Custom Oven Hearths/Fireplaces

They're not quite how I wanted them to look but I didn't want to keep you waiting any longer. I will probably make more in the future that will hopefully look better 😅

Home Page for custom medieval(ish) 'Hearths'.

Each Hearth:

  • functions as an oven and a fireplace

  • is base game compatible

  • can be paired with the Medieval Cookbook which will display a cooking menu directly on the hearth

  • can cook Grannies Cookbook, Homestead Helper and in game recipes (not available directly through the hearth - use either the object or a fridge)

Please also download one of the required oven tuning packages:

Wood Required - if you are using 'foraged wood' from the Hunting & Foraging Mod

or

No Wood - can light without needing wood

Fixed 1 Shelf Hearth

If an 'off the grid' recipe is not actually working off the grid - please try downloading this small fix mod to hopefully fix that issue.

Updated 30-08-2026:

  • Updated Open Fire Shelf hearths so your sims should now be able to cook herbalism tonics on the stove top again.

I don't know what's wrong. I have installed what you listed above, and I chose to use wood. All the recipes are grayed out. Don't know what I am missing. I have the cookbooks. Please help

i think something in the oven's custom tuning is preventing recipes from being cooked on it if they utilise the stovetop part of the oven at any stage in the cooking process. if there are only lbb custom hearth ovens on a lot when you try to cook a recipe like this (e.g. recipes than involve frying eggs in a pan), it will cause an apparent route failure. these custom hearths seem fundamentally incompatible with stovetop cooking; once the sim reaches the step of the recipe that requires usage of any of the burners on top of an oven, they will cancel the cooking interaction altogether and refuse to resume it until a non-hearth oven is placed on the lot. this seems to have been an issue for a while now, i hope it gets fixed bc i really would prefer to just use these ovens for every recipe

Every time I try to cook porridge or stew, my Sims display a footprint thought bubble as if they can't reach something, and the cooking never progresses. Other meals seem to work normally.

yes, it seems to be related to recipes using the stovetop part of the oven, rather than the oven shelves. you have to use an EA oven with a stovetop/hobs (or any custom non-hearth oven would work too).

Hello. I'm having some trouble with this. When I try to open my game with this installed, my game gets stuck loading indefinitely . My game loads normally when I take it out.

I spoke too soon. I did t realize you also needed the oven hearth for oven recipes. Now it’s cooking everything and it’s great.

I love this. I had an idea for a rental in the woods, like a rustic hunting cabin. Can't wait to incorporate this. Great work, Jess! ❤️

Literally have been playing with these since I got the notification, works well and love them. Thank you also for the slots, my sims put food there, or I can put clutter~ Only worry/question I have, since they also function as a fireplace, will it catch on fire if left alone? There's no option to upgrade to "fireproof", which I why I ask. Thanks again for all your wonderful work!

I’m loving this so much!! I was wondering would it be possible to add “canning” to the hearth stove?

You've actually reminded me that I need to upload the ea canning recipes package for my homestead helper!

I can not, for the life of me, get these to work. Every time I place them, my Sim starts the food on the counter and then cannot use any of the hearths as a stove. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I am using the UsesWood Tuning.

Is this off the grid? Could you try using this fox to see if that makes it work again - https://www.patreon.com/posts/off-grid-recipe-113279217

Omg, I love the Cottage Hearth. Soo cute!! Does this mean a chance of a Corner Hearth in the future?

Littlbowbub · October 5, 2024
