SMAPI Malware blocking in Stardew Valley on macOS

Hola. At this point, I'm at my wit's end because I've tried EVERYTHING just to be able to play a single game on my Mac, but the new update makes it impossible.

So I'm just gonna ask for one game: I've been trying to play Stardew Valley, modded with SMAPI, for a week now. Despite playing the game with mods for almost 2 years, OS is refusing to open the game because SMAPI "contains malware". I tried reinstalling the mod, but no dice. It just automatically deletes the terminal and blocks the game from opening.

You can imagine my frustration because the mod has been 100% safe for 2 years. No option to "Open Anyway" in Security Settings, either. I have no say in this. I've tried code signing it in Terminal (three times). Also no dice. Followed these two forums.

NOTHING. Please tell me there's a way to override this??? Just let me install malware on my computer!😭
