Baking Skill
Baking is a 10 level skill, and is primarily gained by sims making baked goods under the new “Bake…” pie menu option on refrigerators, or from reading baking skill books found at the bookstore.
There is also a new baking skill class available at the Bistro rabbithole for §400.
Similar to the cooking skill, the higher a sim’s baking skill level, the more recipes they will unlock, the more sophisticated their preparation animations will be, and the less likely they are to burn what they’re baking.
Sims with the Natural Cook trait will learn the baking skill faster, create higher quality baked goods more often, and won’t burn any food they bake.
Sims with the Born to Cook lifetime reward will have the quality of their baked goods increased by one level.
Child sims who use the toy oven will get a boost in the baking skill when they age into teens.
For players who use ani’s No Fridge Shopping mod, set the kNoFridgeShopping value in the XML file to “True” to require ingredients before a sim can bake a recipe.
Selling Baked Goods
Baked goods can be sold at three different places: a local bakery, the grocery store, and the bistro. Their base price is determined by their Venue Value, as listed in their recipe xml file.
At Level 3 of the baking skill, sims can sell their baked goods using the “Sell to Local Bakery” interaction on a full group serving of a baked good that is Normal quality or better.
At Level 5 of the baking skill, sims can sell their baked goods in bulk using the “Sell Baked Goods” interaction at the Grocery Store rabbithole with at least one full group serving of a baked good that is Nice quality or better. Baked goods sold here can sell for 20% more than selling to a local bakery.
At Level 8 of the baking skill, sims can sell their baked goods in bulk using the “Sell Baked Goods” interaction at the Bistro rabbithole with at least one full group serving of a baked good that is Excellent quality or better. Baked goods sold here can sell for 50% more than selling to a local bakery.
The quality of the baked goods and the skill level of the sim who baked it will increase how much the baked goods can be sold for.
If your sim has the Born Salesperson trait or the Suave Seller lifetime reward, they will make an additional 20% on any baked goods they sell.
If your sim is a Level 1 celebrity or higher, they will gain celebrity points from selling their baked goods.
Custom Recipes
There are 50 custom recipes converted from The Sims 4 and custom content creators including ONI, TianaSims, Littlbowbub, and oduvnix-ts4.
You’ll be able to choose which recipes you want and which ones you don’t.
Five desserts from The Sims 3 have also been given baking skill equivalents: Cookies, Pumpkin Pie (requires The Sims 3: Seasons), Cobbler, Key Lime Pie, and Baked Angel Food Cake.
All of these recipes are split into the following categories: Cakes, Cobblers, Cookies, Cupcakes, Gourmet, Pastries, Pies, Savory, and Other Baked Goods.
A full list of the included recipes can be found on the mod download page under the header “Custom Recipes.”
Baker’s Station Add-on
If you have the Baker’s Station installed, 30 additional recipes from that premium store content will be available to bake, with tweaked ingredient requirements and adjusted skill levels.
If you don't have the Baker's Station installed, you can delete the Baker's Station Add-on file from the mod folder.
A full list of the included recipes can be found on the mod download page under the header “Baker’s Station Add-on.”
Cookies Texture Override
I’ve also created an override for the textures on the four cookie recipes that come with the Baker’s Station using the cookie textures from The Sims 4: Get To Work.
The file is named “twinsimming_Baking_Mod [Cookies Override]” and should be placed in your Overrides folder.
New Ingredients
All of the new ingredients can be purchased from the grocery store for the following prices:
*Butter (§5) - Can also be made using my Pasteurize Milk Mod.
Chocolate (§5)
Dough (§5)
Flour (§7)
Sugar (§7)
**Whole Milk (§11)
*Note: If you have my Breakfast At Twinsimming's recipes or Pasteurize Milk Mod installed, you can delete the Butter package inside the “Ingredients” folder.
**Note: If you have my Pasteurize Milk Mod installed, Pasteurized Milk and Pasteurized Soy Milk can both be used in place of Whole Milk.
Shoutout to @nectar-cellar for the milk carton, @ccbybudgie for the flour and sugar bags, and @aroundthesims for the chocolate bar!
Creating Custom Baked Goods
For recipe creators, you can add your own recipes to the mod by using one of the following prefixes at the beginning of your <Recipe Key>, <Recipe Class>, and cooking process entries, depending on what category you want the recipe to show up under:
"TBMBakeCake"
"TBMBakeCobbler"
"TBMBakeCookie"
"TBMBakeCupcake"
"TBMBakeGourmet"
"TBMBakePastry"
"TBMBakePie"
"TBMBakeSavory"
"TBMBakeOther"
Tuning
All of the tunable values can be found on the mod download page under the header “Tuning.”

Conflicts & Known Issues
This is a new script mod so there shouldn’t be any conflicts.
Uninstallation
Just as with other custom skills, removing the baking skill may cause issues in saves where the skill has been used.
I have created a new cheat called “uninstallBakingMod” to remove the baking skill from any sims in the world and cancel all baking interactions that may be active, but use this mod with caution.
Poly Counts
All of the meshes converted are 1k poly or less!

Cache files within The Sims 3 folder are temporary files created by the game. They help the game load faster. Over the time, a pile-up of these files can create slower game-starting times, to even lag. In this post, we will go through each folder and show you which files are safe to remove. If you want to learn what your The Sims 3 folder contains, please refer to our guide [here].
As an advice to lessen the lag and prevent corruption, we recommend clearing these files after each gameplay. They're regenerated every time the Launcher is running, so deleting them is safe, and them reappearing is also normal.
DCBackup - This folder contains the much necessary CCMerged file. After installing new content to your game, you'll often find files with long names full of numbers within that folder. It is safe to remove all of those files except CCMerged file.
DCCache - This folder contains all of your custom content divided into several .dbc files. You should only clear missingdeps.idx file, and any file ending in .tmp.
Downloads - Downloads will contain all Sims3Packs you installed. We advise copying these packs in another folder or an external device, should you want to re-install them again later. After that, it is fully safe to remove all files in it. Files named nav.bin and FSIViewCountTracking will regenerate the next time game is opened.
FeaturedItems - This is a folder generating photos and thumbnails of store content. It is fine to delete the entire folder, and files within it.
RecordedVideos + Screenshots - Both folders contain media captured by the player. Personal advice is copying the files from both of the folders into another folder or external drive. And then removing the contents from these folders.
WorldCache - FOR WINDOWS USERS ONLY - It is safe to remove this entire folder. Mac users SHOULD NOT be touching this file. Explanation why.
After folders, it is safe to delete the following files:
CasPartCache.package - CAS parts that appear in Create-A-Sim.
compositorCache.package - New objects that appear in Buy/Build mode.
This is a GEOM slider that makes thinner only the inner part of upper eyelid. Works for TMF - EMF.
⸸ Hand size slider slider by Sage at s3sage ⸸
[...] · ♂️Male & ♀️Female
Known issues: hands may shake and some animations may look weird if you make them too small/big
Nose section => General
⸸ Ear Hight Slider by Sage at s3sage ⸸
[...] · ♂️Male & ♀️Female
I have tried many different ways to make it possible, but earrings can be moved only with some unwanted head shape deformations. So I didn't touch the face. And glasses too by the way.(bacause I'm lazy, it's not necessary and S-club already has sliders for that) All ages and genders.
⸸ Upper Lip Shape slider by Sage at s3sage ⸸
[...] · ♂️Male & ♀️Female
It is available for both genders from CU to AFM.
My game version is 1.42, but it doesn't change anything. I didn't use custom sliders for lips except mine to make these pictures.

Medieval Road Default Replacement Textures for Sims 3
These are default replacement road textures from Midnight Hollow, Dragon Valley and Monte Vista, so you can replace the roads in an existing world with something that looks a bit more medieval. Only use one at a time in your game.
