-# SMAPI
-A Modding API For Stardew Valley
-See: https://github.com/Zoryn4163/SMAPI-Mods
-
## NOTICE: THIS PROJECT IS STILL IN ALPHA
+# What is SMAPI
+
+SMAPI (Stardew Mapping Application Programming Interface) is a tool to help modders make changes to Stardew. It is a standalone executable which goes alongside your Stardew.exe.
+
+# Latest Version: 0.37.1
+- Minor update to avoid confusion by me forgetting to update the version information. Altered how version info is stored.
+- Logging is now in it's own contained class and no longer part of the main program. Deprecated functions still exist to keep a bit of backwards compatibility but will eventually be removed.
+- For Modders: Logging has changed, other than that nothing you need to worry about from 0.37.0
+Tested and works with current versions of: SmartMod, StardewCJB , FreezeInside
+
+Download: https://github.com/ClxS/SMAPI/releases/tag/0.37.1
+
+# Installation
+
+To install SMAPI:
+- Firstly, make sure you have .NET 4.5. You can get it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=30653
+- Download the the latest release binary here: https://github.com/ClxS/SMAPI/releases/latest
+- Extract the zip file alongside your Stardew.exe, for example, if using Steam this would be somewhere like C:/ProgramFiles/Steam/steamapps/common/StardewValley
+- To launch SMAPI, launch StardewValleyModdingAPI.exe
+
+To install mods:
+- To install mods just download the mod's .DLL file, and place it in %appdata%\StardewValley\Mods\. SMAPI will take care of the rest!
+
+# Future Plans
+- Content only mods
+- Support for a wide range of events
+- Enable the addition of new custom content such as locations, NPCs, and items.
+
