How to download Unlimited Game Mod on Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley’s multiplayer mode usually only lets four farmers join a server, but the Unlimited Player Module completely removes this limitation and lets you play with as many friends as you want. Here’s how to download and install the mod.

How to install the Stardew Valley Unlimited Game Mod

To install the Unlimited Game Mod for Stardew Valley, you must first have SNAP installed and running. This is basically the hub for all your Stardew Mods and what makes them work in the game. Follow these steps to install it:

1. Run Stardew Valley at least once without SMAPI installed.
2. Download the latest version of SMAPI.
3. Extract the zip folder in a place of your choice.
4. Open the folder, click “Install on Windows/Linux/Mac” and follow the instructions.

Once SMAPI is installed, go to Nexus Mods and download the Unlimited Player Mod. Once it’s downloaded, open the folder in your Stardew Valley Mods folder and open the transferred configuration file. Here you can set the limit on how many players can join your game.

Only the server owner needs to have the mod active for it to work for all players. You can remove the cabin limit, players limit, players network limit and get various different information about players while using the mode.

Stardew Valley must be launched from the SMAPI directory for mods to apply, but you can set it to the platform you’re using so you can still get achievements and playtime. If that doesn’t bother you, then you can just launch from SMAPI and enjoy your game!

Otherwise, see below how to set up the app on Steam and the Xbox App.
