Now, on your computer, open FileZilla and enter the IP address from your Vita into the Host field and the port number (usually 1337) into the Port field, leaving the username and password blank. Click "Quickconnect," and you'll see your Vita's file system appear. Navigate to the ux0: directory and drag and drop your .vpk file into this folder.

You should now see the Stardew Valley bubble on your LiveArea. Performance and Limitations

Always backup your save data before installing a new VPK or modifying internal files, as the Vita version is prone to crashes if files are improperly modified.
