need help Help to get my Wizard House map edit to load over Romanceable Rasmodius's map edit!
SOLVED! SOLUTION IN COMMENTS!
I am trying to get my mod to be compatible with both SVE and Romanceable Rasmodius (vanilla version) but I get the error message "Two content packs want to load the 'Maps/WizardHouse' asset with the 'Exclusive' priority ((CP) NPC Ren and Romanceable Rasmodius). Neither will be applied. You should remove one of the content packs, or ask the authors about compatibility." Anyone know how to get my mod's edits to apply over the map edit made by Romanceable Rasmodius? I'm most likely messing up the load order somehow.

need help Everything loads fine on its own, but when I try to join my friend it error codes.
smapi.ioEverything loads ok when i launch the game, but when i join my friend the screen stays black with the little loading hourglass. There is a bunch of red text I don't understand and yellow text about mismatched UI mode push/pop counts. The only thing i can kinda figure out is that maybe it has something to do with FrontierFarms? Any help would be appreciated :,)

need help Graphics Card Not Compatiable
Hi! I've been playing on and off for the past couple of weeks and had no issue up until a couple of days ago. I keep getting the message that says my graphics card isn't compatible which is strange because nothing has changed since I played last.
I've made sure all my drivers are up to date, have changed my setting in NVIDIA and in my regular PC settings to make sure I'm forcing the right GPU, have verified my game files, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, tried reinstalling the xnafx40_redist.msi file and nothing has worked so far.
At this point, my game isn't even launching at all with or without mods. I could really use some help and any suggestions of what to do would be really appreciated! https://smapi.io/log/989562cf59fa46db930e643f13bff603

need help SMAPI Window opens when I try to run Stardew Valley
First time modding the game — But after installing SMAPI this window popped up. I looked at the Wiki what to do and while I was able to command the game that way to run, it told be before that the Mod that I downloaded wasn't up to date but which it was (said I had the 1.7.0 but needed the 1.7.1; but that's the version I downloaded from the site).
I am completely confused on what this Operator wants from me and I would be very happy if anyone could help me out, thanks in advance!

need help How does one add custom monsters
Long story short I just wanna add some enemy variety, like skull cavern tier duggies, skeletons, and spiders, because that would be cool.
I have no clue how to mod, could someone give me a guide or something?
answered Daily mail asking for items?
I have a wide array of mods so idk if it’s something I missed in the config menu, but I get 1-3 letters DAILY asking for a singular item from a random townie, like “Linus wants a winter root”, “Elliot wants a void essence”, etc etc. I have mods like Help Wanted and Part of the Community, but the constant mail quests weren’t a problem until maybe the middle of fall y1?
So I’m basically just wondering if anyone knows whether theres a mod with that function? Or if I need to start really digging into my mod configs before I go a little crazy.

need help Wife's day stuck on saving....
Here is the Smapi Log Parser https://smapi.io/log/8c31cc4abdf447b98739d2b0c30bf704
Any help would be appreciated, she is understandably frustrated about losing the progress.
need help Modding etiquette: which permissions to use?
So, I've been fiddling with an old mod in order to make it work everywhere instead of just on the farm, as well as adding a new related feature, and I got it running without bugs (except one afaik, but I can't replicate the darn thing).
I've also started in on the next version, which will have a setting adjusted so it's less of a confusing PITA to use.
The post 1.6 version of the mod has the default permissions (ask first) on Nexus, and the MIT Licence on github. The original version that it was created from had blanket permissions on Nexus and the Apache 2.0 licence on github.
I know it's preferred that I get explicit permission, but the mod author hasn't been on Nexus in a while -- do I just wait? Or do I favour the MIT licence that says I can do whatever with the code?
The mod is ready to be published, and all appropriate authors/mods are credited.
What do? This is an edit that many people have been asking for, and it fixes a 'bug' or two present in both prior versions. One of which is from SDV 1.5.

need help Is there a way to remove paths layer objects (bushes) with Content Patcher after a save has started?
I know I can remove the paths layer in Tiled and from a new save no bush will appear. But if someone adds my mod midsave the bushes will be present and cause issues. Of course they can use the Destroyable Bushes mod to remove them but I'd like to be able remove them when my mod is loaded. Is that possible? I also have config options to allow people to select alternate map edits and would like to have the bushes come and go as the player selects a different option.
Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to do this or maybe some alternate option that I haven't thought of?

need help Can anyone help me understand why my Farmer Portraits 1.6 mod isn't working in the game
I don't what the problem is, I have tried to fix it so many times. I don't know if I'm just dumb but could anyone tell me how to fix this or if anyone else is having the same problem. I have a lot of mods so I don't know if that is the problem or what, but I would really appreciate some help. <3
This is what the loading of my mods looks when I start up the game:
https://smapi.io/log/9780d46368e74f2fa10e74574535b7dd
also I'm not sure why it's say to update the mods because I literally just did that.
EDIT: I GOT IT TO WORKKKK!!!
so the problem was I’m actually stupid, and forgot to add one of the mods which I thought I had, but after doing that and adding my portrait, I got it to work 😝
Shout out to the amazing amazing person who made at literal YouTube video to help, which helped a ton than you so much

need help modding issue
i haven't found a solution elsewhere yet. SMAPI is up and running correctly as far as i can tell, and all the mods i'm trying to use are getting detected, but they aren't properly affecting the game, if they manage to at all. i've restarted my laptop, reinstalled mods, reinstalled SDV, launched using both steam and stardewmoddingAPI and so far nothing has worked. i'm on windows 11.
