[[File:19 make alias.png|500px]]
||Hit return or select "Go," and Finder will take you directly to the /MacOS folder. This is especially helpful if you want to switch between different sets of mods.
To make an alias, right click on the folder and select "Make Alias" from the menu. This will create a new folder named "MacOS alias."
Next, move the alias somewhere convenient like your Documents folder or on your Desktop.

||To simplify the process further, you can make an alias of just your Mods folder. Then all you have to do to add mods is drag and drop the unzipped folders into this one. '''It is very important to put mods in this folder and not anywhere else, or they will not work because SMAPI will not find them!'''
Repeat steps 1-3, substituting the Mods folder path in step 2:
<samp>/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS/Mods</samp>.
