Want to bring a little more realism to your sims’ routine errands? Check out these Grocery Store Mods and bring a bit of whimsy to a boring task.

Grocery Store Mod

In a lot of ways, our sims have an advantage over us when it comes to routine errands/chores. Many of the tasks we have to do are tedious and time-consuming, while they’re way more streamlined for sims. Bills for example all come at once and can be paid right from your phone, no account numbers or processing fees are needed. Need a haircut or a new outfit? Just pop into CAS. Grocery shopping? What’s that?

For the most part, sims really don’t have to worry about keeping their fridges stocked. In older versions of The Sims you would have to actually shop for groceries but unless you specifically play with challenges or mechanics that make it a need, sims these days never have to think about having enough food on hand. While this is convenient it’s also kind of boring. A grocery store is a great place to meet people, see what’s new in the community, or just get out of the house for a bit.

Stop, Drop, Grocery Shop!

In this piece, we’re going to share a few mods that have been created to give your sims a more realistic shopping experience. You can use these mods to build your grocery stores or add the element of grocery shopping to other community lots.

More on SNOOTYSIMS: With all of these useful grocery store mods, you have to wonder where to use them. Check out our list of Best Grocery Store Custom Content to build your own perfect grocery stores and fully appreciate the addition of a modded food shopping system!

The Sims 4 Grocery Store Mod (UNMAINTAINED)

The Sims 4 Grocery Store Mod

When we initially published a piece about grocery store mods it was solely about this mod in particular, but unfortunately the mod is no longer being maintained. It was last updated in 2016, and as of 2020 it doesn’t seem to be functioning properly anymore.

We still wanted to include it here for players who might be wondering what happened to the mod, and to let players know that it’s no longer being supported. Creator SMagGeorge appears to have left the modding community completely in 2017 to focus on IRL work.

Shop For Groceries

Shop For Groceries

This is a pretty simple mod that will allow your sims to order groceries at their convenience. Using a phone computer, tablet, or cash register, sims can purchase all produce, fish, and flowers that are available (based on the DLCs you have) and the items will show up in the sim’s inventory. Though not as realistic as going to a grocery store, it gives you another option for realism since these days many of us are able to order groceries in the same fashion. It sure beats waiting for the market stalls to open, that’s for sure!

My Grocery List Shopping Mod

My Grocery List Shopping Mod

This mod adds some challenge to the process of making food in that your ingredients will matter regardless of what you’re making (so long as it’s one of the mod’s recipes). Click on the grocery list to select a recipe to make, and if you don’t have all the needed ingredients  you will be unable to make it. Once you are able to make a recipe the sim in possession of the food item will learn the recipe themselves, or you can put the item in the fridge to teach its recipe to all sims in the household.

In order to make the mod work you need to download the included recipe files, which consist of a collection of different Hot Pocket flavorings.

There are a number of other custom foods that Insimnia has made to work with this mod. You can find them by going to their Patreon page and searching for “grocery haul.”

Grocery Market Anywhere

Grocery Market Anywhere

This mod essentially takes the market stalls of Cottage Living (required) and condenses them down into a single shopping bag that can be placed anywhere and accessed at any time. It was created to make playing with the “Simple Living” Lot Trait more bearable but you can use it to easily add a grocery store to any other lot you build. This makes it great for builders who like mixed-use community lots!

Grocery Store Pt.1

Grocery Store Part 1

Using Retail mechanics from Get To Work (required), this collection features a number of grocery display objects that have several useful properties. Different displays will allow you to purchase fruit, vegetables, and/or fish directly from them and all displays have refrigeration so stored foods will take longer to spoil. You can store foods and ingredients in these cases, and there’s plenty of slots for additional deco items.

Check the “Recommended” tab on the download page for links to Grocery Store Parts 2-4, which add additional deco objects for furnishing a full-fledged grocery store.

Bulk Grocery

Bulk Grocery

Users actually have the choice between deco-only and functional items with this set, depending on whether or not you download the optional bulk grocery mod file. The items are enabled to bulk purchase cc food ingredients made by a number of creators (all listed and linked on the download page) for a more realistic shopping experience. Ingredients include things like flour, sugar, beans, rice, and coffee.

Be sure to scroll all the way down to the “See Also” section for a link to even more functional grocery store items, as there’s a whole collection of grocery shopping bags that can be enabled to purchase regular non-CC game ingredients. Don’t forget the grocery bags mod file to make them functional!

Realistic Cooking Mod

Realistic Cooking Mod

This is a very extensive food mod which includes a functional self-checkout register than can be used to purchase ingredients from the mod, along with ingredients from several other mods such as recipes by SrslySims, ONI, Littlbowbub, BrazenLotus, & TianaSims. Put the register on any lot where you’d like to make groceries available for purchase.

I've been playing The Sims since the first game launched way back in 2000 and have been using CC for over 20 years. As a creative person with an interest in design, The Sims games have always been a great outlet for me whether I'm creating a cool sim, trying a new build style, or dabbling in CC making. The Sims really is a wonderful medium for all sorts of creative outlets and I'm happy to share my enthusiasm with other like-minded players!
