So I recently got the game as it has been released on Mac. I tried to download a grass mod, specifically this one http://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/178/? and my game would not open afterwards. Luckily I backed up the maps file. Did I do something wrong? Are certain mods not compatible with macs? Sorry if i seem a little naive but the description said nothing about not working on mac etc. Thanks!
I'm running a bunch of XNB-only mods on the Linux version without issue (See attached images) and the Linux and Mac versions should be effectively identical when it comes to what mods they do and don't support. Give me a couple of minutes to see if the mod you linked works on my copy.
