I just downloaded today, and I am getting the following error messages:
These mods could not be added to your game. [SMAPI] - [FTM] Platonic's Exotic Stuff because it contains files, but none of them are manifest.json. [SMAPI] - [JA] Platonic's Exotic Stuff - Crops because it contains files, but none of them are manifest.json. [SMAPI] - [JA] Platonic's Exotic Stuff - Trees because it contains files, but none of them are manifest.json.
Since I cannot recreate the issue, and I don't know what might be causing it, try to reinstall the mod, delete the files, do not overwrite them! If anyone else has this issue then please report!
It is caused by putting the files into a mod manager and corrupts them into a "g" and "n*" file names respectively. Might be caused by it being originally in a 7z file compression.
Managed to locate the source of this. It's a vortex-specific issue and a fix should be out in the next few days.
The TL;DR is that your mod is one of the very few that uses capitals for your .json files and vortex was not expecting this.
Worked with the vortex devs to figure it out, and they should be pushing a fix for this in the next few days that will then be sent out to vortex clients.
You can follow the status of that here. No changes should be needed on your end. :)
Oof, sorry I beat you to so many! Great minds think alike, I guess. I watch said You-tuber as well! It's so much fun and he makes it all sound so good!

Users are having problems installing your mod with Vortex as you have put a capital M on the "manifest.json" file. Causing an unexpected bug.
See on GitHub.
A workaround for now is for you to update your mod and just change all 3 "Manifest.json" files to "manifest.json".
Sorry for the extremely late response, sure you can!
