error after modding: "Content\spring_Dusty.xnb" not found

[fourofcups]

hello steam community ! i played with mods downloaded no problem for a few days, and then i found a couple new ones i wanted to try. now when i run the game through the moddingAPI, the title cards play, the loading music starts, and i can get to the choose-character screen. the following is what the SMAPI command box reads up until i click my character's profile:

then when i do click my character, i get the blank "Loading..." screen for just a few seconds before it re-routes itself to the concernedape title card. this is what the SMAPI box reads at that point:

"Karmylla's Immersive Map Edits" try to reload it or reinstall or so

i deleted it altogether but it still goes back to the title screen when i try to load my character :-( same error code

Try verifying the integrirty of the files, it may undo all mods, but at this point if it does, then maybe you'll be able to play the game

Look through your downloaded mods and see if you can find spring_Dusty, then put it in your content file.

i've verified everything a couple times actually ! a few times some of them weren't found but they were all restored

i've searched all my folders :-( that file does not exist

If nothing else you can uninstall & delete the stardew valley folder you have then re-install it to get a clean file to mod again.

Obviously you will want to back-up your save files before doing this since you might lose it during the un-install & re-install process.

[DarkStarKnight]

At this point, all I can suggest is uninstalling and reinstalling if it's not working still

[fourofcups]

i ended up deleting all my mods, re-installing the ones i really wanted, and skipped kamylla's immersive map mod. apparently it's not fit for newer updates ! no problems since

[Geothermal1159]

Glad you got it working again!
