Written from this official or primary source; follow it if anything differs.
- Install SMAPI first; the official wiki explains that it launches the game with mod support and installs alongside the normal game, so it can be removed later.
- Find the mods you want (the wiki's guide lists where to look).
- Locate your game folder; the wiki covers each platform.
- Unzip each mod into the Mods folder inside the game folder.
- Launch through SMAPI. The wiki also covers configuring, updating and removing mods.
