     play with mods.
 
 When installing on Linux or macOS:
-- Make sure Mono is installed (normally the installer checks for you). While it's not required,
-  many mods won't work correctly without it. (Specifically, mods which load PNG images may crash or
-  freeze the game.)
 - To configure the color scheme, edit the `smapi-internal/config.json` file and see instructions
   there for the 'ColorScheme' setting.
