This was a hell of an update I wasn't planning on but decided to just break down and do so everything I'm doing now is consistent. I went in and did a lot of housekeeping on all the items below and added a couple of neat features as well. 

I think I tested everything pretty thoroughly but it was a lot so if you have any problems let me know. I'm going to wait a few days for new uploads so I can address any problems that may come up.

The Patreon Downloads folder should be updated and current. Because there were so many updates, it might be a good idea to download folders instead of individual files. Some quick info on how it's all organized:

The folders and sub-folders should match the navigation bar on my site

I've moved all mods (anything that alters or includes any important tunings) to the Mods folder

If you'd like a general explanation of what each folder contains, you can check the description in the heading on it's corresponding page on my site (to see what's in the Mods > Crafting & Skills folder you can read the description at the top of the Crafting & Skills page on my site)

Large recipes will last about 3 times longer if stored in a cellar (any underground room)

NOTE: If you move a large recipe from an inventory, it must be placed on a surface for this to trigger. Otherwise you may need to live drag the item to another spot in the room to get it to trigger

Fixed items that were not properly marked as 'sellable' to village market stalls

Teas are now tagged as SCCO ingredients

Fixed an issue with a few ingredients that wouldn't let a sim interact with them if stacked on a surface with multiple shelves

Fixed and added various strings

Harvestables

Pick up all Servings - updated tunings

Mods - Crafting & Skills - Mill Appliance

general updates/improvements

fixed OTG & Simple Living menus to show up properly

recipes are now 3x more expensive to craft on OTG Mill when Off The Grid (to make it more of a challenge and encourage the use of ingredients); I'll be adding some exceptions to this in the future!

Patreon Downloads Folder

Re-organized folders; Downloads Folder should match how my site is organized

Deleted some sub-folders to make easier to find files

Changed any '&' symbols in folder name to a '+' (google drive doesn't recognize the & symbol and will change the name when you download the folder)

Changed the naming on some of the folders

Moved most of the shared files from their original folders to the new 'Mods - Shared' folder. I did this in the hopes that it makes it easier to troubleshoot issues since the core of all the tunings are in these files.

*If you're experiencing problems or LE's then I would troubleshoot the folders in 'Mods' folder first and see if this narrows down the issue before removing any other folders as these are most likely to need updates.*

Important Note on Included Translations:

I'm going to be discontinuing the inclusion of translations with my content. I've changed things so many times and there's a lot of inconsistency with the translations because of it, I think it would be better to just leave them out for now. When my content stops changing so much I will look into adding them back. Those of you who have translated my content, I wanted to thank you for all your support and let you know that if you'd like to share a link to any of your translated strings please let me know and I will include them on my site!

I appreciate you very much! Thank you!

A lot of updates. Does the override for the changing grabbing to eating overide EA's, or only your cookbook recipes? Thank you for sharing.

h. e. l. p.

Thank you!! It's a lot easier to navigate now :D

BrazenLotus

It changes the default which is EA's :) It's only the text that changes.

Puking king

Thank you so much for this update and the way you presented it. Although I had to update a lot, I updated with ease.

Hello, I'm typing this after the fact so I don't have exact file names, but when I do a direct download of the Objects folder, I still get a ton of duplicate files throughout the separate folders, I think the most stems from the Comfort section but there's also some throughout other subfolders of Objects. It's definetly better than before but if I'm not going through each and every folder, I run into duplicate exceptions from the BetterExceptions report log. I haven't tried just going through the folder while on your site and just downloading that way so it might just be an user error but thought I'd share anyway.

BrazenLotus

I know this issue has been reported a couple times but I don't see any actual duplicates in the folder. I tried making a new Google profile and downloading the folder but I still can't duplicate the issue. Im going to touch base with Google help and see if they can help figure it out.

Dee Holmes

Somehow it files as a package (1) or how ever many duplicates it made as if they're separate files in a way; I hope that helps a little.

BrazenLotus

Any and all information is helpful, thank you! :)

Bella-alexis Santarelli

Can someone please tell me where "The Patreon Downloads folder" is located. Is there a link? I can't seem to find it here or on BrazenLotus website.

BrazenLotus

There's a link in the pinned post at the top of the main Patreon page where all the other posts show up.

Hazel

I decided to delete all my mods from you and just downloaded the Google Drive folder (easier to keep up that way) and I have the same issue. Duplicate package files ending with with (1), (2) and (3).

BlackPiano

Where is the Patreon's download folder?

BrazenLotus

There's a link in the pinned post at the top of the main Patreon page where all the other posts show up.

So this is really random but my phone won't let me look at your website apparently its danger 🙈 but thank you for all the awesome mods you're creating. I'm also curious to know if you have updated the foraging mod 🙃
