Can we add something with some kind of food/drinks allergies in CAS?

It always annoyed me we have lactose intolerant as a trait, i rather have it with allergic in CAS, some people have other food/drinks allergies

We also need a food likes/dislikes category but i seperate it with the other topic, but food/drinks allergic shouldn't be a trait but more like in as like a category we don't have yet (maybe just like lovestruck how they added seperate category for sims who have their preferences to other sims when it comes to love but more like in food/drinks versions)

I hope the team add a different category with the food allergic so we can turn it on because some people are allergic with some foods and drinks

  • I think the food allergies and diets could stay as traits but they shouldn't fulfill the 3 slots on CAS.  And they shouldn't be showed/named as traits even if they work as one, because that's a little disrespectful with allergic people.

    I play this game as an escape. Last thing I want is my sim to accidently kill another sim with a peanut allergy.

    If I remember correctly, they're not implementing this now, but they might implement it later. It was in October, on the 20th.

  • The Sims team recently answered this in the Food, Drink & Dine Out QA session and they said they have no intention of moving food allergy based things away from traits into into preferences or Likes & Dislikes as this would cause data loss/save corruption on Sims players already have with the traits.

  • The way the game is coded only allows it as a trait, similar to being a vegetarian. The likes/dislikes are very shallow and meaningless, as are the turn on/off categories. Implementing it similar to that would also make it meaningless. I know some players think the game should magically mirror irl experiences, but that isn't something that can be done.

    I believe there should be a pack that allows Sims to have allergies. For example, a sim could eat a peanut butter jelly sandwich and discover they’re allergic to peanuts and have to either use an EpiPen or go to the hospital.
