Decorative Food Clutter made into Functional Ingredients
Like many people, I love stocking up my grocery stores with various food items to make them a little more interesting and realistic. However, having lots of decorative food cluttering up your sim’s kitchen after they’ve been on a shopping spree can get a bit much. This mod turns awesome food clutter items made by various creators into functional ingredients, which means they can be used to stock the fridge to give fresh food points, like harvestables do.
I was only able to make this mod thanks to @deedee-sims‘s amazing tutorial which can be found here. I will happily convert any more food items that anyone requests, as long as any writing on them is in Simlish. If you wish to do this for any products that have writing in English (or any language other than Simlish) I highly suggest you follow DeeDee’s easy-to-follow tutorial as I will have no interest in converting those items.
To use this mod and all the items properly (with all their recolours and other set items), you first need to download as many of the items I have edited as you like, then replace the originals with my new meshes to make them functional.
1. DeeDee’s edits of Linacherie’s and Lemonlion’s food items:
The wonderful DeeDee already made these two fantastic sets functional, but I edited them to make their prices and food points fit in better with the other items I covered. I also made them placeable on quarter-tiles and made them only appear in the catalogue on community lot so your residential catalogue doesn’t get cluttered up and you can’t cheat by buying everything your sim needs to stock their fridge directly from buy mode! If you would like them in your residential catalogue, let me know and I can tell you how to do it in SimPe - it’s super easy! DeeDee gave me permission to edit and share her version!
So, if you would like the items shown in the pictures below, download Linacherie’s (first pic) here and Lemonlion’s (second pic) here first to get all of the recolours, then overwrite the files with mine.
2. Veranka’s Deliciously Indulgent Bakery:
I made some of the food items in Veranka’s 3to2 Deliciously Indulgent Bakery into functional ingredients too. I made all the same edits as described above to all of the sets I have converted. Make sure you download the set here first in order to get the rest of this gorgeous set and any recolours, then overwrite with my files.
3. Pixelry’s Grocery Set:
Whilst this set is mostly objects used to make realistic groceries like shopping carts and baskets, it also included a loaf of bread and box of cereal which I have converted. Grab the set here to get all the wonderful items and recolours, then simply overwrite with my files.
4. BeOSBoxBoy’s Food Items on The Sims Resource:
Lastly, I have also converted the individual food items/sets made by BeOSBoxBoy on The Sims Resource. Browse his TSR uploads here and grab all of the food items you want, then overwrite with my files.
Download: SimFileShare or Patreon (free)
You can use as few or as many files as you like. Each of the 4 sets are organised into subfolders so it’s up to you whether you want all 4 or just a selection. Make sure you let my files overwrite the others, and don’t let any others overwrite mine otherwise they will not be functional.
Feel free to request any other food clutter items you’d like me to convert into functional ingredients. I’d be happy to do more as long as any writing is in Simlish only.
