SMAPI VS UIInfoSuite2

I already looked at all the basic troubleshooting plus the steps recommended on smapi.io log parser, but I am still having the red error messages.

So turns out the strict-mode smapi is a separate installer, it's on nexus below the regular version. Either download the regular version from nexus (the first file at the top) or the version from smapi.io, they're the same. You're welcome!

Also just for easy reference, here is the link to the instructions for installing SMAPI (the framework upon which all of Stardew modding exists, pretty much).

Download and reinstall SMAPI: https://smapi.io/

Alright, looks like this is a Content Patcher mod, so there's a couple things to install first. I'm not sure how much the video walked you through. First, install SMAPI. This is used for pretty much all stardew mods I know of, so you may have already done this. https://smapi.io/ Then, install Content Patcher, by dropping the unzipped file into your Stardew Valley/Mods folder (there's install instructions on the page for SMAPI and CP). https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1915 Then, download the mod(s) you want. Unzip them if needed and put the folders in Stardew Valley/Mods. Make sure you changed the game client on Steam to SMAPI, I think the install wizard tells you how to do it, or look at step 5 here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows Then everything should be working!

Send us your smapi log, maybe there’s some issues with mods

I don’t use better ranching personally because ui info suite dose the same and even more

says Stardew Valley Expanded is an empty folder... not installed correctly. Check the Wiki instructions here. UiInfoSuite has to be downloaded from github for the current version at https://github.com/Annosz/UIInfoSuite2

Also, unrelated, but this is the functional version of UI Info Suite, since your version isn't loading.

Here is the updated version of UI info suite.

This is the mod :- https://github.com/Annosz/UIInfoSuite2/releases

Also, this is the version of UI info suite that you need to use

A lot of people swear by UIinfoSuite2 but the updated version is not on Nexus, it is at GitHub.

Moddrop is one of the sites recommended in the wiki and as far as I'm aware is generally considered safe. I generally get most mods from nexusmods but I do have one (UIinfosuite2) that I download directly from the github page.

UI Info Suite (has to be that version; Nexus version is outdated) gives more informative mouse-overs and displays icons near the top right corner for things you might easily forget, like birthdays, tomorrow's weather, whether the traveling merchant is in the valley at the moment, etc.

You need the unofficial update of UI Info Suite, which can be found here.
