SMAPI suddenly wouldn't open the game, giving me the error below.
After a while trying to fix the issue myself, I uninstalled SMAPI altogether, thinking I'd just live with playing modless as long as I get to play. But now the game stops responding and crashes when I click load or new on the start-up screen. It doesn't even give me the list of saves after clicking 'load', nor does it take me to the character creation screen when I click 'new' - it just stops responding as soon as I click.
things I've already tried, roughly in this order:

things I've already tried, roughly in this order:
- rebooted computer
- updated Steam
- uninstalled and reinstalled SMAPI (twice, initially, before i decided to uninstall it altogether. I also removed the launch options for it)
- uninstalled and reinstalled Stardew Valley (twice)
- uninstalled and reinstalled Steam as a whole
- checked the game's file integrity
- disconnected from the Steam Cloud, thinking my saves there were corrupt
- deleted all my saves from my computer altogether (I was fine with starting all over again so long as I could play. Plus, I backed up my main save file in case I could bring it back once the issue's been fixed. After doing this, I clicked new game and discovered even that would cause the game to stop responding and crash.)
