Baking Skill
Baking is a 10 level skill, and is primarily gained by sims making baked goods under the new “Bake…” pie menu option on refrigerators, or from reading baking skill books found at the bookstore.
There is also a new baking skill class available at the Bistro rabbithole for §400.
Similar to the cooking skill, the higher a sim’s baking skill level, the more recipes they will unlock, the more sophisticated their preparation animations will be, and the less likely they are to burn what they’re baking.
Sims with the Natural Cook trait will learn the baking skill faster, create higher quality baked goods more often, and won’t burn any food they bake.
Sims with the Born to Cook lifetime reward will have the quality of their baked goods increased by one level.
Child sims who use the toy oven will get a boost in the baking skill when they age into teens.
For players who use ani’s No Fridge Shopping mod, set the kNoFridgeShopping value in the XML file to “True” to require ingredients before a sim can bake a recipe.
Selling Baked Goods
Baked goods can be sold at three different places: a local bakery, the grocery store, and the bistro. Their base price is determined by their Venue Value, as listed in their recipe xml file.
At Level 3 of the baking skill, sims can sell their baked goods using the “Sell to Local Bakery” interaction on a full group serving of a baked good that is Normal quality or better.
At Level 5 of the baking skill, sims can sell their baked goods in bulk using the “Sell Baked Goods” interaction at the Grocery Store rabbithole with at least one full group serving of a baked good that is Nice quality or better. Baked goods sold here can sell for 20% more than selling to a local bakery.
At Level 8 of the baking skill, sims can sell their baked goods in bulk using the “Sell Baked Goods” interaction at the Bistro rabbithole with at least one full group serving of a baked good that is Excellent quality or better. Baked goods sold here can sell for 50% more than selling to a local bakery.
The quality of the baked goods and the skill level of the sim who baked it will increase how much the baked goods can be sold for.
If your sim has the Born Salesperson trait or the Suave Seller lifetime reward, they will make an additional 20% on any baked goods they sell.
If your sim is a Level 1 celebrity or higher, they will gain celebrity points from selling their baked goods.
Custom Recipes
There are 50 custom recipes converted from The Sims 4 and custom content creators including ONI, TianaSims, Littlbowbub, and oduvnix-ts4.
You’ll be able to choose which recipes you want and which ones you don’t.
Five desserts from The Sims 3 have also been given baking skill equivalents: Cookies, Pumpkin Pie (requires The Sims 3: Seasons), Cobbler, Key Lime Pie, and Baked Angel Food Cake.
All of these recipes are split into the following categories: Cakes, Cobblers, Cookies, Cupcakes, Gourmet, Pastries, Pies, Savory, and Other Baked Goods.
A full list of the included recipes can be found on the mod download page under the header “Custom Recipes.”
Baker’s Station Add-on
If you have the Baker’s Station installed, 30 additional recipes from that premium store content will be available to bake, with tweaked ingredient requirements and adjusted skill levels.
If you don't have the Baker's Station installed, you can delete the Baker's Station Add-on file from the mod folder.
A full list of the included recipes can be found on the mod download page under the header “Baker’s Station Add-on.”
Cookies Texture Override
I’ve also created an override for the textures on the four cookie recipes that come with the Baker’s Station using the cookie textures from The Sims 4: Get To Work.
The file is named “twinsimming_Baking_Mod [Cookies Override]” and should be placed in your Overrides folder.
New Ingredients
All of the new ingredients can be purchased from the grocery store for the following prices:
*Butter (§5) - Can also be made using my Pasteurize Milk Mod.
Chocolate (§5)
Dough (§5)
Flour (§7)
Sugar (§7)
**Whole Milk (§11)
*Note: If you have my Breakfast At Twinsimming's recipes or Pasteurize Milk Mod installed, you can delete the Butter package inside the “Ingredients” folder.
**Note: If you have my Pasteurize Milk Mod installed, Pasteurized Milk and Pasteurized Soy Milk can both be used in place of Whole Milk.
Shoutout to @nectar-cellar for the milk carton, @ccbybudgie for the flour and sugar bags, and @aroundthesims for the chocolate bar!
Creating Custom Baked Goods
For recipe creators, you can add your own recipes to the mod by using one of the following prefixes at the beginning of your <Recipe Key>, <Recipe Class>, and cooking process entries, depending on what category you want the recipe to show up under:
"TBMBakeCake"
"TBMBakeCobbler"
"TBMBakeCookie"
"TBMBakeCupcake"
"TBMBakeGourmet"
"TBMBakePastry"
"TBMBakePie"
"TBMBakeSavory"
"TBMBakeOther"
Tuning
All of the tunable values can be found on the mod download page under the header “Tuning.”

Conflicts & Known Issues
This is a new script mod so there shouldn’t be any conflicts.
Uninstallation
Just as with other custom skills, removing the baking skill may cause issues in saves where the skill has been used.
I have created a new cheat called “uninstallBakingMod” to remove the baking skill from any sims in the world and cancel all baking interactions that may be active, but use this mod with caution.
Poly Counts
All of the meshes converted are 1k poly or less!

Learning Javascript to make a wholesome baking mod for minecraft, and now I'm incredibly glad I starting coding with C# cause Java is fucking nothing compared to the shit I dealt with learning that fucker.
Started with rhubarb pie because I had just finished making a rhubarb pie irl when I decided to do this :)
Baking Mod Update (11/19/25) - Bread, Birthday Cakes, Wedding Cakes, and More! 🍞
New Recipes
Birthday and Wedding Cakes
Store Content Substitutes
Baker's Station Add-on Translation Strings
New Recipes
Three new categories have been added to the baking pie menu: Breads, Birthday Cakes, and Wedding Cakes.
There are 15 new recipes available for download (bringing the total baking recipe count to 100!!), including 4 new bread recipes for sims to bake, as listed below:
Pastries - Eclair, Kouign-Amaan (by Littlbowbub), and Pain au Chocolat
Savory - Spinach and Onion Quiche, and Spinach and Mushroom Quiche
Recipe levels, ingredients, and further requirements can be found on the mod download page under the header “Custom Recipes.”
Birthday and Wedding Cakes
This update adds support for both birthday cakes and wedding cakes with new pie menu options.
Birthday Cakes can be baked at Level 6 and Wedding Cakes can be baked at Level 9.
However, there are no birthday or wedding cake recipes included in the download.
I've added these pie menu options so other creators can make Baking Mod compatible versions of their cakes made with the Cake Connector mod.
For custom cake creators, please use one of the following prefixes at the beginning of your Recipe Key:
"TBMBakeBirthday"
"TBMBakeWedding"
Currently, birthday cakes and wedding cakes cannot be sold, but that is a feature I'm hoping to add in the future.
Store Content Substitutes
If you do not have the following store content as required by certain baking recipes, I have linked alternatives below:
Bohemian Fruits and Nuts
Humble Harvest Stands
Grandpa’s Grove
For recipes requiring the strawberry ingredient, if you don't have the store content and don't want to use the alternative version linked above, you can also use the Strawberry Plant by douglasveiga.
Baker's Station Add-on Translation Strings
I've added new translation strings for the Baker's Station Add-on to remove the duplicate baking recipes appearing on the Baker's Station with the Baking Mod installed.
Thank You
Thank you to @tianasimstreehouse, @littlbowbub, @oduvnix-ts4, JNBrownsville, and MonoChaos for allowing me to use their meshes and textures!
