==FAQs about Stardew Valley 1.6==

; Do I need NET 5.0?

For all other mods, check smapi.io/mods for the latest version, which may be an an unofficial update.

: Stardew Valley 1.6 has [[Modding:Migrate to Stardew Valley 1.6|a huge number of changes to help mod authors]]. For players, it has {{version|1.6|a lot of player changes}} and will also let mods do much more in the future.

Your antivirus might remove or report SMAPI/mod files. This is almost always a false positive, meaning the files don't contain a trojan.

Your antivirus or browser might delete, block, or report SMAPI or mod files. This is almost always a false positive, meaning the files don't contain a trojan.

:; '''How can I know if it's actually safe?'''

:: Nothing on the Internet is guaranteed, but SMAPI itself is most likely safe — you can check by {{github|Pathoschild/SMAPI|reading the code}}, [https://www.jetbrains.com/decompiler/ decompiling the download], or [https://www.virustotal.com/ uploading it to VirusTotal]. (VirusTotal scans the file with sixty or so antiviruses; if only one or two detect an issue, it's most likely a false positive.)

Antiviruses often show a fake trojan name like <samp>Trojan:Win32/Emali.A!cl</samp> for this. Antiviruses learn to allow it after enough users download it, but that resets for each release.

::* You can wait a few days before downloading a new update (or a few weeks for a less popular mod). Once enough users have downloaded it, your browser won't considers it an unknown file anymore.

::* ''Or'' the browser UI which says the file is supicious should have a 'more info' link, or a symbol like '''⋮''' or '''▼''' which indicates options. Click that to show the option to download it anyway.
