Is PPJA the DGA version fully useable on its own?? I tried using all of them but still like fantasy crops and Fresh Meat just refuse to work.

I've downloaded the whole megapack that's on Nexus, and I've noticed that many of the assets refuse to show up in-game. The ones I've noticed the most are Mizu's Flowers and Fresh Meat, with some assets from both of those packs functioning just fine while others are blank. I've just harvested some meats that showed up as crops, but were harvested as "DGA Dummy Objects", with SMAPI's prompt being "[Dynamic Game Assets] Failed to create item for paradigmnomad.freshmeat.DGA/Beast Meat! Does it exist and is an item (ie. not a crop or fruit tree or something)?"

Other than that, other mods such as Lookup Anything and Simple Crop Label both acknowledge PPJA crops as "weeds".

The letters with recipes also yield nothing, with nothing attached (I don't have a quote from SMAPI but I remember it as being something about not being able to find the recipe?) - yet when I check through the files, it looks like all of the objects have images and the recipes that are meant to be mailed do exist.

TLDR; objects frequently show up as blanks, cannot be located by DGA, and do not register as the items that they are. Recipes don't show up in the mail, but are listed on the stove. The recipes don't have ingredients, and ingredient objects do not process as being part of any recipes. I'm not a coder so I don't know how easily this can be fixed, but I thought it might be worth reporting it.
