Vanilla Gourmet Parade and Vanilla Cooking Expanded Compatibility

Description
Short description:
Adds compatibility for Vanilla Cooking Expanded to Vanilla Gourmet Parade.
Additionally, adds optional compatibility for Vanilla Plants Expanded (and More Plants) as well KYD Baked Bread!
(And allows you to use even MORE cheeses added by Vanilla Genetics Expanded!)


What does it do?
For Vanilla Gourmet Parade:
-Base: Replaces "rice/corn" to flour from VCE where appropriate!
-Base: Fixes much of the funky MTL in all the items!
-Optional: Makes many recipes use specifically real life applicable ingredients if you have Vanilla Plants Expanded (and More Plants), or Baked Bread installed! Meatballs will use bread for breadcrumbs, croquettes will use carrots and peas, etc! (Using baked bread in recipes also reduces the meal's cooking time!)
-Optional: idk my bff Jill?

For Erin's Japanese Cuisine:
-Optional: Removes duplicate recipes from Erin's mod that exist in VGP.


This makes many recipes a bit more "demanding" (more ingredients to gather) while still keeping it as balanced as possible.

Recommended:
As suggested by Vanilla Cooking Expanded, the Common Sense mod will help reduce gathering time!


Notes:
  • This is just an XML patch, which seeks to flesh out some recipes with additions of VCE/VPE/Baked Bread items and give (some) of said items more use in game with VGP. Largely, this was a personal beef for myself seeing rice/corn being used as flour when I had VCE installed.
  • It DOES make some recipes more "demanding", which DOES drive away from the creator's original "quick and easy" pure Vanilla aesthetic. However, being both a food lover, and a Vanilla Expanded enjoyer I wanted to see these two mesh! So here we are!
  • I tried to keep everything in balance in terms of sheer "nutrition" input/output, but let me know if anything feels off. Lavish meals are meant to be wasteful though, so I was less strict about keeping things on a 1:1 there.
  • "Optional" means that if you have the mods installed, you'll have some of the ingredients from its mod available to use in VGP! If not, the recipes fall back to VGP defaults, or slightly modified recipes depending on what IS installed!
  • Please forgive my awful graphic design on the thumbnail lol

Bugs, Issues, Feedback
As usual, please report any bugs or issues you may find in the comments or in the dedicated bug reporting thread!
Any additional ideas regarding VCE/VGP balancing/tweaks specifically, are welcome if you have them! (E.g.: requiring specific vegetables, items, etc). I can't promise support for other mods though, as I currently only run with the Vanilla Expanded series.

@Adaxizui If you specifically mean the recipe for "Ricebread" then yes it is completely intentional that it isn't changed. Bread can be made from rice flour so I decided to leave that as is. If you mean something else, please let me know, as that's the only thing I know of that might match that. If your next question is then, "Why is there no regular bread?" There's actually a mod to make flour bread, which I plan on expanding this patch out to include that to eventually turn into a more "Cooking mods+" type thing lol. (Just have to get the personal time to do so)

Hi Chen, I've noticed a small issue. The recipe mentions that the bread is made from rice instead of flour. Can rice really be used to make bread? The patch should be running, as I've seen other recipes using plant-based flour and tomatoes.

@The Unbidden One I have not considered that, no. It's not a mod I've heard of until now, so that should more or less speak for itself lol. I'll think about it though, just if I do, it wouldn't make sense to not also adjust it for VCE, so...
Regardless, thanks for the tidbit for me to think on.

There's a lot of cross over with Vanilla Gourmet Parade and Erin's Japanese cuisine both of which i have installed, have you considered an optional patch that eliminates the duplicate recipes?

Thanks, @ChillySeed! Glad you find it useful! I too had a mild issue with flour being so one-note in VCE. Especially with how much you get from harvest, and how long it takes to grow from any source. Felt like it needed more love lol

Really nice mod and adds more use to flour other than baking and whiskey

Thanks! Happy to hear that, @NRFBToyStore!

Working so far in a mix of 500 mods, good stuff.

Patched! Please let me know if there's anything else of note!

Thanks for the report, @Cheri! I see the problem, was a bad naming on part of the script. I'll fix this right quick, and that'll be pushed out asap!
