[Windows Update Crashed My PC and Now Stardew Valley Mods Won't Load - Game Crashes on Save Load]

Hi everyone,

I'm in a bit of a pickle and could really use your collective wisdom. Before a recent Windows update, my Stardew Valley game was heavily modded and everything was running smoothly. However, after the update, my computer crashed and, as a result, all my mods were wiped out. I've tried to reinstall them, this time using Vortex for better mod management, but now the game won't even load my saves. Every attempt to start the game and load a save file results in an immediate crash. This has been quite disheartening as I deeply love playing Stardew Valley, and now I can't access my farms or continue my progress.

Here's what I've done so far:

• Reinstalled all my mods through Vortex, ensuring they're the same ones I used before. Maybe I missed some but I got the "big ones", like Stardew Valley Expanded who could make problems when removed

• Attempted to start the game with only a few mods to pinpoint if a specific mod is causing the issue, but no luck. The game is also not working if I try to run it without mods

I'm reaching out to see if anyone has experienced something similar or has any insights on how to resolve this problem. Any advice on troubleshooting steps or specific settings in Vortex that I might need to adjust would be incredibly appreciated.

Thank you so much for any help you can provide!

[Hogwarts Legacy - "Duel Anyone Anywhere" Mod Has Broken My Game - NPCs Constantly Hostile, Need Help!]

Hello everyone,

I've encountered a frustrating issue with my game after installing the "Duel Anyone Anywhere" mod. After the installation, every NPC in the game has become hostile towards me, making it impossible to play. They attack me on sight, preventing me from completing quests or interacting with any characters in a normal manner. The NPCs that are supposed to give me quests are also aggressive, which completely blocks my progress.

Here's what I've tried so far to fix the issue:

• I uninstalled the "Duel Anyone Anywhere" mod, hoping that would revert the changes, but the problem persisted.

• I went as far as uninstalling and then reinstalling the entire game, but that didn't solve the issue either.

It seems like the mod has made permanent changes that aren't being reversed by simply removing it or reinstalling the game. I'm really at a loss here and would greatly appreciate any advice or solutions from the community. Has anyone faced a similar issue? How did you manage to fix it?

Thank you in advance for any help!
