UPDATE TO SMAPI 4.0.7 BEFORE ASKING FOR HELP. Stardew Valley 1.6.4 and 1.6.5 were released recently. The SMAPI 4.0.7 update is required to avoid mod errors. To update SMAPI, just download and install the latest version (no need to uninstall it first).
STOP! Read this before asking for help or reporting an issue. Common questions are answered here.
What's new in SMAPI 4.0? This mainly updates for Stardew Valley 1.6.0, improves performance and compatibility rewriting, adds per-mod-folder settings, and removes Error Handler (which is now integrated into the game itself). For mod authors, it mainly adds custom update manifests, adds new render step events, and drops deprecated APIs.
How do I update? Just run the new installer, it'll update previous files automatically.
Is it safe to update? SMAPI 4.0.0 is the update for Stardew Valley 1.6, so older SMAPI versions won't work with the new game update. Mods may break with the game update though. Feel free to report issues with SMAPI itself here, but issues with specific mods should be reported on those mods' pages instead.
I have issues with SMAPI on Android? This page is SMAPI for PC (Linux/macOS/Windows) and Steam Deck. This is not the page for SMAPI on Android; see the Android install guide for more info.
I used Vortex to install or update SMAPI, and it's not working or updating correctly. Vortex bypasses the SMAPI installer and often causes issues. Please do not ask for help with SMAPI issues here if you installed or updated it using Vortex.
Or install SMAPI directly instead, which often solves the issue. If you still have issues after doing installing it directly, feel free to comment below!
When I launched the game, I saw a message like "the 'StardewModdingAPI.deps.json' file didn't match"? The full message is:
The 'StardewModdingAPI.deps.json' file didn't match the game's version. SMAPI fixed it automatically, but you must restart SMAPI for the change to take effect.
That happens once after a game update. You can just re-launch the game to continue playing normally.
(Stardew Valley and SMAPI both have a *.deps.json file which need to match for SMAPI to work. So when the game updates, SMAPI automatically updates its file to match the game. It needs to restart for the changes to take effect.)
My antivirus reports a trojan or deletes SMAPI files? SMAPI most likely doesn't have a trojan; see SMAPI files disappear or antivirus complains for info on why your antivirus may be reporting it, how to check if it's safe, and how to install SMAPI when that happens.
When I launch the game, the console appears temporarily and then exits, or Steam briefly shows "playing"? See Game doesn't launch in the troubleshooting guide for help with that.
How do I ask for help? You can often get a faster response by asking the community instead. If you do ask here, [url=https://smapi.io/log]upload your SMAPI log and add a link to your message. This has useful info like what versions you have, which mods are installed, what happened in the game, etc. Please do this even if you don't see an error in the log.
When launching i keep getting this error message, maybe has something to do with the recent Windows update?
