Health Food Nut Lifestyle

My adventurous sim, just got the health food nut lifestyle, since they started as a rags to riches they could only afford the fridge and made a ton of salads which is how he got the lifestyle. However I find it weird that a lot of the new foods that come with Snowy Escape are not considered "healthy". I get that hot pot wouldn't be considered healthy (there's lots of oils and fats in it) but he didn't like avocado maki roll (which I consider healthy) and it gave him the wasted calories sad moodlet. I think that the foods that the game considers healthy need a bit of a tune up to include the foods from SE and CL cause a lot of those I would consider healthy eating options. Does anyone know what foods, that are NOT part of the health food nut cooking options, are considered healthy by health nut sims? So far I have found salad and pan fried tilapia to be ok. I don't want to always have to cook the health nut options as they make my sim energized and that buff is strong enough to cover other buffs, like inspired or focused, I want my sim to feel those too sometimes and not always energized from healthy foods.

  • It is pretty confusing. I like the idea of a health nut lifestyle, and I tried to get it on a few sims, but it's confusing, because I have no idea what the Sims considers healthy.

    Even before the health nut lifestyle came out, I was confused about how some sims would get a bad moodlet from eating too many quick meals, when they ate healthy things like peas and yogurt. Because of that, I figured that health nuts don't like healthy quick meals, but there was no way to determine which of the other foods count as healthy and which don't.



  • What about grilled food like Baked Potatoes, Grilled Fish, Grilled Chicken and campfire roasted fish/bugs? What about high protein bug foods from EL?

    Haven't tried everything, but one entire family got the lifestyle from eating grilled fruit, pasta primavera and grilled chicken everyday.

    -edit- okay just noticed the date of the thread, so they probably updated it since.
  • You can have all the sushi you can eat! I have a few sims with this lifestyle. 🙂

  • That’s such a relatable Sims dilemma! I agree that the definition of "healthy" in the game could use some fine-tuning—especially since dishes like avocado maki rolls, which are packed with nutritious ingredients, seem like they should qualify. It’s definitely odd that Snowy Escape and City Living introduced so many culturally rich and health-conscious meals, yet they don't align with the health food nut lifestyle. I hope they patch it to include a broader range of foods!

    In the meantime, experimenting with salads and lighter dishes seems like the way to go if you want to avoid the energized buff while still keeping your Sim happy. If you're in need of more food inspiration IRL, why not check out Wendy's Menu? It’s full of delicious options, and you can always find something that feels like a treat after gaming!
