to be clear, with the steam version of SDV the modding api will launch automatically by just launching the game as normal. it's versions from other stores that need to be launched via the new EXE.
(Little late but just so if anyone is wondering, this is only IF you change your launch options to target the new EXE, otherwise it will just launch vanilla stardew.)
This was my first try downloading mods on stardew valley on my mac and it worked out perfectly! Thank you so so much for this detailed tutorial, those step-to-step instructions were really helpful
This was the clearest explanation if seen so far on here. I kept seeing an error when I tried to launch the game and finally I saw the correct way to install a mod for stardew valley thank you so much for the help.
after almost 6 hours of trying to add mods in my sdv, this is the one that truly helped me. thank you so much! i hope you make videos of mods that you love. hehe
OKAY SO, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH. You see, my friend is a bit special, he lacks brain cells, and since I use macOS, it's different for me. SO I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO SHOW HIM WHAT TO DO, AND IT WASN'T WORKING, AND THEN I CHECKED THIS VIDEO AND YOU JUST SHOWED ME HOW TO OPEN IT SO THAT IT WORKS FOR HIM, MA'AM, I LOVE YOU, THANK YOU
I can be kinda dumb when it comes to technology sometimes, but this tutorial was so thorough and straightforward that even I could do it. I really appreciate it, because I've always wanted to mod stardew valley since playing it for the first time on the nintendo switch. Thanks so much
omg!! this was so freaking helpful! i have watched a few videos on how to download mods for stardew valley and none of them have worked for me. (except for this one!!!!) thank you! PS. your voice is so pretty and soothing
Very great and simple to understand guide, thanks a lot this was a lot of help. I was struggling to figure out how the SMAPI and content patcher worked and this video was a huge help!
Hi, apparently the mods could not be added once i drag the overgrown flowery interface into mods folder. I did clicked the StardewAPI, but doesn't work.
Can you load in through the SMAPI version of it without overgrown flowery interface? If not then there might have been an issue with it installing -- you could try uninstalling it, then reinstalling it! Also if you haven't yet make sure your game is fully up to date as that can cause it not to work as well!
Im stuck at around 1:40 cause I have no idea how to unpack something. I've been using curse forge for all my other games and this is my first computer. I'm completely lost and confused.
I’m confused, because I followed the tutorial exactly, and tried out the interface mod, and it won’t work. I don’t know what I’ve done wrong. 😭 Edit:I fixed it ❤
@@FluffyBreadMuffin I switched to using Vortex and had some complications but got it to work. Now I'm having issues with my friend getting them. She has different errors. Probably going to spend my weekend trying to get them to work
Sorry, can anyone help me? I have done everything I was told and downloaded all the texture packs from Gwen as mentioned above, the shape of my map, house and trees remains the same, nothing has changed, only the UI has changed, did I make a mistake?
Because of the SMAPI 4.0.7 update I can’t open my saved file I uninstalled and reinstalled the newest SMAPI and followed the mod tutorial ( NPCmaplocation mod) yet I don’t see the mod every time I open the game- is it just me or the mod itself :(
I've honestly never tried -- I'd imagine if you just loaded up the game with it's normal .exe you'd have almost a fully vanilla game but you'd be dealing with mods still that are trying to load that won't work. Which might cause issues. I'd probably suggest just moving your mods folder out of your game folder, to some place like your desktop or another safe place, then launching through the normal .exe so SMAPI would still technically be installed but not in use and then the mods folder itself wouldn't try to use your mods! Then when you want to play with mods move it back into the game folder.
everytime i try and open it the smapi pop up says i cant run the game bc of the installer file?? but i cant just delete the file bc then smapi wont work someone help 😭😭
All of my mods are 1.6 compatible as the whole vid was made post 1.6. My mod list is super long and ever changing so I haven’t posted it anywhere yet but all the mods are on nexus!
thank you!! could you make an installation guide for dcburgers portrait mods? i have no idea why no dcburger files are working no matter what i try! T_T
No idea sadly -- however you can right click and run as administrator to see if that helps. You can also try downloading it directly from github to see if that fixes it (some are having firewall issues). You just need to download the SMAPI Installer -- here's the link! github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/releases/tag/4.0.8
so i downloaded both the content patcher and smapi and testing if they work using an interface just doesnt work, I've tried reinstalling different versions but unfortunately that doesn't work either, should i get in contact with the developers?
You could try a different mod with SMAPI, try installing the latest version from scratch? It's also worth noting that you can read your SMAPI screen (the additional screen that pops up) and see if it's giving you and warnings or errors and then search for the fix for those!
thank youuuu i was doing this by memory on my desktop and was like why won’t it let me into the stardew folderrrrrr! literally was missing one link lol
I’ve modded stardew before, and as i was updating my mod files my game was being super weird. I figured out that it was generic mod config that was causing a constant error message in the terminal, which is super frustrating bc like u said it’s super helpful :,) Do you have any idea why this is? I tried moving all the other mods out the folder and just ran it with the generic mod config one, and it was still doing the same thing. I tried reinstalling it too a few times. I’m a bit lost on what to do haha
If you haven't yet I'd try uninstalling SMAPI and then reinstalling it and content patcher to see if that helps. You could also try repairing your game and reinstalling SMAPI & content patcher after to see if that fixes it!
when i open up the window of smapi after launching it from the windows.bat file nothing appears besides the first line of text saying that its going to ask a few questions ive tried uninstalling both stardew and smapi to no success if anyone knows whats happening id appreciate some help ive pressed about every key on my keyboard trying to make it do something
is there a way to save the original files etc? i once had a gameplay with mods but my pc broke down. the whole game file is now broken and i had to delete it, so im asking
this happened to me! i somehow managed to fix it once i uninstalled everything and started fresh and followed this video tutorial exactly, if that still persists then i’m not sure! may just be a small mistake during installation!
I don’t know is my pc dosent work well the mod of overgrown flowery interface but I putted in the mod but when I enter at the game I don’t watched the interface l somebody could help ?
its my first time modding stardew, I have vortex but the only videos Ive seen dont use vortex on how to get it to work with steam everything is enabled but its not showing up in my game
I've never used Vortex to mod stardew valley so I cannot provide support. However it sounds like you don't have the SMAPI installed correctly that's needed for most mods to work.
I've never run into that issue so I'm not sure -- you could check the wiki to see if they have any information on it though! To follow up -- you could also try downloading it from the github link directly to see if it was nexus having an issue! Link: github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/releases/tag/4.0.8
I already downloaded stardew valley before knowing mods and I already have progressed a lot in my farm and I don't want to lose it all just for mods what do I do I still want mods for Sebastian 😭
Hey I'm pretty new to stardew and playing with mods in general, soo If I want to play the game with mods, I open it with StardewModdingAPI, right? But if I want to play the normal game again without mods, do I just have to start the normal game via steam or the stardew.exe?
In theory you should be able to but I've never done that before. If you wanted to be super safe, I'd suggest just moving the mods folder out of your game folder to somewhere safe, then running the game vanilla. Then when you want your mods back move it back in!
i'm sorry, but i'm having trouble with the portrait mods. somehow, i use pytk and it sure does named with the file of portrait i use when i pressed "p" but the picture didn't change. do you might know what to do with it?
I haven't used that mod but I believe it has special instructions for installing the portraits themselves, they might have to go into the folder or something like that. You can also download generic mod config menu to make sure everything is enabled correctly!
whenever i try and register for Nexus mods to download SMAPI, i am met with " ERROR Captcha challenge failed. Please try again. Need help or can't see the challenge? Troubleshoot login issues. " but i never was able to do the captcha because of this error, does anyone know how to fix it? (Windows 10)
omg i think im stupid and messed something up, after adding an interface mod to the mods file after doing everything, i got to opwn stardew modding api and it dosen't load. it open the screen for a millisecond then closes any help?
@@FoodThenGames I figured the issue out, if you try and transfer it to make it an app on your desktop it won’t load it, but if you try to load the api from the stardew folder itself it works, ty for the tutorial!
Help! I'm stuck at downloading content patcher. I've downloaded SMAPI but when i want to download content patcher it says i need to download SMAPI first.
On Nexus? Those are just to make sure you know it has a dependency you can just download content patcher by hitting "download" above the box with the mod requirement.
I did it. thank you. i love you. muah muah. i hope both sides of your pillow is cold and your toast never falls peanut butter or jam side down.@@FoodThenGames
@@FoodThenGames I wanna thank you- like a lot I super appreciate this video, I’ve never been able to really figure out modding and other tutorials didn’t really work for me, until today:) Thankyou for showing everyone how to do this^^
I'm not able to find the folder where Stardew Valley is, icluding where StardewModdingAPI should be, nor am I able to open the StardewModdingAPI. It's hard for me to find videos explaining this, mostly because it doesn't seem like a normal problem, but also because I don't have Stardew Valley from Steam, which often is used in the tutorials. Do you know how I can fix this?
The best way would be to search for "how to find exe (enter in name of your gaming client)" so like "how to find exe GOG" or "how to find exe Epic Games" and see if that helps!
Someone had mentioned that it auto works now - however in the wiki article I linked says you just have to change where steam launches from I believe to get it to work. So I'd read through that to see what it says to do!
@@FoodThenGames i changed the launch location and it tracks itself! the wiki said to download another client which confused me, but it works without it!
So what i gathered from the comments, if i dont use SMAPI as the launch option and it opens as the vanilla steam Version, i could still play with friends right? and then if i play alone and launch the game via SMAPI the mods work? i have not tried yet, maybe someone out here can help. EDIT: i am planning on fully modding my game, another tutorial said to put the option on steam to Launch it via SMAPI directly. i just want to avoid downlaoding all these mods and later regretting my decisions if i cant play with my friend whos not playing with mods and itsnt planning to.
I haven't tried just launching through the vanilla exe but I would think in part it might cause a few problems as your game might try to use the mods without being able too? The safest/best suggestion I have is to just remove your mods folder when you want to play vanilla or with friends and pop it back in when you want it modded! You can still leave SMAPI there and launch through vanilla but you'll ensure your game doesn't try to use mods or run into any potential bugs!
@@FoodThenGames oh, so i can just move the mods folder to idk my desktop and then launch the gam enormally through steam? i will try that with like 1 or 2 mods installed. thank you :)
I tried to install the "Overgrown Flowery Interface" but it didn't change the actual world. It changed menus, but it's hard to tell if it's meant to change the world. Do you know why that might be?
@@FoodThenGames Oh thank you! I really thought I did something terribly wrong. I love how your world looks!! Is that also a mod? Also also thank you so much for answering me!
You might need to repair your game and then try installing SMAPI again. At that point I'd then try loading in with just the SMAPI exe and make sure that all works before adding in any mods!
Did you double check that when installing SMAPI said that it was good to go? You could try reinstalling it to see if it shows up/to see if you're getting the all set message.

You can still leave SMAPI there and launch through vanilla but you'll ensure your game doesn't try to use mods or run into any potential bugs!
@@FoodThenGames oh, so i can just move the mods folder to idk my desktop and then launch the gam enormally through steam? i will try that with like 1 or 2 mods installed. thank you :)
I tried to install the "Overgrown Flowery Interface" but it didn't change the actual world. It changed menus, but it's hard to tell if it's meant to change the world. Do you know why that might be?
Flowery Interface is just an interface/UI mod so it won't change the world at all. Just your UI/Menus/Interface.
@@FoodThenGames Oh thank you! I really thought I did something terribly wrong.
I love how your world looks!! Is that also a mod? Also also thank you so much for answering me!
Thank you! I have a lot of mods that help me achieve the look of my game!
it keeps saying i dont have all the required files when i start up so what should i do?
You might need to repair your game and then try installing SMAPI again. At that point I'd then try loading in with just the SMAPI exe and make sure that all works before adding in any mods!
So I did all that and can't find the SmapiEXE thingy file anywhere????? How do I fix this
Did you double check that when installing SMAPI said that it was good to go? You could try reinstalling it to see if it shows up/to see if you're getting the all set message.
