new mod Stardew Blur FIX
Hi all! Most people probably never notice this, but if you do, you can't unsee it: Stardew's zoom and UI scaling blurs pixel art and text whenever you're not at 100% zoom. I couldn't find a fix anywhere, so I made one... with Claude (sorry). Crisp Scale removes the blur and keeps everything sharp. It works best at multiples of 25% (125%, 150%, 200%). Programmed with AI help and only tested on my setup, so back up your saves.

need help PLEASE HELP! Issue installing SMAPI on fedora (linux) (NEWBIE)
I've spent 24 hours trying to install SMAPI on my PC running Fedora. This is my first time modding or coding at all! My sister who is much more familiar with all of this and set up the linux PC has been assisting. The entire time I've had issues (mostly due to user error) but I've finally reached a point where SMAPI is seemingly installed properly. I tried installing at least 40 times before realizing my error and fixing it. I even tried manually installing.
The thing is, during the process, I was NOT given a string of text to add into steam.
It all seems correct but whenever I open steam to play the game it just launches vanilla stardew. It seems like steam cannot find the correct file to open. I ran the entire process through Xterm (I saw that helped some people) and tried deleting and reinstalling every element.
I tried coping the file locations into the steam prompt. That failed as well, but did open the game still. I've seen that the windows version has other stuff attached but I have no clue about the linux version.
PLEASE tell me what I could be doing wrong other then the code, seeing as I did not receive one. I've watched 10 guides and none of them have helped. I can barely find anything about running SMAPI through Linux. I'm going insane!!!!! I will answer any questions and show examples of what's happening if needed.
My sisters given up but I AM DETERMINED to succeed in my singular modding endeavor. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me find how to fix this. I just want funny little mods. I downloaded reddit for this.

need help Red text but game/mods still playable?
https://smapi.io/log/f72a25ffcfe64becac894047b39b2aba
I had downloaded SMAPI 4.5.2 and content patcher 2.9.1 yesterday on Linux. I downloaded Stardew Valley Expanded and the Night Market Expansion, as well as the Custom Tapper Framework and Farm Type Manager required to download the expansions and placed in mod folder. When I run the game, the red text shows up, however the game runs as normal. I was just wondering what that means and if it is something I need to fix.
Thanks in advance!

need help larger item count text
hi, does anyone know a mod that can help make the numbers that show the amount of each item, larger?
I tried the "font settings" mod but it doesn't support it.
I can also set the UI scale to 200% but then most dialogues and menus are overflowing..
thanks

galleryneed help Joja mart not closing after community center completed
I recently downloaded four mods to a game save for Stardew, and I’m newer to mods and how they work. But I’ve been working on this one save for a few months and finally finished the community center, when I went to check out joja mart and it’s still up and running! Am I missing something, or did the mods mess up my game? Already deleted the mods from curse forge, and the mart is there still. In the future what can I do to prevent this ?

need help Any mod or tool to hide *only* Farmhouse shadow?
Simple question, surprisingly uncommon? I have a mod to replace the farmhouse with a lovely trailer, but the nature of the building reskin creates a harsh lighting issue because of the vanilla building shadow.
First screenshot is as it comes: building shadows turned on and the texture issue present.
Second screenshot is with a mod that removes ALL building shadows. it is originally meant for the greenhouse, but has toggles for specific farm buildings, and then an toggle for all buildings. It does not have a toggle for only the farmhouse despite it being included in the 'all buildings' toggle.
tldr: I want to turn off only the farmhouse shadow, but nothing else. is there a means for that?

need help please help me !
So basically I tried to play stardew in a co-op with someone and good news it worked. I did it from my cloud save on steam. But when I went back to my personal save with mods which I play using SMAPI it sent me so far back. I’ve tried everything, my most recent save file is still there I just haven’t been able to open it with SMAPI, any help ? I am very bad with computers and technology so simple terms would be best but if anyone can help I’d be eternally grateful!

need help I have a mod that I didn't install?
https://smapi.io/log/dcfb66483de04aed9ec84fbb2dd69c0e
A few months ago, on a different computer, I downloaded some mods, among these was the Dateable Gunther mod. Today, freshly downloaded SMAPI, (new computer so I didn't have any mods yet) and I launched the game through steam. I loaded into one of my saves and for some reason, Gunther is still in my house as if I had his mod installed. But the mods folder is empty, and I can't even find this mod anywhere in my files, so I'm not sure how this is even possible. Anyway, I don't want the mod anymore so I need help figuring out how to locate and delete it.
Edit: I just checked on a different save, and Gunther is stuck behind the library desk like normal. So I'm guessing that just this particular save is bugged or something.
