Freezers to help fish keep longer

We need freezers to help keep our fish lasting longer. I have my Sims as self sufficient as I can (without farm animals) and it would be great to have a freezer to store my fish.
  • I was thinking about this the other day while driving my work truck. They should add in a few large freezers like some people have in their
    garage or laundry room.
  • I was thinking that an ice box chest-style freezer would absolutely be a great addition, especially if they ever add a Country Life pack. Part of living in the country is preserving food as long as possible (because you're usually so far away from grocery stores and such). I can imagine that if they added a new appliance like a freezer, not only would it keep fish fresh, but they could have new interactions with it like with the current fridges and ovens.

    For instance:
    -Just like the fridge/oven allows you to cook or bake (among other things) a freezer could let you prepare "make-ahead meals" especially with the "frugal/eco" living idea they played with in Laundry Day.
    -Store freshly cooked items and leftovers you don't want to use within the typical time frame of the fridge.
    -Keep. Ice Cream. Seriously.
    -Store produce if you don't want it in your inventory.

    Freezers could be either upright or chest-style, with an added animation chance for Sims falling into the freezer chest just for fun.

    With handiness they could be upgraded like other appliances with the added function of "auto-defrost" instead of just "self-cleaning" and stuff.
  • I would LOVE this object in my game. I'd also like something to keep my fish fresh before Sims travel back home if they're fishing for any length of time. Such as a stringer to put fish on and keep in the water until going home or a 'keeper' box like ice fishermen use. If you have Outdoor Retreat, it would be wonderful if they updated the cooler so we could keep an unlimited supply of fish fresh in it until they travel back to their home lot too.

    Can't you put the fish in the fridge? I thought we could....
  • You can only put so many fish in a tank and the fish will go bad in the fridge. The freezer as in real life, extends the life of food.

    Agreed
  • Right now raw fish doesn't spoil. (At least in my game)
    They should make it so that it can spoil over time unless you put it into a fridge, an aquarium or mount the fish.
