Cream Cheese • Cheese Ingredient
A soft, mild tasting cheese. Sims can measure a serving to use as an ingredient in food recipes or they can eat it as-is. Sims who have mastered the Cheesemaking skill will get an additional buff from eating this.This ingredient can be purchased via my Brazen Delivery service. If you'd like to craft this you'll also need to install the Cheesemaking Skill.DOWNLOAD PAGE
Lemon Juice • Juice Ingredient
This is a juice drink and ingredient that can be used in my food and crafting recipes. Sims can purchase this item or they can craft it on my Press appliance. Each bottle of juice can be separated into 8 small bottles that can be drank or used as an ingredient.DOWNLOAD PAGE
Low Quality Woodworks • Woodworking Recipes
This makes those low quality versions of woodworking recipes available to craft at a lower Handiness level. This is a great option for those playing rags-to-riches or survival who want to be able to craft stuff they can use and furnish their house fairly early in the skill. They won't look great, but they'll do the job!DOWNLOAD PAGE

I've separated the frames from the mattresses so they can be used to mix and match with other separated beds.The frames for these beds will actually slot to the mattresses, allowing you to grab the mattress and take the frame along with it when redecorating. The exception is the crib, you will need to place and move the frame and mattress separately.There is also an optional ...

When the cheese curds are done they'll need to drain for several hours before you can use them. Once they're ready you can collect them as an ingredient or as an edible food.When you collect the cheese curds you will also get a bottle of whey. That whey can b...

I'm feeling better so I'll have some new uploads soon and a little info about the next big recipe project later this week.I'll be following up on messages in the next day or so please be patient, I'll get back to you all asap.Thank you!
Ingredients Poll
This is a follow up poll about 'Any...' ingredients and where they will be used up in recipes.I know I've released a similar poll before but I'm going to throw it out there one more time since there were some issues raised in the last poll and I want to make sure that I'm using the right ingredients where you all want them.Option #1 - Use 'Any' ingredients mostly for Simple Living recipes Example: optional 'Wheat F...
Game Update Today
I'll be checking out compatibility later tonight when I get home but I don't anticipate there being issues with anything except for maybe a few of my objects that will need updates to their slots.As always if you run into any issues let me know!
Harvestables & Recipes Poll
I'd like to know how you guys feel about having different harvestable variations. I'm going to use Chives as an example although this would apply to any harvestables moving forward...Option #1. You prefer to have a generic 'Chives' harvestable that can be used for all recipes that normally require a variation of that ingredient. This would mean that real life recipes that would normally call for 'Garlic Chives' would use &...
Required File Hierarchy for my Content
I get a lot of questions about which files are required for my content so I thought I'd throw together an infographic showing what files are generally required for what types of content I create.The content groupings correspond to the different pages on my site and the arrows point to the file required in order to use that content.This is meant to give you an idea of how things are organized. Some downloads may have different/additional requi...

Rainbows came in second and Stegosaurus was last.I know this as a ton of screenshots but I wanted to show all the variations that there are in the Whale set that's coming later this week 🙂I couldn't settle on if I wanted a single or double cake so I just made both lol. The cupcakes and cookies are baking recipes and will re...
Next Project
I've decided to take a detour before I wrap up cheesemaking. After the last set of releases I feel like I need to take a quick break from tuning mods before I burn out and the infants update has me excited to make some new recipes and objects. Golden Lotus will still get beta access to a small part of cheesemaking in the next set of releases.Since Growing Together came out I thought it would be the perfect time to put together a few birthday ...
Personal Notice
I didn't feel well yesterday and I'm feeling even worse today so if I'm not active on here over the next few days that's why. I'm going to postpone uploads until I'm feeling better, likely later next week.
