[KingDoodies]

I do beileve this is due to a mod, as this has only happened with mods before. basiclly my save file got corrupted. this is the error that popped up

i hope this infomation helps out with fixing the issue. for extra information, i can load into other worlds, and whenever i load into this one its boots me out to the title screen. if you need any aditional infomation to fix this please ask. i've been trying to fix this for hours (oh yeah and i tried backups but my last backup is so far back that it would be better to restart)

Hi, thanks for posting the error. Can you post the save as well?
How to find the saves:

Saves - Stardew Valley Wiki

The game saves progress when the in-game day ends, i.e., when the farmer goes to bed, collapses from exhaustion, or collapses at 2am. All progress during a day is lost if the player quits the game without ending the day. In multiplayer, the game saves after all players click through the prompts...

alright will do, only problem is that it says the save file is too large when i attach files. is there a way to send over the save?

Is that after compressed into a zip file?
Otherwise, you can always try a free file share site like: https://easyupload.io/

forgot to zip it, it should now send

Alrighty, the error message pointed to a different spot when I launched it on my end.
But, finally found the cause. There was some "Weeds" debris that got corrupted; as it was missing some data.

Once I deleted the loose data for that Weed item; everything was okay again.
Seems to load up fine on my end now.

Alright, i will need to check tommorow for my end, as it is late and i will need to get my sleep, thank you and i bet it will work

I can now load into the world, the only problem is that it won't let me into my menu, so i can't craft, pause, or do other actions, however this looks like it is due to a mod, as removing all of them lets me pause again. so it looks like it is working again. thank you

 

[KingDoodies]

found the mod causing the not letting me into the menu, now everything works fine. thank you for your help
