(Edit) Aw crap this is an old topic. The file you unzip will have the actual mod folder inside of it. That is the folder you want in the mods folder. In other words, the mod is one folder "too deep." This is what will happen when you unzip: - Stardew Valley - "Mods" (Mods folder that you put mods into) - "mod-########.###.####" (extracted folder) - [actual folder for mod you are trying to install] - .dll files - manifest.json - etc. This is what you actually want - Stardew Valley - "Mods" (Mods folder that you put mods into) - [actual folder for mod you are trying to install] - .dll files - manifest.json - etc. - "mod-########.###.####" (extracted folder)
