The team at Nexus Mods have released a new version of their open source and cross-platform Nexus Mods app, with Stardew Valley modding now considered close to being ready for everyone.
Non technical people can find it difficult. Not that I endorse Nexus mods manager - it’s been purpose built enshitified but having more accessible modding is great for everybody
Even as a technical user it’s just nice to have a descent mod manager.
I can download and extract the mod but checking them all to see if they have updates or what dependencies they have is a pain.
Then later when I want to change mods what does modClothingTex do? Is it required for a mod I like or is it something I tested and didn’t like. A manager can make that so much better.
Just extract the required mods to the Mods folder?
