BANANA SPLIT ICE CREAM
Simmers with a sweet tooth, rejoice. The BANANA SPLIT ICE CREAM add-on brings a beloved classic dessert straight into your Sims' kitchens.

What is the BANANA SPLIT ICE CREAM Add-On?
This fan-made creation adds a brand-new recipe to the game's culinary repertoire. It is a single-serving dessert that can be scaled up to a large serving option for bigger households or gatherings.

Once installed, your Sims with a Cooking skill of Level 4 (Homestyle) can whip up this delightful treat.
Recipe Details and Customization
The beauty of this add-on lies in its flexibility. While the core recipe is simple, you have the option to enhance it with custom ingredients. Here is what you need to know:
- Serving: Single or Large serving options are available.
- Optional Ingredients: Banana, Whipped Cream, Any Milk, Cherry, and Chocolate.
- Cost: A flat fee of 0 simoleons for a single dish.
- Ingredient Flexibility: Sims can cook the recipe even if they lack the required ingredients; custom ingredients are entirely optional.
This design ensures that the recipe is accessible, but for those who want the full experience, sourcing the optional ingredients adds a fun layer of realism and resource management to your game.

The optional ingredients (Banana, Whipped Cream, Chocolate, and Milk) come from other custom mods or specific game packs like Cottage Living. The mod itself is Base Game compatible, meaning you do not need any specific expansion packs to run the core recipe, though some optional ingredients will require them.
When you are ready, you can download BANANA SPLIT ICE CREAM from the creator's Patreon or Tumblr page. The download includes custom plates and unique cooking steps, ensuring a fresh experience. The polycount is reasonable, with a high-poly multi version at 2544 vertices and a lower-poly single version at 1139 vertices, ensuring it won't heavily impact your game's performance.
