Solved Need help - Old Save State in Danger :(

Sunshinegirlie · Apr 5, 2022

Hey guys,

I hosted a farm for me and my girls and now we cannot play anymore. I deleted my old mods, but it seems there are still some ruins left behind...
I really would like to remove the mod data. Can anybody help me please?

As mentioned from the other thread. I'm following up now.

So yea, the error is due to having custom NPC data; in this case from SDV Expanded. But, no longer running the mod.
If you'd like to continue un-modded; send me your save and I can help remove the data.

Location of Save: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Find_your_save_files

Sunshinegirlie · Apr 11, 2022

I don't know which data you really need, so i put all of them in one Zip.
Thank you so much for helping!

MysticTempest · Apr 11, 2022

Thanks, sending the whole folder & files makes things quicker.
I removed the 2 main NPCs that cause crashes, and now it loads up in-game just fine for me.

So, you should be good to go.
You can just delete the copy in your Saves folder, and then extract my edited version there.

Sunshinegirlie · Apr 11, 2022

Oh my God... Everything is working again.. Thank you soooo much! You are gorgeous.

Sunshinegirlie · Apr 19, 2022

Okay, we played for a week now and we got just one more issue with the game crashing: Everytime we want to do a job of the special orders board in front of Lewis house, we get a task from "Sophie", a NPC from one of my old mods. We cannot skip it, because the game crashes as soon as we accept this task. Can you tell us how to fix this? Can you help? Thanks a lot in advance.

Oh, sorry; I wasn't aware the mod added special orders as well.

I do see a special order for Sophia in the save I sent back to you. So, that's probably what needs to be deleted.

Code:

Hello! I am experiencing the same issue. If you aren't able to help me, could you guide me in right direction so I can attempt to fix this issue myself?

Thank you!

Here's a fixed version.

The folder name had an extra '8' at the end of the name; which didn't match save name.

I also saw that it was a mobile save. Unfortunately, in the mobile version of the game; SDV occasionally saves monsters on the farm. Which the PC desktop versions don't like, hence the crash.
I removed the monsters from the farm, and it loads, & saves now.
Also, fixed up the SaveGameInfo so it shows the correct info on loading the save.

You're the best, thank you!

Sure, it looks like you also had used SDV Expanded on this save.

You can continue with yours by reinstalling the mods.
Or you can use this edited save, and continue without mods.
