Mods don't work

[FanKud]

Mods like json assets, saat, sve don't work.

[RakanIV]

Don't expect too much it's in alpha release.

You can't play the major expansions for now. spacecore and json assets don't work and content patcher ignoring a lot of mods.

[EiKQr]

the same here fails a lot content patcher and texture packs the vast majority of textures do not load, we can only wait for future updates

[XR-GAMES-REAL]

It's that (SAAT) mode isn't compatible yet but i tried other modes and they worked fine like better ranching. We just have to wait for zaneyork to fix it. And please be patient.

[Pathoschild]

Make sure you upload your full SMAPI log and post the link here when reporting a mod which doesn't work. It has more info than the console (like why the mod isn't compatible).

If you're curious, here's how to see the technical reason in the log:

expand for steps

1. On the uploaded log's page, enable 'TRACE' messages: >  2. Under "Loading mods..." in the log text, check the faded-out text for the broken mod. >

This isn't mine log, but it does include the SAAT error: https://smapi.io/log/f78e698820da437686ff439780966078

NPC map location mod doesn't work as well, here's the log: smapi log

[LilimVipera]

I tested Content Patch without any other mods, here the log: https://smapi.io/log/45dc0ff386454b5795c88cec8643c323 Hopefully it's helpful

Btw, I also tried Generic Mod Configuration Menu. You see the cog button on start, but can't click it. Inside the game, you can enter the settings, but scrollbars don't work, as well as scrolling in general. Checkboxes work, as well as saving changes

Since logs will expire after a few weeks, here's a summary of the logged errors so far:

Common errors

Collection was modified

Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.

In .NET 5.0, you can edit a dictionary's values (but not keys) while enumerating it. Some PC mods do that to avoid copying the collection (which is expensive) or creating a separate list of edits (which is clunky). Unfortunately it seems Xamarin still has the old behavior. That might be tricky for SMAPI to rewrite; modders might need to avoid that optimization (at least when running on Android).

Reference to {some facade} (no such method)

Broken code in CJBCheatsMenu.dll: reference to StardewModdingAPI.Framework.ModLoading.RewriteFacades.OptionsElementMethods.draw (no such method).

SMAPI automatically rewrites mods for compatibility with the current OS (e.g. Android), and 'rewrite facades' are one of the ways it does that. We probably just need to add the missing methods to SMAPI's rewrite facades.

Invalid IL code

InvalidProgramException: Invalid IL code in Pathoschild.Stardew.Common.CommonHelper:GetLocations (bool): IL_0000: callvirt 0x0a000063

SMAPI's rewriters may be producing broken code somehow, or .NET 5.0 code may need to be rewritten for Xamarin compatibility.

For many mods, this happens when they reference Game1.locations, even if it's just assigned to a variable:

// works fine
IList<GameLocation> gameLocations = new List<GameLocation>();
this.CustomLocationManager.Apply(SaveGame.loaded?.locations, gameLocations);

// fails
IList<GameLocation> gameLocations = Game1.locations;
this.CustomLocationManager.Apply(SaveGame.loaded?.locations, gameLocations);

That field is IList<GameLocation> on Windows but List<GameLocation> on Android. So adding a rewriter to change Game1.location references from IList to List might fix a lot of the still-broken mods, including Content Patcher.

Reported mods

NPC Map Locations 2.11.3

Broken code in NPCMapLocations.dll: reference to StardewModdingAPI.Framework.ModLoading.RewriteFacades.OptionsElementMethods.draw (no such method), reference to StardewModdingAPI.Framework.ModLoading.RewriteFacades.OptionsElementMethods..ctor (no matching constructor).

See common errors.

PyTK 1.23.2 (doesn't load)

Skipped [...] because its DLL couldn't be loaded. (Error: Mono.Cecil.AssemblyResolutionException: Failed to resolve assembly: 'System.Diagnostics.Debug, Version=4.0.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' at Mono.Cecil.BaseAssemblyResolver.Resolve (Mono.Cecil.AssemblyNameReference name, Mono.Cecil.ReaderParameters parameters) [0x00074] in <ee112d265aad4e098cf6cf7bf2806b0e>:0 at Mono.Cecil.BaseAssemblyResolver.Resolve (Mono.Cecil.AssemblyNameReference name) [0x00007] in <ee112d265aad4e098cf6cf7bf2806b0e>:0 at ...

I guess System.Diagnostics.Debug doesn't work on Android, or possibly SMAPI isn't rewriting it correctly?

SAAT.API 1.1.2 (doesn't load)

Broken code in SAAT.API.dll: reference to StardewModdingAPI.Framework.ModLoading.RewriteFacades.ISoundBankMethods.GetCueDefinition (no such method), reference to StardewValley.ISoundBank.AddCue (no such method).

See common errors.

Stardew Notification 1.8.7 (partly broken)

InvalidProgramException: Invalid IL code in StardewNotification.GeneralNotification:CheckForSpringOnions (StardewModdingAPI.ITranslationHelper): IL_0001: callvirt 0x0a000019

This seems like SMAPI's rewriters producing broken code somehow.

TMXL Map Toolkit 1.24.1 (doesn't load)

Same error as PyTK.

Tractor Mod 4.16.4 (partly broken)

InvalidProgramException: Invalid IL code in Pathoschild.Stardew.TractorMod.ModEntry/<GetLocations>d__37:MoveNext (): IL_0047: callvirt 0x0a00003c

[sipudadek]

please help my mod keep showing this error https://smapi.io/log/248b41207c114560ac46265ab9ec50bf

[Pathoschild]

I looked into the Content Patcher errors with an affected user.

The "invalid IL code" error happens when a mod references Game1.locations, even if it's just assigned to a variable:

// works fine
IList<GameLocation> gameLocations = new List<GameLocation>();
this.CustomLocationManager.Apply(SaveGame.loaded?.locations, gameLocations);

// fails
IList<GameLocation> gameLocations = Game1.locations;
this.CustomLocationManager.Apply(SaveGame.loaded?.locations, gameLocations);

That field is IList<GameLocation> on Windows but List<GameLocation> on Android. So adding a rewriter to change Game1.location references from IList to List might fix a lot of the still-broken mods, including Content Patcher.
