    The from file isn't just ladder.png, it's the [season]_ladder.png
    The game will load the 'ladder.png' just fine via the tbin files, it just won't apply the seasonal ones.

    Also, these are maps in the maps folder already, nothing is referencing the content folder

      @Allayna, my advice was a paraphrase of what Pathoschild instructed a few posts ago, here and on the Content Patcher update topic.

      I originally understood it as what you were doing before, but I suggested perhaps trying the other way just in case what he meant was just to load it without the seasonal info at all. >.<

        and I did that... the tilesheet was just 'ladder.png'. That's what it has always been. Then i'm trying to make seasonal changes to that tilesheet via loads in the content file, Like Pathoschild advised.

        I've also tried like this as I have on another cp mod
        {
        "Action": "Load",
        "Target": "maps/ladder.png",
        "FromFile": "assets/{{season}}/recolor.png",
        "When": {
        "Recolor": "true"
        }
        {
        "Action": "Load",
        "Target": "maps/ladder.png",
        "FromFile": "assets/{{season}}/original.png",
        "When": {
        "Recolor": "false"
        }
        and this
        {
        "Action": "Load",
        "Target": "maps/ladder.png",
        "FromFile": "assets/fall/recolor.png",
        "When": {
        "Recolor": "true",
        "Season": "fall"
        }
        {
        "Action": "Load",
        "Target": "maps/ladder.png",
        "FromFile": "assets/fall/original.png",
        "When": {
        "Recolor": "false",
        "Season": "fall"
        }

        If this is not what he and you meant, then can you give an example?

          @Allayna Content Patcher doesn't quite fully support maps yet. That's partly fixed in SMAPI 2.6-beta.8, but there's one change needed in the game itself.

          I converted another XNB map mod to figure this out for you. The temporary workaround for maps is:
          1. Load the map as an XNB file from your mod folder, which will prevent Content Patcher from trying to handle the tilesheets.
          2. Inject the tilesheets into the Content/Maps folder with a seasonal prefix, which the game will handle automatically:
            Code:
            {
               "Action": "Load",
               "Target": "maps/spring_ladder",
               "FromFile": "assets/spring_ladder.png"
            },
            {
               "Action": "Load",
               "Target": "maps/summer_ladder",
               "FromFile": "assets/summer_ladder.png"
            },
            {
               "Action": "Load",
               "Target": "maps/fall_ladder",
               "FromFile": "assets/fall_ladder.png"
            },
            {
               "Action": "Load",
               "Target": "maps/winter_ladder",
               "FromFile": "assets/winter_ladder.png"
            },
            

          This workaround is only needed temporarily. Once the beta settles down, I'll request the game change that will let Content Patcher handle tilesheets automatically (so you'd only need to load the map).

            Here's White Water Farm, a river farm map replacement by Meevers. This includes all variants; see the README.txt for help changing which one is applied. I'll let the author know about the conversion in case they want to release it (or want me to remove it).

            Update: unofficial.2 adds support for Elle's recolor, thanks to Apexii!

              Here's a content Pack version of the Hill-Top Forest map for @cedarlings! Unfortunately, the initial boulder/stump spawns are kind of wonk so you won't be able to all the way south from your farmhouse and over the hill until you upgrade your pickaxe and axe, but it should work fine otherwise.

                    Just a heads up, and it could be a conflict with something else, but when I tried to load into my multiplayer farm today I just got a black window and unresponsive game with this mod. Stinks, because I really love this interface.

                    If anyone can fix it, I'd appreciate it but I don't have the brain power today to figure out what might have gone wrong.

                      @mominthevalley Can you upload your SMAPI log after it happens and post the link here? That content pack just replaces some textures, so it definitely shouldn't do anything like that. I suspect something else might be causing it.

                        I'm not sure if this is the right place to request this or not (*new*) but can someone convert this Wallpaper and Flooring mod to a Content Patcher pack?

                          Everyone is doing such amazing work with updating everything so fast!

                          If it's not too much trouble for someone, I have two requests on things I'd love to be converted to CP:
                          I haven't seen anyone update these yet, and I'd be so grateful if anyone could give it a shot!

                              I actually did a personal conversion of the ghibli scarecrows so. I can upload that once I mess around with it a little.

                                Also with the farmhouses, were you just looking for the Farmhouses themselves or also the Wallpapers+Furniture?

                                @mrWAWA Here's Hojichas' Wallpaper and Flooring.

                                Both of you let me know if you have any problems but they were working from my tests

                                  Dw it was a personal conversion, not one I was ready to release lol.

                                  Editing this post because otherwise it'd be a double~

                                  I got bored and saw the old bundle overhaul that I used to use, and figured why the heck not just convert it to CP so I don't have to fiddle with game files? Yeah? Yeah. Okay. Here. Lemme know if there's issues, I only quickly tested it in my game.

                                  After MANY HEADACHES, here;

                                  Content Patcher version of Community Center Bundle Overhauls; Original

                                  Note:: If you're using an interface mod, things will go wonky. I don't know how to fix this. You can just disable the junimo edit if you wish, but things will still look weird. The actual bundles will look fine, buuuuut yeah. Idk. Here's what it'll do:

                                    would anyone be able to convert furniture from this mod? Unfortunately, I suck at modding and I would be grateful if anyone managed to do what I failed to do. :unsure:

                                      Here you go. The fancy couch version is enabled by default, but you can edit the content.json to enable the dark or pastel versions if you like.


                                      While I'm here, here's a couple more mods I've migrated:

                                      Zhuria's Better Pigs
                                      Zhuria's Epona Horse Recolour
                                      CaveSalamander's Female Duck
                                      Dawn's Shiba Inu and Missile Dog Replacements

                                      And finally, a silo texture that I've been using for a while, but can't seem to hunt down the OP of. If anyone recognizes it, I'd be very grateful.
