Occult Recipebook (Patreon)

* 04-03-2024 is the most up to date version *

Updates:

March 4th 2024: 

- icons added for each pie menu
- shadows fixed on book and book made a little smaller
- new swatches added! :)
- recipes updated

This update actually replaces the object, so you will have to buy it again from Build/Buy mode. For translators, please note that the name and description of the cookbook now have a new string hash, but all other strings remain the same.

....Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble....

INTRO

* if you want to skip this, please still make sure to read below about recipes and pack requirements, as there is a lot of pack integration!

Occult gameplay is up there with one of my favourite ways to play. Food is a part of our Sims lives, and should also be for occults so that they can cook up their preferred foods.

This Recipe Grimoire is a collection of custom recipes (food and drink) for Occult Sims in the Sims 4. There are 5 swatches to start with, I'm sure I'll be adding more!

I have started off this occult culinary journey with: ✨SPELLCASTERS✨

I have plans to later create foods for each occult life state, so I will keep adding to the recipe book for mermaids, werewolves, vampires, plantsims and aliens.

“Spellcasters” as a life state can be played in so many different ways: they can range from gnarly evil witches who practice black magic and eat bird entrails, to happy little fairies who live in cottages surrounded by woods and flowers! I have tried to include a little bit of everything in the recipes I have created. These foods are a mix of fairy, fantasy, green garden witch, apothecary, or black-magic sorcerer etc.

They effect Spellcasters and/or human Sims in many weird and wonderful ways.

E.g. Nettle Tea which helps teenagers suffering with acne, Milk Thistle Biscuits which leave the consumer with prickly thistles in their tongue, and Eye of Newt Soup which most Sims will find disgusting but which Spellcasters will happily slurp up.

❗❗I really like cross-pack integration, and so it is important to read the pack recommendations (in bold) for each recipe, just to make sure you don’t have anything missing or not working in your game. ❗❗
