Hotfix & Update 03.30.25

Just a couple of hotfixes for some issues with the Harvestable & Food & Drink Core Mods I released the other day. I also have a fix for the issue where sims would collect beetles instead of crickets from the insect farm.

Content Update 03.28.25

This is a large update with lots of fixes and a few new additions and changes. 

I want to start off by letting you know that any updated mods have been translated in all languages! Translations were generated using translation software, so there may be minor errors or sentence structure issues. If you notice any significant errors, please let me know on Discord. In the future, I will gradually add translations to all of my content.

The biggest change with this update is that I'm retiring the Core Retail mod in favor of the new Core Objects mod. This aims to simplify things for those who want to focus solely on object-related content without any extra stuff from my other mods. This means that you'll only need the Core Objects file for objects and object mods instead of the more comprehensive Core Mod.

🚨If you have the Core Retail file installed, you'll need to delete it (brazenlotus_ModCORE_Retail), then install the new Core Objects file and the retail Core Module (brazenlotus_ModCOREmodule_EP01_Retail).🚨

The second biggest change is that I removed the Core Harvestables optional file due to some issues it was causing. Instead, I've added a small override that makes it clearer when a plant is dormant, and I will add new interactions to care for dormant plants soon!

🚨If you have the Overrides file installed, please delete it (brazenlotus_ModCORE_Harvestables_OptionalOverrides)🚨

Functional RV's and Portable Market Objects have been added back to the site. The tarp has been removed for now because there's still some issues with being unable to grab it after placing in-world.

I've also updated my retail Crates, Barrels, and Flower Fridge to work with Businesses and Hobbies. The caveat (for now) is that you also have to have Get to Work installed to use them. It's going to take a little while to complete, but I will have an update in the future that allows you to use them with both. 

I've renamed some of the interactions to make them more clear, and added some new interactions so you can use them with your small business. The storage displays work GREAT on small business lots because you can choose to stock the whole surface from the inventory. If you have Core Crafting installed, you can even store items in bulk based on their category, making it super easy to store, stock, and sell a ton of items all from the same place!

Another note about Crate & Barrel storage displays - the inserts were previously able to slot into the surface of the object so it could be moved around together. Unfortunately, making that compatible with Businesses & Hobbies was not possible in their current state, but I will find a better way to do this with the new versions.

I wanted to upload these as soon as possible, but it may take a day or two to update the information on the site to reflect these changes.

Content Update 24.12

This update includes some small fixes and support for upcoming new content. See changelog below for a list of files that were updated.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The file name for my Custom Prepped Ingredients has changed - you MUST delete the old version before installing the new one!

Patch Update 1.110.265

The 'No Shared Inventory' mod has been updated to be compatible with the patch and I've also updated all my harvestables, crafting recipes, and food recipes to be compatible with the new Ghost Powers in the Life & Death pack. 

I've also included fixes for a bunch of reported issues, see the tabs above for details.

Just a heads up - the information on BrazenLotus.com and Curseforge may not be updated with the most current info. I know I've been working on it for a while but I didn't realize there were so many things I needed to fix/update on the backend so it's taking longer than expected. If you need quick info on how some of my mods work, you can check out the 'Reference Info' cheats on the Brazen Homestead Craftbooks and/or any planter.

Update 8.17.24

This update includes some fixes and support for new content. 

The most noteworthy updates are to some of my food recipes. I'm not sure how it happened but some of my recipes weren't fully updated for the Home Chef update so they weren't showing up for people who didn't have specific packs installed. I think I got them all fixed so if you were having this issue you should be able to access these recipes again. 

I also fixed the bug where plants grafted to other plants would show up in the tooltip as 'Grapes'.

Update 7.28.24

The patch didn't effect my mods but over the last couple of months I've made a lot of changes to how things work and there are quite a few files you'll need to delete before installing the new versions. This is a large update and there are quite a few bug fixes included as well :)

DO NOT try to overwrite the old files - I've changed some filenames so this will cause you to have duplicate files or it can cause issues if the file doesn't overwrite properly.

Core Mods: 

I've included some new scripts that allow me to alter in-game stuff to work with my mods. This means they shouldn't conflict with other creators mods and you no longer need to use override files, making some of my mods obsolete. You'll want to delete the following mods/modules completely from your downloads folder: 

Files to Delete:

• Core Modules where their name ends with: Ingredients / Various / Nectar / Canning / Food

• Mods | Fixes: Store your Wedding Bouquets / Store your Seed Jars / Fish & Herbs in Retail Fridge

I've also added some new interactions to the Brazen Homestead Craftbooks and all pots, planters, and garden soil that will add Reference Info to your sim's notebook. This is to help you navigate some of my content and reduce the need to constantly visit my site for details on a specific mod. These entries will be updated as needed.

Lastly, I've moved the inventory transfer interactions, 'Grab' and 'Put Away' to the Core Crafting mod since it makes more sense if you're using a lot of my crafting ingredients. People who only need the Core Mod installed for recipes or another mod will no longer see these interactions on their fridge and storages.

Harvestables: 

Harvestables have had an overhaul to update them and make them work with a few upcoming mods. You'll need to delete ALL the old files and install the new ones, as I said previously, DO NOT try to overwrite them. 

This update may cause some plants to disappear or no longer function, and if that's the case you'll need to replant them. If you're concerned about losing your progress, you can shift-click the new plants to cheat them back to their original condition. I know this is a pain but there were some changes I needed to streamline my workflow (and allow me to make content faster!) so it had to be done.

There is a new, optional file included with the Core Harvestable file called 'OptionalOverrides'. This contains overrides of all the gardening interactions like 'Weed' or 'Water' so that your sim can tend to a plant that is 'Out of Season'. Since my harvestables will grow out of season, it's highly recommended you install this file. I will look at finding a way to do this without an override in the future.

Harvestable descriptions now include a small blurb called 'Garden Lot Traits'. This is only relevant to the new lot challenges coming next week so you can ignore that for now. 

Notes: 

• I did my best to test as much as I could but with an update this extensive it's possible I missed something. Please let me know on Discord if you run into any bugs!

• I realized today that it may be difficult to tell which EA ingredients and harvestable plants have been adjusted so I'll be adding some text or notebook entries over the next couple of weeks in an effort to make it more clear.

• The information on the site will need to be updated to match everything in this update - please be patient with me while I work on that over the next week or so

Update 3.27

Files have been updated to support new content. There are a few small bug fixes included with this update as well. 

I would have had this ready a day sooner but I couldn't for the life of me figure out why sims weren't holding some of the food properly when they were eating it. Turns out it was a bug so it took me a litle longer to figure out how to work around it.

Patch Update 1.105.297

After the last game patch, if you don't have all packs installed you may have noticed some my content is missing or not working properly. This update will fix those issues. 

I also fixed a few bugs and reworked the woodworking recipes a bit to make more sense. I tidied up a few things like object descriptions and fixed a few small issues with crafting costs here and there, but nothing major has changed.

I've tweaked a couple of things so people who don't own Cottage Living should now be able to use my canned recipes as ingredients, although they won't be craftable or edible. Also, people who don't own the Kids Room pack should now be able to use the comics that come with my Voidcritter Shop set.

Update 2.13

Core Modules have all been updated. You can use EA harvestables for the 'Any Root Veggie, Onion, or Garlic' ingredient requirement until I get my custom harvestables updated.

Also, the Core Modules folder has been organized by pack to make it easier to sort through everything.
