For help installing, updating, or removing SMAPI:
+
Now that [[../|you know the basics of moddings]], here's how to get started!
 +
 
 +
==Getting started==
 +
===Install SMAPI===
 +
First you'll need to install the mod loader, SMAPI. Click the right link for more info:

* [[Modding:Installing SMAPI on Linux|Instructions for Linux]]
 
* [[Modding:Installing SMAPI on Linux|Instructions for Linux]]
 
* [[Modding:Installing SMAPI on Mac|Instructions for Mac]]
 
* [[Modding:Installing SMAPI on Mac|Instructions for Mac]]
 
* [[Modding:Installing SMAPI on Windows|Instructions for Windows]]
 
* [[Modding:Installing SMAPI on Windows|Instructions for Windows]]

 +
===Find mods===
 +
Next you need to choose the mods you want. See the [http://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/topalltime/ most popular mods] or these [https://gist.github.com/Pathoschild/b608892d3e60bd25d0eea71ca7584649 recommendations for a first playthrough]. You can also search for mods here:
 +
{| class="wikitable"
 +
|-

! site
 +
! description
 +
|-
 +
| '''[http://nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/ Nexus Mods]'''
 +
| Most mods are released here.<br /><small>(Registering an account is free, just don't choose a package when you register.)</small>
 +
|-
 +
| [http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/categories/stardew-valley.22/ Chucklefish mods]
 +
| Some mods are released here (most are also on Nexus).
 +
|-
 +
| [https://www.moddrop.com ModDrop]
 +
| Pretty new. Not many mods yet, but you can install those it has very quickly through their (Windows-only) client.
 +
|-
 +
| [http://community.playstarbound.com/forums/mods.215/ Stardew Valley forums]
 +
| Some mods are posted directly in the forums. Some hidden gems are only here, but finding them can be a challenge.
 +
|}
 +
 +
Before you download a mod...
 +
* Does it work with the latest version of the game? (SMAPI will automatically disable most incompatible SMAPI mods, but you're on your own with XNB mods. Try checking the mod description or comments.)
 +
* Don't download from stardewvalleymods.net. (Mods here are usually outdated, since the site republishes mods without permission for ad revenue.)
 +
 +
===Find your game folder===
 +
Next you'll need to open your game folder (the one containing Stardew Valley's <tt>.exe</tt> file). Here's where to find it:
 +
 +
{| class="wikitable"
 +
|-
 +
! Platform
 +
! Path
 +
|-
 +
| Windows
 +
| GOG: <tt>C:\Program Files (x86)\GalaxyClient\Games\Stardew Valley</tt><br />Steam: <tt>C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley</tt>
 +
|-
 +
| Linux
 +
| GOG: <tt>~/GOG Games/Stardew Valley/game</tt><br />Steam: <tt>~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley</tt>
 +
|-
 +
| Mac
 +
| GOG: <tt>/Applications/Stardew Valley.app/Contents/MacOS</tt><br />Steam: <tt>~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS</tt><br /><br />On Mac, the <tt>Content</tt> folder is stored separately:<br />GOG: <tt>/Applications/Stardew Valley.app/Resources/Content</tt><br />Steam: <tt>~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Resources/Content</tt>
 +
|}
 +
 +
Not there? Here are some other ways to find it:
 +
 +
{{collapse|more options|content=&#32;
 +
; Option 2&#58; find it through SMAPI
 +
 +
:# Launch SMAPI.
 +
:# Enter this command in the SMAPI console (the second window that opens with the game): <pre>show_game_files</pre>
 +
 +
; Option 3&#58; find it through Steam
 +
 +
:# Open the Steam client.
 +
:# Right-click on ''Stardew Valley''.
 +
:# Click ''Properties''.
 +
:# Click the ''Local Files'' tab.
 +
:# Click the ''Browse Local Files...'' button to open the game folder.
 +
 +
; Option 4&#58; find it through GOG Galaxy
 +
 +
:# Open the GOG Galaxy client.
 +
:# In the game sidebar, right-click on ''Stardew Valley''.
 +
:# Choose ''Manage Installation > Show Folder'' to open the game folder.
 +
}}
 +
 +
===Install mods===
 +
To install a mod, just unzip it into the <tt>Mods</tt> folder in [[#Find your game folder|your game folder]]. Make sure each mod has its own subfolder. For example, if you have a <tt>PineapplesEverywhere</tt> mod, you should have a file structure like this:
 +
<pre>
 +
Stardew Valley/
 +
  Mods/
 +
      PineapplesEverywhere/
 +
        PineapplesEverywhere.dll
 +
        manifest.json
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
===Configure mods===
 +
Some mods have a <tt>config.json</tt> file in their mod folder. It might be created the first time you launch the game with that mod. This file lets you customise the mod settings.
 +
 +
To edit the <tt>config.json</tt> file, just open it in a text editor. Make sure the game isn't running when you edit it, or your changes might not take effect. See a [http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_json_syntax.asp basic guide to JSON]; basically make sure your values are surrounded by quotes (like <tt>"value"</tt>). You can use this [https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ JSON validator] to make sure the format is correct.
 +
 +
===Manage mods===
 +
* To update a mod, download the latest version and copy the new files into the existing folder. That should replace the older files, but keep any config or data files it generated for you.
 +
* To remove a mod, just remove it from the <tt>Mods</tt> folder.
