Question Mod Making Assist Request

[AnonBuddha]

So I'm trying to make what I thought was a very simple mod (my first!). I just wanted to get rid of the player character's forehead shading, and I couldn't find a mod of someone else doing this.

Figured the easiest way was to replace farmer_base with a copy of farmer_base_bald (and the female equivalents) using ContentPatcher, but it doesn't seem to work. Can someone take a quick gander at my content.json and see what I'm doing wrong? I followed the ContentPatcher Github Guide step by step, so I'm not sure what's the issue.

I've tried it in its current form. I've also tried adding the line "PatchMode": "Overlay". Additionally, I've tried swapping to "Action": "Load". I'm beginning to think there's a reason no one else has made this mod LOL!

If this is the wrong place to post please let me know and I'll move it right away. ContentPatcher directed me here for help.

Hi! I'm trying out your mod on my Stardew copy, but the first thing I see is that SMAPI's log throws an error when trying to load it.

[SMAPI]    Skipped mods
[SMAPI]    --------------------------------------------------
[SMAPI]       These mods could not be added to your game.

[SMAPI]       - Farmer Body Forehead Fix 1.0.0 because its manifest specifies an invalid ID (IDs must only contain letters, numbers, underscores, periods, or hyphens).

Changing the mod's ID in your manifest.json to something like "AnonBuddha.Farmer.Body.Forehead.Fix" should make it work without any more problems. The code part of the mod is okay!

Hope this helps.

You are a peach. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me to check the SMAPI log. Duh *facepalm*. Thank you so much!
