Ye Olde Cookbook V0.1 - final testing 🥳

The Big Finale 🥳 Updated 28.06 as I found a few tiny things that weren't quite right.

🚨 CAUTION - this is the final testing. Any bugs/errors please let me know as this is the state the mod will be shipped - thank you!!🚨

📜 Contents of this mod include: 📜

• 47 Recipes and 5 ingredient recipes
  - also 53 new cooking props!!
  
• Sign Post - which unlocks extra gameplay to be used alongside the cookbook

                - New Ingredients - from hunting/foraging and homemade/village Shoppe
                          - A variety (10)  of animals which can be turned into meat for cooking
                          - Seeds for recipes and homemade flour
                          - Ingredients from the Village Shoppe for cooking and making homemade
                           versions
                          - Animal fat which can be used to make candles (Eco Living Required)

               - The Forest
                           - hunting/foraging
                           - activities/events
               - The Village
                           - farmers market
                           - village Shoppe
                           - Herbalist Shoppe
                           - activities/events

                       - The Docks
                                 - fisherman's market

• Optional Custom Oven - this is not required to experience the mod
  - I recommend using the custom cooking animation with this oven (note - the recipes will then work best for this oven and some cooking process animations may look wacky with EA ovens. This will NOT effect ea recipes or grannies cookbook recipes.)

📝Helpful when Reporting Errors 📝

These are things that are considered to be very helpful to me when reporting problems:

• What packs you have installed - this can help to narrow down a problem if something is showing incorrectly or not working as expected.
• Specific details if something isn't working - such as a recipe stopping after a certain stage or a buff showing incorrectly after using the sign post.
• Any other mods you have installed at the time of the error - it would be extra helpful if you could replicate the error with only this mod installed as this can help determine if it is something more than a mod conflict and is in fact something wrong with this mod.
• If you could provide a picture, that would be great!

📝 Feedback Appreciated 📝

• Any smaller details I may have overlooked (for example a vegetarian meal but your sim starts chopping meat, a prop used is incorrect or getting sick from a vegetarian meal etc)
• Any mistakes with the strings/text in game
• Any of your suggestions/ideas to improve the mod (very much appreciated)

✨ Downloading the mod✨

I have packaged the file using WinRAR to try and make the process a little easier. Once you have extracted the file (simply right click, extract here) a folder should appear. Inside that folder everything should be organised so it's easier to understand.

There will be 5 sub folders:

• The Cookbook - this is the main download
• Required animation - only choose 1. EA or Custom oven ( which has a poke fire animation that fits well with the custom oven I made)
• Grand meals - only choose 1 of these, Base Game or Seasons

Optional files

• Custom Ovens - optional
• The Sign Post - optional if you want some extra gameplay such as the hunting.

Feel free to send me any questions or if you need help with something. 

Ps. Make sure you don't have the 'old' version of this cookbook in your mods folder when playing with this one!

Hope you have fun! And thank you so very much for testing and all of the feedback! 😄

What's new to stage 2?

• Changed the plate textures to lighter brown as that was the more popular vote from the poll!
• Added prices to the recipes. These were worked out by adding the ingredients and their respective prices together. Generic fruit/veg = §5 generic fish = §15 
• Updated descriptions on objects and ingredients
• Recipes no longer require all ingredients

What's new to stage 3?

• Added new recipes 🥳
• Updated the oven pie menus to cook food from the cookbook
• Massive string organisation for future translations 😴 (not very fun)
• Should now display in English for all language strings ( there shouldn't be any blanks - let me know if i've missed something!)
• Slight changes to some previous recipes. 

What's new to final testing?

• Added new recipes including a few drinks recipes 🥳
• Added the sign post to the outdoor activities catalogue section
• Added a 'visit village physician' to remove the bear attack buff
• Added 'The Docks' where you can visit the fisherman's market
• Smoothing out some of the bumps

As you may have seen, the sims team has decided to add foraging (something I never thought they would add 😅 ) But i'm so happy this will be a feature! Don't worry, I'm hoping to combine the foraging/hunting from this mod along with the sims version depending on how they have implemented it, it may still be worth having the sign post - especially if it's limited only to the new world.
