I saw PixelDolly's recolored chocolate boxes for SimWardrobe's candy crafting station and I had a sudden urge to take it even further. The candy crafting station allows your sims or their employees to make five different types of chocolates and pack them in boxes for resale. Each flavor has a different effect when a sim consumes them.

I changed the objects crafted at the station from the boxes of chocolate based on the pizza object to the boxes from Parsimonious' For the Love of Chocolate set. I also added hobby enthusiasm to the machine and the chocolates and added special bonuses for the sim that eats them.

The five types of chocolates are:

1. Milk Chocolate: satisfies hunger, no special effect

2. Dark Chocolate: increases fun and hunger

3. Mint Chocolate: increases comfort and hunger

4. Ginger Chocolate: increases energy and hunger

5. Extra Dark Chocolate: increases hunger and adds love potion effect (eating disabled for children and toddlers)

I'm really excited that I got this to work and I think it's really fun, so I hope that you all will like it as much as I do. :)

Notes on the candy crafting station:

• I did not change the GUID of the Sim Wardrobe station, so you can't have both in your downloads folder at the same time.

• Sims gain cooking skill when making candy. (You must have the comm-skilling hack from MATY to gain skills on community lots.)

• On an owned business lot, candy will go into the business owner's inventory.

• New: Sims gain cuisine hobby enthusiasm when making candy.

• New: Candy output changed to chocolate boxes from Parsimonious. (see below)

• New: Changed icons on the machine from fruit to ones that match the "ingredients" of the different chocolates. Icons were created by FreePik at flaticon.com. They're crunchy up close, but I decided I could live with them. The originals were pretty crunchy too.

Notes on the chocolate boxes:

• The chocolate objects were created by Kate at parsimonious.com. Polycount: 904

• Sims will use the snacking animations when eating the chocolates. There is no half-empty or empty state. Sims will throw the box away when finished. If a sim lays the object down after picking it up, it will be turned on its side. Eating can be resumed if it is not empty.

• Placing objects on displays using moveobjects on may cause the item to disappear after restocking. Turning off the cheat before placement or placing the chocolates in the Decra-Chill display seems to fix this issue.

• These objects have new GUIDs, and can be used along with the original and its recolors.

• Eating these chocolates will decrease fitness rather quickly, same as snacking on chips/cookies.

• NEW: Sims gain cuisine hobby enthusiasm while eating.

• NEW: Sims no longer burp while eating the chocolates.

• NEW: Updated the price and catalogue descriptions for all and changed the box texture for the Extra Dark Chocolates. Prices are set as follows: Milk Chocolate $20; Dark, Mint, Ginger Chocolates $30; Extra Dark Chocolate $40

• NEW: Chocolate boxes must be crafted and do not appear in the catalog. If you want to be able to buy them from the catalog, just give the objects a buy category using SimPE or whoward's Object Relocator. If you do that, you can use these objects with or without the crafting station in your downloads folder.
