Does anyone know what the line is concerning kava? (ex: this mod modifies "xyz")
I center it on tables, counters, reset it, delete it, repurchase, but the only option is to put in inventory. I don't have anything that would seemingly affect the kava bowl; so i'm looking for the code lines that affect the kava bowl, or a way to find out.

The best way is to do 50/50 test. Move all of your mods to some place and test the game without them. If the kava works as intended, then start putting them little by little until you find the culprit.

I was trying to get around that because every few months, after a break, i delete all of my cc and start over, and i've recently just did this last month. i don't have much in there now (4gb) but i guess i'll have to try again

I know it's been several months since this has been posted and all, but did you ever find out what it was that caused this to happen? I'm currently having the same issue with my own game (I've literally never done kava stuff since it was kinda boring to me in the past) but I have the Beach Life aspiration and I can't get it to work to save my life. Unfortunately for me I have about 174 GB of cc/mods so it's not as quick and easy to slowly remove things and see what fixes it.
