This page explains how to install SMAPI (the tool which lets you use mods) on Mac. See also:

Install

  1. Install Mono.
    1. If this doesn't work, see Mono Issues below
  2. Download the latest version of SMAPI.
  3. Extract the .zip file somewhere (but not in your game folder!).
  4. Run the install on Mac.command file, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    The installer will detect your game and add SMAPI for you.

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).

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

Mono Issues?

Does it still not work after installing mono from Mono? Try this alternative:

  1. Install Homebrew
  2. Run brew install mono mono-libgdiplus in terminal

Update

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

Uninstall

Run mono install.exe and choose uninstall.
