When I first started playing Sims 3, I noticed a pretty cool interaction while bumbling in the park. While I was trying to get to know a sim, I saw the interaction "trade kitchen secrets," and found to my surprise that you could learn a new recipe if you used it. Cool! ... except that it only seems to happen with one or two sims around town. Uncool! Eventually I learned that the ability to trade kitchen secrets was tied to having the "natural cook" trait, which frankly is ridiculous. There are plenty of people who will NEVER be a natural cook, but can still teach you a recipe or two that you couldn't make on your own!

This is a simple tuning mod that disables the "natural cook" requirement, so that any sim in town will potentially be able to share a recipe with you. The requirements to "trade kitchen secrets" remain the same as before:

* Your sim will need to have at least one cooking skill point.
* The target sim you are interacting with will also need to have at least one cooking skill point, and know at least one recipe that your sim doesn't. A higher-level cook will likely find that they can't trade recipes as frequently. The target sim cannot be a member of your household.
* Your sim will need to have 20 points of relationship value with the target sim before this interaction will appear. This interaction appears under the "friendly" sub-menu.



This mod was made on patch 1.63 and is base-game compatible. To use this mod, place it in your Mods/Packages folder (and clear your cache files just to be safe). This mod will conflict with any another mod that alters the resource SocialData, __XML 0x0333406C.

Please let me know if you get any unexpected results or have trouble. Happy Simming!
