Changelog
You can find the most recent changelog here with a list TL;DR of all the important information about this update.
Minor Bugfixes
This update changed a few "expanded recipes" and updated some older items for new loots/tuning/etc. Updated the logger and cheat commands for support reasons.
StartCrafting Changes
For as long as SCCO has been around, it has made overrides to EAs startcrafting menus. These menus are what list out what recipes show in each menu. This required updates every time EA released a new recipe. Now with the marketplace, quests, and random recipes added all the time. It was time to find a new way around that.
SCCO no longer directly overrides StartCrafting. It now uses a script to change specific aspects of the menus, but leaves the recipes list intact. This way when new recipes are added they will automatically be listed to make instead of needing to wait on an SCCO update.
Recipes will still get their price/ingredient/etc changes during SCCO updates.
Dessert as Baking Changes
With Get to Work we were given the Baking skill. SCCO has always moved all cakes, pies, and other desserts to "Bake" instead of "Cook" or "Gourmet". But Often users that did not have Get to Work would leave these files in and not be able to find their dessert recipes.
This update fixes that issue for those people. Dessert as baking is now done via a script. So if you have Get to Work installed the mod will automatically move all of those recipes to Bake, and make sure their skill/loots/etc are set to the baking skill. If you do not have Get to Work those recipes will remain in their original menu with original skills.
Take-Out Delivery Changes and Updates
First, Take-Out delivery menu has been removed from a direct menu listing in the phone and moved to the EA "Order a Delivery" menu. There are now 3 major menus when clicking this phone option.
Order Grocery Delivery
Has the EA Grocery Delivery option + SCCO Mega-Mart Grocery Store option
Order Food Delivery
Has EA Pizza and Zoomers Food Delivery Options + SCCO Take-Out Delivery Restaurants
Order Shopping Delivery
Has all SCCO Go Shopping stores
Next, Take-Out options have been expanded upon. There are now a total of 31 custom restaurants to choose from. Each sells specific foods/drinks based on the restaurant type. This is so you can quickly decide which type of foods you are after. All EA recipes for food/drinks that currently exist can be found in these stores.
Lastly, "Go Shopping" stores now have a direct delivery option. You can now order from any of the shops and have them delivered. (Note: Currently stores use the same outfit as take-out delivery, a new outfit for these NPCs will be coming in a future update)
New Recipe Pricing Overhaul
Last update, there was a new script added that give us the ability to price recipes. Where we made sure there were no more 0 cost recipes. This update brought price changes for ALL recipes that can be made at home. Including Retail/Restaurant/Crafting price.
Ask to Make
The Ask to Make menu found on all appliances to ask other sims to make a recipe has now found its way to the Espresso Machine and the Blender. So you can now ask sims to make these recipes too!
EA Adjustments Script Changes
The EA Adjustments script that was a standalone script within the mod has been removed. It has been re-packed into the main script for the mod.
With these changes, some EA ingredient overrides were removed since the script can now handle these changes that were made. This will help prevent the need for overrides and incompatibility with other mods that override the same items.
--------------------------------------------------------
🌟 Hard Requirements
You need the following for SCCO to function.
Base Game (all non-bg files are marked with a pack number)
🌟 Optional, but Recommended
Some features of SCCO are built around the additions of these packs. For the full experience of The Sims 4 cooking I recommend these packs.
Cottage Living
Home Chef Hustle
--------------------------------------------
🚨 Standard Install Guide 🚨
1a. Download "Lot51 Core Library" is now REQUIRED for the mod to function. Install this mod as directed on their mod page, or simply place their script directly into your mods folder.
1b. Using an old version of SCCO? Delete all old files before updating. Do not just override old files. Sometimes packages are moved around, or renamed. This will cause issues/duplicates.
1c. Download the most recent version of Srsly's Complete Cooking Overhaul. If using windows, un-zip the file using WinRar or 7-Zip.
2. Put the "SCCO v#" folder that you un-zipped directly inside your "Mods" folder. Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods
DO NOT drag and drop files from inside this folder into other folders/or directly in your mods folder. You need to leave the folder intact. This is the best way to ensure the mod is working correctly and the fastest way to update when a new version is released.
If you installed SCCO correctly, your file path should look like the red highlighted path:
(version number and content inside of the folder will be different depending on the current up-to-date version being installed.)
NOTE: Make sure you DO NOT have "Microsoft OneDrive" controlling your computers Documents Folder, if you see little green check boxes this means you are not using a local documents folder, and OneDrive needs to be disabled. OneDrive is incompatible with The Sims 4 [Pic]. This will cause major issues to your game/saves/mods/etc. If you need help with this, come by the Discord for assistance. [Disable OneDrive]
3. Remove any Features for packs you do not own, or do not want. You can read about each file in the "text document" found in each pack folder. All features for the pack are listed to explain in depth what each item does.
4. Pick and Choose Ingredients! With SCCO v5.0.0+ you are now able to choose which SCCO ingredients you would like to use in your game. If there is an ingredient you do not wish to install you can delete it.
All SCCO Ingredients are 100% optional.
NOTE: If you are using the EA Cottage Living "Simple Living Lot Challenge" you must use all SCCO ingredients or use another SCCO compatible creators ingredient that uses the same tag, or type. With the Simple Living Lot Challenge active you must have all ingredients to create a dish. You will not be able to spend money to craft recipes. (You can only spend money to craft a missing "Any Ingredient" requirement with the lot challenge disabled.)
Example, if you do not have SCCO chocolate (or compatible creators chocolate) installed you will not be able to fill the requirement for any recipes that call for "Any Chocolate".
Want to make something compatible? Stop by Discord for an beginner friendly (super easy) tutorial to make any creators item compatible.
5. Remove any Cookbooks for packs you do not own/have installed. Some EA packs have recipes that are locked by careers/achievements/tasting first at market stall. Reading these cookbooks unlocks these recipes for your sim to be able to craft at home. There is also a cheat when shift+clicking on the sim to unlock these recipes if you have the cookbook also installed.
6. Remove any additional files you do not wish to use. You can use SCCO as is at this point, all features are highly recommended for the best cooking experience. But if you didnt want a specific feature/expanded recipe/Go Shopping you can remove those now.Note: I do not recommend deleting "Go Shopping" even if it has been made optional. You will be unable to purchase any SCCO groceries in the mod, and all cc items relating to shopping will need to be removed as well. All shopping related features REQUIRE the "Go Shopping" files.
7. Download any external SCCO compatible downloads you want to play with. You can now download any other creators content that is compatible with SCCO. As long as the creators files are custom they will work with SCCO. Some creators even rely on features provided by my mod to bring further compatibility to the cooking community.
A list of compatible creators as of this update are:SrslySims | KingZace | IceMunMun | Oni | Robin | LittlBowBub | Rex | Amelice | YourFalseHope | AroundTheSims4 | LuSimLaStars | & More!Partial Compatibility (See Mod Pages):Somik and SeverinkaAre you a SCCO compatible creator and want your name listed above? Reach out to me on Discord.
