hi, I've noticed nobody commented on your thread yet and wondered if you've fixed this issue since. this happened to me today after I deleted a mod it changed something in the save code and I found this process really confusing but after a while but finally got it in the end. I did follow this process in the Reddit thread, which was explained very weirdly, so I will try to explain it a bit better.
there is no need to delete or reinstall any mods that affected this!
this happened to all the shoes I had btw!
basically, it is different whether you are on Linux, Mac, Windows etc., I am on a Mac.
1. go into wherever you search to find a particular folder as mentioned in...
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Windows (for all platforms)
2. you look for your saved world that had been affected by these horrible red shoes and I changed the code in
SaveGameInfo file as well as the
World file (these are not the old saves)
3. use the search system once you've opened both those files and search for
indexInColorSheet and it should take you to one of the shoe(s) affected
4. the little number next to the
indexInColorSheet>(number)< should be a 0 (red) if it were affected by a mod, to know the colours of all the shoes I've mentioned a link at the bottom of this info :)
5. if the number next to the
indexInColorSheet is not a 0 and is the correct number but still showing up as a bright red you need to play the current day with the bright red shoes on, I know it's annoying but this is how you troubleshoot it. once you've saved the day, close out of Stardew Valley and go back into your
SaveGameInfo and
World file to once again change the
indexInColorSheet>0< to the correct number. it should now be a zero since it was a new save!
hope this helps C:
