Unable to open SMM; mods not loading
Had an issue with my game and SMM not being able to open (or run). I’ve found out how to fix the game itself so now it is able to run, but none of my mods are loaded or loading. Whenever I try to open SMM I get this message (attached)(excuse poor quality. My screenshot key has been throwing a tantrum) and it will not open. I am playing on a private single player world. Any help is welcome, thanks!

failed to unmarshal profiles: invalid character "\x00" looking for beginning of value.
Something has caused your profile file to become corrupted. Please send the files you have in your Mod Manager profiles folder here so we can try to find out what went wrong. It may be possible to recover your profiles, but if not, you will have to delete them.
You can try to find out what mods the profile used to have in a few ways:
- Your save file keeps track of the mods you were using. Loading it while missing mods will produce a warning message and messages in the game's log files.
- Mod manager log files may mention the names of mods you were downloading

failedtoinitializeprofiles triggered by @jessIs that not included in what I just sent?
No, those are just logs. The profiles file (in
%appdata%\ficsit) is the corrupted filethis one? the folders in my appdata/ficsit do not seem to include anything titled 'logs', just some registries and a download cache
That's
AppData\Local, which is %localappdata%, you need to go to AppData\Roaming, which is %appdata%ah okay. here's whats in that. thanks for your patience I have no idea what i'm doing with this lol
Solution
Yeah, that profiles file is corrupted, you'll have to delete it
