Changelog
You can find the most recent changelog here with a list TL;DR of all the important information about this update.
This update was for minor bugfixes, further updates after the most recent patch, and to add new expanded EA Recipes! All recipes have normal and "simple living lot challenge" compatibility, with custom ingredient requirements.
New Ingredients

With this update, you have 2 new ingredients. For those that are using my Toaster mod, you may already have these 2 items. But for those that don't, you now have access to them directly in SCCO. These include
Bag of Bagels
Bag of English Muffins
New Expanded Recipes - Pizza!

EA allows us to order pizza from the phone, or use the new "Pizza Oven" with home chef hustle. But why not the oven? So now you can! I have added every pizza in the game, from various packs to be made at home. These pizzas have 1 serving size available to craft, whole party serving size.
This includes the following recipes
Cheese Pizza
Canadian Bacon Pizza
Pepperoni Pizza
Kebab Pizza (EP08)
Sweet Corn Pizza (EP08)
Tikka Masala Pizza (EP08)
Chicken Teriyaki Pizza (EP10)
Pineapple Pizza (SP46)
Caliente Pizza (SP46)
Curious Pizza (SP46)
Margherita Pizza (SP46)
Marinara Pizza (SP46)
Quattro Stagioni Pizza (SP46)
Seafood Pizza (SP46)
Garden Pizza (SP46)
New Expanded Recipes - Cafeteria!

EA has a few foods only available on the "Cafeteria Station" and some from Discover University market stalls. But they could not be made at home, now they can! But there is one catch. To see/make these recipes you need to unlock it via "taste first" by eating the item, or by learning how to cook it by reading the DU cookbook! Each of the following recipes comes in 3 serving sizes, only available in SCCO, single/family/party serving size.
This includes the following recipes under "Bake"
Chocolate Croissant
Cinnamon Roll
And includes the following recipes under "Microwave"
Rice and Bean Burrito
And lastly includes the following recipes under "Cook"
Avocado Toast
Beef Kebab Wrap
Chicken Kebab Wrap
Chip Butty
Falafel Kebab Wrap
Fattoush Salad
Sausage Roll
Sweet Bread
Tabbouleh Salad
--------------------------------------------------------
π Hard Requirements
You need the following for SCCO to function.
Base Game (all non-bg files are marked with a pack number)
π 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
--------------------------------------------
π¨ Standard Install Guide π¨
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 Severinka
Are you a SCCO compatible creator and want your name listed above? Reach out to me on Discord.

8. Enjoy! All other files in SCCO are currently required for the overhaul. If you have any questions on installing, have suggestions, or just need help come by the Discord for assistance.
