About the Update

This release is the last for bugfixes and updates after the 6.0.0 rework of the mod. All major bugs have been worked out, and all current features are stable!
Special thanks to everyone that helped report bugs in Discord! Bug reports are the best way for me to check on issues and fix any problems. Also a super special thanks to SarahWhite42 for their rigorous playtesting!
You can read over the changelog linked at the top of this page for the complete list of changes made in this upodate. If you are coming back to SCCO from a version PRIOR to 6.0.0 please be sure to read over the 6.0.0 changelog and update page, as features/install instructions have changed.

You will also find all install instructions in the "Read Me" files included in the download.

Harvest Meats from Meat Wall has RETURNED!!

You once again will be able to harvest EA and SCCO meats from the Eco Lifestyle meat wall. This is an optional "addon" file. If you do not wish to use this feature, you can remove it safely.

Yes, I know this isn't exactly immersive. But for those that play challenges with limited supplies, like the History Challenge, it provides a way to get this items without being un-immersed by using a phone/etc.

For those that use this new file, you will be able to get EA "Wrapped Red Meat", "Wrapped Poultry", and SCCO "Pork", "Tofu". from the vertical meat wall. This will consume the growth state of the "plant" and place the gathered items in your sims inventory.

You will find these new interactions under the "Harvest Meats" pie menu when the meat wall is ready to harvest.

Go Shopping Objects

I have been asked a few times for a subtle way to buy groceries. For users that have limited space, various lot types other than Retail, or want to use TwistedMexi's T.O.O.L. mod to place an object in the world to use.

More objects will be added in the future. :) But for now you have 3 new items to use to purchase groceries from. Simply click on the object, and the "go shopping" menu will appear.

All items come in 21 colors!

Breadbox Addon Updates

Instead of just having 1 CC breadbox for you to use. I decided to make another + other versions. They all function the exact same way. You can use ALL of them or pick-and-choose the ones you want.

Versions Included:

BG - V1 = Original breadbox, base game compatible version of the Parenthood breadbox made into a functional storage box with interactions.
BG - V2 = base game compatible version of the Country Kitchen Kit breadbox made into a functional storage box with interactions.
GP03 - V1 = EA Override of the Parenthood breadbox made into a functional storage box with interactions.
SP21 - V2 = EA Override of the Country Kitchen Kit breadbox made into a functional storage box with interactions.

Eat Waffles with Fork!

Not sure why EA thought all waffles were created equal as hand foods. I sure wouldnt want to pick up a syrup or fruit covered waffle with my fingers! So now your sims wont either. They will now be a little more weary of sticky fingers and use a fork when eating any waffles from the "Home Chef Hustle Waffle Maker".

Oh, did I mention you wont be able to stick to that lovely diet eating waffles. Your sim will no longer gain 0 calories from eating them. You will now gain 100 calories for each plate of waffles your sim consumes.

Better Ice Cream Stand

I totally love the ice cream vendor that is on the pier in Copperdale that came with High School Years. But... them only serving 5 flavors kind of stinks.

So for those that also have the "Cool Kitchen Stuff" pack will now have more variety to choose from. You will now be able to buy ALL cool kitchen ice creams from this vendor. For those without cool kitchen stuff, you will be able to get the standard flavors.

If you have "Snowy Escape" you will also be able to purchase the "Ice Cream Creeps" from the vendor as well.

For those Sims that do not want a cone, you will also be able to now buy a bowl of ice cream instead! Just be sure to clean up after yourself!

What is Next for SCCO?

Now that all the major bugs have been squashed. Its time to finally start working on "expanded recipes" and additions/adjustments to EA recipes.
As those of you know that are long time SCCO users, the recipes folder was temp removed. This was due to the Home Chef Hustle kit being released, and updates needing to be made to all recipes. Instead of editing old files, I decided to make all of those additional recipe files over from scratch!
So what does this mean? Soon you will be able to see all dessert items in the bake menu, and they will count as baking recipes instead of cooking. Recipes that can only be purchased in the world from vendors/restaurant will be able to be made at home. All EA recipes will have a single, family, and party serving sizes. That will just be the start of whats to come in a future update!

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. 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 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 recipes for packs you do not own. Open up the "EA Recipes" folder inside the SCCOv# folder.

Inside the "EA Recipes" folder delete and files for packs you do not own or have installed. If you do not delete the files for the items not installed you will have issues with your game such as blue boxes in your crafting menus in game.

4. NEW! 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".

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 Addons you don't want to use. SCCO has many different modules for added features. None of these addons are required for SCCO to function but enhance different aspects of the game.

As of SCCO 6.0.0+ you will find the following addons:

Bread Box Storage | Requires Base Game | A functional bread box that allows you to store groceries, buy cookbooks, and more.
Club Interactions | Requires Get Together | Adds a new club activities to "Go Grocery Shopping"
Holiday Traditions | Requires Seasons | Adds new holiday traditions to "Go Grocery Shopping".
Meat Wall For Everyone | Requires Eco Lifestyle | Unlocks the ability to harvest EA/SCCO meat without the career requirement.
Expanded Batuu Menus | Requires Journey to Batuu | Allows you to purchase Single (1), Family (4), and Party (8) serving sizes from the Batuu food market stalls,
Grocery Subscription Service | Requires Base Game | Allows you to order a weekly subscription of various grocery types.
Shopping Objects | Requires Base Game | Gives you 2 wall objects, and 1 floor object that you can use to buy groceries. These were made for players with stores that dont want to use a cash register or other means of selling items.
Harvest Meats from Meat Wall | Requires Eco Lifestyle | Allows you to harvest Pork, Red Meat, White Meat, and Tofu from the vertical meat wall.
Better Ice Cream Stand | Requires High School Years | Adds Cool Kitchen Stuff, and Snowy Escape Ice cream cones and bowls to High School Years ice cream stall.

7. Download any external SCCO compatible downloads you want to play with. You can now download any other creators content that needs SCCO to work or has features that work with SCCO.

Some old items have been removed from SCCO and been made standalone mods. Here is a list of those items:

Srsly's Custom Recipes (version 1.6.0 or higher)
Srsly Good Eats Take-Out Delivery
Harvestable: Seaweed
Harvestable: Lettuce
My Pet Snail
The Juice-O-Matic Juicer

You can find more creations on SrslySims.net !

7. 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.
