Recipe Notebook
Requires the XML Injector
Recipe Notebook by Enkidu
Adds a new section to the the sims Notebook to keep track of learned/unlocked food recipes.
Do you know how there are 27 City Living recipes that your sim can unlock by eating them once? I always had a hard time keeping track of them, especially when playing with multiple sims or switching households. Now I can just check the notebook to see what recipes my sims have already unlocked. I also added Notebook sections for Brindleton Bay, Selvadorada and Batuu food recipes.
Update 17.03.2023:
Mods compatible with 1.96.365.1030. No changes necessary.
Features
Adds a new Recipes section to the Notebook with sub-sections for food recipes from:
- San Myshuno (City Living) - 27 food recipes
- Selvadorada (Jungle Adventure) - 10 food recipes (including secret menu), drinks not included
- Brindleton Bay (Cats and Dogs) - 4 food recipes, drink not included
- Batuu (Journey to Batuu) - 9 food recipes, drinks not included
Installation and usage
The mod requires XmlInjector. You can get it from the Official In Memoriam Website. The mod will not work without it. You may in fact already have it as it is a very popular dependency for Sims4 Mods.
After installation, recipes will get added to the notebook once a sim eats a serving of that recipe.
If a sim has already unlocked several recipes they will not be in the notebook untill the sim eats a serving. In order to add the recipes unlocked before installing the mod, have the sim cook a serving of the recipe and eat it.
The mod does not touch notification or game messages in any way. I chose not to display a notification when a recipe gets added to the notebook as the notification panel is busy enough already. The Notebook icon will turn green when a new recipe is added.
After removing the mod the Recipes section will no longer appear in the Notebook.
Mod contains 5 files:
- Enkidu_recipeNotebook.ts4script - REQUIRED. Mod does not work without it.
- Enkidu_recipeNotebook.package - REQUIRED. Mod does not work without it. Contains Notebook configuration and San Myshuno recipes.
- Enkidu_recipeNotebook_Batuu.package - Optional. Contains Batuu food recipes.
- Enkidu_recipeNotebook_BrindletonBay - Optional. Contains Brindleton Bay recipes.
- Enkidu_recipeNotebook_Selvadorada - Optional. Contains Selvadorada recipes.
Tools and mentions
Thanks to Lot51 for the notebook injector code, tips and resources he shares with the community.
Made possible by the following tools & applications: Frank’s String Table Studio, Sims4Studio, Scumbumbo’s XML Extractor and TDESC explorer with an essential Aha! moment provided by SimsonianLibrary’s Archeology Kit mod.
Would never have existed without the amazing community on the Creator Musings discord.
No Constant Phone
I swore I would mod out the constant phone use the second I saw it on the livestream. Here it is! No Constant Phone disables phone use when routing, chatting, and watching.
Dairy Cowplant
Everyone's favorite Cannibal Proglotis was also not deprived of the attention of the authors. With this mod, you can enjoy the same variety of milk types as with the Dairy Cow mod, but you will not be able, logically, to get meat from a plant.

Zero/BFM - MBTI Personalities
Obviously, the 16 personalities of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® These personalities are meant to sit in the background of the standard 3 personality traits from Maxis default to differentiate Sims a bit more.
Amazing Promotion
Sims can congratulate others on their promotion, brag about their own promotion, talk or complain about work. Sims will get to know the carreer of the target sim if they talk or complain about work.
