Patch - 1.101.290

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 upda...

Brazen's WIP Journal

Quick WIP

Because I couldn't help myself....

I planted the Three Sisters here and their effects play off each other to make them easier to maintain. The squash (pumpkin) keeps in moisture and keeps out weeds, the beans help fertilize everything else. The only part I never figured out was the corn as a trellis, maybe I'll look at that again when I up...

A comforting and flavorful blend of tomatoes, herbs, and spices. It has a smooth and velvety texture with a slightly tangy taste that is both savory and satisfying.

Quick Poll!

This will be a fast poll because I want to release Canning this weekend but I just thought of something that I'm fairly confident I can do to make the canning recipes base game compatible. There's no guarantee, but if I can make it work it would mean that your sim would not be able to eat the canned item out of the jar. 

If I do it th...
