Is This By Design & a Request
I don't play vegetarian sims often, but she will autonomously 'discuss local fishing spots' and has whims to cook franks and beans and other non-veg food. I'm thinking it's an error, but thought I'd...

@sushicrow, I think this is an oversight, in regards to the "discuss local fishing spots and the Humor and Hijinks Festival. However, having a whim to cook franks and beans or any thing like that sounds like it could be a bug. 🤔 But you are right in that none of these things should be happening for Vegetarian Sims! 😞 And it surprises me about the Humor and Hijinks Festival since the developers are usually pretty good about giving our Vegetarian Sims suitable options! 🤨 I don't play with the Vegetarian trait too often unless that trait really fits a certain Sim or story I'm going for, so I didn't even know about these!
@sushicrow @PugLove888 I have also noticed when one of my sims has that trait, that their 1st preference when they autonomously grab a dish from the fridge is usually not a vegetarian meal too. And of course they get that tastes terrible animation while they eat and that negative buff after eating it. I have read that somewhere else here too. Same goes for those that autonomously cook on the grill. Always seems to be something they wouldn't normally eat. They really shouldn't do that. Sort of defeats the purpose of the trait.
@CGrant56, yes I've noticed that too! And grilling really irks me because despite their being grilled fruit, tofu-dogs, tofu burgers, and baked potatoes on the grill they will often choose the options that they shouldn't ! Also, when they grill it is for 8 servings, and if your whole household is Vegetarian, that is either a lot of wasted food, or a lot of upset stomachs! 😞 And to make matters worse, my non-Vegetarian Sims are the ones who almost always grill the tofu-dogs! 🤭
@PugLove888, @CGrant56 Yeah, I micromanage any veggie creature I make regarding food prep. Makes playing a veggie sim less appealing. I started micromanaging when my veggie sim automously grabbed a ham and cheese sandwich from the fridge.
I wonder if the autonomous hot dog making has something to do with junk food. I know that some sims I make love junk food and others prefer salads. Could the game be labeling the hot dogs as junk food and the tofu dogs as healthy? My junk food sims don't seem to go wild over tofu dogs.
@sushicrow, that is possible but I doubt it. If that were the case my non-vegetarian Sims would never grill tofu dogs, yet they do it almost every time! 😞 ! Also, Many vegetarian and vegan foods are just as bad for you as the meat versions -- those new impossible burgers and beyond burgers, You are better off eating a salad with a vinaigrette dressing (with no sugar. The original French vinaigrette dressings never had sugar! ) or some other food item that isn't heavily processed. 😇
If you are vegan because of animal rights then that is one thing, but if you are vegan or vegetarian for health reasons, there are a lot of pitfalls to avoid like the new impossible burgers and beyond burgers that are recently being offered. It would be healthier to have some fresh roasted chicken breast than to eat the heavily processed veggie burger , but of course if you are doing it for the animals, then the chicken breast is out of the question! 😉
I think the food selection in the game is either completely random, or else it could be based on your previous choices, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It seems more random to me. 😃
