More Off-The-Grid Recipe Options

Florisbelina’s “More Off-The-Grid Recipe Options” is a gameplay enhancement mod for The Sims 4 that expands the cooking options available to Sims living off-the-grid. In the base game, when using the Off-The-Grid lot challenge, the available recipes are very limited, making survival and variety in meals difficult. This mod solves that.

What the Mod Does
  • Adds more recipes to be cooked without power or water, making the off-the-grid lifestyle more realistic and enjoyable.
  • Includes Base Game recipes and often recipes from DLC (if installed), reclassified so they don’t require a stove with electricity.

Key Features

Expanded Meal Options:
  • Breakfast, lunch, and dinner items that normally require power can now be prepared off-the-grid.
  • Includes snacks, simple meals, and sometimes desserts.

Supports Multiple Cooking Methods:
  • Stoves marked as functional off-the-grid
  • Fireplaces and grills
  • Campfire cooking options

Ingredient-Based System:
Some recipes may still require ingredients (vegetables, fish, harvestables) for realism.

No Electricity Requirement:
Recipes don’t require powered stoves or fridges when lot challenge is active.

Gameplay Impact
  • Makes the Off-The-Grid lot challenge less restrictive but still immersive.
  • Great for players doing rags-to-riches or survival storytelling.
  • Allows families to thrive off-the-grid without eating the same handful of meals.

Compatibility
  • Works with Base Game and is often compatible with packs like Island Living, Cottage Living, and others that add rustic cooking methods.
  • Should work fine with custom recipes mods if they’re coded for off-the-grid compatibility.
  • Generally does not conflict with MCCC, Better BuildBuy, or cooking autonomy mods.
