Cooking in fireplaces & over campfires + campfires as fireplaces indoors
I admit I haven't played enough to see if anything can be cooked in a fireplace, but I believe at least marshmallows can be roasted over campfires.
I like medieval and older settings as well as some outdoor almost caveman type settings. Peasants and ancient cultures used to have fire pits or essentially campfires in the middle of their huts/homes to keep them warm and to cook over. I'd love for Sims in more rustic or older period settings to be able to cook over their campfires and in their fireplaces.
Anyone remember those cartoons and old movies where the hags or witches or whatever would have a cauldron bubbling over a fireplace? It would be great to have something like that. Sims could cook stews & soups over fires.
Another thing would be to have a sort of grill & or spit for cooking meat & vegetables.
I have some pictures to show some ideas. I apologize in advance for them being varied sizes.
Fireplace Cooking
*Pot hanging from a hook of sorts over a fireplace (I've also seen some where there is a metal bar all the way across the fireplace and the pot handle has a hook on it to hang from but I couldn't find good pictures-- closest I could find was a CC stove/grill made for Sims 2)

*Grilled fish

*Grilled vegetables (various kinds)
*Veggie kabob
*Bacon
*Grilled bread
*Griddled bread
*Grilled shrimp
*Shrimp kabob
*Griddled flat bread (can be wheat/flour/ or cornbread type)
*Bread-on-a-stick
*Pancakes (on flat griddle)
*Hot dogs
*Stew/soup (chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, veggie)
*Rice (cooked in pot)
Sims could combine various components to make new types of kabobs & stews.
