I don't get a LE, but no matter what I do, or the version I choose, there is -never- any options on the caning station. All pop ups open, but are blank (think I saw someone else mention this as well). All items are in root folder and not in sub folders. I have your candles as well in the same location and they work fine. I only downloaded the file today, so I assume it's your most recent update.

Update: The EA items needed one works (I think?). I get an option to make apple jam (that's greyed out, I assume because I have no apples?) but the pickles and spreads menus are empty. The Custom items needed, EA items optional, and Custom items optional all still don't work at all (but no LE's). Have tried in sub folders as well as Mods root folder. Neither seem to make a difference.

Hey, does your sim have the canning skill already? If not, it's normal that all options are blank. If your sim is new to the canning skill the only thing he can do, is make apple jam (if he has the required amount of apples in his inventory, of course). If the sim build up the canning skill more and more options are available.

I played for a bit last night, and just as you said, as she obtained the skill, the rest DID open..... HOWEVER... It is ONLY the EA version that works. The custom foods one doesn't work at all (So no starting apple jam option. All options are empty and stay that way).

Default Seasons update
Hi Icemunmun thanks for the awesome mods you do. After testing all of my mods, I think this mod takes away the make a grand meal option. Have anyone else noticed this?

is it for any particular stove ? I have updated the canning station base. Can you test with the updated base package ?

Hi!For only EA harvestable based preserves you need the base package + EA package + back plate. However if you want the custom harvestable based preserves also, you need the base + EA preserves + Custom preserves + black plate. So the custom preserve package on its own ( without the EA package) will not do anything!

That could be my problem! I have the EA in but NOT the custom AS WELL. I will add that in and hopefully that solves my problem! Thanks a lot for your great work, and prompt responses!

I made lots of grand meals

Geez, this is getting complicated. I downloaded 7 files and has tons of harvestable mods from before. Should I update them all? Some of them are probably made by modders who has left.

The only problem I have at the moment is the lack of receipts anywhere, but it might be missing skills. I don't remember anymore. My cook has lots of cooking skills, but does he need anything else? I just moved 7 canningstation mod files into one subfolder in the mods folder. I did have the station itself in game, along with several odd looking fruits in my catalogue somewhere. So I guess it works, but it's still empty. I just have to test some more, and will be back later.

I'm using it on an almost finished farm lot, and had it all there from before.

Another point is that he keeps tilting the canningstation when he uses it to make regular meals. I know that was a problem from before, but I guess it's something I have to live with.

Good thing for that flashing exclamation point! I almost downloaded everything (b/c I don't know what I'm doing!). Didn't play Sims 3 long enough for this option. Can't wait to try it out! Thank you for sharing it.

I read the discription one more time. I thought I had already don so. It turns out my big lot doesn't need any ingredients, but Elderberry plant suddenly dropped out. I thought I had read it the last time, obviously not. I now have 5 files in my mods folder.

Is there anything that can be done with this causing a "Last Exception" with MCCC?

Have you installed the Black Plate package ? Not having it will give rise to last exceptions. If you still see LEs after adding the black plate and testing with only this mod and MCCC, can you please attach the LE here ?

This mod is a gem! Thank you so much for creating it, and for keeping it up-to-date. I had a question about a future direction: I noticed that some of the jams/pickles/spreads you have for custom harvestables could now be applied to EA versions of those harvestables that have been added to the game--specifically garlic (Vampires) and honey (Seasons) (plus there was something about avocados ?). Are you planning to link the jams/pickles/spreads you already have to the new EA harvestables? Because I don't want to download the custom harvestables, but I absolutely love this mod and would love to get the jams/pickles/spreads for my beekeeping, avocado-ranching, and garlic-growing sims. Thank you!

To get the bread you need the - Canning Base + Black plate + Canning preserves EA +/- Canning preserves Custom . (You get the ingredient optional version if you want the ingredients to be optional instead of always required)
