This page explains how to install SMAPI (the tool which lets you use mods) on macOS.

See instructions for: AndroidLinuxSteam DeckWindows.

Install

Quick note: As of version 4.0.0, SMAPI uses NET 6.0, which is supported on Mac 10.15 (Catalina) or later. These instructions will fail if you're on Mac 10.12 (Sierra), Mac 10.13 (High Sierra), or 10.14 (Mohave), in which case, see: Modding:Player Guide/Troubleshooting#SMAPI doesn't work with the compatibility branch

  1. Download the latest version of SMAPI (see a pictorial guide).
  2. Extract the .zip file somewhere (but not in your game folder!).
  3. Right-click install on Mac.command and choose open.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions.¹

That's it! Just launch the game to play with mods. You don't need to change your Steam launch options. (That's only needed on Windows).

¹To install manually instead, see instructions in the installer's readme.

Update

Just install the new version; the installer will automatically clean up previous versions.

Uninstall

  1. Launch the installer again (see install steps).
  2. When prompted, choose the uninstall option.

Troubleshooting

  • If you are getting the Operation not permitted: 'internal' error, do the following steps:
    • Open System Preferences
    • Go to "Security and Privacy", then go to the "Privacy" tab.
    • Scroll down to "Full Disk Access".
    • Click the lock button to make changes, and then use the + button to add Terminal to the list of apps.
    • Try again to run install on MacOS.command.
  • On Ventura:
    • Install iTerm and set it to be your default Terminal. This is not optimal if you like using Terminal, but otherwise seems like a perfectly workable solution.
    • OR Temporarily disable System Integrity Protection. This is not a great solution, because it leaves your computer vulnerable, and you should absolutely not leave your computer in this state.
  • See the troubleshooting page for general troubleshooting.
