Custom Museum Framework (CMF)

🎨 **Custom Museum Framework (CMF)** allows you to create your own version of the museum. Unlike the original museum run by Gunther, CMF offers **tremendous** flexibility in almost every aspect.

✨ Core Functions

  • Customize almost every museum-related feature
  • Curate collection exhibitions according to personal preferences
  • No need to limit yourself to a one-to-one replica of the original museum
  • Supports customizing lost books (also considered a custom library framework)

🎯 Instructions for use

**For players:**

  • This mod itself does not provide any functionality
  • Only needs to be installed if other mods require it

**For modders:**

  • Check out the full documentation to learn how to create a custom museum
  • Refer to the example museum in the miscellaneous files

🔧 Installation Guide

  • Install the latest version of SMAPI
  • Unzip the module to the Stardew Valley/Mods folder
  • Run the game using SMAPI

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)

  1. Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
  2. Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
  3. Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
  4. Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.

Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
