🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have SMAPI installed, as most Stardew Valley mods require it to run.
Place the mod folder in your Mods directory, then launch the game via SMAPI to see if load times improve.
If you still get freezes, try removing recently added mods to isolate the culprit—FastLoads helps but isn't a cure-all.
