Festive Sugar cookie Set
The holiday season in The Sims 4 just got a whole lot sweeter with the Festive Sugar cookie Set. This delightful custom content add-on transforms your Sims' kitchens into a winter wonderland of baked goods, offering seven distinct cookie recipes, a functional display stand, and a host of festive interactions. Whether you are preparing for a Sims Christmas party or simply want to add a touch of seasonal charm to your gameplay, this set is a must-have for any baker Sim.
This add-on is designed for players who love detailed, functional food mods. It introduces a Festive Sugar Cookie Stand, a craftable display piece that holds up to 15 plates of cookies. Your Sims can stock the stand, grab a single cookie or a plate, and even share them with friends and family. The stand itself is priced at 100 simoleons and can be found in the Small Appliances category of the build catalog, making it easy to integrate into any kitchen design.
What Does the Festive Sugar cookie Set Include?
The core of this set is its variety. There are seven unique cookie designs, each with its own visual flair and recipe requirements. From a jolly Santa to a cheerful Penguin, these cookies are perfect for festive storytelling. Here is a quick breakdown of what you can bake:
- Assorted Festive Sugar Cookies – A colorful mix, perfect for a sharing platter.
- Santa Festive Sugar Cookies – A classic red and white design.
- Mrs. Santa Festive Sugar Cookies – A sweet counterpart to the Santa cookie.
- Red House Festive Sugar Cookies – A cozy gingerbread-style house shape.
- Festive Tree Sugar Cookies – A green, decorated Christmas tree.
- Twisty Tree Festive Sugar Cookies – A whimsical, spiral-shaped tree.
- Penguin Festive Sugar Cookies – An adorable black and white winter friend.
Each recipe requires a Prepped Ingredient (Dough) as a base, along with specific extras like Flour/Sugar, Fruit, Milk, or Ginger. You will also need the appropriate Buttercream (White, Red, or Green) to finish the designs. The required cooking skill level is 4, which means your Sims need to practice a bit before mastering these festive treats. All recipes are vegetarian-safe, so they fit seamlessly into households with dietary preferences.
How to Use the Display Stand and Interactions
The Festive Sugar Cookie Stand is not just a decorative piece; it is fully functional. Once placed, your Sim can interact with it in two primary ways. First, you can Stock with Festive Sugar Cookies, which costs 150 simoleons and fills the stand with a fresh batch. Second, you can Grab Festive Sugar Cookies, which opens a menu allowing you to select any of the seven cookie types. Each stand holds 15 plates of cookies before needing to be restocked, making it ideal for large gatherings or a bustling household.
These cookies are also compatible with the Custom Bake Menu on fridges and stoves, provided you have the required Custom Food Objects mod installed. For players who own the Dine Out expansion, these cookies appear in the restaurant menu under the Dessert section, allowing you to run a festive bakery or add seasonal specials to your Sim-owned eatery.
Recipe Details and Ingredient Breakdown
To help you plan your baking sessions, here is a detailed look at what each cookie requires. Remember, you will need the Buttercream add-ons (White, Red, and Green) and Flour/Sugar from the optional files to create the full range of designs. The skill level requirement is consistent across all recipes at level 4.
- Assorted: Dough + Flour/Sugar + Fruit + Milk + White Buttercream
- Santa: Dough + Flour/Sugar + Fruit + Milk + White Buttercream
- Mrs. Santa: Dough + Flour/Sugar + Vanilla + Milk + Red Buttercream
- Red House: Dough + Chocolate + Fruit + Milk + Red Buttercream
- Festive Tree: Dough + Flour/Sugar + Berry + Milk + Green Buttercream
- Twisty Tree: Dough + Ginger + Fruit + Milk + Green Buttercream

This variety ensures that no two baking sessions feel the same, and the custom plates and hand props add an extra layer of visual polish to the cooking process.
Compatibility and Requirements for the Festive Sugar cookie Set
One of the best aspects of this add-on is its broad compatibility. The Festive Sugar cookie Set for The Sims 4 is base game compatible, meaning you do not need any specific expansion packs to use it. However, it works beautifully with Cottage Living, City Living, and Parenthood, enhancing features like Group Cooking, Simple Living Lot Challenges, and Sack Lunches. Toddlers can also enjoy these cookies, as they are compatible with high chairs, sofas, and floor eating. Pets are not left out either; if they have the Glutton trait, they can interact with and eat the cookies.
When you download Festive Sugar cookie Set, you will need the main Custom Food Objects mod as a dependency. The optional Buttercream and Flour/Sugar files are also recommended to unlock all recipes. The mod was built with the latest game version, so it should work seamlessly with current updates, and it does not conflict with other mods, ensuring a smooth experience.
