Content Patcher

Loads content packs that change the game's images and data without replacing XNB files.

Nope, only content packs for Content Patcher will work. You can use XNB Loader to load older XNB mods.

Content Patcher lets you run certain mods by dropping them into your Mods folder, instead of replacing XNB files under Content. That only works for mods updated to work with Content Patcher. This has a lot of benefits over XNB mods:
- update checks;
- compatibility checks;
- easy to install and uninstall;
- much easier to troubleshoot since all the info is in the SMAPI log;
- much less chance of conflicts between two mods;
- much less likely to break in game updates.

See this post for more background info: Upcoming: content packs, Content Patcher, and maybe the end of XNB mods.

* Added Enabled field to disable individual patches (thanks to f4iTh!).
* Added support for XNB files in FromFile.
* Added support for maps in FromFile which reference unpacked PNG tilesheets.

Hi there! I tried to use the Yoseiri (sp?) scarecrow mods with this but it hasn't worked. I put the Content Patcher into my mods folder and also the Content Pack from them. Is there a step that I am missing? Thanks in advance!

Hi! Can you try it again, upload your SMAPI log (see instructions on that page), and share the link here?
