Website is Back Up! 

!!! IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS !!!

• You will absolutely need to delete EVERY old version of my crafting/recipe/mod files. Anything from the 'Objects' section of my website are excluded, those haven't had updates yet. I've renamed files and absorbed some files into others so none of the new files will work with the old ones.

• Also, READ THE DOWNLOAD PAGE carefully and make sure you're downloaded any and all required files.

I know this is a pain but it was necessary for me to move forward with modding because my stuff started to overlap in a way that was causing conflicts.

Errors

Some people have been having issues with loading their saves. If you install the new files and are having an issue getting your save to load then try following these instructions:

1. Remove the 'Lotsa Storage' files from your Mods folder.

2. Load your game

3. Save your game; I chose to 'Save As' so I still have a copy of the original save if I need it

4. Close the game

5. Add the 'Lotsa Storage' file back to your Mods folder

6. The new save should open without any errors, just know that you may lose the items in your inventory or they may be moved to your household inventory.

There's really not another way to fix this that I know of and I couldn't find anything I could do with the tuning to fix this. They've done something in one of the last patches that I think changed the craft sales table tuning which is what I was using as a base for these mods so it messed them up.

• Re-organized folders; Downloads Folder should match how my site is organized

• Deleted some sub-folders to make easier to find files

• Changed the naming on some of the folders

• Moved most of the shared files from their original folders to the new 'Mods - Shared' folder. I did this in the hopes that it makes it easier to troubleshoot issues since the core of all the tunings are in these files.

*If you're experiencing problems or LE's then I would troubleshoot the folders in 'Mods' folder first and see if this narrows down the issue before removing any other folders as these are most likely to need updates.*

Important Note on Included Translations:

I'm going to be discontinuing the inclusion of translations with my content. I've changed things so many times and there's a lot of inconsistency with the translations because of it, I think it would be better to just leave them out for now. When my content stops changing so much I will look into adding them back. Those of you who have translated my content, I wanted to thank you for all your support and let you know that if you'd like to share a link to any of your translated strings please let me know and I will include them on my site!
