Homebaked Bread Mod

Overview


I like bread. I want my Sims to be able to make bread without needing multiple ovens, but also have to knead dough in the process. So I made this mod - a new “Bake Bread…” interaction that allows you to bake bread recipes using the Baker’s Station kneading animations, but done so on a counter, and then cooked in a regular oven. linklink This mod is a pure script mod that adds the new interaction to fridges, and includes 4 bread recipes that can be cooked in this way: - Homebaked Sourdough - Homebaked Rye - Homebaked Baguette - Homebaked Challah All have ingredients Egg and Flour from Echoweavers wheat and flour mod if you have it. The first 3 are cloned versions of the Baker’s Station’s breads (they don’t affect the original ones), made to be compatible with this mod. The challah is a cloned version of my challah recipe converted from TS4, made compatible with this mod (also does not affect the original, see below if you don’t have the Challah & Matzo Ball Soup Mod). link There are some technicalities about these recipes that make things work a bit differently to normal, see below for that, as well as information on making Homebaked-Bread-Compatible recipes.

Requirements:


Requires CC Loader. Requires the Baker’s Station item from the store, for both the kneading animations as well as the bread recipe models. But it won’t crash the game without it ;)

Notes on these recipes:


  • For these recipes to only show up under the mod’s interaction, they are not “Learnable” recipes. So they work similar to the store recipes in that they can’t be learnt from a recipe book, they don’t count towards a Sim’s learnt recipes, and I think a few other small things which I’m not sure of. Shouldn’t be a big deal but I just wanted to mention that.
  • Specifically for the Challah, my original version of the recipe has a level 2 recipe book. You can have both the original and the HB recipe installed as they are technically separate recipes, but the regular version (under the EA cooking interaction) will use the original cooking process and require the recipe book, whereas the HB version will just require skill level 2 and will use the kneading animations. If you don’t have the original challah mod installed, you’ll need the challahFiles package as well.
  • The cooking process looks the same for all HB recipes - Sims get the dough from the fridge, knead it on a counter, put it in a baking dish, and cook it in the oven. The only difference are the raw/cooked models used in the baking dish.

Adding new Homebaked Bread recipes:


  • Mostly the same as making regular custom recipes, just with a few extra steps to make it an HB recipe.
  • Make your recipe as normal with CC Loader (alternatively add your recipe to the recipes XML included in this mod)
  • The Recipe_Key must include “HBBread”
  • Learnable set to False
  • Must have a custom cooking process which Recipe_Class refers to
  • For the cooking process, I suggest using one of mine as a base as there are only a couple of things that need changing then:The line Models contains the only things that can be customised for the cooking process - the raw dough model in the baking tray, the cooked bread in the baking tray, and the burnt bread in the baking tray. The easiest thing is to have the first as the dough (WOFridgeDough), and the second and third as the recipe’s serving model with the default and burnt material states. But if you want to have extra models, you can of course.

Even more notes:


  • For NoFridgeShopping simmers, there’s a tuning value in the zoeoe_BakeBreadMod_Tuning XML to turn on NoFridgeShopping. As you might expect, with this set to True, Sims will require the ingredients to bake the breads, and they will be greyed out without them. You can either change this with S3PE or NRaas Retuner under Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.zoeoe.BakeBreadMod.Main.
  • Fun fact: yet another mistake in EA’s Baker’s Station recipe data - the sourdough and rye breads have the same textures (both use rye ones) because they didn’t set the material state name for the sourdough bread. My HB versions use the right textures, but if you want to fix the BS ones, just change the “breadRoundRye” to “breadRoundSourdough” where the sourdough single and group models are defined in the CCMerged RMLS resource.

Hope you enjoy, my fellow lovers of bread <3
