Custom Food Interactions updated to Version 8-1-5 with icemunmun resources

Mod The Sims shows "Custom Food Interactions (Update 25th Feb 2026)" as Version 8-1-5 with two conspicuous entries: "Added New Cottage living fridges" and "New Resources by icemunmun." The download page header and image gallery are live on the Mod The Sims entry for TheFoodGroup's long-running Custom Food Interactions mod.

TheFoodGroup's package is the core loader for icemunmun recipes in many players' libraries. SimsCommunity describes the package as "the core mod for Icemunmun’s custom food recipes specifically, unlocking the ability to access these recipes from any cooking item in the game, such as fridges, stoves, etc." SimsCommunity also lists a separate "Custom Drink Interaction" that "allows your sim to grab and buy custom drinks from bars," tying the ecosystem of recipe files and interactions back to icemunmun as publisher.

The 8-1-5 listing sits on top of an explicit changelog captured on the Mod The Sims page. Earlier entries include an "Update 6-1" that reads: "- Added compatibility with Dream Home Decorator Stove Tops," "- Added New recipe phases," "- Added Support for Ice Cream," "- Changed Custom grill menu from Pie Menu to Recipe picker," and "- Recipe Resources by icemunmun." Update 6-0 includes: "- Added New Purchase Ingredients interaction to Fridge ( Requires Seed Packets and Ingredient Boxes )," "- Added New Grab Ice Cream Interaction ( recipes will be added later)," and "- Added new recipe resources by icemunmun." An earlier "Update 5-9" explicitly lists "- Hotfix to fix the script error" and "- Added Fridge tuning from Delicious Kitchen Pack by LittleDica" alongside "Recipe resources by icemunmun - Mochi [...]" and the dated line "Update 18th -19th May, 2021 : Version 5-9."

The Mod The Sims page also carries a media set with exact filenames and sizes that players use for verification: tomato-salad_menu-picker.jpg (1180x880), pbox_two-soups_menu_serve.jpg (1060x800), pbox_custom-foods_serve-dessert.jpg (1080x780), fruitshakes_piemenu-1.jpg (960x720), and a sequence of TS4_x64 screenshots including TS4_x64 2017-09-11 04-07-48-69.jpg (1023x750) and TS4_x64 2019-04-20 16-09-19-14.jpg (840x504) captioned "Nested Menu."

Individual recipe uploads by icemunmun are listed in the archive on the same page. Examples include "Olive And Cheese Plate Custom Food (Update - 9.7.2020) by icemunmun updated 10th Jul 2020 at 1:22am," "Olive and Lemon Spaghetti Custom Food (Update - 9.7.2020) by icemunmun updated 10th Jul 2020 at 1:21am," "Olive Bread Custom Food (Update - 9.7.2020) by icemunmun updated 10th Jul 2020 at 1:20am," "Hot and Sour Soup Custom Food (Update - 9.7.2020) by icemunmun updated 10th Jul 2020 at 1:19am," and "Peach Crumble Custom Food (Update - 9.7.2020) by icemunmun updated 10th Jul 2020 at 1:18am."

Community threads show active reports since the update. A Mod The Sims forum poster posted a Better Exceptions screenshot and wrote: "I have the latest version of this and am still getting this LE report. Anyone have any ideas what the cause is? Here is the screenshot of the report from Twisted Mexi's Better Exceptions mod LAST EXCEPTION REPORT FOR CUSTOM FOOD INTERACTIONS." Another forum user described gameplay freezing in detail: "When I click on the fridge there's quite a long delay until the menu pops up and I can't click on anything else in the meantime. Then, when I select a meal for my sim to cook, there's some more delay and when the sim reaches the fridge the sim freezes for considerable time in which the other sims continue to move but I can't click on anything else. This freezing happens several times during the cooking, usually every time a new cooking stage begins (for instance when the sim puts the food from the bowl into a pan). In truth, this really spoils the whole cooking experience for me," and several users on SimsCommunity reported nanny-related problems after Cottage Living: "Cottage Living update still doesn't play nice with nannies. They go on a cooking frenzy. My sim's kitchen was littered with half-finished custom food cutting boards and bowls."

A Reddit poster reporting the same Last Exception behavior wrote: "When I load the game I can use the fridge normally for a moment, until I get a last exception, then I can no longer use the fridge interactions (and I continuously get the last exception). I have the most recent version of the mod (updated on 2/13) and I even tried switching back to the version I had before updating, but the problem remains. This Better Exceptions report has shown this as the only thing that could be the issue, but I really don't understand it. I'm not sure how to fix this." Community troubleshooting suggestions include the exact line: "Do you have any other fridge/stove related mods ? Make sure there are no other versions of this mod hiding in your folders. Apart from the picker menu, you can also cook the recipes from the breakfast/brunch/lunch/dinner/dessert pie menu. The recipes are appearing under those pie menus ?"

Mod The Sims' download page is the authoritative source for the 25 Feb 2026 listing and Version 8-1-5, while community posts indicate unresolved Last Exception reports and gameplay freezes tied to fridge and cooking interactions. Until icemunmun or TheFoodGroup follow up with a fuller 8-1-5 changelog or a hotfix, players reporting freezes are using community workarounds such as checking for conflicting "ohmysims food" files and trying the breakfast/brunch/lunch/dinner/dessert pie menu to access recipes. I will monitor the Mod The Sims entry and icemunmun recipe uploads for an expanded 8-1-5 changelog and any author fixes.
