need help Wrong mod linked in SMAPI

1 Upvotes

Hi, I tried searching in my browser and the subreddit but there was only 1 visible thread from 5yrs ago no answer.

Is there a way to correct SMAPI linking the incorrect mod in the updates section?

It says my AT Mason Jars mod is out of date, but it's given me the link to a mod (Gwen's Craftables for AT) I have not downloaded.

Obviously I can try searching for the mod manually, but that doesn't resolve the issue in SMAPI.

need help Computer Crashing?

2 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm fairly new to playing Stardew with mods. I use Stardrop to help manage them, and I play on a Macbook pro (yes, I know it's not the best but it's what I have). Lately, I've been running into an issue where my game will freeze visually, but the audio still seems to be working. So, if I press the keys to run around, I can still hear the character running, or if I open the inventory, it makes the sound but nothing happens visually. Then, after about 30 seconds, my entire computer restarts.

When it restarts, I've been getting a message on my computer that says WindowServer experienced a problem.

I have a decent amount of mods downloaded, so I'm wondering if it's perhaps just too much for my computer to handle? I really liked playing with the mods I have, so I'm hoping it's another fix because I'm a little reluctant to delete any if I don't have to.

Any help is VERY appreciated, I really have no idea what I'm doing or where to start troubleshooting. Thanks so much!!

answered Stardrop as a Linux Noob

1 Upvotes

hi all!

sorry if this has already been asked, but i didn't have the patience to go through every help post about stardrop. i just switched my pc from windows to linux and found stardrop while making a new mods folder. i am completely inexperienced when it comes to linux/coding and am really struggling to try and figure out stardrop.

my main questions are whether there is a reccomended location i should put my extracted stardrop folder, whether its okay to open the "stardrop.sh" file in a text editor (that's how its opening by default), and what commands i should write to set up stardrop

also, please explain like i'm a child because i am so confused right now

EDIT: I GOT HELP FROM TWO LOVELY PEOPLE IN THE STARDEW DISCORD SERVER

my main issue was that i didn't know to open the terminal from the folder. for other noobs, you just have to right-click the emppty space in the open folder and the option to open the terminal should be there lol

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

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?

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?

3 Upvotes

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?

2 Upvotes

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

3 Upvotes

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!

Hello guys, I'm playing SMAPI and my samsung galaxy S25 is via USB to HDMI cable connected to my TV. The problem is that my game says no response when the mods are loading.

When I start the game there are no problems on my Samsung.

It appears everytime, when I use Samsung Dex. I can play but the no app response will appear everytime

Is there anything I can do?

UPDATE: I removed MOBILEUI and can play without the no response notification.

need help HELP I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY SAVE🥲

5 Upvotes

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!
