Hello, I'm fairly new to modding Stardew Valley and I'm wondering what everyone uses/would recommend to use. I used ModDrop to get SMAPI and that's what I use to play the game with the mods I have. I've gotten mods off both Nexus and Chucklefish. Nexus also has this thing called Vortex which is their mod manager. I'm wondering if anyone uses it and their opinion on it. Also if anyone has any advise that would be appreciated as well.
Vector's good but not all mods use it. My advice is to go to the Popular (All Time) section and browse around. Just make sure it's up-to-date. For unofficial updates, go to mods.smapi.io for the compatibility list and how to report SMAPI errors.
