Automatically places all canning jars in Sim inventory when crafting completes

⚠️ Status: TESTED & COMPATIBLE with the September 22nd, 2026 Patch (PC/Mac: 1.128.90)

Jar Away

by deadlystingnyc

Tired of canning jars cluttering your counters? This lightweight script mod automatically moves completed canning jars directly into your Sim's inventory the moment they're finished — no more clicking around to collect them manually.

Cottage Living EP required.


Features

  • Automatically collects all completed canning jars into the crafting Sim's inventory
  • Works with all canning recipes, including those that use the water bath animation and those that spawn the jar directly on the counter
  • Suppresses the vanilla duplicate-jar inventory notification for a cleaner experience

Requirements

  • The Sims 4
  • Cottage Living expansion pack

Installation

  1. Download deadlystingnyc_jar_collect.zip
  2. Drop the unzipped folder in your Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods folder
  3. In-game, go to Game Options > Other and make sure Script Mods are enabled

Troubleshooting

Open the cheat console with Ctrl+Shift+C, then enter testingcheats true. The following commands are available:

Command Description
jc_state Shows mod status: whether it loaded, how many times it ran, and what jars were collected last run
jc_log Writes the above output to Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/jc_log.txt

Hi, I'm deadlystingnyc! I've been playing Sims since way back in the Sims 1 days! I'm a Sr. SDET by day, and in my off hours I make mods I want in my own Sims 4 game. I'm so happy that other people seem to like them too!
