Hey All!
So I spent all weekend working on harvestable updates. There were quite a few things I needed to troubleshoot, the biggest 2 being the notebook entries and harvestable tags.
I was going to get into the details about the notebook entry issues but I don't won't to bore you all. As of right now I've created a work-around ...

As an extra perk, I've set up a system to give you access to my download folders. Access to these folders REQUIRES a connected Gmail account (see Access Details below). I'm constantly updating content so it also makes it super simple now to download large updates containing lots of files. If you are a new Patron who has ...
2021-07-20 21:59:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe BG patch will drop tomorrow so I'm going to focus on getting updates done and uploaded after work. Be sure to remove your downloads folder before you update your game!
Know that recipes, harvestables, foraging, and Cowplant farming may not get updates immediately because I have a bigger project I'm working on that will require me to ma...
2021-07-20 04:35:08 +0000 UTC View PostIf I can make foraging possible in-world (basically anywhere off-lot), which worlds would you like to see it in first? Feel free to leave a list in the comments if you like just be sure to list your favorite one first!

So basically, throw any and all ideas you may have revolving around the new pack in the comments below!!! 😁
2021-07-15 15:33:31 +0000 UTC View PostWith the release of this pack there will now be 3 possible versions of each food recipe; Off the Grid, Vegetarian, and Lactose Free. Currently I just mark recipes as what they are but now that we have all the new ingredients, traits, and lot challenges coming with the new pack it may be worth taking the...

How do you all feel about having leaf color changes for harvestable plants throughout the growing seasons?
I ask because it takes more time to make plants that change colors throughout the seasons. What I've been doing is try...
2021-07-11 01:23:32 +0000 UTC View PostQuick poll - it looks like all canning recipes for Cottage Living require ingredients. I'm not sure if it's because canning doesn't work with the new lot challenge, Simple Living, or if it was just a design choice. Which would you prefer?
For those of you who haven't seen it yet, the Simple Living lot trait makes it so that you c...
2021-07-11 00:20:28 +0000 UTC View PostI'd like to get an idea of how you all feel about when EA duplicates a harvestable I've already made. There are quite a few of them in this pack, in fact the blueberry looks exactly like mine you really can't tell the difference between the two 😂.
Anyway, there are a couple of options.
I'd like to add some new canning recipes but may need some time to work out some additional meshes. I like the way the jars they gave us look but I also like a little bit of variation. Also, I think that I'm going to follow EA's format where you get several small servings of canned goods instead of measuring servings l...

After watching the live stream it turns out I was right and the oversized veggies are completely different that the current plants we have. To grow them you have to purchase a jar of seeds and sprinkle them onto the garden plot tile, which is required to plant them.
Since I'm sure they will need to ...

I finished the Crawfish Boil and the Seafood Gumbo! I added a little sprig of Thyme to the Seafood Gumbo bowls so they look a little fancier. I also may go back and darken the texture a little for the Gumbo, for whatever reason it turned out lighter in-game.
Anyway, I have to head out for a family thing but I'll upload them to download for...

So I put this mesh together for the crawfish boil a couple of weeks ago but when I went to upload into the package yesterday I realized it was SUPER high poly. I found a neat way to cut down on the polys and was able to bring it down quite a bit. It's still a little high, but considering that you probably won't have more than one at the table I ...

I wanted to give an update on the remainder of the New Orleans recipes and ingredients. I've been trying to get these ready before the end of the month but since I spent a lot of time setting up the download folders it looks like I'll only have a few things ready for you all tomorrow. It's looking like the coffee with chicory ingredient, coffee ...
2021-06-30 07:53:38 +0000 UTC View PostThis poll is about the upcoming pack and has to do with the new milk, egg, and possibly wool ingredients that are coming.
I won't be able to get a good idea of what I'm working with until the pack comes out but I'd like to see how you feel about some of the ingredient mechanics in preparation for it.
I'm not sure how EA's...

I wanted to share this with you all in case you haven't seen it yet. I'm going to have a bunch of polls and discussions coming soon to help me plan for when this comes out. There's also a blog that talks a little more about the pack
Hey all!
I've been sick the last week but I've been working in bed from my laptop on a bunch of new integrations and automations so I can keep up with all the new updates I'm sure are coming with the new pack(s). A few new things I'm rolling out from now into the weekend:
Hey all! Just wanted to let you know payments are paused for everyone until July and I'll be approving site members later tonight. I'm working on updates and stuff this weekend and I'm hoping to have a better way to download files in bulk ready by early next week. I'll post another update once that's done. I hope you all have a great weekend! 2021-05-30 00:47:59 +0000 UTC View Post
Here are all the harvestables and a new type of fish trap that catches crustaceans, I will be adding more options as well as some shellfish in the future.
I need some help with inspiration for the next lot so please throw some ideas out in the comments section below!

Hey all. I've been MIA the last few weeks due to several health issues. I know I'm a little behind but I'm pretty confident I'll be able to catch up in the next week or two. If I can't get caught up by the last week of this month I'll be pausing payments for everyone for May.
Over the next day or two I'll be catching up on public releases,...

This is a base game mod that adds an option to 'Shop BrazenLotus Farms' that lets you purchase almost all of my harvestables. For now I've added it to planters in-game and to my produce stands, if you'd like it added to another...
2021-04-21 15:13:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! I've literally spent the last 3 weeks updating my content. I started updating stuff originally thinking I only needed to fix a few things but when I got in there and starting poking around I found SO many other small issues. Although none of them were game-breaking I decided to just bite the bullet and fix it all. I wanted to make sure ...
2021-04-16 16:56:12 +0000 UTC View PostFor the spice bottles, label or no label?
I'm going to add the option to purchase my harvestables to some objects in-game so they're more accessible. Obviously I'll add an interaction to the harvestable planters, but where else would you like to see the option to purchase harvestables?
Also, if I decide to make a 'Buy Ingredients' interaction where you can buy individual ingredien...

This month I'm likely going to be down for a week or so like last month so I've moved and adjusted my projects accordingly.
I'm going to get those recipe updates to you all this coming week. Work has been crazy - I've been working almost 12 hour days so my brain has been fried and it's been hard to focus at night. This week should be...
