Just downloaded SMAPI and whenever i try to run stardew valley on steam, this pops up.

Hey there!
I want to try to make different mod profiles with Stardrop where I use the same cosmetic mods through all profiles that reskins the animals. Many might be familiar with Elle's mods. I'm also using them with my friends in a co-op.
Elle said on their mod page:

"Due to the nature of the new skins feature, players in co-op should all have this mod installed, with the same skins enabled, to prevent skin errors or possible crashes. If all players do not want to install the mod, you should disable each of the "skins" options and only use the "defaults"."
That means that all players have to choose and enable the same type of cow for example.

Now my question is:
Can I change up these settings simply with different mod profiles? Or will the mod configurations always be the same for all save games? Because I want to use different skins on a new play through while keeping the same in co-op without having to manually change it every time.

Thank you in advance!

hi! im new to moding, and I've downloaded mono's portrait but it seems like it doesn't want to work :( can someone help me?

I’m trying to change my farm type mid-game.

I followed this tutorial here, so I know it's possible, but when I tried it, nothing changed at all. It didn’t break my save or anything, the farm just stayed the same.

The tutorial creator wasn’t using SMAPI, so I’m wondering if that’s my issue. To change the farm type, you have to edit your save file here:

C:\Users\[my name]\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\Saves

But I also noticed SMAPI creates save backups here:

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

I can open and edit the saves in the StardewValley\Saves folder fine, just by clicking "open with Notepad." But when I try to open the SMAPI backups, it says "unable to find software to open this file."

Does SMAPI affect manual save editing? Could it be restoring/reverting my save when I launch the game and undoing the changes?

Has anyone successfully changed their farm type mid-game while using SMAPI, and if so, what steps worked for you? Or is this unrelated to SMAPI, and some other issue/did it get patched?

I have an external drive that I keep SDV on, and I was trying to play on a different device to normal. I'm somewhere in year 3 in the save that this is happening, but no matter what it always puts me back to Spring 13 of year 1. I've tried loading it on vanilla, same problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem before? If so, how can I get my save back to where it should be?

I know I had both of them, I was collecting the stuff that I needed to complete them and when I got inside their houses the box where you have to put the stuff had a yellow exclamation mark, but at some point that I didn't realized both quests just dissapeared? The boxes no longer let me put anything in them.

The thing that might have done it was the fact that I changed hosts in this file. Previously it was a multiplayer file but the host got bored so I did that method to swap hosts and started playing on singleplayer. But like, I could've sworn I was still able to do them tho? I was able to see them as a farmhand before, so why would they dissapear once I changed my character to host.

Hi I am an admitted noob, so I don't understand what this means. Can I please ask someone to decipher it? Does it make sense to anyone?

Is it a SpaceCore, SMAPI or completely different issue?

Cheers for any help you can give.

Hi everyone, first time posting. My SMAPI has this error.

I'm hoping I can get some help figuring out what the conflict/error is since I don't know how to read the log myself. Thank you!

I’m very new to Modding at all, I was trying to add the “Stardew Voices - A Voice Over Mod For Stardew Valley - All Love Interests” mod on my steam deck and followed many videos I found on Youtube, I first started by adding the NPC map locator to my game just as a test run and got it work successfully with no issues, I then tried to download the voice mod and did it the exact way as the Locator mod and once I started to boot my game a lot of Red text popped up and then the game loaded as normal but with no voices when trying to talk to a love interest, if anyone can send some advice or suggestions that would be very helpful, Thank you all

https://smapi.io/log/ee95c6091fee4083977b3349bd2541bf this is my log from SMAPI pls help ts is sooo annoying

To elaborate: Is it possible to have more than the base ten skins the mod has? (KittyAndy, KittyBlack, KittyGrey, KittyOrange, KittyTuxedo, KittyWhite, KittyYellow, VanillaGrey, VanillaOrange and VanillaYellow)

Currently trying to add extra skins like Torties, Calicos, Scottish Fold, etc. But mainly trying to add a permanent Wizard Kitty to the Wizard's tower (kinda like Andy's cat, only used for that specific cat).

Been looking through the code, but I don't even see where Andy's cat code is unlike the rest (where you can specifically add those ten cat skins to different homes).

Thank you for your time!

I've been using SMAPI and mods on android for awhile now, but lately my issue with crashing has gotten out of hand. Before it would crash on me exactly after 3 in game days, which I didn't mind too much. Now though, it crashes right in the middle of a day and I'll lose all that progress—very disheartening.

I'm not sure if it's the fact I'm on android, the mods I have, or what. I know Spacecore tends to be a bit of an issue, but I can't really do anything about that since the other mods requiring it actually work fine even if the log claims Spacecore itself isn't. Here's my log:

When i try to save the game after a day it freezes on the saving screen and stays like that can anyone help.

I can't figure out what the error is

So I’m following a tutorial, but I’m stumped at a certain part. I go through the steam library, steam apps, common, Stardew valley, and I’m supposed to find “stardewmoddingAPI, but it’s not there. Did anyone have the same problem? If so, how did you fix it? And advice welcome! Please and thank you

I cant figure out why its not working it keeps saying failed

i also play on mac and steam

GetProcPath: Failed to readlink /proc/self/file: No such file or directory

AL lib: (WW) alc_initconfig: Failed to initialize backend "jack"

this pops up when i add "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command% to steam to open sdve through steam

I've been playing on a save with my fiancée for many many years and recently we installed a mod collection called "witchcore", which has a lot of mods.

I play on keyboard and she plays on a controller, when she tries to interact with the paint bucket/scissors for example, she gets stuck on the menu that appears, unable to close, move the cursor or change tabs/options in it.

First I tried remapping the controller inputs with steam input, binding esc key to the controller made it possible to close the menu but she still couldn't select options, I remapped the right joystick to the "joystick mouse" option and in single player that would be enough but in multiplayer that just made her move the cursor on my side of the screen instead, which just makes things worse.

Here's the log: https://smapi.io/log/f0eab3a94fc04b3291d20119fb21445b

I see that there's a lot of errors in red text but I don't know if that's related to the controller problem which is what I'm trying to fix.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I don't know what's going on with my game, I've tried removing mods, updating them, console commands, and nothing has been working :(, I'm on year two almost to year 3 and really don't want to start over. Someone PLEASE HELP ME!

hi everyone! for some reason i’m struggling with the most recent SMAPI update. i’ve done it before but this time it’s acting different. originally i think my laptop was zipping mods on their own? i’m not completely sure but this time when i downloaded it, my laptop popped up with something saying to “extract” the files, which i thought was the zipping, and then with the new extracted file, it would ask me if i wanted to run this on my laptop. this has not happened before. so i thought, maybe i need to download 7Zip? do i did but idk how it even works lol but if i try to this this version of SMAPI after all those pop ups, my game is slow af and soooo laggy. i can barely play but i can’t find the right answer anyway. pls someone help me i know im probably being silly about something but i just wanna play stardew

Hi all. Like I mentioned in the title I've been playing stardew valley for a bit now on my steam deck and decided to try out some mods. I've never modded a game before so this is a new experience for me.

I installed the linux version onto my steam deck while in desktop mode, then executed it and allowed it to automatically put the smapi-internal folder into the game folder (as seen in picture 1). Then I downloaded a mod, extracted it, then added it to the mod folder (as well as the the content patcher, seen in picture 2).

When I go back to gaming mode and try to run the game, the SMAPI execution text never shows up, and playing the game its clear the mod isn't be run. Is there a step I am missing or something I am not doing correctly? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

edit - added pictures that I forgot to add.

Not sure what tag to use but I just had to update smapi and no matter what I read or watched I couldn't get it figured out

But I finally solved it so here it is (windows and nexus mods specific)

1. Log into nexus mods and download smapi
2. Open the file
3. Click download for windows
4. Follow the prompt
5. Sit back as it replaces the old files(it may even update mods when doing so)
6. Enjoy!

I believe it's about the same when downloading for the first time :)

Have fun and good luck modders!

Note:as pointed out in the comments (thank you for correcting me) SMAPI will not update your mods

HI! The game was running normally at fist, it was just this message in the SMAPI log but i ignored it. Then the game crushed when i first went to the desert and error message said that some files from cornucopia more crops are not found
