what if we need to buy strawberries?????????????????????
you grow them i guess... ^-^
🤔 I'm afraid I don't understand what all the fuss is about not having strawberries unless you grow them, because every recipe just automatically lets you cook it by just clicking on it, so you buy all the items you need for any recipe by just choosing that recipe 🙂 (with the exception a couple of recopies that came with the Outdoor Retreat Game Pack, in which you actually have to go to a National Park and fish for the correct fish in order to make that recipe) ! Yes, food is better with home grown produce, but if you don't want to garden, then just have your Sims raise their cooking skill and the food quality will improve! :eahigh_file: To ensure you don't get a bad moodlet from bad tasting food, just have your Sim only cook recipes that are 1 skill level below their current level. While you can't do this until they are at Cooling level 2, it takes no time to get up to that level, especially if you have them watch the Cooking Channel every time they watch TV! 😎 They have fun and learn at the same time! Also, if you don't want to garden, just collect plant from around the neighborhood from time to time -- that way you have at least some produce on hand, but don't have to spend time watering and weeding! It is in reality, free food! 🥳
I was also going to mention what @PhysicalDelete mentioned: if you have the City Living Expansion Pack, then go to the San Myshuno town and visit the Spice Market neighborhood where there is usually a produce stand where you can buy many of the produce in the game! You can also visit the Romance Festival and the Spice Festival when they are in town and harvest from the plants they have at the festival, including a few rarer items! 😇
There really is no need for grocery stores in the game, except to mimic our real lives! 😉
I hope this helps all of you!
No offense, Puglove, but look here. Just because you are not interested in grocery stores, does not mean others are not. The thread is a question about why we cannot have them, not opinions on why we don't need them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not too particular about grocery stores myself, it's cute but I have no need for it. That said, there are things that I really do need and want and so I can completely respect what others want.
Again, I do not mean this to sound offensive, but telling those why they don't need what they want is offensive. I thought you may wish to understand this because some people really do not know how it sounds.

There is a product stall in the Spice Market area of San Myshuno, sells basic food like onion, carrot, tomato, grapes etc. Have just bought some stuff from there
In my opinion, it needs to be a bit more than that. Like that is good and all, but we should be able to walk into a given store and buy things like in RL.
BTW, thanks for the heads up.
