I believe that Mod Manager Download button was added to SDV mods because Vortex has SDV Support now.
I really hope NMM gets Stardew Valley Support soon to :D
There is a 'Mods' folder inside the Stardew Valley Directory. If there was to be an extension, that would be the folder for NMM to install mods to. Like the 'Data' folder in Bethesda's games.
Still waiting on Stardew Valley Support in NMM.
Any Update on this?
Unless someone makes a pull request with this, it's unlikely to happen. NMM hasn't been in active development by Nexus for several years now.
Id like to give this request a bit of a bump :)
Stardew Valley support would actually be fairly easy to implement now afterall. After the user has installed SMAPI for the game, NMM can either create (If not already present) and/or write to the newly created 'Mods' folder that is created in the games base directory.
As of right now, when I click on the mod manager download links on any of the Stardew Valley mods, I receive an error saying "Unrecognized Game Mode stardewvalley". However the normal manual download button works just fine on those mods.
My ideal solution would be one of two things. The first would be to expand the Nexus Mod Manager and allow it to support the game by adding the necessary class library in the mods folder, and adding any additional required files. The second solution I had in mind was additional documentation on the Wiki so a someone familiar with C# may be able to add to support to the game. An alternate solution to the problem would be to remove the Nexus Mod Manager download button on the mod pages, which I have to reason to believe are generated on a per game basis from a template that reads information from a database.
