So i made a modpack for SMAPI via Steam. I checked it on my laptop and it all worked ok. I uploaded the mod folder to google drive. My friend downloaded the file off of google drive and put it in their mods folder. They have the same SMAPI as me downloaded but when they run their Stardew they get a whole bunch of console text that I don't get and then their game loads super slowly and the mods don't seem to work. I shall attach the SMAPI console from their laptop. If anyone understands what went wrong between me running it and then sending it to them please let me know >< First time I've tried to play modded with a friend!

The SMAPI text file is too big to upload here!!! If anyone wants to see ill link you to the google drive with the mod files and the text file in!

SAMPI log: https://smapi.io/log/176363a09990441b99b6303a79a438fc

Edit: I have since fixed the issue with the wizard tower, by downloading a version of romanceable rasmodius that's compatible with SDVE, but this isn't what caused the issue on my friends computer cause it didn't prevent my game from loading up and working! Also I'm aware two other mods don't work right now - the wine one and the bring villagers on quest one - but them still being in the pack shouldn't affect the game loading up it should just ignore them as it does on my computer!

The issue seems to be with content patcher but I'm not sure why its not working on my friends but is working on mine! I even got them to redownloaded content patcher but that didn't change anything!

You can upload the SMAPI log with instructions from HERE.

Could you please upload the mod files to somewhere like https://catbox.moe/ or https://www.dropbox.com/?_hp=c

Thanks for the new upload. There are a large amount of errors in the log, for various mods.
My best suggestion would be for your friend to delete everything in his mod folder. and then re-install every mod you have in your list. It's also good to make sure that every mod dependency is installed as well.

Perhaps someone else will have better insight into the SMAPI log, but in my opinion it's always better to install the mods individually as opposed to just copying them in bulk from another computer.

Just straight copying someone else's folder can save a lot of headache when there are a lot of mods, so friends playing together will often take this approach. I'd definitely never be able to play with SO if I wasn't able to just set it up, then copy, but you need a clean slate, yeah. I just delete the existing Mods folder and replace it with mine. There's a ton of missing assets in the log though, so at minimum they definitely need to copy it again.

I suggest zipping your entire Mods folder (vs uploading individual folders) and having them unzip it on their end, without changing anything in-between.

(It shouldn't be linked here, though, since you can't redistribute other people's mods without permission.)

Hi there! As mouse mentioned, we don't allow redistributing mods without credit/permission. I've removed the link to that folder of mods, and I hope you're able to resolve your friend's issue!
