Issue SMAPI won't launch? SVE missing mods?

Hi, this is my first post here. Created an account just for this.

I've had SMAPI for about 2 months, and today is the first time I've ever been able to get it to work. I played for about an hour, then saved at the end of the day and closed it for a little while. When I went to open it after updating the mods it told me I needed to update, it suddenly wouldn't open again.

What's happening is this: I go into my mods folder where the SMAPI Launcher is, double click it to open. The black box flashes for the briefest instance, then disappears and nothing else happens.

I've tried posting about it on the SMAPI reddit and nobody ever got back to me.

The internet directed me to check my SVE folder, where the i18n default said the following:

}
"installationchecker.installation.incorrect": "Stadew Valley Expanded appears to be installed incorrectly.",
"installationchecker.missing.mods": "Did not detect mod(s) required for Stadew Valley Expanded...",
"installationchecker.missing.mods.cont": "Please download, or make sure you have installed the following correctly:",
"installationchecker.outdated.mods": "Detected versions of mod(s) outdated for use in Stadew Valley Expanded...",
"installationchecker.outdated.mods.cont": "Please update the following before playing:",
"installationchecker.orphaned.mods": "The following required mod(s) could not be found. They're either not",
"installationchecker.orphaned.mods.cont": "installed, or they're missing dependencies of their own. Please check below:",
"installationchecker.mod.info": "{{modName}} by {{author}} -",
"installationchecker.mod.parents": "Relevant requirement: {{parents}}",
"installationchecker.smapi.outdated": "SMAPI is out of date! Please update this ASAP!",
"installationchecker.component.missing": "\n\n\nThere seems to be an issue with your Stadew Valley Expanded installation.\nPlease visit https://smapi.io/log and follow the instructions on that site to upload your log.\nScroll to the top of the page and read the red text to identify the errors.\n\n\n",
"installationchecker.help.message": "If you need help, visit SVE's Discord server! https://discord.gg/TBevpV28",
"installationchecker.start": "Starting Installation Checker...",
"installationchecker.credits": "(Installation Checker provided by shekurika and moe)",
"installationchecker.success": "Installation check completed. Everything seems fine!"
}

I have no idea which mod might be missing from the folder, and I cannot find my StardewValley ErrorLog. I have looked for it every way I know how, and I cannot find it anywhere. All my SMAPI ErrorHandler file says in its i18n is
{
// warning messages
"warn.invalid-content-removed": "Invalid content was removed to prevent a crash (see the SMAPI console for info)."
}
but the stupid console won't open for me to check it!

Sorry for the long post, this is very frustrating to me. Any and all help and advice is appreciated, I will do my best to follow even though I'm tech-incompetent. Thanks in advance!

While I won’t claim to be able to help you, the best thing to do is share the full Smapi log link (steps on how to do it can be found here: https://smapi.io/log). The veterans of this forum will be more than happy to help you once they have access to it!

That is part of the issue, I cannot find the SMAPI log. Following the instructions of the site does not help.

Any chance you’ve tried uninstalling/removing all of your mod files and smapi itself then reinstalling downloading the latest of all mod versions? It’s a bit tedious, I know, but that might be a good clean start to try to get things working again…

I mean the info you have above points to your computer having different versions of SMAPI on it. This may cause issues with having anything run properly?

Dunno if that would help. Some of the moderators and veterans will swing around over the next few hours I’m sure, if the aforementioned approach (removing and reinstalling everything with the latest versions of the mods, etc.) doesn’t work…
