→Frequent questions: + What is SMAPI?
Yep. Stardew Valley 1.3 beta is still new, so check [[Modding:SMAPI compatibility]] to see if the mod is compatible. Usually each player can have their own mods (or not use mods at all), but it depends on the mod. Not all mods work well in multiplayer, and some mods may affect other players even if they don't have it installed. Try checking the mod description to see if it says anything about multiplayer (often under a 'compatibility' header). If it's a Content Patcher or XNB mod, see [https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/tree/develop/ContentPatcher#compatibility how those work in multiplayer] (even if not done through Content Patcher).

===What is SMAPI?===
SMAPI is the mod loader for Stardew Valley. It works fine with GOG and Steam achievements, it's compatible with Linux/Mac/Windows, you can uninstall it anytime, and there's a friendly community if you need help. SMAPI is required for most types of Stardew Valley mod.
SMAPI does a lot for you. For example, it will...
# Load mods into the game and provide APIs they can use. Many types of mod aren't possible without SMAPI.
# Rewrite mods for crossplatform compatibility, so you can use almost any mod on Linux/Mac/Windows.
# Intercept errors. If a mod crashes or causes an error, SMAPI will intercept the error, show the error details in the console window, and in most cases automatically recover the game.
# Provide update checks. SMAPI automatically alerts you when a new version of a mod is available.
# Provide compatibility checks. SMAPI automatically detects when a mod is incompatible and disables it before it causes problems.
