Let me know if there's any new buffs you'd like to see added to the 'Create Family Recipes' screen. If you make a suggestion please also give me some ideas of how you think they should be unlocked as well!

I don't know if I understood the question I think. I know that there is already a spice buff, a refined thing, but I would add a specific buff on the spicy from pepper and chili pepper because many specifically love chili pepper more than spices in general, a more passionate than refined thing.

I think it would be cool to have a buff that increases the speed of skill gain for preserving and/or cheesemaking skills. Could also be cool to have one that functions kind of like the treasure map, in which when they have the buff they are more likely to find rare or high quality collectibles. I'm not sure if that's possible or how that would work tuning-wise, but could be fun.

My previous comment under the post "Discussion • Mastery Perks" could also/instead be applied for special touches. Below are new ideas. A special touch to increase gardening skill gain and/or temporarily increase garden tending speed could be very useful. A sim would unlock it by watering, weeding, spraying for bugs, and fertilizing a plant within an allotted time. (I would suggest that 1 of everything needs to be done within 3-4 hours. Spraying for bugs takes forever.) EDIT: This special touch could be fantastically useful for my save file with the (beta) Complex Garden lot trait that I'm still periodically playing. A special touch to find "bonus servings" of an item or find a random, seemingly-unrelated item when measuring out or grabbing all servings could be fun and silly. For instance, when measuring out Wheat Flour, the sim gets 2 extra servings of flour - or they instead find 3 boxes of Beetles (Eco Lifestyle required) as though they found weevils. They find Outdoor Retreat Fire Ants when collecting Raw Sugar from the preserving tray or measuring out Granulated Sugar. They could unlock this special touch by eating spoiled food that used to be excellent or impeccable quality? Or by having low skill levels in multiple "kitchen" skills? (If you don't want other packs to be required, you could have sims find other similarly-tagged goods, such as finding some Raw Sugar or Granulated Sugar when measuring out Powdered Sugar.) A special touch to incorporate randomness into gardening could be both useful and fun. The sim finds a random purple or green tomato when harvesting from a regular tomato plant. Field corn from the sweet corn plant. Or completely random and likely a simpler file - glue from an apple tree or diamonds from the raspberry bush. (Like a combination of your Waste Not lot trait and finding random stuff when harvesting Horse Ranch prairie grass.) This could be unlocked by living on a very small lot, living in a tiny home, having more than 10 garden planters or Cottage Living garden patches, or something else. I really like the idea of using special touches to introduce some randomness for storytelling purposes. The Spontaneous Rage special touch shouldn't be the only special touch that isn't completely positive.
