The Update

Todays update was to fix the big issues that occurred after the release of the "Home Chef Hustle" stuff pack. With the addition to this pack, EA has COMPLETELY changed how ingredients for crafting recipes are handled. Because of this, a lot of changes have had to been made and will also be made in the next update of the mod. 

New Home Chef Hustle Features

This update allows you to once again use custom ingredients for recipes, the ingredient requirements will now show for all EA recipes.

To use the new prepped ingredients, you will need to make sure both the "Fresh" and "Prepped" ingredient checkboxes are ENABLED. If you only check the "Prepped" box at this time, recipes will NOT have ingredients. 

This will be addressed in the next update. As all EA recipes and SCCO additional serving sizes have had to be remade from scratch. For now, all old version of the recipes are included in the download. 

Custom Ingredient Tags Work Again! 

Thanks to Lot51 and Carl we were able to get custom enum tags to work again for crafting recipes! With the new changes to "Fresh" vs "prepped" ingredients these completely stopped working. This required a new script to be made, as well as new XML needed for recipes.

Note to Creators Using Custom Tags:

I am working on a tutorial to explain what you need to do for your recipes that use custom ingredient tags to work again with SCCO/SCCOR. If you would like this information now, please DM me on Discord and I will be able to fwd you the information until I can get the tutorial posted. This process has been made very simple, so it should not take long at all to get updates rolled out.

How to Install the new SCCO Rework & New Info

If this is your first time using SCCO Read Over the details of the mod and its features on my website.

1. 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 5.0.0 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.
• Chip Displays | Requires Base Game | Functional displays with little bags of chips that allow you to purchase them. (Requires Chips SCCO Ingredient)
• Cowplant Milking | Requires Base Game | Allows you to gather SCCO plant milk from Cowplants!

• 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".
• Harvest SCCO Meats | Requires Eco Lifestyle | Allows you to harvest SCCO Red Meat, Pork, and Poultry from the Meat Wall.
• 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,
• The Drink Machine | Requires Base Game | A functional drink machine that allows you to get various drinks for a price.

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.
