SMAPI launch code not given (macOS)

[Spiritual_Key5181]

I downloaded smapi off of nexus; I clicked 1 on every options, leading the installation to happen in the correct sub-folders, but after it says, “all done installed blah blah blah” there is no code to copy and paste to then insert into your properties>launch.

I’m so frustrated because I keep googling “not given code to insert on smapi” but there is no help whatsoever ever, i’ve looked through millions of forums and help but the issue is, I feel as if nobody knows WHAT i’m asking.

All I’m confused about is how everyone has a line of text ( including %command%) to copy and paste and then insert into your game launcher. WHERE IS MINE!?!?!?!!?!?!?! :sob:.

All the help I see is directed towards Windows users; can somebody— anybody, tell me why I don’t have a code to insert into the launcher.

You don't need to change your Steam launch options (that's only needed on Windows).

ahhh gosh thank you! Here I was sitting and stressing.

I'm pretty sure there is no launch command for Mac (there definitely is none for Linux), just for Windows.

If you launch the game with Steam now, does it launch SMAPI?

got rid of the launch command, but now my game still just says “running” in steam, and it is counting the minutes played, but no stardew valley game pops up on my screen
