🎯 Tips & Tricks
Install SMAPI first – FTM is a framework that runs on it, and most dependent mods will need it too
Check the mod's Nexus page for a list of compatible mods – that's where you'll find what FTM actually enables
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, let it handle the install to avoid file placement errors

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Massive community trust – 205k endorsements and 10.8M downloads prove it's a staple
- Framework design means it's the backbone for tons of other mods, so installing it opens up a whole ecosystem
- Actively updated (Nov 2025) – you're not betting on abandoned code
👎 Cons
- Does nothing on its own – you need other mods that depend on it to see any effect
- No install instructions or usage details in the description – you'll have to rely on the mod page or other sources
- Requires SMAPI to run, which is an extra step for new modders
