Common Issues
My items aren't converting!
Probably this means you don't have converted versions of the items in the game. Check on the installed CP packs to be sure they cover all of the items in the DGA content packs you used to be using.
My items aren't converting, and I know I have content packs for them installed properly!
Probably this means that the format of the items changed too much from the DGA pack to the converted CP pack for this mod to be able to track what new item should be used to replace the old item. You can contact the mod author to ask them about their formatting standards, and if there's any consistent pattern, report the pattern to me to add to the list of patterns this mod checks.
Thank you to Casey as always for making DGA, the spark that kicked off the 1.6 update and a wonderful framework that shall be missed.

- This mod only works in game version 1.6 (and above)
- This mod will not create or edit content packs in any way
- This mod will only work properly if there is a converted 1.6 version of your DGA content packs installed
What does it do?
- When you load a save, this mod looks through all of the items in that save (furniture, objects, big craftables, hats, shoes, pants, shirts, weapons) and then replaces any broken old DGA items it finds
- It goes through and tries its best to match the broken old DGA items to new items added by CP by looking at the old name and trying out a few common variations on the naming.
- If it finds a matching new item, it does a swap and your DGA item is properly replaced. Otherwise, it's replaced with an error item that has the same internal name.
Why do you want this mod?
- If you have a 1.5.6 save that you really liked the furniture for, and the furniture packs you used are already converted for 1.6 by the mod authors (or by you).
- So that you can remember where your decorations were before in 1.5.6 and can later on manually replace the error items with new items, for any items that don't have converted 1.6 content packs ready.
- If you have a 1.5.6 save that has some non-furniture DGA items that you don't want to just vanish out of your save.
How to use this mod
- Back up your saves
- Install the 1.6 alpha (or if it's released, the 1.6 game), and the SMAPI and SpaceCore versions that match
- Install this mod
- Install converted CP versions of all the DGA content packs you were previously using
- Open up your save and take a look around to check that the things you wanted got replaced
- If it doesn't look right, don't save, exit to title, and figure out what went wrong
