Windows save game not loading

[nqvilune]

hello! I just made this account because I am honestly at the end of my rope :( I've been playing Stardew on mobile (IOS IPad) for around 3 months now, give or take. I recently got my first PC, so I wanted to transfer my data over. I was able to figure out how to transfer the save files successfully, however; whenever I try to load my save game on my PC, it shows a black loading screen for about 10 seconds, then kicks me back to the start menu. I have googled and attempted multiple possible solutions, but none have worked. At this point, I've spent roughly 4-5 hours alone trying to fix this as I've put a lot of effort into my farm and it's my first.

I have no mods, but I did download SMAPI so I could be ready to mod my farm (and to be clear, I had tried to load my farm before downloading the software and this was still occurring. I was originally going to give up and simply make a new farm, but as I was making my new farmer, I couldn't bring myself to). The text that comes up on the SMAPI is: "[game] DebugOutput: There is an error in XML document (1, 40)."

I tried deleting and retransferring files, troubleshooting, moving files around/renaming them, restarting my device, turning off Steam cloud, etc. The game loads perfectly fine on my IPad, but there seems to be an issue with the files on the PC that I cannot fix or even pinpoint what exactly the problem is.

I use Windows 11, I have version 1.6.15, and here is my save file. I've never attached a file on a forum or anything like this before so I hope this is right and people can see it. Please let me know if anything else is needed and thank you so, so, so much to anyone willing to help me.

Hi! You've only uploaded the SaveGameInfo file, but we also need whatever file is named after your farm as well (e.g. FarmName_123456789).

Once you upload it, reply or tag me with @ here so I see the response, and I'll take a look when I can.
