Patch Update

I did a quick check of my mods and it looks like most of them are fine with the patch but if you run into any issues please let me know. I'll do a more thorough check and update the Brazen Homestead Manual for the new patch in the next couple of days. 

WIP Updates

All the food and recipes are done and work in-game. I need to make a few more tweaks like adjusting the height of the cups a little and do some clean-up with the text for some stuff. I'm also trying to wrap up the buffs and stuff for the king cake. They're a little complicated but if I can get them to work right it will be some nice additional gameplay for your sims.

I really wanted the sim to fry up some shrimp for the po-boys so I went back and updated the shrimp and crab downloads. Y...

WIP - Sandwich Rolls

I used EA's texture but I'm not 100% convinced this looks like bread lol. What do you guys think? Should I update the texture? 

Anyway, I'm going to make all my bread recipes (except for the sliced loaves used for sandwiches) in baskets now. I think it will look great in a bakery! 

This is an ingredient that's going to be used in my Po'boys but your sim can eat them if you want. I made the individual servings on little napkins that match the basket.

WIP - Honeydew Recipes

I started on the Etouffee and realized that it looks similar to so many other dishes that I really didn't want to make it until I can find a more unique way of representing it. Instead I've opted to make a sliced honeydew food recipe. I had meant for this to come out with the harvestable since (hence why Sims can't just eat it off the vine) but I wanted to get the cookbook updated first.

I've also got some Honeydew Fizzy Juice that I'm finishing up for the Palm Explosive. Note that the ...

WIP - King Cake

I'm testing the cake in game and thought I'd share a pic. I kind of obsessed over the texture a little but I really wanted it to look good. It was kinda hard getting the beads to look good on such a small sized texture. I also kept the option to add candles and a cake topper in case you really want to use it. 

Don't mind all the other cakes lol. I was trying to gauge the size of my cake compared to other EA cakes. 😋

Passion Fruit - Harvestable

Foraging Discussion

Per a suggestion from a Patron I decided to add a Foraging Skill to the main Foraging mod. I'm starting to flesh out the main parts of it off-and-on between updates and wanted to know what kind of ideas you all had for skill progression. I likely won't get to finish it until later in March but I would like to start brainstorming ideas for right now.

So far I think I'm going to make it so you can find better and more rare items as you level up and I'll add some standard options to talk t...
