My Grocery Shopping List Mod + Hot Pockets

Updated Version 1/09/2026 Grocery Shopping List

Getting food in the Sims is way too easy. You click on the fridge, oven, microwave etc. and there's always an endless supply. Now, things are going to get just a little bit more challenging (aka realistic).

I present to you, My Grocery Shopping List Mod!

Found under the appliances misc category. The name is My Grocery List - Insimnia. The thumbnail looks like a white rectangle laying down.

HOW TO USE (RECIPE):

1. Download the Grocery List Mod below.

2. Download the recipe file attached at the bottom of this post.

3. Click on the Grocery List to check what ingredients are needed. If you don't have them all, the recipe will be grayed out and your Sim will not be able to cook.

4. Make sure to click "open" on the ingredients if necessary, then put ALL of the required ingredients in your Sim's inventory or the fridge to "unlock" the recipes in the Grocery List Mod.

5. Once you have all the required ingredients, click on the Grocery List, and you are now able to click on the recipes.

6. For this particular recipe, make sure you have a microwave available. Even if you have the Hot Pocket already, the recipe will still be locked if you don't have one.

The Hot Pocket boxes are found under Appliances Misc. or just search "Hot Pockets" in the search bar ORRR you can download the updated version of the custom register since I added these items on there.

For the first set of recipes available in the mod, here are 12 different kinds of Hot Pockets for your Sims to enjoy!

HOW TO INSTALL:

1. To download the Grocery List Mod, download the InsimniaMyGroceryShoppingList file.

2. Simply drag and drop the PACKAGE file directly to your Mods folder.

3. To download the Hot Pockets Recipes, download the InsimniaHotPocketRecipes file and drop the PACKAGE file directly to your Mods folder.

For everyone who is having issues with the HOT POCKETS ... SO DID I!! The instructions are NOT clear but, I tested today you MUST have the shopping list on a counter or table. After opening and placing items in fridge, click on shopping list and frozen meals. Then it becomes usable.

Celebro Mine

jazzysims

Better Exceptions is picking up that your grocery shopping list and the grocery haul recipe mods are broken. Unfortunately, any food my sim tried to eat would cause them to reset and not do any action related to eating or using items in their inventory.

Myesha

Hey! All of these issues are actually addressed in the FAQ. Please go over them first and if you're still having issues, please send me a message https://www.patreon.com/posts/109538207

OK, I'm new and I just downloaded all the ingredients and the recipe. I downloaded the updated cash register but so far I don't see the option to BUY the popsicles. Also I downloaded all of the popsicle flavors but so far I only see the sugar free box in the "buy" mode and nothing happens when I click on the box. No "open" option or anything and I downloaded the "slow" option to eat them. I also notice that alot of the recipes are still "grayed out" when I try and cook them even tho I have all of the ingredients.

ange1face

yes they forgot to update it with the register mod

Dejah Monè

Is this the newest update?

FinestSims

Cid

Hello! I use WinRAR to extract zipped files https://www.win-rar.com/start.html?&L=0

Bea Vi

Hi! I am unable to unzip the RAR folder. It is only downloading as one- Any way you know how I can fix this? Thanks!

Julia Madison

Bea Vi

Coco Doll

Tyfani

Fineassim

Bea Vi

hello! yes the grocery list is compatible with other cooking mods. it's just the insimnia eats 2.0 that isn't. but i believe with somik delivery it should be compatible since theirs is not an override. message me if you need more help

Bea Vi

hello! where is the alert coming from? I have been playing with it with no issues

Bea Vi

Hello just quick question. I'm getting an alert saying this mod it outdated or unnecessary. I know it's not outdated because I downloaded your latest version. So, should I remove it? I believe I have almost everything from your page

turnheads38

Hello ! is this compatible with somika and Severinka ? or its there any delivery mod that its not compatible ? because i had this installed , and when i went to change sims in the closet and exit , my game was not working ok anymore, but once I remove your mods its been working fine.

Daniela Teixeira

just wondering how do I get the sims to actually eat the items.. when I click the food it doesn't give me any sort of options to eat it or show up when I want to cook something, only thing I can do is buy the items but not use them..

Ny’lle Farris

I have a question and i can nit figure out how to drink the OJ or eat the icecream, do i need bowls and cups? is so where can i find these

Bratz

I just posted an update. Do you see it now? Try to use a different browser if you still can't

Bea Vi

Bea Vi

Hello, I do not see where to download. Where is the file?

QuannP

Hello! I tried to extract this hot pocket file and it comes up and says file no longer exists. Do you know why this would be? I've never had this mod before.

Kaila Crawford

Hii, Im having an issue with the Grocery list. None of the recipes are showing up for me- i bought all the groceries testing to see if it was my end, and even removed the mod and reinstalled. It still does not show any recipes its all white and blinking. Now this could be something simple and i just dont know how to fix it, but maybe you can explain or help <3 Ty so much sweetie!

Moona_TTV

does this conflict with Srsly's Complete Cooking Overhaul

Toni Franklin

Hi! You just need to delete the old version of the Grocery List mod if you are replacing it with the latest version.

Bea Vi

Hi, do i delete the recent Insimnia grocery haul?

Stephanie Gibson

Hi, please see the How To Use section on the post above which will walk you through on how to cook the food, as well as the pictures for additional guidance. Message me if you need more help

Bea Vi

i have a question. I am trying to make the hot pocket when I open the package it goes to my sims inventory and when I click on it all it says is place in world? how do I get my sim to cook it?

Rachel Morehead

Are you sure this file InsimniaMyGroceryShoppingList.package is in your Mods folder?

Bea Vi

I did that and I don't see it at all

Cici_Janae'

Hi you can manually find it under the appliances misc category. or you can Type in the name "My Grocery List - Insimnia". The thumbnail looks like a white rectangle laying down

Bea Vi

So Im wondering what I am doing wrong when I type in the shopping list in buy mode the name pops up but when I click to search nothing comes up

Cici_Janae'

Hello, if you are referring to the poster above you, the issue was because she had this mod that was conflicting: LittleMsSam_Scarlet_NoRequiredIngredients.ts4script Please send me a message if you need more help

Bea Vi

I am also having this same issue. Has it been fixed for you at all?

Malika Seriki

Hello! I am having a small issue right now with the grocery list mod. I am able to cook things even when I do not have the ingredients. To my knowledge, I have all of your ingredients, recipes, and both this and cash register downloaded and installed. I have the simple life challenge on my lot but I've tested it without the challenge being on as well. The only items greyed out for me / unable to be cooked are the ones that require a microwave. Otherwise the game says 0/1 or whatever the amount needed is and is greyed out but I can still click on it and cook it. Do you know what may be causing this?

Kaniesha

Hey! I have a recipe in mind you should do. You should do fettuccine alfredo! (You dont have to, just a recipe idea!) (I love your recipes btw!)

iiNixii_YT

Hey! maybe the food has just gone bad? or maybe the sim making the food has a low cooking skill

Bea Vi

Hey! my game says some of the food is bad is it because I have to update the grocery list is that the fix?

Lando Notes

same

Fanta

Hi! They shouldn't

Bea Vi

Hi do your mods conflict with QMBiBi mods

Capucine Chatman

Hi, you should be able to download all the files. It might be an issue with your browser

Bea Vi

its not a downloadable file for me .

Efrena Ivory

Hi if you're not able to click on the recipe, then it means you're missing ingredients and need to get it from my custom register or buy mode. If you need more help, please message me directly since Patreon doesn't notify me anymore when there's a reply to a thread

Bea Vi

Each time i try to make a recipe even though i have enough it says im still missing ingredients

Carrie

Heavenly Natural

Ciara Winters

Hello! it means you didn't download any recipes that belong in different categories like "Desserts." Make sure you download them here https://www.patreon.com/Insimniacreations?filters[tag]=custom%20recipes It's ok if it doesn't say "Open," it will still work.

Bea Vi

Hi, so I made sure my mod was updated and that my sim had every ingredient and it still just says frozen meals when I click the list ... also when i try to open any ingredient it just has orange circle that is next to open but it does not say " Open "

ZeeBabiee

Hi you probably have a duplicate grocery list file that's overriding the latest version

Bea Vi

When I click on the grocery list to make food the only options that show up is “rice & pasta” and “frozen meals” and I can’t find any other option but on the register I can find everything

Ttfoeve

Hi, maybe the cooking skill is too low?

Bea Vi

Bella Du'pree

LiaBae513

Hello! What happens when you click on the list?

Bea Vi

Hi I've downloaded this and the food for the recipes but I cannot find them in the game. I've enabled the custom content inside of the game as well. My daughter has tried on her own comp as well and it won't work for us. We aren't new to mods lol. Are we missing a step?

Hello, where can I find the register?

Denali Gordon

Hi, not a bother at all! If it's not showing, you might have a previous version of the grocery list mod in your Mods folder. Make sure you locate that and delete it. Keep just the latest version in there.

Bea Vi

sorry to bother but for some reason the new menu for “home cooked meals” won’t show.. i got the new update as well as the recipe and the ingredients but it still won’t show

Kayla Alexander

Hi, you have to click on the list, not the actual hot pocket. If you scroll up to the How it Works section, there's a step-by-step tutorial on how to cook the hot pockets. Please take a look at the Features section as well for additional guidance.

Bea Vi

I have all the hot pockets, and the new register. When I click on the hot pocket, my sims doesn't take it to the microwave. When I drag it to place in in the world, my sims still doesn't do anything with the hot pocket. What am I doing wrong?

S. Jones

okay messaged you on instagram.

Simply Lavi

Hi can you send a picture of all the insimnia files that you have in your mods folder? You can send it to insimniapatreon@gmail.com. or if you have instagram you can send it to @insimnia.sims4x
