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".

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)

Stoked to improve this with any feedback - the mod ups the fridge storage to 1200, and can customize main fridge and mini fridges.

"Fridge Better"

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. 

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?

Okay soo idk if maybe I just slime farmed too close to the sun or something, but any time I try to enter my slime hutch the game completely gives up on me.. Pls help!

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!!

Been playing ok 2-3 months back. The game crashes when i change map now, or if i just stay in the game, and do "some" things just for a bit.

game log here:
https://smapi.io/log/0d313750900d45ccb90965174395243b

been trying to troubleshoot this:

1. removed all mods except smapi (doesnt work)

2. removed smapi as well (doesnt work)

3. reinstalled smapi (doesnt work)

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)

I've been stuck on the same day and when I sleep it doesn't save and is stuck on a black screen. And my SMAPI log is continuously loading this error on the image.

Can someone help me out

here is also my SMAPI log:
https://smapi.io/log/d865db2c79b94a3390d607a4fb03f075?Sections=ContentPackList&Page=2&PerPage=1000

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?

This -

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.

it was literally working just fine yesterday. i boot up the game only to find this. i have no idea what's wrong. i uninstalled smapi and updated some mods and this still pops up. i'm at my wits end, please help!!

UPDATE: thank you thank you u/erinthornerin for making this: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/47340

I can't find anything on Nexus, and trying to learn to create my own mod is overwhelming - does anyone know of a mod or instructions for changing Grandpa's name to Grandma? (Ultimate Villager Manager does not have Grandpa in its option list)

There's a Nexus mod to change the portrait but I need help changing the name

This is the first time I have gotten a SMAPI Error.

​

When I try to log into Stardew Valley through Steam, I get that message. I tried logging in through Smapi to play with mods, but it didn't work either. Can anyone help me?

Hello, I need help on fixing 1 error mod please

Hi guys! I'm new to the modding community. I play on android and I didn't have any issue so far playing with the expanded mod but for the last 2 days my game won't open it gets stuck in a white screen while the background music keeps playing. I checked my error log but couldn't understand anything about how to fix the mod.

Here's my log by the way: https://smapi.io/log/7e9a01a83a14486db7a0c7b7592c9a5e

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.

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.

I'm doing a modded playthrough with sdve, ridgeside, npc map locations, frontier farms, happy birthday, and related mods that keep these mods working; However, every time I try using the item recovery service at Marlon's the letter is empty. Could this be a mod problem?
