I know what you mean. I might be able to help, but a question first.

Have you installed smapi, or downloaded the mod yet?

[GriffinsTale]

If you have discord i can explain how to download mods for stardew valley. It took me a hour of messing around with files but i understand it pretty well now

[GriffinsTale]

Im going to try to explain how i downloaded CJB item spawner for W10:

Pre: as a prerequisite you need SV, and someway to extract RAR files (7zip, winRAR, etc) you can download winRAR here: https://www.rarlab.com/download.htm just download the right file for your system (64 or 32 bit)

Step 1: run the game at least once so it can do first-time setup

Step 2: Download the latest version of SMAPI almost every mod requires this you can find it here: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2400

Step 3: Extract the .zip file somewhere i recommend your desktop

Step 4: open this file you just extracted and it will ask you to install just press y and enter it will do its thing just let it work

Step 5: this is probably the most complex step you will now see a line everything past (see smapi.io/install): you need to copy everything past the : including the quotations and the %command% how you do that is you highlight the line and press enter and it should copy

Step 5.5: you now need to go to your steam library and right-click SV and go to properties it should be the bottom of the menu you should now see a option box that has popped up and you will see a option to "Set Launch options" you need to click this and it will open of a text box if there is anything in this txt box backspace it into oblivion then paste the code from step 5 you can do this with ctrl+v then you save your changes

Step 5.55: Open SV to see if you did it right you will know if it did because the launch will be different just let it do its thing it will take a second or three

Step:5.555: If it worked close the game congraduations you just downloaded the backbone to every mod for this game

Step 6: find CJB Item Spanner: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/93

Step 6.6 download it anywhere thats not in your game files i perfer a folder on my desktop

Step 7: go back to steam and go to the properties again but in the top of the popup box press the local files tab then press browse local files

Step 8: you will see a mod folder you now want to go and transfer your mod to this folder and unzip it there just right click the file

Step 8.5: this just keeps your mod folder clean take the left over ziped file and move it out of mods and onto your desktop in a folder or you can trash the zipped folder this step is optional

step 9: you should be done run the game again and test you open the item spawner with "i"

Hope this helps if any steps are unclear just ask i can clarify

this process is the same for 9/10 mods

Ok, you have Windows.
Open your "downloads" file.
Click on the Smapi file first. Extract the files to where I'll tell you next.


Now, this is the harder part.

Go to your "This computer" file, click on it,
Click on "Windows (C:)"
Find "Program Files (x86)"
Click on your "Steam" folder.
Scroll until you find "Steamapps" Click it.
Select Stardew Valley.
Click "Ok"

Now, this should bring up the extracted files. Does it? I'll do my next post after an answer.

[777carelessguy]

ok I'll do that give me a moment
