  7. Because it's just the plain .package file and doesn't need to be unzipped or opened, after downloading, all you need to do is move the file to Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods! 🙂 If you don't see this folder under The Sims 4, you can just create a folder where it should be with the name Mods and it will work.

  9. I'm also having this problem. My sim collected the eggs and got a carton of them in her inventory. While it was in there, no options appeared when I clicked on them. Upon removing them from inventory and putting on a surface, the open option did appear but didn't work! My sim stuck her arms out to the side and reset. I tried several times but it didn't work so I deleted the egg carton and got some money that way.

  14. Came here to mention that there are animated chickens roaming around in Sulani! The first thing I thought when I saw them was, oh my gosh this could be made into a part of the chicken coop!

  23. Have you considered an option of using your harvestable corn to produce your own chicken feed? I play some historical or post-apocalyptic themed challenges and like having to find or craft what I need in them whenever possible. This seems like a perfect opportunity for that.

  29. Hi MunMun, I just installed this mod of yours and I'm having the same issue where I can't open the egg carton and the character resets with nothing deposited in the inventory. Would love a fix! Thank you so much for your wonderful work ❤

  36. HOW I GOT CURED FROM HIV VIRUS BY GREAT HEALER CALLED DOCTOR IDAHOSA.Good news to everyone, I am here to testify of the great work Dr idahosa did in my life with the help of his herbal traditional medicine. I have been suffering from HIV since 2016 and ever since then I have been looking for solutions on how to cure it. I have being to different hospitals but I discovered none of them was working out for me that I was just wasting money. So I decided to live everything to God, then I was taking my medications to sustain my life and reduce the pains. So on this particular Sunday morning after coming back from service I sat down and began to ask myself questions, then my phone rang behold it was my Brother calling which I answered the call and he started telling me that a friend of his who has been suffering from same HIV VIRUS has just been cured by Dr idahosa the herbal medicine man. Then I was over whelmed, even though I was a little bit confused so he encourage me to also give Dr idahosa a trial and see for myself then I told he to help me get his contact and forward them to me, So immediately he got the contact of Dr idahosa and send them to me, immediately I contacted Dr idahosa and he told me everything I needed to do to enable me get the herbs for my medications and immediately i did that which he instructed me to do without wasting anytime. And here I am today sound and healthy without any symptoms of HIV or any sickness in my body system. And he also told me that there is no sickness on this planet earth that doesn’t have a cure that with the help of natural herbs he can cure any sickness or disease you can ever think off. So if you are suffering from HIV VIRUS or any other sickness or disease and you need a cure you can also contact Dr idahosa with this Email Address at (dridahosasolutioncenter@gmail.com) or add him on whatsapp +2348134261542 so you can also receive your healing and share your testimony, God bless you all.

  39. Hi! I have the NoDisease version (because, well, the comments about the entire town getting Fowl Flu put me off of trying the full version lol) and I noticed BetterExceptions shows some tuning errors from this mod:Showing last 6 minor error logs.These are provided for additional info and might not actually have anything to do with the exception.(most recent log last)Tuning | Incorrectly matched tuning types found in tuning for blacklist in Instance: 17579803867294327207 (icemunmun:loot_Buff_Eggs_Bad_Eat_Salmonella), Types.ACTION.

  40. Hey…thanks for these! Fortunately none of these syntax errors will cause any issue. I will correct these in the next version. I will also reduce the spread of disease.

  41. Thank TwistedMexi, I only noticed anything because of his mod. 👍 More importantly, thank you for your hard work! Tuning tweaks are one thing, but complex mods like this may as well be wizardry to me.

  45. What version of the mod are you using, and what were you doing when you got the last exception? It might also help if you could post the last exception error that you got too.

  48. A few questions:1) Have you made sure that the downloaded files match with your version of the game/installed packs?2) You say they're in your mods directory – are they only in the root of the Mods subfolder or are they within deeper structures? Make sure that mods are enabled within the Sims 4 game options.3) If you go to the Build/Buy menu, can you find the Chicken Coop for $500 in Outdoor Activities (or search for chicken coop)? How about Chicken Feed for $5 in Kitchen Appliances?
