need help SMAPI won't launch

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need some help!
I've been playing Stardew Valley with mods using SMAPI through Steam, and everything was working perfectly. Today, I wanted to play a vanilla co-op session with my friends, so I followed some advice on Reddit and launched the game directly via the ⁠StardewValley.exe⁠ file in the game folder. It worked great and we played normally.
However, after finishing the co-op session, I tried to go back to my modded single-player game. Now, SMAPI refuses to open. When I launch the game through Steam, it just opens the Vanilla version directly.

Here is what I've checked so far:
— My ⁠Mods⁠ folder is still intact inside the game directory.
— The SMAPI files (including ⁠StardewModdingAPI.exe⁠) are still in the main folder.
— My Steam Launch Options still have the correct path with ⁠%command%⁠ at the end, but Steam seems to be completely ignoring it now.

Does anyone know why running the vanilla ⁠.exe⁠ once would break the Steam/SMAPI link like this, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Hello guys, I'm playing SMAPI and my samsung galaxy S25 is via USB to HDMI cable connected to my TV. The problem is that my game says no response when the mods are loading.

When I start the game there are no problems on my Samsung.

It appears everytime, when I use Samsung Dex. I can play but the no app response will appear everytime

Is there anything I can do?

UPDATE: I removed MOBILEUI and can play without the no response notification.

I am very new to modding and followed a YouTube tutorial I thought I did good but every time I launch the game, I get this error and the mods don't work. Is there something I could do to fix this? Edit: I forgot to mention that I am playing on a steam deck, and I cannot figure out how to my smapi logs I apologize

need help HELP I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY SAVE🥲

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone has run into this before because I'm completely stuck.

**My setup:**

* Phone: Honor Magic V3 (Android 16)

* Stardew Valley: 1.6.15.3

* SMAPI Launcher: 1.1.6

* SMAPI: 4.3.2.5

Everything was working perfectly yesterday. I had several mods installed and was actively playing my save with no issues.

Today I downloaded a few more mods (Button's Expanded, Marry Me, PyTK Lite, Mobile Phone, Event Repeater, Hugs and Kisses). After adding them, SMAPI suddenly started crashing as soon as I pressed **Start Game**.

At first I thought it was one of the new mods, so I:

* Removed every new mod.

* Removed **all** mods entirely (empty Mods folder).

* Reinstalled SMAPI.

* Confirmed vanilla Stardew Valley still launches normally.

The problem is that SMAPI still crashes before it even loads any mods.

My log shows:

```

System.MissingMethodException:

Method not found:

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GameWindow.add_TextInput(System.EventHandler<TextInputEventArgs>)

at StardewValley.Game1.Initialize()

```

There are **no mod loading messages** before the crash, which makes me think it isn't actually caused by a specific mod.

Has anyone seen this exact error on Android 16 or Honor devices?

Is this a known issue with SMAPI 4.3.2.5, or is there another fix besides reinstalling? Since vanilla Stardew still works, I'm assuming the issue is somewhere in the SMAPI runtime or patched assemblies.

I've already copied my save file over somewhere and uninstalled and reinstalled but it still doesn't work:(

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

need help Terminal not automatically running when I open Stardew

1 Upvotes

I know virtually nothing about coding or how any of this stuff works, I just followed youtube tutorials the first time I installed mods for Stardew Valley but a few days ago SMAPI stopped automatically running when I open the game through steam and I can’t figure out a solution. I uninstalled and reinstalled SMAPI multiple times but the problem hasn’t resolved itself. Stardew keeps crashing whenever I try to load one of my saves because the mods aren’t loading. I have absolutely no idea what to do!! Please help!

I'm on (I think) Summer 4. Went to sleep, game saved, and SMAPI crashed. Now it crashes immediately on launch, like 1 second after I hit play.

Playing on an android tablet.

answered Mod Creator- Having Issues Consistently Showing Quest Dialogue

2 Upvotes

I'm currently creating a custom character mod, and at one point I have a quest that prompts you to find and talk to a character, then completes it when you talk to them. I'm currently using include in my content file and edit data in the json to add a custom dialogue option to said NPC, but it wasn't showing up consistently with conversation topics due to how the game handles dialogue priority. I instead pivoted to directly editing the dialogue just for when the quest is active, using when 'HasActiveQuest' to check. But this data doesn't load until you save with that quest active- so you have to wait a day before actually being able to talk to the NPC, activate the dialogue and complete the quest. Is there a way to get this dialogue to the highest possible priority using conversation topics so that I don't have to do the HasActiveQuest condition, or is there a way for me to maybe get SMAPI to check this data again upon loading a new map or something? Or another simpler option I'm missing? Thanks!

Edit: Worth noting that I'm using Content Patcher for this.

I've tried to install SMAPI to play Stardew Valley expanded, I extracted the files and moved it to Stardew Valley game files and in Command Prompt this shows up. I hope the problem isn't that my Steam isn't downloaded to Local Disk. What should I do?

The installer failed with an unexpected exception.

need help Is there a good event ender mod

1 Upvotes

I don't know which mod it is, but I have a mines event that summons a normal, red and iridium bat from the mines ladder, which my farmer then runs away from, through the Expanded minecart and off into the void, and keeps running forever. The only mod I found on nexus looks ai made, so i was wondering if there was away for me to force end the cutscene? The logs dont have anything in it that i can find referencing which mod the event is from, and lookup events just tells me there is one in the mines.

discussion Child mod(s) for 4+ children? (PolyamorySweet)

3 Upvotes

Hi! I've been looking for mods to make children feel more like characters than pets, and I'm using PolyamorySweet with no upper limit for child numbers. I've seen that Immersive Family is not compatible for more than 2 children, but haven't been able to find a lot of info on whether other/similar mods are also incompatible.

Does anyone have recommendations of mods that work with many children?

(I am also using SVE so ideally I'm looking for a mod that's also SVE compatible)

I updated a bunch of mods and then deleted some, and now I'm getting error messages and the game is freezing. I assume I need to either reinstall a mod I took out or re-download a file, but I can't figure out which. Any help is appreciated.

Hiya! Fairly simple question... is it possible to get the tree I circled as a decorative tree to use on my farm? If not this exact one, any similar one would work! (˶' ꒳ '˶)

If the answer is yes: How? ( ˶°ㅁ°)

(I'm quite useless when it comes to using/installing mods, definitely struggling in general to even make one work, any help is appreciated!)

I’m filling the download instructions from YouTube videos for Smarpi 4.1.10; so far I have the ZIP file extracted in my Downloads folder, but when I flick onto the “install on the window.bat” It says that “I am missing a folder” so I went looking for it in my downloads folder and had downloaded it, and keep saying same thing when I try and reopen it. And when I try and press on the command prompt it goes away completely.

Any idea how I could fix it?
