Issue SMAPI Install error

[Chripp]

Hi! Whenever I'm trying to install SMAPI, this text comes up:

Oops, couldn't find the game automatically.

Type the file path to the game directory (the one containing 'Stardew Valley.dll'), then press enter.


How do I fix this?

The way I've found to fix this is to open up the properties tab of the Stardew Valley shortcut (assuming it's been made into a shortcut on your desktop) and copying the location. then right click in the SMAPI Installer to paste it and add

\Stardew Valley.dll

This should fix the issue!

It worked!

Thank you so much!

Just finished installing SMAPI and had this same issue. If you have Stardew on Steam then copy paste this into the Installer.

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Stardew Valley.dll

Cada vez que intento descargar smapi, no me deja.
Escriba la ruta del archivo al directorio del juego (el que contiene 'Stardew Valley.dll'), luego presione enter.
/Users/luciahierrezuelo/Desktop\Stardew Valley.dll

y he probado a pegar las ubicaciones de los archivos pero sigue sin funcionar, pero debe ser porque lo estoy probando en un mac

help!! :(

Might I suggest putting the install files directly into the mod or stardew valley folder? Also, the location should appear after you right click and select properties. Then I think its as simple as dragging over the text while holding left click. Hope this helped!

Edit: The reason I say put the install files in the folder is as it normally auto detects for me whenever I do this.

Hi, thanks for the screenshot.
You don't need to type out the Stardew Valley.dll part.

SMAPI just wants you to type out the folder location of that file. After doing so; SMAPI will verify the folder contains that .dll file itself.

If you go into Steam, right-click Stardew Valley. Then scroll to "Manage" -> "Browse Local Files".
It will open the game folder.
Is that the same path you're entering?
