This page explains how to install SMAPI (the tool which lets you use mods) on Windows. See also:
Install
- Part 1: install SMAPI
- Run the game without SMAPI at least once so it can do first-time setup.
- Download the latest version of SMAPI.
- Extract the .zip file somewhere (but not in your game folder!).
- Double-click install.exe¹, and follow the on-screen instructions.
The installer will detect your game and add SMAPI for you. - If you use Steam, continue to the next section. Otherwise just run StardewModdingAPI.exe in your game folder to play with mods.
- Part 2: configure Steam
- You can use SMAPI through the Steam client to enable the overlay and achievements. This requires a few more steps.
- Keep SMAPI's installer window open.
(If you already closed it, just run it again. No need to uninstall first.) - Copy this text:
(To copy the text, click and drag to select it, then right-click to copy. Make sure you copy the entire line, including both quotes and the%command%
part.) - In the Steam client, right-click on Stardew Valley and choose Properties:
- Click General > Set Launch Options:
- Replace anything in the textbox with the text you copied from the installer.
To paste text, click in the box and press CTRL and V. - Click OK to save your changes.
- From now on, just launch the game through Steam to run SMAPI with the Steam overlay and achievements.
- Keep SMAPI's installer window open.
¹ To install manually instead, see instructions in the installer's readme.
Update
Just install the new version; the installer will automatically clean up previous versions. (You don't need to configure Steam again.)
Uninstall
- Run install.exe and choose uninstall.
- Blank the Steam launch options (if you changed them).
(If you want to play without mods temporarily, you can just launch Stardew Valley.exe directly instead.)
