WIP - Cheesemaking Beta v.2

Added 2023-04-26 00:26:48 +0000 UTC

Cheesemaking is coming along!

So the previous version of this mod/skill included the option to collect ingredients from artichokes and figs for rennet, and to collect cultures from spoiled food and certain types of harvestables for use in cheesemaking recipes.

There are several stages of crafting, some can be bypassed if you like because unless you're using Simple Living then all ingredients are optional.

The overall process is sims will make cheese curds, press the cheese curds in cheese press, then cure the cheese wheel on the curing shelf. Cheese curds need to drain for several hours before they can be put into a bowl and used as ingredients for future cheese recipes. Cheese recipes will use one of 5 or 6 cheese curd ingredients to keep it feeling more realistic without adding too many crafting steps.

There will be two categories of cheese recipes, fresh cheeses and pressed cheeses. Fresh cheeses can be used right away and pressed cheeses can be used after they've been cured. Cured cheeses will function like Vinegar where you get a better quality cheese the longer it ages.

In version 2 this mod, the skill is nearly mostly complete and functional and I've added the first layer of ingredients - cheese curds and rennet. You will unlock different types of cheese curds used in different cheeses. You can also chose to eat the cheese curds if you like.

I should have this available tomorrow for Golden Lotus patrons and above!
