Pay attention to the distinction, there are many products with the same name online
SMUI is not an interactive interface for SMAPI. The name is just to commemorate these generations of projects.
SMUI is a dedicated module manager for Stardew Valley that uses integration packages as the framework and user programming as the core to support all types of Stardew Valley.
Not only modules, but also operations such as placing folders and files into the game folder are all supported and managed.
Unlike traditional managers, SMUI manages mods in a purpose-built modpack structure in the form of categories and items
In SMUI, there is no clear concept of modules, each item can contain anything
The program determines how to install and uninstall and determine whether to install through the "installation command" written by the user.
These "installation commands" are not as complicated as real code, there are no strange and difficult to remember symbols, they do not require any programming experience, and they do not belong to any coding language.
A simple two lines of text can let the program know that the folder needs to be copied to Mods, and calculate various information, whether it is installed, and version comparison.
It can even be generated with one click, and for basic SMAPI MOD installation, it can be generated fully automatically with the click of a button
Windows version only, please check the system requirements in the tutorial documentation
You have to move all your mods into the modpacks used by SMUI, otherwise it won't make any sense
I know it will take you a few hours to work on the integration package at first, but then you will find that what used to be a tedious operation is now just a click of the mouse.
If your organization provides a packaged data sharing service that integrates packages, it will be much easier for you.
Please read the tutorial document carefully. If you ask me how to operate it, I can only show you a screenshot of the tutorial, which is meaningless.
Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)
- Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
- Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
- 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.
