New Ingredient Requirements – All ingredients are optional unless you are using the Cottage Living “Simple Living Lot Challenge” which forces all recipes to require ingredients to craft.
With SCCO all EA recipes relating to food and drink have been overhauled. It is recommended to use all of the ingredients included if using that lot challenge, or find compatible ingredients by other creators. But note if you use the “Simple Living Lot Challenge” that came with Cottage Living you will be unable to fill the recipe requirement. If there are ingredients you do not wish to use in your game that is included with the mod, you can remove them. You can find a full list of SCCO ingredients HERE. Some single ingredients can be eaten directly without using them in a recipe… but be careful… some ingredients might make your sim sick if eaten raw! If there is no fridge available on the lot then they will go into the sims inventory that opened them. When you open a packaged ingredient all singles will be placed in the fridge automatically. Package – Packaged item, opens to give Singles.
There are 2 types of ingredients in SCCO: These items can be used to craft cooking recipes. SCCO adds a variety of new ingredients to the game that you can craft at home with cooking or buy while grocery shopping.
