Many problems are caused by broken files in the game's <tt>Content</tt> folder (especially if you use XNB mods). You can reset your game files to fix that. If you use any XNB mods, they'll be removed. SMAPI mods won't be affected.
Many problems are caused by broken files in the game's <tt>Content</tt> folder (especially if you use XNB mods). You can reset your game files to fix that.

# If you use XNB mods, reinstall them one at a time. After each install, test the game to make sure the mod doesn't cause problems.
; Option 2: reset one file
: If you installed XNB mods and want to reset one file you know is broken, you can just restore the original file. If you forgot to back it up, here's how to recover the original files without losing your modded ones:
:# Copy your game's <tt>Content</tt> folder to <tt>Content-modded</tt>.
:# Reset your game files (see instructions [https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335 for Steam] or [https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/212807405 for GOG Galaxy]).
:# Copy your (now reset) <tt>Content</tt> folder to <tt>Content-backup</tt>.
:# Move <tt>Content-modded</tt> back to <tt>Content</tt>.
: Now your content files are still modded, but you have a backup of the original files.
