i'm trying to figure out how to make this work again! overgrown flowery interface no longer shows me an option to toggle the hit box in the config.json nor in the generic mod config menu and i cant use the cute heart anymore! i adore this mod and would love my pink heart hitbox back! any ideas?
EDIT: i figured out how to edit the manifest.json for a false dependency and fixed it! pretty pink heart is back! <3
I can't get this mod to work - It says it's loaded but it's still the red box :( I've tried several config options and non work. I don't know what is isn't compatible with -Vintage interface maybe?
EDIT: I added a dependency for Vintage Interface V2 myself in the manifest.json of your mod - it works now! Just a heads up that its not compatible currently with VI2.
Thanks, but it is actually compatible! You just need to open Vintage Interface's config.json and set "Hit Box Toggle" to "disabled". You can also use Generic Mod Config Menu to change the setting using the UI.
Thank youuuuu!! I was going nuts wondering why it wasn't working when it had before, turns out I had also forgotten to disable Vintage Interface's hit box after I changed up my vortex profile
Are you using vortex? We don't directly support vortex, so I don't have the experience to tell you why this is happening. All the mods I use on nexus come as archives and I unzip them using winRAR in my "Stardew Valley/Mods" folder. I'd suggest doing that as I find it a lot simpler but if you need us to upload a zip file instead and this would fix your problem then please let us know
Are you downloading the files marked "Original Assets"? That file is ful of old assets in case people want them (it has no config or manifest), the actual mod file is here: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6724?tab=files&file_id=38661 If this is where you've downloaded it, I will happily upload a zip and we can try that
Also, what do you extract your mods with, is it winzip, 7zip or winrar?
I downloaded one when the other hadn't worked, they both don't work. The way I extract a zip is just right-clicking the file and clicking "Extract All", that's the way I was taught, and that's how it works. These files, however, are not a zip, they're a .RAR, which files as such by themselves do not work as mods for me. Is there another way to download mods that has been kept from me?
The compression format used to pack (compress, archive, or simply "zip") a file or folder does not stop any mod from working. .Zip archives are not mods in and of themselves, and neither are .Rar archives.
The mod is the file, or group of files, that is inside the compressed folder, which you extract because SMAPI doesn't read compressed files. In the case of this mod, the .png and .json files: the first type are the visual effects you see in-game, the second is the code that is read and run to make the changes take effect. That said, the only way a compression might break something is if there was file corruption at the time it was compressed. The same thing can easily happen while downloading, due to network instability or a problem with the hosting server (or any number of other things, really).
Re-posting a reply I wrote on another mod's comment section. Slightly edited and added to.
For anyone who's ever looked at a .rar file (or even a .7z one) and scratched their heads: For Windows - 7-zip is free, open source and can unpack most commonly used formats, including .rar, .zip, .7z (its own), .iso, and about another 30+. Simply put, it'll be difficult for the average user to find a compressed file it can't open. Just download the stable build .exe appropriate for your system (64 or 32bit) and install. Right-click on your archive, hover over 7-Zip and choose Extract (files, to 'folder', here). Done. For people with another OS - it also has a version for Linux systems, and for MacOS, it lists another free program called Keka, linking directly to their website.
I suggest 7-Zip for everyone working on Windows because it is free, safe, easy to use, lightweight and works for just about everything, packing and unpacking, saving you from looking for a program for a certain file type or asking people to repack it in a format you can work with.
[further explanation for the curious, but safe to ignore otherwise] Rar, Zip and 7z are all compression formats, but they differ slightly by compression ratio (methods/efficiency) and availability (ease of use). .rar applications and libraries are proprietary software; applications to compress files in .rar are paid for (WinRAR past free trial), but those to unpack the resulting archives don't need to be. Hence why 7-zip can work with them, but can't compress files into that format. .zip is one of the oldest formats and most operating systems have built-in support for it (such as Windows and MacOS), making it easy to use because it doesn't require additional software. That said, it has the lowest compression rate of the three, meaning larger files - which wouldn't make a difference with most SDV mods because they're generally pretty small. 7-Zip uses this format too, for packing and unpacking. .7z is 7-Zip's format and functions pretty much like .rar, so it needs the specific software as well. It still has better compression ratio than .rar though. Both of them can easily be split into parts (handy for file sharing), while .zip files need additional software (can be done with 7-Zip). Not as widely used for a matter of convenience since most people just never stopped using .zip.
Hope this helps clear up some doubts. Feel free to ask questions, I'll always answer if I'm able to.
Thank you so much for explaining this so comprehensively, StarkofGenius!
The file definitely isn't corrupted, but I will be replacing all the mods' .rar files with .zip files in the near future for those who struggle with downloading archives in .rar form. As explained above, though, if you download winzip or winrar you will be able to use the .rar files just fine in the meantime
Hi, we've reuploaded the mod as a zip file instead of a rar for some people who were having issues extracting it, please try redownloading the most recent version of the mod!
This mod looks adorable and I'd love to use it but when I open the RAR file in my notes it shows up all in Chinese. There's also random emojis like the handicapped wheelchair one and a smiley face. Is there a solution to this?

hey there! as far as I know there isn't a way to make them compatible, sorry :( the first screenshot / header are using elegant farmer and its hairs, the others are from before elegant farmer body came out and taken with the vanilla farmer body and coii's hairs. I should really get around to updating the rest of the screenshots haha
