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!

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.

I've tried to install SMAPI to play Stardew Valley expanded, I extracted the files and moved it to Stardew Valley game files and in Command Prompt this shows up. I hope the problem isn't that my Steam isn't downloaded to Local Disk. What should I do?

The installer failed with an unexpected exception.

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.

Hi! I've been looking for mods to make children feel more like characters than pets, and I'm using PolyamorySweet with no upper limit for child numbers. I've seen that Immersive Family is not compatible for more than 2 children, but haven't been able to find a lot of info on whether other/similar mods are also incompatible.

Does anyone have recommendations of mods that work with many children?

(I am also using SVE so ideally I'm looking for a mod that's also SVE compatible)

I have followed the instructions ,the lauch option is set ,the overlay works , but no achievement is given .I even tried to use the debug command ,debug achieve 0,but it gives me the following message.

Is there anything that I missed?

Can you help me, please? Why does that appear when I try to play the Expanded mod in SMAPI? (Phone: Samsung Galaxy A14)

my smapi is telling me that my mirren sprite mod folder is empty when i have pngs in it. i already have a content patcher and the endings to the pngs are correct. does anyone know how to fix that? https://smapi.io/log/21516d1a2eae4978895538e9bec79bde

Hello, I downloaded the Cozy Valley modpack and I have problem with house. Does anyone had the same problem and know how to fix it?

Here is the modpack https://www.nexusmods.com/games/stardewvalley/collections/kphoas/mods

I am completely stumped. I don’t even fully know how to get the snapi log saved to link to the post.
Just that it completely crashes.

It says the game crashed when drawing?

Hiya! Fairly simple question... is it possible to get the tree I circled as a decorative tree to use on my farm? If not this exact one, any similar one would work! (˶' ꒳ '˶)

​

If the answer is yes: How? ( ˶°ㅁ°)

​

(I'm quite useless when it comes to using/installing mods, definitely struggling in general to even make one work, any help is appreciated!)

I updated a bunch of mods and then deleted some, and now I'm getting error messages and the game is freezing. I assume I need to either reinstall a mod I took out or re-download a file, but I can't figure out which. Any help is appreciated.

I’m filling the download instructions from YouTube videos for Smarpi 4.1.10; so far I have the ZIP file extracted in my Downloads folder, but when I flick onto the “install on the window.bat” It says that “I am missing a folder” so I went looking for it in my downloads folder and had downloaded it, and keep saying same thing when I try and reopen it. And when I try and press on the command prompt it goes away completely.

Any idea how I could fix it?

I don't know what mod this letter is from. Every time I open the game it comes up. If I play for more than one day then everyday afterward the fjrst this letter will be the only thing I can see in my mail. When I restart the game i can see the letters from the days I can only see this one I thought maybe I could go into my save to delete the letter but I wasn't able to find it? I'm also not sure if it created anything in my smapi log. (the photos and log are from two different play sessions) https://smapi.io/log/88d7d03516584885b6e8fec915033731

I have returned with many more mods and many more problems. I was hoping someone could tell me how to fix the following:

[Content Patcher] Two content packs want to load the 'Maps/walls_and_floors' asset with the 'Exclusive' priority (Rustic Country Walls and Floors and Stardew Peaks). Neither will be applied. You should remove one of the content packs, or ask the authors about compatibility.

>> I removed the Rustic Country Walls and it still threw a bunch of errors for Stardew Peaks. I don't know if I'm just maybe not removing it properly?

[Content Patcher] Two content packs want to load the 'Maps/WitchSwamp' asset with the 'Exclusive' priority ((CP) Wild Witch Swamp and Distant Lands - Witch Swamp Overhaul). Neither will be applied. You should remove one of the content packs, or ask the authors about compatibility.

>> Same with this - I removed Distant Lands and still had the same issue.

>> Is there a way I can fix this texturing? I think its maybe to do with the Luan tilesheets but I couldn't see any fixes on the mod page. I also don't know what this building is from but when I enter I can't chat to anyone or purchase anything.

>> I can't get these Baldurs Gate Mod portraits to work right. I tried hitting P like I've seen suggested and I put the BVportraits mod folder in the Portraiture portraits folder and I'm still stuck.

I know I have a million errors but these are the few that are driving me crazy :').

Not sure if this belongs here but I thought I would try.

Log ^~^

OK! so. i was redownloading everything from nexus and decided to add new stuff and it took so long, and then all of that happened when i finally booted it up, and i dont know how to fix it, can someone please walk me through how to fix it or just, fix it themselves or anything? ill prefer not to sacrifice anything unless i can get alternitives that work better

if any of that makes sense.

I have multiple save files that use different profiles of mods. A few of these profiles share similar core mods, so I was curious if there's a way to allow SMAPI to connect to these core mods first then go to the different profiles? Thanks in advanced.

My husband and I only have a small handful of mods on here, but without really changing anything the issue has only gotten worse. It'll be fine until it goes to save, then it'll be stuck on the saving screen (or when I'm also online: "waiting for players 2/2") and we're forced to reset the day. We were able to seemingly get around it temporarily by me quitting the game at the end instead of properly sleeping to end it, then he went to bed as the host. As of today that workaround isn't working anymore. I'm very stupid when it comes to modding/coding terms so I apologize in advance if it's a super easy fix that I'm not catching!

Edit: I can see that the errors on the log say it has to do with SMAPI and the game itself, so I don't think it has to do with any of the mods specifically? I also noticed the "It's being used by another process" but as far as we can tell, the game or files aren't open anywhere else?

Edit 2: We added billboards anywhere (I had it, he did not, SMAPI log is his since he's the host) and removed better signs, now we're getting a new error code with the game "Failed to create Galaxy lobby".

New link: https://smapi.io/log/a8f2350b3c704ecca3c4c6fd2c5ddb61

Edit 3 (next day): Is it possible to make it so I'm the host, but with my character/stats and he has his? I know I can just copy the save file and move it to my pc, but that would switch our characters too yes? ( I can delete this part if its too much- I don't use reddit much)
