🚨 version 14.01 is now the latest version - please delete the old version! Be sure to check version when new foods are released 🚨

Please note - this update includes some of the progress I have made with making the cookbook compatible with the new lot trait. Recipes that have ingredients will now be locked with the lot trait if your sim does not have all the ingredients. This is not the final stage! I have yet to update each recipe with the new ingredients. 

You can monitor the progress of the recipes here.

If you have any issues with any other foods please use
📠 discord to report and for help.

Added translations:

- - -

  • support for toddler food (found under snacks) - please have highchair on lot.
  • option to name the cookbook and add a description
  • BBQ category
  • available to place into sim inventory - can be given as a gift (seasons)
  • 'snacks' section to combine drinks and quick meals (now referred to as snacks)


⭐ How to install and play: ⭐

  • download the newest package file and place into your mods folder 
  • download the recipes (separately) you would like and place these into your mods folder

    I organise mine like this

TheSims4/Mods/GranniesCookbook(folder) - place download in here.
I then have different folders for each recipe style inside the cookbook folder
eg.

  • meals
  • desserts
  • breakfast/grill
  • toddler food
  • snacks

 (grannie prefers her own folder to keep things tidy! plus it's easier to navigate) 

In Game:

  • you can find Grannies Old Cookbook in the small appliances section in the kitchen 
  • place the cookbook anywhere on your lot (I find the kitchen to be most suited) 
  • click to bring up the pie menu and have your sim cook 🍽️

Works best if you have 2 empty counters (or sims can have routing issues)

🌈 Swatches: 

🔺 Previous versions are available in case there is ever an issue with an update - the newest version is stated at the top of the page. Only have 1 installed. 🔺

🧵 Added the strings so you can add your translations and then send them to me - if you're still waiting for me to add a translation just give me a nudge. It could have gotten buried in my messages! 🧵

Bonjour Merci pour cette mise a jour rapide

Charmbird

I was on Srsly's Pareon & saw this item. Thought I'd try it out. Looks cool! Thanks for sharing.

Jessica M

Thankyou!!!😍

I can't believe I just found this!! I've been wanting new recipes in my game for a long time and I love that they come in a personalized cookbook. Thanks for making this :)

Uhm hey idk what im doing wrong but everytime i download it i can just do the snacks and the cold drinks but the meals and desserts are not showing up.. can u please tell me what im doing wrong? ty uwu

littlbowbub

Is the grannies recipes section showing up on the pie menu? If yes, Does your sim have a high enough cooking skill? And have you downloaded the other recipes?

Sarah E

Do you have a Discord channel to keep up with updates?

littlbowbub

I don't right now.. i'm thinking of setting one up but I don't really use discord much.. it's best to contact me through tumblr or message me here on patreon

littlbowbub

Hi, thanks for finding out the conflict.. I will see if there is anything I can do on my end to make them compatible..

Candyman Gaming

Hi! When will you update the mod on ModTheSims with the new recipes? Thanks :)

Sarah E

Thank you! Could/should we use this version if we haven't updated/patched the game yet? I'm still waiting to patch until a few other mods are updated.

littlbowbub

I'm not sure if it will work correctly (I can't see why it wouldn't) but with me making some edits to the package using a newer version of s4s it might have made it incompatible with older game versions.

Anonymous

With this version, you have to manually put the recipes in? they don't come already in there? What does the cooking skill level need to be?

littlbowbub

Hi, yes you need to download the recipes separately. The cooking skill level varies for each recipe but most say in the description.

Anonymous

Thanks for replying! Yeah, I figured it out. The video that I saw about it didn't explain that.

Nightingale21

Thank you so much for this!

Evangelina Silvercloud

Thank you very much for the update ;) Well, I have a question: Since the beginning I find it so annoying that if a sim cook tea or coffee (more potions) can't invite other sims to drink like they do it with meals. Can you maybe create a little mod for this? I don't want to stress you and I don't have any experience with creating mods but maybe it's possible? Best regards from Austria and sorry for my poor English ;)

Yolanda Zanie

Can someone help me with the medieval cookbook for some reason it doesn't show anything to extract and im very confused how to get this one in my game. The granny one works just fine

Anonymous

I really need the old link I have legacy version and the food will not pull up for me to cook I just updated it today due to the new content you upload but now my cookbook not letting me cook please help I love your mod 😫

littlbowbub

I don’t keep the older versions I rewrite over them 😞 Do you still have the old version on your computer somewhere? You could try the version available on mod the sims but it’s only compatible for the recipes included in the download..

Anonymous

Where would I find the cookbook in the game

JasmineSims

sorry but the new recipe we must download and do in the folder of granny book or only in my folder mod?

littlbowbub

You can put the recipe in the same folder as the book (or however you have them organised) eg. Mods/GranniesCookbook/Recipes

Tay Simmer

I have the updated book installed, but I cannot see the new recipes I downloaded such as the ox tails, chicken roti, smoothies, etc. But the old recipes are showing just fine.

littlbowbub

Hi, make sure the old one isn't hiding somewhere as the game might be reading the old version still.. try clearing your cache as well :)

Anonymous

Oh my goodness - I just found your page from itsmeTroi's Youtube video on your bubbletea mod, and I am so EXCITED to use this in my game! As a self-professed foodie, you food looks so yummy for my sims. Keep up the great work!!

Evangelina Silvercloud

Thank you very much for the update ;) Stay safe and well. A big friendly hug from Austria

sharon rosen

Hi im not seeing the new recipes, the drinks and the last meal. Cleaned everything out and have the new book?

Anonymous

Hello. Did the other books have an iteractive food display case? When I deleted the old version, the display case I use went away with it.

littlbowbub

Did you check that you don't have an old version hidden somewhere? Try re-downloading the recipes also.. if you send me a message with some more info I can try and help you more :)

littlbowbub

Hi, that's strange.. the book doesn't have a food display case. Are you sure you didn't accidentally delete another file? Maybe the game bugged out and removed it from the lot for some reason.

Diamond Rose

Hi when you send the update on the recipe book. Do we need to replace it in the game that's already on the counter?

Evangelina Silvercloud

Many thanks for the update and all your work! Lovely regards from Austria, stay safe and well

Anonymous

hi! everytime i try to make the oxtail and rice recipe, my sim pulls the packaging out but acts as if she can't make it (waving hand in air like theres no room, etc.) but she makes everything else just fine.

lauren

I'm a new patron! I love your content so much so I felt like supporting you. Keep up the good work Jess xx

Coco Doll

Love this ! Will any more recipes be coming .. like more American dinners ? Or quick meals ? Hotdogs , cheeseburgers, etc

Medeuca

thanks so much!!!!! <3

JasmineSims

hi and thank you for the update .♥ :)

Hi, I can't find the cook book anywhere in the build menu, do I need to remove all the recipes each?

Mendota Kelly

Hello, for some reason the Medieval cookbook has also disappeared in my game. it is where I left in and it use to be there, but now it is gone. Did one of your updates to the new Granny's cookbook affect it. I really like this one for my dirt poor families, nothing like fishhead stew. Never mind it was my fault. I accidently deleted the need "tunings". Thank you for your wonderful mod. I need to update my pledge amount for all your hard work.

littlbowbub

Oh haha oops! Never mind, at least it’s working okay! If there’s ever a problem just let me know :) Thank you so much for being a patron 💜

when i download the cookbook will the recipes be already in the book or will i have to add them ?

littlbowbub

Hi, you will have to download them separately. At the moment the version on MTS is the same, so you could download it from there as a bulk version and then just keep an eye on here around the 22/23 October for the updated version :)

Anonymous

Can you do a zip file with all the recipes you have currently please? I believe I got them all but I feel like I might be missing some.

littlbowbub

Hi, you can find a bulk download of all the recipes over on mod the sims, just make sure to grab the newest cookbook when it's updated this week :)

Alexandra

Your content is amazing. I just anted to say it. Absolutely amazing!!

Wongfoo 2003

Excuse me but what do we find in the snacks section now?

Is grandma's cookbook compatible with the new game update?

Anonymous

I would love to see a grilled chicken sandwich, maybe something similar to Chick-fil-A ❤️

littlbowbub

Hi! I've not experienced any issues in my game, so it should work fine :) Let me know if you have any problems!

Anonymous

oooooo will we be getting some hotwings like wingstop lol im thinking about wingstop

Coco Doll

are all the recipes updated? and where can i find that zip where all the recipes are in it im redoing my mods folder

littlbowbub

Hi, the recipes are still working and didn't need an update :) You can find a bulk download on mod the sims, but make sure to delete that cookbook and get the newest version from here. It may also be missing a few of the newer recipes so you will have to grab those from here too :)

lauren

Hi jess, is everything okay for the newest patch? <3

littlbowbub

Hi, sorry for the slow reply (i've been feeling unwell the past week) everything seems to be working fine in my game after the update! :)

Hey! You only need the newest version! So that is currently that 17.02 package!

Hi, there what mod do I need to install? and which file do I need to install?

Anonymous

Hello, Help, I've downloaded and redownloaded and I get the cookbook but no reciepes

littlbowbub

Hi, this may seem like a silly question but did you download the recipes separately?

Terra

I downloaded toddler recipes, I have a high chair and microwave in game, but toddler option doesn't show up.

littlbowbub

Is your game up to date? And do you have the newest cookbook? There could be another mod conflicting. The option should show up under the snacks section.

Ni

Hi, which one do I download?

littlbowbub

Hi, the newest one is 23.03. It’s likely to change soon so keep an eye out. It’s always displayed at the top of the post which version is the newest. 😊

Anonymous

Do the older recipes (from 2020 and such) still work with the newest cook book 11.04?

littlbowbub

Yes, they should do. If you have any issues just let me know and I'll take a look.

Anonymous

I have downloaded the 11.05 but I can't seem to find any of the new toddler meals like turkey dinner?

littlbowbub

Hi, they are under the snacks section. You need a highchair on the lot for the option to show up.

Anonymous

I have tried to make this work SO MANY different ways....if i make a seperate folder for grannies book my game doesnt find it. so it only works if it is directly in my mods folder and i have 3 folders with the receipies...but the recipies wont show up no matter what I do and I am getting so frustrated because normally I can figure these things out but I seem to have hit a wall and have no explanation why this is not working right. I reaaaaaly want to make this work because it looks SO AMAZING.... please help....yes my game is up to date and I used the 11.5 version.

littlbowbub

Hi, are you by any chance on a mac? I've had mixed responses about the cookbook working.

littlbowbub

I’ve not had any issues with these recipes in my game. Which oven are you using on your lot?

Anonymous

It was my stove but when you redid those two they worked on the stove

littlbowbub

Sorry, I don't quite understand. Do you mean the two recently updated recipes? They were updated before the ea patch. Have you tried replacing the oven you have on your lot?

Lipz85

hello i just wanted to know if some of your mods need to be updated because when i try and use some of you food its grayed out

Sarah

which one do I download?

Anonymous

Hi, I have the same problem. Most of the recipes are not usable because I do'n have an oven. It doesn't matter if I place an CC oven or an original oven. I have version 11.5 of the cookbook.

littlbowbub

You may have another mod conflicting? I’ve had a few reports of similar issues but some have been resolved by removing another mod. As I can’t yet replicate the issue in my game I’m assuming it may be a bug/glitch with ea.

K

Reading the comments, CC ovens do not work that have custom tuning. They will need to be individually updated. Right now, LIttleDica updated some of the ovens. If the oven does not have custom tuning, if you're having issues, you will need to make sure to clean your mods folder. Update your mods, including trait mods, etc. Repair the game. The last thing that you'll want to do is get a new resource.cfg, however don't do this unless it's your last attempt to fix. Hope this helps.

I have found the mod that was causing this problem. Thanks for the advise.

Asia

hi, I just joined your Patreon! loving the cookbook and especially all the recipes! quick question though...will the recipes show up at restaurants?? Would love to serve these delicious dishes to my sims while they dine out!

Anonymous

Hello, I've tired making the pancakes and my sims like stop half way and it won't let me resume it or anything but just to throw it away and my sims skill level is like at 9. I don't know why it does it to only the pancakes ones?

littlbowbub

Do they make it to the stove? If not, it sounds like you are missing the frying pan prop. Just make sure you have the newest cookbook version. (if you already do, delete and redownload just in case something went wrong when downloading!)

Asia

for some reasons, the recipes are not showing anymore...I have everything installed correctly including the most recent update 05.06. everything was showing up at first and now, its only about 3 things for breakfast showing, same for desserts but nothing else including toddler meals!

littlbowbub

Hi, check to make sure you don't have a conflicting mod. If you have dine out gp, you could check to see if the foods show in a custom menu to see whether your game is reading the packages. Does your sim have a high enough cooking skill to show all the foods? Also you will need a high chair for toddler foods to show.

Sharon Swem

My problem was that I had a cc stove. When I replaced it with a game stove it worked fine.

K

Little Dica has updated most of his stoves, if you're still wanting some cc ones. I think that coding got changed when Maxis implemented separated ones now.

Anonymous

Do you know if the new patch with conflict with this mod in regards to group cooking? If so, I might wait til the next update before installing x

littlbowbub

Just to be on the safe side i'm going to say it is likely to need updating along with all the recipes. There is a possibility it will still function but the recipes may not be compatible for group cooking. I will make a post when I find out the damage! x

do we need to download the recipes as well?

littlbowbub

Not right now, I'm in the process of adding the new ingredients to go with the new lot trait. I'll do a bulk download when they're ready 😊

Anonymous

I added the update, but the custom food option doesn't appear when I click on the fridge.

littlbowbub

You click on the book to access the recipes, perhaps you had srslys cooking overhaul installed as well?

Anonymous

Can you put the links to the updates In the good sheets list?

littlbowbub

I will but only after I have updated the recipe, i'll keep the sheet around as it's quite handy in case of any further future updates! 🙂

Anonymous

do I need to download the recipes separately

littlbowbub

Yes, there's a link in the description to most of them but they will all be getting an update soon for the new traits. They still work at the moment though so are safe to play with!

Jeanna Hicks

Can you still use this cookbook if you don't havee the Cottage Living pack? I know that it requires ingredients to cook and I have your newest version of the cookbook but when I try to use a recipe from it, it's grayed out and I can't do anything with it.

littlbowbub

Ingredients aren't required, that's only if the lot trait is activated. Does it say anything when you hover over a greyed out recipe? Sounds like maybe your sim doesn't have access to the stove/fridge.

Anonymous

How do I download all the recipes in one go instead of individually, please?

Anonymous

It keeps on saying that there are no applications to open the mod. I use a Mac, any recs on what I should do?

Anonymous

I've downloaded the new one made sure all the files are extracted and the cookbook won't show up at all I've double checked everything, redownloaded etc it still won't show

K

I think that as of now, you have to download individually.

Aelan Ryland

There are three different versions.. should I just only download 13.08 like it says on the top of the screen?

Prahkeet-Mama P Sims

Thank you! Will each recipe be rereleased as only a paid option before they go public?

littlbowbub

No, any old recipes that are getting updated go straight to public release 🙂

Ive downloaded the most recent book, and all the recipes like i was supposed too, ive been using your mod for awhile.. but when i try to go in and cook something only certain meals are available to me. i cant seem to get them to work, i even went and re-re-Downloaded them, and still nothing.

Oc- chan97

Did the recent update break this mod? After trying to click on the cookbook my screen turned grey and was stuck, so i had to restart the game.

littlbowbub

Hi, no it's working as usual for me. Do you have tool? I've heard it's caused a couple issues after the update. It may not be that but it sounds like you have another mod conflicting.

Shejuana Brown

Have any of the recipes been updated?

littlbowbub

Some of them, it's a slow tedious process.. there is a link at the top of the post 😊

Anonymous

Hi, congrats on your new addition! ^.^ i was hoping you could tell me which version is the most recent. Updating my mods after a small hiatus and wanna make sure, thanks in advance!

Oc- chan97

A question, can i merge your recipe package files or would it cause problems?

littlbowbub

Hi, It should be fine as my medieval kit is merged and continues to work okay :)

everyone you have to get the updated one

Can you put the food in one folders plz

I asked that has well but no-reply. it's honestly would be answesome.

Anonymous

Is there any chance we could get a "Download all" option on the reciepes? It would be nice to just be able to download them all into one basket.

Jeanna Hicks

I have a question. Do we have to have the lot trait in order to use the recipies? I had not planned on using that trait so I wouldn't have to have the ingredients and I also don't use the cooking overhaul. So I'm confused about whether or not I can use this mod now. I hope so because I love it.

littlbowbub

Hi, you don’t have to use the lot trait 😊 the top part where I mention the lot trait basically means that I haven’t updated each recipe to include the ingredients for the trait, but they all still work fine!

Do i have to download all recipes and add them to my folder? Or do they come with the package file
