Ingredients Poll #2
This poll is kind of a continuation of the last.
So I'm not committing to anything because I'm still weighing my options, but if I did use an ingredient Type (Any Flour) instead of a Specific ingredient (Bread Flour), where would you rather use it? The normal recipe or the Simple Living version of the recipe?
Note: The Normal recipe is just what you use if Simple Living trait isn't active on the lot.
Sorry I had to repost this because I'm still half asleep... 2022-02-27 18:44:25 +0000 UTC View Post

While I was working on updates I was wondering (because my mind is always wandering lol), do you all prefer a recipe using a specific ingredient (Bread Flour) or a type of ingredient (Any Flour)? I'm trying to determine which direction I want to go with a future project. Feel free to explain or leave suggestions in the comments below!

Hey all, it looks like the files in the 'Herbs, Spices, & Flowers' folder had some duplicate files in it. If you downloaded the whole folder then please remove any older versions of the file or alternatively you can just re-download it. I changed the settings in my syncing software so hopefully that fixes the issue but if now let me know if you run into any other problems.

Pack Release & Update
Looks like they're releasing an update with the pack today. If you've checked the Technical Manual you'll see that I've checked/updated most mods and I don't think today's patch will effect them. If you have issues let me know.

I'm actually re-working this, I think you all are going to be VERY happy with what I've been working on! Anyway, while I'm doing that, do you all have any suggestions or improvements to the mod in general? I can do some add-ons like more furniture for woodworking and more uses for insects later, but with the core part of the mod is there something specific you'd like to see? I'll do my best to incorporate what I can into the final product!!!

So a while back I pre-made a bunch of buff names and descriptions for harvestables but I never thought about making one for Honeydew Melon or Passion Fruit.
SOOOO....if anyone would like to help with creating buffs for these 2 harvestables I'd love to hear your suggestions! There are 3 items I need for each of them:
- Buff Name
- Buff Description
- Mood for Buff

March WIP - Harvestables
So here's what I've got for the passion fruit and honeydew melon so far but I may make a few more adjustments. I know the textures on the passion fruit aren't the greatest but I think they look pretty good for now. I may go back at some point after I'm all caught up and do a texture refresh for some of my plants since I might have found a better way to make them.
The trellis in some of the pics is just an in-game object I backed up to the passion fruit so you could see it better, ...

I'm Back with Announcements 😏
Thank you all for the thoughts and well-wishes while we were sick. My sons and I are much better after having covid but my husband is still having trouble breathing sometimes. We just need to keep up with his breathing treatments and the doctor says he should be feeling better (worst case scenario) in 2-3 months. It's still a little scary at times but I'm thankful it's treatable.
So that's my first life update.
My second life update is that I'm no longer working a full-ti...

Hey all. I will likely pause payments for this month as well, so payments won't resume until the 1st of March. My family and I have been sick with covid since just before the new year and I'm still not doing well. My symptoms are slowly getting better but my doctor said to plan on being down another week or two.
Please be as safe and as cautious as you can be, especially if you have other health issues. We have all been vaccinated, including my 16 year old son, and we have all gotten very ...

Happy Holidays to you all! I've been away and haven't gotten much done so payments will be paused for this month, meaning the next charge won't go through until Feb 1st. If I'm not back before January 1st please also have a happy new year. My hopes are that the next year brings better luck the last! Take care and best wishes! 🤗
