The Update

Todays update was just mostly some fixes of existing minor issues. I have been trying to work out all the kinks in the mod before the big 6.0.0 update. You can check out the changelog listed at the top of this post to see what all exactly has changed with this update.

New Cheat

One of the new features of todays update was to add a cheat code where you can check the version number of SCCO in game. So if you are ever unsure of what version you are running you will now be able to use this cheat to check.

In game, open up the cheat console with CTRL+Shift+C

Then type in the command box: SCCO
You will then be prompted with the Version Number.

EA Adjustments - Final

As most of you know that have used SCCO for a while my "EA Adjustments" mod is required to use with SCCO. I have updated the EA Adjustments mod, and attached it here with the SCCO download. Please delete any previous versions of EA Adjustments you have installed prior.

DO NOT OVERRRIDE FILES, totally delete them and re-download these new ones.

Those new to my mod, EA Adjustments is all overrides of EA ingredients to make sure they function correctly, fix EA bugs, etc.
The EA Adjustments mod page will be updated once this post goes public. Until then the only way to get the latest SCCO + EA Adjustments is this post.

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!
• Grocery Savings Personal Banks | Requires Base Game | Functional storage chests that have interactions to store/take funds. These function like personal piggy banks in real life.
• Seed Packet Display | Requires Base Game | A functional display that allows you to purchase all EA and Custom Seeds. Special thanks to Menaceman44 for the edited Sims 2 mesh conversion.
• 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.

A list of compatible creators as of this update are:
SrslySims | KingZace | IceMunMun | Oni | Robin | LittlBowBub | Rex | Amellce | AroundTheSims4
