Welcome to the Future of SCCO

Today I am happy to announce that this is the first released update for the SCCO rework. We're going modular! You will be able to pick and choose what parts of SCCO you want to use. 

Those new to SCCO, I will be working for the next few months to re-work and re-touch all older features of the mod. This is to not only update content for new things I have learned but to add more functionality to some older features. 

With this rework my goal is to make the mod more user specific so that you can enjoy it however you want and to allow more mod compatibility with more creators in the community! 

You can read about all of the changes in todays update for version 5.0.0 on the public changelog linked at the top of this page. The rest of this page will go over all download and important info you need to know. 

--------------------------------------------

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT UPDATE

Be sure that you read the new install guide on this page carefully as some install instructions have changed.

If you have any questions about how to install, or where features have moved in the mod setup folder please come by Discord for assistance. 

--------------------------------------------

How to Install the new SCCO Rework & New Info

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 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

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

• Srsly's Custom Recipes 
• Srsly Good Eats Take-Out Delivery 
• Harvestable: Seaweed 
• Harvestable: Lettuce
