hat_plays_simsEva's Cauldron Stove (with fix by Sunni) comes in twelve awkwardly-labeled Sunni Wizard's Tower metals, with three new food textures each-- boiling water, a plain grain pottage, and pease porridge (okay actually it's zucchini soup, but it was the only image I could find that was the right color and consistency and didn't have Fancy Plating swirls of sour cream) for a total of 36 reasonably historical recolors.
... And when I say 'reasonably historical,' I mean that while this IS a very accurate cauldron, Eva did a great job there, and Sunni's metals are pretty fantastic... I'm pretty sure a cauldron this big wouldn't have come in quite so many metals, and frankly 'Blueish' and 'Cloudy' look a little galvanized for the Middle Ages. (Also I'm pretty sure that a silver cauldron was... not a thing at all. But listen if your witches WANT one, here it is!)
Odd details, the 'brass' color is actually Wizard's Tower Gold, but a gold cauldron seemed less likely than a silver one. The attached handle and pothook still use the original textures, because they overlap on the UV map and I decided 'iron handle on all pots' made more sense than brass or silver pothooks. The contents are all historically accurate in theory (well, if the pease porridge actually were pease porridge, it would be). This is a cauldron for your BIG cooking jobs (or would be if it weren't a stove), like keeping water hot all the time in a castle kitchen, or cooking for a LOT of farmhands, or keeping that 'whatever keeps us alive goes in the pot' bowl-of-food hot for... well, the rhyme goes 'pease porridge in a pot, nine days old' for a reason. Keeping food hot keeps it safe to eat longer just like keeping it cold.
Make the best use of this stove architecturally by either building an inglenook (with walls or Buggybooz nooks and/or niches) and placing it inside over a deco fire, use cheats to stick it in a deco fireplace, or use cheats, flooring, deco fire(s), and maybe some floor dividers to designate a hearth in your peasant hut or Early Middle Ages great hall.
And two things to keep in mind while downloading: First, the stove has only ONE subset, so if you want all the pot contents, you'll have to grab them with repeats of your metals.
Second? This stove was added to Sun & Moon's Forging On Metalsmithing Set, so if you use that set, be sure NOT to install the included meshes. Keep your Sun & Moon edits, they have restocking code.

In case you feel like dropping me a buck or two, should you have a buck or two to spare. I don't do pay content and I can't seem to get requests done in a timely fashion, so donors get a link to the Super Secret Cat Gallery (you help feed my cats, you get to see lots and lots of pictures of my cats) and my to-do list Google doc, in case there's anything on there that makes a donor go 'oooh, when are you working on that one?'
