Burned Food :p
It's dinnertime...all the sims in your household are STARVING...so you promptly send one of them to cook dinner. But uh oh, their cooking level is low and they burn the food. :unamused: https:...
Forum Discussion
Ok, so maaaaybe I went a little overboard with the scenario. :p I was just being silly and really curious how you all dealt with burned food. :lol:
(Gosh try as I may to make these polls perfect...I just can't! ;) :p )
@Mikezumi I thought of you when typing the 3rd option ;) because I know how you feel about burned food and how you'd never serve it to your lovely sims. I appreciate your explanation on how very well you take care of them. :blush: And I am always impressed by your sims genetics! :star:
@igazor
^Well explained my friend.

And thanks for the tips!! :smiley:
@cwaddell
^You must have some very healthy sims. ;) (Well, before you mentioned the mac n cheese and waffles, but I'm sure they don't go overboard on those. ;) :p )
@IreneSwift
^Clever! Thanks for sharing. :)
(Can you tell I've never given a lot of thought to cooking on the sims. :lol: )
@dreamerz13
^LOL! :joy:
I was blessed to marry man who can cook and DANG can he cook!! :yum:
@Pary
^LOL! :joy: That's kind of always been my rule too. :p
@Hejix
^OMGosh that moodlet has stuck with me over the years too! :open_mouth:
And see growing up in my family of 7 children (including myself and plus mom and dad that made 9) you didn't waste ANY food! Whatsoever! I mean obviously we didn't keep around moldy food or anything like that, but y'all know what I mean. I was just raised in an environment where you ate that food whether you liked it or not and you didn't waste it!
I guess that's why I allow my sims to eat a burned meal every now and then. Like I said, it won't kill them. ;)
@TinySpaceFox
^Ditto. I do the same many times. :)
I love Martin's cute, little "disappointed in my horrible cooking" face. :blush: <3
@Sindocat Awesome meal preparation! I like it! :smiley:
@Stormkeep Yeah I don't usually allow my sims to get in the red, even pure yellow, before cooking, but I guess I sorta went a little overboard with the scenario. :p
Thanks for participating and for you comments everyone! :mrgreen: It's so fun!
I wonder which option will ultimately take the lead! :smiley:

This is going to depend on the household. First of all, sims get 24 hours of the super strong, urgent Hunger moodlet before something horrible happens. In the rare cases where the entire household is that hungry all at once, the children and older can each have a piece of fruit, which I would always have in stock even if nothing else, to tide them over while a more permanent solution is worked on.
If the household has one sim with decent cooking skill available, then they take over. If not, then it's either pizza delivery or the Unskilled Klutz/Chef of the Day tries again with something that is impossible to burn like Autumn Salad or Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches. If those don't turn out edible either or maybe instead, if they can afford it, some or all of them go out to eat or hit up a local Bakery Display for some takeout platters as many of mine by way of the NRaas Cupcake mod carry regular full meals in addition to baked goods.
But no one eats burned, spoiled, or horrifying quality food unless there really is no alternative available or the sims preparing it have the Evil trait and are only pretending to be kind to their fellow household members and guests...

@cwaddell
My sims eat a lot of autumn salad, pancakes made with apples, apples from their inventory, mac and cheese and waffles. :)

@IreneSwift
I almost always have them start with autumn salad for their first meal. Then they can eat leftovers of that if they burn subsequent meals, even for breakfast.
^Clever! Thanks for sharing. :)

@dreamerz13
I'm probably screaming at them to just eat the food in front of them (in stronger, not forum friendly, wording) too. Like I don't care if it's burnt there's food in front of you just eat it. Stop whining. I have no patience for my sims incompetence.
^LOL! :joy:

@Pary
There is a rule in my sim households - You burn it, you eat it.
^LOL! :joy: That's kind of always been my rule too. :p
@Hejix
I remember a moodlet about wasting food if trashed. It doesn't apply to burnt food, but still, it stuck with me.

@TinySpaceFox
Typically I just cheat to raise their hunger, especially if they need to head off to work quick. If I’m not that pressed for time, though, I may make them have a quick meal or even try cooking again.
^Ditto. I do the same many times. :)
