Hey there, Simmers! Are you ready to spice things up in The Sims 4? Well, get your aprons on because the Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack is just around the corner, bringing with it a delicious feast of new features and updates. But that’s not all – we’ve also cooked up some fresh improvements to enhance your overall gameplay experience. So, prepare your taste buds and let’s dive right in!
A Tasty Recipe Update
First things first, let’s talk about the Recipe UI. We’ve given it a well-deserved makeover, making it easier than ever to find exactly what you’re craving. With the new filtering options, you can now browse recipes by categories such as “vegetarian,” “lactose-free,” “meat,” “seafood,” and of course, “sweets!” It’s like having your very own digital cookbook at your fingertips.
Cupcakes Galore!
Now, onto the sweet stuff. We’ve got something special for all the dessert lovers out there – cupcakes! Your Sims can now whip up a batch of delicious cupcakes using either the oven or the trusty Whipped Dream Cupcake Factory. And guess what? Even toddlers can join in on the sugary goodness and indulge in a mouthwatering cupcake. Yum!
Cooking Revamped
We’ve taken a deep dive into the world of cooking, recipes, and ingredients to bring you a more realistic culinary experience. Now, your Sim’s skill level, mood, and even the quality of their appliances will affect the quality of the food they prepare. Expect mouthwatering dishes that truly reflect your Sim’s expertise in the kitchen. But that’s not all – we’ve also updated recipes across the Cooking, Gourmet Cooking, and Baking skills to incorporate a wider variety of ingredients. For example, if you own both the Cottage Living and Get To Work expansions, you can now combine the sugar, flour, and egg ingredients from Cottage Living with the baking recipes from Get To Work. Talk about versatility!
Cool Kitchen Stuff Pack Loving
We haven’t forgotten about the Cool Kitchen Stuff Pack either! In this update, we’re giving Child Sims a reason to scream – for ice cream! That’s right, your little ones can now use the Sweet Tooth Ice Cream Machine to whip up their favorite frozen treats. It’s the perfect way to beat the summer heat or simply satisfy a sweet tooth.
Small Appliances on the Move
Last but not least, we’ve added a nifty new feature for all the small appliance enthusiasts out there. Now, you can easily move around your favorite small appliances within the game world while in Live Mode. Want to take your trusty Wavescatter or Sugar Kane Popcorn Popper on a trip? No problem! Just place them in your Sim’s inventory, and they’ll be ready to go wherever your adventures take you. Here’s a list of all the compatible appliances:
- The Wavescatter
