Download Unlimited Player Mod for Stardew Valley: A Step-by-Step Guide

Stardew Valley’s multiplayer mode typically allows four farmers to join a server, but with the Unlimited Player Mod, you can enjoy gameplay with unlimited friends. This guide will show you how to download and install the mod.

How to Install the Stardew Valley Unlimited Player Mod

To get started with the Unlimited Player Mod for Stardew Valley, first ensure that SMAPI is installed and functioning. Follow these steps:

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

After installing SMAPI, visit Nexus Mods to download the Unlimited Player Mod. Once downloaded, unzip the folder into your Stardew Valley Mods directory and open the provided config file, where you can set the player limit for your game.

Only the server owner needs to have the mod activated for all players to benefit from it. This mod allows you to remove cabin limits, player limits, and player network limits, plus obtain various player information.

It’s important to launch Stardew Valley from the SMAPI folder for the mods to work, but you can configure it for your preferred platform to still earn achievements and track playtime. If that’s not an issue, simply launch the game via SMAPI for a seamless experience!

How to Configure SMAPI on Steam

Keep the SMAPI installer window open.
Copy the text below the “SMAPI is installed”line in the installer window. It should resemble “D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe”%command%.
In Steam, right-click Stardew Valley and select Properties.
Go to the General tab and click on the Launch Options bar.
Paste the copied text into this field.

How to Configure SMAPI on the Xbox App

Before setting up SMAPI with the Xbox App, ensure the installer is downloaded to a different folder from the game directory.

Select Stardew Valley in the Xbox App.
Click the three dots at the bottom right of the game art and select Manage.
Navigate to the Files tab and click on Browse.
Open the Stardew Valley Content folder.
Copy the entire path displayed at the top of the folder. It should look something like D:\Games\Stardew Valley\Content.
Launch the SMAPI installer.
When prompted for the install location, paste the path you copied earlier.

Once SMAPI is installed, rename the StardewValley.exe file in your game folder to something like Stardew Valley new. Then, make a copy of the StardewModdingAPI.exe and rename the copy to StardewValley.exe.
