This mod provides a basic foundation for all my other mods, crafting recipes, cooking recipes, and harvestables. It has resources that are shared across multiple mods and it keeps my files from becoming bloated with duplicate resources. It also allows you to download my content in a modular fashion, giving you more control of the size of your downloads folder. You won't be able to interact with this mod directly but it will provide the basis for other mods to work properly.

Custom Tags:

This file adds new tags to the game that I use for my mods and recipes. You won't interact with most of them directly, but I've created some additional tags that allow you to use a 'type' of ingredient for my recipes instead of using a specific one. For example, in some of my recipes, you can use 'Any Spicy Pepper' instead of a specific type of pepper, like a chili pepper.

There are two ts4.script files that come with this download. If you don't want to use my custom tags, then don't install the 'IngredientTags_Enabler' file. This will remove custom 'Any...' ingredients from recipe ingredient requirements.

Note on Compatibility:

I don't usually track compatibility or integrate with other creator's mods but I'm often asked about SCCO. As of 12/8/23, it doesn't look like our mods conflict because we use completely different methods of adding custom ingredients to the game. As far as I can tell, this file should work fine alongside that mod.

Custom Notebook Entries:

This file enables custom notebook entries for my content. You'll find a new section in your sim's notebook that will slowly fill with information about my custom content and mods. New entries can be triggered by crafting, purchasing, researching plants, or cheats.

I want to give a big thanks to Lot51 for their Notebook Injector code and to both Lot51 and Frankk for all the amazing tools they have available on their sites. 🙏❤️🤗 Also, a big thank you to everyone on the Creator Musings Discord, where there is a huge wealth of knowledge and a ton of tutorials available.

New Objects

Included with this mod are some new objects that are used by other mods:

Boxes of Insects

There are 25 new boxes of insects. Each box features an image on the front of the type of insect stored inside. These boxes include insects from Outdoor Retreat and Eco Living. I created them so that all insects can be used as ingredients for various recipes, even if you only have the base game installed. If you have Outdoor Retreat installed, you can choose to remove the insects from the box and display them, or vice versa.

Small Overrides:

I've included some small overrides to enhance gameplay that aren't commonly overridden, so they shouldn't conflict with other mods.

Wrapped Red and White Meat will show up as Wrapped Beef or Chicken Meat
Texture for snow on harvestable dirt piles is now seamless with surrounding snow
Some in-game text has been changed to make more sense

See the 'Conflicts' tab for more specific details.
