Choose the section that matches what you need to do:

### Installing Collections

**New to mod collections?** Start with these basics. They match the steps on each [Nexus collection page](https://www.nexusmods.com/games/stardewvalley/collections/tckf0m). For verifying game files, SMAPI setup, optional mods, and store launcher configuration, see the full guide linked below.

1. **Install** [**Vortex**](https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/1) (required)
2. **Manage Stardew Valley:** In Vortex, go to **Games** and click **Manage** on Stardew Valley. If you already use Vortex for Stardew, click **Purge** on the Mods panel first.
3. **Open your Mods folder:** On the **Mods** panel, click **Open** and select **Game Mods folder** (the third option).
4. **Clear leftover files:** Remove any unmanaged files or folders from that Mods folder.
5. **Add the collection:** On the collection's Nexus page, click **Add Collection**, then follow the Vortex prompts.

   **New profile (start here)**

   * [Stardew Valley VERY Expanded](https://www.nexusmods.com/games/stardewvalley/collections/tckf0m): Create a **new profile**. This is the default.

   **Add to your SVVE profile**

   * [Oops! All Portraits: Nyapu](https://www.nexusmods.com/games/stardewvalley/collections/falitk)
   * [Aesthetic Valley Fairycore](https://next.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/collections/tjvl0j) **or** [Aesthetic Valley Witchcore](https://next.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/collections/g14kxi): Pick **one**. They are mutually exclusive as of May 2026. You can also choose **Create new profile** from the first pop-up.

   **Add to any working profile**

   * [Controller Support](https://www.nexusmods.com/games/stardewvalley/collections/crx9cn)
   * [Aesthetic Valley Fairycore Extra Textures](https://www.nexusmods.com/games/stardewvalley/collections/i8ulwo/)
   * [Aesthetic Valley Witchcore Extra Textures](https://www.nexusmods.com/games/stardewvalley/collections/ufo0fl/)

**Installation paths:**

* **Nexus Premium:** One-click installation through Vortex
* **Free users:** Guided installation through Vortex (manual download prompts per mod)

### Troubleshooting

**Experiencing problems?** Start here for quick fixes and links to detailed troubleshooting guides. Most issues can be resolved quickly.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Playing with mods in multiplayer?** It is strongly recommended that all players have matching mod loadouts: the same collections, mods, versions, and configurations. Mismatched setups can cause crashes, desyncs, or connection failures. See [Multiplayer Support](/svve/about/index.md#multiplayer-support) for best practices.
