SCCO WIP - Phone Grocery Shopping & More (Patreon)

Srsly's Complete Cooking Overhaul - Release Candidate Version 1.0

Below are the updates that I have been working on for SCCO's next release. I may add a few more additions than the ones listed below. If I do I will make another WIP update. 

I hope to have the patreon pre-release ready for download by the 1st of April. Please stay tuned!

If you have any suggestions, or things you would like to see added/changed please feel free to comment below or message me in the #patreon-suggestion thread in discord! 

Buy Groceries from Phones

I have added a new interaction option on all Child-Elder Sims cell phones. Where you can now "Shop for Groceries" directly from your cell phone. 

This new option is represented by the simoleon icon currently (I may change this icon before release). 

Under this new option, you have all of the same menus as before:

• Buy Cooking Ingredients
• Buy Condiments
• Buy Fish
• Buy Flowers 
• Buy Produce

Buy Groceries from Registers (*Get to Work)

I have redone this code completely. Before you would click on the register and receive an immediate window where you would purchase your groceries. Not any more! 

When you click on any GTW Register your Sim will walk over to it, chat for a moment (You could put another Sim behind the register to simulate talking to an NPC). Then the window will prompt for you to order your groceries as normal. 

I have also changed the interaction icon for "Shop for Groceries" to a grocery bag. (as pictured below)

I will be adding a shadow around this icon soon so it is a little more visible.

Removed Old Interactions

I have removed the "Shop for Groceries" interactions from all fridges, stoves, and grills, So you will no longer see that interaction on those items.

The only way to purchase ingredients right now directly with SCCO is the phone or GTW register.

 I will be adding the "Shop for Groceries" interaction back into the computer. But instead of having an immediate window pop up, the Sim will sit and browse at the computer for a moment first.  This way you can simulate shopping.  

So in the next version of SCCO you will only shop from:

• Phone
• Cash Register
• Computer

Cake and Pie Changes

In the previous release all recipes had a small (1), medium (4), and large (8) serving. This actually was a little confusing to some, so I decided to remove the small and medium serving sizes from all pies and cakes.

All cakes and pies now have a single option available when baking this way you will only be able to make the WHOLE pie/cake and not just part of it. That way there is no confusion when trying to make a birthday cake to age up your Sims. (as pictured below)

Recipes changed to 1 Serving Size - Multi (8):

• Apple Pie
• Banana Cream Pie
• Black & White Cake
• Blue Confetti Cake
• Carrot Cake
• Chocolate Cake
• Cowplant Essence Meringue Pie
• Exotic Fruit Pie
• Fruit Pie
• Hamburger Cake
• Honey Cake
• Lemon Meringue Pie
• SimCity Cheesecake
• Strawberry Cake
• Sugar-free Carob Coconut Cake
• Sweet Potato Pie
• Tiered Cake "Wedding"
• Tiramisu
• White & Black Cake
• White Cake
• Winter Cake
• Zombie Cake

Ingredient Buff & Tag Changes

You will no longer get the happy "It's Just Okay" harvestable buff when you eat one of the new cooking ingredients.

Instead you will get a new inspired buff alongside the ingredients normal buff.

I also removed the tags for "Vegetable" from all the new cooking ingredients. So bread and meats will no longer count as a vegetable in the "Any Vegetable" ingredient option while cooking.
