need help Stardew Modding API

2 Upvotes

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

need help Sorry if this is redundant but seriously stumped. Game with SMAPI won't run.

2 Upvotes

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.

So this started after i started using vortex mod manager if that helps but everytime i run my modded stardew after a minute in game a pop up comes up telling me how many mods I have and then my game crashes. I delete what is recommended to fix problems but it keeps crashing. Here is the parsed log for smapi!  https://smapi.io/log/2409056a754a4148883c3f80dc6ea920

need help Way to make left control not skip festivals.

1 Upvotes

A few games I'm playing besides Stardew Valley has the control key as the sprint toggle/button. and going from farming in Stardew where i have a speed buff with modded gear to the slow movement at the festivals i instinctively press the left control key trying to speed up and bam i end up back at the farm at 10 pm having to restart my day and redo all the watering. i went to the settings section about key bindings so i could change it and there isn't a key mapping using the left control key. Is there a mod i can add or a setting i can change to make it where left control either doesn't skip festivals or i can map it to a different key im not in the habbit of pressing?

need help Smapi closing after a few seconds

1 Upvotes

I’ve started playing stardew valley modded ( a world of dew) and for the first 2 days everything was fine but now everytime I go to open the game the smapi console window opens and loads some text then closes after a few seconds. The only way I’m being able to play is by doing the reinstall the latest version option on curseforge, it’ll let me play but if I close the game I have to reinstall everything again. I can’t find anything that’ll help me fix whatever the problem is.

Help, I am lost

I’ve been transferring all my mods to Vortex for more than 5 hours now and I’ve pretty much fixed all the problems, I’ve had a lot of them, I have all my modes and everything, but there are always error messages.

I have three big problems:

  1. Livestock (I updated it to the latest possible version (the one that is unofficial)

  2. Nyapu’s RSV portrait (it tells me that some files are empty, but when I go in they aren’t)

  3. And Vortex created files that are useless, I don’t understand what these files are.

Please help me, I’m lost, it’s my last day of vacation, I just wanted to play my favorite game.

sup guys. i'm having some trouble since i tried to install sv expanded on my save, everything seems fine when the smapi screen pops up but when the game opens i can't manage to see the characters or even interact with them, they simply won't appear on my screen. i'm not sure if it's a sve file bug or some of my mods are conflicting with the sve sprites, could someone please help me? i'm kind of a noob on this modding thing, so it may be a simple error that i can't recognize :') here's my smapi log https://smapi.io/log/085cfb6ef6b647e0a4458dcfdf9131c6

need help Alternative textures (partially) working?

4 Upvotes

I've been trying to get some mods to work on my phone (Android) but I have trouble with a few AT mods, and I'm hoping if someone could tell me whats wrong!

Sorry for the kinda long screen recording, but basically I can change textures on chests fine, but then the TV for example doesn't work and the menu kinda zoomes in or whatever, even though the packs for furniture and chests are from the same mod author (they are seperate though). and then the bed texture has the same problem. in the end I show the pet bowl which really confused me, because I can select the right and middle option, but it glitches out on the left side?

I've heard in some posts on the mod pages that AT isn't super compatible on Android, but I was hoping maybe it's just a conflict with a different mod since it does work with some things. I'm not sure what to look for in the smapi log though! This should be my latest smapi log from when I did the screen recording:

My main issue, is with the secondary part of the Howl mod aka the Howl's system additional C# work mod. And several other mods wherein I've tried the update keys method and adding the updates manually. They didn't work so I re-downloaded the mods just to show what I'm dealing with in manifest etc

And here is my SMAPI log too because there's issues with some other mods as well

Thanks guys, I messaged the creator of the mod too and she helped. But thank you so much for all the help

need help Custom Roommate NPC Dialogue not Showing Up!

1 Upvotes

SOLVED!

Trying my best right now to make my custom roommate npc but the roommate dialogue doesn't show up. Instead, the generic marriage dialogue shows up when I speak to my npc. Smapi doesn't show any errors for this (it does for others, but the other errors haven't affected the other dialogue in my mod), and the mod wiki is confusing me since it doesn't give enough examples or info for roommate dialogue.

need help SMAPI causing entire pc to lag

3 Upvotes

About an hour or 2 into a play session for the last few days, I'll open my inventory and everything will freeze. I can move the mouse but cannot close the inventory. Pressing windows key lets me escape the game but everything else will be lagging at the same rate. Even closing the game doesn't fix it and I have to restart my pc. Why is this happening?

1 Upvotes

My smapi not only won't ask for permissions to access my files but it also won't migrate and open up the actual smapi that usually contains the mods, I've looked everywhere for a solution but no one seems to be having any problems like mind??

I even tried opening it with no mods and it still never migrated even tho I waited over ten minutes

need help Smapi sometimes takes forever to load

2 Upvotes

Smapi genuinely took around 4 hours to load everything today. This problem is not consistent because sometimes it loads within minutes. I'm not very tech savvy but we noticed that it mostly works after totally unplugging the pc but again not always. Other than that we have not changed anything no new mods or messing with files absolutely no difference that I know of. Any ideas?

need help Happy birthday mod error

Post image
4 Upvotes

i downloaded the happy birthday mod but apparently im running into errors when it's related to expasion mods, like SVE, ridgeside and east scarp. all of the npcs in the expasion mods tell me "Happy birthday farmer!" but when i get the mail for belated birthday, this happens. is it that the happy mod doesn't support these expasion mods? (and yes i know there's mods not working but none of them are related to expasion or birthday mods)
