Or do I need to uninstall the Beta to play the original version via SMAPI? For the sake of my old file if I have to I will, at least long enough to change her hairstyle as without the mod she looks like a boy lol. (yeah it matters to me). Is it possible or do I uninstall, make the changes needed and then reinstall? (btw I'm no techy minded so treat me dummy ) Thanks
modded saves are unlikely to support vanilla 1.1 at all, you will have to wait until FarmHand (Or SMAPI if that turns out to be a quick fix) is ready for 1.1, but that is unlikely to happen until 1.1 is out of beta. So just use a new save, and keep your modded save waiting for once the modding gets there.
A 1.1 beta compatible version of SMAPI got released recently, so that may help you with your issue: http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/stardew-modding-api-0-40-0.108375/page-33#post-3032547 Whether your mods will still work with the beta depends on the mods themselves, but I figured I'd let you know so you could give it a shot!
