Causes:
When recipes are updated/changed in a certain way, it can cause a lot or your save to trigger an error, and it will refuse to load. This can also happen if you remove a recipe file from your mods folder and that recipe is on a lot in that save. I've never seen this error damage a save, but if you follow the instructions laid out in the 2023-12-08 10:50:25 +0000 UTC

Keeping it Modular!
From the beginning, I've tried to focus on building my content in a way that would be accessible to everyone, regardless of what other content you use or the space available in your mods folder. Last year I hit a wall and realized that what I was doing wasn't working and that I needed to come up with a better way to build and organize my mods.
I too...

It looks like there were a couple of patches today!
Regarding Updated Content:
I loaded the game for a sec to check for any major errors and didn't see anything. I'll be able to take a closer look at it later tonight.
I will have a small update to a few files (unrelated to the patch) for you guys right before I release everything publicly, sometime before the end of the week.

Folder Info:
I have made all of my downloads available via organized folders for Patrons to download as an add-on to memberships. These folders contain all of my publicly released content and have been organized to match the categories on my site, so it's consistent and easy to find any info you need.
There have been some issues with the folder.
⚠️ Update 12/04/23
I had to remake the automations completely but it looks like they're working now! I've tidied up and created a new Patron Downloads Folder post as well.
I'm still working the automations for the downloads folder so it may take a little longer for new Patrons to get acces...

The downloads folder is now available. I'll update the pinned post at some point over the next few days but you can find the folder HERE. Not everything in the folder got an update but I would start fresh by deleting everything and re-installing the entire folder.
Delete all previous file versions before installing the new ones. Also, with this...

Before I check in, I want to say thank you for being so patient with this last set of updates. I know it's taken a while between my original updates and the Home Chef updates and I appreciate you all being so understanding.

It seems like there were a lot of people who didn't see my most recent update about the Downloads Folder on the last post - you can check it out HERE.
After some testing this morning I had to trash the script I originally created for enabling custom tags. I found out it affected more than just ingredient tags and out of an abundance of caution I tossed it.

Hey all!
I don't really see anything that needs an immediate update. I'm waiting for tomorrow to see what happens with the new stuff pack and then I'm going to wrap up all my updates. I just want to make sure there's nothing I need to add/change that could be influenced by the new pack first.
Please be aware that the next set of updates extend to all core mods, crafting and food recipes so it will be a big one. You will definitely need to delete any old files and back up your save...

This is exciting! There's more info HERE.
The whole pack is based around cooking and ingredients. It doesn't add a ton of stuff but it looks like a nice balance of objects, cas, and gameplay.
I also watched Behind the Sims and noticed a few things about this pack....

There is so much I could tell you about everything I've been working on and updating but it's so much so I'm going to do my best to sum up the most important stuff here. I've included a bunch of images above, they don't include everything but I think it's enough to give you and idea of what I've been up to.
Before I move on, I wanted to apologize for the delay on updates. To be honest I underestimated the amount of work it was going to take to get all the new tunings added to the ...

This adds new functional objects for collecting and gathering water on lots that are Off-the-Grid.
These water sources are a convenient way of adding water to your Off-the-Grid lots. They will automatically add a small amount of water to your household throughout the day and give you an option to collect a more substantial amount if your sim chooses to 'Gather' water from it.
This adds three new functional planters to the game.
Single Planter
Double Planter
Quad Planter
I saw these in the debug catalog and HAD to have them as functional planters for my harvestable plants. These look really great filled with greenery against the backdrop of Chestnut Ridge.
Note: You can actually cheat an extra couple of plants into the double planter just keep in mind you may have routing issues.
This adds new decorative objects to the game.
These items were all requests by Patrons! I separated the 'Saddle Show Off' stand from the saddle and added a slot so you can place the saddle on top of it or leave it empty. This lets you mix and match the wood style of the stand with different color saddles. The saddle will sit in large slots or on the groun...

Adds new decorative objects to the game.
Pitcher
Glass Jar, Utensils, Metal Cannister
Several Hanging Pans
Pan on Cutting Board
Coffee Pot, Dutch Oven
Stacked and Open Nectar Crates
This includes some items that Patrons requested and a couple small gems I found while poking around in the buy catalog.
Because I couldn't help myself....
I planted the Three Sisters here and their effects play off each other to make them easier to maintain. The squash (pumpkin) keeps in moisture and keeps out weeds, the beans help fertilize everything else. The only part I never figured out was the corn as a trellis, maybe I'll look at that again when I update my harvestables 😁

Adds a new canning ingredient and crafting recipe to my Canning Skill.
A comforting and flavorful blend of tomatoes, herbs, and spices. It has a smooth and velvety texture with a slightly tangy taste that is both savory and satisfying.

This mod introduces a new Canning skill to the game. Sims will gradually acquire the ability to can increasingly complex items, starting with simple jams and progressing to complete meals and rare jams! Sims who reach the maximum level of this skill can sell their canned products to the Fresh Farms Co-op and earn a substantial profit!

This will be a fast poll because I want to release Canning this weekend but I just thought of something that I'm fairly confident I can do to make the canning recipes base game compatible. There's no guarantee, but if I can make it work it would mean that your sim would not be able to eat the canned item out of the jar.
If I do it that way I would still likely make some canned items, like canned soup or veggies, edible and require Cottage Living. This will leave plenty of other re...

Just checking in to let you all know where I'm at with projects. I've been quiet lately because I'm dealing with a pinched nerve in my neck that's affecting my right side and it's super painful. I started physical therapy a couple weeks ago and it's helping but progress is slow. I can only be at the computer for a couple hours a day so I've had to use my computer time wisely and when I do, I just dive in on working on upcoming content :)
