Srsly's Complete Cooking Overhaul (SCCO) is a complete overhaul of all things cooking!
This mod changes all EA recipes to make them more realistic and immersive, expands EA recipes, adds custom recipes, and adds grocery shopping to your game!
I created this mod because I love cooking and wanted more from it in my gameplay.
In real life you might not be able to afford a meal or need to shop before you can cook.
So now you have to in Sims as well!
Just be careful you don't stave...

Current Version of SCCO: 2.3
Main Mod Requires Get to Work & City Living!
All other packs have optional files.
The mod requires "Get to Work" for the Baking skill, and baking assets.
It also requires "City Living" due to vegetarian additions/changes to recipes.
Grocery Shopping & Ingredients
With SCCO you are now able to shop for groceries in your game!This includes all EA herbs, fruit, fish and veggies.
As well as many new custom cooking ingredients added with SCCO.
NOTE: If you use Custom Harvestables by IceMunMun, Lenaid, KingZace, or BrazenLotus they will show up under their specific sort tag while shopping for groceries.
How to Buy Groceries:
All ingredients can be purchased from the "Shop For" menu on:- Computer
- Phone
- Tablet
- Cash Register (*Get to Work)
Simply click on the "Shop For" interaction on any of the above to start shopping!
Your sims will interact with the object and then you will be prompted with a purchase menu.
Items purchased from the Cash Register will be delivered to your Sims inventory.
Items purchased from the Phone/PC/Tablet will be delivered to your mailbox the following day.
Custom Packaged & Single Ingredients
SCCO adds many new cooking ingredients to the game. New ingredients are added all the time!
There are two types of new ingredients: Packaged & Single
Most ingredients are purchased in a "Packaged" form.
This is so you have a nice presentation to display your groceries in your ownretail store!
Most ingredients also include 1 small slot on top so items can be stacked easily.
You will need to open the packaged ingredients before cooking.
Each packaged items will give you 3-10 of the single ingredient once opened.
You can open packaged ingredients by clicking on them in the world or in your Sims Inventory.
Some "Single Ingredients" can be eaten directly. But be careful...
Raw Items can make some Sims a little... sick...
EA Recipes Overhauls and Changes
I have overhauled all EA recipes to make them require more realistic ingredients.
You will now need to use many different harvestables & ingredients to make a dish.
EA Recipe Ingredient Changes Doc - See all changes to recipes here. (Coming Soon)
NOTE: I will continue to make changes to all new EA recipes as they are released.

What is a crafting cost? Crafting cost is the price you pay to create the dish. Think of this as misc. ingredients your Sim might use to cook with that aren't required.
It will only cost you §5-§15 depending on the serving size you create.
You can craft most foods without the required ingredients, but this will cost you more.
You are charged an extra §3 if you do not have the "Required Ingredients"
So in total, you will end up paying the Crafting Cost + Ingredient Cost + §3
Crafting Costs by Serving Size (Small | Medium | Large):
- Coffee Maker
- Tea Maker
- Espresso Machine (Get Together)
- Fridge/Microwave Snacks

You can purchase these cookbooks from any bookshelf, computer, or anywhere else books are sold. They are each §200 and will teach you every recipe for that game pack that is "taste first" locked.
But what are "Taste First Recipes"?
These are recipes that can only be learned by eating them.
You would have to go to the location that the recipe was sold and taste the dish before you were able to cook it at home.
NOTE: These cookbooks must be read from your sims inventory.
The interaction menu on the bookshelf to "Read" will not work.
What are Tag Adjustments?
Tag adjustments will allow you to be able to purchase harvestable items that EA did not tag as purchasable from a vendor.
Such as garlic, honey, and spice market spices.
It also fixes some EA double tags, where one item is tagged for both fruit and veggie.
As well as things showing up under incorrect tags, like spinach showing under flowers.
Full list of "Tag Changes" here.

All EA harvestables (fish, flowers, fruit, veggies, herbs) have had their prices adjusted.
They have all been lowered to around the same price as SCCO ingredients.
This is to make things more consistant, and stop sims from being able to make tons of money from gardening.

As most of you know, I put off locking ingredients after finding out it breaks EA NPC's (like Butlers/Caterers/Baristas/etc.) and caused them to no longer function as they were intended.
Thanks to LittleMsSam we now have a way to make a "Required" version without breaking anything!
But it is a little different than what you might be used to.
Normally, when an item is locked it is greyed out but still visible on the menu.
Then becomes unlocked to craft once you have all of the necessary ingredients for that recipe.
This causes EA menus to be 100% blank no matter your skill level.
Once you have the ingredients in your inventory/fridge you will be able to craft it.
For Example: If I had cheese, bread, and butter in my Fridge or Sim Inventory the recipe for Grilled Cheese would appear in the cook menu and allow you to make it.

This file adds all IcyMunMun food/drinks to SCCO "Make Custom Menus" and prevents LE's from not using food group menus.
This takes some of the necessary files from the food group menus to allow Icy's to work properly with SCCO.
Remove this file if you use "The Food Group Custom Drink/Food Menus" or Remove their package files and scripts.
You cannot have both this compatibility and food group menus installed together.
Use one or the other.

What level in baking skill does my sim have to be to make strawberry cake?
ReplyDeleteSkill level 2, just as it was before. But you need level 2 in the Baking Skill not Homestyle Cooking.
DeleteI hope you could discuss with LMS so you might include More Servings Options in your mod. I do want to have both functions :P
ReplyDeleteSCCO will eventually offer more serving options in the future. :) It is on the to-do list. Stay tuned!
DeleteI love this mod. Thanks so much for all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteSo if I can read, this means that the mod that allows you to bake cupcake machine items in the oven will conflict with this mod?
ReplyDeleteCorrect! As that is already included in this mod. :)
DeleteLooks lovely.. going to have to keep up with this.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteIF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES PLEASE REPORT IN DISCORD, NOT VIA COMMENT! I DO NOT CHECK COMMENTS OFTEN. THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great mod, thank you for this! I love cooking in the sims and this will be amazing to use.
ReplyDeleteI used to use Graycurse's overhaul... but this seems much more extensive and useful! (And I won't have sims bugging out over grilling because they're out of 'cooking meat'...) I'm also so happy that it's compatible with Icemunmun's harvestables, Brazenlotus's harvestables, and KingZace's harvestables.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great mod!
This is fantastic! I've been using it in one of my rotational saves, and moving from a family that has more money to one that doesn't definitely shows in what they can afford to make. Love the immersion that brings! <3 <3 And since it's compatible with Icemunmun and BrazenLotus I have all kinds of varieties and recipes to cook :)
ReplyDeleteI absolute love using this mod in my game. Thanks so much for creating and updating such a wonderful addition to the Sims 4!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just way to amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutley love food mods
ReplyDeleteI think it would be really good if you chnaged the price off the Maxis ingredients, so they are much cheaper. Coz some of them are ridiculously over priced. Like an onion for $29!
ReplyDeleteIt's on to the to-do list ;) Coming Soon!
DeleteDoes this conflict with itsmysimmod's online utility system?
ReplyDeletehttp://modthesims.info/d/620955/online-utilities-system.html
No it does not conflict. It is 100% compatible.
Deletelove love this Grocery mod
ReplyDeleteHi there, I'm just wondering how this interacts with Icemunmun's recipe overrides for their vanilla and cocoa bean harvestables?
ReplyDeleteYes it dose conflict with the EA recipe overrides by Icymunmun. Any mod that changes anything about the EA recipes directly will be incompatible. Custom recipes and harvestables however are compatible.
DeleteDoes LittleMsSam's Ask to Cook mod interfere with this one? I ask because I'm not sure if it changes the recipes/menus or not.
DeleteYes littleMsSam "Ask to Cook Mod" is compatible! :) If you are even unsure you can check the #SCCO_FAQ in my Discord. All known incompatible mods are listed.
DeleteHmm right after I asked this question I opened the game and some City Living recipes were missing ingredients. I took out Ask to Cook, and they came back, and disappeared again when I added it back in.
DeleteI have not used the mod in quite a while, but if you come to my discord and can report some of the issues you are having between the two I can look into a compatibility patch.
DeleteI use Coolspear's 99 servings and 7 day freshness mod. I assume those will conflict with your mod but is there anyway you could release those cooking ingredients as decor items? They are absolutely great and I would love to have them to liven up my kitchen and grocery store please and thank you. <3 If not I completely understand!
ReplyDeleteActually my mod does no alter the resources that are included in coolspears 99 servings or 8 day freshness. So they should be compatible with SCCO.
DeleteOh wow I figured it would but then again I did not compare the XML's. Thank you so so much for replying and making this awesome mod!
DeleteWow... thanks so much for this! One of my gripes from this game was not being able to shop for groceries like in TS2... I always try to keep fresh harvestables in my Sims' fridges but it gets tedious either having them all garden, or going to the produce kiosk. This is beyond perfect and I am excited to go build my Sims a grocery store!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing! Can I just check if it's compatible with icemunmun's chicken coop and the eggs that come with that?
ReplyDeleteIcy's eggs at this time will not work for the EA recipe overrides. But they are compatible and will not cause a conflict with the mod. Just, you have to use the eggs that come with the mod. There will be a customs compatibility patch for the EA ingredients at a later time.
DeleteI LOVE THIS MOD, I still wish for a required ingredients option. That would make the game so realistic. The other mods are not as nice as this one so I´m still hoping that the required ingredients option will be added some day. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteDo I just need Icemunmun's recipes, or do I need the food interactions mod as well?
ReplyDeleteYes, you still need icymunmuns recipes and food interactions to see her items. They are not included in this mod. They work together though.
DeleteI'm sure if I understood right, but do I have to have Get to Work? Or is it ok with just Base Game? (I have Get Together, Seasons, Vampires, Backyard Stuff, Kids Room Stuff, Laundry Day Stuff and Vintage Glamour Stuff.)
ReplyDeleteYes, this mod requires Get to Work. As the "Baking" skill that all dessert items use now only comes with Get to Work.
DeleteSo, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but I can't seem to ever find the buy groceries option. the mod is there, because the ingredients are mentioned, but the thing on the phone doesn't show up, and it's no where on the computer. I really like the idea behind it, but I can't get it to work (and I've deleted and redownloaded several times).
ReplyDeleteMake sure script mods are enabled in your game, and that the .ts4script files are no more than 1 folder deep inside your mods folder (IE. Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods/SCCO) If it is deeper than that then the game cannot read script mods.
DeleteIf you have any more issues, please come to the Discord. It is easier to explain things to help fix issues.
Hi is this compatible with menu expander which support leniads recipes? If not, would you be willing to incorporate some of his old recipes, like soups and snacks and wines. Thank you so much for such a lovely mod
ReplyDeleteYes it does work with Lenaids Menu Expander. I actually updated his menu expander for him the other day. You can re-download it on his Download page or in my Discord.
DeleteSome of his recipes however are currently broken for the newer patches. If you find any be sure to let him know. :)
hi! I just updated my mod and now I'm unable to see/make base game recipes. Never had this problem before but I'm unsure what I did wrong this time.
ReplyDeleteThere is a new optional file with 1.7.1 that addeds a "required" ingredient version that makes these changes. Be sure to read the "Read Me" included in the download as well as the latest patreon post for specific information. There is also a section here on the mods main page explaining that new file as well.
Deletei cant get it to work and i tryed everything and it is making me very mad this food mod of yours does not work you should just stop it all togther
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are having issues, but it does work and has always worked. If you are having issues installing it then please come by my discord for help.
DeleteSince this mod lowers the price of grocery bought food does it also nerf the base price of harvestables when you sell them? That's something that I would like as a rags to riches Simmer.
ReplyDeleteYes! This changes the EA price of all harvestables (fish/fruit/flowers/veggies) This includes their Sell/Buy price and Retail Price.
DeleteIf you happen to not want this feature, just remove the "Price Adjustments" optional file. :)
DeleteDont download , its literally a waste of time. You never added any new recipes
ReplyDeleteExcuse me? Really. I add EA content recipes and items that are not able to normally be made at home EVERY single patch. Just because I do not make a never been made before custom recipe each update does not make this a "Waste of time". If you want custom recipes and nothing else there are tons out there. If you don't enjoy my mods and what I do then don't use them. Simple. I put all the time that I have available each month into creating, if my speed of making new items is not fast enough for you. You are welcome to make your own custom recipes too.
DeleteHello. I no longer see the tag adjusments addon option in the folder of the most recent update. I see the harvestables adjustments, but not the tag adjustments! :/
ReplyDeleteThe tag adjustments has been removed as an optional file and included directly in the mod. As I feel at this point is is more needed than not. But you will still need to choose your price adjustment packages if you choose to use them.
DeleteThank you for making this mod. I love cooking in any game I play. Definitely appreciate the time and effort you put into making this and keeping it updated. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I just wanted to say that I love this mod and the food categories, even though most are empty at the moment it makes me excited to see what recipes are added to the game. The food looks like it actually belongs in the game so its basically maxis match clothes but food! Everything works perfectly, no bugs no glitching. Perfect overhaul mod!
ReplyDeletedoes any other havestables from king z coincide with your mod or even interfere?
ReplyDeleteThis mod, and all of my mods will always be compatible with KingZace mods. But yes, all of his harvestables can be purchased wile grocery shopping.
DeleteHello Srsly Sims, I downloaded your mod again a few minutes ago. Drinks are not in inventory after purchase. In addition, my Sims can not cook, the refrigerator is filled with food and it also has level 10 in cooking. I previously deleted all cache files. Maybe I'm doing something wrong too? I've been using your mod for a while, so I can't explain it to myself.
ReplyDeletePlease come to my discord for help.
Deleteamazing
ReplyDeleteHi , This is amazing - well done. However I can't make cannibis edibles (from basemental) is there something I'm doing wrong or is this mod incompatible?
ReplyDeleteYes it is 100% compatible. Are you sure you are clicking on the Stove for the edibles menu? Make sure you have the most recent version of SCCO and Basemental Drugs. If you continue to have issues, stop by my discord.
DeleteSo if i get this mod i dont need the mts food group mod anymore?
ReplyDeleteYou still need all custom recipes, they are not included.
DeleteYou no longer need The Food Group "Custom Food/Drink" interactions, just my compatibility patch included in the addons optional files.
