You're very welcome, MunMun. 🙂 Least I can do is to try and get some more helpful information or try to troubleshoot basic installation issues. Like you, I trained in a medical field and then dipped my toes into programming and tech stuff however I'm nowhere near as skilled in either field and haven't the faintest idea how to create the kind of food, recipes or harvestables that you have. You make my game so much more fun and so if I can help out with some of the basic troubleshooting, then I'm happy enough to do that.

Also – try putting the eggs down on the floor/counter/table and then opening the carton. Sometimes that works if it causes an LE when you try to opening it from inside the inventory (or did in the past).

Looking forward to this – I love Srslysims cooking overhaul too, and it would be good to know that your OJ cure for fowl flu and simonella will work too with that mod. Also – is there any way you could hook into the medicine for a cure as well? That would definitely be helpful too.

After the recent patch, I was looking over Srslysims' update list and saw something that would do much the same as the previous comment. Srslysims has mod to make the antidote from Jungle Adventure available on any computer with two options: as purchase antidote or as purchase medicine. I wonder how difficult it would be to add/adapt your OJ cure to this mod. Just a thought.
