modding

hello, total modding beginner here, but i have a VISION! :junicheer: I am totally planning to make a mod that is fully pokémon themed, but not as in the animals are pokémon, i mean everyone is a pokémon. think mystery dungeon vibes. now the issue; the 16x32 villager sprite size is not fit for...

Hey all, greetings from a newbie who recently discovered SDV and instantly fell in love with it! I'm blind, so there are a few somewhat problematic aspects of the game, although the SDV Access mod really does a fantastic job (a huge thanks for it to the author and contributors). Long story...

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a lightweight, minimal mod that improves how Hoppers work in Stardew Valley – something that adds output functionality. Ideally, I’d love one of these three options: A new type of Hopper that can both insert into and extract from machines (including Fish...

Hi everyone, new to the game and new here. I had opened it without changing anything and it worked, now SMAPI ignored all their locations. I only translated the dialogue and stuff but now they both disappeared. I only had to change the dialogues because the dialogues were just boxes. It's a...

I'm running the latest version of the game and smapi (as far as I know). I'm not very familiar with creating links in forums, but here's a copy paste of what the API executable gives me when I try to start after updating all my mods (there are not a lot of them) [SMAPI] Loaded 5 mods: [SMAPI]...

Hello everyone, I am currently working on my first content patch (with Content Patcher), which adds some fishes to the game. I have been looking for a way of setting the fishing location of these fishes to specific floors of the mine (let's say, level 20, level 60 and level 100 of the mines)...

Hey everyone, I'm trying to make a mod to change Haleys portraits, it is my first time modding any game so I don't really know what could be wrong. I will include in the thread a picture of the SMAPI log and an image of the assets folder, confirming that it is not empty.

my game was working perfectly fine yesterday and i played it with my gf online just fine. i updated everything today and now I'm getting this error every time i try to join our farm. my log is posted below: [SMAPI] SMAPI 4.1.7 with Stardew Valley 1.6.14 build 24317 on Microsoft Windows 11...

Hello everyone! I'm DPP! A few years ago I posted in this thread under my old account about a Todoroki family mod I wanted to create: Right here! Well, guess what? The mod is in progress!! Though, i am looking for a writer that wouldnt mind helping with dialogue for a few characters. Perhaps...

Extra information: I want to create a custom npc mod, transferring the characters from the video game Omori to Stardew Valley. If I even complete it, I most likely won't post it publicly depending on copyright stuff. I have a MacOS version 10.15.7. Are there any tutorials online, specifically...

Hi. I'm making a custom NPC and I need to set up a schedule. So I made it begin with "1100 Forest 10 13 0" thinking that NPC will appear at the location since it's the first in line. But instead they appeared on the coordinated immediately in the morning at 600. Is there a way to keep them "off...

Hi so basically I have never modded anything but I really want to add an NPC version of my friend's boyfriend. I lowkey hate the guy but she loves him or whatever and refuses to marry anyone in game. Where do I even get started on trying this??? Edit: Is there any way I could just switch Alex...

Hey, As the title says I'm looking to find a mod that increases the likelihood of special items e.g. weapons and shoes, from crates and barrels when you break them in the mines. I used to play with MARGO (combat module), when it was still compatible during 1.5 and got used to this whilst...

Hi. I want to make a mod to change the animation of the farmer when viewed from the side while using the pickaxe, axe, hoe, or club special attack. It was going well until I noticed that the hair still moved as if it were the old animation (moving up), while I in my new animation need the hair...

I'm working on a recolor for tools and weapons, and I've hit a serious roadblock with the panning animation. I'm sure it's set up the same as the other image edits, but unlike them it isn't working. Here's the image and code that I'm using. Maybe something will stand out to someone more...

Hey yall, I am making my first mod to replace the pigs and also the pig icon in Marnie's shop. Replacing the portrait and name in Marnie's shop is where I'm stuck, this is what I have so far: { "Format": “2.0”, "Changes": [ { "Action": "Load", "Target"...

Hey! So, I'm huge on downloading mods for recolors, but a few days ago I ran into an issue I've never had before. Everytime I go to play Stardew (whether I open it on Steam or not) I get a less than a second long pop-up of the SMAPI startup screen and then it autocloses. It opens and closes so...

[SMAPI] Waiting for game to launch... [game] Game.Initialize() caught exception initializing XACT. FileNotFoundException: Content\XACT\FarmerSounds.xgs ---> DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\GOG Games\Stardew Valley\Content\XACT\FarmerSounds.xgs'. at...

(English isn't my native language, so I hope you will understand what I mean lol) Hello, I've seen similar threat already somewhere, but it was posted few years ago and it doesn't have answers. With the new update for SV, some NPC's have unique responses for specific gifts. Like, for example...

Good morning!! Me and my partner have recently started working on our very first mod for Stardew Valley adding some brand new barn animals to the game! We obviously want them to be as good as possible and even though we have many ideas I'm still not completely familiar with the game's code...
