omg, kidteen has saved my life! after I told her that I was missing the external harddrive, she immediately went looking for it and found it!! I have my things back!
I also re-started modding for Stardew Valley, but I cannot log into Nexusmods because of the stupid Cloudflare thingy on my Win10 computer. It works on Win11, with the same addons mind you, but my Win10 pc just gets an error. I tried all I could except another browser (might try Brave though).
So I can neither update all the mods I worked on, nor comment to people that I am currently working on the updates, nor download the updates for the mods I already have. -.- Which is not too bad because my Stardew Valley is still 1.6.8 (as I didn't get it via Steam I cannot update it, because the only way to update it is via Steam, which I can't have on my Win10 computer due to lack of- basically everything. Don't laugh. It's a mini-pc and I'm glad that it's capable to run Stardew 🙈).
So the current SMAPI tells me it doesn't work because the lowest it will work with is 1.6.14 and I can't get the new Content Patcher - or any other mod.
Good thing I mostly used my own, except for the Better Shipping Bin and the NPC on Map ones.
I might look for an alternative to upload my mods, because why not. Maybe make a wordpress for it. Which won't help with the update issue, but at least I could have a place where people can download my mods besides the Nexus.
I cannot express how i hate all those "are you a bot" mechanisms. It disrupts my experience so much. There's so many times software has told me that I had clicked too fast to be human. -.-
