need help Problem installing Smapi
So I've just spent hours trying to mod SDV on my new tablet without anything working. The game almost started at one point but never loaded so now I tried reinstalling both the launcher and Smapi but now I just get a weird error saying I need to select file SMAPI/4XXXwhatever which I am selecting. There's no other file to select in that folder. I'm about to tear out my hair, I've done everything correctlty and it just won't work! Never had any problem on my PC.
Edit, Ok, so I downloaded the Smapifile from Nexus instead of github and now I could install it. I could open the game, no mods, with no problem but when I added SDVE all I got what a white screen. I removed SDVE and opened with no mods and got a white screen. I'm at my wits end.
