Srsly's Complete Cooking Overhaul

SCCO is a large-scale cooking mod for The Sims 4 designed to make cooking feel more realistic, organized, and immersive. Instead of simply clicking “Cook” and magically producing food, your Sims must gather the right ingredients, shop for groceries, and manage their kitchen more thoughtfully.

Main Features

Grocery Shopping
Your Sims can now shop for groceries through the fridge, stove, computer, or special market stalls. Ingredients include packaged goods, spices, condiments, flowers, and more.

New Ingredients
The mod introduces a variety of new base game–compatible ingredients such as oils, herbs, vanilla, and other essentials. Many recipes now require them. Packaged ingredients have to be opened before use, adding extra realism.

Recipe Overhaul
All existing EA recipes are reworked. Serving sizes are standardized (small, medium, large), desserts are moved to the Baking category, and the required skill levels make more sense.

Ingredient Tagging System
Recipes don’t just accept one specific item — instead, they use “ingredient tags.” This means that both EA ingredients and custom harvestables from other creators can fulfill recipe requirements, making it highly compatible.

Market Stall & Displays
The pack includes a functional market stall where Sims can buy food items, plus decorative shelving and displays designed to fit with the grocery-shopping system.

Modularity
It’s modular — you can install only the parts you want, whether that’s new ingredients, market features, or recipe overhauls.


Gameplay Impact
  • Cooking becomes more challenging and engaging, since your Sims need to plan meals based on what they’ve bought.
  • Inventory management plays a bigger role — if you run out of spices or oils, you’ll need to shop before cooking.
  • The overhaul makes careers like Chef feel more realistic and meaningful.
  • Performance impact is minimal, though large households with lots of ingredients can sometimes feel more demanding.

Community Feedback
Players who enjoy realism often call this mod essential. Some note it requires extra organization (like tracking your groceries), but many find that part of the charm. Occasional bugs happen if recipe add-ons are outdated, but the creator is known for keeping it up to date.
