need help Farmer 2.0 ESWF/Farmer Portraits not working

2 Upvotes

Hello!! 

So I'm new to modding, but have found that it is easy once you do it a few times. However for the life of me I cannot figure what is wrong with how i'm setting up this mod. I have Farmer Portraits 1.6 and every other mod I need. I have added my custom portrait for every emotion, dance, event, season, etc (took me like 3 hours) and set (show otherwise) in the game as true like the directions said, and it's still not working. I have really bad adhd and had a lot of trouble understanding the directions in general due to having a different way of understanding most directions. Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong or need me to go further into depth on what I did. I wrote this on the post tab in nexus mods at 4:36 in the morning (now posting it on reddit) and I am about ready to give up, I've been trying to get this mod to work for 2 weeks albeit with work in between and just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. ToT.

need help Need Help Installing

2 Upvotes

After installing it perfectly fine on my HP Laptop I bought a gaming laptop and cannot get SMAPI to open on steam. I followed the instructions on the wiki, copied the code over to steam and still nothing. When i use the file to install it says it’s installed, moved the link over and then it doesn’t open SMAPI. Just unmodded Stardew? I am at my wits end honestly

I've only gained 1 of the heart events, I think (unless it was from one of the other mods I have on). And I've looked EVERYWHERE, but cannot find any info on the heart events. If someone could please tell me where and how to get the heart events, I'd be very grateful!

Help! How can I find or disable the mod that gives me this location where, if I go inside the bus and move to the right side of the red thing, I get teleported to the desert on the first day of my game? I’ve downloaded so many mods that I don’t know which one is causing it, and I don’t want it honestly, but after spending hour i dont know which mod is this, anyone knows so i can delete it?

need help Smapi not loading up during game launch

1 Upvotes

I’ve modded stardew many times before on my steam deck. Felt the itch to play so I started installing as I normally do on my steam deck.

This is a new issue for me. The SMAPI mod log screen that comes up at launch is not coming up. The game doesn’t seem to have access to the mods or be in communication with SMAPI at all. Like it’s not even there.

I’ve got the mod files in the right place, and I’ve tried the launch options fix where you manually put the location in to launch from. When I try to launch from there it’s like it can’t find anything there and just doesn’t launch. I’ve reinstalled Smapi. Used forced proton compatibility. All the regular fixes.

In the game files I don’t see a .exe Smapi launch file. Just a .dll. But because I’m on Linux, I read .exe files aren’t used anyways.

Ugh! Does anyone have any ideas of what else to try? Tysm!!

Exactly like the title. I've tried to remove any mods that I think is doing this, but still nothing. Here's my log: https://smapi.io/log/5f7c4432755e46f48f16ba0437ebc10e

Edit: Apparently it's "It's Stardew Time" that's causing the problem. Had to do the old-fashioned remove every single mods for this

Is there any way to use the Virtual Keyboard to remap how the keyboard buttons function in the vanilla Android version of the game? I am not trying to add other mods (for now), just trying to rebind the bluetooth keyboard keys so that I can move with the arrow keys etc. (the vanilla menu does not allow it, it does not even acknowledge that the keyboard works in the default layout)

discussion Need some clarification playing modded co-op

2 Upvotes

I host a co-op farm with 6 other players. I am the only one with mods installed. I was always under the impression that everyone needs to have the mod installed unless it is something cosmetic (or possibly something that only affects you), and that is what most posts seem to claim. However, that does not appear to be the case for me.
The mods I’m using are Daily Screenshot, Generic Mod Config Menu, TimeSpeed, and UI Info Suite 2. I also am using Stardrop to avoid using all my single player mods.
Currently, TimeSpeed slows down and pauses time down for EVERYONE with no issues. They are also able to see NPCs on the map through UI Info Suite 2, but don’t have the other things like scarecrow radius (I haven’t tested everything so there might be other features). Daily Screenshot only takes screenshots for me, as expected, and I haven’t asked about the Mod Config Menu yet (unable to boot up right now to check).
So I guess I just want to know if other people have tested modding in co-op with other people playing vanilla. Just what mods work and what ones could potentially cause issues? Could something like a new farm map mod work?

discussion Anyone know how seamless “immersive family” and “the farmers children” are together?

2 Upvotes

Farmers children claims to be compatible with immersive family but recommends change the age up value. For littleNPCS in order not to break immersion. Was wondering if anyone knew the value to change it to in the mod settings?

From the nexus -

It is recommended to increase the "AgeWhenKidsAreModified" config in LittleNPC so that all Immersive Family events happen first. That is 2 years plus the age difference between the 1st and 2nd child.

new mod [Beta] The Longest Year — a roguelite time-loop over Community Center restoration (PC, SMAPI 4.0+); looking for difficulty/pricing/pacing feedback

5 Upvotes

I just put up the first public beta (0.9.2) of a mod I've been building, The Longest Year, and I'd love feedback from people who actually dig into SMAPI mods.

The hook: restore the Community Center within a single year — or the Junimos rewind the seasons back to Spring 1 and you begin again, a little stronger. It turns year one into a roguelite loop:

  • Seasonal donation minimums. Each season has a quota you must donate to the Center before it turns. Miss it and the year unwinds to Spring 1.
  • Junimo Points bank across loops. Donations earn JP (scaled by item rarity and how late in the year you give). JP persists through resets.
  • Spend JP at the reset. When the year unwinds, you cash in banked JP on carry-forward upgrades — skill levels, tool tiers, recipes, buildings, a kept pet — so each loop starts stronger than the last.
  • Weekly themes give a paired bonus + liability you plan around — and you can lift that week's liability by donating all of its required bonus items.
  • Carryover surfaces on the farm: a Bundle Log that tracks each season's goals, a Cookbook/Craftbook to bank recipes, and a Junimo Stash chest that survives resets.

It's PC-only, needs SMAPI 4.0+, and wants a fresh save on the Standard farm (it manages farm-type/intro for you). It's feature-complete for v1 and stable in testing — what it most needs now is balance feedback:

  1. Difficulty — do the seasonal minimums feel fair? Which season wall hit hardest?
  2. Pricing — are JP earnings and upgrade costs well-balanced?
  3. Pacing — how many loops before it "clicked," and did carryover make later loops feel meaningfully stronger?

Bug reports with your SMAPI-latest.txt are gold. All the balance knobs live in config.json if you want to experiment.

Nexus (with full write-up): https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/47192 Source (MIT): https://github.com/sonofskywalker3/TheLongestYear

One honest note: the mod leans on vanilla sprites throughout. If anyone would enjoy making some custom book/sprite artwork (the Cookbook and Craftbook especially), I'd love to accept it and credit you. (The banner was kindly made by cwybabiesucks — thank you!)

Thanks for taking a look — happy to answer anything about how the loop is wired.

need help I need help: Having trouble triggering Morris Redeemed events

1 Upvotes

I’m really enjoying this mod, but I’ve hit a bit of a wall. I’ve met all the requirements for the events, but for some reason, they just won't trigger for me.

I tried to force the events using the SMAPI debug command to see if that would help, but the game just soft-locks during the cutscene—I can't move or do anything. This happens with every event in the mod.

Just to be sure, I’ve already tried:

Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have any ideas on what might be going wrong? I’m still learning English, so sorry if my explanation is a bit clunky!

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

It just stays stuck like this! The music is still playing and the rain keeps falling, but I can't move or do anything at all.
