HI HI! I've run into a problem that I'm not sure how to resolve. If you could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it! I loaded Animal Sitter thru a Mod Manager called ModDrop. I never really had occasion to use it, and recently decided to uninstall it, at which point I got a critical failure and StarDew Valley won't load at all. So I tried to reinstall it and got an access error. I don't know if this is ModDrop's problem,or SMAPI or something that you're aware of as a result of attempting to uninstall the mod. I tried to restore to a save point but ran into the same access error. If anyone has any idea what's happening I'd appreciate being pointed in a direction. I have no problem deleting my saved game and starting over because I'm just in "trying out the mods" mode, but the game itself isn't loading thru SMAPI.. LOL troubleshooting steps I've taken already: 1. Reinstalled Animal Sitter. Crashed (Critical Failure on Load) 2. Restored to last save point. Crashed. (Critical Failure on Load) 3. downloaded new files from Nexus Mods, reinstalled new files, Crashed. (Critical Failure on Load) 4. Opened StarDew Valley outside of SMAPI. Game runs without issue. 5. Tried changing Mod Load order. Critical Failure. â6. Tried viewing a nd then deleting the mod from the mod folder and got an error that I needed administrative privileges to access the folder. Here's the error log: [19:44:02 INFO SMAPI] SMAPI 1.9 with Stardew Valley 1.11 on Microsoft Windows 10 Home [19:44:02 DEBUG SMAPI] Mods go here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods [19:44:02 DEBUG SMAPI] Loading SMAPI...

Press any key to exit.

Is this the appropriate place to seek help with a game problem?

Greetings and solicitations! (no, I actually meant Solicitations because I intend to solicit help at some point) I'm an old (er) gamer that actually started an interest in games with a DOS version of some Blizzard entertainment game. At least I think it was Blizzard, LOL. I moved on to Blizzard's Diablo, which, since I was going thru a divorce was especially therapeutic since it was hack and slash. Even my name hearkens back to AOL, when AOL was the go to place for chat, and my 33.3 modem was actually considered a fast connection!!! When I bought my first 56K I thought I was blazing!!! I played Diablo for several years, risking arrest from a military policeman who was investigating a bomb threat at my office. He was pushing me out the door without my laptop, and I told him there were battles on that thing that I REFUSED to fight again. Obviously he wasn't a gamer or he'd have understood. Unfortunately for me, the bomb dogs found my laptop bag verrrry interesting......... I have a long history of editing save files.........just tweaks here and there......so when I started complaining about some small gameplay issues with StarDew Valley, my son introduced me to mods. AND OH MY LORD!! Starbuck's Unicorn has nothing on the sparkles I saw that day. Age has caused an issue with my eyes that prevents me from playing the majority of new games that look so awesome but they all cause motion sickness!! Some games I can play for a little while before it's a problem but most start out immediately. Breaks my heart but what can you do?
