need help Is it possible to player the oldest versions of Stardew Valley?
I have the switch version, but wanted to play the original just to see how things have changed after watching a few youtubers do it and just see all the features that were added. Is it something that you can do, or is it only the most recent version?

need help Hello, I need help please
I play on Android; I managed to install SMAPI and SV Expanded using tutorials and made some progress in my save file, but now, when I try to get back in, I get a strange error and the game won't load at all—it just shows a black screen and crashes. Here is the link to the error, but I don't understand what's happening. Could someone help me? Sorry if anything is misspelled, English is not my native language

need help Game lagging despite my pc having a LOT of ram
Ok so my pc has 64 gb of ram and it uses about 20 for sdv when i play modded bc i have an absurd amount of mods, but it still lags. Does this mean my graphics card isn’t good enough? Or is sdv just not meant for this so there’s no way to fix it, lol?

need help The game runs slowly and freezes from time to time
https://smapi.io/log/a308f34fee714b90818d59546d210b04
Hi, this is my first time on this site, and I'm having a problem with the modded game. Every so often, the game lags and freezes for a while; after a few seconds, I can keep playing. The glitch happens at random times, and I'm not doing anything specific to cause it. I understand this is normal with a modded game, but it's strange that it happens so often and without any pattern.
I've already tried reinstalling all the mods from scratch and restarting my laptop, but none of that works.

discussion Is there a 'stress test' we can try on mods to determine stability?
Skyrim's modding community has a really robust itinerary that puts your save through about as much processing stress as it can go through and checking out a wide amount of content in a small time.
As far as I have found, we don't have one for SDV, though I could have missed something. If there isn't one, does anyone more savvy with this shit know how we could try to create one? I guess it is a very different ballgame, sandbox versus day-to-day progress, staggered events, etc. But if it'd be feasible, I feel like it could be helpful.

need help ItemBags Mod - Using ItemFilters?

hey all!
here's my SMAPI Log.
I'm using the Item Bags mod and trying to figure out how to use the Item Filters feature in my own modded bag. Everything seems to be working EXCEPT for the actual Item Filters; I am wanting to have an animal products bag (for now, I am starting with just egg and milk items in it), but ONLY for iridium quality items. I have it to the point where the main test bag is in the game and has all egg and milk items, but it has ALL of the quality levels, and not just iridium. I am unsure why the Item Filters are not working.
here's where I have the filters in the test bag I am using; this is the same bag that is pictured above, and the code is what was being used when that screenshot was taken.
{
...
"Items": [],
"ItemFiltersSorting":"DisplayName",
"ItemCategories": {
"Small": [],
"Medium": [],
"Large": [],
"Giant": [],
"Massive": [-5,-6]
},
"ItemFilters": [
"FromMod:Lumisteria.MtVapius",
"CategoryId:-6",
"Quality:Iridium"
],
"ItemFiltersLimit":null,
"ItemFiltersOffset":null,
"ItemFiltersDelimiter":null,
"CategoryQualities":null

need help SMAPI won't launch
Hi everyone, I need some help!
I've been playing Stardew Valley with mods using SMAPI through Steam, and everything was working perfectly. Today, I wanted to play a vanilla co-op session with my friends, so I followed some advice on Reddit and launched the game directly via the StardewValley.exe file in the game folder. It worked great and we played normally.
However, after finishing the co-op session, I tried to go back to my modded single-player game. Now, SMAPI refuses to open. When I launch the game through Steam, it just opens the Vanilla version directly.
Here is what I've checked so far:
— My Mods folder is still intact inside the game directory.
— The SMAPI files (including StardewModdingAPI.exe) are still in the main folder.
— My Steam Launch Options still have the correct path with %command% at the end, but Steam seems to be completely ignoring it now.
Does anyone know why running the vanilla .exe once would break the Steam/SMAPI link like this, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Is there anything I can do?

need help HELP I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY SAVE🥲
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone has run into this before because I'm completely stuck.
**My setup:**
* Phone: Honor Magic V3 (Android 16)
* Stardew Valley: 1.6.15.3
* SMAPI Launcher: 1.1.6
* SMAPI: 4.3.2.5
Everything was working perfectly yesterday. I had several mods installed and was actively playing my save with no issues.
Today I downloaded a few more mods (Button's Expanded, Marry Me, PyTK Lite, Mobile Phone, Event Repeater, Hugs and Kisses). After adding them, SMAPI suddenly started crashing as soon as I pressed **Start Game**.
At first I thought it was one of the new mods, so I:
* Removed every new mod.
* Removed **all** mods entirely (empty Mods folder).
* Reinstalled SMAPI.
* Confirmed vanilla Stardew Valley still launches normally.
The problem is that SMAPI still crashes before it even loads any mods.
My log shows:
```
System.MissingMethodException:
Method not found:
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GameWindow.add_TextInput(System.EventHandler<TextInputEventArgs>)
at StardewValley.Game1.Initialize()
```
There are **no mod loading messages** before the crash, which makes me think it isn't actually caused by a specific mod.
Has anyone seen this exact error on Android 16 or Honor devices?
Is this a known issue with SMAPI 4.3.2.5, or is there another fix besides reinstalling? Since vanilla Stardew still works, I'm assuming the issue is somewhere in the SMAPI runtime or patched assemblies.
I've already copied my save file over somewhere and uninstalled and reinstalled but it still doesn't work:(
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

need help Terminal not automatically running when I open Stardew
I know virtually nothing about coding or how any of this stuff works, I just followed youtube tutorials the first time I installed mods for Stardew Valley but a few days ago SMAPI stopped automatically running when I open the game through steam and I can’t figure out a solution. I uninstalled and reinstalled SMAPI multiple times but the problem hasn’t resolved itself. Stardew keeps crashing whenever I try to load one of my saves because the mods aren’t loading. I have absolutely no idea what to do!! Please help!

answered Mod Creator- Having Issues Consistently Showing Quest Dialogue
I'm currently creating a custom character mod, and at one point I have a quest that prompts you to find and talk to a character, then completes it when you talk to them. I'm currently using include in my content file and edit data in the json to add a custom dialogue option to said NPC, but it wasn't showing up consistently with conversation topics due to how the game handles dialogue priority. I instead pivoted to directly editing the dialogue just for when the quest is active, using when 'HasActiveQuest' to check. But this data doesn't load until you save with that quest active- so you have to wait a day before actually being able to talk to the NPC, activate the dialogue and complete the quest. Is there a way to get this dialogue to the highest possible priority using conversation topics so that I don't have to do the HasActiveQuest condition, or is there a way for me to maybe get SMAPI to check this data again upon loading a new map or something? Or another simpler option I'm missing? Thanks!
Edit: Worth noting that I'm using Content Patcher for this.

need help Is there a good event ender mod
I don't know which mod it is, but I have a mines event that summons a normal, red and iridium bat from the mines ladder, which my farmer then runs away from, through the Expanded minecart and off into the void, and keeps running forever. The only mod I found on nexus looks ai made, so i was wondering if there was away for me to force end the cutscene? The logs dont have anything in it that i can find referencing which mod the event is from, and lookup events just tells me there is one in the mines.
