[GTW] Cowplant cake only gives happy essence

Earlier I used the cowplant cake to change the mood for my sims, because every essence in the cake gave the same mood like eaten sim. But now after Hobbies DLS this cake bring the same value us every other food: just happiness because food was good. No mods. No bugs shows in my Mods folder. Just old but loved feature doesn't work anymore.

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to better reflect the issue, removed irrelevant thread tags, added missing pack tag. added thread tags for mod usage

  • Hi AnnaLiebtDieKatz​ 

    • what issues do you have with the game settings and the game menu ? 
    • Did you remove the mods or never had any ? 
    • What do you mean by no bugs shows in the mods folder ?

    • what issues do you have with the game settings and the game menu ?  - no issue. it was a feature, that was added with the DLC "Go to work". The feature looks so:
      IF YOU HAVE COWPLANT ESSENSE, you can Baking. If you have 10 level backing, you can back Cowplant Essence Meringue Pie. THis Pie was giving the mood, the same as essence you used. It was a nice feature that I used. Now it was just removed without any reason. No error. No glitch. Just removing feature during adding a new DLC. And it makes me really sad. 
    • Did you remove the mods or never had any ? - yes, of course. I don't have a mods. This feature was just removed. 
    • What do you mean by no bugs shows in the mods folder ? - as usually, when I have a bug, I can see the new txt file named "last exceptions". But it's not the case. It's not a bug, it's removing feature that was introdused with "Go to work" DLC, and I would like to have it back. Why they can just remove old payed features when they sols a new DLC? Is it fine?
  • Platform: PC
    Mods/CC: No
    Tested without Mods: Yes
    Bug Type: Removed Gameplay Feature
    Game Version: 1.116.232.1030
    DLCs Installed: All, including Get to Work

    Issue Description:
    This is not a technical bug but a removal of a gameplay feature that used to exist.
    When the player had Cowplant Essence in their inventory and had Baking skill level 10 (from the Get to Work DLC), they were able to bake Cowplant Essence Meringue Pie. This pie would give the Sim a moodlet matching the emotion of the essence used.

    Now, this feature appears to have been silently removed.
    No error, no crash, no mod conflict — it’s just gone after one of the recent patches (possibly after installing a new DLC). There’s no lastException.txt, no crash log.
    It is very disappointing that a paid DLC feature can disappear without notice.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Reach Baking skill level 10
    2. Obtain Cowplant Essence (e.g., by reviving a Sim eaten by the Cowplant)
    3. Try to bake Cowplant Essence Meringue Pie
    4. Feed the pie to a Sim

    Expected Result:
    The Sim receives a moodlet that matches the emotion of the Cowplant Essence used in the pie.

    Actual Result:
    The Sim only receives a standard “Great Food” happy moodlet.
    No unique or emotion-specific moodlet appears anymore.

    Note: This used to work consistently for years. Now it’s missing with no explanation. Please clarify whether this feature was intentionally removed.

    Thanks for answering the questions. I've removed all the thread tags from the first post then that weren't applying to the issue you are reporting.

    The LastException file is a log file (won't go into tech details here) and not every bug/issue throws one. It can usually be found in your doc folder, not the mods folder.
