Player's guide to using mods
mod compatibility on Android
for SMAPI mods only (read, not for XNB mods)
- Stardew Valley: 1.4.5 on Android
- SMAPI: 3.5.0.1
- You should feel comfortable updating SDV and/or SMAPI and mods. You are not dumb/foolish/uninformed if you do update any of these.
- Mod authors are very generous with their time; they have taken the initiative to create game changing mods which increase a player's enjoyment.
- There is no expectation that any mod needs to be updated in lock step as SDV or SMAPI updates; it is very nice when the mods we enjoy continue to work, however.
not playable
Entoarox Framework
- Link: Nexusmods link, version 2.4.14
- Status: Does NOT load, AND will crash SDV on load
- further, you will need to completely close/remove SMAPI from active memory
- Details: *any* mod which requires this framework will not work on Android. The error on load is:
Critical app domain exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Entoarox.Framework.Core.EntoaroxFrameworkMod' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeLoadException: Could not resolve type with token 010000ed from typeref (expected class 'StardewValley.Monsters.Crow' in assembly 'xTile, Version=2.0.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null')

Expanded Fridge
- Link: unofficial update from SorryLate, 2.0.4-unofficial.1-SorryLate
- Status: Does not load; SMAPI and SDV will continue to load
- Details:
- SDV will work, however when you go to open your fridge the game will start throwing multiple error/exceptions. You may not realize that these errors are stacking up, but you will need to force stop the game, and the incremental save will not save correctly. You can remove the mod and restart SMAPI; SDV will start, but from the beginning of the day.
- The issue was reported to GitHub

Remote Fridge Storage
- Link
- Status: Loads, but... does not work
- - does not appear to affect the any chest screen, tried using the flipped-image change in config.json
- - flipped-image file wasn't in the mod assets folder.
- - Downloaded the flipped-image files and added them to assets folder, mod would load, but again did not appear to work.

potentially playable
Here Fishy
- Link: Nexusmods link, version 0.2.0 (with the "Here Fishy" audio file)
- Status: Loads, could not get it to work
- Details: install as described
- It requires a right click to work. The simulated right click from the virtual keyboard doesn't seem to cut it.
- (I really wanted this one to work after seeing the video and hearing Ernie saying "Here fishy fishy fishy"!)
|
- Link: Nexusmods link, version 1.0.1
- Status: Loads, could possibly work, has visual issues
- Details: install as described
- The tabs do appear, however they were slighly outside where I could click on my Android device.
- Possibly adjusting the zoom level while in the menu may help.

Pelican Fiber
- Link: unofficial update link
- Status: Loads, lots of visual glitches; still very playable
- - main screen loads up at the wrong resolution, but will change to the right resolution after you click on one shop, then cancel out
- - section text doesn't match up, and is the wrong size
- - screen looks mashed together
- - to exit the mod, you need to "go back" on Android
- Details: install as described, you will need to change the config keybinding since the initial binding is to PageDown
|
Shop Anywhere
- Link
- Status: Loads, lots of visual glitches
- (A) main screen
- - shows up at the wrong resolution, making it too big
- - the section titles don't line up
- - touch areas don't always match up/align with the shop image
- (B) other screen actually works really well; probably because it's a short 3-item button list
- Details: install as described, can mod config to keys you want

playable
Chests Anywhere
- Link:Nexusmods link, version 1.19.5
- Status: Loads and works
- Details: Nothing to add, the mod works on Android. Just bind it to an appropriate key on the virtual keyboard.
|
- Link:Nexusmods link, version 1.5.0
- Status: Loads and works
- Details: The mod works on Android with the following thing to note:
- When running the mod, the main UI window may pop-up towards the bottom right of the screen. After the UI has loaded the map, touching into the UI will make the UI pop to the center of the screen. It will then work with no issues.

Show Players Behind Map Tiles
- Link: Nexusmods link
- Status: Loads and works
- Details: Nothing to add, the mod works on Android. Some items are 'solid' with no transparency (like your outdoor farmhouse roof)-I don't think this is an Android specific feature, however.

Non Destructive NPCs
- Link:Nexusmods link
- Status: Loads and works
- Details: Nothing to add, the mod works on Android.

Daily Tasks Report
- Link: 1.4.2-unofficial.5-mizzion
- Status: Loads and works
- Details: The mod works on Android with the following things to note:
- 1) Let the mod load in SMAPI once, then edit the config.json file to bind it to a key on the virtual keyboard (you may need to add a key to the virtual keyboard also)
- 2) The report button will 'float' on the screen and slide around depending on the pinch-to-zoom level; tap this to start the mod, and turn off the button
- 3) Do NOT use the UI to bind keys to the other options as this will end up binding swipe gestures to the mod functions. The only way to remove them once bound is to edit the config.json file. If this happens, it's best to just delete the config.json file, and run SMAPI to create a new one.
- 4) If you turn on balloons, they may float in their own layer with their own zoom level also. I find the best option is to pinch to zoom until at least one balloon aligns with it's target, then don't pinch again. All the other balloons everywhere in the game will be aligned (until you change the zoom).
- Potential fixes
- Setting zoom level to 0.65 stops the balloons and report button from floating around the screen (and they match up to their intended targets)! You could set this as a seperate key on the virtual keyboard.

Automate
- Link:Nexusmods link, version 1.17.1
- Status: Loads and works
- Details: The mod works on Android with the following things to note:
- 1) Let the mod load in SMAPI once, then edit the config.json file to bind the Overlay to a key on the virtual keyboard (you may need to add a key to the virtual keyboard also)
- 2) The overlay works at "Zoom level 1". That is, if you pinch to zoom the overlay will be wonky (it still works, but it sits at zoom level 1, above whatever your current zoom level is).
- 3) the 'circuits' work!
- Potential fixes
- Use the virtual keyboard button to set the zoom level to 1 before activating the Overlay key.

Portraiture
- Link:Nexusmods link
- Status: Loads and works
- Details: The mod works on Android. Bind this mod to the VolumeDown physical key.
|
Lookup Anything
- Link:Nexusmods link, version 1.27.4
- Status: Loads and works
- Details: The mod works on Android with the following things to note:
- 1) Bind this mod to the VolumeDown physical key.
- 2) You can use the mod on
- a) anything directly in front of the character; this doesn't always give the result you expect, since the game may think something else is in front of your character.
- b) what is most active on the screen. For instance, if you are on the relationships screen, and bring up Jodi, then trigger the mod, it will bring up info about Jodi as expected.
