See how the new Family Recipes will work in The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies!
We have an entirely new look at The Sims 4 Family Recipes system coming with the Businesses & Hobbies Expansion Pack. Which is out on March 6th, 2025 across PC, Mac, PS and Xbox platforms!

The latest preview was brought together by @lunar_britney who created an entire thread from the latest Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies leak. Visually explaining how the new Family Recipes system will work in the game!
Creating a Sims 4 Family Recipe
To create a Family Recipe in The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies, simply click on the fridge > Family Recipes… From there, you’ll be able to select four different interactions:
- Create a Family Recipe…
- Prepare a Family Recipe…
- Teach Family Recipe….
- View Family Recipes


The creation of a Sims 4 Family Recipe is quite intuitive. You’ll be able to create unique Family foods using three different components. A Base Recipe, Secret Ingredient and a Special Touch!
All of these can be mixed together into a unique Sims 4 Family Recipe combination that you can name and save to your game. As mentioned above, Family Recipes will be able to get passed down the generations and get taught to other Sims. Making it an excellent way to deliver the unique flavors out to the world!

The Base Recipe is what’s going to define your Sims 4 Family Recipe the most. You’ll also be able to use Fresh Ingredients from your inventory, choosing from various Fruits, Vegetables, Meats, Nonmeats, Dairy and Lactose-Free options. For Secret Ingredients you’ll be able to experiment using The Sims 4 Fuits, Vegetables and flour.



Special Touch is a new Gameplay Effect for your Family Recipe. Letting you control exactly how a Sim is going to feel after eating a specific Sims 4 Family Recipe!
There are also exclusive Family Recipe special touches that you can unlock through The Sims 4 gameplay. Such as the Fertility Unleashed Special Touch.

The Family Recipe System is just one of the new features coming with The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies! Stay tuned on Sims Community for more exciting feature coverages.
Boycott the Sims. Releasing buggy, overpriced, shallow content!
Not to be a jerk but you do realize this is a Sims 4 fan/information site right? I get frustration (I mean prom never works for me) but I think most people on here get really excited for new sims content. Just saying.
they’re the ones being a jerk. he’s been commenting on every post this page has been posting. go look lol
True…I mean as I said I get the frustration(s) but I personally like reading about new content.
you sound like you’re so miserable and not getting any tail at home. lol grow up.
HAS ANYONE been able to unlock the fertility unleashed recipe? If so how because I swear its bugged and other people are having trouble unlocking it.
