[1/20/2026 UPDATE] StP ESSENTIAL GROCERY LIST
🕑 Added 2026-01-21 03:17:00 +0000 UTC⚠️ THIS IS THE LATEST VERSION AS OF: 1/20/2026

Thee Kitchen Tablet to purchase | Cool Kitchen for Ice Cream Cartons
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH TO BUY YOUR GROCERIES FROM THE TABLET. THAT IS CURRENTLY THE ONLY WAY TO PURCHASE USABLE INGREDIENTS! IF YOU BUY THEM FROM BUILD MODE, THEY WILL BE EMPTY AND NOT WORK. I HAVE STATED THIS MULTIPLE TIMES.
YOUR SCREENS ARE BLANK BC OF A GAME BUG. THERE IS A CONNECTION WITH BLANK/BLUE SCREENS, INSUFFICIENT or OVERLOADED RAM, OBJECT LISTS WITH 100+ ITEMS, COTTAGE LIVING (when the bug started) ETC.
THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT A BLANK BLUE SCREEN. IF YOU DON'T BELEIVE ME, CHECK THE FORUMS WHERE YOU WILL SEE PEOPLE STILL COMPLAINING ABOUT SCREEN FREEZES WITH UNMODDED GAMES ON THE START SCREEN. DRAG EA, NOT ME.
:)
All items are either single use, 4x, 8x or 12x usage. This is to add realism while also keeping ingredient costs low and fridge inventory not too full. Let me know if a specific ingredient is preventing cooking that recipe, I can check it out. Please remember that one patch in March really fucked my ingredients up and even to this day I find ones that I didn't notice the first time :)
Where applicable, sims can “grab a serving” if ingredient item is edible. Ex: Milk, Lactic, Chocolate Chips, Liquor
Do not purchase ingredients from Build Mode, they will be empty and unusable.
🚨 When I update the zip, delete your grocery folders and add the new one in. Do not take them out their folders or you’ll likely miss an update and/or have old files mixed. Always delete the grocery zip and replace it after EACH UPLOAD.

QMBiBi
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
Nicole puiia
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 😭🤣

QMBiBi

Kayla Monae
Hi sorry, don't mean to be annoying but if i cant purchase the kitchen tablet of yours, can i use another kitchen tablet?
Janae Baker
Everything works, but I am experiencing an issue with grabbing a serving of cereal. I was so happy to grab some Cinnamon toast crunch
Elizabeth Nicole
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
Jennifer Panosky
please ensure you are properly taking out all .DS files and ALL macOX files in EACH QMBIBI update :) GREAT MODDER
MizzBellaKitty
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?
syria thompson
hey so my food came in a paper bag do i got the right update
Raven Simone
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.
Elizabeth Nicole
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?
Elisha Mosley
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?
Peach
Thank you for updating your mods. My gameplay with the Sims isn't the same not having them 💗💗
nenee xx
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!
zee
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.
Mendota Kelly
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.
DeShayla
Her mods have yet to be updated to the most recent update, so most of them are not working right now.
Lishia
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?
Jacey danee
lot 51 core is updated, make sure sure you update that as well because most of her mods require that
PrettyAlicia
I'm here redownloading everything to see if it works smh
Kyana Jackson
mod not working
LylahsMommy26
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
Razzerbeams
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.
Kai
The mod isn’t working for the cereal boxes! They can eat everything else but the cereal and boxed items :(
Michele Williams
This mod is still not working in the game, causing game to go to world screen.
Jazamyne Short
I redownloaded this mod but i keep getting Better Exceptions for the ingredients: GroceryTunings_Ingredients.package, Grocery_Oreos.package, Grocery_PackageNuts.package
Jae Shadd
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.
Chantelle Smith
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.
Jay Pat
How come some meals my sims will cook and others they won't?
Mz. Nikki Wilson
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.
jazzysims
hey boo is there a update coming for this im getting a error
QMBiBi
lol ok
Amber Smith
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!!
Kerikyona Hicks

Queen Dayä

Jala Jackson

bxbyygirlchey

jnicole_sims
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.
Kerikyona Hicks
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
QMBiBi
Okay inwill check it
Janae Baker
Grab a serving of cereal option is no working properly
Dene
Forgive my ignorance, but where do I find the butter, Nigerian Palm oil, hot sauce, BBQ sauce, hoisin sauce,cornbread muffin and red crawdads?
Ashlei Rawlings
Omg.. I've never seen someone with the same name as me lol !!
tishnell hilson
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
Deana
Where is the download button? Haha, i might just be blind
Alaysa Kai
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.
Lul Princess

Faisat Quadry
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
QMBiBi

TerBear007
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
QMBiBi
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.
Kadedra
AllyKitts
What is the wait time for delivery?? No sim has dropped off my groceries from Instacart delivery yet
LifeSims
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.

"⚠️ Delete the folder titled "MACOSX""
Angelica Weston

Tagan
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.
QMBiBi
:(
Peachy Sims
Do I delete the .Ds.Store file for this one
Dee
i have downloaded everything that is needed and your mods for some reason clashes with my game so bad.
Coriana 🤍
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
QMBiBi
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

Cocoo

Caramelcandy P
So once you download do i delete the folder MACOSX? Or the old folder for it? Im a bit confused lol sorry
Michelle O' Bryan
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?
Truvey
I have a list of all the ingredients that don't work in your mods. LMK and I can send you a message.
Kaytheesimmer
Remove the old groceries.
Truvey
Your recipe Rice and Peas doesn't seem to work. The recipes never starts.
Monet J.

The Real Georgia Dacosta
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.
Puking king
The Remy Martin Cognac does not give my Sim a glass of cognac. It works like a facial mask.
Tierra Xue
Right, my sims bout to gain back the weight they just lost😊
Ashley Hall

Taela

Martika Russell

QMBiBi

Cocoo

sinnsimmer26
im having the same problem
Dani45
Hi, I'm having trouble with the alcohol. Whenever I have my sims try to grab a drink, it just duplicates the bottle.
Sunshine4Sims
You did you're THIIING with this!!! The bottle overrides?! The food texture?! WOW
Karice Williams
How do I get my sims to drink the liquor ? Once I press grab serving they just pick it up then put it down
Kyla Davis
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.
Mark Jones
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.
MrsTriniBlossom
Oohhh, I love this. Diddy doesn't own any of Ciroc anymore.
QMBiBi
makes them always full so they’re not empty when you buy them
Puking king
Hi, could you please explain to me what the canning override does? I'm worried because I have custom canning from different creators.
Simqay
Same here. Cannot figure out what I did lol
Tottieanna Green
hey im getting an exception from ordering any type of bread from instacart and it doesnt get delivered.
QMBiBi
Okay I will look!
Ty Parker
Hey I noticed pancake mix is not in the ingredients unless I missed something. I love all your drops. You the goat
QMBiBi
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
Puking king
Hello, the dough (ea dough and yours) are not recognized by your pizzas.. Also, your dough is still called pizza dough.
SayHeyyyMsZoey
i loveeeeeeee every single thing you drop sis <3
QMBiBi
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 ♥️
Puking king
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.
QMBiBi
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
Kenya Rochelle
hello, how would i use the tazo tea?
QMBiBi
I don’t have that issue. You’ll have to double shoot and 50/50 the ingredients to see what the problem ingredient is.
Adrina Morgan
When I try to bring up instacart, it freees my game.
YepThatsDee
Okay let me go try again and I’ll comment on there!
QMBiBi
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
YepThatsDee
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!
QMBiBi
The cookbook page lists what is required
Patrice M
do you need this to make all the recipes show?
PETRA
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 :)
QMBiBi
Hi Petra! Do you have Twitter, if you do can you send me a screenshot?
PETRA
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.
QMBiBi
There’s like 100 different ingredients so I’m not sure what you’re talking about
niyahxox
When i dowloaded it,it just showed me a red x next to the file
QMBiBi
No
Prahkeet-Mama P Sims
Thanks for responding! One more? Will your ingredients conflict with SCCO (replace them) when I use other game recipes?
QMBiBi
No
Prahkeet-Mama P Sims
Hi! I found you from OshinSims! Can I use your recipes without downloading the ingredients if I have SCCO?
QMBiBi
Thank you so much and welcome to the crew!! ♥️♥️♥️
Whiskeikitten

Kuri
😂😂😂
QMBiBi
It’s been there but you’re welcome ☺️
Kuri
Thank you for adding it just now. Appreciate it.
QMBiBi
Again, what Icemunmun veggies are needed are listed.
Kuri
I did read it. It says SOME of the frozen vegetables. Doesn't specify which ones. Same for fruits.
QMBiBi
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
Kuri
FamousSimmer
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!
Simmerina
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
QMBiBi
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?
Simmerina
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?
Mizu
Girl, bless you for making these update posts. You a real one.
Samantha P
I appreciate your help. I thought it might have been like insomnia mods lol. Thanks again for your help!
FamousSimmer
There are tons of videos on Youtube on how to download and install mods.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj_fIP5--YM
Samantha P
Hello! Your creations are amazing! I am unsure of how to download to the Mods folder. Is there a tutorial for your cc?
QMBiBi

QMBiBi

Tiffany
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.
Mendota Kelly
You are amazing. This makes my holidays. Thank you.
FamousSimmer
It's just fine Sis, no need to stress yourself, thank you for all you do to help make our game enjoyable!!
