank, the Governor's imposing austerity measures, Sebastian's startup lets you buy swords with crypto, and if you don't pay the dwarf his 60% interest you can collect your kneecaps from the bottom of the mines

[lament prairie]

new currency: kneecaps?

[tribal notch]

any student who calls it a bug-fix not an enhancement gets to re-take their marketing subjects

hokay, time to get on with the real marking

[tawny moon]

hello chat how are you? Anyone having audio issues when they mod there game o.o; i get static when there is no ,mods its fine

[dire fractal]

The gist of my issue is that I'm using a copy of Stardew from Xbox Gamepass and I want to use the Expanded modpack. However, I'm having trouble doing that. Before I go off and waste my money, I wanted to know if I was doing anything wrong or if I was missing a step. Thanks for your time!

There are instructions specific for the xbox app

[dire fractal]

you are an angel

[late nebula]

Yeah it should help with that

[dire fractal]

Okay new problem

It's just not downloading

I only get to 2 questions and it just fails

I dont know why

@late nebula sorry for being a pain, may

But it seems you know more about this than me

[tawny moon]

Mhm she does lol, i know nothing bout xbox stuff i m just a pc lady, though i always assumed xbox n pc was the same o.o i was wrong lol

[dire fractal]

Well me too but clearly this works different

[tawny moon]

seems like it for sure O_O;

i m just having audio problems dunno why oO;

[calm spindle]

Oh you mean SDV is not downloading?

Delete it and try again.

Also be sure to update the xbox app (and every other app) through the, errr, apps app in Windows.

Xbox is moody as heck though, its absolutely ridiculous.

[dire fractal]

well i dont own the game

is that a factor?

[calm spindle]

Nah gamepass is basically the same as owning it.
