FAQ and troubleshooting

How do I start the mod?

The mod starts by going to the Adventurer's Guild in the second year. The complete set of requirements are:

• Year 2 or later.
• Not a festival day.
• Is spring or summer.
• In multiplayer you must be the host.

I still can't trigger the first event in Adventurer's Guild !

• Please check that your Content Patcher and SMAPI versions are up to date.
• Also check that both the content pack and main mod are installed properly and are the same version.

If you're still having issues feel free to start a post in NexusMods or the Discord, share your log and I'll do what I can to help.

How do I get elected?

Votes are counted based on popularity. If you have a lot of hearts with many villagers you will probably do alright in the election. It also helps to talk to the villagers about your plans for mayor, give out leaflets and debate with Lewis. If you call Marlon on the phone he will give you a breakdown of your polling data. Details can be found here

How do I get the gold statue?

Melt down Lewis' one with the furnace and wait a day.

How does multiplayer work?

If it's a multiplayer game then only the host can become mayor. Also most of the events are only seen by the host. This may change in the future. Farmhands can vote however.

Does this work on mobile?

While I don't test heavily on the mobile version it should work ok.

Will the cheat menu affect the mod?

Sort of. You can make yourself popular to win the election and that should be ok. The main issues seems to come from skipping days with the cheat menu. The mod assumes the day start and day end events happen so skipping past them can break things.

If I said no to running for mayor can I still try again?

Yes you can. Marlon will ask you again in a follow-up event the next year at the Adventure Guild.

How do I check if I'm going to win?

Use any telephone and call "Polling Data". This will give a full report.

I'm doing "The Mysterious Qi" quest and I don't know where Lewis' fridge is?

If you're the mayor then its in the basement of the Town Hall and is now a mini-fridge. It uses the same action code as the original so it should act the same.

The Mayor's desk says a meeting is already planned

Only one council meeting can be planned at a time. The default is every Thursday but can be changed with GMCM

How do I resign / reset the mod?

There are two ways:

1. Interact with the old photos on the wall in the Town Hall basement and confirm. The mod resets after sleep.

2. Using the SMAPI console run this

MayorModReset

When is the next release?

You can check out the github releases page. This contains full and pre-releases. These are releases which are versioned properly and fine to use but not tested as much. Any build that goes to NexusMods will go through a more thorough test run.

Something else is broken

1. Check the SMAPI console for errors.
2. Upload your log at smapi.io/log.
3. Open an issue on GitHub or NexusMods bug page and ill do my best to try and help you out.
