No cave in the desert leading to the skull cave, help please?

[Excaliblast]

I just got the skull key and went to the desert to use it, but that cave just doesn't exist. I went to the northwest area, checked youtube videos to make sure I was in the right spot, etc. The cave is not there like I see in the videos/screenshots. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Are you using mods?

Yes, I am. Is one of them known for messing up the cave?

I don't know of any in particular, but that would be my guess.

I would recommend going through your mods and checking their Nexus pages (assuming you got them there) to see if any of them are particularly old or if anyone has mentioned this issue in the posts or bugs tab. You could also post your mod list here in case anyone might recognize one that could be causing this.

If you want to be sure that it's a mod issue first, you could try loading the save without mods to see if the entrance is there without them. You can do this quickly by launching the game directly from StardewValley.exe in the game files.

What mods are you using? Stardew valley expanded moved the mines. If you have that installed look SE

I'm using Expanded, where are the mines in Expanded?

I meant south east when I said SE. Sorry, I guess the short hand wasn't as recognizable as I thought

the cave is there down in the bottom right corner of the desert map, down a little opening in the cliff. I dont know why they moved it so far.
