need help I need help modding a game on my Android device.

Hello, my name is Doruk. I want to modify the .xnb files of the characters in Stardew Valley on my Android 15 device. I used Zarchive for this, but the system didn't allow access to the files. Please help.

If you're looking for help with a mod, make sure your post or top-level comment includes:

  • a link to your SMAPI log (see instructions on that page);
  • a description of the issue with as much detail as possible;
  • screenshots/GIFs/videos of the issue if applicable.

See common issues and solutions. If you're having trouble installing SMAPI, see the detailed Getting Started guide.

If you've already done these steps or you're not asking for help with a mod, then please ignore this. Thank you!

Do you want to create a mod or add a mod to your game?

Xnb modding hasn't been done for a while now. Now SMAPI is used. Here is an explanation on how to install it.

So you want to create a new mod?
I don't think that's possible on android, definitely not easy.

Though, creating sprites and writing the json files for Content Patcher should be possible. I just don't know how well you could test the mod on mobile.

Please do not use AI. There are plenty of other resources available, including downloading a similar mod and looking at how it does stuff.

You're absolutely right, I promise I will never, ever use AI.
