Stardew Valley

Use the Nexus Mods app to manage your Stardew Valley mods!

Features

On top of the basic mod management features, players also benefit from these dedicated features:

SMAPI Installer

Manage your installation of Stardew Modding API (SMAPI) by simply downloading and installing it as you would with any other mod. Once installed, your SMAPI version and game version are compared to ensure that they are compatible.

Loadout Health Check

Get information on potential issues in your loadout(s). Learn more about Health Checks.

Diagnostics are shown in the following situations:

  • SMAPI is recommended when no mods are installed yet.
  • One or more mods requiring SMAPI are installed but SMAPI is missing.
  • The installed SMAPI version is too old to work with the game version.
  • The game version is too old to work with the installed SMAPI version.
  • An installed mod's dependencies are installed, but they are outdated.
  • An installed mod has missing dependencies.
  • An installed mod's dependencies are installed, but they are disabled.
  • A mod that requires SMAPI is installed but SMAPI is missing.
  • A mod that requires SMAPI is installed but SMAPI is disabled.
  • A mod is marked as obsolete or broken (according to SMAPI).
  • A mod is overwriting the game files (XNB mod).

Loadout-specific Config Files

Settings files for mods (e.g. config.json) are saved as part of a Loadout. This allows for different combinations of settings to be used in each loadout. Copying a loadout will duplicate all existing settings whereas creating a new loadout will start with the defaults. See Loadouts.

Edit Config Files

Easily edit mod config files in your loadout(s). When new config files are created after starting the game, the app will automatically assign them to mod they correspond to. To edit these settings select the mod in the "My Mods" view and click "View Mod Files" on the toolbar. Locate the config file (e.g. config.json) and click "Edit File" from the toolbar. Click save when finished editing, then apply the changes to your game.

Selective Game Backup

When managing Stardew Valley the app will back up only the core game files (default) or the entire game folder. Backing up the whole game requires significantly more hard drive space. This option can be toggled in the Settings menu.
