Content Update

Added 2024-07-28 22:08:07 +0000 UTC

The patch didn't effect my mods but over the last couple of months I've made a lot of changes to how things work and there are quite a few files you'll need to delete before installing the new versions. This is a large update and there are quite a few bug fixes included as well :)

DO NOT try to overwrite the old files - I've changed some filenames so this will cause you to have duplicate files or it can cause issues if the file doesn't overwrite properly.

Core Mods:

I've included some new scripts that allow me to alter in-game stuff to work with my mods. This means they shouldn't conflict with other creators mods and you no longer need to use override files, making some of my mods obsolete. You'll want to delete the following mods/modules completely from your downloads folder:

Files to Delete:
Core Modules where their name ends with:
Ingredients / Various / Nectar / Canning / Food
Mods | Fixes:
Store your Wedding Bouquets / Store your Seed Jars / Fish & Herbs in Retail Fridge

I've also added some new interactions to the Brazen Homestead Craftbooks and all pots, planters, and garden soil that will add Reference Info to your sim's notebook. This is to help you navigate some of my content and reduce the need to constantly visit my site for details on a specific mod. These entries will be updated as needed.

There is a new, optional file included with the Core Harvestable file called 'OptionalOverrides'. This contains overrides of all the gardening interactions like 'Weed' or 'Water' so that your sim can tend to a plant that is 'Out of Season'. Since my harvestables will grow out of season, it's highly recommended you install this file. I will look at finding a way to do this without an override in the future.

Lastly, I've moved the inventory transfer interactions, 'Grab' and 'Put Away' to the Core Crafting mod since it makes more sense if you're using a lot of my crafting ingredients. People who only need the Core Mod installed for recipes or another mod will no longer see these interactions on their fridge and storages.

Harvestables:

Harvestables have had an overhaul to update them and make them work with a few upcoming mods. You'll need to delete ALL the old files and install the new ones, as I said previously, DO NOT try to overwrite them.

This update may cause some plants to disappear or no longer function so you'll need to replant them. If you're concerned about losing your progress, you can shift-click the new plants to cheat them back to their original condition. I know this is a pain but there were some changes I needed to make to streamline my workflow (and allow me to make content faster!) so it had to be done.

Harvestable descriptions now include a small blurb called 'Garden Lot Traits'. This is only relevant to the new lot challenges coming next week so you can ignore that for now.

Additional Notes:

I did my best to test as much as I could, but with an update this extensive it's possible I missed something. Please let me know on Discord if you run into any bugs!
I realized today that it may be difficult to tell which EA ingredients and harvestable plants have been adjusted so I'll be adding some text or notebook entries over the next couple of weeks in an effort to make it more clear.
The information on the site will need to be updated to match everything in this update - please be patient with me while I work on that over the next week or so
