Serving yourself burned food!

My sims have never gotten close to death in a long time, but they do seem to burn their food and have no time to prepare another dish, usually heading off to school or work. In those cases, I'll just have them grab a quick meal.

I have habit of making my sims food in advance cause i can't be bothered to make them cook daily

in situation i forgot to do that I still have tendency to check my sims hunger need way before it reaches the death range

if its really gonna be that very specific situation tho i probably pause game to locate easiest access to proper food

if there aint any close enough to save my sim ill just feed them the burnt meal or tbh maybe i just let them die because tbh ive no love for my ts3 sims i always end up killing them anyway so might as well use the opportunity

Same thing I would do if I was starving. Eat it and move on.

I picked other, because I don’t just have one go to. I do a variety of the choices, mostly either they eat the burnt food, I cheat up their hunger a bit, or I’ll give them a harvestable if I have any.

Usually if they are that hungry I am not messing around with cooking anyway, I would always go for the quick meal instead. But if I did screw up then yeah I would just have them grab a quick meal, usually a bowl of cereal.

Because my sims usually garden for a living, they roll wishes to prepare food using new harvestables so there is always food in the fridge to fall back on when something goes wrong. Also I have never had a sim close to starvation because I like families to eat together at breakfast and dinner. When the kids become teens they also start on the cooking skill adding to an already full fridge of goodies to eat when they are too busy to prepare fresh meals. My sims never eat quick meals because higher quality meals are the only way to keep the hunger bar from depleting too quickly.

I have them eat cereal or soup. It doesn't take long to eat and will do in an emergency situation. I recycle the burned food.

I'd just eat the food. Who cares? There are no negative moodlets, except just a really short "Good Meal" moodlet. Plus he can still earn cooking skill!

I'm not really sure, because nowadays I prefer to play with sims that are more or less fully autonomous, so it depends what the sim would do... but if they were really close to dying, I would probably just have them eat the meal as punishment for being such a lousy chef..

If it was me, I would probably just eat a quick meal instead, I'm not eating burnt food.. or just pick out the pieces that are burnt and eat the rest, because I have never actually burned a full meal before.. <_< >_>... how do you even do that? :P

Do you put all your Sims as Natural Cooks? They never burn meals if you place the trait in the personality bar.

I'm late to the poll, but I just have the sim grab a piece of fruit from the fridge (or their inventory).
