Once you've successfully installed SMAPI, you should get a window that looks like this. This final window includes the game path, so it will be very helpful to copy that and save it for when you want to find your Mods folder. The game path is almost invisible in dark mode, so it's helpful to change to light mode.

Here is the light mode view of the same window.

==Finding and Saving Your Mods Folder==
On a Mac, if you've saved where SMAPI installed mods, you can use Finder functions to get to your Mods folder, then save an alias of your Mods folder somewhere convenient.
Start by going to the Finder menu and going to Go, then Go to Folder.

Once you have the menu open, paste in the game path you saved from earlier. If you didn't save it, you can guess it using the pattern from the finding your mods folder page.

Once you hit return, it will take you to your Mods folder. It's inside a folder named MacOS, which is helpful to be able to navigate to later, especially if you want to switch between different sets of mods. To make your life easier, you can make an alias of this folder by right clicking and selecting Make Alias, then moving the alias somewhere convenient like your Documents or Desktop.

If you prefer to keep things simple, you can make an alias of just your mods folder. Then all you have to do to add mods is drag and drop their unzipped folders into this folder. 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!
