TIP: Download mods into a folder other than <code>Mods</code> and unzip there before moving the correct folder(s) into <code>Mods</code>.  This helps prevent errors related to extra files.

If you have a lot of mods, you can optionally organise them into subfolders. SMAPI will automatically search inside each folder until it finds one with files.

<li>To disable a folder, just add a dot in front of the folder name (like <code>.disabled mods</code>). Windows won't let you do that by default, but just put a dot at the end too and it'll let you (like <code>.disabled mods.</code>).</li>
If you have a folder that looks like <code>PineapplesEverywhere-1234567890</code>, check inside it for the actual mod folder. Folders named like this often have more folders and possibly readme files inside them.

Some mods may come with a <code>MacOS</code> folder. This is a junk file for Windows users, you may safely delete these folders to prevent errors.

<li>Some mods may come with a <code>__MACOSX</code> folder. This isn't needed, and can safely be deleted to prevent errors. {{SMAPI upcoming|3.0|SMAPI 3.0 now ignores these folders.|inline=1}}</li>
