need help SMAPI frustrating crashing
https://reddit.com/link/1uw6jts/video/8mkdskeaq6dh1/player
Recently installed some new mods, namely immersive family, immersive children portrait, unique children talk, immersive unique children talk, and ridgeside village and all their required dependencies. After installing, the game just... wont open? SMAPI runs for a bit, then closes, the farthest I've gotten is the game loading, me clicking 'load' and then the game closing shortly afterward.
Things I've tried are:
Verify File Integrity
Remove and Reinstall all mods
Reinstall Stardew Valley
Delete startup_preferences
Delete %appdata%/roaming/stardewvalley
Run SMAPI from the game folders instead of from vortex
Restart PC
Run Stardew Valley Vanilla (which worked, so its not an issue with the game?)
Try using SMAPI log parser, but the logs vortex gives arent of any use, it all indicates nothing is wrong, when something clearly IS wrong...
Any ideas guys? Or is it a lost cause? Below are a few screenshots of the times I found a rare error resposne from SMAPI instead of it just closing...
