Player's guide to using mods 
This page explains how to install SMAPI (the tool which lets you use mods) on Android.
See instructions for: Linux • macOS • Steam Deck • Windows.
Install
SMAPI for Stardew Valley 1.5.6 is in alpha testing. Some mods may not work with the latest version of the game yet.
You can watch this tracking ticket to see the latest updates.
An incomplete list of working/non-working Android mods can be found here.
Note: Because Android SMAPI is still in its testing phases, even the latest release may not work for everyone
- Download the latest installer APK file (the file under "Assets" that ends with .apk).
- Install the APK on your phone.
- Run the new app to install SMAPI. This may take a while depending on your device (e.g., 21s on a Samsung Galaxy S10, and 1 minute 13s on a Samsung Galaxy S6).
- When it's done, you can safely uninstall the installer app.
That's it! Just launch the game to play with mods.
Update
Just follow the install steps again; the installer will automatically clean up previous versions.
Uninstall
- Uninstall the SMAPI Stardew Valley app.
- Uninstall the SMAPI installer.
- Manually delete the smapi-internal folder from the StardewValley game folder.
FAQs
How do I add and use mods?
Once SMAPI is installed, install mods by unzipping them into the newly-created StardewValley/Mods folder. To launch the game with mod support, just run the SMAPI Stardew Valley icon or tap the floating action button in the installer app.
Why is there a separate SMAPI for Android?
The Android version of the game is very custom compared to other platforms, so the official version of SMAPI isn't compatible. There's a port of SMAPI to Android developed by MartyrPher and later ZaneYork (see main source code and installer source code). It supports most SMAPI mods and content packs (including framework mods like Content Patcher, Farm Type Manager, Json Assets, and PyTK), but some mods may not be compatible.
