Introduction
A “mod” is just a package of files that modifies Stardew Valley in some way. Mods can add features (like showing NPC on the map), change game mechanics (like making fences decay more slowly), make aesthetic changes (like making your home look like a hobbit house), and more.
Using mods is easy! You just need:
SMAPI
SMAPI is the mod loader of Stardew Valley. Launch the game with mod support and allow mods to interact directly with the game code. It is installed safely together with your normal game and you can uninstall it at any time.
Install SMAPI
- Run the game without SMAPI at least once (so that it can perform the initial configuration).
- Download the latest version of SMAPI smapi.io – https://smapi.io/.
- Extract the .zip file somewhere (but NOT in the game folder!).
- Double-click on install Windows.bat and follow the instructions on the screen.
The installer will detect your game and add SMAPI for you. Alternatively, go to the “internal” folder and extract with a program such as 7-zip or winzip or winrar the file “windows-install.dat (which is actually a simple .zip), at this point copy all its contents into the game installation folder. Mods will be placed in the Mods folder. To start the game by loading the mods, start “StardewModdingAPI.exe.
Do mods disable Steam achievements?
Steam achievements work fine, as long as you launch SMAPI through Steam. Make sure you follow the stardewvalleywiki.com – https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows on Windows (no Steam changes needed on Linux or Mac). If the Steam overlay works, the achievements should work too.
