Simsco Candy Factory
This is an add-on for the base game Cupcake Factory, as well as my Simsco Canning Factory mod, that allows you to make Businesses and Hobbies pack candy on the machines.
I didn't think the built-in candy maker was Willy Wonka-like enough, but the Cupcake Factory is perfect for this. It's also slightly faster to make candy on the Cupcake Factory than using the built-in candy maker.
It also adds Small Business employee rules that can direct a small business employee to make candy on the factory. So you can have your Oompa-Loompas toiling away in the back room making you rich!
On the Cupcake Factory, it adds a Craft Candy interaction that allows you to make candy with the usual ingredient and skill requirements.
On the Simsco Farm Factory, it adds the candy recipes to the Jams & Preserves section of the recipe picker.
For Small Businesses, there are options to direct an employee to:
Craft Candy (makes random candy)
Craft Cotton Candy
Craft Jellybeans
Craft Lollypops
Craft Cupcakes
Craft Pastries
They won't need a particular skill to make these things to allow them to make a variety of products without requiring a particular skill level, and they also won't need ingredients, since that doesn't really work with autonomous crafting.
Once something comes off the conveyor belt, they will pick it up and attempt to set it on a surface. Make sure they have something nearby to set it on.
Pack Requirements
Businesses & Hobbies
If you have the Simsco Canning Factory mod installed, it will add recipes to it. But it shouldn't be required.

Yay, you fix sims not eating the candy. Why did it take so long? What was the process?
The problem was incredibly hard to spot, though it was literally visible as it happened (but I didn't realize what it was showing me for a long time). The SlotType of the built-in candy was not compatible with the slot available on the cupcake machine. When I was debugging it, I tried inspecting the product while it was on the conveyor belt, and it was fine, completed and edible. But when it would travel down the conveyor belt, at the end, the candy that was set up correctly blinked out for a moment when it tried to mount in the slot on the cupcake machine, and was immediately replaced with a copy that lacked all the stats (like 'done') that were added by the recipe. I finally had to clone all the different candy objects, set the slot types correctly, then use those. That finally worked. It turned out to be a problem with the objects themselves (the slot types) rather than the recipe or the process. Thanks for asking!

Hi, I'm having an issue where the candies made in the cupcake factory can't be eaten; it only shows a resume candy. Can you look into it?
Hmm, you know, I remember testing that you could sell it....but I might not have checked to see whether you could eat it! Whoops. It's probably just missing a tag. I'll check it out and post a fix. Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you for this mod and all the work you’ve put into it ⭐ I hope you don’t mind - I’ve translated the mod into Russian for Russian-speaking players: https://boosty.to/minami_/posts/705c4975-cb91-4155-8271-7640601e4dac Перевод мода на русский язык: https://boosty.to/minami_/posts/705c4975-cb91-4155-8271-7640601e4dac
Thanks! I will include the link above.
Thank you, this is going to save counter room for my business 😊💗
Thank you!
this is ingenious! when i was playing with b&h, I always thought it was a bummer I couldn't mass produce candy (among other things). tysm
Hi, this downloads as _zip instead of .zip
Fixed! Thanks for letting me know!
This is amazing, thank you so much! Will you eventually also make a version which lets employees craft the regular recipes of your canning factory mod as well?
I have one I'm working on. With that one, employees can make one of a category of things (bread, vegetables, meat products, dairy). It's been tricky, though, since all the recipes currently require ingredients and that doesn't work with employee activities, but I've found some workarounds that might do it.
Thank you so much for your amazing work! I am looking forward to trying this out!
This is delightful. I now have to create some oompa loompas and put them to work 🤣 Thank you!
