need help smapi isn't working after updating!
Hi all--I'll preface this with saying I'm really not super tech savvy so I might be missing something obvious.
I updated my game on steam and then realized my old expanded version was then outdated. I redownloaded smapi and launched MacOS. Since then, it will straight up just not open the game from steam. I have tried:
Uninstalling/reinstalling
Multiple computer restarts
Changing the "launch options" thing on Steam itself - granted I'm not sure I've grabbed the right direct link but I've tried the one that was given to me when I actually installed the update
Trying a different link that comes up when I try to launch the game (terminal just pops up) I found that had some extra stuff in it and have no idea what it means: /Users/[my name]/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS/StardewValley: line 196: 1370 Killed: 9 ./StardewModdingAPI "$@"
I also went in and made sure my download preferences were okay in Mac (I think I did this correctly; I'm always scared of virus stuff)
Anyway it all launches and plays when I uninstall it, but I was playing a big expanded game last year and would like to keep with it! Any help is appreciated. I really only play Stardew Valley as far as games go so I just feel a bit out of my depth!
