Brazen's Journal • It's a New Year

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and a fantastic start to the new year! 🎉

Looking back on this past year, I’ve learned so much—especially about coding. Learning python has given me the opportunity to create new content without needing to rely too heavily on overrides. I’ve got so many ideas for making new mods and content that blend even more seamlessly with what’s already in the game, I can’t wait to bring them to life!

I’ve also started laying the groundwork for some exciting new add-ons. These will transform how you use my ingredients and recipes - stay tuned for updates! On top of that, I’ll be bringing back some of my older mods and content, as well as my lot builds that have been broken or outdated for a while. My goal is to have everything updated and ready to go by the end of spring.

On a more personal note, this past year has been a bit rough for me. I’ve been dealing with a back injury and other health challenges that I’m still working through. I deeply appreciate you all for being here and being so supportive. I'm feeling much better now and although my issues aren't gone, I’m managing well most days thanks to some changes in my routine. Thank you again for all your kind words and support! 🤗

Now, onto the good stuff - new content!

➥ Currently...

I've decided my next project is going to be something I've been wanting to work on for a while...Charcuterie!

I'll be releasing a new project discussion following this to get some input from you all. I have a bunch of ideas I want to get your opinions on, and I'm really excited to see your suggestions. Part of the reason I created Cheesemaking and Preserving was to make sure I could craft the ingredients for Charcuterie, so this has been on the to-do list for a while! 😁

I'm also going to try to add a group of new Nectar bottle recipes. I glanced at the tuning and it looks like adding some new recipes shouldn't be too difficult. Due to all the special animations that come with nectar bottles, these will require Horse Ranch to use.

I'll be working on Foraging/Hunting this month as well. Depending on how complicated this mod becomes, it may take a couple months to finish.

➥ Upcoming...

I'm still working out some stuff with the Indigenous American content that I planned previously. I want to make sure that what I create is properly represented and attributed before release, so this project is still a few months out. I also want to get Foraging/Hunting done beforehand so the content feels more cohesive. I will keep you all updated.
