So, I had decided to just stick with 3.12.8 SMAPI, getting rid of mods that I didn't need or wouldn't work without 3.13-beta SMAPI. I figured out that I have to wait a couple minutes for the new character to be created. The problem is, I can't load up save files until I create a new save file every time I open SMAPI. Then it loads all past save files, along with the new one. It could just be because I'm using a laptop with Windows 8, but is there a way to open up the save files right off the bat without making a new file? I already tried waiting for multiple minutes, but I always have to close the game, reopen it, make a new file, exit back to the title, and then finally get to the save files. It isn't bad, but it's very tedious and takes at least 3-5 minutes before I can even start playing the game.
