How to download Unlimited Player Mod on Stardew Valley

Sep 13, 2024

As a seasoned farmer in Stardew Valley who’s spent countless hours tending to my crops and livestock, I can’t help but feel excited about the Unlimited Player Mod! It’s no secret that farming is always better with friends, and now we can finally invite as many as we want!

As a gaming enthusiast, diving headfirst into Stardew Valley’s charming world, I often find myself wishing for more friends to join me in my farming adventure. Typically, the multiplayer mode limits the number of farmers on a server to just four. But fear not! The Unlimited Player Mod comes to the rescue, lifting this restriction so you can play with an unlimited number of pals. Here’s a simple guide to downloading and installing this fantastic mod:

How to install the Stardew Valley Unlimited Player Mod

To set up the Unlimited Player Mod for Stardew Valley, ensure that you’ve already got SMAPI (Stardew Modding API) installed and functioning properly. SMAPI serves as the central platform for all your Stardew Valley mods, enabling them to operate within the game. Here’s a simple guide on how to install it:

  1. Run Stardew Valley at least once without SMAPI installed.
  2. Download the latest version of SMAPI.
  3. Extract the zip folder into a location of your choice.
  4. Open the folder, click on “Install on Windows/Linux/Mac” and follow the instructions.

After installing SMAPI, navigate to Nexus Mods and grab the Unlimited Player Mod. Once downloaded, extract the folder into your Stardew Valley Mods directory and open the configuration file it provides. Inside this file, you can adjust the number of players allowed in your game.

For the mod to function effectively across all players, only the server administrator needs to activate it. By eliminating limits on cabins, players, and networks, you’ll gain access to diverse data about players as you engage in this mode.

To make sure Stardew Valley mods work correctly, you should launch the game from the SMAPI folder. However, you have the option to customize it for your preferred platform so you can still earn achievements and track playtime. If that’s not a concern for you, feel free to start the game directly from SMAPI and have fun!

Otherwise, have a look below at how to configure the app on Steam and the Xbox App.

How to configure SMAPI on Steam

  1. Keep the SMAPI installer window open.
  2. Copy the text below the “SMAPI is installed” line in the installer window. It should look something like “D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe” %command%
  3. In Steam, right-click on Stardew and select Properties.
  4. Navigate to General and click on the Launch Options bar.
  5. Paste the text in this bar.

How to configure SMAPI on the Xbox App

As an enthusiastic gamer, I’d advise you to ensure that you download the SMAPI installer into a separate folder, away from your Xbox Game Directory, before setting it up with your application. This simple step can help prevent potential conflicts and ensure a smoother gaming experience!

  1. Click on Stardew Valley in the Xbox App.
  2. Click the three dots on the bottom right of the game art and click on Manage.
  3. Find the Files tab and click on Browse.
  4. Open the Stardew Valley Content folder.
  5. Copy the entire path at the top of the folder. It should look something like D:\Games\Stardew Valley\Content, depending on where you have it installed.
  6. Open and run the SMAPI installer.
  7. When it asks where to install, paste the path you copied above.

After setting up SMAPI, rename the StardewValley.exe file in your game directory to something like “Stardew Valley (new)”. Next, duplicate the StardewModdingAPI.exe file and name the copy “StardewValley.exe”.

Once your setup is ready for your mods to function, don’t forget to explore guides like ‘Updating Stardew Valley Mods’ and locate the ‘Bookseller’ on GamerTop.
