Updated to the recent version there seems to be a strange routing error, didn't had it before
Hello, could you please tell me a bit more about the problem you’re having?
If you want I could translate the recipes into german :)
Hey I just updated my game and It said It couldn't start because of the cookbook mod and the recipes, same thing with the Occult Recipe Book
Hi Laurii, could you kindly let me know how the game is telling you it won't start? Is it via an error message with BE?
Is this compatible with QMBIBI’s STP grocery ingredients?
did u ever find out ?
Hi TianaSims, I love your cookbook so much! I have an issue where when I click "Desserts" on the cookbook, i get a LE, the menu for some reason does not open. None of the other options have that issue.
Hi Leesiee! Do you happen to have the Creme Brulee recipe? This was an issue that was caused by that recipe. Next, was there a particular recipe you added and then you noticed this issue occuring?
hey hun in my game the dessert section brings up a last exception and i cant use them i was wondering if there is a fix or if i need to wait until the next update
Hello Adelissae! Please check if you have the Creme Brûlée recipe installed from a little while ago. This was a problem with that recipe. Did it just start happening, or was there a particular recipe you added and then it started? My understanding from others is that clearing your game cache will really help with issues like this.
Hey, Tiana I was wondering if the cookbook was updated to the right date.
Hello LMB 👋😊 yes it is! Just been a bit busy lately but the Cookbook is dated correctly
Hiya love your mod but just wanted to let you know that some recipes dont show up when having the simple living lot rait on, for exmaple the breakfats cereal. Thanks for your custom recipes though love them 🥰
Hi Zee! Thanks for this helpful tip. Could you please let me know which recipes are missing for you when the SL lot trait is on?
You are on the top list of the best food creators in the whole sims community :) I love these lovely textures
Thank you so much 🥰
i love this mod so much, thank you
Hii, I made an updated Brazilian Portuguese translation https://www.patreon.com/AndyMs/posts/livro-de-135079229?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link
Hi, I may have missed it but are certain recipes not compatible? I keep getting error messages on my better exceptions for a lot of the recipes. I love your cookbook!
Hi Kiana, that’s strange! Sometimes some mods cause conflict with each other, it usually resolves itself or if it doesn’t cause any abnormality in the game it can safely be ignored. What are the error messages saying?
Hi! The option Recipes does not show up when I click on the cookbook in game.
is it compatible with the last patch ?
Sul sul! I was wondering if you'd be willing to make indian cuisine lik butter chicken, dal, etc. i looked throught your recipes, but couldn't find any? it'd mean alot to me.
Hi! Yes I would love to do more Indian cuisine 🥰 Currently I have made a Lentil Dhal and a Goat Curry. Were you able to find those for now?
Can these recipes be added to Dine Out restaurant menus?
Almost all my recipes will also appear in restaurants. Please let me know if there’s any issues or anything missing ❤️
Hey BE has shown a list of recipes that are broken, can I share with you to help fix ?
Yes, send them here. I am very interested. Since I have no problems.
Hi Tiana - your latest cookbook 19-04-2926 is causing a BE in my game. It was all working fine until I updated it.
Hi David! What is the BE message saying? Is it pointing to a particular recipe or issue?
Hi, I think recips nedd an update ❤️
Hi Becky, which recipe are you having trouble with?
After the new update, I can't use your mod. :(
Hey, Tiana, do you think we can get some add ons for/to the cookbook?
Can you maybe add also to xbox so i can use your mod?
Hi Georgia! I don't know that this is possible yet with these types of mods and cc
gibt es auch eine deutsche übersetzung ? Lg
hey, first off, I love your recipes!!, but I am having a problem with poutine recipe, my sims won't grab it out of the fridge. Nothing is blocking her fridge, and she has plenty of counter space
Hi, TianaSims! I love your recipes!!! Will you be updating this for the new patch?
Hi Alake! All is running well with the new patch.
Would it be possible for the items to be merged together rather then downloaded seperately? I remember it was like that before, but its fine if its not!
merging recipes would be a hassle to update if one of them breaks, prob why thats not an option
You already updated this? Wow, thank you! You are amazing! <3
Hey, Happy Holidays! i seem to be having issues with desserts, all the other categories are working but i can click into desserts, could i have a conflict? i have updated but no luck :(
Hi Samwise! Please make sure you don’t have the Creme Brûlée recipe, this caused issues with the dessert menu for people 💕
Hii, is there any possibility that this mod conflict with BrazenLotus mods? Thx love your mods ❤️❤️
Hi! No conflicts that I know of. Basic cookbook mods tend to be compatible along side each other. The tricky ones will be if you have any other overhauls/replacement mods (tend to be more complex mods by Brazen) as they can interfere with other mods.
I didn't update it and sooooooooooooooooo upset cause yr mode my favorite cooking mode- HappyHoliday! <3
Hello! Sorry I didn't understand, is everything okay with the mod and your game? :)
Hey, Tianasims I'm a little confused the latest update is the December 12, 2025 version right, because the download file has December 10th but the post has updated November 10th.
Whoops! Typo 😊
Sadly your cookbook corrupted my whole save file and it cant be recovered anymore 😢
Oh dear! I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s very strange for a cooking mod to do this as it is a very simple mod. Do you know which mod exactly it was that caused it, did you receive an error message? 🙏
hi, after downloading your mod and several recipes, my game no longer opens; the message "Failed to initialize the game, please try again later" appears. If I remove your mods, the game opens normally. Do you know what the problem might be?
it's the new update, all cooking mods need to be updated before trying to open the game. Same thing happened with qmbibi's cooking mod, had to delete it to open my game.
Sorry to bother, but when I try to download todays cookbook update it says *media file not found*.
Oops! There must have been an internet issue when I updated the file. Please try again now?
I cant download the file its not working
Oops! There must have been an internet issue when I updated the file. Please try again now?
the update said no file available for today just wanted to let u know
Oops! There must have been an internet issue when I updated the file. Please try again now?
for today's update it's saying there's no file available
Oops! There must have been an internet issue when I updated the file. Please try again now?
Hello, after the update, I'm getting an error from the Cookbook 18-10-2025.package and the Desserts_G_Crème Brûlées.package.
Hi Tay, please remove the Creme Brulee recipe. I deleted it as people were having issues!
Any updates for the occult cookbook?
Not working for me :< also I can't find hot drinks tin under the "Small Appliances" section~
Hi Uni! Sorry I missed your message 🙏 did you manage to find the Hot Drinks Tin? You can search for it in Build/Buy mode by name 😊
Hey there! I redownloaded the file but dessert menu is still not working :/
Hi Maija! Please remove the Creme Brulee recipe, and let me know if you are still having issues xx
Do you have a bulk download for recipes?
The Milk and Cookies tier has the additional bonus of a bulk recipe download. :)
Hello! I'm having issues with the tropical fruit salad in the breakfast category. My sims can cook it fine but when they try to pick up a bowl, it'll throw an LE & reset the sim. I've tried redownloading the recipe but that didn't help. Thank you for all that you do!
Hi, I'm having a problem with the cookbook. My servo cannot use it haha. All normal sims can, but if I click on it with my servo I don't get the cooking options for it (only Pets, Baking and Canning options are visible). Checked on a different save and its seems to be happening to all servos. It may be just a general TS4 Servo bug (as always smh) but just wanted to let you know.
Hey, Tiana, I'm having trouble with the desserts category, I have the latest version, all the other categories work fine, I'm able to see and click the desserts one but nothing will pop up.
Hi! This was to do with the Creme Brulee recipe. I have just updated it, please re-download (and make sure you get the newest cookbook from today also :)
Hi, idk why but I can not make dessert on my games, meal section and baking section works fine.
Hi! This was to do with the Creme Brulee recipe. I have just updated it, please re-download (and make sure you get the newest cookbook from today also :)
Hi, i can translate the Recipes in german if you need someone for this :)
Hi Linda! It’s always amazing to make these recipes more accessible to the rest of the world - if you have a page where you share translations, let me know and I can include it in the main post. 🤗
Hi, nothing appears when I click on the cook book then click Desserts. Do you know why this may be ? All of the other menus appear, my sims homestyle & gourmet cooking/baking skill is maxed, & I have all of the recipes downloaded.
Hi! Yes this is something to do with the Creme Brûlée recipe. Working on fixing it at present 💕
Does this mean I would also have to re-download the custome recipes as well?
Hi Honey, no you only have to download the recipe files once (unless they have been updated which I usually make an announcement about). The Cookbook file is the main file that gets updated, which you have to regularly re-download. 🥰
Thank you for this mod!
Hi, I have just downloaded the updated version 4/10 but its not showing up in game. It is in my mods folder and it only stopped working once i removed the old version and put this new version in
By me too. even after the creme brulee recipe removed.
hi thank you for the beautiful cc! I was wondering, would you ever consider making like a Tiana sims food tablet/ wall deco ?
Oooh I haven’t ever thought of it. I suppose I’m more of an old fashioned Simmer, but it could be a cute idea!
hi, desserts menu not working.
Hi Linzi! Sorry this is a pesky issue with the Creme Brûlée recipe. I need to figure out what’s wrong with this recipe 🤔
Hey there! I am also having an issue with the desserts menu not appearing. It was giving me an mccc last exception at first, but i re-downloaded the recipes and now I don't get the LE, but there's still no menu. The others work fine. I tried deleting and downloading the cookbook as well to no avail. Any assistance would be great! Thank you :)
Hi E.! This seems to have something to do with the Creme Brulee recipe. I will update it when I get a moment, but for now perhaps remove that recipe and see if you are still having the same issue? :)
Hi! is this mod compatible with the 9/18/25 update?
Hi! I absolutely love your recipes! I am having an issue since downloading the latest cookbook. The desserts menu no longer appears when selected. I reverted back to the last book from 8/21 and took out the newest recipes and it works as normal. I checked compatibility with other mods as well and I was still unable to open the dessert menu.
Hi Jennifer! Sorry to hear this. This is a problem that usually happens when there is a sneaky hidden old Cookbook file in your mods folder. Please try redownloading the newest version, and double checking there are no other files hidden in there! If the problem persists, please send me a message and I can try and help ☺️
its still not working for me :/ whenever i put it in my mods folder my game wont even start. Do i have to redowload all of the recipes as well as the cookbook?
I just figured it out it’s the hot drinks mod & the recipes that come with it that haven’t been updated, I removed them and it’s working fine 🙏🏽
Hi 💕 Thank you for the update! I had al llama icon instead a glas or anything like this beside the word „drinks“ when i open the pie menu from your cookbook. Did i install the mod the wrong way? Maybe i forgot anything to download?
Updated on my birthday!
Happy Birthday! Enjoy yourself!!!
Hi, i made an updated Brazilian Portuguese Translation :) https://www.patreon.com/posts/livro-de-135079229
Heyyy! just wanted to ask if we put the recipes in the same file as the cookbook or not
Hi Kenz! You can put the cookbook in a file with the recipes if you want to. It's entirely up to you, just always make sure that none of your mods are never more than 1 folder deep in your mods folder xx
Hi! Thank you for your mod! After the new game update Better Exceptions shows that there’s an error with one of the recipes. Is it possible to fix it? /Tiana_Sims_cookbook/(TianaSims) Meals_H_Swiss Cheese.package Invalid Tuning TianaSims:recipe_Food_Homestyle_SwissCheese_Single TianaSims:recipe_Food_Homestyle_SwissCheese_Single_OTG
hi this needs an update after the patch xx
i hope it gets fixed soon - i was planning to download but i think ill wait till its fixed
Hi!! Do you ever plan to do a bulk download of all your recipes?
A zip of recipes would be so helpful!
are there any plans to release the nectar menu fix for the public?
Hi Brandi! Which nectar menu fix is this? I have added the custom nectars to the cookbook (which is public), so they can be made from there ☺️
Hi does this conflict with QMBIBI's or LLS cookbook?
Hello! I don’t know these other cookbook’s you’ve mentioned. But no this is a standalone mod and is compatible with most other food mods 🤗
hello! i just downloaded your cookbook and a bunch of your recipes, but none of them work... my sim start cooking, but she can't finish it, she just leave in the middle and start doing anything else, when I try to click on the bowl it only says to clean, not to continue cooking... is there a fix for this? I'm foward to test every recipe! thank you ♥
Hi Sayuri! It sounds like there might be something in your mods folder conflicting. Do you have any custom counters? I would try loading the game with only the cookbook mod and recipes, and seeing if it works ☺️
I noticed the Llama thing is solved with the new update. Now I got a proper breakfast icon.
Great! This was after your message. ☺️ please let me know if it ever happens again with any of the other icons
glad I came here since i barely use any mods, this is my only cookbook and I somehow didn't have the harvestable file either XD thanks for being here hah
Is the cookbook compatible with the new update ?
Yes! As far as I have discovered. Let me know if you experience anything odd 🤞
Hi, just curious if you have a bulk option for the recipes instead of downloading them separately? please x
there's always a new recipe :)
Hey hun, where are your recipes for the pets? I can seem to find them .
can't
I just want to say that you are so kind and talented and gracious. Your mods are my favorite cooking mods and all of my SIMS have to have your cookbook. My face lit up when I saw these new additions. So yeah, I'm a become a member, I support this kind of carrying on, lol!
This really means so much to me. I love creating (because I love food!) but your support inspires me to keep going. Thank you for such a lovely comment 💛☀️
I don't have the newest expansion pack, will I still be able to use the cookbook with the recent update.
Yes, absolutely
Is there a way where i can download all the recipes all in one folder
When I try to place the cookbook, I can't and it says "invalid object definition"
Hi Eric! Do you have the most recent version of the cookbook? Does it happen with every swatch? And have you tried loading the game with just the cookbook? (a good way to see if there are any conflicts hidden somewhere)
is anyone else having issues? Keeps coming up in BE. Cook book and kiev recipe, its freezing my sims?
Hi Jessica! Do you have the most recent version of the cookbook?
Hi! Here's Finnish translation for the main mod :) http://www.simfileshare.net/download/5310973/
the icon for breakfast is a grey lama again.
Hi! I have just updated this - please let me know if it fixes for you with this newest Cookbook?
Can I use Grannies Cookbook with this?
Yes, perfectly compatible. I love Jess’ mods and use both 💛
Hi Tiana :) I love your cookbook and all of your recipes but after the latest update I can't see all of them in my game, I can only see some of them. Hopefully you can fix them, thank you :)
Hi Silvia! Please double check that you have the latest cookbook (and that you don't have any older versions buried away in there). That is often the reason for this issue :)
Hello, love your creations. Sharing that I got an LE today, and when I opened the Better Exceptions report, it listed the following recipes as having invalid tuning/tuning errors: Tropical Fruit Salad, Beef Barley stew, and the French onion soup. Hope this help with updates. Good day.
Hi Liyah! Are you able to please post the LE message or the Better Exceptions report?
Hi! I am also having similar problems where my sim will say there is something wrong with the counter and stops cooking, or they will progress to 1/4 of the recipe completion and act like they are still cooking but nothing is happening.
Hi Olivia! Thanks for letting me know. Are you able to please tell me which recipes you have this issue with?
Hey! I have some problems with some recipes, especially desserts. My sims just stops making the cake and will sometimes tell me that somethings wrong with the counter. Or he will just stand there and wont continue to cook. Baking a normal cake (EA) works fine and I`ve tried it with a few households now, who all have different kitchens. But I only have this problem with some of the recipes, the egg muffin (breakfast) for example works perfectly fine!
Hi Denise! Are you able to please tell me which cakes you have this issue with? :)
Hey I had a lot of fun with your cookbook, but I also have the issue where I made an invisible rose turkish delight (sims kept autonomously eating it though and I saw the green clouds as it spoiled), saved the game and now the save keeps loading forever. It was the first time I tried this dish and I don't have the January 1st update yet, since I play offline and update manually
Hey I hope you enjoyed the holidays! The rose turkish delight started to turn invisible when you put it down ever since the January 1st update. Then when I tried to load back into that save file, it stays stuck on the loading screen forever and I can't play. Is there anyway you could fix the Rose turkish delight so that this doesn't happen?
ooh that's strange! Let me take a look. Thanks for letting me know:)
hi beautiful, (going to check my mods folder now to see if there are conflicting mods) - when I go to use the cookbook, the game does a mini freeze then resets all sims on the lot :( is there something else I should have so this mod works?
Hi Summer! Always a good idea when having issues to try using the mod on its own (without any other mods), to check if it’s conflicting with something. You could try even without any recipes to start with. And please make sure you have the most recent version of the cookbook 😊 let me know how you go! 💛
Your mods look really interesting! Do your recipes also work with ingredients from Icemunmuns harvestables and such? Thanks!
Hi Ilse! My recipes are compatible with other creators, however I just use EA ingredients or my own custom ingredients in my recipes :)
Hi! I hope all is well with you! :) I'm also having a problem, I'm not sure if it's conflicting with something else in my mods folder, but my save files get an endless loading screen when I have this mod in my game. I have already checked every other mod and it works fine until I add this to my game sadly :(
Não está funcionando.
Hi! Sorry, I don't understand. What is the issue you are having? :)
Just wondering if you would be ok if I upload an object I made which uses the cookbook tuning. I would link back to your page as if people wanted to use it they would need your cookbook and recipes
Hi Michelle, this sounds like a wonderful idea! I'm happy for you to make an object which requires the Cookbook Tuning, so long as the link goes back to this original post. Happy creating! :)
Hi. just wanted report a bug I ran into with the Tres leches cake. When my sim is finished cooking the cake it turns invisible. I can only see the sparkles from the cake being great quality but otherwise I can't see the cake nor is there a way to interact with it, my sim takes a slice autonomously (slices shows up) then the cake is just gone.
Hi soo i have downloaded many of thee newer recipes and they say they need the latest update of the cookbook which I have the 1-08-24 download, however none of the newer recipes are showing up? is there a newer update or is something else wrong?
Hi! As long as you have the most recent update of the cookbook, and you have put the recipe file you'd like into your mods folder, the recipes should show up! Please check first that your Sim has the required level of the skill needed (Gourmet, Homestyle, Baking etc.)
Something stange, the category canning don't appear in the cookbook, while I have canning recipes and the EP cottage living.
Hey girl how are you? Well i just came to tell you that the tres leches cake keeps crashing on me like you can cook it and stuff but when u put it on the counter you cant see it idk if u can fix this please ^^
Thank you for letting me know, so sorry I missed this! I'll take a look and fix it up.
Does your burgerpile still work? I never have been able to access it. Thanks - you make some great mods!
MY BURGERS ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH COOKING. TRY A GRILL
hello are your mods compatible with srsly's cooking overhall ?
Does this work with other cookbooks like Grannie's?
Yes it does! ☺️
I love this mod, but I'm finding some conflicts in my Mod Manager: Nettle Wine Single and Nettle Wine Multi seem to not get along. Do I choose one or the other or keep both? TIA!
Hi! From the occult cookbook? You need both files to work, what issues are you experiencing when you use them both in game?
I couldn't find, but are there any other food mods this isn't compatible with? I have Amellce, Srsly, S&S, Balka, Pied Piper, and anytime I go to play my game it keeps crashing and will not let me use your stuff
Hi Gabrielle! The best way of testing out incompatibility is to test mods in isolation (even though it’s a pain). As far as I know, my mod is compatible with other food mods, although I haven’t played with the ones you’ve mentioned. I tend to play maxis match 😊
Hey Tiana,the breakfast icon in the recipe book doesn't show up anymore
me too
OMG it was updated on my birthday
Happy (recent) birthday!
Hi :) I wanted to thank you SO much for all your hard work on these incredible foods! If not a bother, do you happen to know if your food mods are compatible with Brazenlotus food recipes? I saw somewhere something about reports of issues when use both but not sure what issues. Thank you SO very much once again and hope you have a wonderful day! :)
Hi! No bother at all! Brazen Lotus' mods are a fair bit more complex than mine and I understand she makes lots of changes and updates to them regularly. There's more scope for incompatibility with mods like that, and a few players have reported issues with her mods on their own. but I've certainly played with both in my game at one point or another and never had any issues. This seems to be the general case with most users I've spoken to also, so I think you're good to go! My recipes are just clones of base game recipes so don't typically clash with any other mods (including food mods).
So happy I came across your recipes. Can't wait to try them out in game later!
🥰🤗🤗
Your recipes look really amazing, I'm sad I haven't seen these before!
Thank you Robin! That’s an honour coming from you 😊 sometimes it’s hard to get the word out as a new creator, but I hope you enjoy them
does this conflict with grannies cookbook?
Hi Indi! No it shouldn’t conflict with Grannies Cookbook. Please do let me know if you have any issues
I am here for it! YAAAYYY!
Please keep going! Can’t wait for more… I’m obsessed to see what you create next
I have sooo many cute things planned!! The next recipe has 🍌 in it! 🥰
Just want to say... you are on your way to great things. I fell in adorable love with your creations! Just pledged BTW
That really means so much to me, thank you for your lovely comment 🥰❤️
I just found about you from Facebook: Sims In Melanin! I've been with Robin, LittlBowBub, IceMunMun and Oni for the longest but had never heard of you until now. I play only maxi match and LOVE new in game foods so thank you!
I'm soo pleased you found me 🥰 Lots of exciting foods to come!
Merci. Des crêpes à la banane quelle bonne idée ! mes Sims vont se régaler 🙏👍💋
avec plaisir! 🥰
