[IL] Extra Food Event is Obnoxious
I suppose I'm venting as much as anything, but my Sulani neighbours are getting on my nerves. They keep bringing over "extra food" but it's entirely pointless for two reasons. First off, my Sim doesn...

@iamsweetmystery ages ago when I first added Eco Living I had a bug where max NAPs were set in some places in a short period of time without my choosing them, it still seems to be affecting some players. I had a Sim move to all neighbourhoods to check if they were affected and repeal them and I remember that in Ohan'ali Town it was Sharing is Caring and until it was repealed he couldn't stop neighbours arriving and he couldn't get rid of them even with Trespassing settings. If memory serves it's my only experience with that NAP. (The less said about the Free Love NAP the better...!)
@simsplayer818 - I only just saw this message. I don't think I got a notice. I do like and use Free Love, though it does have it's problems. It can be useful for open relationships and pairs well with the Player Trait. Also a great way to earn a lot of Influence Points with highly affectionate households. However, it does occasionally backfire. Recently, I was running a Food Sale and one of the customers just came up and kissed my Sim out of the blue. It also doesn't account for preferences, so my lesbian Sims have had men attempt to kiss them. Didn't end well for the guy, getting shoved away and scolded. That NAP is definitely a two-edged sword. It is one of the better ones, but that's mainly because the bar is set pretty low in the first place.
Yeah, if you’re doing rags to riches or otherwise playing a penniless, omnivorous Sim, the Extra Food event is nice, but otherwise your neighbors come over, hang out for six hours, eat all your excellent quality food out of your fridge and leave you with normal quality pork. 🤦♀️🤣
I have some “child of the islands” Sims and I always appreciate it for them, but am mildly annoyed for some other households. That said, I play rotationally and sometimes the event is my Sims from other households and I always love seeing them, so…
And yes, for a vegetarian Sim it would be incredibly obnoxious!
@xochiquetzl_xkvn - Mhm. For advanced characters who've already gotten the Reward Traits of Hardly Hungry or Forever Full, it's entirely useless. Of course they haven't had a meal in a while if they don't need to eat. I feel like this particular feature, while well intentioned and reasonably useful, was not thoroughly thought out. It doesn't account for Vegetarians, Vampires, or Sims that don't require food.
@iamsweetmystery Yeah, I do have a vampire married to a mermaid. The mermaid eats so I don’t see this event much in her household, but… obviously, her wife has no need for the extra food.
