Wow i never saw this. I hadn't planned on it. I do it for fun and to be creative, and steam is good enough for me for now. Maybe in the future but.........

Happens! Fair enough. Since you're reading this, do you think you can make a lightweight version of Smarter Vanilla Food which changes only the existing meals to need more different ingredients? There are some really great food mods out there which I'd like to use (Pawn Rules, I am Hungry, Vanilla...Expanded,...) and it doesn't sound as yours will be compatible in its current version. I mean, if changing existing Vanilla meals is not the cause for the mentioned incompatibilities.
