Hi! I wanna start by saying that I'm new to the forum I searched a bit with the searchbar to see if I could find any thread to post this but I did not find anything. If if I made an accidental error by posting this I apologize. Now to my actuial question. So as a hobby I have tried to start doing some videogame modding mainly with the focus on writing/story stuff.so as a way to dip my toes in it i've tried my hands at making a flavor mod where the player receives different joke/flavor letters. The actual writing is already done so now only the technical part and uploading it remains. Currently i have a simplified versionms of the mod with only one letter just to see if it works.

however the letter currently included in the modfiles don't appear at the date it's supposed to appear or at all for that matter. I have installed SMAPI and content patcher the game is also run in the mode with a command console allows for mods to be used. I use a template that Gemini gave me when I created the json content file the other json file also appears to be correct (I may also have used a Gemini template for the other json file don't remember honestly). All the files are put where they should be in the game files and it still does not work.

So now I'm turning to the community for help what's wrong that causes the letter to not appear when it is supposed to? The test letter has a different date of arrival then I planned for it to have in the final mod but even at that test date nothing happens. I assume it's appropiate of me to share the json files in someway when asking for help. What's the best way to do this upload them online and send a link attach the files right here or something else? I am asking because I don't klnow what the proper etiquette is when it comes to this.
If you have any questions just ask. Have a nice day! Also I should add that i run the Linux version of the game without proton.
