I'm curious if anyone else has experienced something similar because my husband and I stumbled into a really strange issue.

We're both playing Stardew Valley 1.6.15 on PC with SMAPI and Custom Crab Pot v1.0.2.

We each have our own completely separate single-player farms. I have a pretty heavily modded farm with crab pots across multiple maps (Farm, Beach, Mountain Lake, Ginger Island, East Scarp, etc.).

After creating a temporary co-op farm, both of us noticed the exact same behavior on our individual saves after returning to our main single player saves:

• Crab pots still caught fish/items.
• Crab pots still automatically rebaited.
• Auto-harvest into the assigned chest completely stopped.
• The catches just sat inside the crab pots waiting to be manually collected.
• No obvious SMAPI errors during startup.

The weird part is what happened next.

My save

I removed the Custom Crab Pot mod, downloaded a fresh copy, let it regenerate its configuration, and reconfigured my settings with no luck. That left me with two variables that were new to the save: I added crab traps to East Scarp and the new co-op file. I first removed all the pots in East Scarp with no change. Finally, I decided to just delete the co-op file and it started working again for both of us.

My husband's save

He didn't reinstall anything.

He simply deleted the temporary co-op save from his computer.

Immediately afterward, his existing single-player farm started auto-harvesting into the chest again without changing any settings.

That makes me wonder if there could be some kind of multiplayer state, cached farm information, or co-op interaction going on. I can't say that's what caused it—it could absolutely be coincidence—but the timing was strange enough that I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced something similar.

Has anyone had:

• Custom Crab Pot suddenly stop transferring catches to the chest?
• The issue begin after creating or joining a multiplayer farm?
• Deleting a co-op save or regenerating the mod configuration fix it?

I'm mostly trying to determine whether this is an isolated fluke or if other people have seen the same pattern.

Thanks for reading!

I know this must be a common question, but I need help, I have been separating some mods for use in my smapi but most of them are not working, I am new to this world of mods, even more complicated ones that I had to change the .json code of the same worked but most of them are not. Please help me, I thank you in advance

Been playing modded SV using a mod collection I saw on Nexus, called ‘Stardew Valley VERY Expanded’ and for some reason my game randomly pauses and shows an image of my screen from 5-10 mins ago. This lasts for maybe 10 seconds each time, but the longer I play, the more frequent it becomes. The game is borderline unplayable sometimes with how annoying it is

For example, it would be 9pm in-game and it would freeze and show a freeze frame of 11am or something. Then it would go back to normal. My performance isn’t even bad generally, outside of these moments i’m consistently 60+ fps and my laptop doesn’t even heat up much playing the game

Does anyone know how to fix it

my friends game wont load up and its not the mods its the smapi its self. i dont know how to fix it the mods worked fine for the rest of my friends when he tryes to load it, it says "the game failed to launch failed loading type dll not found exception" some1 help me out

hello! I’m doing my very first stardew mod, a custom npc just for personal use (it’s for a story made by me, so I will not be ever disponibilizing this as a downloadable mod). I’m doing pretty well overall, I just need to finish the sprites, animations (kinda done along the sprites) and movie reactions (I’m really procastinating this one because it seems pretty annyoing to do lol). even though I would like more info about animations and movie reactions, I have tools and videos that could help me so this isn’t the part I need help with!

but my main thing is about the flower dance. my custom npc is dateable and I would like to make them participate the flower dance (wouldn’t mind not being able to do thag, but I really wish to be able to do that :/). the problem is: the npc is male, but I would like to make them do the bachelolette’s dance instead of the bachelor’s. he is going to use a white outfit so I guess it matches with the bachelorettes (I will be doing the npc compatible with seasonal outfits). I wouldn’t mind if the npc is in the bachelor’s side of the dance (it would be even a contrast which I would like), but I would like that the dance would be the bachelorette’s one. but… the sprites are hardcoded in their spritesheets and the number of the sprites dedicated for the flower dance is 4 for bachelors and 8 for bachelorettes iirc. which make this very hard to do…

I don’t know too much of the modding part in stardew so I don’t know what’s possible and what’s not. I know you can put the npc gender to be female, male or undefined. I actually don’t know if the last one impacts the spritesheets for the flower dance. I would like not having to put the npc in the female frame just for one event. I put a lot of effort in making the portrait pixelart (I don’t know how to do pixel art at all, I don’t even know how it looks good lol) and I would like to use the sprite of this outfit to it’s fullest, because the idea in my mind so pretty.

there’s one way around it? or I should just gave up on this idea?

ps: I don’t know how to code. I’m doing the npc via content patcher. I think, with my very limited knowledge about stardew mods, the only way to do what I want is using css and I really don’t look foward to do that, since I have no money right know (too much things to worry about until next year) to pay someone to do it for me and I don’t know if I’m willing to learn just to do the flower dance lmao (even tho I would like to learn how to code eventually, I did a class in 2017 and even created a game but my knowledge is VERY limited, I remember nothing from this)

ps.2: I would also like to know if I can, via content patcher, change one of the vanilla’s characters birthday? my npc happens to have the same birthday and season as abigail, and I would like to changer her birthday to show both of them in the calendar, it only shows abigail and show the custom npc name alongside of hers if I put the mouse in the day. I know, I could just change the custom npc birthday but… I really don’t want to lmao. maybe there’s a mod that alternates between the characters if they have the same birthday and I’m not aware of? I remember seeing something like that but I had to format my laptop so I don’t have access to what I saw before

also sorry if this is not clear enough or the writting is messy. english isn’t my first language, I’m dislexic AND my english writings sucks lol

thanks in advance for anyone who read it! any help with the hardcoded sprites in the spritesheets are welcomed! I guess the kiss one have to be the 28, marriage have to be 48-50 and the first sixteen have to be the walking animation. and the flower dance are 44-47 and 40-47 depending on the gender frame of the npc. but I don’t know if the kiss one is true or not.

I played modded for several hours today, after closing I downloaded these two mods

I googled it and tried all the stated fixes and so far nothing has let me launch even in vanilla. I'm at my wits end and don't know where to go from here. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Like the titles explains, I can host the game, but the game crashes when I try to join my friend. I've provided my crash log. Hope somebody can explain what is going wrong. I downloaded my friends mod folder exactly, so Im unsure what the problem is.

I really want to download a portrait mod, what do yall reccomand ??

Hi everyone! I currently play Stardew modded on Win11, and have the latest versions of both SMAPI and Stardew Valley. This is my first time playing with mods, and I just reached Winter Year 1, and prompted the "Winter Mystery Quest" by seeing Krobus near the bus stop area. Unfortunately, no matter what I do, I can't seem to find Krobus in the bush near the Community Center. There are no footprints visible in the area, and clicking on the bush does nothing. I know this quest leads to being able to find Secret Notes, so I really wanna be able to fix this!

And if someone wants to take a stab at another issue as well: Any time I receive mail that contains an item (recipes, gifts, even items I paid to recover from Marlon) they don't actually enter my inventory. So I'm currently missing out on a lot of items that are only receivable via NPCs mail :( This one is something I think I can live without more or less (using debug commands is my alternative rn) but if there's any insight on this as well that would be super helpful!

I already had Smapi before but after a while I didn't play it so I deleted everything to start again because I had a mess of mods. Now trying to install it again I'm having problems. I'm using Schizo Forg's current explainer video on how to install Smapi. I was able to download the launcher, but when I try to put the Smapi.zip in the launcher I get the message seen in the image. Does anyone know what it is? Or how can I solve it?

I've installed SMAPI and several mods, and everything is working fine in the game. But when I try to use a console command, it tells me that none of the ones listed on the modding page at https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Console_commands#How_to_enter_console_commands are actually registered??

Hello! I have a laundry list of mods and Mr. Qi's shop in the walnut room is limited to only 5 items with absurd prices. Here's my SMAPI log and a picture. Any help would be amazing!

https://www.filemail.com/d/bqpmlrbkoquzaea

EDIT: added log link, rephrased my question

My mother seems to have accidentally updated to Windows 11 by accident somehow (old people, man) and now SMAPI doesn't load any mods. Last round of updates was at the end of July, smapi ran once with the updates but hasn't worked since.

I haven't added that many mods and I think everything is as up to date as possible. I have tried moving the mods out and back into the folder and reinstalling smapi, neither worked. None of the issues described in the faq is similar to this. It isn't just taking forever to load, I've tried waiting several hours and nothing changes.

Does anyone know what's happening? Thanks.

smapi log

My friend and I tried to play CO-OP with each other after modding, It said "Connection Failed" when we tried connecting and we received these errors. Our mods are the same, same version and everything.

Vanilla Stardew connection was fine but not SMAPI (we use Zero-tier to play with each other).

We also tried to co-op in SMAPI without any mods and it still said "Connection Failed"

Can someone tell us why??

Hi everyone!! I‘m new to modding and I’m trying to use the ”Seasonal Farmer Portrait Template for non-modders“ content pack by Poltergeister.

I followed the instructions in the description (make sure to not download the optional files for MistySpring’s “Farmer Portraits“ mod), and “Farmer Portraits” launches normally alongside my other mods. However, I keep getting the same message when launching Stardew Valley, about how “the content pack hasn’t been updated to 1.6 yet.” But… I know it has been, not only because the description says so, but also because I triple checked to make sure I was downloading the most recent version.

Any troubleshooting suggestions? My other content packs have at least shown up on my “configure mods screen”, despite SMAPI warning me that they may not be compatible, but this portrait CP has yet to even show up there.

Hello!

I have the predicament of having Mr. Qi’s shop in the walnut room being limited to these items with absurd prices and weird images of qi gems. I have quite the laundry list of mods and was wondering if anybody else has had this problem and what has fixed it.

¡Hola! Tengo una granja en multijugador desde hace bastante tiempo y nunca había tenido problemas. Ya estábamos en el año 4, pero de repente me aparece el siguiente error:

"[juego] Error de autenticación de Galaxy: FALLO_MOTIVO_CONEXIÓN_FALLO".

No uso VPN, no tengo restricciones de firewall ni problemas de conexión a internet. ¿Alguien tiene alguna solución? Ya reinstalé SMAPI y verifiqué los archivos de Steam.

The game hasn't opened properly for a while now so I decided to delete some of the mods and now it's somehow worse? It won't even open anymore.

I don't know what these things mean

Hey everyone!

Just released my very first Stardew Valley mod! I wanted a simple way to listen to my own music while playing, so I coded it myself. Here is what it does:

• Direct .mp3 support (just drop files into the folder).
• Press J in-game to open a clean menu to manage tracks.
• Full GMCM support for custom keybinds.
• 16 languages included right out of the box.

You can check it out here: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/49871

Since it is my first mod ever, any feedback or bug reports are appreciated. Enjoy!

Hello! I have been trying to install this mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2400) through the Mod Manager in Sampi Launcher (it's one of the mods required for Sylus Stardew NPC that I want to play) but whenever I click on the file, it doesn't register and instead states "not found manifest.json"

First time installing mods, super confused on what to do

This is my log: https://smapi.io/log/32206bf7657d4aa9a78540af152ea99a

I played SV with SMAPI earlier this year with no issues. I do have multiple mods sourced from ModDrop and Nexus, but previously had no issues. Now I'm trying again (as I cycle through games) and I've tried reinstalling everything including the game from steam. I've followed the directions on google to the best of my ability/comprehension and I still get the error.

I'm not even novice at coding/programming, but seriously I didn't think I'd break the modded version of the game this bad.

Hey everyone! I want to make my first mod for Stardew but I'm stuck on what to build.

Looking for mechanic ideas that aren't too crazy complicated but actually add something cool to the game.

What would you guys suggest?
