If there are any errors in the smapi log, can we also see those? Actually, just in case, send the log even if there aren't any errors.
Just as refrence, mod folders go in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods folder. You probally already tried this, but just in case.
If there are errors, it might be that the mod in question is incompatible with the verison of stardew valley, or as bansaighdear said, your platform (iOS, Windows, ect)
Plus you might need another mod framework or something. I know SpaceCore exists, there might be more.
sorry i forgot to mention i play on windows. i downloaded all the required frameworks for every mod that told me to do so. there is an error, but it's the same as i had always gotten prior to downloading the new mods. i'll put a screenshot here.. or maybe i'll just copy and paste the entirety of the pop up, lol. i'll try going into the steam thing, my brain is a bit foggy i can't even remember what i tried yesterday as it was just a lot. here's my SMAPI log:

src\steamnetworkingsockets\clientlib\steamnetworkingsockets_lowlevel.cpp (2695) : Assertion Failed: SteamnetworkingSockets service thread waited 113ms for lock! This directly adds to network latency! It could be a bug, but it's usually caused by general performance problem such as thread starvation or a debug output handler taking too long.

mind you some of this is normal and has not hindered previous gameplay. I also deleted fashion sense and the corresponding mods. hats won't mess up hairstyles is the only new mod i downloaded that works. thank you for the reply!
EDIT: i actually think you just solved my issue! files have previously been hard for me (im new to using a PC/monitor) and i typed windows + R then copy and pasted "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods" and the issue was that the new mods/deleted mods were not/were still in there even though i have a pinned stardew file, sometimes i still need to go to the inner source in my computer. still had to mess with it for a while, but fixed it eventually. thank you so much!
