What this mod adds
Add interactivity to more objects in game, fueling that immersion we all crave!
This mod is currently in BETA, so features may change, break, or be removed as Paralives updates and modding tools improve.
There is also a great similar mod by another creator who beat me to coffee, rice, and toast. You can check it out here:

✅ Currently Active ✅
🍚 Rice Cooker:
Make single and group servings of white rice.
☕ Coffee Machines
Adds working coffee machine interactions.
Coffee cost $5 and increases your rest by 2 bars. But caffeine has consequences....so it decreases your bathroom by 2.

*currently not eggs on toast
**You now have to read the toaster manual in order to unlock the recipes, this is found on the bookshelf
