Question I need help using mods

[Dae Eterna]

So, I only currently have the Microsoft store version of Stardew Valley, I enabled mods via the Xbox app but still have no idea how to get mods to work and i can't find anything to help online. Please help me

Try reading this guide to modding SDV on the SDV wiki. https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started, I don't know how much it will help, since I don't use mods but I hope it will be of some assistance.

I had the same problem you had. Installing it is pretty much the same with all the other kinds of Stardew valley on pc except you have to manually enter the pathway to install SMAPI. Im trying to find out how to launch the modded version of the game but if you know how to change the file that the shortcut on the xbox app then tell me because im guessing how to do it.

The SMAPI install instructions actually did a good job of explaining this. What you need to do to be able to run it, is to rename the "Stardew Valley.exe" to something like "Stardew Valley.exe.original". Then rename the "StardewModdingAPI.exe" to "Stardew Valley.exe". After that, it will run from the XBox App as if it were the original.

Right now it looks like it has a downlevel version of Stardew Valley (1.5), so I can't get it to run with any mod that requires JsonAssets or SpaceCore, so be aware of that. Unfortunately, this includes some of the more popular mods.
