Updates:


Construction Supplies Woodwork Recipes


I've added wood and craft glue recipes to these. The recipes are accessible via the woodworking bench but you will craft them on the stove.


Core Crafting Modules - Woodworking


If you have the Off-the-Grid, Reduce & Recycle, or the Grody lot challenges active then you will create a pile of sawdust after creating anything on the woodworking table. Sawdust can be composted or used as an ingredient for crafting wood glue.


I've also separated the GP01 woodwork recipes from the base game ones since some people were having issues with them showing up in their game even though they didn't have the pack installed. There are now two files, only install the ones you need.

Notable Updates:


I've added a new delivery service via the mailbox for those of you who are Off-the-Grid or have issues with the NPC delivering your items via phone orders. Items will be delivered the next day to your sim's mailbox.

All preserving and cheesemaking recipes have been revamped to work seamlessly with a long lifespan. Items will preserve faster to be more in-line with that and their values have been increased significantly to make it more worthwhile to preserve them to their max levels and sell them for a profit. All descriptions have been updated to make it clear what conditions are needed to preserve those items and how long it will take to preserve them.


The preserving shelves have had an update so you can label them to help with organizing your preserved items.
