The Sims 4: Cool Kitchen Stuff is the fourth Stuff Pack for The Sims 4. The pack contains a number of new objects to help style your perfect kitchen and dining areas. Add to that the Sweet Tooth Ice Cream Machine for crafting a variety of treats which can both positively and negatively affect your Sims' moods and you have a great way to add new fun to your Sims 4 game.
This guide covers everything you need to know about the gameplay in Cool Kitchen, focusing primarily on the ice cream maker and how it can benefit your Sims.
The Sweet Tooth Ice Cream Machine makes a variety of sweet treats for your Sims to enjoy. Each batch is eight servings - both bowls and cones count as a serving each. Quality is based on the Sim's Cooking skill level and the batches last ten hours before spoiling. The treats grant the following moodlets (based on Excellent quality meal):
| Cooking | Moodlet Effect | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - 3 | Pretty Tasty Happy +1 | 4 hours |
| 4 - 6 | Delicious Dish Happy +1 | 4 hours |
| 7 - 8 | Fantastic Food Happy +2 | 5 hours |

Some flavors have other effects on your Sim in addition to the meal moodlet. Here's a list of the special ice cream effects:
Sims get an additional moodlet if their favorite topping AND garnish are used on the ice cream. Any of their traits can be a 'favorite' so if you have two Sims with a common trait they could both get it if you choose the common trait. The correct favorite is based purely on each Sim's traits. The lone exception is children, who all like the same thing (listed first):

I don’t know if I got deleted but I am gonna say it again what about the bookworm triat flavour
As far as I know the Bookworm Trait isn't mentioned in the tuning files. As any trait on a sim can trigger the favorite ice cream toppings/garnishes and sims can have up to three traits it isn't really an issue.
Thank you
