@ProspectivePlans when you download smapi it will show up in the steam folder Go to steam > stardew valley > gear icon > browse local files you should see the mods folder there
Just got a steam deck today, and came across your page. So excited to find someone that looks like me and plays similar games. Thanks for the tutorial! Just found a game called Roots of Pacha that's like a stone age version of Stardew Valley; it's super cute if you're looking for a new game to throw in the mix!
Your steamdeck is so cute! Also thank you so much for your tutorials--they make modding so effortless and honestly I didn't think it was possible for me until I found your channel
It’s THIS easy?? Thank you for giving me the confidence to try modding. It intimidates me a lot and this just totally made it seem much more manageable 💕💕
Thank you so very much!! I spent hours going thru different vids trying to add visible fish mod ( my first mod ever ) and after following your steps it worked!!! I’m so happy 😂❤ your guide is easy to follow for a noob like me, thank you thank you !!!
THIS WAS THE EASIEST MOST WELL EXPLAINED TUTORIAL!!!! Every other video made it seem so complicated wow thank you so much for this video!! Subscribed!!!
Oh my god. I didn’t realize I could actually use a browser like that, I was so confused on how people had done emulators and stuff. Thank you so much!!! I finished my full first playthrough hitting perfection and I just NEED more time with this game
Wait a minute. It’s that easy 🤦🏾♀️. I been struggling for no reason 😂 I tried before and I downloaded nexus then it mentioned I needed vortex then I got lost. This is simple for me as a sims player. I knew I could do it 😂 thank you so much.
Been wanting to do this. Thanks for making this!! You made it so easy to follow. I'm not the best when it comes to this fancy mod stuff so I appreciate you making it a simple process lol TY!! ❤💙
I've got stardew valley on nintendo switch but decided to buy it on steam deck thanks yo you! I want to get that baldurs gate mod for it when it comes out haha
@@CozygirlSteph so I have looked and looked but maybe I missed it. Do you have or can you please do a video adding the lavender UI? I’m doing something wrong. Also maybe doing a reshade/toned down colors mod? You are so great at the step by step explaining…I feel it would be helpful to us newbies (or maybe just me) 🥰
Just out of curiosity, I have seen several people say they have to hit the steam button along with X to get the keyboard to pop up, I do not have to do that. All I do is hit X and it pops up. Wondering why mine is different.
I want to do a full modded playthrough on my Steam Deck so this is really helpful! 💖 Do you update mods individually on your Deck and PC? I think mod managers can do it for you somehow, but I have no idea about them and have been looking for guidance!
thank you so much for the tutorial! I got my mods on and everything was fine until i tried to open one of my saved farm files and the game crashed 😥 im hoping its just one of my mods being weird but hopefully i can figure out how to fix it later lol
Hello I hope you can help me, after install copy the mode in the game like you my game go out of the library in the game mode, I need to search in the store again and play it after put in the favorites so I can view it in the library but no look it as install, I did something wrong?
This is so helpful thank you! Also your setup is beautiful I've noticed with mods I get screen tear and a lot of lag when fishing/farming/attacking did you get this or know of a fix?
Help, I've tried everything but can't seem to get smapi working. Like it doesn't show the white screen before playing. (1.6.3 tried both smapi 4.6 and 4.5)
It works! Deleted the game and smapi. I had to set the compatibility mode to native in the steam launcher instead of proton! Then install smapi again and works like a charm
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I can’t wait to try it! Question: do you have stardew downloaded to a SD card or the ssd on the deck? I’m hoping SMAPI will work with the game on my SD card.
When I start up Stardew I don’t get the white screen with the mods loading, do you know what I could have done wrong? I have the mod loaders and everything
@@CozygirlSteph no I don’t see them at all, I watched your other video and it’s an issue I have with smapi, I get the error of “no such file or directory” could you explain in detail how to fix that or maybe suggest me to a guide?
Oh nooo do you think it has something to do with mods you’ve put on it ? And I do not know that particular mod so I can’t say how to make it work on steamdeck im sorry 🥹
I did. I went ahead and got one. And I LOVE it so far! I can lay down and play modded Stardew! lol Plus all the other games that were strickly windows.
Okay.. question.. is there any way that you can have a mod on one save but not another?? (like if you want to have stardew expanded on one but not another??) I have no idea how to mod anything other than when i would mod sims years ago 😂😅
@CozygirlSteph it isn't loading the mods at all done Multiple undowlands and re downloads restarted my deck 4 times uninstall all the mods and redownalded them I watched your other video how to set it up and re watched this one a lot as well there been no red writing I just don't vet why it isn't loading in a single mod also thank you for the fast reply I super appreciate it
@CozygirlSteph I did have it installed so many times as well as unistailing it and Value stream deck 64GB - black B and yeah it said it was right as I watched your video how to do it and it looked the same as yours honestly I'm not good at tach sorry for this but thank you so much for the help
I have all my files in external other than proton files because I have first gen cheapest model. Please don't tell me to buy a new Deck because I am broke af now.
Hello I have some kind of issue when I play with SMAPI using battery it drain faster than vanilla like 4x times. TDP is like 15W is it same for you too? TL;DR with using SMAPİ I got 2 hours playing time.
This is great. Got all of my mods now on steamdeck. Does anyone know how I change it so that the smapi opens on steam instead of doing it from the folder? ( I like to have my hours counted 😂😂) I know how to change it on windows but not sure what to type on steam deck to do it
@CozygirlSteph so I ended up moving my entire mods folder from my pc to my steam deck. Works perfectly. You just need to ensure you have Linux SMAPI, and then you're good to go. All my mods work, and you get to keep all your configuration settings. I did this with a USB Type-C flash drive. I believe I have 201 mods. The mods aren't configured for Windows, Apple, or Linux.
Edit: I didn't know there was a second video, I'm so sorry 😭 (It took me a couple days before I seen it lol) Loved both your tutorials, were insanely helpful, (Is there a way we can see what was highlighted red before the game loads? I seen something but I wasn't able to see which one of my mods it was before it loaded the game haha)
Queen!!!! I have questions I’ve been trying to research and I like how you explained this!!! Is it the same strategy with every other game? When you looked up the mod, can you also type in a game name to see what the available mods are for it? I’m also scared when it comes to accidental virus downloads , is that a thing? 🫶 also subscribed I appreciate it would love a thorough outlook because I get anxious lol
Hello ☺️ Yes with most games it’s the same! As long as you download from Nexus you’ll never get a virus as all mods are scanned for viruses! You can also type in mod names at the top and you’ll get a list of that mod & similar ones. I hope this helped! Any more questions please let me know! ☺️ thank you for subscribing!
sorry if this was mentioned in the video, but i was wondering what steam deck you have and how much storage you have on it? i want one to play modded stardew mainly, so i’m not sure which version i should get 🙇♀️🥹
I’d go for either the 512GB or 1TB OLED, but steam decks are super easy to upgrade the SSD on, only problem is that the part is pretty expensive. I got the 2TB SSD from ifixit and it cost like £189 but I rlly needed it because shaders were taking up so much space 😭
So you’re telling me its really this simple to add mods, I can definitely order a Steam Deck now! THANK YOU
You’re so welcome 💕🫶🏾
the steam deck will enrich your life in any way possible, DO IT
@ABC-kx3ml I agree! It had taken my gaming up by 100000 lol
So I’m back with a birthday Steamdeck, but stuck unable to find the ‘Mods’ folder do I just create one within the Stardew folder? PLS HELP
@ProspectivePlans when you download smapi it will show up in the steam folder
Go to steam > stardew valley > gear icon > browse local files you should see the mods folder there
omg i was thinking about getting a steam deck so i could try playing the 1.6 update + modding - thank you for this!!
Of course and I’d def do go for it!! 🫶🏾🩷

How do I get the mods folder?
hi! thank you so much for the tutorial!! i was wondering where you got the skin/case or whatever it's called for your deck? ^^ it's so cute!
Yes I got them from Amazon!
everything worked for me exept manage local files. no mod folder shows up for me :( Help?
Did you reboot ?
@CozygirlSteph I ended up finding the folder but it still didn't work 🙃 I fear I may be stupid
@JJ-fo9sq don’t say that I’m sure it’s just a simple mistake
Thank you for this!! Which CSS loader things are you using for your library in the beginning of the video? I love the look! ❤
Thank you! I am using centered home , obsidian , & round
I want to do a full modded playthrough on my Steam Deck so this is really helpful! 💖 Do you update mods individually on your Deck and PC? I think mod managers can do it for you somehow, but I have no idea about them and have been looking for guidance!

I don’t I’m sorry this is the only way I do it that I know that works for sure

Help, I've tried everything but can't seem to get smapi working. Like it doesn't show the white screen before playing. (1.6.3 tried both smapi 4.6 and 4.5)
Have your tried a fresh install ?
@CozygirlSteph yup, didn't help 😅
I def would just do a fresh install ( delete smapi then reinstall it ) or you could reboot your SD and see if that helps
It works! Deleted the game and smapi. I had to set the compatibility mode to native in the steam launcher instead of proton! Then install smapi again and works like a charm
@ambrosesays ahhh I’m so glad! I was stumped on my it wouldn’t work but I’m so happy it does now for you! Happy gaming 💜✨
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I can’t wait to try it!

Do big mods like SDV expanded and ridgeside village run okay on steam deck?

Yes!
just got my steamdeck and im not very tech savy at all but i want to try this! Will this also work for potrait mods? (Dc burger)
Yes it should!

Did you use the video in the description to download smapi first ?
Maybe I missed a step.. I don’t have a mods folder? Halp.
Mods folder will be accessible when you open the local files

I have all my files in external other than proton files because I have first gen cheapest model. Please don't tell me to buy a new Deck because I am broke af now.
how many mods do you have working since the new update?
All of mine currently work 🥰
Can you please do one for coral island on steam deck?
Sure!
Hello I have some kind of issue when I play with SMAPI using battery it drain faster than vanilla like 4x times. TDP is like 15W is it same for you too? TL;DR with using SMAPİ I got 2 hours playing time.

Can you do this with sun haven too?
Yes you can!

Yes I stated in the video that I followed a tutorial from another guy on how to install smapi on deck
Can you mod stardew valley on any version of the steam deck?
Yes you can!
Im getting a steam deck cuz my computer barely works and i prefer playing with a controller. Im one paycheck away from buying one.
Love this for you!!! ✨🩵

Hmm I’m not sure what you mean can you clarify maybe I can help then !
@@CozygirlSteph oh silly me it does it automatically on Linux :) on Windows you have to select the new location to launch smapi on steam.
