I am looking to make mods for a creature and an inventoriable object. I have some old code from DS that I am trying to update.

I used to be able to use this:

--Testing only
function SimInit(player)
	local x, y, z = player.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
	GLOBAL.SpawnPrefab("item").Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)
end

AddSimPostInit(SimInit)

I tried checking into where SimPostInit is called, but the only reference i found calling it passed in nil (which matches my error).

I also tried AddPrefabPostInit, with "ThePlayer" - but that did not produce any effect. Beyond doing it directly, I also tried the code from "Starter Inventory," but that also did nothing.

For testing purposes, are there simple ways to spawn things?

if you mean spawning things for testing, you don't need to code that, just open the DST console, and write c_spawn("petals", 5) or c_give("petals", 5). Of course replace petals with your prefab's name, and 5 with how many you want to spawn/get

Oh, silly me. I am used to using code to get going as fast as possible.

I do not suppose there are any tricks, like getting a one-click new game setup?

you can check all commands in scripts/consolecommands.lua I believe there's some comment including the name "adventure" in it that gives you some starting stuff
