Content Patcher

Content Patcher loads content packs that change the game's data, images, and maps without replacing XNB files. Content packs can make changes dynamically based on many in-game details like location, weather, date, festivals or events, spouse, relationships, whether you have a Joja membership, etc.

Unlike XNB mods, these content packs get automatic update checks and compatibility checks, are easy to install and uninstall, support localisation automatically, are less likely to conflict, and are less likely to break due to game updates.

This mod doesn't do anything on its own; you need to install content packs separately.

- Install the latest version of SMAPI.

- Install this mod through the CurseForge client (or unzip it into Stardew Valley/Mods).

- Install any content packs you want the same way.

- Run the game using SMAPI.

Note: Content Patcher packs on other sites can be unzipped into your game's Mods folder.

Content packs let you edit the game's XNB images, data, and maps with zero programming. You can optionally use features like conditions, tokens, and player settings. See the mod author documentation for more info and a guide to creating content packs.

The Content Patcher API lets SMAPI modders create custom tokens for content packs to use. See the extensibility guide for more info.

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes Content Patcher by pathoschild. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on CurseForge on 25 October 2026: https://www.curseforge.com/stardewvalley/mods/content-patcher

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on edge.forgecdn.net, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

SMAPI

This is a SMAPI mod, not a loose content file. SMAPI — the Stardew Modding API, from smapi.io — must be installed first, and the game started through it. Without it the folder sits in Mods and nothing loads.

DEPENDENCIES

Many mods require a framework mod as well — Content Patcher above all, sometimes SpaceCore or Json Assets. SMAPI prints the exact missing name at launch; a red error naming a dependency is the usual reason a freshly installed mod does nothing.

1. Download the archive with the button on this page and unzip it.

2. Move the mod's folder into your Mods directory:

Windows — %AppData%\StardewValley\Mods

macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/StardewValley/Contents/MacOS/Mods

Linux — ~/.config/StardewValley/Mods

3. Start the game through SMAPI, not the normal launcher. SMAPI lists every mod it loaded at startup — check yours is there and did not print an error.

UPDATING

Delete the old folder before unzipping the new one. Two copies of a mod is the classic cause of duplicate items and crashes, and unzipping over the top keeps stale files the new version no longer expects.
