STOP! Read this before asking for help or reporting an issue. Common questions are answered here.
What's new in SMAPI 3.18? This lets you customize mod load order and disable console input, improves performance when applying mod content edits, fixes multiplayer map edits, prepares for the upcoming Stardew Valley 1.6, and raises all deprecation messages to the final level.
How do I update? Just run the new installer, it'll update previous files automatically.
Is it safe to update? Yep! All mods that worked in SMAPI 3.17.x should still work in 3.18.x. You can also reinstall the previous version if you run into problems. Feel free to report any update issues below.
Should I download SMAPI from Nexus or smapi.io? They're the same version, so it's up to you! That said:
Nexus gets major updates a bit sooner (so I can fix any reported issues before everyone sees an update alert for it).
Nexus sometimes has alternate versions (like strict mode or beta updates), while smapi.io only has the main version.
I get a few donation points the first time you download it from Nexus, but nothing from smapi.io downloads.
When will SMAPI be updated on Android? This page is SMAPI for PC (Linux/macOS/Windows) and Steam Deck. It's ported to Android by a separate developer (currently ZaneYork). For more info, see:
Tracking ticket to update SMAPI for Android. You can watch the ticket to receive email updates. (Please don't post comments like "please update" or "when will it be updated" to avoid spamming watchers; a message will be posted there when it's ready.)
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, 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.
Context.HasRemotePlayers is true when only host is online on multiplayer server - whether or not farmhands characters are created. I guess it shouldn't be possible as this bool (If I'm not wrong) should answer the question "Is there any farmhand online, that is not local = on splitscreen?". It seems like it is false when answer to this question is yes: "Are all farmhands (including offline / not created) local?" and otherwise true? And those questions aren't the same after negating them. Can't test it as I don't have controller.
Hey, um, I'm having an issue with Smapi. Long story short, I have all the mods in the correct folder, smapi runs fine, but it's like it isn't...noticing the mods? Like, no matter what I do, Smapi won't load the mods. It keeps on saying "Loaded 3 mods" and I have no idea what is going on. I've uninstalled both stardew and smapi, re-installed them, used a slightly older smapi version that worked for me before, made sure the file location and settings were correct, everything.
Sounds like something in the newest patch screwed up with the SMAPI app. 😢 I have yet to update, but after reading all this, I'd rather wait for a fix first.
If you can edit the messages you both left with a SMAPI log (there's the link in the post pinned by the author), I think it would be of a better help for the app author.
Currently playing SDV on my Steam Deck. Being totally upfront, I have very little Linux experience, but I'm learning. I haven't had any issues with SMAPI up to this point. Getting it SMAPI installed, installing and configuring mods all went smoothly.
So yesterday SOMETHING?? updated in SDV on my Deck. I don't know what, but it was about a 90mb update. Best I can guess is it might have been a Deck specific update? But honestly I have no idea. After that update, anytime I run SDV, SMAPI does not run.
1. First thing I tried was reinstalling SMAPI, no fix.
2. Second thing was backing up my roms and saves, uninstall everything and reinstalling everything including SMAPI but not any of my mods. Same issue. The game will start but SMAPI will not.
3 Third, I also tried different compatibility versions within proton. Nothing seems to work. And honestly I'm not sure what has changed to cause this problem.
4. I ran "StardewValley" in konsole, I get a fatal error regarding some net framework issues. I went through the steps suggested, and no fix. But to be honest I didn't have to do any of this stuff before and it worked without issue.
I'd be more than happy to upload my SMAPI logs but it doesn't generate any since SMAPI never executes. The last thing I'm going to try is a full system restore. But I'm going to wait to take that last step until I can get some feedback.
Again, I'm still learning Linux so if there are other steps to try give me as much detail as you can with steps to take.
As far as versions. I'm using SMAPI 3.18.3 And SDV version I'm going to say the most recent version since it's set to auto update. I know that's not much help, I apologize.
So I went through the steps of installing the framework after the fatal error a few days ago, so that error message is no longer showing with I run StardewVallley in konsole and unfortunately I'm not skilled enough with linux quite yet to uninstall that framework to see if I can trigger that fatal error again.
Here is the message is shows now.
/run/media/mmcblk0p1/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/StardewValley' /usr/bin/xterm xterm: cannot load font "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1"
I really appreciate the reply, if that info above doesn't help, then I'm most likely going to do a system format over the long weekend and see if I can get everything up and running with a clean slate. I'll check back over the weekend and I'll update with my information and if a system format fixed the issue.
I'm not super familiar with Linux, but your first comment sounds like you're using the Proton version of the game and the second comment has what looks like the native version? Can you make sure you installed the correct version of SMAPI for your Proton or native install?
The game supports Linux natively. If you're using the Proton version, you could also try switching to the native version of the game + SMAPI which is easier to set up.
Hello there, thank you so much for your hard work on this. I don't have a bug or anything, but since updating, it's been speaking when I hover over a button on the menu and it even speaks as it's loading. How can I disable this? Thank you.
Edit: I can't figure out how to delete this. I figured out that it wasn't Smapi doing this, it was Stardew Access doing it. My apologies.
Oops SMAPI is missing one of its files. Your antivirus might have deleted it. Missing file: "C:\Users\KONO DIO DA\Desktop\SMAPI 3.18.3 installer\"internal\windows\SMAPI.Installer.dll
i already checked my antivirus and its not the cause, i never had problems installing smapi but now i always get this error with the windows bat file and i cant install it in a fresh install
Hi, i just installed SMAPI and installed a few mods. Then i started Stardew Valley and it shows that all mods are loaded but when i load a savefile none of the installed mods work. Is there any solution to this? Here'smy SMAPI log https://smapi.io/log/0bd9b8d3893c4bba9993256a4b8c8a79
I last played about a week ago and everything was fine. Opened it today with it saying to update. I downloaded the new SMAPI update, but the installer wont open for me to download. It'll load the initial screen just fine, but when I click on my game file, it goes back to the opening credits, and repeat - game won't actually start.

[Edit] Disregard comment, I figured it out.
