Ciao, Dia Dhaoibh, Hola, Hej Hej, Moikka, Привіт, Sveiki, Merhaba, Hello and Sul Sul, Simmers!

In just a few days we’ll be turning up the heat and getting cooking with the release of The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack. There are some fresh Base Game updates and bug fixes rolling out to make the experience even better. Get hungry!

-The Sims 4 Team

What’s New?
Today’s update has a variety of improvements across different features in the game.

The Recipe UI has received a well deserved update, bringing filtering to your fingertips. Now you can filter recipes by: “All, vegetarian, lactose free, meat, seafood, and sweets!”

Sims 4 Patch Cooking menu
Let them eat (cup)cakes!
Speaking of sweets… this update includes freeing the sweetest treat, cupcakes! Your Sims can now prepare delicious cupcakes by using an oven, in addition to the traditional method of using the Whipped Dream Cupcake Factory. Plus, Toddlers can now experience the joy of eating a delicious cupcake.

The Sims 4 Update - Cupcakes Preview
We’ve delved deep into cooking, recipes, and ingredients. Expect to see the quality of food that’s prepared better reflect your Sim’s skill level, current mood, and appliance quality. Additionally, recipes across the Cooking, Gourmet Cooking, and Baking skills have been updated to better utilize more of the expected ingredients of the food that’s being prepared. One example of these updates: Players who own both Cottage Living and Get To Work can use the sugar, flour, and egg ingredients from the former with the baking recipes from the latter.

This Sims 4 Update doesn’t stop here. We gave the Cool Kitchen Stuff Pack some love too! I scream, you scream, now Child Sims can scream for Ice Cream! Child Sims can now use the Sweet Tooth Ice Cream Machine.

One last update we’d like to tell you about relates to the Small Appliances in game. We’ve added the ability for many different small appliances to be dragged around within the game world while in Live Mode, as well as being able to place small appliances into your Sim’s inventory to take them with you on your travels. Find the full list of compatible appliances below:

The Wavescatter
The Food Annihilator
The Omniwaver
The Schmapple Micro
Luxe Drink Tray
Sugar Kane Popcorn Popper
Summer Drink Tray
Sweet Tooth Ice Cream Machine
Fountain of Mirth
The Gravy Fountain Mark IV Stand
Vintage Glamour Beverage Fountain
Blazin’ Ladles’ Over The Counter Oven
“No Space” Electric Oven Space Saver
The Sims 4 Update Fixes
Garden plants now should remain as plants instead of sometimes crumbling into piles of dirt. Be strong and live your best life, garden buds!
Visual effects for Sim Traits in Create a Sim have returned from an unplanned summer holiday.
Some text was updated to properly gush about Newborns.
Take a big whiff, we’re growing trash! Trash Fruit will now properly grow from any pile of trash outside, no matter its source.
It was getting a little lonely out there! Sims will once again receive calls and invitations from other Sims and NPCs.
City Living
We all were very hungry working on this update. But not so hungry that vegetarians would eat meat! Your Vegetarian Sims should no longer grab meals that upset their stomachs when using the “Get Leftovers” interaction.
Gelatin Rainbow Cake isn’t Vegetarian?! We’ve updated a lot of recipes that weren’t properly flagged as Vegetarian-Safe – and some that shouldn’t have been flagged in the first place.
Seasons
Bees will no longer become Enraged or Irritated after applying Mite Treatment. They will BEE a little more grateful to their caretaker Sim!
Eco Lifestyle
Photographs taken following today’s patch will no longer turn black when stored in the Storage Box.
Cottage Living
Some vegetables weren’t being recognized as vegetables for recipe ingredients! We’ve fixed this; make as many vegetable based dishes as your heart desires!
Now your Sims can make more informed choices on if they want to suffer the consequences of eating dairy when they are Lactose Intolerant. We’ve done a large update to food for a more accurate Lactose Free experience.
High School Years
Set your boundaries! There should be fewer invitations to become BFF with other Sims.
Growing Together
Photographs taken following today’s patch will no longer turn black when stored in the Basic Keepsake Box and the Truly Ornate Keepsake Box.
Horse Ranch
Ranch Hands now stay hired until you dismiss them.
Riders going from using Horse Barrels or Horse Jumps to doing something on foot no longer sometimes linger on horseback.
Movie Hangout
When using the Sugar Kane Popcorn Popper, Sims will now have visibility into what Cooking skill level they must reach to be able to prepare the various popcorn recipes.

Overall, I think that I like this update, but I do want to point out a few things as well. Vegetarians are not the same thing as vegans (which means they can eat animal products such as honey, dairy, possibly gelatin used to make stuff like jell-o and gummies for example, and etc...) and kids having a sweet tooth from Cool Kitchen stuff packs means they might also be more likely to be fat as well when aging up to teen, because otherwise they might have a negative moodlet perhaps if you do not give them what they want. So Cool Kitchen is apparently getting a pack refresh similar to Spa Day if I am not mistaken. Also, something else to keep in mind as well and that is the lactose intolerant trait which even children can have this trait from Cottage Living.

Did you even read any part of my comment? I specifically mentioned that I think Cool Kitchen (although, I am not sure if I like this refresh or not especially with it potentially conflicting with lactose intolerant trait for child sims) is getting a pack refresh from this update similar to Spa Day from much earlier that took place years ago. What if other packs get a pack refresh eventually as well and not only just those two packs? Probably most packs will never get a refresh, but perhaps some might eventually and especially the older packs. I do understand however as to why some people might think that this new stuff pack has too many similarities to Cool Kitchen and Dine Out.

my comment WAS NOT a reply for you, just a comment for the main message.
they "refreshed" the old packs WHILE they will release tomorrow a new stuff pack witch is pretty much a rebooted version of cool kitchen stuff. as i said paid DLC simulator is becoming number one in cash grabbing position of all time gaming.
