Homestead Helper - Simblreen Update
🕑 Added 2024-03-09 15:24:57 +0000 UTC🌱 Simblreen Update is now the latest version 🌱
Added compatibility for:
Cooking props for simblreen treats
[This is a small update and Novembers Update will still be coming next month]
What is this mod?
The Homestead Helper mod contains props for my 'cooking' mods.
It acts as a bridge between multiple mods so that I can make use of different cooking props without having to remake them for each mod or requiring you to have another mod if you (for example) only want to download the homemade prepped ingredients mod.
Mods that require the Homestead Helper:
Canning Recipes ~ home page
Homemade Ingredients ~ collection page
Handmade Prepped Ingredients ~ Home Chef Hustle required
Bread Recipes ~ home page
How to install:
Download the HomesteadHelper.package file and place into your mods folder - this mod will not do anything on it's own and is intended to be used alongside the mods listed above.
This mod is Base Game Compatible ~ any issues please let me know!
---
If you have been experiencing issues with 'off the grid' recipes not completing cooking whilst off the grid - please try this small mod override.

JoJo
i keep getting a BE saying this mod has invalid tuning
bub
Hi, all my mods are working after the update 😊
Kirsten Pace
hi i know with the new update to sims on 8/19 there has been lots of issues with script mods not working. have you tested yours recently?
jess
do I need to re download the bulk recipes or am i ok with just updating homestead helper? Thank you
Jen Giresi
Cool! Cant wait to try this later.
bub
Do you mean the list of mods that need the homestead helper? They are all compatible with each other :)

I know this is a dumb question.. but can i have all these required items in my mods folder with this mod?
bub
Some of them do but I know I've forgotten to add the tags to quite a few. It's something I need to go through and update.

Hey there, was curious, do these ingredients count as their counterparts also with SCCO? Like the broths and bread and cream cheese and frostings?
bub
Hi! Sorry for the slow reply. Which stove are you using? If it's one of mine do you have the updated versions?
bub
This is in the works now and hopefully will be ready for January!

Hi, I have the most recent version but my sims stop making the medieval soups and I can’t click resume, the only option is clean up. I’m also off the grid, but I have that patch too.

Do you think it'd be possible to add an option to "Pick Up All Servings" on the Homemade Ingredient items?
bub
Yes 😊

Hi, just download only the LBB_HomesteadHelper_02-10-24.package file, right?
bub
Hi, sorry for the slow reply! Have you had your sim pick up a serving of the ingredient? Unless it is through the stand mixer, your sim will make a 'tub' of servings. The game will only register the individual serving as an acceptable ingredient.

Hi, I've been trying for a few days now to make chicken and veg stock and noticed that the butter, prepared vegetables and prepared meats aren't being reconized in the recipes. Even though they are prepared and placed in the fridge or my sim inventory. This prevented me from playing the simple living challenge. Just wondering if there is anything that I'm doing wrong or if anyone has this issue?
Meka
Ohhh okay....so the homestead basket is an object? Sorry about that...somehow I missed that. Thanks for the quick response.
bub
The canning recipes are under the canning category on the homestead basket - you’ll have to click the basket and the pie menu should pop up 😊
Meka
Hi. I have downloaded the Homestead Helper and the Canning recipes. Where do the Canning recipes show up at?
Jen Giresi
Thank you, LBB. And yes, those were the shrimp canapes. They had a very nice party and served them with some finely aged nectar. I've had a lot of fun playing with this mod.
bub
Thank you for including me again! Not too many spoilers but giving enough insight so users know what to expect! I caught a little glimpse of some shrimps too hehe :)
bub
Did you grab the updated homestead helper? There was some cooking props recently added for the bread recipe :) I'm looking into removing the eating of prepped ingredients haha!
Jen Giresi
I just finished the video. Didn't give too many spoilers away but I hope you're happy with it. Thanks so much, LBB. Enjoy https://youtu.be/sE2CCfzEKxo?si=tkxP1NERnAYGhIS3

I've been excited to play this but have run into some problems my sims won't complete the baking the white crusty bread rolls command, it'll get stuck on the cutting board then there's nothing but a clean up option. Also my sims will eat the prepared butter before anything else thats made. Just the butter lol.
bub
Oh I didn't know that, i've not had any issues myself but I will change them just in case!
MarleyTheWizard
just noticed that you used ."" in the filename. it isn't recommended as it could interfere with parsing a command line (or path) if they were in a filename. there are worse characters to use, but still
Denise Curtis
Love everything you do:) Maybe do a dumpling/noodle dough in mixing bowl, Maybe pie crusts?? I am a homesteader that enjoys the cooking process and can't wait for more
bub
The cookbook is still needed to access grannies recipes. The basket only needs placing to click to make canning and homemade ingredients. If you don’t use them, there’s no need to place the basket.
MarleyTheWizard
so, if I place this, do I still have to place or have the cookbook in the sims inventory?
bub
They wont conflict with the recipes but they will conflict with other EA cooking prop overrides as they are replacing EA's mixing bowls. Once i've overridden all the other bowls/any any other cooking props I will put them in their own download post so there will be better info on how they work. They're not required for the homestead helper mod to work. 😊
bub
It's needed now that the cookbook has been updated 😊
K
Will the mixing bowl overrides conflict with others who have custom food preparation, e.g. Icemunmun, Oni, Brazenlotus? Thank you.
Patricia Richey
I download the homestead helper.oops was I suppose to wait lol
dianathejuicebox
GAAAAAASP!!! So excited for this!!!
Jen Giresi
Excellent! Can’t wait to try it
