Added method for having different mod groups on Steam using the non-Steam game method. I need to hyperlink to the original page during step 2, but that will be a separate edit. (If there's a simpler way to title the Non-Steam game method on the right, do so - it has enlarged that field significantly and I'm not certain it's for the better.)

Line 311: Line 311:

# Optionally you can click the <samp>"Change Icon..."</samp> button and browse to your Stardew Valley folder to change the icon of the shortcut from the Steam icon to the Stardew Valley Icon.

# Double-click that shortcut to make Steam launch SMAPI with the specified mod folder and all steam features.

# Create a separate folder for each mod group in [[#Find your game folder|your game folder]], like <code>Mods</code> and <code>Mods (multiplayer)</code>.

+

# Add SMAPI as a Non-Steam Game to your library a second time. Follow instructions in installing SMAPI on Windows - it is highly suggested you alter the title in your Steam Library to differentiate between mod groups, such as "Stardew Valley Modded" and "Stardew Valley Modded Multiplayer".

+

# Right-click the new SMAPI entry in your Steam Library, select "Properties", and add this to the end of the Target field: <code> --mods-path "Mods (multiplayer)"</code>. '''Don't delete any of the existing text in that field! This should be added to the end of what's already there.''' Done correctly, it should look something like <code>"your-path-here\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" --mods-path "Mods (multiplayer)"</code>.

+

# Click the "Play" button in the new SMAPI entry to make Steam launch SMAPI with the specified mod folder and all Steam features.
