Stardew valley modded startup failing

[bright peak]

Hello, I am trying to play stardew valley with light QOL mods with the new nexus mods manager, however it doesn't run even though I started with a clean folder, installed all of the mods from the wesite and even run the mod manager as administrator, is there any way to fix this?

Hey! Let's try a few things to get this sorted out.
Bit late- but better than never.

First, let's test with no mods:

• Disable all your mods in the manager
• Hit "Apply" to save the changes
• Try launching the game from the mod manager
• Does it still crash?

If the game runs fine with no mods enabled, then we know it's a mod related conflict/issue.

If it still crashes, we'll need to look deeper into the App itself
Let me know what's up :p

Note: You actually shouldn't run the mod manager as administrator - it's not recommended.
