for some reason i can't delete ds store folders from updated downloads :(

Natevia Hardeman

hey so this my first time downloading custom foods i only have city living, dine out & university will this still work in my gameplay? or do i need other packs

Abby C.

hello i am having issues with my sims eating there food

noni gaines

Yes that will work! I have been working on something for yall bc I know we need a grocery store or some type of retail LOT situation and not just that deco building

QMBiBi

If I bought them via delivery then put them on a shelf in my store would they work fine? 🤔 I want to add them to my store 😭🤣

Nicole puiia

can i have this and the recipe list in my game?

Lisa Belk

YESSSSSS, thank you so much!

Karimah

thank you

Fineassim

great minds lol

QMBiBi

🩵🩵🩵

Faithie777

crazy I was just coming on here to see if this was getting an update and here you are 🙏

Joey Carolin

its in small kitchen appliances

QMBiBi

Hi sorry, don't mean to be annoying but if i cant purchase the kitchen tablet of yours, can i use another kitchen tablet?

Kayla Monae

Everything works, but I am experiencing an issue with grabbing a serving of cereal. I was so happy to grab some Cinnamon toast crunch

Janae Baker

You doing it wrong then. You would need all of her mods, lot51 core mod, and xml injector or should I say all the required mods for the mod you are referring to

Elizabeth Nicole

please ensure you are properly taking out all .DS files and ALL macOX files in EACH QMBIBI update :) GREAT MODDER

Jennifer Panosky

Hey, I'm not sure if anyone else is dealing with this but I've noticed that the grocery mod prevents my sims from making prepped veggies in the stand mixer. I've tested with just the basics (StP, Lot, XML) and didn't have an issue till this one was added. Can anyone else confirm if this has happened to them?

MizzBellaKitty

hey so my food came in a paper bag do i got the right update

syria thompson

when i have my sim "pick up a serving" of almonds or chips it just disappears and she doesn't eat it. anyone know what im doing wrong? i even tried it with just this mod and LOT51 in my mods folder.

Raven Simone

you must have something downloaded incorrectly. I just tried in my game and it works. Do you have the current version of lot 51 core mod?

Elizabeth Nicole

I LOVE your MODS. can you rellme the best place to find the items for the stirring the pot grovery. i have tried "Instacart" but it greys out my game and i have to restart. is there another place to get them?

Elisha Mosley

Thank you for updating your mods. My gameplay with the Sims isn't the same not having them 💗💗

Peach

hey love! just want to say how I loveee your mods! but have you ever thought of redoing the seafood mod? if you have pls disregard this!

nenee xx

just want to say that I absolutely love your mods and being able to support you on patreon, for some reason I’m having issues with joining the discord server and also I can’t seem to find the functional toaster post anymore.

zee

DeShayla Thomas that is not true. All of her mods are working perfectly. I have them all and they work. Don't put out misinformation.

Mendota Kelly

The screen freezing happens with a lot of grocery mods. It is a result of memory overload. The best option is to go to the desktop by pressing the window button on your keyboard. Then right click select the Sims on the task bar. Select close window. It will go back to the game and give you the save option. Save the game and exit. Reopen the game and try again. This happens with most grocery mods from time to time because of the amount of groceries. This is the reason why the default Maxis grocery only allows you to buy a few items at a time.

Mendota Kelly

Her mods have yet to be updated to the most recent update, so most of them are not working right now.

DeShayla

Hey queen!! Everything seems to be working but whenever I use the tablet to purchases groceries or food my screen turns a faint color and freezes and ideas what’s causing that?

Lishia

lot 51 core is updated, make sure sure you update that as well because most of her mods require that

Jacey danee

I'm here redownloading everything to see if it works smh

PrettyAlicia

mod not working

Kyana Jackson

not sure why but I am getting a last exception error for this that is saying I am missing packs and idk why because I have all required packs

LylahsMommy26

Hey girl!! I want to say thank you for these mods that you created. They've added so much more depth to my gameplay. I'm just having one issue with the groceries. My sims are able to order, get the groceries delivered but they can't pick up servings from the juices & 1L sodas.. It resets them or the blocked pathway thought bubble comes up.

Razzerbeams

The mod isn’t working for the cereal boxes! They can eat everything else but the cereal and boxed items :(

Kai

This mod is still not working in the game, causing game to go to world screen.

Michele Williams

I redownloaded this mod but i keep getting Better Exceptions for the ingredients: GroceryTunings_Ingredients.package, Grocery_Oreos.package, Grocery_PackageNuts.package

Jazamyne Short

mine is doing the same thing. My BE says the kitchen tablet is the problem. Im sick of wasting money buying the food and it not showing up. She always says its our laptop and not her mods though. So i doubt she is gonna help.

Jae Shadd

I am having an issue with ordering groceries. Paid membership. Checked my mods folder nothing is wrong with it. I can order stuff from Sephora just fine and other places, but food it freezes every time. Idk when the last time this was updated but it might not be compatible with this new update and the previous update.

Chantelle Smith

How come some meals my sims will cook and others they won't?

Jay Pat

I've been trying to order from the kitchen tablet for groceries and The game keeps freezing, which makes me have to keep restarting the game. Am I missing something? I've updated all of your mods that you've updated. Will or can you provide me with any suggestions on how to fix this.

Mz. Nikki Wilson

hey boo is there a update coming for this im getting a error

jazzysims

lol ok

QMBiBi

Something is wrong with the grocery list. When trying to order groceries from instacart, BE exception is sending an error message and groceries aren't being delivered. PLEASE HELP!!

Amber Smith

its in hiddenobjects but it will freeze your game i wish it was where we can grab it with the other food like insimnia does

Kerikyona Hicks

I love it please make more I’ll forever be a fan and sub

Queen Dayä

Same! Do your sims live in a residential rental?

Jala Jackson

there's no button !! its a link that you click on. responding kind of late, did you find it?

chloe

what dlc do u need for this

bxbyygirlchey

Hey, I'm getting a BE Tuning exception when I grab a serving of any cereal and cheez-its, wasn't sure if it had anything to do with the latest update because this is my first time ever having any problems with your mods.

jnicole_sims

Something is wrong I had to reset my game 6 times cause every time I tried to open the tablet groceries it freezes up my app then I tried to look up the names of the alcohol but they don't show I tried to type your name but only a little bit of things popped up. I don't have the other mods that would mess up your mod. It just doesn't work ima try to use the old one to see if it still works cause the 7.1 has issues

Kerikyona Hicks

Okay inwill check it

QMBiBi

Grab a serving of cereal option is no working properly

Janae Baker

Forgive my ignorance, but where do I find the butter, Nigerian Palm oil, hot sauce, BBQ sauce, hoisin sauce,cornbread muffin and red crawdads?

Dene

Omg.. I've never seen someone with the same name as me lol !!

Ashlei Rawlings

Why do my groceries never arrive when I order them? Am I doing something wrong, or is it broken? Please help, I love your work you're one of my favorites

tishnell hilson

Where is the download button? Haha, i might just be blind

Deana

Hello! Love your work, but the Instacart link from Thee Kitchen Tablet doesn't work. It makes the game freeze on the black screen like it wants to open, but gets stuck.

Alaysa Kai

yes!!!!!!!!!!

Lul Princess

when I click insta cart it goes to a black screen

Adventures with Arielle M

Heyy, I deleted my previous grocery folder and redownloaded with this new update. I had an issue before where my Sims would grab a serving of juice/soda, and it reset them.. and it's happening still with the new update. Is anyone else having this issue? I'm pretty good on reading and following download instructions, just hoping for help to resolve

Faisat Quadry

NOT ONE! LMAOO ♥️♥️♥️

QMBiBi

oh you're playing no games!!!

Tamiah Jackson

Hi, I don't know if it's something i did , but there is a duplicate of broccoli in the produce section, except it's called broccoli copy. I just wanted to know if it should be there or not. Please and thank you.

Fidget

Paula Centaño Baldo

kierra perkins

Hey darling, LOVE love love your mods! New to them and incidentally, I'm getting an invalid tuning error from BE for the grocery ingredients tuning package, any suggestions the household won't load because of it

TerBear007

Two comments down I’ve answered the DS store question. I don’t know why your sims can’t finish cooking, I don’t have that issue.

QMBiBi

Kadedra

What is the wait time for delivery?? No sim has dropped off my groceries from Instacart delivery yet

AllyKitts

heeyy qmbibi! I'm having issues in game grabbing servings for liquor, like Titos and Henessey...its giving me LE's. I have options to grab servings, but sims won't and then the LE pops up. any suggestions? everything else is working just fine with the grocery mod and other drinks like wine and coffee.

LifeSims

the tablet isnt working for me at all

jasmine madden

You don’t add them you delete them if you see them that and the Mac osx folder!

QMBiBi

Ashlei Simmons

Do we have to add one ds. store or all included /

Ashlei Simmons

Do you have cool kitchen that’s the ice cream from that pack

QMBiBi

Hi! I got an exception saying that the icecream carton is broken, just wanted to let you know!

Taylor Celeste

Hey I’m having a problem with Instacart not working when I try to order groceries

Starfire_XO

"⚠️ Delete the folder titled "MACOSX""

QMBiBi

question?? whenever i download any of your mods my game wont even start until i delete your mods i really want them but my game wont even start with them i would get a error message saying remove mods before launching game

Angelica Weston

Hey! I LOVE this mod and all the detail there is to it. I want to play it, but when I download everything I need (STP cookbook, Grocery, Recipes), it will not even start my game, and tells me tunings_alcohol,snacks, etc. are corrupted.

Tagan

:(

QMBiBi

Do I delete the .Ds.Store file for this one

Peachy Sims

i have downloaded everything that is needed and your mods for some reason clashes with my game so bad.

Dee

Delete the old folder. download the updated one, delete the MACOSX, and also delete any .ds_store that you see inside the Qmbibi grocery folder

Coriana 🤍

The frozen bags open to mine or ea harbestables now some berries are cottage living

QMBiBi

If you remove mine then remove the frozen fruits and vegetable bags they won’t open to anything. Their harvestable won’t work in my recipes

QMBiBi

THEY NOT IN THE LIST??? Omgggg lmaooo I will fix it then chiii

QMBiBi

Hey sis, i see xxl wine when i edit menu for restaurants, but dont see them in the grocery to purchase. Where can i find that 👀

Cocoo

So once you download do i delete the folder MACOSX? Or the old folder for it? Im a bit confused lol sorry

Caramelcandy P

Hi! I use Somik and Severinka as well and the harvestables are showing as duplicates to some of their files, are your harvestables required to have in the grocery list or can they be deleted?

Michelle O' Bryan

I have a list of all the ingredients that don't work in your mods. LMK and I can send you a message.

Truvey

Remove the old groceries.

Kaytheesimmer

Your recipe Rice and Peas doesn't seem to work. The recipes never starts.

Truvey

Do I add the grocery list to the original folder? Or am I removing the old groceries?

Monet J.

Sorry I am new to cooking mod, as you instructed above, if I do not have Icemunmun's harvestables, I need to delete the file [QMB]Grocery_FrozenVegetables? Thanks.

The Real Georgia Dacosta

The Remy Martin Cognac does not give my Sim a glass of cognac. It works like a facial mask.

Puking king

Right, my sims bout to gain back the weight they just lost😊

Tierra Xue

This new update is BUSSIN!!!!!! Omg never leave!😭😂✊🏾

Ashley Hall

where do i go to download the cookbook and all the recipes?

Taela

For some reason my groceries won't deliver

Martika Russell

No I messed up but I just fixed it i moved stuff around and I don’t know why lol

QMBiBi

downloaded 04/03 update and some reason missing beers and wine- i added in all the files like i normally would though

Cocoo

im having the same problem

sinnsimmer26

Hi, I'm having trouble with the alcohol. Whenever I have my sims try to grab a drink, it just duplicates the bottle.

Dani45

You did you're THIIING with this!!! The bottle overrides?! The food texture?! WOW

Sunshine4Sims

How do I get my sims to drink the liquor ? Once I press grab serving they just pick it up then put it down

Karice Williams

Hey! im having some trouble with the new liquors and some of the recipes. My sims will just randomly stop cooking. With the liquors, they don't pick up servings, just the whole bottle and put it down.

Kyla Davis

I am having a difficult time getting them to cook from the cookbook with the update. Since I updated everytime I click it it says Put in Inventory.

Mark Jones

Oohhh, I love this. Diddy doesn't own any of Ciroc anymore.

MrsTriniBlossom

makes them always full so they’re not empty when you buy them

QMBiBi

Hi, could you please explain to me what the canning override does? I'm worried because I have custom canning from different creators.

Puking king

Same here. Cannot figure out what I did lol

Simqay

hey im getting an exception from ordering any type of bread from instacart and it doesnt get delivered.

Tottieanna Green

Okay I will look!

QMBiBi

Hey I noticed pancake mix is not in the ingredients unless I missed something. I love all your drops. You the goat

Ty Parker

ykw now that i think about it i think i was supposed to take pizza dough out and just use dough like the games pizza....oops lol bc my screen shot says "dough" not pizza dough

QMBiBi

Hello, the dough (ea dough and yours) are not recognized by your pizzas.. Also, your dough is still called pizza dough.

Puking king

i loveeeeeeee every single thing you drop sis <3

SayHeyyyMsZoey

No it’s okay and it was expected there would be things with the ingredients esp now that they’re “recipes” I just appreciate you telling me asap so I can fix it!! I’m on it!!! I have a running list of things to fix, I knew you’d get me together lol ♥️

QMBiBi

I hate to break it to you, but I found another error. The ground sausage turns into sausage links once I put them together in the inventory. It is still recognized as ground sausage, but the name changed to sausage links.

Puking king

Y’all don’t hate me I realize i forgot to fix something and also I forgot the bbq sauce so I’ll see you again tmrw I’m going to bed LMAOOO

QMBiBi

Oh they need SCCO they open to those tea bags let me add that sry!!! Same thing with the coffee

QMBiBi

hello, how would i use the tazo tea?

Kenya Rochelle

I don’t have that issue. You’ll have to double shoot and 50/50 the ingredients to see what the problem ingredient is.

QMBiBi

When I try to bring up instacart, it freees my game.

Adrina Morgan

Okay let me go try again and I’ll comment on there!

YepThatsDee

But comment on the faq page bc this will get lost in my notifications!

QMBiBi

Can you tell me which recipe and when exactly they stop. Like exactly which step do they complete and then stop at with the recipe so I can check the file

QMBiBi

Hey! I love love love your mods!! For some reason my sims will start cooking some meals and just stand there after awhile sniffing the cutting board but will never finish making the meal. Do you know what I could do for this?? Thanks In advance!

YepThatsDee

The cookbook page lists what is required

QMBiBi

do you need this to make all the recipes show?

Patrice M

I've found that I'm a true genius :) I've tried sending a message and screenshots but it keeps saying "message failed to send" I want to make it as easy as possible for you because I'm grateful that you take your time for me.

PETRA

hi, i just created an account. I will do my best :)

PETRA

Hi Petra! Do you have Twitter, if you do can you send me a screenshot?

QMBiBi

Hello. i'm still a "stirring the pot beginner" ;) i used google to translate all the installation instructions and i still think i did something wrong. when shopping, fish, milk and i think it's vegetables are shown as "debug". I have the tablet, the grocery list, the food stalls and the cooking objects. I deleted all ds.store in every downloaded folder and also the MACOSX. Haven't downloaded any recipes yet but made a pizza with the board which worked great. :* Maybe someone has an idea and can give me some advice. Thank you very much and greetings from Austria.

PETRA

There’s like 100 different ingredients so I’m not sure what you’re talking about

QMBiBi

When i dowloaded it,it just showed me a red x next to the file

niyahxox

No

QMBiBi

Thanks for responding! One more? Will your ingredients conflict with SCCO (replace them) when I use other game recipes?

Prahkeet-Mama P Sims

No

QMBiBi

Hi! I found you from OshinSims! Can I use your recipes without downloading the ingredients if I have SCCO?

Prahkeet-Mama P Sims

Thank you so much and welcome to the crew!! ♥️♥️♥️

QMBiBi

I swear I think I just fell in love!! This is why I joined your patreon!! You make some of the best stuff!!

Whiskeikitten

They’re for the thee struggle pot I’m about to upload it right neoooow!!!

QMBiBi

Whiskeikitten

😂😂😂

Kuri

It’s been there but you’re welcome ☺️

QMBiBi

Thank you for adding it just now. Appreciate it.

Kuri

Again, what Icemunmun veggies are needed are listed.

QMBiBi

I did read it. It says SOME of the frozen vegetables. Doesn't specify which ones. Same for fruits.

Kuri

It’s in the page. “ YOU NEED ICEMUNMUN HARVESTABLES FOR SOME OF THE FROZEN VEGETABLE BAGS TO OPEN TO THE VEGETABLES! Ex: Corn & Broccoli” and “ Frozen Fruits (some require Cottage Living - raspberry, blueberry or Icemunmun peach)” please be sure to read my posts fully. The information is made available to you

QMBiBi

Kuri

You might want to turn on bb.showhiddenobjects before you start your store, I made a whole foods store and I had no issue with any of Q ingredients, I also use SCCO ingredients and Icemunmun!

FamousSimmer

https://youtu.be/0zzSMbZ_KWI oh if you want to see one of my stores this is everyone favorite right now!

Simmerina

I'm not sure the gyuere cheese and the ice cream for sure

Simmerina

I can look into it! I will say I made the tablet for purchasing them exclusively but I’m sure it’s something I can add to them in the future. For now I suggest using the tablet until I figure out why it’s happening Is it all ingredients or some?

QMBiBi

Hi I make grocery stores in my game with get to work and when I set your items for sale my game freezes can you look into this?

Simmerina

Girl, bless you for making these update posts. You a real one.

Mizu

I appreciate your help. I thought it might have been like insomnia mods lol. Thanks again for your help!

Samantha P

There are tons of videos on Youtube on how to download and install mods.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj_fIP5--YM

FamousSimmer

Hello! Your creations are amazing! I am unsure of how to download to the Mods folder. Is there a tutorial for your cc?

Samantha P

ughh i just LOVE you and your uplifting comments!!!! thank you queen!!!

QMBiBi

the produce one! not everything is there tho so i recc'd the Tablet to buy everything

QMBiBi

Hi what food stall do I use to get groceries? I saw somewhere on your page one of the City Living food stalls but mines only sell hot food.

Tiffany

You are amazing. This makes my holidays. Thank you.

Mendota Kelly

It's just fine Sis, no need to stress yourself, thank you for all you do to help make our game enjoyable!!
