How do i get dang visual mods to work properly? Specifically Elle's Seasonal Buildings.

[MacTireLass]

I've misunderstood something, somewhere. I have the newest SMAPI and Content Patcher is updated. The problem im having, is where to put the folders. I thought because of content patcher all i had to do was drop the selected files into the Mods folder. I did that with other mods and they work but when i do this with the selected files for Elle's buildings, SMAPI says it skipped it because the mod wasn't a SMAPI mod. I've done something wrong here and obviously don't understand Elle's instructions Any advice? Is it just not up to date with SMAPI 2.11?

I grabbed the files from here: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1993
And, tested on my end; they work.

For the SMAPI error, it sounds like the inner mod files were placed in the Mods folder. The instructions on the mod page look like they need updating a bit.

First delete any of the old mod files from "Elle's buildings" mod that you still have installed in the Mods folder.


Grab a fresh download file from the nexusmods page. The downloaded file should be named(at least currently):
"Seasonal Buildings-1993-1-1-1-1553796771.zip"

Extract that file to give you the mods' CP folder; named:
"[CP] Elle's Seasonal Buildings"

Then make sure you copy the whole folder with all the files inside.
And, place it in the SMAPI Mods folder.

Launch SMAPI again, and it should say that the mod loaded okay.
If you'd like to use the defaults continue as normal.


But, if you want to tweak what parts of the mod are loaded. You can close out SMAPI, and modify the "config.json" file that was created in the "[CP] Elle's Seasonal Buildings" folder.
