This page explains how to install SMAPI (the tool which lets you use mods) on Windows. See also:
Install
- Part 1: install SMAPI
- Run the game without SMAPI at least once so it can do first-time setup.
- Download the latest version of SMAPI.
- Extract the .zip file somewhere (but not in your game folder!).
- Double-click install.exe¹, and follow the on-screen instructions.
The installer will detect your game and add SMAPI for you. - If you use Steam, continue to the next section. Otherwise just run StardewModdingAPI.exe in your game folder to play with mods.
- Part 2: configure Steam
- You can use SMAPI through the Steam client to enable the overlay and achievements. This requires a few more steps.
¹ To install manually instead, see instructions in the installer's readme.
Update
Just install the new version; the installer will automatically clean up previous versions. (You don't need to configure Steam again.)
Uninstall
Run install.exe and choose uninstall.
