Re: [FIXED] [SE] [CoL] Required Seaweed ingredient missing from game

For the simple living lot trait, it says I need seaweed to make onigiri and seaweed ramen. However, I can't find it anywhere. The seaweed in the debug build menu is not interactable, and if my sim catches seaweed while fishing, she throws it back in the water. There's no seaweed in groceries either. Does anybody know where to find it? Does it even exist in the game?

    @PersonKID123 When you have the Expansion Pack Island Living you will be able to buy it in one of the booths near the beach bar In the Ohan'Ali area. Hope that will help.

    Have fun playing. 😉

    I tried the booths and snorkeling and couldn't find it. Is it seaweed or mermadic kelp you can get snorkeling? I bought mermadic kelp to try and see if it would work, and it didn't

    @PersonKID123 I think its both i know you can definitely find seaweed by snorkelling cause that's how i get it it can take a while to come across though try the cave thats at the ship wreck lot i sometimes find it in there to though that is also hard to come across it will take a few tries.

    @Trismagistos I've lived in Sulani almost exclusively since the pack came out. As far as I know there is only one booth by the bar in Ohanali Town. It just sells food. I just traveled back to Sulani & it only has Traopical Veg Plate, Grilled Fruit, Pork Adobo, Roasted Fish, BBQ Salmon, ShishKebab, Kalua Pork Plate. the Vending Machine only sells Coconut, Kava & Taro ingredients.

    I agree with the other posters that it is ridiculous to think a recipe from Snowy Escape would require an ingredient souly from Island Living. This must be a mistake.

    I even decided to place Zee's E-Z Poke Stand, Jess's Big Island BBQ Shack & iLand Beach Shax on the community beach lot just try hiring vendors but none of these items have Seaweed for sale.

    Please fix this. I love onigiri & make my sims eat it a lot since I usually live off the grid. Thank you.

    @Amalathea My Sims recently moved from Sulani to Henford on Bagley to try out this world and they brought the seaweed, that they bought at the booth along with them. It was still in their inventories and was bought at the exact same place near the bar that you mentioned, at Ohan'ali Town. This was just after the Cottage Living pack came out. My Spellcaster Sim was able to duplicate the seaweed before the bug appeared so there was no need for me to buy it again. 

    My reaction on OP was on Saturday before it came clear that it definitely is a bug. So, my initial reaction ment for OP was to try it out there. Later, when I tried it myself, my Spellcaster couldn't duplicate it anymore and I noticed it wasn't for sale in the booth, so I gave it a 'Me too' and XP. 

    I am sorry to read that you experience this bug too. And, like you I hope it will be fixed soon.

    Have fun playing. 😉

    @DylanOfSlytherin Here are the two types of seaweed! The first is the item you could buy and used in and as food. The second is the debug item.

    Hope that is the information you were after.

    Have fun playing. 😉

  • The item in the inventory, is not at all seaweed. It's mermadic kelp, how you turn a Sim into a mermaid. Has nothing to do with cooking meals that require seaweed.

    @thesimslover828 You are right! Some of the issues in the topic got lost in translation. The first image is like you state kelp. Both however are stated as food!

    That's true, how odd they'd mark mermadic kelp as food, considering it's special use. Very interesting to know. 😀

    There is a food stand that is hidden in the catalog called the ready set go shack (or something similar) that only shows up during the fishing tournament in onalihi town (forgive spelling) which is Saturdays in game I believe. That is probably the one that has the seaweed ingredient you can buy but I have yet to test it in game. 

    Regardless it is probably a bug that items from snowy escape require having island living and I have dropped a me too.
