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 before installing the new stuff. I'll have more info as soon as everything is ready!

UPDATE 09/29/23:

So it looks like there are some issues with custom tags working properly and recipes could use an update to work with the new cooking system. Since you all were going to need to re-download them anyway, I'll update the recipes with those changes right now while I'm trying to figure out how to fix the tag issues. If it looks like it's going to be something that may take a while to get fixed then I'll just release everything without the tag fixes, but at least they'll work with the new cooking features. I'll let you know as soon as I have more info!

UPDATE 10/01/23:

Okay, so I literally spent the last 3 days scouring through everything and I've finally got it all figured out and ready to apply fixes and updates to my content. I might even have some neat functional additions for some of my stuff - more on that soon if I can get it to work.

Right now I'm going to take a break and have an early dinner with the kiddos because omg my eyeballs hurt 🤪 When I get back I need to go through my spreadsheets and rework the ingredient requirements a little to be more in-line with the new cooking functionality and then I'm going to move on to wrapping up all my updates.

I'm SO glad I waited one more week for the patch to come out because it would have been awful to have to re-work and re-upload everything twice. I'm sure you all don't want to be re-downloading it all twice either 😅

UPDATE 10/6/23:

There are lots of small, non-game breaking issues with my content I am still working on fixing atm so please be patient until I can get everything updated. I will let you all know in a an update post when all the new files are available.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

🚨 NOTE ON CONTENT: 🚨

Everything works fine except for the Core Modules so you should remove those from your game. They don't cause any issues but they are overrides made before the patch so they won't contain any of the new ingredient tags and they won't work for new EA ingredient types like 'Any Flour'. Everything else will still function, you will just be missing the 'Any' ingredients from any recipes until my next update.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

🚨 NOTE ON PATRON DOWNLOADS FOLDER: 🚨

The folder is getting an organizational update in addition to more instruction text docs to try to make it easier to install everything.

There's also an issue with the automation for the downloads folder so some of you may have not been added properly. I will get everything fixed and everyone added right before I release everything. For anyone who sent me a message regarding this issue I will make sure you're added before release. I will also post an update here for Patrons when it's ready!

Just about everything in this new pack are things already done by modders. But great for those that don't use mods. Brazen and others should get dividends from Maxis.

Does this mean the recipes are updated/functional or just an announcement that that will be coming soon? Sorry to bother, just didn't understand the phrasing/

As much as I want to buy the new pack, I won't play without certain mods so I'm waiting to purchase until after all the mods are updated. :) Recently I've been choosing patience instead of being hasty in all things. I find that it keeps my stress levels down and reduces headaches.

THANKS SO MUCH!!! I missed this notice and spent the last couple of hours trying to figure out what was wrong with my ingredients!!! CORE Modules are removed from my mods folder until further notice/updates!

tia smith

excuse me for being a thick, the file i'm supposed to remove is core food and drink? on curseforge, or remove all core files including crafting?

I wasn’t sure either. I just took out my entire BL folder until the update lol

Did you do that? So, can you tell me the difference between when there is/is not an expansion pack and whether there is a distinction?

Catalina Lunessa

all mod cors or just for ingredients, i/e harvestable, crafting etc
