Sims 4 Grocery Mod & Store (Download) 2024 (Updated)

The freedom to choose what we eat, buy and consume is absolutely important. It gives us satisfaction and keeps us happy. Don’t you think the same should apply to our Sims? It’s almost like being a kid again, where you don’t have the choice to buy what you want at the store. You eat and take what your parents give you.

So far, it was the same in Sims 4. You eat and buy whatever the game provides. If you have played the game, you must know that you are to purchase whole meals from the menu and use the ingredients pre-given for cooking. However, that is all to change with the latest grocery mod Sims 4.

Players wanting this freedom for their Sims and wanting the satisfaction shall be happy to know that George from SimsWorkshop has released the Sims 4 Grocery Mod! It looks like someone finally decided to do something about the problem. He missed not having the options and the freedom to choose his ingredients like in the real world. Who wouldn’t?

Thanks to the groceries mod, you can now express your freedom of choice. Choose whatever you want for yourself in the Sim World. Satisfy your need to purchase whatever you wish to cook.

Want to buy herbs? It’s now available. Want to buy flowers? Scent up your Sim’s house quickly now. Want to buy fruits? Well, make apple pie.

Or, if you wish for a fish, purchase it with ease. Whatever you felt was missing is now available. And to make things more satisfying and realistic, this modification provides all ingredients packaged nicely.

George did this to make it more aesthetic and cheaper than buying single ingredients. The Mod has improved the game and has made Sims 4 as immersive as possible.

How do you use the Sims 4 Grocery Mod?

The grocery stores are now locations your Sim can go to physically shop. The grocery store introduced is almost life-like with refrigerators, shelves, drink machines, etc. A washroom is also available in the store to make it as close to real-life as possible. So you can go to the store and purchase any ingredient you wish.

In this Groceries shopping mod, the new “Shop for Groceries” interaction is accessible via:

• Computers
• Refrigerators
• Stoves
• Grills
• Cash Registers

Thanks to the grocery shopping mod, you now have access to many more ingredients. While shopping, the Mod has made it easy to access the ingredients. You can now quickly pick the ingredients directly from the following menus:

• Purchase Produce – Herbs, Veggies, and fruits
• Purchase Flowers 
• Purchase Fish
• Purchase Condiments – As of now, only Honey
• Purchase Cooking Ingredients – New Ingredients

As stated before, the Grocery Mod Sims 4 comes with many new ingredients. You will find most of them to be in packaged form. This makes the game more immersive, according to the developer. Packages are more aesthetically pleasing and help save your Sims some simoleons.

Just like in real life, you don’t buy a single egg or single bacon; you won’t have to do it in The Sims 4, thanks to the Groceries Mod. Each package gives you 4-8 single ingredients once opened.

The list of new ingredients is very vast. However, they will surely spice up your life. Here is the list of all the fresh ingredients you can now cook with to make your Sims life more realistic:

Although some ingredients can be eaten raw, some should not. If your Sim eats raw ingredients, it might make them sick. Hence be careful what you feed your Sim. The safest option would be to cook everything. Now you won’t have to cook the same thing. Therefore you might also enjoy cooking now.

The Sims 4 grocery mod also changes a lot of recipes. It has made cooking extremely interesting. You will require more harvestable and new ingredients available in the grocery shopping mod. Alterations are there in all the base-level recipes. The Mod has made recipe changes to the following :

• Ice Cream Machine (Cool Kitchen Stuff)
• Popcorn Machine (Movie Hangout Stuff)

In the grocery mod Sims 4, all deserts are now categorized under the baking menu. Any items not dessert in baking are now on the cooking menu. Thanks to the grocery mod, all the items that had a change in the category also give skills gained for their new category. So cooking or baking will now increase your skills exp.

Additional Serving Sizes in Groceries Mod

All the recipes now have three serving sizes. The Small, for one person. Medium for approximately four people and Large for approx 8 people. These serving sizes include all types of food, desserts, experimental food, and many others. 

The serving sizes also now have a crafting cost that is set. Crafting cost is the price your Sim has to pay to make that dish. The serving size crafting costs are:

•  §5 for Small serving
• §10 for Medium serving and
• §15 for a Large serving.

Hence you can now make any dish if you have the “Required Ingredients” with just §5-§15 depending on the serving size your Sim wishes to prepare. So more the people, more will be the serving size, and more will be the crafting cost. As simple as that.
