Common Bugs

This page lists some common bugs that users may encounter when using RSV. The dev team will fix every bug that we can, but some things can only be dealt with manually. Before trying the following steps, please first make sure you are using the latest version of the mod, then check to see if the error still occurs.

## Item Shuffle

The mod that RSV uses to create its custom items, called Json Assets, uses randomly assigned IDs to identify objects. This means that if any new items are added, either by RSV or a different mod using JA, you may experience shuffle with any items you had in your inventory or storage before updating. For example, you may have had a Foxbloom in your inventory, only to now find it replaced with Aged Sierra Wintergreen Roe. To fix this issue, we recommend trashing any bugged items and replacing them with a mod like CJB Item Spawner.

This can also happen in multiplayer games when different players have different Json Assets mods, and their items are therefore assigned different numerical IDs. In this instance, the problem will persist beyond updates and also apply to newly spawned items such as forage. To fix this, all players should make sure they have the exact same mods with the exact same configurations - It is recommended that the host player makes a zip file of their Mods folder for all farmhands to use.

If JSON Shuffle affects equipped clothing, boots, or ring items such that you cannot take them off, please unequip everything you can and then enter the command `remove\_equipment` into the SMAPI console. (This will **delete** all equipped items, so be sure to put what you can into your inventory before running it.) You can then get the original item back by using a mod such as CJB Item Spawner.

## Accessing Shops with a Controller

STF, the framework mod RSV uses to create its shops, sometimes has issues with controllers opening its shops. Since RSV is not responsible for STF, we have no way of fixing these issues. The best way to get around the problem is to alternate pressing the "use" and "check" buttons on your controller, or by simply using your mouse to interact with the shop instead.

## Spirit Realm Pedestal Issues

Update: the below has been corrected in a hot fix as of 9/20/22. If you are playing with the mod prior to that date, please download and install it again.

If a pedestal is missing, you can fix it by removing any relics you've already placed, changing windows to the SMAPI console, and typing `RSV\_reset\_pedestals`.

Sometimes, even though the relics have been correctly placed, the event fails to trigger. First, check that you've placed the relics correctly by seeing if you can remove them from the pedestals. If you can still remove a relic, that means it isn't in the correct position. You can find a picture showing the correct positions here under the "Pedestal Placement" section.

If none of the relics can be removed, you've encountered the error mentioned above. You can either enter the command `RSV\_reset\_pedestals` into the SMAPI console and then use a cheat mod like CJB Item Spawner to get the relics again and put them back on the pedestals again, or you can use the command `debug ebi 75160256` to trigger it manually (but please note that you shouldn't skip the event if triggering it this way).

## Ridge Forest Monsters

RSV's monsters are created using Farm Type Manager, which spawns monsters on a time interval basis. Thus, **if you have time paused**, monsters will **not** spawn in The Ridge Forest, and you will encounter less monsters than you should in the corrupted version of the Spirit Realm.

If monsters are still not spawning even when time is not paused, we recommend deleting and reinstalling RSV to reset the FTM component of the mod.

## Repeating Mail

If you have FeTK installed, custom mail with gifts attached will appear repeatedly, no matter how many times you read them. FeTK is outdated and has been replaced with MFM - Please delete FeTK and install MFM instead.

## Issues with Other Mods

Ridgeside Village currently has no incompatibilities with any other mods, meaning that the game can be safely played without breaking. However, there are some mods whose functionality overwrite part of RSV's and make some aspects of gameplay a bit complicated. This section describes how to fix these issues.

1. Teh's Fishing Overhaul
	* TFO modifies the way the game's fishing mechanic works, which has the unintended affect of preventing some of RSV's fishing aspects from working. This means that the Legendary Fish and the Sapphire Pearl cannot be caught. To fix this, make sure you have TFO's **Ridgeside Village Compatibility** patch installed, which is listed under the Optional Files section of the mod.

2. Better Fruit Trees
	* This mod makes it so that fruit trees can only be planted on the base game farms and in greenhouses by default, meaning that users will not be able to plant fruit trees on the Summit Farm. You can disable this by changing the config setting "Allow\_Placing\_Fruit\_Trees\_Outside\_Farm" to true, which will make it so that you can plant fruit trees anywhere in game. However, we recommend using the mod Fruit Tree Tweaks instead, as it has much more functionality and does not interfere with the Summit Farm like BFT does.
3. Tilesheet recolors
	* World recolor mods like this one will successfully modify 99% of RSV's content. However, most of these mods don't have support for RSV's world map, so the small square showing Ridgeside Village on the map, and the Ridgeside Village map itself, will not be recolored.
	* Additionally, RSV uses copies of vanilla item sheets for its decor. So a mod that changes the appearance of craftable items, such as this one, will not change the appearance of Pika's bee houses in the village.

	Both of these issues are things out of our hands. If you'd like to see recolor compatibility for RSV, please ask the creator of that mod to add it.
