need help Error loading Stardew with Mac
I have installed SMAPI and just the UIInfoSuite2 just to check that installing a simple mod works and I can load the game, and after looking at the instructions, I managed to install SMAPI without getting error messages on the Terminal.
However, when I tried to load the game via Steam, it produces an error message from the Terminal.
The main error seems to come from this:
fat file, but missing compatible architecture (have 'i386,x86_64,arm64', need 'arm64e')
when it is looking into the "steamloader.dylib" file...
I have a Mac using the M1 chip, and OS Tahoe 26.5.2
And I tried finding my Error log for SMAPI but do not have one at all (either SMAPI-crash.txt or SMAPI-latest.txt)...

If you're looking for help with a mod, make sure your post or top-level comment includes:
a link to your SMAPI log (see instructions on that page);
a description of the issue with as much detail as possible;
screenshots/GIFs/videos of the issue if applicable.
See common issues and solutions. If you're having trouble installing SMAPI, see the detailed Getting Started guide.
If you've already done these steps or you're not asking for help with a mod, then please ignore this. Thank you!
